However, the Israelis participated in the war again, and their military strength on the southern front was even stronger than when the Tsaritsyn Battle began.

As a result, Ao Ye and Man Ye's attempt to find a fighter plane and eat some of the Israelis could not be realized at all.

The enemy's troops are very strong and they have established several strong lines of defense on the front line. It is very difficult to break through.

Not only were their troops much stronger, but when dealing with tanks, the coalition forces were no longer as panicked as before.

After trying the 88 anti-aircraft guns to attack tanks and achieving great success, the coalition forces were no longer afraid of tanks.

Often there is an 88-gun hidden on the flanks of a position, or in a corner that cannot be seen.

These guns are not anti-aircraft and are designed to deal with tanks on the ground.

The huge muzzle velocity brings a straight trajectory, and it can easily penetrate the armor of the Ming Dynasty tank at a distance of about two thousand meters.

The power of this thing is quite terrifying, because the tank guns of many Daming tanks cannot reach this far.

At this distance, the Ming Army's existing tanks, except for Type IV, could barely withstand it, but other tanks could not withstand it at all.

As long as one shot is hit, the entire turret will be opened. The tank crew inside will basically have a narrow escape from death.

This is what Li Xiao feels distressed about. The precious wealth of the Ming Dynasty's armored forces is definitely not those majestic-looking tanks and armored vehicles.

It's these tank soldiers who have been trained so hard!

These tank soldiers all graduated from elementary school, and many even had junior high school diplomas.

If we were to say which military branch in the Ming Dynasty had the highest academic qualifications, besides pilots, it would be the tank soldiers.

Every tank destroyed meant the departure of four great young men that Ming Dynasty had worked hard to train for ten years.

Now that Li Xiao has ordered the tank troops to withdraw to the second-line position again, Li Xiao feels that it would be more effective to use the armored troops for counterattack.

The 88-gun is a great threat to tanks, but it also has weaknesses.

That is, the 88 artillery moves too slowly and cannot keep up with the rapid movement of the troops.

This is a fatal weakness. Once the coalition forces break through the Russian position, the 88-gun can't keep up with the advancing speed of the troops!

The moving 88 artillery pieces are likely to be targets for the Air Force.

If there is any branch of the military that hates artillery more than tank troops, it must be the air force.

When the plane is at low altitude, this thing will fire shotgun shells. At an altitude of three to five hundred meters, a large area will be covered with shrapnel. If you are not careful, you will hit it.

Even if you pull it to a height of three thousand meters, this thing can still be reached.

But the problem is that, as a dive bomber, the Stuka needs to dive to drop bombs to increase accuracy.

If the Air Force encounters the Eight-Eight Artillery, it must kill it no matter what.

Without the 88 artillery pieces, the coalition forces would be like tigers without claws.

At this time, dispatching armored troops to conduct a surprise attack on the attacking coalition forces will definitely result in the loss of lives at a very low cost.

Li Xiao calls this tactic elastic defense!

After the tragic Battle of Tsaritsyn, the first round of the war for both sides was finally over.

Everyone is tired from playing and has entered a rest period.

This rest period won't be too long. It's estimated that when spring comes, there will be another fierce battle.

Li Xiao did not return to the Ming Dynasty, but stayed in Moscow.

The bet between Li Lin and Rasputin quickly reached Li Xiao's ears.

Li Xiao didn't object much to his son's gambling.

After all, everyone has a gambling instinct.

It takes strong self-control to restrain one's desires over many years.

Li Xiao doesn’t want his son to live too hard!

"Moscow has been too chaotic recently.

My soldiers drank wine, gambled, visited prostitutes, and slept with prostitutes in Moscow. There were countless such things.

There are even underground opium dens in Russia.

Specially for people to smoke duck slices!”

Stewie shook his head helplessly. After all, Moscow is the capital of Russia, not the Ming Dynasty.

And most of the people who do these things have some influence in Russia.

The Ming army wanted to intervene, but they were powerless.

"Duck slices? Does anyone in Russia touch this thing?" Li Xiao frowned, what he hated most was duck slices.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, possessing this thing is a capital offense, and there will be no negotiation and no reduction of punishment.

Selling this thing will bring bad luck to the whole family.

In fact, Li Xiao was very opposed to Lian Zu, but when it came to selling duck slices, Li Xiao did not hesitate to start Lian Zu.

Now, almost no one among the 400 million people in the Ming Dynasty smokes this stuff.

The number of smokers is increasing day by day.

Of course, the profits and taxes brought by cigarettes are also increasing day by day.

Li Hao wrote in a letter saying that if this continues, the cigarette tax will be able to support a small part of the Ming Dynasty's finances.

“It’s all done by people from the upper echelons of Russia, and most of the planting areas are mountainous areas like Azerbaijan.

Where do we have the strength to eradicate those things now?

Since these people are powerful in Moscow, we should not offend them too much.

But if any of our soldiers are found smoking this stuff, they will be shot on the spot.

More than a dozen people have been killed, which shocked some people.

But I heard that some people are still taking it secretly.

This kind of thing is hard to guard against, and some soldiers who are illiterate still think this stuff is good and smoke it to refresh themselves.

He said how great it would be if he smoked this thing during a war and didn't have to sleep for several days."

"Fart!" Li Xiao stood up in anger.

He deeply knows the harm that duck slices can do to the army!

Soldiers, especially those who have come off the battlefield, will have the feeling that their lives have been saved.

They usually have a period of indulgence, and their lives are saved anyway. If they don't enjoy themselves immediately, they may be dead in the next battle.

With this kind of thinking, they are more likely to get contaminated with duck fillets.

But they don't know how deadly this thing is.

It feels good to smoke it for a while, but you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"Deploy military police to search and destroy all underground opium dens we know of. Anyone who encounters resistance or obstruction will be killed without mercy!"
