The resisting Russian Western Front Army Guard Regiment was quickly suppressed by the superior forces of the rebels. The regiment suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the rest surrendered. Since then, the entire Lviv has been controlled by the rebels. . Yukovsky, commander-in-chief of the Western Front Army, also committed suicide in desperation.
After taking control of Lviv, Leonid and others immediately sent someone to contact the French army, and then the 4th Division of the French 88th Army entered Lviv. Seeing that the general situation was over, the 18th Army of the Western Front of the Russian Army broke through from Zhovkva, but only more than 10,000 people in the whole army successfully broke through. Moreover, they have to endure the test of the Pripet Swamp, and only God knows how many people can escape back to Russia in the end.
After solving the Russian Western Front, the Iberian Army exchanged fire with the Russian Southern Front in the Zolochev area. Because the Russian Southern Front was very cautious and afraid of falling into the trap of the French army, the battle was not fierce. After hearing the news that there was a mutiny in Lviv, it had been occupied by the French army, and the Western Front was completely destroyed. The southern front army immediately began to retreat, and the speed was even faster than when it came. Before the Iberian Army could react, they ran away without a trace. They retreated from western Ukraine to eastern Ukraine, where they were originally stationed.
The victory in the Western Ukraine campaign at a very small cost not only wiped out the Russian Western Front, but also attracted a group of Russian traitors. This made Xiao Jie very happy. After all, revolutionary fortresses are usually breached from within. Using Russians to deal with Russians seems to be a very good plan.
Therefore, Xiao Jie decided to officially appoint Leonid as the commander-in-chief of the Russian Liberation Army and canonize him as Marquis of the French Empire. Vladimir is Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Liberation Army and Count of the French Empire. Mikhail is the Chief of Staff of the Russian Liberation Army and Count of the French Empire. The Russian Liberation Army is mainly composed of the rebels led by the three of them and the elite soldiers selected from the Russian prisoners of war. After reorganization, the Russian Liberation Army has compiled 75,000 people and is composed of 5 infantry divisions. Moreover, Xiao Jie also promised to provide them with a batch of arms for free, and promised to support them in establishing an independent Russian republic.
After receiving Xiao Jie's reward and great support, Leonid and the others were very grateful, and even led a four-point attack, from the western region of Ukraine to the central region. And they have repeatedly cooperated with the French army to attack the Russian army. They killed their own compatriots, even the French army felt ashamed, that's a cruelty!
After the end of the Battle of Western Ukraine, the Russian army suffered heavy losses and had to abandon the border area and shrink the line of defense. The French army did not take advantage of the situation to attack, because the front line was too long, the logistics line was extremely fragile, and the pressure was very high. Coupled with the continuous uprisings in newly occupied areas such as Austria, which frequently endanger the logistics line, it is very difficult for the French army to launch large-scale campaigns. Even after dispatching the air force to help transport, they can only barely maintain the daily consumption. Part of combat supplies. If this continues, it will take at least several months to accumulate enough combat materials to launch a large-scale attack. Therefore, the French army had to stop attacking and switch to strategic defense before the logistical supply line was stabilized. Except for small-scale sorties, the other fronts are on the defensive. This also greatly relieved the Russian side, because they can use this time to recruit and train more troops, and prepare a large amount of strategic materials. Kutuzov also discovered the role of guerrilla warfare. At his strong request, the Russian government even dispatched a large number of elite soldiers to lurk in areas controlled by the French army, especially in Ukraine and Austria, to form guerrillas and attack French troops. Army rear. The French army was devastated, there was no way, the French army had to invest a lot of troops to wipe out the guerrillas in Russia and Austria.
"Your Majesty, the guerrillas in the Austrian region of Ukraine are causing more and more damage to us. They are like mice, hiding in the dark and attacking our logistics supply line. It has caused great pressure on the front line." Eck Reported to Xiao Jie with a bitter face. Telegrams from the front line requesting supplies almost filled his desk, but he had no solution.
Xiao Jie also frowned. No one understood the power of guerrilla warfare better than him. He never thought that it would be used by the Russians and Austrians on him. "Think about whether it is possible to temporarily transfer a group of troops from the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Thuringia, and the Kingdom of Bohemia to fight those **** guerrillas and protect the logistics supply line." Xiao Jie thought for a while. suggested.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid not. Our supply line is too long, and the losses of these three countries in the war are also very large. I'm afraid we won't be able to raise enough troops." Dougal also said with a frown.
"I suggest that we support several new countries on the territory of Austria as soon as possible, and let them destroy those guerrillas with our help. In this case, we will only pay a batch of weapons and equipment. Compared with sending troops to destroy them ourselves, Much less expensive," suggested Eck.
"Your Majesty, can we consider building a few new supply lines? Even if there is no guerrilla threat, due to the long front line, our logistics pressure will be very high." Luo Di, who is the Minister of Logistics, said. Like Equipment Minister Dioka, he was Xiao Jie's childhood playmate. After Xiao Jie came to the throne, the two of them naturally held high positions.
"New supply line?" Xiao Jie, Dougal, and Eke looked at Roddy who was getting fatter and fatter in surprise.
"Yes. Our current supply line is completely composed of land transportation, which is not only dangerous, but also very expensive. I think we can consider putting the supply line at sea. Now that our navy has dominated Europe, we can definitely Organize a transport fleet to directly transport combat materials to northern Poland, which can shorten the distance a lot and save a lot of consumption. As for the threat of the Russian Baltic Fleet, I think it can be solved by sending a fleet escort. said Roddy.
"Okay, that's a good idea." Xiao Jie said happily. Sea transportation is much better than land transportation. A large cargo ship can transport tens of thousands of tons of materials, which is much more than land transportation. It can also save a lot of costs.
Dougal and Eck also nodded in agreement.
"Well, I will leave the task of setting up the supply line at sea to you, and I will ask the Navy to assist you." Xiao Jie said to Roddy gratified. He is very happy that his playmate has such ability. Needless to say, Dioka, under his leadership, the General Armament Department has done a great job. A large number of new weapons have been continuously invented and equipped to the troops, which has continuously improved the combat effectiveness of the French army. Now even Luo Di, who originally thought he had no ability, can make such a good suggestion, which makes Xiao Jie very happy.
"Your Majesty, I think we can establish a sea transportation line not only to Poland, but also to Ukraine. In this way, we can directly supply the Ukrainian army." Eck suggested after thinking for a while.
"Okay, order the Mediterranean Fleet and the Marine Corps to start combat preparations. To establish a maritime supply line to Ukraine, the Turkish Strait is now in our hands. We only need to destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet and occupy the Crimea Peninsula. I believe that the small Black Sea Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet should be able to solve it very well." Xiao Jie said with a smile.
While the French army was fighting fiercely with the Russian army in Austria, Ukraine, Poland and other places, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The coalition forces composed of France and the Jewish state also completed their attack on Turkey and captured Istanbul, the capital of the Turkish Empire.
At the end of April, the Mediterranean fleet bombarded Canakkale, destroying the city. Afterwards, the Mediterranean fleet forcibly passed through the strait, destroying all the forts set up by the Turkish Empire on both sides of the strait along the way, and entered the Sea of Marmara. At the same time, the coalition forces also defeated the last main force of the Turkish army in the Bursa area. After this battle, the military power of the Turkish Empire was destroyed.
At the beginning of May, the coalition forces approached the city of Istanbul and surrounded Istanbul. The Mediterranean Fleet also bombarded this thousand-year-old city. Under strong pressure, Sultan Mahmud II of the Turkish Empire surrendered. Since then, the war against Turkey has ended. France and the Jewish State forced the Turkish Empire to sign a very harsh treaty, which ceded all the eastern Mediterranean region west of the Assi River and the Jordan River, including Cyprus Island, to the Jewish State, and compensated France and the Jewish State for their huge military expenditures, totaling 10 billion francs (Equally divided between France and the Jewish state), allowing France to station troops in the Turkish Strait, the French navy can also navigate freely in the strait, and cede the area within 50 kilometers of the Persian Gulf coast to France free of charge. The Turkish government has nothing to regret about this desert area, and even the Jewish government feels very strange why France wants this desert. This was actually added by Xiao Jie on purpose. Now it seems that these areas are worthless and barren lands, but after a hundred years, these areas will be golden mountains!
