"What did you do? So many of our troops were easily destroyed by the Chinese. ◎. You have promised that our troops will definitely defeat the Chinese and win the victory of the war. This has made me look forward to it. But now? What I have been waiting for is the bad news that the elite troops were destroyed!" Alexander II roared angrily. He felt that he had been deceived by these military bosses, and felt like he was like a clown, which made him unacceptable.

"Your Majesty, the generals on the front line have tried their best. It's not that we are too weak, but that the enemy is too strong. Although our army has further progressed over the years, the enemy is also progressing. And their progress is far greater than that of us. This directly led to our disastrous defeat in this war." Duke Gorchakov said with his head down.

The Russian army has indeed made great progress compared to the last war. However, in front of the Chinese army, they are still like a child. The Chinese army is an adult, and they are also adults holding sharp weapons. Unarmed children of course cannot fight with adults holding sharp weapons. This directly led to the Russian army's disastrous defeat.

"Is the gap between us and the Chinese really that big? No, I don't believe it." Alexander II shook his head and did not accept this reason. After all, the Russian army has also undergone a long training of German instructors. The combat effectiveness has been completely changed compared to the original one. Although Alexander II is not a soldier, he does not know anything about it.

"Your Majesty, our army's combat effectiveness has indeed improved a lot. But equally, the Chinese have made faster progress. While we were still stuck in the tactics of the last war, the Chinese have already launched new military changes. The Chinese have adopted a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and cooperated with the tactics of cars. Our defense line cannot resist them at all. The defense line built by hundreds of thousands of people is easily broken through by those Chinese. We have not dealt with the tactics related to the Chinese armored forces. We even have no relevant weapons and equipment." Marshal Wittgenstein seemed very disappointed. After all, this was a complete shame for Russia.

"What should we do? Are the Chinese armored troops already invincible? We can no longer stop their attack? If so, then what is the need to continue this war? Wouldn't it be better to surrender directly to the Chinese?" Alexander II was furious. In order to avenge his previous shame, Russia had been preparing for many years. However, in the end, he certainly could not accept this result.

"Your Majesty, if we want to deal with the Chinese armored troops, we can only let the Germans take action. The German army is also equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. If they take action, they may be able to resist the Chinese armored troops. After all, at present, the only ones that can deal with tanks are tanks." said Duke Gorchakov.

"Okay, that's the contact with the Germans, we need their help. If Russia is defeated, they won't have a good result." Alexander II said gritting his teeth. Although Russia and Germany were just using each other, for their own interests, they also had differences. For example, the Russians wanted to use the power of the Germans to defeat the Chinese and avenge their previous shame. But the Germans always wanted to use the Russians as cannon fodder to consume the strength of the Chinese Empire. So after the war began, the army entering Russia dragged on and dragged on. With the heavy casualties of the Russian army, they still could not enter the front line to fight. However, they were consistent in dealing with the Chinese Empire. This was also the fundamental reason why the two countries could form an alliance.

"Your Majesty. Our follow-up mobilization must also be accelerated. The Southern Legion lost almost all of its losses, and it can be foreseen that the Eastern Legion will also suffer a great loss. We need to provide enough troops to the front line to resist the Chinese attack. Otherwise, before the Germans entered the front line, we might have completely failed." Marshal Wittgenstein said.

"Okay. After the second batch of mobilization was completed, the third batch of mobilization was immediately started. For the future of Russia, we can only fight with the Chinese to the end." Alexander II said gritted his teeth. Now the total population of Russia is only 40 million. After the second batch of mobilization was completed, there were 4 million people. After the mobilization was completed, there were 6 million people. This is already the ultimate mobilization for Russia, which has a total population of only more than 40 million. This will not only allow all the strong Russians to join the army, but even the elderly and underage children need to join the army. It can be said that in order to defeat the Chinese, the Russians have bet on the future of the country and nation.

However, the wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. After the Battle of Volgograd, the 1st Army, the 4th Army, the 5th Army and the 1st Armored Army once again launched an attack on Russia in depth with armored forces. In the north of the Volga River, the 2nd Army, the 6th Army and the 2nd Armored Army were also launching a fierce attack on the eastern legion of the Russian army. It was just that because the Volga River was in the flood season, the Russians blew up the bridge. It was difficult to break through the Volga River at this time.

Although the armored troops suffered heavy losses in tanks and armored vehicles. However, when the Russian southern legion was destroyed, their remaining forces could still easily break through the Russian defense line and launch an attack on the depth of the Russian army.

The 1st Armored Army and several Armored Brigades once again became the pioneers of the entire army and attacked north along the Volga River. The Russian army's resistance was quite fragile. Even after the destruction of the southern legion, the Russian army urgently sent two armies southward to prepare to intercept the attack of the imperial army. However, their resistance was still too weak, and the imperial army could easily break through their defense line.

The armored troops easily tore open the Russian defense line and then continue to advance. Unless the tanks fail or the oil is used up, they will never stop easily. This makes the Imperial Army's daily advancement speed reach up to 40 or 50 kilometers. Infantry can no longer keep up with the attack speed of the armored troops by relying on their legs alone. Therefore, the generals on the front line can only try every means to increase the speed of the infantry. Trucks, cars, and cattle, horse and carriages collected in the war zone are all put into the great cause of transporting soldiers. This allows the Imperial Army's infantry to barely keep up with the progress of the armored troops.

The Imperial Army staged a large-scale rushing along the Volga River. The army easily tore open the Russian defense line as if it had entered a no-man's land. Then it launched an attack on the Russian Eastern Army and cooperated with the 2nd Army and the 6th Army to attack the Russian Army.

From Volgograd to Kamisin, and then to Saratov, it took only one week for the armored troops to break through most of the defense line of the Russian army. After the engineering team built the pontoon bridge, the 2nd Army and the 6th Army were able to enter west of the Volga River to attack the Russian army. In particular, the tanks of the 2nd Armored Army were undoubtedly a great supplement to the troops, making the armored troops of the Imperial Army even stronger.

Of course, the Russian army was defeated on the entire front. Their defense line was easily broken by the armored troops of the Imperial Army, and then the subsequent infantry surrounded and annihilated Russian troops with the assistance of the armored troops. Such tactics made the Russian army unable to resist at all.

After all, the Russian army does not have weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles, nor does it have anti-tank guns and other weapons. Faced with the fierce attack of the Imperial Army, they can only passively defend. After the defense line is broken by the Imperial Army, these Russian troops can often only escape. How can human legs be compared with the tracks of armored vehicles? The final result is that the Russian army in the runaway is intercepted, surrounded, and finally destroyed.

Of course, the Imperial Army has also suffered a lot of losses. This is mainly due to equipment losses. During the rapid advance, the Imperial Army's tanks and armored vehicles suffered huge losses due to mechanical failures. Although the rear was trying to find ways to supplement the armored troops, the speed of replenishment could not be compared with the speed of loss, so that the number of tanks and armored vehicles on the front line was getting smaller and smaller.

After the 2nd Army, the 6th Army and the 2nd Armored Army had crossed the Volga River, the Russian army's eastern army also retreated. In order to avoid the main force being destroyed by the Chinese army, the Russian army deployed in the north of the Volga River took the initiative to retreat. Before finding the tactics that can effectively fight against the Chinese army, the Russian army would obviously not engage in large-scale combat with the Chinese army. They seemed to have known that the advantage of force could no longer change the situation on the battlefield.

Similarly, the Imperial Army had to stop and rest. The long-term combat made the officers and soldiers very tired. All kinds of technical equipment also needed to be supplemented and maintained. This made the Imperial Army's military pioneers still sharp.

In Saratov, several armies and two armored troops of the Imperial Army stopped and began to rest here. The subsequent arrival of tanks and armored vehicles has led to the two armies and several armored brigades of the Imperial Army to restore combat power. At the same time, the arrival of reserve troops has restored the combat power of the various armies as before. (To be continued...)
