Kingdom of Libia, Benghazi, headquarters of the North African Front of the Russian Imperial Army.
“Your Excellency Commander, the intensity of the attacks of the anti-Russian alliance is constantly declining, which makes the casualties we inflicted on them also declining. If this continues, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue. Lieutenant General Malinovsky said.
Admiral Blyuchel nodded: “Caesars, Sibanese and Grapevines, with a weak will to fight and low combat effectiveness. It could not be attacked for a long time, plus there were heavy losses. Therefore, it is understandable that they naturally do not want to continue fighting. ”
“So what do we do next?” Lieutenant General Malinovsky asked.
He was well aware that Admiral Blyuchel hoped to win a major victory over the anti-Russian coalition in North Africa.
“Since the anti-Russian alliance does not take the initiative to attack, then it is better for us to take the initiative to attack. The 2nd Army of the Syrian Army and the 2nd Army of the Babylonian Army were ordered to rush to the front. At that time, we will gather 7 army groups and launch a full-line counterattack against the anti-Russian alliance, striving to defeat them in one fell swoop and take the entire Tumudis. After that, push west along the Mediterranean Sea until the Atlantic coast! Admiral Blyuchel ordered.
The anti-Russian alliance did not dare to attack, so it would be better to launch an offensive on the side of the Tsarist Empire. 353
Anyway, the main force of the counterattack was also the army of these servant countries of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
Previous battles have also proved that the fighting effectiveness of the troops of the anti-Russian coalition is not very good. Even, it can be said that it is very bad, even these servant states of the Tsarist Empire cannot compare.
Under such circumstances, what else is there to worry about on the part of the Tsarist Empire? Even the sorties of the armies of these servant countries would be enough to defeat Army Group North Africa, the anti-Russian alliance.
To ensure the success of this counterattack, the 17th Army followed. As soon as it encountered obstacles, let the 17th Army attack. Our headquarters is also moving to Tripoli! Admiral Blyuchel ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Lieutenant General Malinovsky answered.
“In addition, to contact the Air Force and Navy, our counterattack needs their strong support.” Admiral Blyuchel then ordered.
It is undoubtedly very important for the Air Force to launch a bombardment of the positions of the anti-Russian coalition to prepare the ground forces for a counterattack. And the naval artillery fire support is also very important.
North Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It can be said that most of the rest of the place, except for the coastal areas, is desert. The main area where the troops of the Anti-Russian League are concentrated, that is, along the coast. Most of the defensive lines were even within range of the large-caliber naval guns of the Imperial Russian Navy. Then, as soon as the Tsarist Imperial Navy dispatched capital ships, it carried out a fierce shelling of the defense line of the anti-Russian alliance. So, what the result of this will be, naturally you can imagine.
A fragile human body, even with the fortifications built, will definitely not be able to resist the Navy’s large-caliber naval guns.
The soldiers of the anti-Russian alliance, there were only two results, either torn to shreds by the fire of terrifying naval guns. Or run south and flee all the way to the desert. But there is no water in the desert, and at the same time it is very easy to get lost. Once inside, it means nine deaths.
But this was something they were very happy to see for the Russian Empire.
For the enemies of the empire, it is better to take them all out. Whether you are killed on the battlefield or die of thirst in the desert.
The Russian Empire valued only the result and did not care about the process!
Little by little, the preparations for the counterattack of the Russian Empire were also advancing smoothly.
The 2nd Army of the Syrian Army and the 2nd Army of the Babylonian Army embarked in the Pharaonic Nation and were escorted by the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy, arriving in Tripoli. After disembarking there, rush to the battlefield.
At the same time, the 17th Army of the Imperial Russian Army was also advancing westward along the coastline.
The Imperial Russian Air Force (ADFB), for its part, is also mobilizing a large number of fighters to provide strong air support for the next battle.
The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy also mobilized a number of warships. These warships are capital ships with large-caliber main guns. In this day and age, these capital ships, although they have been replaced by aircraft carriers, are no longer the main force of naval warfare. However, it is still very good for striking targets on land. The power of large-caliber naval guns is already quite powerful.
On November 23, 1840, the troops prepared by the North African Front of the Russian Imperial Army had arrived at the front.
The 1st Army of the Kingdom of Libia, the 5th Army of the Pharaonic State, the 6th Army, the 7th Army and the 8th Army, as well as the 2nd Army of Syria and the 2nd Army of Babylon, made a total of 7 armies.
In addition, the 17th Army of the Tsarist Imperial Army served as a reserve for this operation.
It can be said that the side of the Tsarist Empire was well prepared.
And Army Group North Africa, the anti-Russian alliance, has already paid a lot of losses after two weeks of fighting. This makes their attacks less and less powerful. By now, it has gradually abandoned the offensive and turned to the defense.
This also made the top officials of the North African Army Group of the anti-Russian alliance very dissatisfied with this. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
But the officers and soldiers at the bottom don’t want to send them to death anymore, and they can’t help it! They can’t force these soldiers to die with guns, can they? Wouldn’t that cause a mutiny? At that time, it will be even more difficult to end.
On the morning of November 23, General Blyuchel, commander of the North African Front of the Russian Imperial Army, gave the order to counterattack on all fronts.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Seven army groups at the front, more than 7,000 howitzers and field guns, began to fire fiercely at the defense lines of Army Group North Africa of the anti-Russian alliance.
One shell after another, like raindrops, fell fiercely on the hastily built defensive line of Army Group North Africa. Because of the lack of materials, only local materials can be used. The defensive lines of Army Group North Africa were mostly accumulated with sand, and better ones, made of sandbags. Such a defensive line, in the face of intensive artillery fire, simply could not resist.
In the sky, the Imperial Russian Air Force dispatched a large number of MiG-36 fighters, covering dive bombers and medium bombers, and fiercely bombed the defense line of the North African Army Group of the anti-Russian alliance.
On the sea, the capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy are also carrying out fierce shelling with large-caliber naval guns. This dealt a great blow to Army Group North Africa.
