    The Volga River is the largest river in Europe and the mother river of Russians.  The fertile Volga River Basin nourishes the Russians!  Before the war began, people living in the Volga River Basin accounted for half of Russia's total population!  However, after the last world war, China forced Russia to cede the territory south of the Kama River and east of the Volga River to China!  The Russians who originally lived here were forcibly relocated!  Countless Russians have left their homes and their homeland, making these Russians always hate China!

    Because this new territory is too close to the front line.  The relationship between China and European countries, especially the Holy Alliance countries, is very tense.  So China immigrated two million people to new territories in Europe.  Originally, with the fertility of this land, it would be no problem to immigrate another five to ten million people!  However, once the war starts, the people who move here will be greatly affected.  Once the Chinese army is frustrated on the battlefield, they will be completely destroyed!  Therefore, the Chinese government is very conservative when it comes to immigration in this new territory!  However, once the Chinese army wins this war, China will definitely migrate to these fertile territories on a large scale again!

    Czar Nicholas II was looking forward to this war very much!  In the past thirty years, Russia has suffered a lot at the hands of China!  The original Russia was a country spanning Asia and Europe, with the largest territory in the world!  But after a series of wars, Russia has been greatly weakened, losing almost 80% of its territory, turning Russia from a world power to a second-rate country!  Nicholas II stopped thinking about revenge all the time!  Now Russia can be said to be desperate. If it can defeat China, then Russia may still rise again.  If they cannot defeat China, they will slowly perish sooner or later!

    Therefore, when Germany promised to provide weapons, Tsar Nicholas II did not hesitate to make a commitment to expand the army to eight million.  And Russia's current total population is only over 80 million!  It can be said that Nicholas II invested all his capital!  If it fails, Russia will never have a chance again!  but.  At the beginning of the war, Russia also tasted a little sweetness!  When Dejun invaded the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian army also took the opportunity to send troops into the territories occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire had fallen apart and was unable to counterattack Russia in time, this allowed Russia to successfully regain these territories!  Spurred by this, Tsar Nicholas II strongly demanded an early attack on China.  So that we can regain those territories occupied by China as soon as possible.  Although it is still a cold winter, the Russians and Germans are much more cold-resistant than the Chinese!  In addition, there is another decisive factor in launching a counterattack during this period, that is, the Volga River is still in the ice age at this time, with an ice layer more than one meter thick.  Not only can people pass through it, but even tanks weighing dozens of tons can pass through the ice without any hindrance!  Once the river thaws, just crossing the rough Volga River will be a headache for the German and Russian troops, not to mention the continuous fortifications of the Chinese Army on the east bank of the river!

    The ice age of the Volga River is relatively long. The ice age in the upper reaches begins at the end of November and lasts until early or mid-April of the following year!  The ice age in the lower reaches lasts from December to mid-March!  This period of time is the best time for the German and Russian forces to launch a large-scale counterattack, if it is missed.  I¡¯m afraid we have to wait until the end of the year!  Moreover, the Chinese will definitely be ready by then.  At that time, many German and Russian forces attacked, but they had to find ways to deal with the Chinese army's attack!  Offense and defense will be completely interchanged!

    Before the war broke out, the Chinese Army deployed only one group army on the Volga River defense line, and that was the 21st Group Army.  After the war broke out, the 12th Army and the 15th Army quickly arrived to strengthen the defense line!  There are also two armies.  Then stay along the Ural River and serve as a reserve force!  The important factor that troubles China in sending troops to Europe is mainly transportation problems!  Two railways simply cannot meet the consumption of millions of troops.  Especially when a fierce battle breaks out, the consumption will be even faster!  Coupled with the sudden outbreak of the war this time, China can be regarded as being caught off guard!  Therefore, China currently needs time to transport troops and war materials to the front line.  Until then, all we can do is defend!  Only when everything is ready can we start to fight back!  However, by that time, it is estimated that it will not be long before Germany and the Holy Alliance are completely defeated!

    In order to launch an offensive along the Volga River, the German side assembled an army of 1.5 million, including ten armored divisions.  In addition, the German army also possesses tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers, plus thousands of aircraft.With this action, Germany has made a huge investment!  The Russian Army also assembled three million troops!  However, these Russian armies are only equipped with light weapons, and there are very few heavy machine guns, let alone heavy artillery!  Russia's industrial strength itself is very weak. After a series of blows, its industrial strength is even worse than that of second-rate European countries!  If Germany had not provided Russia with a large number of weapons, Russia would not have the ability to form such a large army!  Of course, this is much better than the last world war!  Although the weapons provided by the German army are not many, they can still do it with one rifle!  It won't be like last time, two people share a rifle. After the comrade is killed, the other soldier will pick up the gun and continue fighting!

    The Russians are tall, hard-working and have always been very good soldiers!  If Russia's weak industrial strength had not limited its progress, they might have become the overlord of Europe many years ago!

    It¡¯s the morning of February 14th, the day of ¡°qingren¡± festival!  Field Marshal Hindenburg, the German frontline commander, issued the order to attack!

    In fact, the war had already begun before Marshal Hindenburg gave the order to attack!  The German Air Force and Army Air Force fighter planes have already taken off and are flying east of the Volga River!  They want to sneak attack the airports of the Chinese Air Force and the Chinese Army Air Force so that they can have an advantage at the beginning of the battle!  However, this time the actions of the Luftwaffe and Army Aviation failed!  Because of the lessons learned from the past, the Chinese Air Force and Army Air Force are very cautious.  When the sky was just slightly light, the Chinese Air Force fighter jets had already taken off. These fighter jets crossed the Volga River and entered the Russian-controlled area for reconnaissance!  Although this counts as a violation of Russia's volley, the Chinese Air Force has been doing this for some time!  At the same time, several large radars deployed by the Chinese Air Force along the Volga River were also turned on!  Because the quality of the electronic tubes was not up to standard, engineers could only increase the radar's detection range by enlarging the size!  When the German Air Force and Army Aviation aircraft were still more than fifty kilometers away from the Volga River, the Chinese Air Force's radar had already discovered their traces!

    After the airport in the rear received the alert, the fighter jets that had been prepared began to take off one after another and flew to the west, preparing to meet the German Air Force and Army Air Force fighters.  After all the fighters have taken off, the bombers start to take off!  These bombers also carried full bombs, and their targets were clearly the German airports!  After investigation some time ago, China has also initially grasped the specific location of the German airport!  As long as their airport is destroyed, the power of these fighters against the Volga River defense line will be greatly reduced!

    The air battle between the two sides started at 7:30 in the morning on February 14th, located along the western bank of the Volga River!  The F11 Vulture fighter jets of three wings of the Chinese Air Force and the two wings of the Army Air Force are completely ravaging the fighter jets of the German Air Force and Army Air Force!  The Hurricane IV fighter jets of the German Air Force and Army Air Force had no way to fight back against the F11 Vulture fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and Army Air Force.  After driving away the German fighter jets, the Chinese fighter jets began to attack the German J1 bombers.  Although these J1 bombers also carry self-defense weapons, the bombers are huge and carry a large number of bombs. They cannot be compared with the light fighters. Germans are constantly fighting or bombers are shot down, leaving the Germans on the ground  The failure and the Russian soldiers were horrified to see it!

    The sneak attack by the German Air Force and Army Aviation ended in failure at the earliest. More than two hundred fighter jets and hundreds of bombers were shot down!  Moreover, bombers of the Chinese Air Force and Army Aviation also blew up German airports, forcing these surviving German fighters to land at more remote airports!

    Unable to gain air superiority, the Germans still launched an attack!  Millions of German and Russian troops launched a fierce attack on thousands of kilometers of defense lines!  In this attack, the German army directly invested 6 armored divisions.  Accompanied by the rumbling motors of tanks and armored vehicles, countless German and Russian soldiers began to attack the Chinese Army defense positions on the east bank of the Volga River!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The cannons on both sides were firing fiercely. Although the Germans had more cannons, the Chinese side had air force support, so they were not afraid of the Germans at all!  The German-Russian coalition forces attempting to cross the Volga River were attacked by dive bombers and attack aircraft of the Chinese Army earlier, resulting in heavy losses!
