Can the tunnel be protected from flamethrowers?
Actually it is possible.

For example, in tunnel warfare, the military and civilians in Jizhong have used their wisdom to achieve results.

Not to mention flamethrowers, even poisonous smoke can be prevented.

But everything should be done step by step, and the Bukhara people have never seen a flamethrower, so naturally there will be no corresponding arrangements when building the tunnel.

Even if they have seen it now, they can't do it overnight if they want to understand the principle and come up with corresponding methods.

Will the Wehrmacht give them such a chance?
Obviously not.

Three days later, the Dragon Cavalry Regiment of the Fourth Cavalry Division attacked the Amu Darya, and the No. 20 Sixth Regiment of the Seventh Division attacked the Zeravjan River.

The two natural barriers outside Samarkand were all lost.

The four trench defense lines built by the Bukhara people have also fallen.

Standing on the head of the city of Samarkand, you can already look at the Wehrmacht in the trenches.

But the Bukhara people in the city had nothing to do.

It's not that they didn't try to regain the trenches, but every time they rushed out of the city, they were all beaten badly.

Even if they stood at the top of the city and looked down, they couldn't suppress the National Defense Forces.

Even if you shoot high from low, the muskets of the National Defense Forces are far and accurate, which is not comparable to the bows and arrows of the Bukhara people.

As for other long-range weapons, such as trebuchets, artillery, etc., the Bukharas encountered the difficulties encountered by the National Defense Forces before.

These weapons are used to fight trenches, and they are purely cannons to fight mosquitoes.

Abdulmat was desperate.

He deeply understands that the day when the city will be broken is not far away.

"Where are the reinforcements? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Reinforcements will not come.

The iron gate was tightly blocked by the National Defense Forces, and not a single fly could fly in.

Imam Kuri sent a large army from Bukhara, but in Katakurgan, just west of Samarkand, he was swept away by the Fourth Cavalry Division, and less than [-]% of the remnants fled back.

Not only failed to rescue Samarkand, but also affected the subsequent defense of Bukhara.

Huang Sanhu, Zuo Xuanyan and others walked to the front, looking at Samarkand surrounded by gunpowder smoke, they were all relaxed and happy.

"When Genghis Khan marched west, he showed great perseverance under this fortified city, and finally completed the breach, and left a great reputation in the Western Regions and the current situation. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and our troops are stronger. Weapons It's even more powerful, and we can't let our ancestors be better than the former."

Zuo Xuanyan hurriedly said: "The subordinates have already mobilized the heavy artillery, and the next siege is expected to take up to three days."

Everyone knows that the most difficult thing to fight in Samarkand is actually the cobweb-like trenches outside the city.

Once these trenches are taken, the remaining cities are actually just pockets.

In this era, no city can resist the attack of the National Defense Forces only by its walls and buildings.

San Francisco.

The once barren land is now extremely prosperous.

Reinforced concrete buildings stand everywhere in the wantonly built harbor, showing the civilization of mankind.

But even in such a prosperous place, people can't help but marvel at the huge new fleet.

At the line between the water and the sky, thousands of sailboats of various types covered the ocean and entered the port one after another.

"Wake up, don't sleep, you're in the right place!"

The impatient yells of the crew were shrill, but effective, as they flitted about the cabin.

The exhausted soldiers of the National Defense Forces struggled to get up one after another, while sighing.

"Oh my goodness, it's finally here."

"I thought I was going to die at sea."

"Damn it, it's not that far for Tang Monk to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, right?"

On the deck, Wu Zhikui and the others were also pale and crumbling.

Anyone who has been on a boat for nearly three months will probably not be much better off.

This is still under the condition of making complete preparations, otherwise, it will not only be uncomfortable, but also heavy casualties may occur.

"Phew, if you didn't go through this journey, you would never have imagined that the empire's territory is so vast."

"In the past, every time I read about the magnificence of the Han, Tang and Yuan dynasties, it was heartbreaking. Now I know that the most glorious people are actually ourselves."

Hou Fanglai was also suddenly full of pride.

In accordance with the order of the High Command, the No.12 Division moved to North America with the help of the Beiyang Fleet after a short rest after the end of the Battle of Japan.

If the empire wants to attack Spain, the most important thing is the New World.

Relying on the original strength here alone, it has always been a little worse.Only by mobilizing a main force to come over can we have full confidence.

On the pier, Yang Yunsheng, Fu Xinyuan and others were already looking forward to it.

It was a joy to meet each other.

"With the reinforcements of your No.12 Division, it is guaranteed that the Spaniards will be able to spit out all the occupied land."

During this period of time, Fu Xinyuan and the others were not idle, and they had already found out the situation of the Governor General of New Spain in Spain.

But the more they learned, the angrier they became.

Why is such a fertile and rich place occupied by weak chickens like Spain?

In the vast areas of North America, the struggle between the empire and the Spaniards had already begun.

Although their strength is not very sufficient, they have an advantage that the Spaniards do not have.

The empire got help from the Indians.

The Spanish colonization of the New World actually slaughtered many Indians.The situation between the two parties is already at the same level, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

Although the empire pays attention to development, it will not carry out massacres and plunder, but will provide various assistance to the natives.

Who is good and who is bad, although the Indians are simple, they can tell the difference.

Faced with strong pressure from the Spaniards, they naturally fell to the empire.

Under the influence of the empire, the Indians are rapidly integrating into the civilized society, and both ideology and production have made great progress.

The sufficient Indian population also greatly enriched the empire's military strength in North America.

Now that the No.12 Division has also arrived, the Empire has completely overwhelmed the Spaniards in terms of military power.

"At present, we have occupied the north of the Arkansas River, preventing the expansion of the Spaniards. Inland, we need to hand over to your No.12 Division."

The territory of North America is too vast. Even though the empire has mobilized a large number of Indians, it is still difficult to cover everything.

Especially if you want to go to war with Spain, you need to advance by water.

There is a Beiyang Fleet in the coastal area, so there is no need to worry.Only the vast inland areas, once there is no strong military force, are likely to be exploited by the Spaniards.

If Zuo Menggeng was here, he would find that many place names are actually similar to those of later generations.

This is because after the European colonists came here, they also adopted the local native language when naming.

The Arkansas River is still called the Arkansas River. The place where the empire now confronts Spain is Kansas for later generations.

At present, the Wehrmacht in that direction is still exploring north and east while fighting Spain.

The furthest expedition has reached the Mississippi River Basin.

Before long they might be able to make contact with the Dutch.
