"Your Highness, our progress is pretty good, but their new defense line has caused us a lot of casualties, and the casualties during infantry attacks are 10% more than usual! I really don't know which French bastard came up with something."

Prince William in the war room was in a good mood, especially now that the attack on the front line was not smooth. But overall, he had already broken through the first line of defense of the French army, and although the breakthrough was a little narrower.

Hearing the Chief of Staff complaining after seeing the number of casualties, he smiled slightly, knowing that his military intelligence department did not know much about the new French front. The Chief of Staff, who led the German front-line intelligence department, did not know who these fronts that caused huge casualties to the German army came from, which made his troublesome and ridiculous problems arose.

"Well, my Chief of Staff, don't you really know that those things are not from the hands of French bastards. As far as I know, those things are from the hands of an American bastard who has reached here from the far east!"

General Steiner was surprised that it was impossible for the reconnaissance forces on the German front to know about this situation. Even because the French army almost completely lived in these bunker groups with underground passages, it was almost impossible to catch a prisoner when they started a war.

"Is this really the case? Did that Satan Eagle come up with?"

Prince William seemed to have no mind about what his chief of staff mentioned, the guy who had held and blackmailed him. However, according to the information from the Imperial Intelligence Department, sooner or later, the German army would have these things. As for now, the remaining question is how to prevent the French army from continuing to own them.

"Yes, yes, my Chief of Staff, was the bastard who came up with it!"

Prince William's thought seemed to be interrupted by General Stey's repeated exclaims, which made him a little impatient.

"So, this time we have to give a heavy blow to that bastard. Only in this way can we keep the war and finally get what we want!"

General Steiner finally realized that something was wrong with his focus. He stopped thinking about this matter and returned to the situation in front of him.

"Look, our progress is slow, and what kind of battle we are fighting! Our soldiers must get into the ground, where we are facing the light machine guns of French soldiers!"

Prince William's hazel eyebrows were squeezed together. Although the battle situation in front of him was not achieved with the almost uninterrupted support of heavy artillery and the air, what kind of battle were the front-line infantry facing?

"Rat War, the infantry on the front line all call this rat War!"

Steiner said, which was a conclusion based on the report of low-level officers on the front line. After all, it is unrealistic to use cannons to completely destroy these underground cement steel passages. Even if the shells in Germany are shot out, it cannot be done.

Therefore, the soldiers had to penetrate into the dark and dangerous underground, where the French soldiers shot bullets from the darkness, flamethrowers, and hand-thrown grenades. As the first front resistance hub, the Fort Duomont behind them, a batch of French soldiers who supplemented the consumption of the front line, came to the front line along the entire underground passage.

Often, German soldiers captured a bunker group and had just moved forward to take the next move, but soon afterwards, French infantry activities appeared again, which caused a lot of trouble for the German infantry.

"So, our combat goals this time must be achieved!"

Prince William shook his head and stopped General Steehn from continuing to talk about the frustrating news, and then he made his own conclusions. General Steehn also concluded from the reports of the frontline infantry.

"Yes, we must achieve this combat goal, and only in this way can we end this terrible nightmare as soon as possible."

That's right, the main force of the German army, the infantry of ten divisions, will be divided into two waves toward Nancy City according to the combat plan, and launch a continuous assault with a narrow assault surface. The purpose of the Verdun area to achieve a decisive breakthrough has become a battle with the main goal of eliminating the production base of the Mike Prince Merlin Military Industry Group.

Therefore, the French army launched the most "unexpected" attack from the French army's weak defense line. This not only allowed the French army to be attacked by surprise, but also completely destroyed the increasingly large military industry in Nancy City, but also was one of the means to fundamentally weaken the French army.

In addition, the advantage of attacking Nancy City is that after winning, the German army can encircle the French army in the Verdun area from the side. If possible, the goal of the Verdun Battle can still be achieved.

"So, we have to attack quickly..."

This is the order of the German Verdun Front Command to launch the Nancy offensive. Among the ten divisions, there are three cavalry divisions that can move quickly. When the infantry breaks through the current French front line, they will launch a fast attack. In addition, Prince William also mobilized up to one hundred wheeled armored vehicles equipped with machine guns as the spearhead of the cavalry.

This is the countermeasure that the Germans came up with after suffering from French armored vehicles during the last battle.

As a command was transmitted to the German command that had been hidden and moved to the front line of Nancy City, the battle started. And when the attack was launched, the German soldiers were very brave, because the commander said it when conveying the order.

"Your Highness the Prince is very confident in you during this attack. He believes that when he arrives the day after tomorrow, you will definitely be able to break through the enemy's defense line and take straight to Nancy City!"

As mentioned earlier, in 1915, Prince William led his Fifth Army to attack this direction. Unfortunately, the French army was equipped with a powerful artillery team here, and a burst of artillery fire made Prince William understand that things here were not so easy to handle.

When the Germans attacked here again this time, the situation was much better than that time. Due to the change in the defense focus this year, more large-caliber artillery were moved to Verdun, and more field artillery main 75mm cannons were sent to Nancy City for self-transformation. Unfortunately, after the transformation, they became the equipment of the French army that Xia Fei intended to gain an advantage in the direction of the Somme.

Just yesterday, in the Nancy garrison, three French infantry divisions were also transferred from this war zone to the Verdun for the fortification area. Looking at the battlefield where Verdun was splashing with flesh and blood, it seemed that everyone believed that there would be no decent battle here.

Therefore, the French army here is quite lax, and even because it is irrelevant, there are only field fortifications, and even the "fast front" produced in large quantities in Nancy City is not used in large quantities.
