Yang Qiu persuaded the Liwof government that Russia chose to continue to participate in the war.

The news came to the boiling of the agreement, and the continuous Chinese expeditionary force began to trek along the railway line. The good luck on the eastern line seemed to be taken to the western line. The wind and rain that had been spread for several days finally dissipated. The bright sunshine dispelled the cold, the earth began to dry up, and the nearly paralyzed logistics and supplies finally recovered initially. A team of soldiers entered the attack trenches with steel guns in their hands and waited for orders. The temporary peace of the Eastern line means that the German army will not be able to obtain supplies at least in the short term. The Allied forces with obvious numerical advantages have gained theoretical advantages. Therefore, Nivelle and Manran both firmly believed that the defense line in front of them was window paper, so they decisively ended the tentative order to make a full-scale attack.

At the same time, the British army that was auxiliary attacking also attacked Aras according to the plan. The British army under Heg personally commanded also used cannons to open the way. More than 2,800 light cannons and 1,000 heavy cannons roared and roared, explosions and flames were continuous, and the rain of bullets was stacked and dense. British and French pilots risked their risk to provide reconnaissance coordinates for the artillery. Under their guidance, the barbed wire on the Aras defense line was blown up, the buildings were blown away, and the dozens of meters high mushroom clouds brought by heavy shells could be seen everywhere.

Under the tactical cover of Xu Jin, the British 3rd Army and the Canadian Legion launched a fierce attack on Laas under the leadership of 60 tanks. Compared with the French army with low morale, the British army, which was not a traditional army power, performed very tenaciously and broke through the first line of defense in just three days. However, their good luck gradually disappeared after Rudendorf invested three elite divisions. Faced with the fire net built by Maxim heavy machine guns and cannons, the Vimi Mountains behind the first line of defense became the tomb of the British army. After the 7-day attack, the British army finally pushed the front forward for 6 kilometers at the cost of 100,000 deaths, seized 330 cannons, killed 57,000 Germans and captured 20,000.

If the war ended here only, it would be a war that could barely be considered a draw, but Mangran, who was personally in Suisson, obviously did not learn from his lessons. He contemptuously believed that the results of the Aras were caused by the poor combat effectiveness of the British army. The French army with three armies would never have such a mistake. So he immediately issued a full-scale attack order after talking on the phone with Nivelle. On April 19, the second day after the new Russian government decided to continue the war, the French artillery cluster, which had increased to 6,000, began to throw shells at the target, and 11 million shells extended to advance at a speed of 100 meters every three minutes. The 300,000 infantry of the 5th and 6th French squadrons rushed towards the enemy with the confidence established by the Battle of Verdun.

However, Mangran forgot that the opponent in front of him was no longer the Manniu Falkinhan, but the tactical master Ludendorf who successfully established prestige on the Eastern Front. Faced with the French bombing, Ludendorf ordered the front-line troops to retreat immediately, leaving only the machine guns to hide in the solid cover to support him. When the French army saw that the opponent's firepower was weakened and he thought he could break through easily, the heavy machine gun hidden very deep suddenly released powerful power! The rain of bullets intertwined into a terrible metal storm, so that the unprepared front French infantry even continued to charge after being swept. The organizational chaos finally led to a huge tragedy. After the French army's charge was defeated, 22 German elite reserve divisions began to enter the battlefield in turn, smashing wave after wave of French peaks!

From the general attack on the 19th to the 23rd, 100,000 French veterans who had experienced the bloody battle of Verdun meat grinders were all left in front of the Ziegfeld's defense line! The terrible number of casualties finally made the already exhausted French army lose confidence. Many troops would rather hide in the trenches than charge after being driven to the front line by officers. This scene made Nivelle furious and continued to attack despite the death and injury.

Because the main attack point cannot be opened, Mangran puts his hope on the third and fourth armies of the French wings. Under strict orders and blockades, the two armies, who were unable to know the casualties of the main breakthrough point, also sang songs and arranged in neatly scattered lines to rush towards the enemy. As a result, the third armies were torn apart by a dense firepower net composed of Maxim and 128 A7V tanks after rushing two kilometers, and paid the price of 30,000 deaths within two days! The Fourth Army was also hit by a crazy blow. The German First Army organized all artillery fire and 170 tanks to join the blockade. Although the Fourth Army barely occupied a position less than three kilometers south of Moronvilier, it paid a terrible casualties of 25,000 for it, and finally stopped breaking through and cancelled all offensive plans.

"Damn it! This is not a war? It's a massacre!" In the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force of Lance, Ke Shao, who was in a hot temper, slapped the battle report on the table: "Ten days, 150,000 French troops died in ten days! God, these are 150,000 elite veterans who participated in Verdun! At least 300,000 were injured if they died. If this continues, France will be crippled!"

His roar made the atmosphere in the headquarters solemn. Although the French army died, they were allies after all. It would be unpleasant if the French army collapsed, so everyone was in a serious mood after the casualties appeared. "Chief of Staff! Give an order. My 201st Division dare not say that it is better than the French army, but at least it will not be as cowardly as them!"

"Yes! The German army will definitely feel very uncomfortable these days. Our new force will definitely be able to open up the situation."

"I'll take the lead and ensure that I'll complete the task of breaking through the defense line!"

Zhang Xiaojun, who stayed at the headquarters, was also shocked by the series of casualties, so that his hands holding the report were trembling slightly, but he was unsure of whether to attack. He picked up the phone under the anticipated gaze of everyone and wanted to contact Yue Peng, who was hesitating for a moment, but he slowly let it go: "Wait a minute... All troops will continue to be on guard against leaving the station before the commander and General Cai return!"

When Zhang Xiaojun put down the phone and asked to order the troops to continue waiting, Mangran, who had a gray face, also slowly lowered the phone. Everyone in the French front command was waiting, watching him, should he continue to attack? Or... The answer came out in a moment, Mangran barely stood up straight and walked to the sand table: "Order the 10th Army to reinforce the Fifth Army and continue to attack Mount Xiemandaidamo!"

"What!"

"God!"

"No! This will kill the soldiers."

As soon as Mangran said the latest order, several soldiers could not help but jump out again. But the former shook his head ruthlessly: "This is the order of Commander-in-Chief Nivelle! Either attack or shoot those timid soldiers!"

"The original plan must be ended!"

Just as everyone was dissatisfied with Mangran's use of Nivelle and military orders to suppress them, a voice finally couldn't help but burst out from behind. Everyone turned their heads and looked at them. Yue Peng, who had said nothing since the attack, shook away Cai E who was trying to pull him, and pushed away the crowd with a cold face and walked to Mangran. Although he was half a head shorter than Mangran, he still looked at his eyes without showing any weakness and said coldly: "The attack on Qi Gefei should be stopped immediately.

!The British army is trapped south of the Vimee Mountains and cannot advance. The Third Army on both wings is bleeding in front of Saint-Kontan. The Fourth Army is also blocked in Moronville and cannot continue to advance. Judging from the situation, we can no longer obtain the initial goal in this battle! What can we do if the main cluster breaks through? What after crossing the Mount Shemandaidamo? Without the restraint of the two wings, we will face the siege of the superior forces to pursue and block, and become an isolated army! A lonely army!"

Yue Peng said as he moved his fingers quickly on the sand table. After the translator was sweating in cold sweat, he continued to say to the French officers around him: "The deadlock has been formed! The only way to break it is to make the British army pretend to be defeated, and then withdraw some troops from the Third Army to support it. At the same time, open the Sixth Army defense line and pretend to retreat to Royes in a big stance! Now the German army has 25 divisions on the front line. As long as he can find a way to make the German 7th Army mistakenly think that there is a big gap in the junction of our Sixth Army and the Third Army, he can make the attack as he likes. The 10th Army and our expeditionary force quickly penetrate westward to the front of Royes. As long as he can induce him to come out of the trenches and lengthen the attack formation, we can easily cut off and eat the German army, thereby greatly weakening the garrison of the Siegfee defense line."

"Impossible!" Before Yue Peng's translation was finished, Mangran jumped up. After all, he was a senior officer and saw through Yue Peng's move at a glance. He wanted to use Paris 40 miles away from Roe as bait. He said furiously: "This is impossible! You are using Paris. Use our capital to take risks! General Nivelle will never do this, and every Frenchman will not accept this adventure! You must continue to attack, consume the German forces with superior forces, just like Verdun, and let them sleep day and night exhaustion. As long as we can break through the enemy's strongest defense line. The weak side will retreat without fighting. If you advance to Ilsson, the front line will be completely pushed to the border between our country and Belgium, and the war will be over!"

"Verdon's a big deal! Of course it can be persisted in urban warfare, but now it's all the fields, the field battles in the suburbs!" Yue Peng was so angry that he cursed in his heart, but he suddenly realized a problem. Why did he know that it was wrong to choose a strong breakthrough in Nivelle's plan, but there was still no voice within the French army? Now he realized that their thinking was completely imprisoned! It's not that the French army is not elite, nor that it's that they can't fight, but that they are used to breaking through the Western Front battlefield - roundabout-tree confrontation - trench confrontation - and if they break through this meat grinder-style fighting style, they won't think about anything beyond this category, let alone implement it! Although the cost of choosing a strong breakthrough is terrible, as long as they can break through the past, it is victory, and dying in many soldiers is also victory!

Sadly... When victory requires soldiers to fill it with their lives, I can only say how incompetent the commanders of this army are! After the two had a fierce quarrel, Yue Peng even directly refused to execute the order of Mangran to transfer the Expeditionary Force to Lance to fill out the meat grinder of the Zigefee defense line! Mangran was so angry that he pulled out his pistol: "You are disobeying the order, and I have the right to execute you!"

"If you are not afraid of causing a riot among the 400,000 soldiers, you can try it! Also, I suggest you report the number of casualties immediately, and then see who else is willing to fight such a bad battle." Since he had completely turned aside, Yue Peng also simply threw down his harsh words, without looking at the face, his face turned blue and red, and he walked outward. But when he walked to the door, he still sighed deeply.

Cai E, who had been in the car and quit smoking for a long time, handed over a cigarette. After the two of them lit it together, Yue Peng opened his mouth and showed a bitter smile at him: "I'm not willing!"

"I'm not willing to give up! But we have to wait... The opportunity has not yet appeared, and now it's a stagnant pool of water to rush over!" Cai E looked at Yue Peng's eyes, and the latter nodded but punched the car steel plate with a fierce punch. Will this damn opportunity still appear?!
