Since the first night attack on Chenjiaao after the army was established, night attack tactics have become a combat skill that all units of the National Defense Forces must master, but no one would have thought that one day, high-level officers would wish that day would last for several days and nights.

Each side that surrounds the triangle area is about 70 kilometers long. It is impossible to spread 20 divisions in the daytime. The only way to delay the opponent's real intention is to rely on night cover. According to the speed of infantry movement, starting from the 103 and 202 divisions, which were the farthest circle at noon yesterday, the travel speed of 5 kilometers per hour is 90 kilometers. Including the 40 kilometers that require more detours, that is, if it goes well, the two divisions can complete the detour with the 88th Brigade in the afternoon.

Interspersed behind the German First Army. But the problem is that the current radio technology is not mature, and the phone is completely paralyzed under the destruction of the German army. The air force cannot take off, and the cavalry cannot travel smoothly at night. You must know that it is impossible for them to get there, let alone control the combat situation in three directions at the same time! Therefore, night combat depends largely on the officers of each brigade group to organize themselves. But for the general command center dozens of miles behind, the work at night is almost paralyzed.

These were only two infantry divisions. According to the plan, there were 5 divisions behind them who would advance along the road opened by the armored brigade, and finally, like pulling a carrot and showing a pit, spreading all the way through the brigade as a unit until a large encirclement was formed. This kind of encirclement tactic is not surprising in normal exercises, but now... no one knows whether the divisions and brigades have arrived at the predetermined position. And this is just an encirclement force. Did Reneevel's German First Army go south? It is not realistic to quickly destroy an army without leaving the city! Have Zhang Xiaojun's main divisions completed the frontier development of Reneevel's frontier? Where should the last three reserve divisions in his hand betrayal? Even the idea of ​​whether the French locals along the way would be repressed and reported.

The pressure is too great! It is impossible to control the 14 divisions in the movement without making any mistakes. Everyone was even prepared to be knocked out by the enemy last night!

So Bai Chongxi felt that it was a mistake to enter the current Expeditionary Force combat staff room. Not only did he walk into a room where he had just been thrown into a smoke bomb, but he looked all over his eyes full of red and smoking. Everyone now had no idea of ​​hierarchy. The intern officer and the major general squeezed together, and the colonel staff and guards stared at each other. As for his friend Li Zongren simply put a foot on the stool, took off his socks and rubbed his feet with his fingers.

Remember this guy hasn't washed his feet for seven or eight days? Fortunately, he didn't have breakfast.

His appearance immediately caused a commotion, and countless blood-red eyes with excitement and worry in their fatigue were staring at his face at the same time, which clearly stated, "If you don't bring up some news, you will be in trouble." Fortunately, he had just received the telegram. So he immediately ran to Yue Peng in the corner: "Report, telegram from Qiu Wenbin and Brigadier General Zhang Xiao! General Qiu Wenbin reported that the 88th Brigade, 103rd Division and 202nd Division had arrived at the Wujiye to blow up the bridge, and are currently running along the Ainai River to Atini 15 kilometers away! Brigadier General Zhang Xiao also reported that his main force had arrived in the Charlotte Valley ten kilometers south of Reneeville at 4 o'clock this morning, and the troops are currently ongoing! According to investigation, five German division numbers have been found to be approaching. There is also a cavalry division, which is expected to be taken over in 2 hours at the latest."

“5!”

Before Yue Peng could make a sound, Cai E, who was wearing a cotton coat in the next room because of his poor health, kicked out of the door. After reading the telegram, he excitedly threw off his cotton jacket and shouted like a child: "It's done! It's done! Haha..."

It's indeed done!

The Avila Valley was caught off guard by a rapid breakthrough. After clearly receiving support from 7 divisions from the right wing and behind him, the German First Army went south from Reneeville last night to try to block the gap. Although there were 2 divisions behind, it was no longer harmful. There were 11 divisions in total, and 2 were crippled during the breakthrough. Two confronted the French Fourth Army in Moronville, and five of them came out of Reneeville to arrive in the Charlotte Valley. In the end, the last two could not stop the interlude overnight, and the 88th Armored Brigade that suddenly came down from behind and the 103rd and 202nd Divisions following behind.

Li Zongren was the fastest move, and he completed the map operation in the blink of an eye. From the perspective of the expeditionary force, the joint of the German Third Army defense zone on the left side of the bottom of the triangle encirclement had been blocked by Su Xiaohu and five light infantry divisions. The right wing deployed 5 divisions during the rapid advance last night, which was equivalent to pushing five heart-piercing arrows on the German army's waist and eyes! As long as the 88th Brigade, the 103rd Division and the 202nd Division were inserted into Artini, the German First Army would be blocked in the triangle area south of the Aine River! The German army from Sedang and Ilsson needed to ensure the safety of the two places first, so the action would definitely not be fast. Moreover, even if they arrived, they would be blocked by the river and even after they crossed the river, the siege was over! And the two divisions from Verdun... unless the French Fourth Army surrendered without fighting, they would have to be solved first before they could cross Moronville!

"The reconnaissance plane takes off immediately! Send a telegram to Zhang Xiaozhun and tell him... I don't need the number of casualties. What I want is continuous attack and harassment. It is necessary to ensure that the main force of the German army was dragged in the plains and valleys before Qiu Wenbin took down Artini!"

"The preparation division of the 223, 224th Division immediately set out to support Zhang Xiaozhun. Tell Su Xiaohu... He will hold me back for two days even if he dies!"

The crisp and decisive command swept away the dullness. The staff and officers who had exhausted their energy just now were instantly energetic, and even the wind was raised under their feet when they walked. But before the order was sent out, an unexpected guest walked into the war room with a solemn face.

"General Foch?"

Wearing traditional French high-footed hats and neatly uniformed Lieutenant General Difou of the French Fourth Army appeared in front of the officers of the Expeditionary Force. After receiving the news the day before yesterday, he arrived overnight. In order to seize the time, he used the plane for the first time, and took another night to take a truck and finally arrived in Prolong at the most critical moment.

In just over a dozen minutes, Cai E introduced the current situation. When he learned that Qiu Wenbin had given up the opportunity to cross the river and threaten him, and turned around and penetrated Artini, the veteran general who had been through many battles was also moved, and his fingers trembled slightly at the triangle encirclement: "Do you want to defeat Carl Bello?"

"It's not about defeating, it's about encircling and completely eliminating!"

Yue Peng and Cai E looked at each other, confidently told the whole story from breaking through to luring the enemy to detour, pointing to the map and saying, "General Foch. Please contact Lieutenant General Mangran immediately. Our army will launch a full-scale attack on the German First Army in the early morning tomorrow. I believe that the German army will definitely not sit idly by and watch them be surrounded, so after the attack begins, it will definitely try to draw more troops from the Ziegfeld defense line. This is a good opportunity! We should immediately give up the full-scale attack and choose to concentrate our strength to break through one or two points. As long as we can break through a little and meet us, we can form a right hook of more than 50 divisions and defeat any enemy..."

"Feel sorry."

Faced with an opportunity to achieve a right hook-up tactic that can even completely change the situation on the Western Front, Foch interrupted Yue Peng without any excitement and turned his head to look at Lieutenant General Difu, who was in a depressed face. The latter said a little embarrassedly: "General Yue. I'm afraid Lieutenant General Mangran can no longer complete your idea."

"Why?" Cai E's heart trembled, and an ominous omen suddenly rose.

Lieutenant General Difo told the whole story. It turned out that after learning that Mount Avila was broken yesterday morning, Mangran and Nivelle ordered the attack of the 10th Army again despite the fatigue of the troops, regardless of the troops' fatigue, and also brought the Sergal Division and two Russian military divisions. However, they did not expect that the Senegalese Division was not used to the cold weather and hid in the trenches and missed the attack time. Then, the two Russian military divisions were crippled by crazy machine guns and artillery as soon as they entered the front line, and even ignored the safety of the 10th Army, and they took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield! In the end, a huge gap appeared in the left wing of the 10th Army. They were caught by the German army and mobilized the two divisions to launch a counterattack."

"How many people?" Yue Peng tried hard to calm himself down and looked at Difu in his voice. The latter sighed and said, "We have just received the news that as of yesterday evening, a total of more than 26,000 people were sacrificed. There were 60,000 injured. The 10th Army has... basically lost its combat effectiveness!"

"I'll fuck you, the eighth generation of Mangran ancestors!"

Even if he is well educated, this news made the officers of the Expeditionary Force present furious! You should know that the Expeditionary Force's breakthrough and encirclement was entirely based on the three French armies dragging the 22 German divisions on the defense line of Ziegfe, and took advantage of the gap that the German army did not dare to draw too many troops. So even if Mangran did nothing, as long as the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops were placed on the front line of the three armies, Rudendolf would not dare to continue to draw troops after drawing three divisions. But Mangran took the initiative to launch an attack, and the attack would be fine, but he would even lose nearly 100,000 people in one breath! As a result, half of the 10th Army was disabled. In addition, the already disabled 5th and 6th armies, the nearly 100 kilometers of Ziegfe's defense line could not even gather the power of a full-scale attack.

You don’t need to know much military knowledge to understand that it is impossible to support 14 infantry divisions after leaving the urban defense circle and rushing south to the German First Army in any case, and nearly 250 tanks and armored vehicles attacked from all directions. No matter how elite the German army on the Western Front is, it is also a tired army for a long battle. The merits are also based on the complete defense facilities. The German army exposed to the wilderness is not much stronger than Britain and France. But now, after the French army on the front has been greatly weakened, Ludendorf calmly drank coffee and then dispatched two to three divisions to attack Bazangkur!

It was less than 40 kilometers from the Siegfe defense line north of Lance to Bazangkur. The vanguard troops had already arrived at the periphery by climbing. When they thought that Su Xiaohu was facing 7 to 8 German advisors with heavy artillery cooperation that had exceeded expectations, everyone wanted to arrest Mangran immediately and shoot him directly! "Zi'an..." Cai E also had a fire in his voice. But he knew that he needed to calm down the most now! So he suppressed the angry Yue Peng: "Now we must come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Although Foch had just arrived, he also understood that if he could not block Bazangkur, let alone destroying the German First Army, the five light infantry divisions sent there would be thrown away! He immediately said: "General Yue, Lieutenant General Difu has two divisions behind you. I have ordered them to head towards Bazangkur, and I expected to arrive tomorrow morning." Tomorrow morning? It would be great if I could hold on until tomorrow morning! Yue Peng glanced at Fochur at a slant, pushed Cai E's hand away and stood up slowly, his figure as straight as a steel nail pierced on the ground, and gave the order that it was later considered to have completely saved the entire battle.

"Telecommunication, aircraft! No matter what method is used, be sure to strictly order all troops in the shortest time, and immediately attack the Shire Valley and Reniver from receiving the order! Order the 88th Brigade and the 103rd Division gave up Artini to go south to participate in the attack, and the 202nd Division intercepted Artini's defense and reinforcements. The telegram ordered each to participate in the encirclement troops, and fight as quickly as possible! No one is allowed to advance in this battle. The soldiers retreated and killed the squad leader, the squad leader retreated and killed the battalion commander, the company retreated and killed the battalion commander...! For the 100,000 robes of Bazangkur, I ask everyone to... fight to the end!"
