"The Bostonians have done a good job. They have such a strong will to fight, but if they don't go for reinforcements, they will be in danger." Xiao Hua, holding a telescope, smiled and murmured to himself. Then he ordered his troops to immediately prepare to reinforce the Bostonians.
The madness just now exhausted the physical strength of the Bostonians. After repelling the attack of the Nantes Army, more than 8,000 soldiers who were still alive jumped back into the trenches. Most of them were breathing heavily and looked exhausted.
The look of exhaustion.
The artillery bombardment of the Nantes Army began quickly. After twenty minutes of preparations for the bombardment, more Nantes soldiers rushed forward. Having been driven back in hand-to-hand combat just now, the commander of the Nantes Army was furious. Unexpectedly, there were not many of them.
The defenders were actually so difficult to deal with.
This time, in order to completely defeat the defenders, the Nantes Army sent more soldiers and rushed towards the mountain. Looking at the dense enemy soldiers, and then at his own soldiers who were already tired to death, General Pershing sighed.
He knew he couldn't hold on any longer this time.
Looking at the approaching Nantes soldiers, Pershing had closed his eyes in despair. Suddenly there was a dense whooshing sound, and Pershing opened his eyes in surprise, just in time to see the Nantes soldiers on the opposite side covered in a cloud of smoke.
.
Explosions were heard intensively, and the Nantes soldiers who were charging were covered by a rocket explosion. Broken limbs and pieces of meat were flying everywhere. Most of the Nantes soldiers who were caught in the sudden attack were killed or injured.
A large number of Jagged Army soldiers quickly entered the position. Seeing Xiao Hua approaching, General Per Xing was stunned for a while. "You, why are you here?" General Per Xing was already stuttering with excitement. This kind of desperate situation
The feeling of being lucky really made him unable to control his emotions.
Xiao Hua smiled and said: "You have already played very well, showing the momentum of the Boston army. Now let us do it."
Unlike the Boston Empire, the Third Division brought by Xiao Hua was equipped with all kinds of weapons and equipment except for the lack of heavy artillery. The range of the rocket launchers was much closer than that of the heavy artillery, so the Iron Blood Army did not use them to shoot against the artillery of the Nantes Army.
The artillery of the Iron Blood Army flexibly shifted their positions. They only fired a single salvo when the opponent launched an attack, causing heavy damage to the charging Nantes soldiers. A single salvo of rocket launchers was very powerful, but it took a long time to reload.
Time. These Iron-Blooded Army artillerymen took advantage of this feature to let the rocket launchers no longer reload after firing a salvo. Instead, they immediately moved their positions and reloaded elsewhere, and then fired the next salvo, waiting for the Nantes Army's retaliation.
When the bombardment came, they had already left.
Relying on flexible tactics, the Iron Blood Army firmly controlled the position on the top of the mountain. In their spare time, the Iron Blood Army soldiers deepened and lengthened the Bostonians' trenches, and also built a large number of anti-gun holes and traffic trenches.
The Boston soldiers, whose skills in the trenches were still at the level of elementary school students, were filled with admiration.
With the help of a division of iron-blooded troops, the Bostonians held their position firmly until the arrival of the Yaman reinforcements. These days of holding on were later written down by General Pershing in his report, in which he repeatedly
Emphasizing that unless the Chinese Empire disintegrates in chaos, the Boston Empire will be seeking death by going to war against this powerful country.
Unfortunately, the top brass of the Boston Empire did not accept his opinion. Decades later, the Boston Empire launched the war first, and the outcome was just as General Pershing predicted. The Boston Empire suffered a devastating blow.
The Baden area returned to the hands of the Allies again, making this place a protrusion of the entire front. In order to gain the strategic initiative by attacking Munich, the Allied Powers mobilized a large army to prepare to attack the Baden area again.
The Man army surrounded and annihilated them in one fell swoop.
The Allies were busy mobilizing troops and preparing supplies, and the fighting on the front line slowed down for a while. The Yaman Empire was also aware of this. While they were sending more troops, they also asked the Chinese Empire for help, hoping that they could send more troops.
With this period of buffering, Denikin had successfully occupied a large area of territory in the south and firmly controlled the coastal railway lines that Russia had previously controlled.
With the guarantee of this railway line, the troops of the Chinese Empire quickly passed here and entered the Kingdom of Habfsburg in a steady stream. Then they continued to move westward, passing through the entire Yaman Empire and reaching the front line. The Army of the Chinese Empire
Officially entering the Western Continent to fight, this force will be led by Tobur himself, and together with the Third Army of the Iron-Blooded Army that arrived earlier, they will be named the Chinese Expeditionary Force by Fang Xiaoyu himself.
The first to arrive at the Baden front line was an engineering unit of the Wehrmacht. What surprised the Yamans was that as soon as they arrived, they began to use the large amount of materials they brought with them to build a batch of temporary railways on a plain near Munich.
What surprised them even more was that their railways were actually made in the shape of butterflies. Some Yaman officials were puzzled and asked privately the senior officials of the National Defense Force about the purpose of these railways, but they were told that it was also a military secret.
Got blocked and came back.
The first batch of troops from the Chinese Empire to enter the Western Continent amounted to 500,000 people from ten armies. They were quickly deployed in Baden and nearby areas, and together with the two armies of the Yaman Empire, they defended more than 300 kilometers of land.
Line of defense.
Regarding William II's polite move to hand over the command of this area to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the main force defending this area, Tobol, who was in charge of commanding the Chinese Expeditionary Force, agreed without any hesitation. The Army Chief of the Chinese Empire
The Chief of Staff, who is also the de facto Commander-in-Chief of the Army, is a very powerful person. He has enough weight and status to overwhelm those rebellious Yaman generals.
Tobl's deployment of troops was not based on selfish interests. He did not deploy the Yaman army to the most dangerous areas. Instead, he deployed them to the easier defense lines in nearby areas. In the most important area of Baden, he placed the strongest troops of the Wehrmacht.
At the same time, the Third Army of the Iron-Blooded Army, which had just conducted a combat mission, served as a reserve force at the rear, allowing them to rest and prepare to make up for any leaks at any time.
In the protrusion that is most easily encircled, 100,000 Japanese troops from the two armies were placed here. Of course, Toboer would not let them completely serve as cannon fodder. There was a large number of rocket launcher groups hidden not far behind them, close to the city of Munich.
In this area, a heavy artillery corps was secretly transferred from the heavy artillery regiment to provide fire cover for them. All in all, Tobol arranged a large and deep position in this area, and arranged the troops with light front and heavy rear, which is definitely very effective.
level.
If the Allied leaders knew that the two months they had prepared had enhanced the other side's defense so much, they would have regretted it, and they would have learned an extremely unforgettable lesson when they started to attack.
The Allied Powers have more and more troops in nearby areas, with a tendency to exceed one million. Various combat materials and military aircraft are also continuing to increase. The Allied Powers have even built several large field military towers fifty or sixty kilometers behind the front line.
The airport is used to house military aircraft drawn from various units. The atmosphere of the war is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, Tobol convened all the chief officers at the division level and above to hold a pre-war military meeting to unify their thinking.
The meeting was held at the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters in Munich. Before the meeting, the division commanders successively reported on the deployment of their troops' defense areas. These people were all veterans who came from regular military academies and had experienced many battles. They were very familiar with various new tactics and new military ideas.
Knowing all of them well, Tobur was very relieved about their position layout and firepower equipment. Even several divisions of the Japanese soldiers had built a solid defense line with the help of the Chinese Empire's staff.
After hearing the division commanders' reports, Tobur stood up and said: "Everyone has worked very hard during this period, and the preparations before the war are quite complete. This time, although the Allied Powers mobilized heavy troops to occupy the Baden area again, I know very well
They will not succeed. With the combat effectiveness of our Chinese Expeditionary Force, we can completely defeat the enemy in front of us. There is no doubt about this."
Seeing that although the senior officers sitting here were motionless, their eyes were full of excitement. It was obvious that they were not nervous but excited about the upcoming war. Tobur was very satisfied with the war-seeking mood of his men, and he continued
Said: "Chief officers at all levels must make it clear that they cannot be careless at any time. Even if the opponent's weapons, equipment and military quality are not as good as ours, we must attach great importance to it and strive to minimize troop losses."
"Chief of Staff, if we defeat the Allied forces, are we allowed to pursue it?" Officers at all levels of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are now very confident in their own victory. What they are most concerned about is not whether they can hold their positions, but whether they can defend their positions after defeating their opponents.
The pursuit was allowed, so when one of the military commanders couldn't help but ask, all the officers present stretched their ears, waiting for Tobur's answer.
Tobur smiled slightly and said: "Pursuit is absolutely allowed. As for the scale of pursuit, it is up to you. But I want to remind you that you cannot pursue too far and stop when you see fit. We are helping the Allies fight, there is no need to
To regain lost ground for them and put ourselves in danger."
Looking at the officers who nodded repeatedly, Toboer asked again: "I want to ask you, if you start to pursue, what is the first priority?"
The military commander who had just answered replied: "It is to carry out penetration at the fastest speed, divide and surround the Allied forces, and annihilate them."
Tobur shook his head, pointed at his head with a smile and said: "Think about it with your own mind. I just said that there is no need to put yourself in danger in order to regain lost ground for the allies."
"Chief of Staff, do you mean...to take advantage?" Another military commander seemed to feel something and asked tentatively.
