Renault's team finally caught up with the German cavalry force - to be precise, they finally crushed the Germans and ran out of fuel.
The Germans occupied a small village that was not marked on the map, blasted the residents out of bed and drove them out of the village, and then established a defensive line in the village. It seemed that they were preparing to use the village as their defensive stronghold.
Renault commanded the team to conduct a tentative attack. As a result, the rune armor on the shoulder of one machine was completely consumed, the entire arm was damaged, and the rune armor of other machines was also consumed to a certain extent. The effect of their attack was
It was not obvious that a fire broke out in the village, but it was quickly extinguished.
After retreating to a safe area, Renault believed that it was too risky to attack this armored force, which was obviously carrying heavy weapons such as artillery, with the generals of his team.
Renault is not a person who is enthusiastic about the reform of military weapons. In fact, he is a conservative among the officers. Almost all the commanders of the generals and armor troops are conservatives, and many of them have noble families with a long history and are die-hard royalists.
The party, to this day, still resents the fact that the empire of Napoleon III has turned into the Third French Republic.
But Renault is not a stubborn person. In fact, few people still stubbornly believe in those obviously outdated beliefs after seeing the specific facts-human beings with normal IQs are capable of learning. Renault knows very well
Realizing that these mobile armored units carrying artillery pose a threat to Jiang Feng Jia's status, although Jiang Feng Jia still has obvious single-unit advantages at the tactical level, this weapon that the Chinese call a "tank" has a general
A huge advantage that Fengjia can never match: they are the product of science and technology. They are equipment that can be mass-produced through the modern industrial system.
But Jiang Fengjia is not.
In the future, Jiang Feng Jia will definitely encounter tanks that are hundreds or thousands of times his own. Under such circumstances, Jiang Feng Jia will have almost no chance of winning.
Just like it is now.
Renault knew that he would definitely not be able to capture the village before reinforcements arrived, so he ordered his troops to occupy the high ground near the village. He closely monitored the movements of the Germans in the village, and at the same time tried to find a way to contact the headquarters to send reinforcements.
But he didn't know that at this time, the French army headquarters at all levels were in chaos.
Foch looked at the staff in the headquarters who were as busy as ants on a hot pot, with a furious expression on his face.
"How many places did the Germans launch attacks? Can anyone give an accurate statement?" She slapped the table and yelled at the people in the room, but this time no one had time to pay attention to the shaking of her breasts.
.
After nightfall, the Germans launched artillery bombardments along the entire front, causing the French to flee with their heads in arms. Immediately afterwards, reports of the German offensive flew like snow to all levels of French army headquarters.
But Foch knew that it was impossible for the German army to launch a comprehensive attack on the entire front.
"They don't have enough troops at all! The German troops in front of them are smaller than ours. Their main force is in Belgium! To the north of Paris! So most of these attacks must have been launched by the German troops who were driven out of their positions by us during the day.
A diversionary attack! In order to hide the location of their real local counterattack! Now tell me immediately where that counterattack is!"
"Perhaps it was at the location where the German cavalry troops broke through this evening?" said Foch's staff officer Myerson.
Foch rolled his eyes at him: "What if the Germans just want us to think that? Can you guarantee that it was not a feint attack? If it was a well-organized counterattack, why were the follow-up troops disconnected from the breakthrough cavalry troops? I
Know the Germans, Sir! They will not make such a mistake!"
The Germans may indeed not make such a mistake. But... the fact is that the Germans did not expect that the cavalry troops would have such a strong breakthrough ability... After all, at this time, tanks all over the world were designed by Helang Yabo.
Impact, thin-skinned cannons run fast. Although the German imitations have a slightly thicker skin, they are still evaluated by senior officers as paper toys. No one would have thought that these large-caliber .50-caliber firearms might be able to penetrate them.
This thing has such strong breakthrough power.
The French didn't expect it, and neither did the Germans.
Prior to this, military strategists from the European powers believed that Lin Youde's armored blitzkrieg in Mexico would be successful because the Mexican battlefield was vast with few soldiers, which gave the Chinese a gap to make a breakthrough. Everyone felt that they were in a "crowded" European battlefield.
The new unit of armored cavalry will not do much.
The Germans suddenly realized that they seemed to have thought wrong.
But Foch didn't know this.
She continued to pace back and forth in the headquarters. The blond curls that she had not had time to oil looked far less "golden" than before, and the baggy pajamas did not reflect her voluptuous body at all. Only the pair of missing women
Her breasts swaying freely despite the restraints of the corset are still emphasizing her good figure.
After waiting for another twenty minutes, Foch finally became impatient again.
"That's enough! I've had enough of you idiots! Notify the Shenji Battalion that I'm going to take off to inspect the front lines and ask them to prepare my armor."
For a moment, the entire command center fell silent.
Everyone looked at Foch, and their work temporarily stopped.
Meyerson said on behalf of everyone: "Isn't this good? Since the war started, the goddesses on both sides have only had small-scale contact, and only a few girls have been injured. If you appear on the battlefield with your escort, the Germans may take notice.
?Once Shen Ji starts to suffer a large number of casualties, this war..."
At this time, both the French army and the German army believed that the war would end quickly - in fact, almost all the politicians in the world, except Lin Youde, thought so. Therefore, both sides have been avoiding large-scale battles between the Shenji troops, because
Once there are heavy casualties on the Shenji side, I am afraid the war will not end so easily. Like now, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Principality of Serbia can only fight until one side is destroyed.
Therefore, both sides have consciously avoided large-scale contact with Shenji. In the final analysis, the European powers in this time and space have almost the same views on the war as the powers in the early stages of the First World War in the previous time and space. No one expected that the war would eventually develop to death.
Endlessly.
Now that Foch will take off in person and go to the front line to "inspect", it is impossible that the German side will not take action. They will at least take off one or more goddesses of the same level as Foch as a counterattack.
This can easily turn into a large-scale fight between gods and girls.
This is exactly what the staff in the headquarters are worried about at this time. The French officers may not be that good at fighting, but their political sense is much more sensitive than their German colleagues.
Foch glanced at the entire headquarters, and then asked: "Then tell me, other than taking off in person and making a low-altitude circle along the front line, is there any way to quickly understand the situation on the front line? What forced me to take off?
The biggest factor is your incompetence! Go to work quickly! Before I arrive at Shenji Camp, you still have half an hour to figure out what happened on the front line!"
German-occupied territory, the headquarters of the 11th Air Knight Brigade of the Teutonic Knights in the village of Merlin.
Soldiers wearing sharp-edged steel helmets pushed the big horn out of the stable that was used as a warehouse. Two soldiers shook the rocker behind the horn together, driving the rotor to generate electricity, and then a sharp and piercing alarm sounded "Woo-Woo".
Come.
Suddenly, the entire station was brightly lit. The officers who had woken up from their sleep came out of the house. Before they had time to button up their clothes, they started blowing whistles to urge the soldiers to rush to their posts.
The searchlights in the air were turned on one by one, and the huge beams of light cast light spots on the low-lying dark clouds.
The rack used to take off the Shenji equipped with new armor was pushed out of the warehouse, and the donkey cart pulling weapons, ammunition and fuel rushed from the warehouse area to the maintenance warehouse.
Manfrena von Richthofen, the captain of the 11th Battalion, dressed up as quickly as possible, then opened the door of her single room and appeared in front of the ground crew major who had rushed outside her room.
"what happened?"
"French spies reported that French Commander-in-Chief Foch is preparing to patrol along the front."
Manfrena raised her eyebrows, then looked up at the sky: "Inspection? In such weather? What's going on with the French commander-in-chief?"
"Uh..." the ground crew major pondered for a while, and then said hesitantly. "I heard something, but..."
"But it doesn't matter." Manfrena waved her hand coolly and signaled.
"That's right, His Excellency Crown Prince William's Army Group and His Excellency Crown Prince Bagria's Army Group seem to have launched a counterattack against the French tonight..."
"Tonight?" Manfrena's expression looked even more puzzling. "Are they crazy? Our troops on this end of the battle line are at a disadvantage. We didn't even have time to defend, so we counterattacked?"
In Germany, patriarchy is more serious than in other European countries. It is not uncommon for high-ranking goddesses to serve as military commanders in other countries. Even if the goddesses themselves do not have enough military talent to become commanders, other countries are often willing to let them
A beautiful girl with pure blood sits in a commanding position without real power to encourage morale.
But Germany is different - to be precise, Prussia is different. In the Prussian army, there has never been a precedent for a goddess to serve as a commander. Some famous and talented goddesses may have a certain say in the use of conventional troops.
But the commander of a conventional force must be an ordinary person—or, in other words, a man.
The goddesses in the Prussian army were only the embodiment of high-end combat power, and they still had to accept the leadership of men.
But this does not mean that the Prussian goddess has no leadership and military abilities. Before serving as the chief knight of the 11th Battalion, Manfrena studied at the German Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy and graduated with first place. It is said that she
His graduation score ranked second in the history of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and he was also the descendant of the Junker noble family who achieved the best results in the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy.
The first person in history is a child from an ordinary peasant family named Erich Ludendorff.
In short, Manfrena has quite good military qualities, which is why she is puzzled by Crown Prince William's actions.
Unfortunately, no one can answer her question at this moment.
Manfrena sighed.
"Forget it, I'll do my job well. Order the entire brigade to take off immediately after the preparations are completed. Let's meet the Frenchman." (To be continued...)
