World War I had many "hidden rules" that are unimaginable in modern warfare. For example, the large armies of both sides would cease their troops on time after dark, wash their faces and brush their teeth and go to bed, while those who had slept enough during the day would set out to the positions of both sides at this time.
They vandalized the area between them, cutting barbed wire and catching tongues.
The next morning, these night attack teams came back to sleep, while the regular troops got up, brushed their teeth and washed their faces. After getting ready, the artillerymen from both sides began to say hello...
Of course, the war has just begun, and the rigid trench lines of the later days have not yet been formed, but this style of working while in and out has begun to take shape.
On the edge of the Marne River, on a position occupied by the Germans, the logistics engineer troops were preparing for the next day's cross-river attack, while the combat troops were celebrating today's victory. Of course, the rigorous Germans still sent out their own sentries
, conduct vigilance facing the river.
At the sentry post on the westernmost edge of the German-controlled position, a sentry from Württemberg was yawning. German troops are generally organized according to their source of troops. Prussian troops are generally all Prussians, and those from the Principality of Württemberg are
The same goes for the army. But there are always some exceptions in this world, and this is the case for this Württemberg sentry. He was accidentally incorporated into an army composed entirely of Prussians, which made him miserable.
Some Prussians are quite arrogant, and some look down upon the people of other principalities in the German Empire.
The sentry yawned again and again, thinking that he must find an opportunity to transfer back to the Württemberg troops. If that didn't work, he could go to the Bagolians' troops, as long as he could get rid of the damn Prussians and the low-level officers who were Junkers.
.He is willing to do anything.
While thinking about these things, it was too late when he noticed the noise around him. Facing the three "eyes" that suddenly appeared in front of him with a faint dark green light, he only had time to open his mouth, and he didn't even scream in surprise.
When he spoke, his mouth was gagged and his throat was slit with a dagger.
The "ghost" with three eyes gently placed the body of the German sentry on the ground, squatted down, and used his dim green eyes to carefully check the situation of the German position in front of him. Then he stretched out his hand and made a series of
The gesture ended with the index and middle fingers together pointing towards the German position in front of them.
The next moment, dark green eyes appeared in the darkness behind him. The dormant wolves revealed their fangs.
This unit of about a hundred people moved quickly, and the sound of submachine gun fire with silencers echoed one after another in the silent night.
Finally, the German engineering troops during combat operations realized that something was wrong. An engineer major ordered the guards to fire a flare into the sky. Then he was surprised to find that the German combat troops next to the bonfire were almost dead and injured, and he
The engineering team has been surrounded by troops wearing various branches and camouflage nets and wearing strange equipment.
"Surf the gun and don't kill!" German with extremely blunt pronunciation rang out in the sky, "The Chinese *** team gives preferential treatment to prisoners!"
The engineer major raised his gun and prepared to resist, but was beaten to a pulp in an instant.
At this time, the time for the flares passed, and the world returned to darkness again. The Chinese soldiers were hiding in the darkness. Only the dim green light spots that could not be seen without looking carefully reminded the Germans that they were here.
Finally, a German sergeant took the lead to put down his weapon, and the remaining hundreds of engineers and soldiers on the position surrendered to the Chinese commandos.
The same night attack occurred across the entire front. The Chinese troops of less than a thousand men took back four major sections of the ferry through night attacks, destroying the equipment and ammunition that the German army was preparing for tomorrow's cross-river attack.
At dawn the next day, Lin Youde came to the war room, but was startled by the French people who filled the war room.
"What's going on?" he asked Josephine, who was guarding the door.
"It seems that after Foch returned to the headquarters last night, she told the French generals and staff the information she got from us. So her proposal to establish a joint command was approved."
Lin Youde glanced at his wife and thought that she was right. The French generals just like to act cute, and they are not really stupid. They have battlefield intelligence collection and statistical capabilities that are so advanced as theirs. There is no reason not to come and take advantage of them.
Just as he was thinking about it, a big-breasted figure emerged from the group of French staff members in front of Lin Youde - oh no, a Foch appeared. The French girl stretched out her arms and hugged her directly.
"Oh, Lin, the performance of your Chinese troops is so outstanding." Foch's chest was squeezed into Lin Youde's chest. When he spoke, hot air blew directly on Lin Youde's face, and the tip of his straight and small nose was right under Lin Youde's eyes.
Wandering.
It happened that Lin Youde's morning erection hadn't passed the end yet, so he straightened up again. Then he and Foch were so close to each other at this time, so the French girl pulled away a little, keeping her breasts barely touching.
The state of Lin Youde's chest showed an ambiguous smile to Lin Youde.
"It seems," Foch glanced at Josephine, "you were not satisfied yesterday."
"It's just a morning erection." When Lin Youde saw that his wife was about to explode, he quickly pushed the French girl away, cleared his throat, and asked his wife seriously, "How were the casualties among the boys last night?"
"Thirty-seven people were wounded," Josephine replied while glaring at Foch. "No one was killed, but three were seriously injured and may need amputation."
"Well, these three people will all receive special merit, and the other wounded will receive first-class merit. They will receive a medal for collective outstanding service in the army."
"I have given the order. The troops have now been withdrawn from the front line, and the occupied positions have been taken over by the French army." Josephine finally turned her attention to Lin Youde, "In addition, I received a telegram from the sea this morning.
The fleet will reach Brest this afternoon, carrying an Indian division with only second-class equipment."
"Very good," Lin Youde was very happy. The second-class equipment of his troops here has reached the level of European first-class troops in terms of individual firepower configuration. In addition, the Indians are already good at fighting. This troop can send many soldiers.
Less useful, "Order the troops to rest for a day after arriving in Brest, and then move towards Paris."
At this time, the sound of German artillery fire was heard outside the window. It seemed that last night's attack could not prevent the Germans from continuing to attack.
"Lin," Foch came up again and asked Lin Youde, "What do you think of the German offensive today?"
Lin Youde shrugged and replied: "How else can we look at it? The troops from both sides are surrounded by dead people around the position."
In fact, Lin Youde was quite helpless. The first Battle of the Marne River in the previous time and space was a mobile battle. It was actually a large melee composed of a series of battles that were not closely related to each other. In this time and space, due to his participation in Lin Youde,
Due to the butterfly effect, the Battle of the Marne turned into an offensive-defensive battle in which the German army used superior forces to siege the defense lines around Paris. There was not much he could do.
"We just need to persist and persist until the German army's stamina is exhausted, and they will naturally retreat." Lin Youde's statement triggered a discussion among the French generals and staff present. Lin Youde did not understand French, so he guessed that there must be something wrong with this.
What many people say is "complete nonsense".
Lin Youde didn't care. Based on the memories from the previous time and space and the intelligence obtained from this time and space, the German army was not ready for a long-term war, and the Gestapo and Landebel's "Human Hunting Force" were further sabotaging the enemy's rear.
It reduced the German army's ability to continue fighting, so Lin Youde firmly believed that the first Battle of the Marne in this time and space would end with the German army's sudden retreat without warning, just like the previous time and space.
Foch stared at Lin Youde's face for a long time, and then she smiled and said, "Well, I trust your judgment."
This caused a lot of discussion among the French generals and staff officers.
Robert Nivele looked at Foch who was talking to the Chinese and snorted heavily.
Nivelle had a very high self-esteem and believed that he was the military genius who could lead France to victory. He was a firm believer in the offensive doctrine, which allowed him to rise rapidly under Foch, who also believed in the offensive doctrine. When Foch ordered to stop the offensive
And when the defense began, Nivelle became Foch's most staunch opponent. He insisted that Foch's decision was the culprit that led to the current difficult situation.
"Our commander-in-chief was captured by the Chinese." Nivele said to Foch's deputy, De Castelao. "She spent so many days in the Chinese mansion, I am afraid she would have surrendered to China long ago.
The Chinese are the best at capturing the hearts of high-ranking goddesses and turning them from noble knights into bitches."
De Castelao couldn't help but frown. His family was an orthodox aristocratic family inherited from the Bourbon dynasty. His upbringing made him intolerable to Nivelle's vulgar words.
But he didn't say anything. The status of an old noble was not popular in the Republic. Because of this, De Castelao could only serve as a deputy to the commander-in-chief. His military rank had not been promoted for a long time, and he did not want to offend another one.
A general in great vigour.
"That bitch will sell us all to the Chinese!" Niweiler continued, "We must put pressure on the government to replace the commander-in-chief, and then use a determined offensive to drive the Germans away from French soil
!”
Seeing that De Castelao was silent, Nivelle turned to Deputy Commander Lanrezac, who was standing on the other side: "I think it is a good choice for you to serve as the commander-in-chief of the French army. You have to fight before the war begins."
The act of disobedience fully demonstrates your military talent enough to save France."
Lanrezac glanced at Nivelle, not concealing his disdain for him. Obviously he knew that Nivelle really wanted him to be the commander-in-chief.
"No, Mr. Nivelle," Lanrezac said solemnly, "I think that if the government wants to change its commander-in-chief, the best candidate is the old General Gallianni."
"That old stubborn?" Nivele didn't stop the brakes for a moment, and immediately showed a regretful expression after speaking. He coughed twice, "Old General Garini is indeed qualified in terms of qualifications and prestige, but he is old.
I’m afraid I can’t bear the overwork…”
Lanrezac said nothing, just sneered and looked away.
This is also a special feature of World War I. Fighting on the front lines and political struggles in the rear areas are endless.dd
