The expeditionary army's offensive became more and more fierce, and the encirclement became tighter and tighter.

...

Every few minutes, bad news will be heard after another to the German command of the West Coast. In many places, in the face of fierce attacks, the German army with insufficient ammunition often collapses without fighting. In the past fourteen days, the German defensive positions have been reduced by two-thirds, which has made Lieutenant General Feltz von Bellou feel that the disaster is coming.

Just yesterday, the headquarters had begun to move again, and his subordinates began to burn official documents, and then set off in several surviving cars and carriages. Along the way, they saw groups of exhausted German soldiers and wounded soldiers moving forward slowly like ghosts. The expeditionary force was approaching. Feltz von Bellou understood that these people either died or were trapped by the Chinese, but he was too busy to take his command staff to evacuate the original site.

This time Feltz von Belu had no mercy on his subordinates, because he understood that he could not escape, and what was waiting for him was still the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp, unless the East Coast could immediately tear the Chinese's defense and immediately replenish a new force to the West Coast.

"…Under the current situation, it is expected that within ten days, our army will not be able to break through the Chinese defensive positions..."

“Can’t break through…”

After receiving the telegram from General Max von Galvez, Feltz von Belle said sadly:

"This telegram undoubtedly sentenced the death of the West Bank troops. When the soldiers reached out to me and begged, "Give me a piece of bread, yourselves." What should I do as the commander of the army? It's too late now."

Thinking of the tension in the situation, tears flowed out from Feltz von Bellu's eyes, and he continued to say to the generals and officers in the headquarters:

"I am a dying person, as if I am talking in another world, and I, the dying person, no longer care about war."

After experiencing the brutal battle of the fourteenth. After more than 50% of the troops, facing the situation of exhaustion of ammunition and food, the responsibility of the Felz von Bellu, who had realized that the pointless resistance of the officers of the officers made him once again ask the Second Army Command:

"The supply of food and ammunition has caused catastrophic difficulties in the East Coast defense, the combat effectiveness of the troops has dropped rapidly, and 11,000 wounded people have not received any care, and mental breakdown has occurred among the soldiers. I once again request freedom of movement. While there is still a possibility of continuing to fight, continue to resist. If it is not possible, stop the impossible battle.

Feltz von Bellu

July 21st.”

However, General Max von Galvez did not have any sympathy. He immediately called Feltz von Belle:

"The German team must not go to the squadron. The troops must carry out their own historical tasks and resist until the last moment in order to promote the attack on the East Coast..."

On July 22, when the Expeditionary Force Command's request for Feltz von Bellu to surrender again was rejected, in the early morning of the 22nd, the Expeditionary Force launched the final general attack on the German army in the encirclement.

It was able to break through the German position. In less than five kilometers of assault surface, the Expeditionary Force gathered 2,100 howitzers and mortars, although 60mm, 81mm and 120mm mortars accounted for the majority. However, this kind of shelling was still enough to shock the weather, and the artillery group let out a shocking roar.

In an instant, the sky and the earth were filled with loud noises, rubble and wire were lifted into the air, and the once extremely strong German position was collapsed, and the Expeditionary Force launched a general attack at any cost under the cover of artillery fire. For the people, they might have run out of ammunition and food and could not hold on. For the Expeditionary Force, they had no time...

Time, for the Expeditionary Force, this will be the last day of the general attack! It will also be the last general attack!

The reality of one position after another, the inability to continue the war and the reality of the general attack of the expeditionary force, directly led to Feltz von Belle's request to General Max von Galvez again:

"The troops were ammunition and food... Any continued resistance is meaningless, please allow us to surrender immediately."

General Max von Galvez, who was commanding troops on the other side to try to regain the nearly two kilometers of position lost in the counterattack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the early morning, then immediately called back and ordered:

"No surrender! All the troops on the West Bank are holding their positions and fighting to the last man and the last bullet."

Whether for Germany or China, this battle is about two countries. For Germany, it is defeated by China, and it has suffered a psychological setback, or even a loss of more than 60,000 people. For China, whether it can establish its status as a country is here!

Fifteen days ago, when the decisive battle began, the two iron fists finally had the most violent collision on both sides of the Somme at this last moment.

The result of the battle was actually destined from the beginning of the encirclement fourteen days ago. After the expeditionary force tore through the German defense line and the two divisions' expeditionary army reserves were put into the battlefield, the victory was decided. In fact, the battle had developed from this point on to eliminate the remaining enemies. The reality of ammunition and food were exhausted and the reinforcements could not be seen. It only frustrated the morale of nearly 40,000 German soldiers who survived the West Bank and began to surrender in batches.

At around 3:00 p.m. that day, when the expeditionary forces learned through the captives that the German command was located in the basement of a nearby village, they immediately mobilized a regiment to surround the fortified village and cut off all telephone lines leading to the command.

At this moment, in the dim basement, Feltz von Belu sat on a camp bed, in a daze.

In the telegraph room next door, the keyboard sound of "da da da da da" came. At 3:30 pm on July 22, facing the reality that the headquarters was surrounded, Feltz von Belu ordered his subordinates to send the last telegram:

"Now, the headquarters has been surrounded by squadrons, and they can attack here at any time. Here, we salute the national flag, maybe this is the last time... The Chinese Expeditionary Force is outside the door, please do not contact me, I am destroying the radio."

Subsequently, the telecommunications were interrupted.

In fact, there was no bloody battle at the last moment. When the Expeditionary Force attacked the village, Feltz von Belu ordered his subordinates to raise the white flag.

The German army surrendered.

At 5 pm that day, the remaining German troops who were defending their positions also laid down their weapons according to the orders of General Feltz von Bellu.

At 5:35 pm, a telegram sent a report from Han Wu's front line command to the Expeditionary Force Command:

"The Front Expeditionary Force fully implemented the command of the headquarters and completed the task of defeating and eliminating the surrounded German group on the west bank of the Somme... General Feltz von Bellu led eleven German generals and 21,874 German officers surrendered, and the battle in the west bank of the Somme has ended."

Telegrams are simple. But who knows how heavy the expeditionary force paid behind this simple telegram?

Victory.

When this telegram and the German army were ordered to surrender, the entire west bank of the Somme was filled with joy. The soldiers who survived the cruel battle were lucky enough to shoot into the sky with all kinds of weapons. These extremely tired soldiers shouted, laughed, hugged, and jumped happily; there were shouts of "We won. Victory". The soldiers who had just experienced the rain of bullets were filled with tears in their eyes, but more soldiers lay on the ground with a breath of relief, on this battlefield filled with smoke and stench of corpses, when they were lying there, tears flowed down from each of their faces...

Victory.

On the east bank of the Somme River, the German army had a fierce counterattack for half a month. It suddenly stopped at 5:00 pm, and it was meaningless. The originally shaky front was still in the expeditionary force. Faced with a sudden stop of attack, after learning that the West Coast troops had completed an annihilated attack on the German army, He Sui looked at the trenches with excitement, looked at the tired faces covered with smoke and soil around him, muttering to himself:

"Is it really over?"

He looked at the battlefield in front of him, with piles of burnt rubble and steel everywhere. This battlefield soaked in blood was quiet now.

On the West Bank, the soldiers celebrating victory were beating and cheering on the battlefield, but the cheers of the soldiers could no longer awaken many soldiers lying here.

On the west bank of the Somme River, on the muddy battlefield stained with blood, there were destroyed German fortresses and artillery, and the battlefield was full of expeditionary forces and German corpses. Death retained this cruel picture for people's vision. Every inch of land on the battlefield was full of traces left by artillery fire and gunpowders, and on the muddy battlefield, the black land burned by artillery shells was exposed.

The captive team, which could not be seen at first sight, was slowly walking towards the Allied Position they had dreamed of breaking through. At this moment, their messy beards were hung with soil. Many people had no energy on their faces, and some were just tired. The long-term battle had already made them exhausted. The military lunch boxes on their belts made a jingle sound, causing people to shackles on their hands.

This army, which once wanted to conquer the entire Europe and was even a bit arrogant, is now stepping towards the station and towards the prisoner-of-war camp of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

This is an unprecedented victory for the Allies!

When he opened his eyes, what was reflected in his eyes was the dirty and dark yellow ceiling. At this time, he only felt his ribs hurt, and he felt a sharp sting every time he breathed.

Where is this place?

Trying to move his body, as he tried, he felt that the bones in his joints were as if they were dispersed, and his body was exhausted and sore. At this time, he found that gauze was tied to his left hand, and then a cold and hard face with strange lines appeared into his eyes. He was a military doctor.

When he saw this military doctor, he tried hard to open his mouth, and the severe pain all over his body made his lips even tremble.

"If you are asking, did we win? Then, now what I can tell you is that we won, the Germans on the West Bank surrendered, and we captured almost 22,000 German soldiers, which was a real victory for the Allies two years since the war broke out."

The military doctor with a cold and hard face and indifferent eyes said in a plain, seemingly without any turbulence. In his calmness and coldness, he could see clearly the expeditionary military doctor's clothing on the military doctor's body.

Victory!

Finally, we won!

Hearing this good news, he closed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He won, they won, and their sacrifice was worth it.

The military doctor glanced at the wounded soldier with a smile on his face, but he sighed in his heart. As a military doctor, he has seen too many deaths in the past half month, for this victory. How many people have died?

How many people are still alive?

Here, in this field hospital, wounded soldiers die almost every minute. When those wounded soldiers are dying, they are not calling "for the motherland", they are yelling "mother" and shouting the names of their relatives, and dying with regret. Only these living people will care about victory, who? Who will care about those dead?...,

They may be alive, but... more people die!

“This is back to you,”

This said, putting a small hard object beside his bed.

"You have been protecting this before you faint, which must be something very important to you."

When the doctor put the small object on the table, he saw the pocket watch and his father appeared in his mind. It was a gift from his father after he chose to join the army. At this time, the shell of the pocket watch had been squeezed and deformed by the pressure of the explosion. He endured the severe pain and stretched out his left hand, hugged the pocket watch in his arms, and he used his fingertips to feel the concave contour of the war eagle.

"There were ninety-seven stitches all over the body. In addition to the external trauma, three ribs and one leg bone were broken, and there were ruptures in the lungs and liver,"

The military doctor frivolously said while looking through the records:

"If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that you could survive. Your recovery ability is indeed greater than that of many people and first-class soldiers. Many soldiers with the same injuries as you have died and have been bleeding for a long time. The commanders threw everyone to the front line. All those who can scoop the guns are you. They also rely on the nurses and those female nurses to carry you from the front line to the ambulance under the rain of bullets!"

While speaking, the military doctor had a strong dissatisfaction or anger on his face.

"Is it worth it after so many people died?"

Just as his words fell, he jumped up suddenly, and he didn't care about the pain of the rupture of the wound and grabbed the neckline of the military doctor. In his opinion, the military doctor's words were enough to make him beat him to death.

"What did you say!"

"Please calm down,"

The military doctor still said in a slow voice.

"We are for the country and the nation. If we win this battle, our country will have an international status and no one dares to underestimate our China anymore."
