Almost at the same time as the first gunshot was heard from the German position, He Sui, who was originally standing on the ladder, suddenly "flyed" out of the trench like a fired artillery shell. At the same time, the officers jumped out of the trench one after another.

, the piercing crow-like whistle echoed inside and outside the trenches. According to the plan, as soon as the sneak attack was successful, the reserve teams of the two regiments would immediately enter the battlefield.

While the reserves were entering the battlefield, the frontline artillery observers in the rear almost simultaneously issued orders to the phones in their hands:

"Artillery fire covers the enemy's second-line position to attack the enemy's reinforcements! Long-range artillery suppresses the firepower of the enemy's artillery group!"

The artillerymen who had been waiting for a long time immediately followed the order and began to spray artillery shells at the German second-line positions. Suddenly the flames from the muzzles suddenly tore open the dark night! First the first division's own artillery group, and then the French support artillery group,

The long-range heavy artillery group parked at the rear also joined in the bombardment.

The artillerymen of the two countries, who had been nervous for most of the night, finally used all their accumulated strength. At this time, all the artillery fired at their highest rate of fire, and thousands of artillery shells accurately covered the German second-line positions and other areas.

On the road to move forward for reinforcements, on the trench.

At the moment when the shells fell like a storm, the German position was lit up by the flames of the explosion. At this moment, the darkness seemed to disappear. This cold early spring night was burned hot at this moment.

"kill!"

Although he was the commander of the First Division, He Sui was just like an ordinary soldier at this time. After he jumped out of the trench, the infantrymen of the two reserve regiments quickly jumped out of the trench with machine guns and went to the front for reinforcements.

, everyone is running forward desperately. For them, now, their running is not only for victory, they must break into the trenches where the fighting is happening in the shortest time possible, and cooperate with the assault troops to mop up the German army.

Defeat the enemy and welcome the German counterattack. If possible, quickly expand deep into the enemy to show off the results!

What's more important is that everyone from officers to soldiers knows that now, they are actually competing with death for time. Now the commando caught the Germans off guard and bought them precious time, and they must

Before the Germans could react, they rained artillery shells into the no-man's land between the two armies, and rushed through this no-man's land that was called "no man" but was actually "death."

According to the battle plan, the reserves of these two regiments are the real giant wave. This giant wave will suddenly rush towards the German second-line position. They will use the most violent attack without giving the Germans any time to react. This wave will

The initial success or failure of the battle is determined by the assault force, but the final victory is determined by these two reserve regiments. Compared with the assault force of the first regiment, they will suffer greater casualties. During the attack, they

Need to endure the fiercest bombardment.

But in the end, they are very likely to win. And it all depends on their speed, just one second faster. In the world, the Chinese team may have various natural shortcomings. When European and American countries use trains to conduct

When the troops maneuver, most of the time, the Chinese ** team can only rely on marching on foot. For this reason, long-distance marching has been the focus of troop training since the Beiyang Army era. After the formation of the expeditionary force, the 5-kilometer armed force originated from the Jiangsu Army.

Cross-country has been included in the training syllabus, and the intensity of combat training is beyond everyone's imagination. The first is physical fitness. The intensity of the expeditionary force's physical training is unimaginable for other countries' armies. Soldiers have to undergo high-intensity physical training every day.

, in order to improve personal physical fitness, when officers and soldiers open their eyes every day, what awaits them is a 5-kilometer cross-country race with weights. If they don't finish it in 19 minutes, then they don't have to run - because that means that if they are on the battlefield, they will have been reimbursed.

Well, back in China many officers and soldiers were able to score 17 and a half minutes...

At this time, their speed was faster than during domestic training. Everyone performed the best armed cross-country performance ever. The mines that originally remained in the no-man's land were exerted by them at this time.

A soldier steps on a landmine, but the force of the mine explosion cannot stop the people behind him from continuing to advance. At this time, nothing in the world can stop their attack.

If everything goes well, they can end this battle before Ling Ming arrives.

At this time, the melee in the German trenches was still going on. These German soldiers from Crown Prince William's Corps were indeed very good soldiers. No one dared to doubt this. They were invaded by the enemy in the night.

In the sneak attack, the enemy used a large number of automatic weapons, and the reinforcements in the rear were cut off. The soldiers who were resting in the shelters were buried alive by grenades, and the machine gunners on the machine gun fort were either stabbed to death with bayonets or flamethrowers.

Burned to death. In this chaos, the officers could not command the troops at all, but they still fought on their own and resisted as much as possible. The machine gunners dragged the machine guns from the firing point and opened fire in the trenches.

In order to block the enemy's attack, he even did not hesitate to hit himself and the enemy together.

Many injured German soldiers did not hesitate to fire grenades to die with the enemy. When the enemy's grenades were thrown, they would also jump on the grenades and use their own bodies to protect their comrades around them. The reason why they were so self-motivated

The spirit of sacrifice is just to buy some time for the comrades to interrupt the enemy's sneak attack.

At this time, behind these German troops were enemy artillery fire, and in the trenches were extremely ferocious enemies. They had nowhere to retreat! Although the German troops performed extremely bravely and fully lived up to their name as an army, such unorganized resistance

But it makes no sense here, these resistances are like an egg against a stone.

In the eyes of the German officers and soldiers, these small enemies were shouting words they could not understand. They opened the trenches with hand grenades and then fired with portable machine guns. Finally, they used bayonets to mop up. Occasionally, they would also use flamethrowers. For flamethrowers,

The Germans were no strangers to flamethrowers. In fact, they were the ones who put the flamethrower on the battlefield in this battle. However, they did not expect that these sneak attack troops would bring heavy flamethrowers that needed to be dragged with oil pipes.

The movements of these enemies are extremely agile. When they move, they are like a fire dragon in the trenches, sweeping through every gap in the trenches. The remaining corpses of the German troops in the trenches almost fill the trenches, and more Germans

The soldiers were buried alive in the shelter!

Where did this group of evil spirits from hell come from?

Almost every German officer and soldier has such a question in his mind. For many people, they don’t know who their enemies are until they die! On the German position that was attacked, nearly two regiments of German troops were

In this short and fierce sudden attack, not only did they suffer heavy losses, they even lost their command and complete organization. Many frightened soldiers jumped out of the trenches and fled backwards, but in the blink of an eye they were blown to ashes by artillery fire.

When the German troops near the assault point tried to reinforce this area, they were met with unprecedented strafing. The soldiers in the machine gun bunker at the command joint operated German Maxim machine guns and rained bullets on the German troops on both wings. These machine gun bunkers were in

During the construction process, the defense of the two wings had already been fully considered to prevent the enemy from expanding their positions infinitely along the trenches after the flanks were breached. At this time, the machine gun forts cooperated with the artillery groups in the rear to deal an unprecedented heavy blow to the Germans.

.

The German front line is about to change hands!

At this time, the German army in the rear finally reacted after a brief panic. The first thing to react was the artillery. Although the artillery group in the rear of the German army was not clear about the situation in front, after receiving the order, it immediately followed the calibrated map.

The operation is to carry out artillery bombardment on the no-man's land between the two armies. This is a normal counterattack. It does not attack the enemy troops close to the front line, does not attack the enemy's position, and only attacks the no-man's land, thus blocking the opponent's subsequent troops.

….

The German troops on the second line were completely unaware of the situation on the front line. Even the telephone soldiers did not have time to issue a report on the situation on the front line, and their reinforcement lines were blocked by enemy artillery fire. When the German troops on the second line were

When the reserve team was preparing to reinforce the front line along the trench, they were hit head-on halfway. The soldiers carrying captured German heavy machine guns operated several heavy machine guns and blocked the trench tightly, as well as some soldiers.

They were looking for German grenades. German grenades were copied from Chinese Type II grenades. In fact, after the Jiao'ao Incident, Chinese long-handled grenades quickly became popular all over the world. When they found the German grenades, they

Cluster grenades were continuously bundled and thrown towards the reinforcing German troops.

When the assault troops were desperately trying to prevent the German troops from counterattacking along the trenches, although the reinforcements behind them tried their best to speed up, some officers and soldiers still failed to escape the German artillery blockade. The quality of the German artillery was extremely excellent.

Moreover, compared to the French army, their artillery was more powerful and their reaction was slower, but their counterattack was still as fierce as before!

During the battle between the two armies, the night sky had been completely turned into day by artillery fire. The offensive formations of the two infantry regiments had been dispersed as much as possible, but there were still figures of officers and soldiers being swallowed up by artillery fire, and their bodies were blown up in the artillery fire.

They had to be crushed, but they had been prepared for this! For these red-eyed officers and soldiers with only one thought left in their minds, death no longer mattered to them.

When the troops made a full-scale assault, they had ordered the logistics troops to arm themselves and serve as the last wave of reserves. Li Guohui was in the shelter, holding the telescope and watching the fire on the opposite side. At this time, the fire and smoke from the explosion had already overwhelmed the Germans.

The front line was completely submerged. The phone rings in the shelter were ringing crazily. The command post was also extremely busy now. They had to coordinate the front and rear, constantly accept the requirements from the front, and pass them on to the rear. Forced by the sound of artillery, those

The staff officers and communications officers could only yell and repeat the orders.

"Mr. Chief of Staff, you have succeeded!"

Amidst Nellul's congratulations, Li Guohui strode up to the staff officers who were on the phone. At this time, his face tensed up, and the flash of artillery fire shone through, making his face dim and bright.

Ignoring Nellul's congratulations, he shouted to his staff:

"Immediately tell Captain Sun and order him to lead the third batch of reserve troops to kill in ten minutes. Tell him to do whatever it takes!"

Now, as the chief of staff, he must grasp the situation on the battlefield. Although the division commander went with the army and carried a radio station, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly. He could not wait until the division commander's order was issued before making the final wave of preparations.

At that time, whichever side's reserve team reaches the battle line first will be able to win the battle.

Then he shouted to the staff colonel who was responsible for coordinating the rear artillery group.

"Tell the French guys that we are working hard, and they must fight hard too. As long as they can suppress the German artillery fire, I can take down the German Fort de Suviera!"

Li Guohui, who usually had a smile on his face, looked livid now, as if he had never been so serious. This was the first time the expeditionary force went to the battlefield. As chief of staff, he was under considerable pressure, and now he has reached this level.

.He no longer needs to think about other issues.

Before the expeditionary force set off, both the president and the prime minister made it very clear that they could accept any casualties. For one casualty, they would supplement it with ten. The only requirement for them was to fight a few good battles and defeat the Chinese team.

The majesty and dignity of China!….

Now, the only thing he cannot accept is the result of failure. After He Sui followed the order to attack with the front-line troops, the First Division has completely delegated power to Chief of Staff Li Guohui. Now the only thing he needs to do is to do everything possible

Fight this already victorious battle more beautifully and achieve more results!

Listening to the chief of staff's order, Major Nellul was stunned. In fact, for the French military headquarters, they never thought that the Chinese could capture the German front-line positions. Even in their opinion, this

The small battle was just a battle that broke the Chinese people's confidence in the battlefield. In the end, they "collected" the Chinese troops and distributed them to various French troops. But now, the situation on the battlefield has developed beyond his expectations.

Imagine, after witnessing the performance of this group of elites. In his opinion, the most important thing for these Chinese people now is to "keep the honor they have already won!". If they lose, they have already won.

of honor, they...

"Your Excellency, this is your first time participating in this kind of war. Please stay calm...The Germans reacted very quickly. For your army, the most important thing now is to defend the position, not..."

"I have confidence in my troops! I believe we can capture the second-line position and Fort de Sauvre!"

Li Guohui refused Major Nellul's reminder without hesitation. Now, the only thing he needs is victory. In his opinion, tomorrow, all the newspaper headlines in France and the UK will be about the First Division of the Expeditionary Force.

, the honor of the expeditionary force is already within reach, but what he needs is shock, shock to the whole world. I believe this is what Beijing wants.

At this time, Pétain made a call from Avitz's headquarters. A staff officer who knew French took the call and acted as an interpreter between Pétain and Li Guohui. After receiving the report from the front, he was shocked and said

Pétain, who was speechless, first expressed his congratulations to Li Guohui and the First Division. Their sneak attack completely disrupted the German defense system. The German frontline troops called for help almost clearly on the radio to the headquarters of the German Fifth Army, thinking that

After they suffered a surprise attack, it was difficult for them to survive until the next night, and they needed reinforcements from the general reserve team.

Then Pétain said very directly.

"Now that your army has suffered unprecedented casualties and won unprecedented glory, as an ally, France will not abandon its friends and has ordered the 21st Army to prepare to enter the battlefield to replace those who suffered serious losses.

The first division..."

Going down the mountain to pick peaches!
