The heavy losses of the French came as promised, and the German groups of heavy artillery of more than 100 mm used this small supply point as a coordinate, and round after round of covering fire, the elevation of this supply point was reduced by two meters. With the exception of twenty armored combat vehicles that had been taken away from the supply point by a French captain named Charles in the name of reconnaissance, almost all of the other 100 wheeled armoured vehicles were smoking ruins.

The Captain Charles, who was supposed to have been wounded for the third time in 1916 at the Battle of Verdun in Duaumont, was stabbed in the thigh with a bayonet and was in a poisonous coma. After being discovered by an enemy patrol, he was taken to the Mayans Hospital, where he was discharged and taken to the Osnabrück prisoner of war camp in Germany.

Thus began his life in prison, which lasted for thirty-two months. In prison, he became acquainted with Colonel Katrou, journalist Rami 61 Rutt and the future Marshal of the Soviet Red Army Tukhachevsky. He did not waste his time in prison, but deepened his knowledge of Germany by reading numerous publications. In the prisoner of war camp, he gave several lectures on strategy and geopolitics on the progress of the war. De Gaulle, a captain, was not willing to be a prisoner. He tried several times to escape and return to the front. But he escaped five times, was captured five times, and was put in a fort or punishment camp each time. Finally, after the end of the war in 1918, he finally returned to his hometown, but he later returned to the battlefield. This time, he was on a military mission in Poland as a volunteer, helping the young Polish army fight the Soviet Red Army from 1919 to 1921 and won a resounding victory.

However, he had always been an infantry officer, and he only began to realize the importance of armored forces at the beginning of World War II, but China's assistance allowed France to have a formed armored force in advance, and also exposed the energetic and exploratory captain to the mode of armored combat in advance.

Although the French did not want to admit it, they continued to try several times to break through the defensive tactics of multiple assaults on a narrow section of the front, but the result was not very effective, and a huge amount of troops were consumed, and the war returned to the state of trench warfare after advancing ten to fifteen kilometers to the east.

To say that this battle is still of positive significance, at least it prompted the great powers to start equipping them with tanks and other types of heavy equipment for breakthrough positions, and developing countermeasure weapons, which led to and inspired the vigorous development of the military industry of various countries during the First World War and the Second World War.

As autumn begins to deteriorate in northeastern France, the fighting will subside due to continuous rain and muddy roads, and by November the two sides will completely cease offensive operations, and the British and French plans for the Somme River will have to be declared a failure. But another completely different army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force arrived, they arrived in Cherbourg in August in a low-key manner when the war was in full swing, but they were not in a hurry to enter the war, and now that both sides were exhausted, and the war was about to turn into silence, this lion from the Far East should let the whiteskins understand what it means to rush forward and what kind of troops are worthy of the title of armored hurricane.

The small, static trenches have their own unique geomorphological features. On the front lines, trench networks and mine lanes have replaced traditional infrastructure such as roads and railways. Many small hills and valleys were not named until the battle began, and some were named after their height, such as Hill 60 on the outskirts of Cambrai. A farmhouse, windmill, quarry or dead tree can be the focus of the feud because they are the most visible sight in the area. These landmarks can be easily destroyed by artillery fire, so they are just names on the map after the battle.

Scenes on the battlefield can have a descriptive name (e.g. the lonely pine tree or the "polygon tree" near Ypres), a humorous name (e.g. Sausage Valley and Mashed Potato Valley on the Somme), the name of a military unit or the name of a soldier ("Monash Vale" named after General John 61 Monash in the Anza Bay). The practice of prefixing the word "dead man" to the name of a place is also popular, and the reason is obvious. Many trench systems are also named "checkerboards" or "grills" because of their shape.

Enemy trenches also need to be named. Many of the trenches were named after what they saw during observation, such as the "German Officers' Trench" in the Anza Bay (where the Allies saw several German officers) or the "Rations Trench" on the Somme (where German grain convoys were found). The British gave the German trenches at the Gingch Battlefield by names for liquor, such as "Beer Trench", "Bitter Trench", "Hop Trench", "Beer Trail" and "Slender Glass Trench". Some other trenches are named after their role in the trench system, such as the "Transposition Trench" and "Relay Trench" in the Somme.

Some parts of the British trench system were named like Monopoly chessboards, such as "Park Road" and "Bond Street". Divisional units in Britain habitually named their trenches after military units, and the result was names such as "Master Trail" (Royal Master Bright Musket Regiment) and "Black Watch Trail" (Black Watch Trail). The Anzacs tend to use soldiers' names.

In the trenches near the second line of the Ojim Trail, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion in Auckland, New Zealand, leaned against the chest wall at the edge of the trench in full armor, their faces were gloomy and their eyes were glazed, yes, they all thought they had survived the damn September offensive, but they were forcibly removed from the leave list by an order from above, and they stayed in this trench for another week, and today was the day they were back in battle.

"Hi sergeant, I heard that we are going to cooperate with a Chinese armored unit, are they still wearing big braids? If you throw your braid in front of you when aiming, will they miss it? ”

"Shut up, O'Keeffe." Sergeant Krone patted Private O'Keeffe's helmet: "The Chinese are also equipped with tanks, yes, it is said to be a tank that is much smaller than the big reptile of the British, damn it, who knows, if the Chinese use their spells to attack, hey, it is to tie some colorful strips of cloth, drink a bowl of dirty wine, and then rush up desperately." Let's not go mad with them, and when the Germans kill them all with their machine guns, we'll retreat. Understand, boy, if you still want to see your mother, do as I say. ”

"Okay, sergeant, I'll listen to you." O'Keeffe tidied up his bullet pouch and might be able to empty a magazine or two before he was hit.

There was no expected artillery fire, but the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion in Auckland still felt that something was wrong, yes, the ground was shaking, and the sand on the edge of the trenches was falling down, making the New Zealand soldiers discouraged, but they didn't care about it, and quickly turned back to find the source of the sound.

When the vibration had turned into a rhythm that made the bones tingle, a cannon barrel poked its head out from the back of the trench, followed by a wide track creaking over the iron frame that had already been erected on the trench and the bridge, and the New Zealand soldiers hurriedly looked to both sides to dodge, if such an iron guy was unstable and smashed down from above, the people below would work in a photo, and even the portrait would be saved.

The same scene kept playing, and O'Keeffe, who was still counting at the beginning, had given up his plan to keep his head down and save himself from being poured into his mouth with sand. However, he silently calculated in his heart, there are no less than 30 tanks passing on these three temporary bridges, and it seems that there are other places that are also passing through tanks, could it be that all the tanks in China are here? Of course not, what participated in the war this time was only the second batch of rotational combat troops of the expeditionary force with the Xuanyuan Jibu instructor as the core.

In addition to Juque's eye-catching performance in the battle of the canal to save the French Fifth Infantry Division, the other three clusters of the Tai'a Battle Group and the Longquan Battle Group also participated in the outpost battle of the Battle of the Somme, launched a surprise attack in the coastal area, pushed the battle line to the Belgian border, and attracted the German army to support the coastal defenders with 5 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions, which objectively disrupted the German defense system, but the rigid French General Command did not make full use of this opportunity at all. On the contrary, a week's artillery bombardment clearly told the Germans that it was a feint, and by the time the British and French launched an attack on the Somme line, five of the seven German divisions had returned, and the two battle groups played little strategic role except for a series of achievements. And the most unfortunate was the Gongbu battle group, they did not come late, but they did not take turns to participate in the battle, but transferred all the equipment to the French army, and the carefully trained apprentices, under the command of the stupid commander-in-chief Xia Fei, were set to be dismembered into parts by the German artillery at the supply point, and the money was made a lot, but the record was a duck egg.

Fortunately, the French army also realized that its own command system was not suitable for commanding armored troops to fight, and they were still very confident in the effect of using wheeled armor as a surprise soldier, so after completing the combat mission for half a year, the four battle groups left all their equipment and only carried small arms on the ship back home. In addition to the victory of the two surprise attacks, the enemy was destroyed by no less than two divisions, almost three times the number of their own, and they also succeeded in making the expeditionary force famous, and this group of officers and soldiers had already experienced the edification of the main battlefields in Europe, and they could be regarded as elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Of course, it also opened the channel for arms trading for the state and the military department, and since then, everything from military daggers to large aircraft and armored vehicles have become the most sought-after goods of the British and French warring countries. In addition, the four bags of pink letterhead harvested by more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in France were also a big gain, so much so that by the time of World War II, many French people actually held Chinese passports, and many Jewish families were exempted from being sent to concentration camps because they had Chinese passports, of course, provided that the young people in your family had the appearance characteristics of Orientals.
