Chapter 22: Powder Ink Debuts (Revision)
"Humph!"
There was a cold snort, and then the door was pushed open, and Marianne's playful voice came from the doorway.
"Look, my sir, you lovely men in your absence. In my eyes, they are like a few pit bulls fighting for bones! ”
"Stand upright!"
Patton, who was educated at West Point, reacted a notch faster than Zhu Binhou and Li Shi's hard work.
"the thief, let this cowardly woman see the joke!"
Li Er, who was standing upright reflexively, glanced at Marianne with a slightly mocking smile curled on her red lips. He found that this "cowardly" woman was very acquainted, and when she heard the password, she also stood upright.
"Disband! Feel free to do so, everyone! ”
Tang Yunyang, who appeared behind Marian, stood up and saluted in return, and then issued a dissolution order.
"Sir, there's new news!"
Zhu Binhou felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know if the decision he had just made was in line with Tang Yunyang's needs.
"What, did you three just quarrel over this?"
The piece of paper in Tang Yunyang's hand was raised, and his bright eyes swept over the faces of the three of them with questions.
Barton was a little embarrassed, although there was no military rank here, but it was obvious that Zhu Binhou's status as the general manager of the company was naturally higher.
"Well, I don't think it's better to send troops!"
Tang Yunyang's words disappointed Li Erzhu, who was showing full of urgent hope on the side, he originally thought that if his big brother Tang who was "not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, and dared to do anything" was here, he would definitely approve of sending troops. But Tang Yunyang's words later made the two tiger generals almost jump with joy, because they were about to participate in the war.
"However, of course we won't be without action, because we are a mercenary company, where can we push away the business that comes to the door!"
Tang Yunyang looked at the eager appearance of Barton and Li Erzi on the side, knowing that these two guys were militants, and he was sure in his heart that this battle must be quite lively.
"The resumption of the German offensive in the direction of Verdun is urgent, and your company is ready to dispatch in this direction at any time......"
"There is also a message from 'that man' about the French troops expected in the direction of Verdun and some other information."
As he spoke, Zhu Binhou found another document from the folder on the side and handed it to Tang Yunyang.
"Hmm, let's open the map first, and let's see how this battle will be fought. Miss Marianne, could you please get us some coffee, I think we'll have to talk for a while! ”
With the sound of spreading out the map of the Verdun region, Tang Yunyang looked at the information that Zhu Binhou had just handed him.
"According to reliable sources, that man will transfer nine infantry divisions and more than 200 aircraft to the Verdun area, totaling about 180,000 men...... In addition, according to the latest intelligence reconnaissance information, the German army may launch an attack in the direction of Nancy in the near future, the combat target is unknown, according to the analysis, it should be a diversion attack, and the strength is about 3~5 divisions......"
As for his previous behavior, the French command lightly interpreted it as an action to confuse the enemy, which shows the means of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain after mastering the media.
With the sound of paper clattering, battle maps spread out on the table. The red and blue arrows on the map clearly mark the latest progress of each step of Verdun, which shows that Zhu Binhou is very serious in performing his duties.
"Barton, tell me what you think"
Tang Yunyang deliberately did not call Li Erpole, although he is now also receiving tactical education at the West Point Military Academy, but it will take a long time to make considerable progress, and now his experience comes more from the training of special forces. As for Barton, I believe that a West Point graduate's analysis of the war situation will not disappoint.
"The Germans are besieging the Verdun area from the north, west and east, and as you can see, the north is the main direction of attack. If we had gotten there, I think the front of Fort Douaumont would have fallen into the hands of the Germans, and we would have been used in this counterattack. This time, I'm going to compliment these bitche-bitched Germans, they couldn't have done a fucking pretty job of attacking the French airfield in the early morning! ”
Needless to say, Barton must have studied the situation in the Verdun direction well. As a belligerent soldier, he had this instinct not to give up on any fight.
"Li Er, I heard Patton's analysis of the battle situation, so what about us, what do you think we should do if we want to restore Fort Douaumont?"
"Hmmm......"
As an irregular officer, Li Erpole is obviously not as good as Patton and Zhu Binhou who know how to do a good job in advance, but his analysis is enough to see this kid's ruthless character.
"First the French attacked the enemy's right flank, and the Germans attacked there for a day, but there was no progress, and the natural forces were damaged. Under the pressure of the French army, the Germans will definitely mobilize reinforcements from the direction of the main attack that has made progress, and then we will concentrate our forces, without artillery preparation, and under the cover of the air, surprise and attack the front of Verdun, as long as we break through and go straight to the German headquarters. The first was to cut the German front, and the second was to destroy his headquarters and leave them leaderless. ”
After asking Li Erpole to say what he came up with on the spot, after striking the east and west. There was a look of excitement on Patton's face, and it was clear that this plan of breaking a point and then grabbing the enemy's vital point was quite to his liking. Zhu Binhou's face was slightly worried, and he was probably a little worried that this plan was too risky.
If there is no good mobility, immediately after breaking through the enemy's line, it is very likely that the German infantry will close the gap in the battle line, and then there is an immediate danger of total annihilation.
In fact, Li Er's thinking is beneficial to staying by Tang Yunyang's side for half a year, although it is inevitable that Nancy will often be affected. Green's bullying. But in his spare time at night, Tang Yunyang gave him a fast and powerful in-depth assault on the mechanized troops he taught, and he hadn't forgotten it.

"Barton, it looks like you agree with that, don't you?"
"Mr. Tang, I have to admit that this guy is a genius commander, although it seems a bit risky, as long as the French army can keep up, I think we can do a good job!"
Hearing their conversation, Zhu Binhou felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he might be too worried. But what Tang Yunyang said below made him understand that he had to look farther.
"The plan is good, but unfortunately it doesn't meet our needs, if we continue to fight like this, then our company will have to close down in less than half a year, because neither of you two has settled the account, and we will lose money if we fight like this!"
