Chapter 27: The Assault Begins (Revision)
War is a very wonderful thing, and the victory of a battle often depends on a small accident.
At dawn above the airport in Nancy City is moored the newly built Hawkeye. At this time, the airport was already bustling with excitement as the war approached.
"Mr. Lieutenant, our safety depends on you!"
Ruiwu. Lieutenant Luberry stood on the "H-1" modification, which was half the size of the German airship, and now he knew its current exact name - the "Hawkeye-class early warning airship".
But the name did not make him like his duty, and although the lion whiskey that followed him, and despite the fact that there were as many as 50 soldiers in combat gear around him who were boarding the airship, it did not interest him in the slightest.
Because the long, cannon-like things on the side of the airship can't shoot bullets, they're just high-powered telescopes. Inside the airship are electronic devices that don't make engine sounds. It was these things that were enough to disgust him.
"What's the solution, I'm a soldier, isn't I, Mr. Captain!"
Today, for the first time the "Hawkeye" airship entered the battle. Louberry didn't know what his role meant. Tang Yunyang, who came to see him off as a mercenary of Thunder International, took a step forward and said to Ruiwu in a dignified manner. Luberry gave a military salute.
"Mr. Lieutenant, your soldiers have been trained in reconnaissance, but there is no one who can replace you, because only you can control the air battlefield, and only you can command our combined air forces to fight effectively. So ......"
Ruiwu. Louberry is grumpy, if not for the emir. Major General De Leon wholeheartedly supported this matter, and he would not have been willing to leave his fighter in any way had it not been for his strict orders. And what Tang Yunyang told him now was considered a "high profile", so he quickly interrupted but interrupted him rather roughly.
"Only I was forced to leave my plane, only I became a fool who floated in the air with only a pistol!"
After that, he didn't wait for Tang Yunyang to answer, turned around and boarded the "Eagle Eye". Somehow, he felt that there was nothing left on the ground for him to be nostalgic for, and then the "Hawkeye", which had already completed its preparations, quickly ascended.
"Maybe we have to understand his feelings!"
In the face of this Tang Yunyang, a former subordinate, Tang Yunyang, who is now fully supported by the top level of the French army in all aspects, was greatly supported by Ruiwu. Louberry was treated like this. Jojes. Captain Senot felt the need to say something, and caring for his men was his usual management method.
"Yes, sir, I can understand his feelings. I think if I can't fly my own plane into the sky, I will think this way! ”
The defensive ring of Nancy is not large, the two fronts are 43 and 50 kilometers away from Nancy respectively, and they are the outer defensive ring of Nancy. Originally garrisoned by 10 French infantry divisions, there are now only seven infantry divisions left, which defend the 200-kilometre front outside the city of Nancy.
They were under the jurisdiction of the Nancy City Defense Command, and the infantry at this time were rather lax due to the victories they had seen, and the accurate "prediction" of the direction of the German assault this year. Although three divisions of troops were transferred, there was a big gap on the second front, but the people in the headquarters just couldn't get nervous.
Including the emir, who has now been appointed in charge of this direction. Major General De Leon was equally nervous.
"My 1st Assault Cavalry Division is all here, and aren't there still them outside the city, and Hawkeye is there in the sky to be on duty all day. I don't see any crisis we have, or maybe Don is oversensitive! ”
As the French military, for Tang Yunyang's most supportive general, he trusts Tang Yunyang even more than he trusts the French army. Just think about it, when he was a little colonel, he sang against Xia Fei. Although his political sense made him understand that Xia Fei's future was actually in the dark, he had reached the point where he was responsible for the heavy casualties of the French army the previous year.
However, who could have known that this "Don" appeared in the city of Nancy, with Casser . Merlin's support, coupled with the huge interest of joining the arms company, caused all the other non-military councillors in Nancy to turn to him.
Because of his cooperation, he became the commander of the French 1st Assault Cavalry Division, which had a strong attack force, and the rank of major general was all thanks to this Chinese.
Although his origin is extraordinary and even somewhat suspicious, don't all these coveted benefits make people selectively forget about it? The answer is yes, in the face of the dazzling gold franc and the general's epaulettes, all doubts about Tang Yunyang have long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
In line with his trust in Tang Yunyang, he ordered the French infantry in the front line defense circle to quickly fill the gap in the defensive line caused by the transfer of troops. Although he thought that Tang Yunyang was a little suspicious and overly worried, the facts quickly proved that it was not Tang Yunyang who was sensitive.
The Germans moved, and it was too late to fill the gap at the front. At the front, the French had just received an order from Nancy to move their forces to fill the gap in the second line of defense, when the Germans attacked.
"Uh......h Woo......"
It was the whistling sound of large-caliber shells flying through the air, and when they landed on the ground, the huge explosion sent the civil forts into the sky. Even during the attack of German mine-throwers, entire sections of the trenches were destroyed by heavy artillery fire.
The French soldiers here did not have the fortresses of Verdun, which allowed them to retreat in a fast front and escape the formidable German fire. The soldiers huddled desperately in the corners of the trenches or bunkers, clenching their teeth, and the only thing they could remember at the moment was the Virgin Mary.
"Hurry up, fuck me up, get the damn weapons ready, the Germans are coming!"
One by one, the French officers arched out the dirt that almost buried themselves, brandished their revolvers with red eyes, and shouted at the top of their voices.

According to past experience, when the artillery fire is extended, the soldiers who are not killed in the heavy fire will face the strong attack of the German infantry, which will be the most important test for the infantry on the front line.
When the war began, the means of warfare were updated extremely quickly, and if an officer could not keep this "up to date", then he would be misjudged.
Because it was not a strong force of German infantry that reached the French line at this time, the artillery fire was extended, and it was the Fokker E.III fighters that swooped down as dense as mosquitoes in the autumn fields. They rained bullets from their noses, and 12-kilogram bombs hung under their wings.
The French line of defense was ravaged by the German air power, and the ** of pain arose......
