"From now on, you will command the entire second half of the campaign, where troops drawn from the 1st and 2nd Army Groups and troops from the 3rd Army Group will form the Southbound Corps. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info under your direct command, and Moltke Jr. will immediately go to Nancy. He will cooperate with you in this pincer attack. "With the Kaiser finally signing the order to attack, the campaign codenamed Kamaki began!

"I need to remind Your Highness that although we have done our best to draw the best divisions, these troops have experienced at least three consecutive days of fighting, with some losses in personnel and equipment, and the most important thing is the transport capacity, we cannot let these troops advance as fast as they started." Hindenburg, who was in charge of liaison, said to the prince. What he said is the truth, although the elite troops are drawn as much as possible, but I have to say that the state of these troops is not very good, especially the logistics and transportation capacity, I am afraid that it has declined very much.

"So, we're going to use a whole new tactic. We now have 4 days to adjust and replenish, and you will get a document from my staff officer with the minimum equipment and personnel standards of the troops that I need, and do as I say. The prince said.

This battle was really a challenge for the prince, there was not a sufficient number of tanks to open the way, and the air force could not count too much, and the situation of the war reverted to infantry machine guns and artillery. The maneuver situation also changed to a large number of horses and a certain number of cars. Even if things go well, the division-level troops advance at a speed of no more than 25 kilometers per day, and it is thankful that the attack speed can be half this.

While the German Corps was making final preparations for the campaign, the forces of a dozen divisions transferred from the French line and the remnants of the Third Army were engaged in repeated battles and contests with the German Third Army Group in the area along the Marne. Although before the arrival of the French army, the prince had ordered the troops to be stationed on the spot, but it was impossible to establish a complete defense system in a hurry, and this time the German army could not retreat, because the retreat was the Marne, and if there was not even a bridgehead, then this battle could not be talked about.

"We can't retreat, there is a surging river behind us, under the suppression of superior French firepower, we and the pontoon bridge in the rear are intermittent, and the reinforcements must hurry up and pass within four hours after the pontoon bridge is built, because after this time, the French can find out and mobilize enough artillery to destroy or suppress this pontoon bridge." Brauchitsch, commander of the 25th Division of the Third Army Group, recalled the situation in this way.

The French organized the remaining armored forces to launch an attack, but fortunately, the scale was not large, and the French concentrated less than 200 tanks on the two fronts, of which the FT10 tanks with a certain ability to attack the fortification were not even half! AS FOR THE RENAULT AND THE LIKE, IT CAN BE PENETRATED AT CLOSE RANGE WITH A 12.7MM LARGE-CALIBER MACHINE GUN ATTACHED TO THE FIREPOWER COMPANY. Or at medium range, by causing internal caving to kill people by continuous fire.

SO IN THE END, THE BATTLE BECAME A WAR OF INFANTRY AND FIELD ARTILLERY, AND THE NUMBER OF HEAVY ARTILLERY OF THE FRENCH WAS NOT VERY LARGE, AND THE INDIRECT SHOOTING WAS NOT SKILLFUL, AND THE RANGE OF 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS WAS LIMITED. The main firepower of the French was within 5 kilometers, so the French filled the front line with as many machine guns and artillery as possible, which also made the fighting between the two sides more intense.

"The French are attacking again." Brauchitsch said as he looked at the two rapid-fire gun positions not far away, which were constantly sprayed with tongues of fire. ON THIS LINE, THE FRENCH CONCENTRATED TWO 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS ON EACH FLANK, AND THEY ADVANCED THE GUNS TO A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 3,500 METERS, AT A DISTANCE WHERE THE MORTARS COULD NOT REACH, AND AT THE SAME TIME COULD CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE INFANTRY.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BATTLE, BRAUCHITSCH TRIED TO USE 77MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS TO ATTACK THE FRENCH, BUT ALAS, THE FRENCH HAD AN ABSOLUTE NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE, AND WHEN THE GERMAN ARTILLERY COMPANY USED DECOY OR SNEAK ATTACKS TO KILL A FRENCH ARTILLERY BATTERY, A NEW ARTILLERY BATTERY WOULD JUMP OUT OF SOMEWHERE, AND THEN SUPPRESS OR DESTROY THE EXPOSED GERMAN ARTILLERY BATTERY WITH MORE THAN 8 RAPID FIRE ROUNDS PER MINUTE. After fighting out more than 30% of the division's artillery, Brauchitsch decisively abandoned this method of warfare, and the remaining artillery could only be temporarily placed in a place where the opponent could not hit or behind a solid cover. And the French troops, who had gained the advantage in firepower, were even more rampant!

After a few months of war, although the French still used these rapid-fire guns as large rifles when using artillery, it has to be said that artillery skills have also improved to a certain extent. The rapid-fire artillery positions on both sides of the attacking forces formed a network of crossfire, constantly suppressing the firing points of the German positions, and hundreds of shells fell on the positions almost every minute.

The French would first concentrate their fire on the exposed points of support or suspected fire, and then extend the barrage backwards. When a clearance is complete, the two artillery batteries will have a complex cover, and the other will push forward, trying to connect one of the artillery to the close position before the infantry charges.

"We just need to walk over and occupy their positions, we have an absolute superiority in firepower, and in just half an hour we have tilted dozens of tons of ammunition towards the target! Come with us, brothers! "The French officers took the lead in leaping out of the trenches, and half a battalion of French troops formed a dense human wall, with shiny bayonets glistening in the sun. They puffed up their chests, like ancient knights, calmly walking towards the battlefield. Even when passing near the artillery position, some people would wave their hands to the artillery to express their gratitude.

When approaching about 600 meters, the accompanying light machine gun team and mortar gun team will choose a suitable place to deploy, and they will form a new support fire on both sides of the unit, the mortar shells will cut through the air in a curve to smash the trench, and the light machine gun team will block the opponent in the horizontal direction.

The dense bullets and barrage almost formed a rolling wall of flames, rolling back and forth on the surface position like a hurricane, and in the case of a serious shortage of heavy weapons, the German soldiers could only curl up in the anti-artillery holes and cover their ears with their hands before the opponent entered the effective killing distance of their weapons.

Ross clutched the submachine gun in his hand, and the platoon commander in the anti-gun hole diagonally opposite him gestured to him, and the constantly falling earth obstructed his vision. The battlefield environment, which was countless times noisier than the downtown area, and the eardrum that had been shattered, made him half deaf, and he could only judge the situation on the battlefield through the other party's vague expressions.
