Zeebrugge, a port city in northern Belgium, was now the headquarters of Admiral Tirpitz. In fact, not only were the entourage very curious about why the marshal chose the Western Front, where the land battlefield was the most fierce, to locate the headquarters, but even Britain and France could not understand it after receiving the information. It is very close to the front line, and if the artillery on the opposite side is bold, it can cover it with fire at any time. To be able to exchange an artillery position for a marshal, anyone will be willing.

But there were many German generals like Tirpitz who did this strangely, and Marshal Erich von Ludendorff, who had their headquarters directly in the town of Cambrai, as if they were not at all worried about their attractiveness. Just when everyone was still thinking that this was a death seeking, General Robert Nivel, the supreme commander of the British and French forces on the Western Front, received a telegram from the front. All of these telegrams say that the Germans have launched a frontal offensive, but there is no detailed explanation of what the battle will be, only the emergence of new phrases such as "fast steel monster".

A microcosm somewhere on the Western Front in Europe -

When the German armed transporters encountered an excessively wide trench, they would take out various tools from the engineering vehicles in the rear and accelerate the reinforcement above the bunkers cut in the trenches, and then let the armed vehicles continue to move forward, and such a scene was spread throughout the Western Front.

While General Nilvi anxiously waited for more detailed information to arrive, a telegram of the loss of the Mazagrand Line was already in his hand. The Mazagrand Line was located 40 kilometers northwest of Verdun, and was called the Mazagrand Line because of the fact that its rear was a supply town for the battlefields of the Western Front. The loss of the Mazagrand Line was tantamount to cutting a quick opening in the fortified Western Front to Paris. In terms of importance, Mazagran is still above Verdun. As an important town, Mazaglang's defense force is certainly not weak, more than ten kilometers to the north is the Aisne River, and there are more than 600,000 troops deployed along the line, and Nivelle can't figure out how it was broken through so quickly.

As the commander-in-chief, of course, Nivelle would not easily surrender Mazagrand to the German army, and hurriedly ordered the French 11th, 19th, and 29th armies in Verdun to quickly block the passage for the Germans to continue southward, and dispatched several reserve divisions from Reims to support Mazagrand from the west, hoping to save this place. Nevelle's rapid response was not without effect, the four reserve divisions from Reims totaling more than 60,000 people arrived at the battlefield in only four hours with light equipment, at this time the city of Mazagrand was in a sea of fire inside and outside, the battlefield launched a charge and a counter-charge almost at the same time, the French soldiers who did not retreat fought to the death in the fields, woods, and roads and German soldiers fought flesh and blood, and from time to time you can still see the fire snakes spit out by the firefighters on both sides, crying, and screaming to the sky. Wave after wave of German troops launched a frantic attack, and the French army was doing the same thing. At this time, the artillery was useless, and watching the soldiers in front of him fall one by one, General Louis Cardona, who had no reinforcements, sent the artillery and even the men to the battlefield. Seeing the clearly visible faces of the approaching German troops, the French reinforcements finally arrived.

The battle for Mazagrão lasted from noon to the evening of the next day, and the corpses of both sides had filled the fields and roads in front of the town, and even the blood from the woods had merged into a stream, but the battle between the two sides continued, and there was no intention of stopping. The 11th, 19th, and 29th armies from Verdun also rushed to the town of Mazagrand under the cover of night and were directly incorporated into the battle waiting sequence.

One division, two divisions, three divisions, General Louis Cardona did not know how many men had been put here, he only knew that the four reserve divisions that dared to come to support at the front were all lying outside the town, except for a small part that was being treated. The 19th Army, one of the three armies that dared to come from Verdun, was so strong that it no longer existed, but the German army outside the town was still constantly investing in vital forces.

He was tired, but Luis Cardona, who had not closed his eyes since the collapse of the defensive line and retreated into the town, did not dare to close his eyes.

Neville, who was sitting in the rear, was no longer looking at Mazagrand at all, because he found that not only Mazagland, but also Dunkirk, Ypres, Lille, Yarra, Perron, and Rafael in the north had been broken by the Germans. It would be a lie to say that he is not panicking now, and in less than two months from the hands of Marshal Petain, the supreme command has been lost, and the defense line has almost been lost, and such a dereliction of duty, even if it is stabilized, it will inevitably be dismissed.

While Nivelle was trying his best to fill in the gaps, Brusilov on the Eastern Front received a direct order from the Tsar.

Attack with all your might!

This is the Tsar's original words, when Brusilov was still questioning the authenticity of this telegram, he also received the war on the Western Front from the rear, he thought that the German army was overwhelmed on the Eastern Front, but at this moment he felt that the previous German army may be guiding the sight of the Western Front, focusing on the Eastern Front, gathering forces on the Western Front to have a key decisive battle. The reason for this, he thinks, is that the previous summer offensive was too smooth, and the overall advance was more than 100 kilometers in one go, and the German border could almost be seen a little further on. The reason why he didn't move forward was not because of insufficient strength, but because the supplies were not enough, the rapidly lengthened and widened front turned the already very bad logistics into a disaster, and there were more and more hungry soldiers, if it weren't for the Tsar's strict order for him to hold the current defensive line, he would have taken the initiative to retreat a distance to make the supplies no longer so uncomfortable, and the supplies needed by the Russian army of more than two million people every day even needed three times as many farmers to solve.

Based on the information obtained, Brusilov believed that His Majesty the Tsar had received pressure from Britain and France to cause some trouble on the Eastern Front.

Brusilov, who had already had a predetermined plan, randomly ordered to start a key breakthrough from their respective defensive lines to the nine army groups deployed along the route by telegram, and a major battle on the Eastern Front was about to begin.

Vance, the young rural guy officially became a company of Ukrainians because he captured two officers. With the rank of second lieutenant, he didn't have a proper hat, and even his clothes were picked off by a dead Russian second lieutenant officer in the field hospital, and those bullet holes were plugged by sewing and repairing. On this day, he received an order from his superiors to lead the company to launch its first charge.

It was a sunny day, and Adrian had long since stopped looking at the non-functional history book, and was busy dealing with the problems that came back from all over the Eastern Front with the assistance of Falkenson. Fortunately, he was young and quick to accept, and Marshal Falkensen's assistance and guidance made him quickly begin to look like him. In fact, in the original plan, there was no such plan as Adrian as commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, but Marshal Falkenson continued to serve as him, but Marshal Falkenson excused himself from his advanced age and asked the General Staff to find someone else. Although Adrian also resigned, and recommended Hoffman to the General Staff, Hoffman pushed back directly as it was, and recommended Adrian by the way, and finally Adrian no longer refused, and agreed.

Vance lifted the Mauser rifle in his hand, and in the muzzle of it was a polished bayonet, a captured trophy, with few bullets, but he felt that he could not use it at all, only a suitable bayonet would suffice.

As an officer behind him blew the whistle, Vance led the company into a charge, and the sound of Ulla was heard incessantly.

The Germans on the opposite side had already been prepared when the Russian army mobilized, and after dodging a barrage of accurate bullet attacks from the Russian army, the muzzle of the Mark heavy machine gun spewed a long fiery snake, and several Russian soldiers fell wherever they passed.

When Adrian and Falkenson received a telegram from the front, Adrian and Falkenson were not surprised, which was actually expected. Contrary to what Brusilov thought, the offensive of the entire Western Front is this feint, and the battlefield on the Western Front, which seems to have a strong lineup, is thriving because of the help of a bunch of famous generals, in fact, everyone knows that the heavy weapon of the armed transport vehicle seems to be very powerful, but in fact, the shortcomings are also very serious. Armed transporters, which can only withstand ordinary bullets, are very likely to cause a large number of casualties once they are hit by artillery, and the most important thing on the Western Front is actually artillery. At the beginning, the British and French forces on the Western Front were able to retreat, but as long as the commander held the key pass at any cost, there would be no situation where the defense line was completely lost, and at most the defense line would only be moved back in an orderly manner. In order to create a decisive offensive of the German army on the Western Front, Hoffmann deliberately chose Mazagrand, the most critical front-line supply town in eastern France, and the symbol of the pass was greater than the practical significance.

Adrian stood up and said, "Operation Bag Mouth begins. Then the telegraph operator quickly conveyed the order.
