【2nd Update】

In the early morning of June 8, the First Army of Lucrea, which had taken advantage of the precious eight hours of the night to complete the regrouping, made a big turn and pounced on the French army that had intercepted its tail, and the French and British allied forces also realized that they had seized the golden opportunity, and Marshal Xia Fei had ordered a counteroffensive on all fronts to cooperate with the decisive battle of cutting off the German front on the periphery.

At 7 o'clock, the 8th Division of the 6th Army of the French Mauroli and the 3rd, 4th, and 9th Armies of the Lucre Corps, which had taken the lead in the battle, broke through to the Olqua River.

After all, the Ludendorff Corps and the Bíró Army on the left flank would inevitably attack the French who cut into the defense line at the same time, although the French Sixth Army was quite powerful, but he believed more in the brilliant combat power of the German First Army, but the French Fifth Army, which had lost its armor and ran like a rabbit yesterday, turned over and reorganized itself and followed after a night.

"Order, immediately put the Fifth Army into attack the right flank of the Maolaoli Army, and strive to defeat the opponent quickly!" Lukru gave the battle order in a hurry, and as the commander of the First Army of the Empire, he could not accept such a predicament under any circumstances.

Twenty miles away, Bíró's Army was also under heavy attack from the right flank of Paris, and the French Fourth Army, which had been half-dead, began to launch a multi-pronged attack early in the morning with the intention of pinning it down. After an emergency communication with Ludendorff. Army Group Birro began to move towards the positions of the Ludendorff corps in the center. An attempt was made to take over the attack area of the two armies, so that Ludendorff's Third Army could move closer to Lukru's corps and annihilate the French corps that had cut into the battle line.

A small reconnaissance plane with a striking iron cross painted on its wings swept over the position of Ludendorff's Army Group in the cone-shaped line of attack, and then cautiously continued to fly towards the city of Paris. Not the Germans either, but two young Chinese field observers.

Tian Dabing sat in a slightly higher position next to the pilot, and he was fiddling with the celluloid camera fixed on the left with a stand, and the cabin was not enclosed, so that he and Shen Dong, who was sitting in the front, could only communicate with gestures, but this was obviously not a big problem......

He stared and took a telescope to look at the fierce artillery fire that was raging on the dark gray earth a few hundred meters below, and the Germans made a big mistake and looked at the sky. In this huge plain area, only 2 armies were originally arranged. And it was constantly maneuvering to the southeast, and in the end, the French threw a heavy punch and hit this soft underbelly.

Now, the fists of the French are obviously not easy either, with the core position as the center, the two German armies have drawn out powerful attack forces and slammed the two wings of the French fist, hoping to cut off this fist, or at least stuff it back...... However, the Frenchman who can hit this heavy punch is obviously not stupid at all!

The big camera lid was carefully opened and closed, Tian Dabing nervously fiddled with this big guy, after the early glass film was changed to celluloid film, this thing was finally put on the plane by the engineer, but, it is really inconvenient to use, but this is already an extremely perfect reconnaissance machine!

Left...... Tian Dabing screamed, but immediately realized that his colleagues in the front seat couldn't hear at all, and immediately patted the other party's left shoulder, and the small plane immediately turned sideways, biased to the left wing, just south of the huge Eiffel Tower, he clearly saw that on the huge square, at least tens of thousands of French troops were assembled, and they were driving in simple cars to the direction of the main battlefield in the west, and farther away, there were also French troops with different flags.

When the plane swept past the forward position of the Lukru Corps, the gunpowder smoke on the ground made Tian Dabing deeply feel the frenzy on the battlefield at an altitude of several hundred meters, and a violent explosion red cloud rose up, even at such a high altitude, he still saw what seemed to be the broken bracket, severed limbs, and steel helmets of the German-made MG8 heavy machine gun being projectile into the air dozens of meters high...... The same red clouds are constantly rising everywhere on the ground battlefield, although it is difficult to see the battle situation in the smoke clearly, but the French army that is slowly gathering in the distance makes him feel that the battle situation is not optimistic!

At 10 o'clock, when the reconnaissance plane in which the soldier Tian was riding turned to Serge to return, the advance of the Lucreo Corps had launched a full-scale siege of the French Sixth Army, which was tightly holding a small piece of high ground.

The 1900 heavy machine gun of the French Hodchsky spewed fierce gunfire, reaping the lives of the German soldiers who were constantly advancing forward, and the heavy machine gun groups on both sides quickly became the first target of the opponent's direct field artillery, at a distance of two or three thousand meters, the hit of the artillery was fatal, an exposed heavy fire point, the time that could continue to fire would not exceed a few minutes, and the mortality rate of machine gunners could reach more than 7 times that of ordinary infantry.

"Report! The French are continuing to pour troops into the zone of engagement on the Olqua River! The French reserves were at least a hundred thousand! ”

"Report! Lieutenant General Ludendorff asked the airship troops to be dispatched immediately and immediately bombarded the combat zone intensively! ”

"Report! General Lukru was sure that he would be able to defeat the Maolaoli army before nightfall...... But he probably didn't know that the Third Army was being besieged by the French Fifth and Ninth Armies! ”

“……”

The influx of reports was constantly in front of Admiral Falkingham, and the situation on the battlefield was difficult for him, the commander-in-chief, to grasp even more, and what made him laugh and cry was the telegram of commendation from Berlin, where Wilhelm II had signed a commendation order for the Western Theater of Operations last night, especially the Lucree Corps, which was pursuing the escape of the French Fifth Army.

Although the results of the previous German army's overwhelming attack did not achieve fruitful results in destroying the enemy and capturing the enemy, the right flank planned by Schlieffen did not use the secret weapons provided by the Chinese side, relying on the strong legs of the German army, and completed the feat of encircling Paris, and in Berlin, the news of the victory that lasted for nearly a month made everyone from Kaiser Wilhelm II to the common people think that the French army was about to be completely wiped out and that the German victory was coming. It is no wonder that Kaiser Wilhelm II sent a telegram of commendation to the front-line corps in the midst of fierce fighting.

When Admiral Falkingham was thinking about when to put the last Fourth Army at hand, Colonel Muller, a staff officer of the headquarters, hurriedly accompanied Tian Dabing in, "General, during the flight reconnaissance, we found that a large number of French troops were assembled in the southern suburbs of Paris, and some French troops were marching to the war zone, and it was estimated that there would be no less than 100,000 French reserves!" Moreover, in the rear of General Lukru's First Army, the French Fifth Army was approaching! ”

The news brought by Tian Dabing made Admiral Falkingham immediately realize that he had to make a decision now, although he really looked down on the French Fifth Army, which was still a reservoir dog yesterday, but if it was gathered in the rear of the Lukeru Army, it would inevitably pose a serious threat to the situation of the entire battle situation, although it stands to reason that the French of the Fifth Army had chased after him before, and the number of soldiers who fell behind and broke up may be tens of thousands.

However, by now, an unfavorable factor can no longer be dealt with simply, and yesterday was a very good situation, and the French were about to turn it over in one day......

General Gallieni, commander of the Paris garrison, stood on a high platform on the side of the Place de la Concorde, waved his hand and saluted another group of troops who were ready to set off, the development of the battle situation was exactly as he expected, and the old Mauri army did not live up to the expectations of him and Marshal Xia Fei, the German First Army, known as the elite of the German army, failed to break through the two wings of the old Mauri army in a single day.

This meant that he could continuously send a steady stream of soldiers from the Paris defense zone into the battlefield and constantly consolidate the defensive positions established by the Old Mauri Army, while the German Legion, which was eventually cut off, had few strategies to choose from......

Retreating in front of hundreds of thousands of British and French troops would undoubtedly mean huge battle losses, or the choice to continue to besiege the French entry point in the center with the German army on the left flank, this choice was even more fatal, once the Fifth Army, the Third Army, and the Ninth Army on the periphery were outflanked, and the Germans could only face the tragic end of being crushed by each one.

"Pierre, the two regiments that have just been sent out, how many reserves can we draw in 24 hours...... I need to mobilize all the forces I can, including new recruits! "General Gallerien turned very resolutely and gave his plan to the chief of staff, this sturdy old man, who had a more decisive character than Marshal Xiafei, and had always given the most direct orders, although the bearded Marshal Xiafei had always been his superior.

"General, there are still 2 divisions on the British side that are being replenished, and they can be put into battle in 5 hours at most, after the reorganization of the Second Army, there are still 7 divisions that can be put into battle in two days, and the Paris Recruit Corps can organize at least 10 regiments ......"

At this moment, a cavalry officer suddenly rushed into the square, and ran to Gallieni in a panic under the leadership of the guards, "General, Sir French has sent an urgent report that the core position of the British First Army has been broken through by the Germans, and the German army is rushing towards the old Mauri Army!" ”

"What!" Gallieni couldn't help but ask loudly, his body trembled, and he almost sat down, how could this be? The British Legion under Sir French had 6 divisions and nearly 100,000 men, and only one of the right flanks of the German Second Army was intercepted. Could it be that Britain has become soft-boned!
