When he came to Thieriburg to meet Ludendorff, he found that Ludendorff was also a little depressed, although he didn't show it, he was just pretending to be calm.

Originally, he expected Fort Thierry to be captured in just one day, but he did not expect that there was an American division nearby, and under the rapid march of the American MacArthur, this American division actually broke through the defensive line arranged by Ludendorff and reinforced it to Fort Thierry, so that it took him an extra day to capture this fortress.

In this way, the Entente was given time to prepare, and at once a dozen divisions were assembled to attack him, Ludendorff felt that he could not defend himself, and after Hitler withdrew to Thieriburg, the German army immediately found a hole and returned to the German line.

This raid on Fort Thierry was neither a failure nor a success.

At the same time, the Entente launched a powerful general offensive, and the main breakthrough of the operation was chosen in Amiens, with more than 20 divisions, more than 2,000 artillery pieces, and more than 1,000 aircraft. Facing the Entente is the Second Army, its defensive position is very weak, only 800 artillery pieces and 106 aircraft, from the morning, more than 100,000 Allied infantry rushed to the German defense line in Amiens, by sunset, the Entente has advanced 11 kilometers deep to the German defensive position, in one day, the German casualties nearly 30,000.

In the end, the German high command moved Ludendorff's troops who had just withdrawn to the direction of Amiens, only to slowly resist the strong offensive of the Entente, in this battle, the 400 tanks dispatched by the Entente became a sharp weapon to tear open the German defense line, the tanks that suddenly appeared in the dense fog did not kill or injure many German troops, but most of the tanks were not afraid of bullets, and the momentum of the unstoppable rush made the German army frightened, and in the face of the powerful tanks of the Entente, there were even six infantry divisions on the position to escape.

Angry, Ludendorff gritted his teeth, and finally sent a counterattack led by the Berlin regiment to recapture the position.

On this day, which Ludendorff called the darkest day in the history of the war, the escape of six infantry divisions meant that the myth of the invincibility of the German Army was shattered.

The newly added 890,000 U.S. troops and a large amount of material replenishment became the last important straw that pressed the camel's back, and the combat effectiveness of the Allied army was greatly enhanced, while the German army rapidly declined in combat effectiveness because of the long-term battle and little supply.

Hitler's Berlin Regiment was joined by the High Command with two cavalry regiments and an infantry regiment, called a mixed brigade, Hitler was still a lieutenant colonel, but became the deputy brigade commander and also the commander of the Berlin regiment, and the brigade commander was Werner von Friech, the task of the mixed brigade was to maneuver reinforcements near the Hindenburg line to prevent a surprise attack by the enemy.

In September, in order to reward the Berlin regiment for its merits, the high command authorized the Berlin regiment to hold a celebration meeting to celebrate the breakthrough into Paris.

Although the Berlin regiment did not invade Paris, the propaganda to the people was naturally much exaggerated, and at the same time, it could be regarded as a reward for the Berlin regiment's continuous contribution, so the high command agreed to give the Berlin regiment a three-day vacation to celebrate its good life.

"Why don't you lose the money if you wrap it?"

On a meadow, hundreds of soldiers were roasting sheep, drinking wine and playing football, and on a flat field, four people, Busch, Manstein, Brauchitsch, and Hitler, were drinking beer and playing mahjong.

Brauchitsch's mahjong has more cards, this mahjong is not counted, Brauchitsch only compensates the other three people for one mark each, but the charity is gone, this mahjong he should have won five marks, so he is not going to lose four marks.

"Then I fought the landlord and dealt Rommel three more cards, so it is mine, but he has three bombs in his cards, so do I have to pay for three bombs?" Kluge, who was fighting with Rommel and Heinrich at a nearby table, interjected.

"How can fighting the landlord be the same as playing mahjong." Bushi glared at Klug: "Otherwise, you will play mahjong, and I will fight the landlords to see that I don't abuse them." ”

Listening to Busch's words, Klug shrunk his neck, looked at Manstein and shook his head, he was afraid of Manstein, Manstein is a person who is scheming and decisive, and can even guess what the next card is, the last vacation and Manstein played mahjong and almost won a month's salary, so now every time he plays mahjong with Manstein, he is cautious, more nervous than going to the battlefield, for fear of losing only his underwear.

Hitler, who was on the mahjong table, looked at the elites of the Berlin regiment quietly with funny eyes, but he didn't expect that these people liked to fight landlords and play mahjong.

But it was not taught to them by Hitler, but at the beginning of the establishment of the Berlin Regiment, Busch and Falkenhorst came to the Berlin Regiment to congratulate, coincidentally, this Busch was actually the younger brother of the battalion commander Brauchitsch, the two knew each other, although they did not have a deep friendship in the academy, but with this relationship, the two quickly hooked up shoulder to shoulder, and then slowly met other battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders through Brauchitsch, and in this way, the vice of gambling spread in the Berlin Regiment.

Hitler didn't stop it much, the Germans were very disciplined, he was not afraid that the soldiers were addicted to gambling, and there were many gambling games in Europe at this time, but I didn't see how harmful it was, as long as it wasn't gambling in the barracks, the officers wouldn't care.

Although there are also people who are addicted to gambling, but Europeans are extremely self-controlled, few people regard gambling as a serious matter, most of Europeans gamble to relax, as a game to play with friends.

The superiors gave them three days off, they naturally wanted to play as much as they wanted, for the Germans, they attach great importance to vacation, they are strict and meticulous when working, but if they want to be free and happy when they are on vacation, no one cares.

"Let's go, I'm going to play football." In terms of playing mahjong, Busch couldn't beat Manstein, he just won a little money against Hitler and Brauchitsch, but he didn't want to lose, so he carried forward the style of winning money and left, and went to the grass to play football with everyone after speaking.

"This man ......" Brauchitsch was speechless, he had lost a lot of money, and he wanted to win it back.

"Hey, Paulus, come over and play cards."

Manstein said to Paulus, who was watching the game on the sidelines, Paulus subconsciously turned around and found that it was Manstein who was telling him to play cards, and suddenly foamed at the mouth, swayed from side to side, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

I rub, this pretending to be dead is admired, Hitler watched Paulus's performance in amazement, it seems that Paulus also learned the invincibility of Manstein playing mahjong. Schellner, who was running around the court to warm up, happened to run over, and he didn't see Paulus lying on the grass, so he stepped directly on Paulus.

"Hmm!"

Paulus arched his body and covered his life tightly with both hands, and Schellner actually stepped on Paulus's "vital part", and Paulus was really about to faint.

"Haha, let's play Arhat!"

Busch, who was running towards the football field, saw Paulus lying on the grass, and threw himself on Paulus's body with a leap from the air, and shouted for the others to pounce on him, to set a new European record for the height of Arhats.

"Poof!"

At this moment, Paulus really fainted.
