"Well done boys!"

"The Germans are stupid, don't they know what bait is?"

"The dumber the Germans, the better it is for us, isn't it?"

"That's the truth!"

The conversation came from several men with a star on their shoulders, one of whom looked like a very traditional Scottish man with a round face and the most popular broom mustache of the day under his nose. Haig is currently the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, with the rank of general.

Douglas. On 10 December 1915, Haig replaced the much-maligned French as the new commander of the British Expeditionary Force. The man he spoke to was a French lieutenant general who also had a broom beard under his nose and was about fifty or sixty years old.

The French lieutenant general was not very tall, his name was Robert. Nivelle served as a French artillery officer in the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion. In fact, he should not have been here, but was supposed to command the French 2nd Army on Verdun's side, but due to some personal special needs, he had to receive Douglas. Haig.

There are several other figures with generals on their shoulders, they are either British generals or French generals, and only one major general belongs to Canada judging by the style of the military uniform insignia and the trim of the military uniform.

Robert. Why does Neville need to tie up Douglas. Haig? That's because the French lieutenant general is already brewing to replace Joseph, who is beginning to be controversial. Xia Fei wanted to rely on the support of the British to become the new commander-in-chief of the French army.

"The Germans are cowards, they don't dare to have a head-on battle like warriors, and after using poison gas, they are even more depraved, and they will send elite soldiers to do such stupid things that are sure to send them to death." Douglas. Haig raised his chin and looked arrogant, showing the arrogance that an English gentleman should have: "So the Germans will lose this war!" ”

Douglas. Haig is a very interesting figure who seems to reject any new weapons, considers the machine gun to be a superfluous weapon, and has a similar view of the use of tanks. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that he did not refuse to use new weapons in this war because of this.

Robert. Neville raised a frown, and his mouth agreed with Douglas. What Haig said, but in his heart he was complaining that this arrogant and stubborn Scotsman was an executioner and butcher who didn't care about the lives of his soldiers.

Glass. What did Haig do would make Robert. Nevelle thinks so? It's Glass. Some of Haig's actions as Chief of Staff of the Indian Army were also related to the heavy casualties among the soldiers in the operations he commanded. And in fact, Robert. Neville is also not a general who cherishes the lives of his soldiers, and it can be seen from some of the battles that have taken place that he is still more ruthless and stupid.

The battle ahead had become less intense, and several other Allied generals were discussing why there was a never-before-seen burst of machine gun fire at the scene of the engagement.

Actually, it's not a machine gun, it's a submachine gun. However, now that the Second German Reich had developed a submachine gun in the true sense of the word, and it was the first time that it was put into combat, it was natural that the generals of the Allies did not know about it.

They were discussing passionately, partly about the engagement ahead, but more about the Battle of Verdun, which had been fought in February, and about the Battle of the Somme, which was already being prepared for artillery fire. In fact, there are also some generals who are not talking about the war, but happily chatting about the interesting things that happened in their hometowns in the past.

Unbeknownst to the Allied generals, who were protected by at least one company, there were about twenty camouflage-clad Germans approaching in what seemed slow, but in fact slightly rapid, in the direction of their northeast flank. In addition to the slope at two o'clock, there were also nearly ten German troops in camouflage at four o'clock, but the speed of the German troops in the dozen or so was relatively cautious compared to the German force of twenty or so...... That is, slow.

In addition to the German troops approaching at two o'clock and four o'clock, there were also several previously undetected German troops in various places that were slowly approaching. Worse still, on a bell tower platform on the edge of the town, about a kilometer away from the Allied generals, several shirtless German soldiers were adjusting 60mm mortars.

"The elevation angle and ruler have been adjusted, when is the right time for us to fire?"

"We are not responsible for active attacks, and all attacks wait for the captain's signal."

Joseph. Dietrich kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and his face looked slightly pale. He would sweat all the time, partly because of the hot weather, but more because he was nervous.

This mortar team of only five people remained, and their luck after setting off was quite bad, when they penetrated the no-man's land in the middle of the trenches of the two armies, they were first hit by shells, and three people were reimbursed, one gun, and three boxes of ammunition, and after passing through the no-man's land, they did not know what the situation was, and when they arrived at the lurking position, two more people were missing.

The bell tower where they were located was the tallest building on the northeast side of the town of Villeville, and it was in the darkest hours of the morning before dawn that day, and from the beginning they had taken refuge in a room full of ears of wheat, and it was only when they heard a fierce exchange of fire that they ventured to the platform on top of the bell tower.

Go up to the bell tower to check the movement, because Hans, who leads this group. Second Lieutenant Perona was in the missing state by Private Marcus, the highest-ranking private present. Ergen took over command of the group.

Richie, who led the entire commando team, did not know that there was a commando of the Guards joining the operation, Private First Class Marcus. Ergan, of course, did not know that they had heard the sound of submachine gun fire before deciding to drag the remaining 60mm mortar up to the belfry platform. They did this because they heard the exchange of fire from submachine guns and thought that there was a change in action and that their own team had launched an attack on the convoy.

Later, when the mortar team saw that there were a few more teams fighting, and that there were other mortar teams firing shells, they were stunned and realized that it was not their own team members who attacked, but some friendly troops who appeared out of nowhere.

"Planes, our planes!"

"It's our plane!"

I don't know who first suppressed his voice and cheered, and then everyone looked to the east of him, where there was a group of about thirty planes with the obvious Iron Cross insignia.

Because it was so obvious that almost everyone immediately noticed the appearance of a group of German planes in the east, and in response it was British and French planes that caught up with it. The Allied generals, who were standing on the side of the road and talking, were protected by the guards, and a group of people ran towards the woods on the side.

For the Allied generals who chose to hide because of the presence of German aircraft groups, they were more unlucky to choose Litchie and Ewald. Feng. The direction in which Kleist's two teams approached.

If one side is unlucky, then naturally there are lucky ones, and there are those who are lucky to Richie and Ewald. Feng. For the two of them, Kleist was the lucky one.

History is often changed inadvertently, such as Joseph. Jacques. Césaire. Xia Fei didn't show up, it was Grass. Haig and Robert. Nivelle, the raid that would not have occurred also came because of a report by Richie......
