Hitler asked for a staff officer from the General Staff Office of the Army Group, and under the guidance of this staff officer, Hitler, Weiklich and Kleist saw the tragic image of the Reims front.

Reims Line, there are nearly ten Allied divisions, and there is also an American rainbow (neon) division, in the roaring artillery, the German 36th Division began to use the iron boats hidden in the reeds and bushes, the poisonous gas and smoke produced by the shelling of both sides combined with the fog of the early morning to form a thick smoke, when the Germans drove the iron boats to the center of the Marne River with the concealment of the thick smoke, the people of the American Rainbow Division found these German ships full of infantry and machine gunners, and immediately fired fiercely at those ships, The Germans were crossing to the middle of the river, caught off guard, dozens of small boats were sunk, and suffered heavy losses, but they still fought to cross the river, and finally rushed to the opposite bank at a heavy price, and quickly occupied a commanding height, and counterattacked the Americans.

The soldiers of the Rainbow Division of the U.S. Army also became more and more brave the more they fought, holding their positions and confronting the German army, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, the battle was extremely fierce, everyone went crazy, and they seemed to be not afraid of death, and fell in batches. In order to occupy a commanding height, the German army did not hesitate to launch a crowd tactic, the front group died, and the back group of people poured up, and the blood stained the entire Marne River.

"It's not worth it." Behind the Marne, Hitler took off the binoculars, the Germans used crowd tactics, and the artillery of the Allies was waiting for work, constantly shelling the troops, and the German charges were really huge casualties.

At this time, on the other side of the Marne, the command of the US Rainbow Division, Douglas MacArthur, who served as the chief of staff of the Rainbow Division, also closely watched the battle, the US Rainbow Division is composed of the National Guard of 26 states of the United States and the District of Columbia, although the National Guard is a reserve on the surface, counting as a militia force, in fact, before World War I, the US Army was very small, that is, tens of thousands of border guards, and 35,000 in the colonial Philippines.

Therefore, the National Guard is one of the main forces of the US Army, and if this battle is lost, the United States will lose face.

The Americans want to save face and prove themselves, the French want to defend their homeland and defend Paris, the Germans have accumulated the last of their morale and have an iron will, the soldiers of several countries are gritting their teeth and fighting regardless of life and death, and the fighting on the entire French central front is extremely fierce, with tens of thousands of casualties every day.

On the third day after Hitler's return to the Berlin regiment, the General Staff of the Army Group called the Berlin regiment. Hitler was ordered to lead the Berlin regiment to support the cornfields five kilometers from the northern forest of Reims.

It turned out that the 67th Division of the Sixth Army on the northern front of Reims, under the suicidal attack of the Germans, they only advanced five kilometers and suffered heavy losses, and had to dig trenches in the cornfields to defend themselves.

However, the day after the trenches were dug up, as soon as the day dawned, on the flat field, dozens of tanks of all sizes rumbled forward, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

When Victor and Ludendorff of the General Staff learned of this, they knew that the front could not collapse and that reinforcements were necessary, but all the enemy troops in the vicinity were exchanging fire with the enemy and could not draw strength, and at this time, they thought of the Berlin regiment.

When Hitler received the order, he quickly gave the order for the whole regiment to move, sat in the car tank, and quickly moved five kilometers north of Reims.

The minimum speed of the entire Berlin regiment was 20 kilometers per hour, and although it was not as fast as a train, it was still four or five times faster than on foot. When he reached the north of Reims, he saw a large number of routs, and Hitler ordered an infantry company to gather the routs while reorganizing the attacking formation.

"Phew! Sortie! ”

It didn't take long for the whistle to sound, and the roaring tanks rushed forward in a line at least ten meters apart, and around the tanks, the infantry marched in groups of threes and threes, under the cover of the tanks.

A battalion in the rear also raised a hot air balloon to reconnoiter the enemy's positions, and soon the artillery of the Berlin regiment was the first to open fire, flying towards the enemy with the horror of death.

More than a dozen Fokker fighters painted with German flags crossed the sky above the Berlin regiment and in the wilderness, they continued to dive and strafe the Allied troops on the ground again and again, inflicting huge casualties on the Allied troops.

The sky belongs to Germany!

The Reich did not attach importance to tanks, but attached great importance to aircraft, and Germany's advanced Fokker E3 fighter became the Grim Reaper in the air, and once shot down a large number of Allied planes, which made the air combat situation "one-sided", and the Allied planes did not dare to take to the sky to meet the battle, so they had to stop in the hangar and lay ashes.

With the addition of the air force, the Berlin regiment successfully rushed to the trench in the cornfield, where the Allied soldiers and German soldiers were fighting with the hand, and some German soldiers held the key points and defended them to the death.

There were more than two dozen Allied tanks in the trenches, but they were vulnerable to the upgraded 65mm low-velocity guns of the A7V-H tanks, and many companies of the Berlin regiment were armed with expensive 13mm T-shaped anti-tank rifles, and these two dozen Allied tanks were quickly wiped out.

The tanks of the Berlin regiment also had three tanks temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, not because they were hit in battle, but because of a mechanical failure on the way to the charge, the engine or track was damaged, and they lay down in the field, which could not be helped, the tank technology at this time was insufficient, and it was easy to break down. The German tanks were good, and it was said that half of the tanks on the Entente side would have non-combat attrition in a battle, and only half of the tanks would be able to join the battle.

Each tank company had maintenance squads, and Hitler asked the maintenance squads to stay for repairs, and the rest continued to charge. The addition of the Berlin regiment reversed the disadvantage of the German army in the cornfield in one fell swoop, and more than 20 A7V-H tanks were like more than 20 mobile machine gun pillboxes, plus the soldiers of the 67th Division who held their positions, the Entente attack was repulsed at once, and the Allied soldiers in the positions either raised their hands to surrender or were beaten to death.

The sun was still bloody, the weather was still hot, everyone was sweating profusely, the scent of grass came from the leaf stalks in the cornfield, and when the smoke of the battlefield cleared, the sound of frogs and crickets dominated the whole world, forming a pleasant music. Hitler saw the regimental chief of staff, Weikrich, walked over and asked: "Does the General Staff of the Army Group or the General Staff know that we have completed our mission?" Are there any other commands? ”

Wielchrich wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The telegram for completing the mission had already been sent by radio half an hour ago, but there was still no reply from it. ”

"Still no reply?"

Hitler frowned, and the fact that his superiors did not reply, meant that they were still holding on. Holding on here is not the best result you want, and the Berlin Regiment, as an elite force capable of quick reaction and rapid mobility, should become a firefighting team on the battlefield, supporting there if there is a difficulty, instead of fighting trench warfare at the front line, losing strength in vain, and may also do nothing.

In the early morning of the next day, the superiors still did not give them orders, and Hitler had to let the Berlin Regiment and the 67th Division build positions together to defend against the enemy, and did not dare to let the Berlin Regiment go elsewhere, after all, the last order he received was to reinforce the 67th Division, and he had to stay in the 67th Division before receiving the latest order.

Hitler did not dare to disobey orders, otherwise he would at least be demoted if he violated orders, and if the impact was significant, for example, because of the retreat of the Berlin regiment, the position of the 67th Division was lost again, Hitler might have been shot.

Anyway, the enemy did not show any flaws in the offensive reconnaissance, and Hitler did not find any fighters or opportunities, so although he did not want to stay in the position of the 67th Division, there was no harm anyway, so he stayed in the position of the 67th Division first.

This stay is five days.

Five days later, Hitler received an order that made his blood boil: attack Reims!
