The shelling continued, and the air force came in waves from time to time, so that there was no swaying figure in the Allied positions that finally surrounded the field hospital.

"Our program is on its way to success, step by step." Li Qi asked in a more relaxed tone: "How are you contacting the rear?" ”

Kurt. Zeitzler replied: "Captain Kleist has been asking Major Brauchitsch for more support. Major Brauchitsch replied that he was already making more dealings with the artillery units, and had also sent a telegram to Berlin asking for things to move faster. ”

Despite the possibility of a diminishment of credit, Richie really didn't have too many other options, so the person in charge of liaising with the rear was always Ewald. Feng. Kleist.

Ewald. Feng. After all, Kleist is a sequence of the Guards, and a Juncker, and his words will carry a lot more weight than Richie. And the facts are proving this, after Ewald. Feng. Kleist has repeatedly asked for a message to Va ~ R ~ T. Feng. Brauchitsch's repeated requests accelerated the progress of events, and the response that had been pushed three days later would be sped up by one day, instead on July 29.

[Fortunately, the rhythm of the war at this time is like that, if the pace of the war is faster, let alone two days, it should be over in a few hours. In addition, you need to play the limited number of cards in your hand! 】

Not to mention, the pace of war in World War I is really very slow, and it is clear that the two sides have already set up a position, but they can still look at each other with affection...... In fact, it is a temptation for at least a week or more, and then it takes half a month or even a month to pull the formation apart ......, thinking that when it comes to this, the soldiers will start fighting? No, no! The attacking side had to shell for at least another week, waiting for the artillery to cool off before the soldiers stood in a row to be bulleted.

The artillery bombardment from the rear of the German army continued, and the bombing by aircraft came from here occasionally, but the negotiations between the encircled and the encircled sides did not stop.

After receiving another 500,000 francs and 50,000 pounds, Litchie ordered the release of two lieutenant colonels and one colonel. This decision was opposed by many of the Guards officers, who believed that any tactical illusion had lost its effectiveness and that it was time to defend it tightly, and that the Entente should not be given another opportunity to approach the established line of defense, lest something be seen.

Richie knew that the time was right, and he took the opportunity to show some of the cellars and hid some of the funds, mostly in pounds sterling and only a few francs. In fact, when he was dealing with the funds, he found that the funds that had been kept in the open were actually missing, and the officers would not take the money, so it must have been secretly hidden by the soldiers.

"You can't be too the soldiers." Ewald. Feng. Kleist frowned and said, "That's their own choice, it's hard to intervene in this situation." Plus, if something goes wrong, they get the care they deserve. ”

Since Ewald. Feng. Kleist has no opinion, and Li Qi naturally won't do anything offensive to people.

The reduced amount of money should be close to 150,000 francs and more than 10,000 pounds, and there are many people who may hide them, because the money was thrown on the table very openly in the first place.

"Perhaps......" Li Qi smiled evilly, "I should take some of the funds to the side of the Entente?" ”

Ewald. Feng. Kleist laughed, but didn't speak.

Li Qi really did that, and he knew very well that some of the positions that were now at his fingertips, as long as they were able to move, there was no reason not to take them.

It was then confirmed that about 200,000 francs were placed on a table outside the nursing tent at about 4 p.m., and by the evening they were gone. There were not many people who took them, there were wounded soldiers and doctors or nurses, and there seemed to be some kind of "fair" deuce on the side of the Entente?

Knowing this, if my own people hadn't done that, Ewald. Feng. Kleist would make fun of the Allied side, but his own soldiers could not satisfy his sense of honor, so he could only pretend that he did not know anything.

When night fell, when I looked to the east, I could see the light of the fire reflecting the clouds red, and the sound of explosions there had not stopped since the beginning of the battle.

The sound of explosions was not only present on the frontal battlefield, in fact, the Allied positions surrounding the field hospital would also be hit by a cannon from time to time, and the person who knew how to identify what kind of artillery was heard by listening to the sound told Li Qi that the caliber of the artillery that fired shells in this direction was repeatedly reduced, from a 280mm howitzer to a 75mm field gun.

The reduction of the caliber of the artillery is a matter of course, and in fact, the continuous shelling of artillery has surprised Richie, after all, the frontal battlefield is really too fierce, and people are dying almost every second, and that is the position where artillery support is desperately needed.

The truth is that after the Battle of the Somme, the Allies paid a total of nearly 100,000 casualties on the German right flank in just one day, about 30,000 more than the "original history". The French army, which was in charge of the left flank containment, was not in much better condition, and after paying nearly 40,000 dead and wounded, they finally waited until nightfall. On the first day of the offensive, not only did they fail to capture the second line of defense of the Germans, but even the first line of defense was reoccupied by the Germans.

For Li Qi and others, they fired flares into the buffer zone non-stop at night, making a high-alert appearance that allowed them to spend the night in the field hospital relatively calmly.

By the next day, the light began to appear, and the major was eager to appear again with a white flag. Zeitzler gave the latest message from the major that the Entente side had raised the price, but in any case demanded that the general-level figure must be released.

The French major also said that the head of the British army would come and take over after today. He asks us to be sure that they are gentle enough. If it's Edmund. Henry. Heinman. Allen Bylai is in charge ...... "Kurt. Zeitzler looked depressed and paused before saying, "We're going to be bad, very bad." ”

Edmund. Henry. Heinman. It is not clear who Allenby is Richie, in fact, none of the officers present know about Edmund because of their rank. Henry. Heinman. Who is Allenby.

Edmund. Henry. Heinman. Allenby was the commander of a British army group, he had previously served as the administrator of Egypt, and only returned to the European continent after the outbreak of war, and he had an amazing command talent for commanding cavalry operations. Barring no surprises, he would not have been in France for long, and would have been transferred to Palestine to command the British Expeditionary Force in the Middle East.

"Tell that French major......" Richie said in a lighter tone, looking at the crowd, "as a sign of good cooperation, their government should sign a pardon guaranteeing our safety after handing over the generals." Plus, we need more money! ”

None of the officers present objected, and they knew that the evacuation would soon be imminent, and that what seemed like an exaggerated demand from the French before the hard-line British general appeared would have slackened them. And they just need to survive this day one more time, and then it's time to officially face the test of fate!
