Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ceasefire on the Somme (Part I)

Because of the temporary cessation of the exchange of fire between the two sides, Ewald. Feng. Kleist came over with relative ease. When he arrived at the scene, he saw eight Allied generals divided into two sides, one of the British generals and a French lieutenant general holding two friendly soldiers armed with submachine guns hostage, and the remaining six generals under the watchful eye of one friendly soldier.

"Hats off, initiator and mastermind of the operation!"

Richie didn't have the time to return the salute now, he could only apologize to Ewald who appeared. Feng. Kleist smiled and returned the favor.

Ewald. Feng. Kleist really admires Richie a little, an action with a success rate as low as less than 10%, really caught the generals of the Entente side, and there are eight alive in one arrest, how can it not be admired?

From the outbreak of war in August 1914 to the end of June 1916, only a handful of generals died on the battlefield of the various participating countries. And today's attack will surely leave a great mark in the history of war, and it will be a brilliant one!

"We examined the bodies just now, and we killed four major generals and one lieutenant general, and nineteen colonel-level officers." Andreas. Heisenberg's voice trembled, and it was excited.

The dead major generals were all from France, and the lieutenant general was from Canada. Similarly, most of the colonels killed were from France, with only a few from the Commonwealth. It is relatively simple that such a situation will occur, after all, the battlefield is on French soil, and it is appropriate for France to have more soldiers.

"Captain." Richie vs. Ewald. Feng. "The British general thinks that he should be taken prisoner by a nobleman, not a commoner," Kleist said. ”

Ewald. Feng. Kleist already knew what had happened, and he was slightly embarrassed to say, "It's your honor." ”

"It's my honor, but ......" Li Qi is a little confused about what is going on with people now, and when the time comes, there is still time to talk nonsense, and it should be solved quickly! He said in as calm a tone as he could: "I have decided to fulfill this small request from the general from England. ”

The situation is very strange now! The fact that the exchange of fire had stopped around them did not mean that the Entente forces were not approaching, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for them.

There was a ceasefire on the ground, but the fighting in the air became very fierce, and more than a hundred planes from both sides combined were strangled in the sky, and from time to time there would be planes missing wings or on fire, and they would make unpleasant noises from the air.

And it seems that since I don't know when, the artillery on the side of the Entente has stopped firing at the German lines, so the whole world is only the sound of aircraft fighting.

The sudden "quietness" may seem unaccustoming to people who are accustomed to the sound of cannons, and it is estimated that people with anxiety disorders will become extremely nervous when faced with a sudden change in the environment.

The few people hiding on the platform of the bell tower of Villere, they were debating fiercely whether to go and join their commander, and finally concluded that their commander had not been summoned, and they should stay where they were for the time being.

by Kurt. Lieutenant Zeitzler's team, who had only been on the scene after the exchange of fire, arrived late because they were fully staffed and had no idea where to get three trucks.

Kurt. Zeitzler immediately apologized as soon as he appeared: "Sir, I'm really sorry! ”

How could Richie have the time to listen to Kurt. Zeitzler apologized, but it was Kurt. Zeitzler briefly recounted his experience, and it turned out that they had encountered a convoy of Canadians, and had to exchange fire, with the result that all the soldiers of the Canadian convoy were wiped out, and the truck was also looted at that time.

With Kurt. The Canadian convoy where Lieutenant Zeitzler's group exchanged fire was the one that Richie and others saw being bombed by planes when they were lurking.

Things are easier to do with trucks, although Douglas. Haig and Robert? Nivelle didn't cooperate, but he was still forced into the truck by Litchie and others. The two highest-ranking men were put on trucks, and the remaining major generals and colonel-level officers were much easier.

During the whole process of Li Qi and others getting the prisoners into the truck, the soldiers of the Entente countries were all puzzled, and they wanted to listen to Robert? Neville kept yelling at the "noise" of shooting, then heard some officers shouting that they couldn't shoot, and finally no Allied soldier dared to shoot. That's because they were worried that they would be the first to shoot, causing the Germans to shoot the generals, and that responsibility was not something they could bear.

"I remember there were a couple of trucks that could move in that direction." Richie vs. Ewald. Feng. Kleist said.

"Yes." Ewald. Feng. Kleist smiled happily and said, "Moder has brought people over, and they will be over soon." ”

Li Qi glanced at the Allied soldiers who had lost their weapons present, and then looked at the more Allied soldiers who were constantly gathering over, and said in a suppressed voice: "We don't have much time. ”

Ewald. Feng. Kleist couldn't agree with Rich's words, but instead of showing panic, they had to make a sure appearance for the Entente to see.

Not only were the Allied troops approaching, but in fact some German storm commandos were also approaching, and as a result, the scene was divided into several areas, but no matter how you look at it, it was obviously unfavorable to the German army, after all, there were too many people from the Entente.

Ewald. Feng. Kleist asked, "Have you faith?" ”

Litchie knew Ewald. Feng. Kleist asked what he was, and he just nodded and didn't answer.

Confidence? Shenhel's action was like a wild horse from the beginning, and the ups and downs of the plot are not an exaggeration to describe it as resounding. Fortunately, no matter what the process is, they finally returned to the proper plot, the difference is whether the Entente really cares so much about their generals...... It's the generals who were captured.

"You are staging a miracle in military history!" Ewald. Feng. Kleist, with an unconcealed excitement and no fear of the deterioration of the current situation, said: "Whether we can go back or not, this operation will be recorded in history and will become a lesson that will inevitably be mentioned in the military lectures of various countries." ”

[Whether you can go back or not? 】

Richie had already seen the approaching truck.

[Why do I think everything is weird!?] 】
