Milodelov suddenly said in a very serious and serious tone: "Your Majesty, I have carefully studied the whole process of Lin Haijiang's rise, studied every battle case, and I found that all the battle cases personally organized and implemented by Lin Haijiang in the early stage can be called classics, Lin Haijiang seems to be able to predict the prophet, he understands the enemy's weaknesses, and he is good at using those technologies that are not noticed and used to transform them into military advantages, this is a very terrible opponent!" Therefore, I suggest that your Majesty set up a point in the siege of the fortress of Gozów, whether it is time or our losses, as soon as we reach this point, we must retreat immediately, you must know that our losses under the fortress of Gozów will not only weaken the military power of the empire, but also shake your rule, and if the generals are disappointed in you or no longer obey your commands, think what a terrible thing it will be! ”

Nicholas I stared blankly at Milodelov, knowing that his chief of staff would not tell him such alarmist things without purpose, that the enemies of the Russian Empire were not only from without, but also from within, and that the enemies within the Empire seemed to be more destructive than the enemies from outside.

Setting out to deal with the enemies within the Russian Empire, Nicholas I did not know whether Milodelov was referring to the Chekov gang or Prince Enfiglo's gang, and recently he received a secret report that Prince Enfiglo seemed to be on the verge of making a move, and Nicholas I was very annoyed by this, and Nicholas I was glad that he insisted on the decision not to leave Prince Enfiglo in Moscow, and dared to be so arrogant under his nose? However, Nicholas I could not teach Prince Enfiglo, who had many cronies, a harsh lesson at this moment.

In the periphery of the Gozów fortress, the Russian army's Z-shaped roundabout tunnel excavation of the No. 2 fortress group has spread all over all eight peripheral fortress groups, but the excavation work has always been suppressed by the fire of the Chinese Empire, and the officers and soldiers of the Russian army participating in the excavation suffered heavy casualties, but the tunnels dug by the Russian army underground have brought certain losses to the No. 2 and No. 3 fortress groups, and the Russian army has completely overturned the Zimu fort on the defense line of several fortresses through blasting.

After learning of this situation, Xu Yaoting did not take the ancient method of digging the tunnel, but took advantage of the powerful risk of the next day to fire more than 600 special artillery shells at the entrance defense line of the Russian army's tunnel, and suddenly a thick fog with a slight green color and a pungent smell of garlic rose on the Russian position?

As the first time in the history of the world to use chemical weapons in actual combat, Xu Yaoting, as a party concerned, did not feel any guilt and so-called responsibility? He was not only shocked but satisfied with the amazing effect of this weapon, so the remaining seven fortress groups also began to follow the example of the No. 2 fortress group to use a large number of mustard gas special shells, because it was cloudy and windless, the low pressure caused the mustard gas to not easily drift away, it can be said that such weather is a good day to use chemicals.

A large number of Russian soldiers stood in place in a daze because they did not have any sense of protection? They don't understand why the defenders of the Chinese Empire fired smoke grenades at them? How effective can it be to launch smoke grenades into the opposing position?

As a large number of Russian soldiers began to breathe rapidly, nausea, vomit, poor breathing, and cramps all over their bodies, the Russian army realized that there was something wrong with these thick fog with the smell of garlic.

In the smoke of gunpowder from the continuous explosions, the Russian officers and soldiers fell one by one under the wanton flying shrapnel, and there were wailing wounded Russian soldiers everywhere, the Russian soldiers who had broken their calves sat numbly in a daze with their broken legs, and the Russian soldiers who kept running on the side were overturned in the air by the explosion, and there were bloody corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere.

In the ruined church in the small town of Ella, Nicholas I, Milodelov and Prince Enfiglo listened to dozens of generals and generals about the use of a poisoned smoke shell by the Chinese Empire, and the entire excavation and fortifications came to a standstill, apparently the front-line commanders were not sure how many of these shells could emit poisonous smoke on the part of the Chinese Empire. Rumors began to spread and circulate within the Russian army, and since the number of poisoned people exceeded 30,000, the hospital was almost crowded with these wounded people whose faces were blue and painful and foaming at the mouth, while the military doctors of the Russian army were helpless about it!

Nicholas I's face was very ugly, because the generals present were busy transferring their command posts before, and Nicholas I's big tent was really frightened by a single shot, it was a large crater with a diameter of more than 30 meters and a depth of 5 or 6 meters, and there were no survivors in the big tent and more than 500 people nearby, which meant that anyone within 500 meters of the bullet impact point would be doomed and be treated as shock to death!

Duraviewski, the only one on the scene who faced this great crisis, was smoking a cigar silently at the moment, without the slightest intention of speaking.

In desperation, Nicholas I coughed and said to Duravevsky: "Marshal Duravievsky, can you tell me what kind of weapon was used in the Gozów fortress?" Why is there such a big repercussion? Demoralize our army? ”

Duraviewski threw away the cigar cigarette in his hand, stared at his bloodshot eyes and hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then said very seriously: "Unlike the wolf smoke poison bombs we use, those things that are thrown are fired directly from artillery, and a large amount of smoke is quickly emitted, this smoke is very difficult to disperse, floating on the ground is slightly pale green, with a strong garlic smell, my position is relatively backward, and I retreated without waiting for the poisonous smoke to arrive, but the troops at the front line failed to retreat in time, It took about an hour for the fog to dissipate completely. ”

Everyone present took a breath of cool air completely, although they didn't see the poison gas, but they saw the wounded who were wailing and moaning in the field hospital, and they saw it with their own eyes, and for their new tactics were easily disintegrated by poison gas bombs, Milodelov suddenly felt that he was powerless?

Faced with the stubborn stone of the Gozów Fortress, the Gozów Fortress felt so powerless and hopeless? In the history of warfare in Europe, there has never been a fortress that has not been overcome, it can be said that there will be flaws in good defense, as long as there are flaws, there is the possibility of being overcome, but the Gozów fortress gave Milodelov a sense of impregnability, the Russian army still accumulated nearly 100,000 casualties, but at this moment it is not even close to the core fortifications of the Gozów fortress? How many casualties would it have to take to sweep away the outer fortresses? Milodelov really didn't have a standard in his heart.

However, Milodelov had already realized that if he wanted to conquer the fortress, he had to find someone who was familiar with the inner workings of the fortress, and only by doing so could the fortress be conquered.

Milodelov's proposal was supported by Nicholas I, and the Russian offensive began to slow down.

But at the same time, the German army, which had been massing vigorously on the German-French border, finally passed through Luxembourg and Belgium, and in the small city of Vauxolle, a small city in France that was not even famous in later generations, the German army concentrated 1.7 million troops and launched an earth-shattering Armageddon with the 2.2 million allied forces of the Entente in the Vauxall area.

Kaiser Wilhelm I and the German Chief of the General Staff Moltke arrived at the front, and French Field Marshal Siem and British Field Marshal Williamston also arrived from the rear to this small place that is not well known on the map, and Vauxol concentrated an army of nearly four million, which was also unprecedented in European history.

It can be said that the focus of the whole Europe is focused on the Vosol area, the pattern of Armageddon is still formed, Germany is fighting against the entire Entente group with the strength of one country, Vosol is a typical plain area, the vast plain has become the best place for the decisive battle between the two heavy army groups, but whether it is the Germans or the Entente group, they are afraid that they have found a problem, that is, the Vosol plain area has been dug by them to a thousand holes, tens of thousands of tons of barbed wire have been arranged by both sides in large quantities, The Vosul region has become a battlefield full of trenches and fortresses.

The Germans were making the final preparations, and the Entente side was also making the final preparations, and both the Germans and the Entente knew very well that if they could not completely and quickly defeat the other side in a war, then the war would probably go on forever.

Therefore, the two warring sides fell into a strange circle, that is, they both wanted to do their own preparations sufficiently, but the staff officers of both sides also realized that the longer the time dragged on, the less likely it would be to be able to quickly defeat the other party! Huge quantities of supplies, ammunition, and equipment poured from Germany into the Vossul region, and the same was true for the Allies, who were desperately preparing for a final showdown, but there was an eerie silence on the entire Western Front.

Compared with the Russians on the Eastern Front, the fortress of Gozów was bloodied and corpses were all over the field, and although the atmosphere of the war on the Western Front was extremely strong, as time went by, neither Germany nor the Entente side seemed to be sure that the battle would be over in a few months, and the German side, which was weaker in strength, wanted to fight a defensive counterattack, while the Allied bloc, which was relatively weakly armed, did not want a massacre like the Battle of Migotte's Forest.

The brutality of the war and the sense of crisis of defeat also threatened Germany and the Entente, and the German Empire was under more pressure than the German Empire, because more than a million Russian troops were besieging the fortress of Gozów, and if the fortress of Gozów fell, the German Empire would face a great crisis.
