By the middle of the twelfth month, the German troops were entangled with the resistance forces in Poland, and the pressure on the Anglo-French forces gathered on the German border was sharply reduced. The delay of the German army in moving westward made the British and French forces who were waiting for the battle somewhat relieved, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who had always pursued the Jingbian policy, also sent lobbyists to Berlin quietly, in the vain hope of using diplomatic mediation to prevent the imminent war. The sun never sets on the empire in the nineteenth century, when Germany was so powerful that Britain and France, especially Britain, did not really want to go to war with Germany.

Christmas is a major festival in Western countries, every day, farmers and farmers, businessmen closed, officials Mu Xiu, the whole country, whether you are poor or rich, as long as you are a Christian, will gather in the church to celebrate Mass, and the family will sit around the fireplace to enjoy the warmth of the family. But this year there will be a lot of Christians who will not be able to go to church, because they are holding their ground, keeping their eyes open to watch for the enemy on the other side.

"34, today it's 34" Looking at the corpses lined up with a white cloth, Major James, as the commander of the position, was quite angry, it has been a month, more and more soldiers have died under the German sniper pistols on the opposite position, and the elusive German sniper has caused more than half of his soldiers to be killed and wounded, and he can't do anything. James also had snipers under him, but they were all wiped out in the initial duel between the German snipers, and the Germans used snipers to defend the line for three months.

"Pop" James's hand slapped heavily on the table built with the ammunition box, and the steaming lunch box rolled out on the ground with a grunt, and the broth in the lunch box was also scattered on the ground, this is his dinner today. The soreness of the joints made James groan, the trenches dug were always wet, and a veteran with old wounds like James was simply being tortured in such a trench.

Three days ago, James called the military department and asked for reinforcements for himself, but the military department said that the German army would not attack before Christmas, and a large number of troops who crossed the sea had already returned to the British mainland to prepare for Christmas, so the military department now has no extra soldiers for James. James didn't know if it was true that the army said that the Germans would not attack before Christmas, but the day after the fog continued, the Belgian troops on his left had actually taken half of their soldiers, and it seemed that they were really going back for Christmas.

"Fool, is Christmas more important than fighting?" Boom, boom, Boom, James and a few officers in the command post just walked into the trench, and he felt unstable under his feet, and the void on the trench couldn't stop sliding down. Dozens of black dots suddenly appeared in front of the position about half a mile wide, and the first to find these black spots was a young officer next to James, a young officer holding a telescope and roaring in horror, "There are enemy troops!" The German tanks are coming" James had 600 soldiers under his command, and with his howl, there was an immediate commotion in the trenches, and James saw the scattered people and shouted, "Prepare to return fire, hold your ground"

The splitter snatched the telescope that the officer was carrying, and James clinged to the trench tightly, yes, those who came out of the fog were not German tanks. What puzzled James was that the scouts reported that the Germans on the opposite side had no armored troops, and that these tanks were drilled from there. A sharp whistling sound sounded from the mid-air raid, and the startled James suddenly turned over and jumped into the narrow anti-artillery hole, shouting in horror, "Anti-artillery, German artillery attack"

The Germans had been stationed on the opposite side for three months, and there had been no movement, just when they thought that the Germans would not dare to go to war with the Allied forces, and even if they were to go to war, at least until the weather warmed up, the Germans, who had been dormant for three months, went to war, and they went to war on the most unlikely day in their opinion. There was a loud "boom" sound, and the large-caliber shells from the rear of the German positions blew up the positions they were defending into a cloud of gunsmoke, and while James sent scouts to spy on the Germans, the Germans also saw them through, and the shells from the Germans were like having eyes, and they hit very accurately.

When a large-caliber artillery shell bursts, the shock wave formed is as lethal as the flying shrapnel, especially in the straight trenches of the British army. Holding his head, James trembled and curled up in the anti-artillery hole, running around the position during the shelling would cost his life, especially the German large-caliber howitzer salvo. What scared James was not the deafening shelling, but the constant vibration of the earth beneath him, and the German tanks coming up before their own shelling was over.

The roaring steel behemoth had crossed the middle line of the two positions, and a black steel helmet suddenly appeared in the German trench, and the German soldiers who had turned out of the trench let out a loud cry, holding their rifles and rushing into the Allied positions with the tanks that could not stop firing. The howitzer clusters set up in the rear of the German army carried out the artillery fire in an orderly manner according to the coordinates sent back by the front scouts with walkie-talkies, and bombarded the bunkers and fire points on the coalition positions into the sky one by one. Tanks roaring with hideous roars tore through the barbed wire fence to raze the Allied trenches, and the Allied soldiers who had long since relaxed their vigilance were stunned by the surprise attack of the Germans, and countless deserters threw away their weapons on the defensive line, and many more were surrendered soldiers who died in the artillery fire and laid down their weapons.

Under the cover of a large number of infantry, the German tank units formed a conical assault formation crossed the trench and entered the coalition positions, and the German fighters that had already risen into the air also tilted their bombs on the defensive positions of the coalition troops. For this surprise attack, the German high command has been planning for a long time, and the troops attacking Eastern European countries are all second-line troops of the German army, and a large number of German elite troops have long been lurking on the border with these countries, and they have not launched an attack for a long time, just waiting for news from Zhao Zhi's side.

Counterattack, counterattack, under the coercion of the German army's strong war, Luxembourg and Belgium did their best to fight back, but the British across the channel have been pursuing a Jingbian policy, they want to prevent Germany from occupying these small countries, but they don't want to lead the war to themselves, after the failure of diplomatic mediation, a large number of British troops are still floating on the sea, the number of Anglo-French troops in Luxembourg and Belgium is still a little scarce, compared to the German army that is fully prepared and armed to the teeth, the resistance of these countries seems a little insignificant.

Attacking, attacking, the German soldiers crossed the border like a war machine, and defeated the resistance one after another. After watching the documentary on the Polish blitzkrieg, the German officers had a good understanding of Zhao Zhi's tactics of land-air coordination and infantry and artillery cooperation, and the Anglo-French coalition army's tactics for the German army were still retained in their understanding of World War I. After the Germans suddenly changed their tactics, the Anglo-French forces fighting against them were somewhat unbearable, especially after the Germans were equipped with a large number of walkie-talkies, and the commander of the division commander could easily command any infantry company under his command within the effective communication distance.

On December 12, 12 days before Christmas in the West, 400,000 German soldiers suddenly launched a surprise attack on Belgium and Luxembourg, and began a battle with the coalition forces in the absolute sense. For this raid, a large number of German troops on the Polish battlefield were quietly transferred to the Western Front during the day and night, and the German troops that British intelligence officers said had been entangled with the Polish Resistance were actually second-line troops, and at least 400,000 of the real German elite troops were transferred to the Western Front.

Zhao Zhi is a senior ruffian, the so-called ruffian has the characteristics of a scoundrel, he will never be brutal when he can't beat you, fight for righteousness, he will avoid his edge when he can't win people, and when he has recuperated enough people to come back to you to do it, and if he doesn't fight, he will beat you with a fight. The German hibernation on the Western Front was a false sign of weakness and an attempt to paralyze the opposing coalition forces, especially after British intelligence officers learned that the Germans were still tangling with the Polish resistance.

Sending a large number of snipers is just another strategy of Zhao Zhi, the lethality of snipers is still not comparable to the confrontation on the frontal battlefield, it can only be a means of controlling the enemy, Zhao Zhi just wants to use this way to make the opposing coalition forces think that the German army on the western front just wants to stabilize the front, because the German army has always relied on snipers to suppress the coalition army, which shows that the German army has not yet left the strength to attack the coalition army, and the scouts sent by the coalition army did not find that the German army on the opposite side is equipped with armored troops and heavy artillery.

Zhao Zhi had to praise the tenacity of the German army, in order to allow the armored troops to participate in the raid, the armored troops drawn back from the Polish battlefield turned off the engine when they were still far away from the battlefield on the Western Front, and the tanks that participated in the war were dragged by the German soldiers to the front line, if it were not for the fact that the tanks needed hot cars, I am afraid that the barrels of the tanks would be on top of James's heads, and the stupid coalition forces would be able to discover the intentions of the German army.

The 400,000-strong army crossed the defense line into Belgium and Luxembourg in just half a day, and the 150,000 troops of the Allied forces stationed on the border between the two countries were pursued by the Germans for more than 50 miles. The Netherlands begged for help, Belgium begged for help, Luxembourg begged for help, the clouds of war had already drifted over the borders between Germany and these countries, and after the 400,000 German troops stabilized the battle line, they had the intention of continuing to move westward. For the sake of its own security, France had to continue to increase its troops into Luxembourg and Belgium to assist in the defense, and Britain on the other side of the Channel immediately sent a large number of troops to support these countries, and the English Channel was full of ships transporting soldiers.
