Under the pressure of Cai Yi, Xia Fei had to order the French army to attack the Soviet and Russian lines. On December 19, the French attacked the Soviet army's northwestern defense line of Wolivi, and the Soviet army held out for three days with a shortage of ammunition and food, and also launched a timely counterattack when the French army retreated.

In this attack, the French army not only did not get a bargain, but was also counterattacked by the Soviet army, losing a large number of weapons, ammunition, food and grass at the same time, which made the Soviet army make a small fortune, and the Soviet army on the opposite side of the French army could hold on for a period of time with these captures.

Cai Ye, who got the news, slapped his desk and was furious: "Waste, waste, what else can the French do besides finding women?" Those French were captured and killed, but it was a pity that so much ammunition and supplies were lost, and the Soviet army captured such a large amount of supplies, and they could hold out for a while, didn't the French know the enemy? What a bastard! ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile: "Songpo, the French are already very good if they don't collapse on all fronts, the current Soviet army is not the Russian army of the past, although it is inferior to the German army in terms of equipment and military quality, it can and still is not something that the French army can shake, and in terms of the will to fight, the Soviet army is a level higher than the German army, compare the two sides, the Soviet army will not be much worse than the German army, and the French can please the Soviet army in front of the Soviet army?" ”

Cai Yi snorted angrily: "These French people are really useless, it's okay without them, the battle is still fought, but they are wasting food in vain here, I thought about it, it's better to let them go back to France, I don't want this kind of army!" ”

Zhang Xiaozhun smiled: "I don't need to worry when I look at it, isn't there still half a month to go?" It's better to let the French finish the battle, and if they can take Lviv within the stipulated deadline, then let them stay, and if not, let them get out! Merely. Just let them go back like this, it's cheaper for them."

Cai Ye hurriedly asked, "Oh? I don't know what Yun Nong thinks? ”

Zhang Xiaozhun thought about it, and suddenly thought of a good way, so he said: "The combat effectiveness of the French is too poor, if we let them get out, then our troops in the southwest direction will be a little weaker." I don't think it's better to use the high-power radio to invent a code telegram to Xia Fei, and remind him that it is less than half a month before the stipulated deadline for taking Lviv, and if he can't take Lviv within the specified time limit, let him go back with his tattered army and send it over, and we won't leave his army here to waste food! ”

Cai Ye was stunned after listening to Zhang Xiaozhun's words, "This, this, Yunnong." You're a little too ruthless, aren't you? In this way, if the French fail to take Lviv within the stipulated time limit, will they not lose face? You're forcing them to fight the French! On the one hand, this trick can allow the French to force their own people to fight with the Russians, and on the other hand, it can give a warning to the armies of other countries that if they want to preserve their strength and do not work hard, we will use this trick against them, and if they do not want to lose face, they can only use all their strength to deal with the Soviet army. I have to say, your trick is too ruthless and too wonderful. Good, good, good".

The command of the French army, Xia Fei is holding a military meeting.

This attack on the Soviet defense line not only did not shake the Soviet defense line, but the Soviet army seized the opportunity to fight a counterattack, and the French army suffered heavy losses, losing nearly 20,000 people, and also lost a large amount of ordnance and materials. How could this not make Xia Fei angry?

"What's wrong? None of them have any energy, did you all go to work on a woman's belly last night? I put all my hopes in you, and you are good to repay me with a great defeat! ”

Xia Fei scolded angrily, and he was still angry when he scolded here. He added: "It's less than half a month before the end of the month, I can remind you that if we don't capture Lviv before the end of the month, the Allied High Command will definitely not let me feel better, and I will definitely not let you have a good time before I am bad, do you understand?" ”

The generals at all levels in the conference room were scolded by Xia Fei so bloody, and they all drooped their heads silently, which made Xia Fei even more annoyed, and just as he was about to continue to get angry, he saw a staff officer walk in.

"Report to the marshal, the Allied High Command has sent a telegram in clear code!"

Xia Fei frowned when he heard this: "What does this Cai Yi want to do?" How can you use clear code? What did he say in the telegram? ”

The staff officer said: "General Cai said in the telegram, remind the marshal, there is only half a month before the specified deadline, I hope the marshal does not remember the time wrong, if the marshal does not achieve the complete combat mission within the specified time limit, he will not punish the marshal, only ask the marshal to go back to France with your waste army, the Allied high command does not raise waste, he also said that even if you raise 200,000 pigs, you can still kill and eat meat, raising 200,000 French army waste will not only not win the battle, but will also affect friendly troops, such a tattered army is not raised!" ”

After listening to the staff officer's words, Xia Fei's face instantly turned pale, his body staggered, and he muttered to himself: "Bastard, bastard!" He went so far as to send such a telegram in plain code, and he insulted our French army ?????? like this."

Not only did Xia Fei almost vomit blood in anger, but the French generals on both sides were even more excited, slapping the table one by one and standing up and shouting, and some people were clamoring to teach Cai Ye a lesson, and for a while the conference room was as lively as a shrew scolding the street.

"That oriental monkey actually called us a waste, I will take my division to kill him tomorrow, kill him in Warsaw, and take him prisoner, I will ask him who is the waste!"

"I can't bear such an insult from the barbarians of the East, and the elegant French gentleman will never tolerate such an insult, and I will find him to duel!"

"He's such a bastard that he scolds us for being worse than pigs!"

The generals scolded one by one to vent their anger, one louder than the other, and Xia Fei was dizzy and short of breath from the noise.

I couldn't bear it anymore, Xia Fei shouted: "Enough, enough!" ”

When the generals saw Xia Fei's anger, they all stopped and looked at him one by one.

Xia Fei gasped and said, "Look at your scumbag appearance, it's no wonder Cai Ye scolded you all for being waste!" Gentlemen, dignity is earned by oneself! We always lose, we always lose, why can't we be brave? Why can't we win a battle? Is it because of our people's ability to command and command? No, no, no, I don't see it that way, there is absolutely no problem with the commanding ability and command ability of our generals, you are not much worse than the generals of any country, so why do we always fail? It is because we can't bear the losses, it's because our soldiers don't work hard enough, the soldiers are afraid of death, the officers are afraid of death, this is the real reason why we always lose the war, we started in the battle to recover the country, we have recovered a large area of the country at a heavy price, this shows that we are not without combat effectiveness, we have not brought into play our combat effectiveness, we can no longer go on like this, we must be strict with the soldiers, and we must pay attention to the matter of strengthening military discipline, and we must treat this matter as a top priority! Gentlemen, if we want others to respect us, first of all, we must do something that others admire, we must prove to the Chinese people that we are not waste, we are not wasting food, but if each of you still has a little bit of blood, you should take your men to fight the Russians! Instead of telling me here that you're angry, it's useless! Take your anger out on the Russians! ”

Cai Ye and Zhang Xiaozhun's move is really too ruthless, even more ruthless than letting the Eighth Army stare behind the French, even if the French can't take Lviv within the specified time limit, after the French roll back to France in a gloomy way, the French will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world, and this matter will become a lesson for the armies of other countries.

Xia Fei didn't want to become the laughing stock of all countries, and he didn't want his army to become a waste in the eyes of others, he knew that he had to work hard, and his army had to work hard with the Soviet army, if he didn't work hard, he wouldn't be able to go back to France.

On January 24, under the organization of Xia Fei, the French army once again gathered 30,000 people to attack the Soviet Russian defense line, in order to avoid the recurrence of the last time the Soviet army seized the opportunity to counterattack, this time Xia Fei and the French staff made a strict combat offensive plan to prevent the Soviet army from fighting back again.

On the northwestern defense line of Ukraine, the French army launched one attack after another, and there were many corpses of French soldiers lying in front of the forward positions of the Soviet defense line, and there were also many corpses of Soviet soldiers on the Soviet positions, and all sections of the trenches were blown up by French shells.

If it was before, this situation would have been unthinkable, the French would have retreated a long time ago, but now it is not, the French still did not retreat despite extremely heavy casualties, the Soviets knew that the French were going to fight hard this time, and the fierce attack of the French for several days in a row used up the ammunition of the Soviet army, and the next battle will become even more brutal.

What awaits the French? It's a white-knuckle fight! But when the French attacked again, the remaining Soviet troops all hid in the anti-artillery holes, and before the attack, the French opened fire, and the overwhelming shells smashed on the Soviet positions and trenches. Soviet positions were ravaged by artillery fire, and there were craters everywhere.

When the shelling stopped for half an hour, the French soldiers rushed to the Soviet position with their rifles, and the remaining Soviet soldiers hid in the anti-artillery hole and remained motionless, until the French army was about to rush to the position, the Soviet soldiers rushed out of the anti-artillery hole with bayonet rifles without bullets to meet the French troops who had just rushed to the position.

The white-knuckle battle began, the French army had never experienced such a tragic battle, the white knife went in, the red knife came out, and the Soviet army, which was not afraid of life and death, was much smaller than the French army in number, but they simply used bayonets to kill all the French troops who rushed to the position, but there were few Soviet soldiers left.
