The German army occupied the entire territory of Belgium on March 21, and only a small half of the British troops who had just landed were completely annihilated, and the landing site had to be changed to the territory of the developed country, and the French troops also withdrew from Belgium and frantically built military defense facilities on the Franco-Belgian border to resist the German attack.

Originally, the French army thought that the Verdun fortress could withstand the German army for a while, but they did not expect that the Verdun fortress fell in only a few days, and the Verdun fortress was surrounded under the frantic attack of the German tank troops, and the French army hurriedly broke through the siege and lost Yan zhòng.

After the defeat in the border battle, the French retreated to the south of the Marne under the pursuit of the Germans, and at this time the French army had only two army groups here, namely the 4th and 5th armies, and the British troops who had landed had just arrived in Paris and were rushing towards the Marne.

In order to get the British army and the 6th Army formed later to the battlefield, the government of the developed country dispatched more than 2,000 vehicles to transport troops, which was the first time that the French army used automobiles.

The Germans concentrated more than 50 divisions on the line from Paris to the Marne, under the command of Moltke, the chief of the German General Staff, and 700,000 Balkan troops were approaching, and the allied forces had already crossed the German-French border.

The Anglo-French forces urgently deployed a million troops in the area from Paris to the Marne, but because the time was very urgent, both the military defense facilities and the material preparation were very insufficient.

"Whether the German army is similar to the bomber intelligence department in China has not yet been determined, but we have to guard against it, but I think the German army will not have a lot of planes, so the intelligence department will not have no information at all, so the main thing is the German army, their tanks are much more than ours!" The commander of the French army, General Xia Fei, said with a headache.

"Mr. President has given me an order that I must hold my present position and not fail, otherwise Paris will be completely exposed to the attack of the German army, which will never be tolerated!"

"The British army has not yet arrived, and it is difficult for our army alone to resist the Germans and the so-called Balkan coalition forces. This battle is very important, once defeated, the blow to our army is very big, so we must win! France will win! ”

"Victory!"

The eyes of the officers were full of fire, and the developing countries that lost their hegemonic status on the European continent after losing the Franco-Prussian War were very unwilling, especially these militants of the new generation, who always wanted to restore the glory and status of the hegemon of the European continent and wash away the shame brought about by the Franco-Prussian War.

The Germans did not give the French much respite, and Moltke, who learned that the British had arrived in Paris, immediately launched an attack on the French army, and the three armies fought fiercely against the French 4th and 5th armies at the front.

The Germans dispatched all their tanks and rushed towards the French army with great vigour, and the French army did not expect the Germans to attack so quickly and was taken by surprise.

Boom, hundreds of tanks pressed against the French position, and the first large-scale use of tanks in Europe was born.

"Quickly let the tank troops on the ground, and the artillery behind will shoot me at the German tanks!" When General Feixia saw the large tank force of the German army, he immediately set his tank unit up.

For the French army, the tank is still a kind of weapons and equipment that has just been put into service, and there is no time to further study it, so it can only learn from the sporadic tank combat tactics obtained from China, whether it is experience or operation, the army is far inferior to the German army, after all, the German army is a tank that is researched and produced together with China.

With nearly 500 tanks versus 200 tanks, the Germans had the advantage in numbers alone, and it was an unwise decision for General Xia Fei to go directly to the top with tanks, but he had to do it.

The German tanks seemed to be significantly superior to the French tanks in terms of performance, both in terms of speed and agility. The French tanks are all light tanks, while the German army is half light and half heavy, because the tank drawings that France exchanged from China are light tanks, and they are still exploring the heavy ones, where to compare with the German army.

"Boom ......"

The sight of hundreds of tanks firing was spectacular, and hundreds of shells fell on the French positions in unison, stirring up a puff of ash.

It didn't take long for the tanks of both sides to fight, the French tank troops were not the opponents of the German army, and the German tanks often cooperated with each other to encircle and kill the French tanks, and the French tanks were very passive.

"Bang !!"

I saw a German sniper lying on the ground with a long sniper rifle to snipe those French tanks, the bullet directly broke through the armor of the French tank, and the French soldier driving the tank inside had been hit, and the tank suddenly stopped for a while, and then was killed by the German tank that caught up.

"Oh, it's a sniper rifle, a sniper rifle that can pierce a tank, God why do you favor Germany so much!" An officer was shocked to see through his glasses that his tank had been killed by German snipers and tanks, and that he was shocked by the sniper rifle that could penetrate all tanks.

Many French officers noticed the strangeness of the tank troops, and many of them suddenly stopped moving, allowing the German tanks to attack. After a closer look, General Xiafei and the others also saw that powerful sniper rifle.

"Fack, do all the people in the intelligence department eat, how come they don't even know that the Germans have this kind of weapon, my tank ......

Seeing that his tank was easily killed by the German army one after another, General Xia Fei was angry, the Germans had weapons to deal with tanks and they didn't know, you must know that they and Britain were still researching to deal with tank weapons, but they didn't expect Germany to be ahead of them again.

"Kill those snipers, we can't let them continue sniping!"

General Xia Fei saw that there were not many snipers, so he relaxed a little, ready to destroy those snipers.

"Rush, for the Empire!"

After the tank troops annihilated part of the French tanks, they cut through the blocking of the French tank troops, and more than a dozen tanks rushed to the French defense line with the soldiers behind.

"Da Da Da ......"

The machine gunners on the German tanks frantically harvested the lives of the French soldiers, and the heavy tanks directly crushed the fleeing French soldiers.

The French soldiers were not all bastards, many soldiers wanted to blow up the tank with grenades, but most of them were killed by the German soldiers near the tank, and the tank machine gunners shot the French soldiers who fell to the ground in front of them over and over again before continuing to advance.

The German army and the Chinese army have a very deep military exchange, the Chinese tank unit encountered all kinds of attacks The German army has long been clear, and even inferred from one case to another, this kind of enemy soldiers who pretend to be dead and want to blow up the tank They also have a way to deal with it, and each tank will be followed by several cavalry behind the butt to kill the enemy soldiers who pretend to be dead.

By half an hour, two-thirds of the French tanks had been destroyed or captured, and the remaining third were consciously shrinking backwards. In this way, the more German tank units pulled out to attack the defensive line, and the French defense line crumbled.

The casualties of the German tank troops were less than one-tenth of that of the French army, which shows the huge gap between the two sides.

"General, the casualties of the tank troops are too strict and must be withdrawn, otherwise the tank troops will all be finished!"

"Retreat, the Tang tank troops have retreated, they must hold the defensive line, reinforcements are coming soon!" General Feixia was sweating at this time, and the situation on the battlefield was beyond his expectations, the Germans had sniper tank rifles, and the tank troops were surrounded and killed, which was also a kind of helplessness.

The French tank troops retreated, leaving only about fifty vehicles, which made General Feixia's heart ache for a while, and he hurriedly reported the situation here to the president, urging reinforcements to rush to the rescue, otherwise they would not last long.

With the retreat of the French tank forces, all the German tank units launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the two major French armies, and the first line of French defense completely collapsed, and the French army was forced to enter the line further south after leaving behind the corpses on the ground. The French set up a single line of defense south of the Marne, and only when all three lines of defense were breached could the French defense be truly defeated.

The French army lost Yan Zòng in the first line of defense, especially the tank troops were directly disabled, and the remaining soldiers were able to finish the second line of defense, no more, no less.

The Germans broke through the first line of defense and immediately launched an attack on the second line of defense, and the 1st Army went directly from Verdun to the rear of the French army south of the Marne, dealing a fatal blow to the French.

"General, it's not good, the Germans have gone around from Verdun to our rear, the rear can't resist, the last line of defense has been opened by the Germans, and soon we will face the front and rear attacks of the Germans."

"What?"

General Feixia couldn't believe that his rear would be occupied by the Germans, so how could he fight?

At this time, the Battle of the Marne had departed from the trajectory of the first Battle of the Marne in the original history, and the German army captured Verdun with lightning speed and firmly grasped the Verdun area; The French army was not strong enough, the British army had not yet arrived, and the German army was not a big opponent of the German army at all.

"Retreat, retreat to the lower Marne!"

The French troops, who were flanked by the Germans in front and rear, had to abandon their positions and retreat, the rear was occupied, and their supplies, weapons and ammunition were all collected by the Germans, where could they continue to fight.

General Feixia fled to Reims with his army, and the German army behind was desperate and chased all the way to Reims.

The fleeing French army met with the British and French troops who came to the rescue in Reims, and used the Battle Fort Pompelle in Reims as a barrier to resist the German attack, and prepared to counterattack the German army.

When the German pursuers arrived at Reims, they found that the British and French forces had concentrated a large number of troops here, and did not act on their own, but retreated to confront the British and French forces, waiting for the arrival of a large force.

Reims is the barrier and gateway of Paris, with heavy strategic significance, the British and French forces did not want Reims to be breached, and they have gathered heavy troops to defend Reims.
