Chapter 613: Battle Verdun!
Xiao Mao Qi was hesitating, while the British and French forces were in a hurry.
The city of Verdun is already full of holes, but however, she is still in the hands of the Anglo-French army, which has become a symbol of the existence of the Anglo-French army, with this city, we have not been defeated!
This spirit is still good, but Henry. Roberts is a little overwhelmed now......
"Look at the other side, they're mobilizing forces! We can see the delivery of supplies! We have to come up with a solution! ”
It's a bit rude, but the reason why he is so irritable, Roberts is also a reason, he is also a nobleman, very polite, but now I really can't help but hurry, the British and French forces are moving very slowly.
Is there a troop transfer?
Yes! Absolutely, but it's not as fast as the opponent.
It should be said that it is impossible to see the entire military operation of the other side with the eyes alone, but now there is a new means, that is, airplanes!
Battles in the sky are also going on, but the biggest contribution of such things as airplanes at present is in intelligence, and it is very important to be able to take pictures in the air and take pictures of the opponent's situation.
And from those photos, it can be seen that Germany has gathered a large number of troops and artillery in the northeast of Verdun, and these photos are not easy to obtain, and the opponent's plane is also flying in the sky!
The most unacceptable thing is that the planes of these two parties are now exactly the same, and the only thing that can distinguish one model is to paint it with different paint, and this paint ...... Sometimes it's both sides that make it bad. Farm the same ...... as your opponent
However, in such a situation, the actions of the British and French forces were not very fast!
"We are also moving troops, and we are also massing." Xia Fei replied a little helplessly.
The Anglo-French forces are not moving, and they have mobilized more than 100,000 troops here, but. Obviously, it's a lot worse than the opponent.
It's only 100,000, which is really not enough to see.
"If there's a gap here, we're all going to be finished." Henry. Roberts himself knew that this was said in vain, and he absolutely didn't believe that this guy Xia Fei would not understand this truth.
"General Roberts, we have a lot of difficulties, and there is nothing I can do about this." Of course, Xia Fei also understands the problem at hand.
At this time, the Anglo-French coalition army had a lot of problems, and their systems were different from each other's, so forget it. At least everyone has a common goal, and what really makes Xia Fei feel powerless is France's own business.
Henry. Philip. Petain, he used to guard this Verdun, and he did very well, and as a result, this guy is now a cow, and he is promoted. They are now in charge of the Paris High Command. And Xia Fei made a big mistake before, this guy is reckless. So, throw him at Verdun.
Yes, you kid want the army?
The 100,000 is still on the face of the Roberts family!
"Do you want to lose?" Henry. Roberts suddenly changed his question.
"Huh?" Xia Fei didn't understand a little. "Of course I don't want to lose."
Jokes, everyone can see, if this is opened, then the whole situation of the war will be completely biased towards the German side. Because after this is broken through by a single point, then the entire French defense line is in danger of collapsing.
If it was the early days of the war, it would be fine, but now, everyone has been fighting for so long, and the morale is up. In terms of supply, in all aspects, it is really about to be unbearable.
Therefore, Verdun must be defended, although the current situation is very bad, and the Anglo-French army is much worse than the German army.
"A friend of mine told me that there is a saying in the Chinese art of war, called "Surprise wins!" Henry. Roberts squinted his glasses like a fox from the British Isles.
"Huh?" Xia Fei was completely confused at this time, and what he thought about the most in his heart was ......
The art of war of the Chinese? Is that thing reliable?
It should be said that in the eyes of European military strategists, the art of war is Hannibal's crescent moon formation, luring the enemy in the middle and outflanking on both sides...... I don't know.
The reason why this is so is because of a characteristic of European military affairs, that is, the entire army, from top to bottom, the organization of this army is very, very good, and throughout the history of Europe, there have not been many crushing battles!
The so-called defeat war has often occurred in the history of our China, and this situation is that the armies on both sides are claimed to be hundreds of thousands of people, and as soon as they are hit, as long as the elite of this army is killed, then the entire army will collapse.
This matter, from the appearance of history, our war in China is really enjoyable, the whole is a general battle of hundreds of thousands of people, and there is almost no on the European side, many people think that our Chinese war is awesome, but in fact, if you look carefully, then you can see a lot of things.
The number of armies in Europe is small, and ah, these armies are more stupid, almost nothing special 'strange' out, only 'positive', just like the current world war, fought until now, the tactical tactics of the two sides, in fact, there is no surprise at all, everyone knows that Germany wants to fight France, then it has to come from the northeast of France, they are coming, and the British and French forces are waiting for them in this place.
Sun Tzu's art of war is exquisite, and it is right to win by surprise, and the European side is just the opposite, but in fact, people are not useless.
Walk in unison, walk in steps, turn backwards...... To put it bluntly, the Europeans are studying how to give full play to the inner strength of their troops, and all people, everyone, become parts of this war machine, completely obeying orders.
This is what the ancient Chinese army lacked, but it was not absent, the Qin army was disciplined, strong in combat, and every soldier was like an arm......
Therefore, there will be many, many defeats in China's history, and most of the soldiers do not obey the command, and the military order cannot be 'like a mountain'.
It was when Xia Fei heard that Henry. Roberts wants to play the Chinese art of war, his whole person is not good, really, he has never done this, moreover, it is the art of war of the Chinese, what is the matter with the Chinese?
What a backward nation are the Chinese? Can their art of war work?
Xia Fei really thinks so, but now, there seems to be no other way......
That Henry. Roberts' friend...... Of course, it's Yang Willy, but if you ask Yang Willy now, whether he said this or not, this guy will definitely say it......
I don't remember. ’
Well, that's definitely the case......
So, how did this big war turn out?
Thundered! Thundered!
On April 28, 1895, in the early morning of that day, the ferocious German artillery fire began!
There were explosions everywhere, and the soldiers in this battlefield, their ears were buzzing, and one counted as one.
"Teacher! What are you talking about? ”
"Adolf! What are you talking about? ”
The pair of master and apprentice in the trenches, Adolf and Marx. Webb was shouting to each other, and they were still close at hand, but they still couldn't hear each other clearly.
The whole earth was trembling, shaking everywhere, after the German artillery fired, the British and French troops also fired back, and their artillery fire was not vegetarian, among them was the cannonball of extremely scary caliber, which was sprayed by the big guy known as the Paris cannon!
The French are really fighting!
"For a moment! Don't rush up! "Marx. Webber finally had no choice but to shout into Adolf's ear.
"Huh?" Adolf still didn't seem to understand, but he also started biting Mr. Webb's ear, "Why?" Shouldn't we fight bravely? ”
"Nope! My little Adolf, you don't deserve to die in this place! No! Webb shouted again.
"This ......" Adolf was completely incomprehensible.
To be honest, in general, such words should not be shouted so loudly, as if they were being shouted out in the open, but now, Marx. Webb really didn't care about anything.
But after the shelling was over......
"Rush!"
"Charge! Put on your helmet! ”
"Watch the fire!"
Thousands of cannons bombarded for an hour, and the damage caused was simply shocking.
"Come here!"
Everyone was rushing, but Webb pulled Adolf into a crater.
"Adolf, we can't die! Do you understand? Can't die! ”
"Teacher, but I always feel ......"
"You're a genius! It's a waste for you to die on the battlefield! ”
"Teacher ......"
"Don't say it, teacher, I also know that this is a shame, but let me tell you, in this current war, we are about to lose, and now we are dying on the battlefield, it is better for us to think about how to rebuild Germany!"
It has to be said that Marx. What Weber said was very philosophical.
He thinks not about the present, but about the future......
"Does it have to be like this?" After all, Adolf is still young, even if he is very smart, but it is inevitable that there will be a competitive spirit in his heart.
A man, on the battlefield, as long as his blood is not empty, then why does he not want to win? Even if there is danger on the battlefield, it can't be stopped!
No way, men are like this, really.
"Of course, you don't know yet, do you? That Pacific Empire has declared war on our allies early on, and if they join the fray and land anywhere in Europe, then we will all lose! "Marx. Weber's words, he was embarrassed to say.
"......" Adolf was shocked, because he really didn't know.
Naturally, Germany has blocked some news, which is normal and can't disturb the morale of the army.
However, I am really unwilling...... Because Verdun in front of you has been broken through!
Under the pressure of ferocious shelling, the Germans tore a hole in Verdun, and they rushed in! (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you! Thank you so much!
Happy New Year, everyone! Monkey Sailei!
