Qin Zhiyuan sent troops to pursue the fleeing Crown Prince William's legion, and he himself was still sitting in Faironta de Noy, ready to adjust the response according to the situation of the front-line troops at any time.

Well, that's a more urbane way of putting it.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan had already sent all the troops in his hands, and all he could do now was to wait for the results of the battle. Even if the first division can't eat the Crown Prince William's corps, or even if Chen Kangjian's armored troops are surrounded and annihilated, Qin Zhiyuan can't do much.

Fortunately, the Chinese soldiers of the first division were competitive enough, and most of the good news came back.

"It is reported that the 32nd Division has taken all the prisoners in the German sniper positions, a total of more than 1,400 Germans have been killed, almost the same number of Germans have been wounded, and about 11,000 German troops have surrendered, including 117 officers......" Pierre said in a high-pitched voice.

When Qin Zhiyuan chose to pursue Crown Prince William's corps, Pierre firmly supported Qin Zhiyuan's decision, which would definitely win a very important bonus for Pierre, you must know that Pierre has been carrying the rank of colonel for too long, and Pierre wants to change the colonel's collar badge to a general.

The power of the tank force can be seen from the proportion of German casualties, when facing the tank force, the infantry really does not have much way, in front of the tank either dead or wounded, almost one to one casualty ratio is difficult to fight in the traditional infantry battle.

"Congratulations, Qin, I should be sorry for my previous thoughts, that almost cost us this victory." The expression of Armstrong, the chief of staff of the 32nd Division, was unnatural.

As a Frenchman, Armstrong chose a conservative position when Qin Zhiyuan wanted to pursue the Germans, which to a certain extent would have become a negative teaching material in the eyes of the military department, if it were not for Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre's insistence on pursuing, France would really miss this victory.

You know, the French are so desperate for a victory, even a small victory, which deserves to be written about at this critical moment.

"Chris, it doesn't have to be this way. Your idea is not wrong either, I know you are for Paris. Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to be aggressive, and the facts had already made the best response.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan say this, Armstrong's expression became more natural. Of course, Armstrong's face is more happy, as a Frenchman, Armstrong has enough reasons to be happy, this is a big credit, to be able to participate in it, no matter how much credit he has, and when he retires, Armstrong has enough capital to brag to his grandson.

"Chen Kangjian of the armored unit reported that the armored unit had occupied the Tadenoy area at noon, and the three regiments deployed by the Germans there were routed, killing more than 1,200 enemies and capturing 5,800 German soldiers." Pierre continued to report.

There are staff officers who are guarding the communication office, and as long as there is a telegram coming, it will be sent to Pierre immediately, and Pierre will report to Qin Zhiyuan, which is Pierre's prerogative as the chief of staff of the First Division.

"5800, plus more than 11,000, we have captured 17000 Germans, this is already a reorganized German division, I think we will be able to report to Paris now." Bastian was in high spirits, he had never been so excited in his life.

"Don't worry, there will be more." Qin Zhiyuan was not in a hurry.

Although he knew that it was unlikely, Qin Zhiyuan still couldn't help but fantasize about capturing Crown Prince William.

Think about it, this is the real German crown prince, if Crown Prince Wilhelm hands over his weapons to Qin Zhiyuan, then that scene will become the biggest news in the world this year, and Qin Zhiyuan will definitely let people take pictures of that scene and keep it forever.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm very anxious. Qin, you may not understand the urgency in my heart, God, I want to announce this news to the world. We have captured a German regrouper, and our own casualties are less than a tenth of theirs......" Bastian kept muttering, and in this way he was calming his agitation.

But Bastian was not destined to be relieved, because as the war progressed, the battle reports kept coming together, and the number of German prisoners kept increasing.

"The Panzers routed the German 20th Infantry Division, which was coming to Tadenoy from the direction of Reims, they killed at least two thousand Germans and captured more than 13 thousand, the Germans fled only with their division command and cavalry units, as well as a part of the rearguard, and the rest were captured." Pierre reported again.

"Great!"

Pierre excited.

"Long live the Panzers!"

"Hooray......

Armstrong shouted slogans, and the Joint Command rejoiced.

"The armored corps was attacked by the Imperial Prince's Corps, the Germans attacked fiercely, a part of the tanks destroyed the German artillery positions, nearly 40 guns were destroyed by the attacking tank troops, and five tanks were destroyed in the battle, so far, a total of 21 tanks of the armored forces have withdrawn from the battle for various reasons, and the currently broken tanks are being repaired, and it is estimated that some of them can be restored to combat effectiveness."

"Liu Zizheng's regiment caught up with the crown prince's corps, and so far it has received nearly 10,000 prisoners, the Germans' will to fight is not strong, they seem to have given up, only a few Germans resisted, and most of the Germans raised their hands and surrendered without resistance."

"The Griff Regiment broke through the defensive positions of one of the Crown Prince's Guards Divisions, captured a large number of high-ranking German officers, including General Fritz Rosenberg, Chief of the General Staff of the Crown Prince's Corps, and is currently searching for the whereabouts of Crown Prince Wilhelm, but according to the information provided by Fritz Rosenberg, Crown Prince Wilhelm has returned to Reims, this information has not been confirmed, and Xu has sent troops to search the flank."

As more news came, the cheers began to fade, and people's ambitions grew like weeds in the spring, and everyone was waiting for the news, the news that would shake the whole world.

When Pierre reported to Fritz Rosenberg that "Crown Prince Wilhelm has returned to Reims", the disappointment was palpable in the eyes of the Frenchmen present.

Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care, it's good to be able to catch Crown Prince William, it's normal not to catch it, Prince William is a Christmas egg or something like that for Qin Zhiyuan, it's good to have him, and it won't affect Qin Zhiyuan's merits.

With the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Foch and Leotai, no one can erase it.

But today was destined to be the day that Bastian had a heart attack, and before Bastian could figure out how many German prisoners the 1st Division had captured, Pierre came to report again: "There is news of William, a squad of scouts who were considered missing yesterday has captured William, less than two kilometers from Tadenoy!" ”

Caught?

Bastian suddenly felt a little dizzy.
