Two hours into the battle, Crown Prince William determined that the opposing troops had been replaced.

In fact, when the first attack failed, Crown Prince William should have confirmed it, but perhaps because he was unwilling, Crown Prince William organized another attack, which completely gave up.

In two attacks, a full four battalions of troops, let alone attacking the 185 heights, lost their ability to attack because of heavy casualties before they could touch the edge of the 185 heights, and they could only return to the starting position in embarrassment.

It was really miserable, more than 2,000 troops, quite a few returned, but at most only one-fifth remained intact, and the rest were either killed directly by heavy machine guns, or were wounded during the charge and were forced to withdraw from the battle sequence.

Among them, almost all the junior officers who led the team to participate in the charge were killed, and they were "named" not long after the charge began. This seriously affected the coordination and command between the troops, and when the judgment of the officers was required to make timely adjustments, the death of the officers caused the soldiers to fall into confusion, and finally the attack had to be forced to end.

And at this stage, the tanks of the 6th regiment have not even been driven up......

This combat effectiveness is really a bit big.

Faced with such a defense, Crown Prince Wilhelm looked at his chief of staff, Fritz Rosenberg, with an ugly face, to get some advice from the chief of staff.

Crown Prince Wilhelm was doomed to be disappointed, and Fritz Rosenberg looked in the direction of 185 Heights with blank eyes, muttering to himself subconsciously.

Crown Prince Wilhelm listened attentively, and Fritz Rosenberg said: "How is this possible, a large number of accurate shooters, with strong fortresses, heavy machine guns, and tanks to protect the position, artillery cannot help...... How can this be attacked? How can this be reproduced? ”

Crown Prince William is not in a hurry, at this time, Crown Prince William can only pin his hopes on Fritz Rosenberg, if Fritz Rosenberg can't do anything, then whoever comes over can only be helpless.

Halfway through, Fritz Rosenberg retracted his gaze: "Your Highness, retreat." Reluctantly, I would say that it is not a good time to go on the offensive. ”

"Not right now? So when is it appropriate? "Crown Prince Wilhelm was in a bad mood, he didn't want to hear advice from Fritz Rosenberg to withdraw from the army.

"Maybe next time, when we're more prepared. We can force them to leave their positions, and then find an opportunity to defeat Qin in a campaign of movement. Fritz Rosenberg did not use the word "defeat" rather than the more radical words of "annihilation."

Fritz Rosenberg meant to concentrate a large number of troops, and then press on the whole to defeat Qin Zhiyuan's left and right flanks, so Qin Zhiyuan could only take the initiative to leave the position in order not to be surrounded. And as long as they left the fortified position, the Germans could find an opportunity to defeat Qin Zhiyuan.

This opportunity can only be in the future, not now. Now the Germans have only 6 divisions, and they do not have the ability to advance on the whole line.

Of course, this is only a possibility, for what does not happen, anything is possible.

"Next time...... So what are we this time? Crown Prince William's expression was complicated.

Crown Prince Wilhelm sent troops to Fairon Tadenoy in order to rescue the German royal family from an embarrassing predicament, and if he withdrew now, it would mean that Crown Prince Wilhelm's plan had completely failed. Far from easing the royal family's predicament, this will only make it worse.

This is unacceptable to Crown Prince William.

"At least we know who we're up against." Fritz Rosenberg's expression was also mixed.

Fritz Rosenberg and many French and British generals have fought each other, and although they have won and lost each other, those people have never given Fritz Rosenberg the feeling of powerlessness that he has now.

It is powerlessness, if Fritz Rosenberg is proficient in Chinese, he will describe it as "having the intention to kill the thief, but not being able to return to heaven".

Fritz Rosenberg is, after all, a strong-minded adult, and he is not so easy to beat. Fritz Rosenberg, who was unwilling, looked at the 185 Heights and secretly swore: Qin, when I come back next time, I will definitely defeat you.

"If I admit defeat like this, how can I explain to my subjects at home......" Crown Prince William worried.

"You don't have to explain to anyone." Fritz Rosenberg looked at Crown Prince Wilhelm with expectant eyes, and there was something unusual in his tone: "Your Highness......"

"Your Highness" seems to be a light in the darkness, the feeling of enlightenment and seeing the sun.

"Yes, I am the crown prince of the German Empire, and I don't need to explain it to anyone." Crown Prince William had a sense of enlightenment, and he was desperate for power, for the throne of the emperor whom he had not felt so strong and urgent before.

Fritz Rosenberg stood quietly half a step behind Crown Prince Wilhelm, his little eyes now shining with expectation, a little out of place, but still very similar to the look of a father looking like a son.

It is the kind of "my family has a child who has just grown up" gaze, that is, pride and expectation.

Feron Tadenoy, Joint Command.

Pierre walked quickly into the combat command room with a telegram, since the start of the war, Qin Zhiyuan and Bastian have been staying here, never leaving half a step, and even sleeping on the sofa in the combat command room.

"General, the rearguard of the Germans has moved, they have sent about two regiments of troops, and the direction of advance is in the area of Tadenoy. At the same time, the air force had intelligence that German units in Reims were being dispatched, also targeting the Tadenoy area. There was irrepressible excitement in Pierre's anxious expression.

The Tadenoy region is the choke point of Reims on the road to Feron Tadnoy.

Here is an illustration of the terrain around Reims and Ferenta de Noy. There are a large number of rivers in this area, such as the Marne, the Aisne, the Fair, the Weiler, the Wessle, etc., and the Germans and the French blew up a large number of bridges to prevent each other from attacking, and there are only a few places that can be passed, and Tadenoy is one of them.

Since it was a choke point, the Germans must have been on guard, and Crown Prince Wilhelm put a regiment of troops in Tadenoy to ensure the smooth flow of the rear road.

The Germans of Reims and the Germans of Fair-on-Tadenoy were both on the move, both targeting Tadenoy, so the Germans were ready to make an attempt.

"They're going to run!" Qin Zhiyuan broke the sky in one mouth.

"Thank God, we survived, we won!" Bastian was ecstatic, and it took a long time for him to react.

"It's too early to win, let's see what we can get." Qin Zhiyuan's focus is different from Bastien's, Qin Zhiyuan also wants to get greater results: "Order the pagoda, advance at full speed towards Tadenois, at all costs, must capture there, they will not pass." ”

"Yes generals, they!" Pierre's face flushed and his expression was agitated.

"They won't pass!" This famous slogan inspired countless French people to rush to the battlefield one after another during the Battle of Verdun, pushing away the corpses of their fallen comrades, lying on the blood-stained positions of their comrades, and defending Paris and the honor of France with their lives.

Now, the slogan is sounding again.
