On the morning of August 2o, on the border between the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, twenty kilometers north of Antwerp, the 1st and 2nd armies of the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Belgium had already assembled and stood by. The other four corps were also in Türenhout and Lommer in northern Belgium.

On the positions of the Belgian 6th Army, two heavy artillery battalions and 1o brigade field artillery battalions, a total of more than 280 cannons, the muzzles pointed north. On the side of each cannon, dozens of shells were piled up. After the order to attack was given, more than 200 cannons would hit tens of thousands of shells on the Dutch positions as quickly as possible, destroy the Dutch fortifications, and then break through the Dutch defense line and drive straight in.

At 7:2o a.m., orders from Brussels reached the commanders of the various infantry corps. The commanders of the various armies, in accordance with the original plan, gave the order to attack.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The roar of cannons shattered the silence of the morning light. Shells whizzed towards the positions of the Dutch 6th Army. According to the shooting elements that had been marked during the day, the shells of the Belgian 6th Army were able to accurately fall on the positions of the Dutch 6th Army.

Dense explosions sounded from the positions of the Dutch 6th Army, and clusters of flames swept over the positions of the Dutch 6th Army, and the fortifications such as firepower points and bunkers built by the Dutch 6th Army were blown into the sky under the fierce shelling of the Belgian 6th Army.

"Oh God! We were attacked by the Belgians! The panicked Dutchman, who had just come out of the barracks, had just come across something like this, which made them scatter and flee for their lives.

"Damn! Fight back, give me a quick fight back! A major general officer of the Dutch 6th Army ordered loudly.

But. Under the sudden blow, the reaction of the Dutch 6th Army was really not flattering. A large number of Dutch people fled desperately, and there were very few who actually turned into positions and prepared to defend themselves against the attack of the Belgian 6th Army.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands was originally a small country. The country's population is just over 3 million. Although, at the London Conference, the Kingdom of the Netherlands promised to mobilize an army of three hundred thousand people. However, their mobilization efficiency is very low, and even now, only 60 percent of the mobilization has been completed. The Kingdom of the Netherlands borders both the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia. In order to protect against threats from both directions. The Kingdom of the Netherlands divided the 200,000 6 armies, which had completed mobilization, on the border.

The original standing 6th Army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was only a few tens of thousands of people, especially after joining the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the Dutch thought that their security was already guaranteed, militarily. is even more reluctant to invest. As a result, the 6th Army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was not only poorly equipped, but also poorly trained. The hastily mobilized troops, many of whom were sent to the battlefield just by learning how to shoot. This is simply irresponsible to these soldiers, to let them go to the battlefield is to let them go to death. Of course, this also led to the fact that the army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was completely unable to make a correct translation when it was attacked by surprise.

On the other hand, the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Belgium was trained by the officer corps of the Chinese Empire. Their combat effectiveness has already advanced towards the world's first-class. Although there are still some gaps with the real world-class 6th Army. However, when faced with such a third-rate country as the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It undoubtedly has the upper hand.

This time, the 6 infantry corps sent by the Kingdom of Belgium to the Northern Front were originally the elite troops of the Kingdom of Belgium. It consisted of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Corps, each of which was responsible for the main attack in one direction. In addition, there is a newly formed infantry corps to assist. With the combination, the strength of the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Belgium can be fully wielded.

Artillery preparation of the 6 Army of the Kingdom of Belgium. It was done in less than half an hour. The positions of the Dutch 6th Army were already in shambles. Moreover. While the artillery of the Kingdom of Belgium opened heavy fire, the artillery of the Kingdom of the Netherlands seemed to be dumb and did not return fire at all.

"Attack!" Major General Carmon, commander of the 6th Infantry Corps of the 1st Army of the Kingdom of Belgium, gave the order to attack. Five infantry brigades under the command of the 1st Infantry Corps crossed the border on a ten-kilometer line and entered the territory of the Dutch 6th Army. The 11th Infantry Corps, which cooperated with the 11th Infantry Corps, also sent several infantry brigades to assist them.

The attack of the Belgian 6th Army was very smooth. The resistance they encountered was not fierce, and the Dutch seemed to be stunned by the heavy shelling that had preceded them. In less than an hour, the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Belgium had broken through the defense line of the Dutch 6th Army and entered the territory of the Netherlands.

The 1st Infantry Corps and the 11th Infantry Corps, with an army of more than 70,000 men, captured the southern city of Rosendaal in the Kingdom of the Netherlands in just one morning, and then marched non-stop to the important city of Breda in the south of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Similarly, the 2nd and 12th armies of the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Belgium, which marched from Tirenhout, also succeeded in tearing apart the defense line of the Dutch 6th Army and attacking the territory of the Netherlands. The 3rd and 13th armies of the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Belgium, which came out of Lommer, also broke through the defensive line of the Dutch 6th Army.

It can be said that this attack of the Kingdom of Belgium has made a very good start. This is despite the fact that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has deployed 100,000 men on the border. However, in the face of an attack of 200,000 Belgian troops, especially in the event of a surprise attack, the army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was completely untouchable. In such a situation, they suffered heavy losses and lost their positions, which is also understandable.

Almost at the same time, the 300,000-strong army of the Kingdom of Prussia also attacked from the eastern border of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the strength of the 6th Army of the Kingdom of Prussia has always dominated Europe. The 100,000 Dutch army was no match for the 300,000 Prussian 6th Army at all. Their resistance collapsed in less than an hour. 300,000 Prussian troops, marching straight into the Netherlands.

In this battle on the morning of August 2o, the Dutch 6th Army suffered heavy losses. More than 50,000 people were annihilated by the Belgian 6th Army, and the remaining 50,000 people, wolf bèi, fled. In the process of escaping, many people directly took off their military uniforms and became deserters. It is one thing to be loyal to the country, but it is another thing to face a crisis of life and death. Many people will make selfish choices in this situation.

The 100,000 Dutch troops who resisted the Kingdom of Prussia suffered even more heavy losses. More than 70,000 were annihilated, and the remaining 30,000 fled to the heart of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has a fatal weakness due to its small size, and that is its lack of strategic depth. So much so that in the face of a strong enemy, they simply can't resist it.

In Brussels, the capital of Belgium, King Leopold I was restless, and after giving the order to attack, he waited for telegrams from the front. He could not be at ease until he received the telegram of victory.

Although, Leopold I constantly comforted himself, the current Belgian 6th Army is no longer what it used to be. Coupled with the simultaneous dispatch of troops with the Kingdom of Prussia, more than 500,000 people attacked the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands could not resist it in any way. However, no one is sure that there will be no accidents.

Fortunately, Leopold I had already sent his wife and son to the Chinese Empire, and he was the only one left in the Kingdom of Belgium. Even after the fall of the Kingdom of Belgium, his family survived. Even if he had three longs and two shorts, he believed that with the support of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Belgium would definitely be able to recover.

"Your Majesty, the battle report from the front line has returned!" The Minister of the 6th Army, Caton, ran into the office of Leopold I with a smile on his face.

"Did we win?" Leopold I's voice trembled a little.

"Won! We won. The troops on the front line successfully broke through the defense line of the Dutch 6th Army, and we annihilated the Dutch 6th Army with at least 50,000 men. The Dutch 6th Army had fled with the wolves beaten and fled, and our army was on a long march, and our ally, the Kingdom of Prussia, which had also wiped out the Dutch army deployed on the border, was attacking the heart of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Dutch are dead this time! Caton said excitedly.

"Haha! God forbid! Leopold I burst out laughing.

Originally, the Kingdom of Belgium was in absolute crisis, and France, Great Britain and the Kingdom of the Netherlands would besiege the Kingdom of Belgium on three sides. Only to the east can you get support from the Kingdom of Prussia. However, in the case of being besieged by the enemy, the Kingdom of Belgium was almost dead, and it was difficult to withstand the enemy's attack. But now, the strategy proposed by the Chinese Empire, in which the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia joined forces, undoubtedly caught the Kingdom of the Netherlands by surprise. The destruction of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is certainly not in the interests of the North Atlantic Military Alliance. When the time comes, the North Atlantic Military Alliance will be busy rescuing the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the pressure on the Kingdom of Belgium will be much less.

"Telegraph to the Chinese Empire, tell them that we have won the first stage. Our army is marching on Amsterdam, and soon, we will destroy the Kingdom of the Netherlands! King Leopold I said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Caton nodded.

Compared to the agitated and uncontrollable Belgian King Leopold I, the Dutch were undoubtedly miserable. Originally, the Dutch were also preparing to use the power of their allies to completely destroy the Kingdom of Belgium. However, I didn't expect that when I woke up, the army of the Kingdom of Belgium had already invaded the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. (To be continued)
