Chapter 358 358 That's a pain in the battle

"Churchill is still on the throne." Lin Youde put down the detailed report from the United Kingdom, "And the Churchill of this time and space feels more extreme than the previous time and space." ”

Lin Youde has read more than one version of Churchill's biography, and in all of them, Churchill has a series of things in common: sharp and radical, aggressive and adventurous, and at the same time extremely disgusted with leftists and their rhetoric.

And Churchill in this time and space, as soon as he came to power, announced the ban on pan-humanism, completely restoring his true colors.

Viola stood up, reached over the entire desk, took the report from Lin Youde, and looked through it carefully.

Lin Youde stared at Viola, who was concentrating on flipping through the report, for a few seconds, and then decided not to disturb her for the time being, and continued to look through another document on his desktop.

It was a report on the deployment of French military forces deduced by the Eye of Odin using the information gathered, and the analysts of the Eye of Odin divided the battlefield into multiple parts, marking the presumed military deployment and related evidence, etc., in touching detail. Next, all it takes is for the Air Force to conduct aerial reconnaissance to verify the accuracy of Odin's Eye guess, and then the attack can be arranged based on this report.

After Lin Youde turned to the last page of the report, he turned back and read it again. It seems that the French government forces are following the example of the last great war, distributing combat forces evenly across the entire front, and then deploying reserves behind the line in positions that are convenient for maneuver, ready to fill the breaches that have been punched in the front.

"No progress." Lin Youde shook his head.

The reason why the French army was able to deploy troops on the front without interruption in the last war was because France was in a state of national mobilization at that time, with millions of combat troops, and at that time there were also British expeditionary forces and French troops to cooperate in the operation, and the British troops guarded the northern section of the demarcation line of the western front trenches, basically including the famous bloody battlefield Flanders fields and large sections of trenches did not need the French army to worry.

At this time, the front of the French government army was a little longer than the front of the French army back then, but the number of troops was far inferior to that of the French army at that time.

At this time, Viola put down the London situation report and looked up at Lin Youde: "Does this mean that we are about to go to war with the British and French forces?" ”

"That's not going to happen, Britain is not ready for war. And Chamberlain only died suddenly, and the people who supported him are still there, which is not the same as my original time and space public no longer supports him to let him step down. Lin Youde grinned at Viola, "Even Churchill can't immediately make these people turn to support the war, he needs time to overcome these difficulties one by one and clear the obstacles to war." ”

In Lin Youde's original time and space, until Germany invaded the Netherlands, Chamberlain's appeasement policy was quite marketable in Britain, and it was the mustache himself who pushed the British people to war, but even when Chamberlain stepped down and Churchill was in charge, there were some people in Britain who expressed a tendency to capitulation, but Churchill took an iron fist against these people.

Because of Lin Youde here, Germany has not invaded any country until now, and has always expanded in a "peaceful" way, so the tendency of the British people not to want to go to war should be higher than in the previous time and space, although Churchill relied on Chamberlain's sudden death and Isabella's promotion to become prime minister in advance, but it is also very difficult to start a war immediately.

However, Lin Youde has basically figured out the characteristics of the egg-sore star who created this time and space: it turns out that the people who explode in time and space will still be bunkers in this time and space, so Winston Churchill will never be an ordinary person, he must have the ability to clear the obstacles and start a war with Germany, it is only a matter of time.

"The best way to avoid a war between Britain and us," Lin Youde said to Viola, who still looked worried, "is to bring the French civil war to a speedy end." Once the French civil war is over, Britain will lose the reason to go to war, even Winston Churchill estimates that it is impossible to find other reasons to go to war with us in a short time, and according to the British constitution, he, the acting prime minister, can only be the end of the term that originally belonged to Chamberlain, and then if he wants to continue to be prime minister, he must win the general election, and if he can't win the election, Isabella can't help him, and use the queen's authority to keep him in the cabinet. ”

"I also know that the surest way is to end the French Civil War quickly," Viola sighed softly, "but if we don't go directly to the war, it seems a little difficult to get the French Civil War to end immediately." ”

Lin Youde pursed his lips.

Just as Churchill said to Isabella, even with the support of the British, the French government army was basically in a situation of inevitable defeat, because the people's hearts were all towards the revolutionary army, and every day there were young people full of enthusiasm who crossed the military dividing line between the two sides and joined the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army was expanding every day.

In the occupied areas of the French government, strikes and marches were carried out all day long, and the French government forces had to detach their forces to suppress the demonstrations and deal with the guerrillas formed by small farmers everywhere.

In the long run, sooner or later, the revolutionary army will have far more strength than the French government army, and will overwhelm the French government defense line and occupy Paris with a devastating force.

The question is how long this process takes. If it drags on for about a year, Churchill is likely to clear the way and let the British army directly enter the war, and by that time, as the big brother of the human innovation alliance, Germany will certainly not be able to sit idly by, so the quagmire of the Western Front will be officially formed.

This is the last thing Lin Youde wants to see.

But it was not so easy for the revolutionary army to win the battle quickly. The revolutionary army was not equipped with assault weapons such as tanks, let alone practiced infantry and tank coordination and joint ground and air attacks, and their commanders were either workers in the upper echelons of the struggle, or young people who had only learned the outdated theories of the last war in military academies, and basically did not understand Lin Youde's theory of armored mobile warfare. Therefore, the revolutionary army can only win the battle through the infantry attacks that have appeared many times in the last war, and to be honest, Lin Youde is not very optimistic about the revolutionary army units, which are mostly newly recruited recruits.

But at this time, we can only hope for a miracle.

Lin Youde put the report on the deployment of the French government army on the table, threw the entire article to Viola on the other side of the table, and then said: "I can only hope that they will perform at a higher level, and hand over this report to the liaison officer sent by the French revolutionary military government, and ask him to fly back to Lyon immediately and hand this over to the headquarters of the revolutionary army." Maybe the generals of the revolutionary army can find a breakthrough in this information. Let's wait a week or two to see how the revolutionary army's upcoming spring offensive will work. ”

**

Alain Delon looked at the recruits in the new unit handed over to him, and couldn't help but sweat at the upcoming attack.

After successfully defending the Meuse salient on the north side of Verdun, Alain Delon was relieved of his original command and transferred to the commander of the new 6th Division of the Revolutionary Army.

Naturally, Alain Delon rubbed his fists and wanted to take a breath of the vicious anger of being bombed by government artillery in Verdun.

As a result, when he arrived at the unit, he found that the new Sixth Division was a brand new unit in the literal sense, not only were the soldiers newly recruited and rushed to the field after only a few weeks of training, but even the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level were almost all newcomers - Alain Delon estimated that more than two-thirds of the non-commissioned officers were guys who had been promoted in the line of fire in previous battles, and there was no problem in terms of courage, but the combat quality of the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level was very worrying.

With such troops on the offensive, it is almost certain that the command does not count on them to tear open the defensive line, and there must be a division of veterans to follow behind. The recruit division is just a pioneer as a veteran division, and its greatest role is to exhaust the enemy army and deplete the enemy's ammunition reserves.

Alain Delon was a little unwilling, it is said that he did not fight badly in Verdun, so he should not be thrown into the cannon fodder unit.

However, he had already taken up his post, and it was useless to say anything, so he had to intensify his training of the soldiers to advance in a roundabout way to avoid the fire of the machine-gun fire points, and at the same time report to the headquarters and ask for more experienced non-commissioned officers.

Alain Delon insisted on calling the army headquarters every day to ask for non-commissioned officers, and after a week of repeated tossing, he finally relented and sent him fifty or sixty old non-commissioned officers who had recovered from their injuries and returned.

Although fifty or sixty non-commissioned officers are of little use to a division of more than 15,000 people, it is better than sending no support at all.

Today is finally the day of the attack, Alain Delon left the command post and went to the starting point of the attack in person, hoping to personally participate in the attack to boost morale and make the recruits a little more useful.

Instead of looking at the recruits, he turned his head to look at the government positions in front of him, where the explosion of shells and the sound of artillery from the rear mingled in the air, forming a magnificent symphony. Symphonies like this have been going on for a week, and every day for seven days the artillery of the revolutionary army has to bombard the predetermined attack positions for three hours, and the intensity of fire preparations is close to that of the last great battle.

The revolutionary army was able to use ammunition in such extravagance thanks to German support.

It's ironic to think about it, the dividing line between the German and French armies was almost around here a dozen years ago, when the Germans poured tons and tons of German-made shells on the heads of the French army, and now it's good that in the same place, the French themselves greet their compatriots with German-made shells.

The gods who write history are really full of bad tastes that dare not be flattered.

At this time, Alain Delon suddenly heard a different sound mixed in with the rumbling cannon.

He looked up and saw countless white trails across the sky and down towards the positions of the government forces.

Probably this is the new weapon given by the Germans who will be put into service on the last day of fire preparation, as mentioned in the previous briefing.

Alain Delon picked up the telescope that had been hanging on his chest and looked at the positions of the government troops, only to find that the denser smoke had completely covered a qiē, and nothing could be seen at all, and it seemed that the new weapon had caused a very dense explosion.

The shrill hiss in the sky continued, and the trajectory of the new weapon continued to fall on the government positions like meteors.

After the meteor shower ended, Alain Delon noticed that the barrage of artillery began to move backwards.

The offensive is about to begin.

Alain Delon clenched his saber and took a deep breath.

He found himself slightly nervous.

At this time, the green flare rose into the sky, and then the sergeant major began to blow the whistle desperately, shouting as they blew: "Get out of the trench for me, you pigs!" ”

As the division commander, Alain Delon was the first to rush out of the trench, drawing his saber and letting out a cry of charge.
