As the fog dissipated, in addition to the Luftwaffe planes, the French Air Force planes also unceremoniously appeared on the battlefield, and they were immediately shocked by what was happening on the battlefield. The whole battlefield was too chaotic, there was no battle line, no front and rear, and the soldiers on both sides were mixed together and were doing desperate fighting. This was more tragic than all previous battles and campaigns, and the French pilot Arsene Wenger wrote in his later diary: "The combat effectiveness of the Chinese is really amazing, can you imagine fighting against more than 400,000 German soldiers on a front of more than ten kilometers?" At least the French army did not have such courage, and Chinese moment it was as if Napoleon the Great was possessed by a lion, and the Germans were actually blinded by them, and from the moment they knocked us down in the morning and flew over the battlefield, they could not get out of the fierce struggle with the Chinese...... I suddenly felt that this damn war had finally reached the time of zuihou. ”

The information about the battlefield obtained by the French from various sources was quickly sorted out by their staff and sent to Marshal Pétain, who had just arrived in Verdenburg and dismissed Admiral Nivel, who seemed to have lost his soul and was always there chattering about the punishment of the Chinese pigs. Marshal Pétain, however, was still a man of human feelings, and he did not order Admiral Nivel to be sent to a mental hospital, but sent him back to Paris to recuperate with great regard for his face. Then, after knowing the latest situation at the front, he decided to participate in this Armageddon launched by the Chinese, so he immediately gave an important speech to the hundreds of thousands of defeated French troops in the fortress of Verdun, "Children, I know you are exhausted, I know you are depressed, but I must tell you that you are heroes, it is your heroic fight, and now the door of the goddess of victory has opened to the French Third Republic." Now the Germans and our Chinese allies are engaged in a desperate fight, our allies need our support, believe me, as long as we show up on the battlefield in time, the German army will collapse, and the balance of victory will be tilted in our favor, let the war start and end at Verdun. Now I wonder how many French warriors are willing to join us in the beating of the damned Germans, believe me, this is a zuihou battle, and many years later you can proudly tell your grandchildren that you were a participant in this battle. ”

After listening to the speech, the French soldiers of the originally demoralized Verdun Army asked for re-issuance of weapons, and then silently followed Marshal Petain's army to the Lorraine area......

On May 20, 1917, the whole day, both sides were exhausted from fighting, and at night, everyone consciously stopped fighting, and the whole battlefield was full of corpses. In fact, both the Chinese army and the German army were disrupted, but as the battle progressed, everyone formed their own battle groups. Soldiers of different sequences and different numbers have chosen to lean together, and then defend a territory, and everyone is now not fighting to defeat the enemy, but to survive. Often where a war group is, there are no enemies within a hundred meters of the surrounding area, and some only have the corpses of the war dead, it is Mayday, and if these corpses are not dealt with in time, they will cause a plague at any time, but now no one has the heart to care about this. Officers began to try to restore the establishment, but this proved to be useless and futile, and there was even a great risk that those who wandered around in the night would be shot by both sides of the enemy. The officers quickly realized this, and hundreds of dutiful unlucky ones had already been shot, and all they could do now was stay where they were and wait until dawn.

And at this time, whether it was the German commander Ludendorff who fled to Farmec, or the French commander Field Marshal Pétain, they already understood what the overall situation was?

Ludendorff realized that an important reason why the German army has not been defeated by the Chinese is the serious shortage of Chinese troops, which leads to the fact that the Chinese can only create chaos but cannot destroy the German army. But the German army, which was superior in numbers, was also entangled by the Chinese like snakes because of the chaos, and for a while did not know how to eliminate these damned Chinese. But if you don't want to get out, thirty kilometers away is Marshal Petain's hundreds of thousands of French troops, as long as these guys arrive, then the German army will die.

Ludendorff realized that his side would definitely suffer a big loss in this battle, but he still had to find a way to save a little bit, after all, once so many German troops were lost in the Lorraine area, no matter whether the Kaiser would remove himself and Field Marshal Hindenburg, the defense of the German mainland still needed troops.

So Ludendorff immediately telegraphed the latest orders to the combat units that could be delivered, ordering them to abandon the struggle with the Chinese army and concentrate everything on the centripetal attack of Druvatomon. At the same time, Ludendorff also sent a large number of brave heralds to let the relatively neat German troops on the edge of the battlefield break through to their positions or march directly to Luxembourg. That's all he could do, and the clouds of defeat were already hanging over the heads of the Germans.

As for the expeditionary force, the Chinese officers and soldiers are now red-eyed, and the threat of hunger, fatigue, and death makes these soldiers drowsy after the night comes. The officers were still doing their duty, taking turns arranging sentries to prevent enemy attacks, because there were now enemies everywhere, but apparently this worry was unnecessary. Because the Germans had never fought such a terrible battle, and now they were also drowsy. And what is even more serious is that after entering this day's big melee, the soldiers are all under the threat of death, and a lot of ammunition in their hands is consumed. And due to the results of everyone interspersing with each other, the whole battlefield is not clearly displayed at all, and neither side can get ammunition and supplies. Maybe tomorrow morning after a little more fighting, everyone will have to play with bayonets.

Jiang Baili, deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary force, realized this, so now no matter how the chief of staff Zhu Zhixin complained about Bai Chongxi's arbitrary decision, he strongly persuaded Zhu Zhixin to lead the team to the battlefield with him to complete the fatal blow to the German army.

"Chief of Staff Zhu, if Commander Zuihou Bai and 100,000 brothers are trampled to death by the German army because they do not have the support of reinforcements, I think the political future of me and you will end here. Although Chairman Wang Zhenyu is a good talker, if you lose more than 200,000 troops in Europe without success, I believe that his good temper will disappear without a trace. Think about it again, between the national government and your personal honor, which one will Chairman Sun Wen choose? ”

Jiang Baili said almost every word on Zhu Zhixin's vital point, Zhu Zhixin couldn't help but gasp after hearing it: "Then listen to Brother Baili, let's go, alas, Bai Jiansheng's actions, we still have to report to the Military Committee after winning this battle, this is simply joking with the lives of the soldiers." ”

What Jiang Baili wants is to send troops, and it has nothing to do with him if you fight each other after the war.

The five divisions of the expeditionary force, which were in the first and second lines of defense at Verdun, were immediately ordered to attack, including the 6th Division, which had suffered considerable losses in the previous battle. Jiang Baili's order was also very domineering, not to be in order, but to rush to the vicinity of Dhruvatomont as quickly as possible and shoot at the Germans you could see. So the troops of the five divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force began to run wild all night. There is only one goal, to catch up and kill the Germans.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning of May 21, five divisions of Chinese troops led by Jiang Baili were thrown into the battlefield one after another, which brought great pressure to the German army, and you must know that the German army was simply in chaos at this time. At this time, the formed Chinese army appeared on the battlefield, although the total strength still failed to overwhelm the German army, but the destructive power was definitely increased exponentially. The German army is carrying out Ludendorff's latest order at the moment, and as soon as this situation comes out, it is naturally a little chaotic.

However, this panic did not last long, because an accident occurred, and the two German divisions originally responsible for intercepting the French army also appeared on the battlefield inexplicably. This was not an order from Ludendorff, and should have been the result of the discretion of their division commander. And the time and place of the appearance of these Germans is very coincidental to save the entire German army, but also to kill themselves. The Germans disrupted the five Chinese divisions that were beating the Germans at once, and they pierced straight through the waist of the Chinese army commanded by Jiang Baili. Jiang Baili was also a single-minded person, and directly ordered the follow-up Seventh Division and Eighth Division to immediately stick to and mix with these two German divisions, and the situation on the battlefield was even more chaotic. Later, Jiang Baili also got the intelligence of the French Air Force, and he immediately judged from the intensity of the German attack that the strategic intention of the German army was to take Droistomont. Therefore, without saying a word, he ordered Zhang Zizhong's Sixth Division, which was still in full formation, to go all out to assault Druvatomon and hold on there. Jiang Baili only had one idea, as long as the German army could not finally join forces, then when the French army arrived, all they could do was surrender.

After receiving the order, Zhang Zizhong's troops immediately put aside the enemy who was engaged in the battle in front of them, and marched towards the Dhruvatomont assault with all their might, and the key point that determined the fate of the two warring sides appeared in the Dhruvatomon, and Bai Chongxi's first words when he saw Jiang Baili were: "Tell Zhang Zizhong that even if the entire Sixth Division is destroyed, they will be stuck there like nails, and the German army will not be allowed to ...... the dragon."
