The 79th Infantry Brigade of the French Army spent a whole day unable to capture Tsenoch, but instead threw down more than 1,200 corpses, but the sudden counterattack of the skeleton commandos without warning, only a charge, but completely drove this "elite" unit of the French from their positions.

Wang Weiyi actually knew very well that it was not that his troops had reached the point of invincibility, but that the troops on the opposite side were too weak.

In both the First and Second World Wars, the French were truly good, and their performance in the war was always disappointing, and the battles that were ridiculed abounded.

There is even such a joke, how can you do it if you want to be a victorious army? The answer was "just a hundred battles with the French".

This is the French army.

The same is true of the 79th Infantry Brigade, which, after suffering heavy casualties during the day, is simply not willing to endure another fierce battle.

Colonel Gustav and his soldiers fled this terrible place as fast as they could, and they did not want to stay even a minute longer

When the news was obtained, El. General Raffarin was completely mad, he could not have imagined that his troops would fight such a shameful battle.

The Skeleton Commandos were the most elite units of the German army, they were well armed, their soldiers were brave, they had a pretty good commander, blah blah, all the better with General Raffarin. He also did not expect the 79th Infantry Brigade to achieve victory at once, but he never imagined that Gustav and his troops would be defeated so quickly. So thoroughly.

It's simply intolerable!

The spring offensive has just begun, and the war zone in charge of him is about to become a laughing stock again!

Gustav, whose face was full of horror, was reprimanded most severely by General Raffarin, but he could not give him any punishment, because everyone knew that Gustav was General Raffarin's most trusted subordinate.

Punishing him is tantamount to a slap in the face

Now the only thing Raffarin can do. It was to add a regiment of troops and a dozen heavy machine guns to Gustav, and to promise to continue his maximum artillery support. There is only one requirement:

Drive the enemy down from the occupied positions!

Gustav reluctantly accepted the order, but to be honest. He really didn't want to go toe-to-toe with those Germans anymore

But he also knew that if he failed again, maybe even General Raffarin would not be able to save himself

When the sun pierced the clouds, the French artillery fire launched a frenzied roar. Their shells rained down on the lost positions as if they didn't want money. It seemed that he wanted to kill all the Germans on the position directly with shells.

Gustav never attacked, he was waiting, he didn't want to brave the enemy's dense hail of bullets and throw corpses on the ground again.

It was not until General Raffarin repeatedly urged him on the phone that the 79th Infantry Brigade reluctantly opened the offensive momentum

The French soldiers marched forward in fear, fearing that they would rain bullets from the opposite position, as they had done yesterday.

Thankfully, they didn't encounter such a situation this time. It's been very close. The enemy did not even fire a single bullet.

Could it be that the enemy is playing some kind of machia? That's what almost every French officer and soldier thinks in their hearts

The further they went, the more nervous they became

But. When the first soldier stepped into the position in fear, they were surprised to find that there was not even a single enemy on the position.

What about the enemy? Where have all the enemies gone?

When Gustav got the news, he didn't believe it at all. And what tricks are those damned Germans playing? How could they possibly abandon their positions?

However, information from the front line came one after another.

Is there really such a strange thing?

"Yes, I have already gone to the positions to see them myself, and the Germans really abandoned them"

When his close adjutant reported to him like this, Gustav finally believed: the Germans really "ran"!

The ecstatic Gustav immediately called General Raffarin, in which he happily told his superiors: "Yes, the Germans have been beaten away by me, yes, now I am standing on my position with the Germans dead and wounded?" Ah, the Germans suffered very heavy casualties, and the specific casualties are still being counted Yes, general, please rest assured, the enemy will not be able to take another inch of ground from me Yes, I am ready to launch a new attack"

After putting down the phone, Gustav's heart was also full of doubts.

Did the Germans run away by artillery fire? But why didn't you see a single corpse? He said in front of General Raffarin that he had inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, but where did the casualties go?

However, these problems were not a problem for Gustav, and in short, the task assigned to him by General Raffarin was completed

"The French are probably on the ground." Rommel put down his binoculars and said.

Wang Weiyi smiled.

"I don't quite understand, we have seized the enemy's position, why should we give up for the sake of Lu?" Rommel asked.

"If you hold on, the casualties will be very large." Wang Weiyi pointed to the position in front: "It is completely different from Cinuoxi, once the enemy shells from behind, we will suffer large casualties, I am not willing to risk our lives to defend such a position, not to mention"

He paused, then said slowly, "Our main task is to hold on to the sub-noshi, and the attack is to better defend the city. Judging from the information provided by the Military Intelligence Directorate, Gustav was an arrogant, arrogant, and timid general. He graduated from the Military Academy, where he was among the best in all subjects, and from the first day he entered the army, he received the weight of General Raffarin, who was still a colonel at the time.

He thought for a while: "It's just talk on paper, no matter how good you learn from books, but once you put it into practice, it's useless at all." Gustav was that kind of man, and we made an attack that made him very alarmed, and I guess General Raffarin would have ordered Gustav to take back his position at all costs, and I would let him take it back. Once you regain what you have lost, you will cherish it doubly. If I'm not wrong, now Gustav's first thing to do is how not to let the position be lost, not to attack. In three days, there will be no movement from the 79 Infantry Brigade "

Rommel groaned: "You trust the information of the Military Intelligence so much? Nikolai has never had any good intentions for you. ”

"I don't trust Nikolai, but I trust his loyalty to Germany." Wang Weiyi replied very calmly: "If there is a chance, he will try his best to grab my handle and then kill me." But the information he provided during the war must not be mistaken, and he was loyal to the country. ”

Rommel nodded slowly, perhaps, Ernst was right, but he still didn't believe Nikolai as a person

The planes swept across the sky and began to carry out intimidating bombing of the positions that the French had only "regained", Wang Weiyi pointed to the planes that flew by: "As soon as the planes appear, Gustav will be even more panicked." We can spend three to five days here with peace of mind. The French had great hopes for this spring offensive, and if the start was unfavorable and the fighting dragged on, the psychological blow to them would be enormous, and there was even a possibility of a mutiny among the soldiers"

Rommel didn't believe that.

Since the war has been going on, there has never been a mutiny among the armies of Germany, England or France, so could it have happened just because the campaign was unfavorable?

Wang Weiyi didn't explain too much, but he knew that such a thing would definitely happen.

The Battle of Reims-Soissons would be a turning point in the war, where the French would leave countless corpses and find nothing, and their soldiers would no longer be able to endure it.

If there were no Americans, the Germans could have taken the opportunity to launch a counterattack and completely defeat the French army in one go, but alas.

A lot of things are unpredictable.

The planes began to bomb the positions of the French, and Wang Weiyi picked up the binoculars. Through the binoculars, it was seen that although the bombing method by the pilots dropped bombs was inaccurate, it still caused confusion in the French army.

Some of the French lay on their stomachs and did not dare to move, and some ran around. This even includes many officers.

"'Can anyone tell me what the French flag really looks like?' Answer: 'It is to paint two stripes on a white flag'. ”

Wang Weiyi suddenly remembered a few jokes related to the French army. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Erwin, why is the First French Empire almost invincible?" ”

Rommel was stunned: "It's Napoleon's sake, right?" ”

Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "Yes, but there is another important point, Napoleon is a foreigner. The army of France was victorious only under the command of women and foreigners. ”

Rommel thought for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Yes, Joan of Arc was a woman, Napoleon was a Corsican, and it seems that the French army could indeed be victorious only under the leadership of women and foreigners.

Ernst, Ernst, how did he come up with these things in his head? (To be continued.) )
