The unreliable Italians could not be counted on after all, and the arrival of the British 92nd Infantry Division gave General Bivorge a long sigh of relief.

What he knew was that Major General Laurende, who commanded the force, was a very brave and warlike general.

General Bivoge told him a little helplessly what had happened yesterday, and Major General Laughenc let out a cold snort from his nose with disdain.

These incompetent Italians, they can't do anything but help with the transport.

"When the cannon arrives, I will attack Udine as soon as possible." Major General Laurende, although he looked down on the Italians, was very cautious: "I looked at yesterday's battle report, and the Germans had a considerable number of mortars and machine guns, and a rash attack would only make us suffer." ”

"I think so too, General Laurent." General Bivoge nodded in agreement.

Major General Laurent thought for a moment: "As for those Italians, I suggest that they do some auxiliary work. When I came, Admiral Venloto specifically told me that although the Italians would not fight at all, we still need them at the moment, so we should try to be as polite as possible to those who lose."

Bivoge also let out a cold snort, if it weren't for that, he would have wanted to lock up all those Italians a long time ago

"One more thing," Laurent lowered his voice, "this is top-secret intelligence, it doesn't matter what it looks like on the front, the 93rd Infantry Division under the command of Major General Trenway is marching in the rear of Udine. The 'S' team has drawn up a detailed plan and deployed it carefully, and this time the Skeleton Baron will die here."

Bivoge suddenly realized. Now he finally understood why he valued Udine so much. It's all for the sake of that skeleton baron.

Indeed, if the plan can be implemented smoothly, the Skeleton Baron will not be able to get out even if he has great ability

"Isn't it a bit of a fuss to use so much force against a skeleton baron?" Bivoge was not as afraid of the Skull Baron as the others.

Lorenc shook his head: "You don't know how powerful he is, General Bivoge actually shouldn't have said that, but the British army is indeed full of fear of this man, and I think the same is true for the army, right?" This man has been on the battlefield since he appeared. From the time he commanded the third company until now, he has never failed, and our troops that were routed by him were nothing short of a disaster, and he supposedly killed, wounded, routed, and captured. Having been able to form several full-fledged troops, General Bivoge, can you imagine a special research group for the sake of one person? Honestly, if I were a Skeleton Baron, I would be very proud. After all, it's not an honor for everyone."

Although Bivoge also had a deep impression of the skeleton baron in his heart. But he was still a little unimpressed. What's so special about setting up a research group specifically for one person? At least not a good thing for the target person, it means that he could be killed at any time and at any time

After the arrival of the British 92nd Infantry Division, it did not immediately attack, which also gave a rare calm on the battlefield.

But everyone who participated in the battle knew that this was only a harbinger of a great storm, and soon, the sound of gunfire would tear it all apart!

Sure enough, on December 28, the war broke out again

Laurent received the artillery support he was waiting for, and it took dozens of guns to arrive on the battlefield as soon as they arrived. Then they hurriedly launched an artillery bombardment in the direction of the German troops in Udine.

The shells seemed to vent the anger of the British, blowing up the battlefield in dust. The people nearby couldn't hear what the other was saying.

Most of the time there were skeleton commandos supported by artillery fire, but this time the German artillery could not be counted on. They had to endure enemy shelling.

Moder still behaved so calmly, holding up the binoculars in his hand as the artillery fire continued to fall beside him, calmly observing the enemy's movements.

As a commander, you must be calm and calm even in the most critical moments.

Moder undoubtedly did that.

The shells continued to shine on the German positions, ready to bring the Germans here to their knees in this way, but they didn't know that the nerves of the Germans here were made of steel.

They hid in the trenches silently and endured all this silently. In fact, these are all accustomed to them, and the real battle is at the moment when the charge and the counter-charge are launched.

The artillery preparations had been going on for more than an hour, and Moder knew that it was almost time.

He saw the British on the opposite side begin to assemble, and the officers were there with their whistles blowing their commands.

Moder raised one of his arms, and the whistles of the officers on the German positions sounded.

The German soldiers, who had just looked a little lazy, immediately returned to their positions, and the light and heavy machine guns and rifles were prepared for firing at the same time.

The British began to attack

Rows and columns of Britons came into view

"Closer, closer" Moder, who was as calm as a rock, calmly gave his order: "Closer, no shots are allowed to get closer, stable and stable"

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and even they could almost see their faces, and only then did Moder say in a deep voice, "Begin!" ”

Now, it's the turn of the Germans to perform!

The muzzle of the machine gun began to jump, and a rain of bullets swirled in the air to make their graceful posture, and then burrowed into the enemy's body one by one.

The rifle sang merrily in the hands of the German soldiers, and the bullets that came out of their disembowels either rested in the hearts of the enemy for a while, or sank into the enemy's brain to find out what was going on in their minds

When the defenders began to return fire, the British felt death as close as they were from the first minute

But the fighting qualities of the British were clearly several notches higher than those of the Italians, and under the frenzied blows of the Germans, they quickly fell to the ground, and then waited for the enemy's gunfire to weaken a little, and then rose up and continued to advance towards the enemy's trenches

Bivoge and Laurent saw this in the telescope, and Bivoge was a little puzzled: "Since our troops are advancing to the rear of the British, why should we attack like this?" ”

"The Skull Baron must be convinced that we are attacking with all our might, and we are going to keep their eyes on Udine!" Lorrent replied quickly.

"But will the casualties be too great?" Bi Wo Fever looked a little distressed.

Although the deaths were all British, it was also closely related to France. Each additional English death reduced the strength of the Germans by one point

However, Lorend's answer shocked him a little:

"The 'S' team believes that even at the cost of three divisions, it will be worth it if they can defeat the undefeated myth of the Skull Baron"

Biwo couldn't help but shudder enthusiastically, for the sake of a person, do you have to pay such a heavy price?

"They want to be able to capture him alive." Florend lowered the binoculars: "It makes more sense to capture him alive than to kill him." Do you know that General Bivogé, among us in the English, is saying that the Skull Baron is a true gentleman, and there is an even stranger remark?"

Laurent seemed reluctant to speak, hesitated for a moment and said: "There are many Englishmen who believe that even if Germany is defeated, Baron Skeleton should not be judged"

"What?" Bivoge was incredulous: "You British people think so? ”

"Yes." Laurent nodded helplessly: "As I just said, many British people think he is a gentleman, on the battlefield, he once released a large number of wounded prisoners led by Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, and even Lieutenant Colonel Rosen rushed to Berlin to testify for Baron Skeleton in order to repay him." This baron is rumored everywhere in England, they say that he is a real nobleman, a benevolent officer, and everything he does is nothing but for his country, and there is nothing wrong with it for the country. ”

"It's hard to fathom the minds of the British." Bivore muttered, "What about you, what do you think?" ”

Laurent smiled bitterly, "At least one thing I agree with, Colonel Ernst is indeed fighting for his country, just like any of our officers. He's a soldier and his country needs him to win, isn't it? ”

In fact, there are some things that Lorend still hasn't said in full.

At first, only a small part of the British admired Ernst's actions, but as Baron Skeleton's miraculous achievements on the battlefield continued to accumulate, more and more people were curious and admired him, including some who were hostile to him before.

They are constantly praising his deeds, and some people have actually written special articles for him, questioning why Britain can't produce such a figure?

Heroes, welcome everywhere.

"A cultured gentleman, a well-educated nobleman, a brave officer, a baron who never knew what it was to fail"

These are all British evaluations of the Skull Baron.

Even in the cabinet, there were people who became Ernst. Bramm's supporters, who also believed that Baron Skeleton was the only German officer who did not have to be tried. (To be continued.) )
