"If Bazin did not want to give up all of France, he should have immediately retreated from Metz, but he did not move. A hasty and heroic battle of desperation was sealed almost on the day Bazin retreated to Metz. ”

- "The Crisis of War"

It was obvious that the German command of the Chinese army would never allow the defenders of Metz to break through. As soon as the warning gun of the hill scout sounded, the command entered into an emergency plan: order the neighboring troops to provide emergency support, then release more reconnaissance cavalry, and gather all the intelligence information, and urgently negotiate at the tactical table to determine the next operational focus.

Because the French army currently exposed only has the Sebas Division in the northeast, the general opinion of the officer corps is to "support the fire area and consolidate the local defense", and does not approve of the large-scale movement of the main force to the north.

Vincent also participated in the meeting as an advisor. But he didn't take the initiative to speak, but after whispering to Brigadier General Yoda, he encouraged Yoda to stand up and speak.

The young brigadier general was young and vigorous, and after being brainwashed, he was even more anxious, and he spoke fiercely, lest his side delay the fighter plane: "I think that the main force must immediately move northward, and the two armies must be urged to join forces, and the encirclement must be tightened in the 'north of Metz', so that the defenders who have broken through can be completely annihilated! There are two reasons: The purpose of the French army is obvious: first, to attack the auxiliary defense area where the coalition forces have the worst run-in and weakest strength; second, after the successful raid, they will march into the Vosges Mountains and retreat to Sedan with the help of complex terrain, so as to join up with the Chalond army—— To sum up, the main force of the French army was absolutely hidden near the area of fire, and they tried to succeed in a battle with the help of night! Anyone with a little common sense can see that the French army must not be put into the Vosges Mountains now, and that would be tantamount to returning to the mountains. To sum up, I strongly suggest that: first, the main forces of the right flank and the main force of the central army should move north quickly to form a linkage, and the main forces of the two armies should join together in front of the Vosges Mountains to form a blockade line and break the illusion that the French army had fled into the forest; second, when the two main forces move northward, the flank troops should move closer to the northern area of the Metz fortress, so that the main force of the French army can be cut off from the fortress of Metz, and the French army will be completely besieged on the plain without supplies, and the victory will be laid. Then use the python tactic, gradually tighten the encirclement, compress the range of movement of the French army, and finally apply artillery fire coverage to finish perfectly. In that case, the French will have to pay for their fatal mistake, and Metz will have it at their fingertips!"

Because of Vincent's rules in it, this expression sounds old and vicious, and it is reasonable, and it is a low-hanging fruit, not only Yoda was triumphant when he said it, but even the officer corps present was stunned when he heard it, and they all gasped and were amazed.

After Brigadier Yoda raised his eyebrows after the words, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had finally displayed his unknown talent. Probably because Frederick and Farina weren't there, he thought, young people like me had a chance to speak. In the usual staff meeting, how can I have room to influence the agenda?

Because the Grand President and Admiral Farina were far away in the most elite left-wing battle group, both deep in the southwest of Metz and dozens of kilometers away from here, the procedures here were left to the command of the military system. The officer corps felt that what Yoda said made sense, and they looked at each other and nodded, and drew up a battle plan.

Yoda shined, was high-spirited, and couldn't wait to make contributions to the country immediately. Vincent was uncharacteristically happy to give away the glory to others, only smiling behind him with his hands in his hands.

In order to ensure a quick response of the troops, the battle plan drawn up by the officer corps will be immediately sent to all units, and all units will immediately carry it out. In order to show respect for the president, an additional copy was sent to the scout to deliver to the left-wing battle group. When Frederick saw this report, it was estimated that the battle had already begun.

Delegating power to the military is a necessary means to maintain the vitality of the group army. Frederick did give the relevant authorization in order to avoid delaying the fighter.

In addition, one of the marching staff officers, who had been placed by Frederick's side by Vincent's side, was not idle. He secretly prepared a report of the meeting, detailing the process of producing the battle record, focusing on the impact of Vincent and Yoda's words and actions on the meeting, and presented it to Frederick by a well-trained military pigeon.

The army pigeon spreads its wings and flies over the plains, sweeping over the magnificent fortress of Metz, and moving farther and farther away from friendly forces. Its flight path forms almost a diagonal, with the start and end points forming the two ends, and Metz being the midpoint of the route.

Viewed from the view of the pigeons, the allied forces that had launched the encirclement moved northward in an orderly manner, moving farther and farther away from Frederick's battle group on the left flank, leaving the 40,000 most elite German troops alone in the heart of France.

The most powerful left-wing knife suddenly became the most vulnerable link in the encirclement.

Vincent stayed out of the way because he expected the tragic consequences.

————————————————————————————

The heavy night was like a pitch-black sea, oppressing the dark plains and fortresses, and even the distant gunfire was extremely dull.

In the middle of the night, when he was sleepy, Frederick stood on the top of the hill in high spirits, looking out over the plains in the distance. The majestic Metz Fortress is now just a small chocolate cake in view.

"Visibility is extremely low. Frederick said to the female knight beside him. Their clothes rose and fell in the autumn wind, and their red cloaks were like flags.

The pigeons detected Frederick's coordinates. It began to land.

The pigeons overlooked the barracks: behind Frederick, the barracks was also pitch black, except for the bleak campfires burning listlessly, as if the soldiers had fallen asleep.

But when the military pigeon flapped its wings for 6 o'clock, he suddenly saw a silent armored cavalry in the darkness. They lined up behind the president's inspired cloak, like an army of darkness waiting for the dawn to break.

The camera zooms out and the field of view grows larger and larger, but the magnificent infantry still fills the frame, and this silent team is completely spread out on the high ground, as orderly as a magnificent sculpture group, and fills the field of vision like a vast forest.

It seems that the lights of this military camp are dim, and the campfire is dim, as if it is sleeping. But in fact, these soldiers not only stayed up all night, but were stubborn, as if they were deliberately deceiving some enemy who was far away.

The military pigeon landed on the shoulder of the flag officer. The flag officer skillfully held the well-behaved dove, removed the wax-sealed letter from the thin foot, and presented his hands to the back of the president.

Filia, who had night vision, snatched the note and said to Frederick gently, "I'll read it to you." ”

Frederick stared at the darkness of the night and nodded slightly.

It had been four hours since he heard gunfire in the distance. Since four hours ago, these quiet armies had been quietly arrayed, standing like statues, fearless until dawn.

The army had long been accustomed to Frederick's paranoia, and to the long and boring wait, not only because they would rest in place, but also because everyone remembered that there were times or two when this seemingly meaningless wait either allowed everyone to survive the catastrophe or brought unprecedented victory.

After Filia finished reading the secret letter, she turned her head and asked Frederick, "The officer corps should send you a copy of the battle plan?" Are they getting more and more arrogant? ”

"The ranger is slower than the army pigeon. By the time I received the CC, I was probably halfway through the battle. As soon as Frederick's left hand was spread, a telescope was handed to the palm of his hand. He pulled out his telescope and looked into the distance, and saw that all the torches were moving north.

He knew that he had been deliberately forgotten by some people.

Fillia was still seriously deducing: "If Vincent wants to fight for credit, why doesn't he say it himself? Besides, his argument is so arbitrary that we can't be sure whether the defenders of Metz will break through in the direction of the Vosges until the second wave of reconnaissance intelligence comes back." ”

"How could the main force of the defenders of Metz go to the Vosges? Eight hundred people entered the mountain, and it was called rebirth. 80,000 people into the mountains, hehe. Frederick continued to hold the telescope.

"Vincent is stupid. Felia frowned.

"No, he's smart. Frederick handed the telescope to Philia and grimaced: "He wants me to die in France." ”

Filia picked up the binoculars and squinted her right eye wickedly, her pointed ears suddenly shaking.

In the narrow view of the mirror tube, she saw a dark forest moving. She had thought it was just a vague wood. It wasn't until four hours had passed, and the woods were slowly approaching, that Filia suddenly saw that it was not a kilometer of woods, but a sea of rifles and bayonets.

Her heart stopped beating for a second. Because she knew, because the infantry was so large, it could be observed with the naked eye in the barrel. And those cruising cavalry brigades, those crazy artillery batteries, those frantic armored fighting vehicles, all hide in unexpected places, making an army far more terrifying than it seems.

"The 40,000 tired divisions that had broken into the deep heart of France were now sniping at the 80,000 broken breakout army. Frederick grinned and smiled sarcastically: "Vincent deliberately took advantage of someone's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and transfer the main force to dig a grave for me. Filia, when will humanity stop fighting among themselves?"

"Human ......" Filia pricked up her ears and tried to listen to the shaking of the crawlers crushing the earth, so her answer almost blurted out: "Humans will only stop fighting when they are far away from each other." ”

"According to Vincent's manifesto, we are going to conquer all the goals in our sight, right? So, if you want not to fight, you can't see it, because out of sight is pure. So the premise of peace is to get out of sight. Is that what you mean?" Frederick sneered as he pinched the hilt of his sword and stared at the dark forest in the distance, "But Vincent, I'm standing here, and I'm not going anywhere." There will never be peace between us. ”

Behind his fluttering cloak, war horses weave like weaving, and riding spears like a forest.
