Operation 607 is about to begin?

France, the western front of the German army, east of the Marne, Saint-Mière. 【 I want: super fast update 】

"Boom......."

One after another, shells burst out from behind the artillery bunkers, whistling towards the opposite bank, and then exploded in the distance, and the counterattack shells that followed also fell around the bunkers.

Standing in the bunker for just ten minutes, Wang Shizhen felt that his ears were about to be deaf, no one could count how many shells were exploding during this time, anyway, the fire of the telescope never stopped.

"General, I suggest you leave immediately!" Such a fierce artillery battle made the face of the accompanying German staff officer change slightly, and he was afraid that something would happen to the deputy chief of general staff from China, so he hurriedly suggested that Wang Shizhen leave.

"Don't worry, Major." Wang Shizhen smiled and patted the shoulder of the German major staff officer, and there was a hint of joy in the worry in the corner of his eyes.

The concern was that Germany could not hold Saint-Mière, because it was only 50 kilometers away from the fortress of Verdun, connected by rail, and it was a necessary place to go to Lorraine from the south of France.

In fact, since Germany captured Paris, the call for non-resistance in France began to rise, and the capitulation faction began to trumpet the remark that "France should not be allowed to become a victim of competition", and the heavy industry base in the northeast centered on Paris was all occupied, France's will to resist and war potential were actually close to the bottom line, so at this time, if France recaptured the fortress of Verdun and opened the Lorraine road, it would undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of France.

Britain was well aware that the French will to resist was dying, but it could not accept a France that would completely surrender and not resist, because then Germany would have free hands to make a difference in the North Sea, and might even land on British soil, so it spared no effort to persuade Spain and Portugal to enter the war, and under the instigation of General Haig, launched the Battle of Saint-Miel to take it.

Judging from the offensive momentum of the Anglo-French alliance during this time, the two Entente commanders, Petain and Haig, knew very well that this was the only chance for the Entente to reverse the unfavorable situation in Europe, so they rushed and attacked at all regardless of the cost, and concentrated all the artillery and troops that could be taken out, regardless of the concentration and rushing!

So Saint-Miel in the telescope was almost melting, and even he was tingling his scalp with the stimulation of this strangulation, 700,000 French troops, 300,000 Spanish and Portuguese troops, plus 500,000 British troops, with the help of 1,500 cannons, 500 tanks, 1,600 planes and 150 airships, and importantly, behind them there was a second wave of more than 1 million troops gathered, including 200,000 American troops who had just arrived in Europe and were being trained in Spain. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Although the Germans had already anticipated a fierce attack, and they also arranged 110 armies, 480 tanks, 1,600 cannons, and 2,500 machine guns, no matter who faced a fierce attack by the 1.5 million army, even if they held it, the cost would be very heavy.

The artillery fire continued to extend into the distance, a ** Allied soldiers shouted and rushed to the German positions, the Maxim machine gun became the butcher of life, and when the army strangled each other, the battle for the sky became increasingly fierce.

One plane after another fought in the sky and then fell to the ground in flames, but everyone seemed to be used to the scene, and without even blinking an eyelid, they took off again and followed.

Unlike the one-sided technical superiority in the Pacific, the fighters of the European countries had similar performance, so no one could completely gain air supremacy, and according to later statistics, more than 700 pilots on each side died in this strangulation.

"It was a meat grinder-style battle, with an appalling amount of troops on both sides, and in just one month the war had lost more than 250,000 soldiers to Germany and at least 400,000 to the Allies, with no end in sight.

Trenches and artillery became the key, although the tank was very effective, but both sides came up with some small-caliber direct-fire artillery specifically for anti-tank combat, plus the slow speed of the tank, so no one could take the advantage, and the war returned to the traditional road.

At present, the war has begun to move towards a stalemate, and I don't know how long this battle will last, but at present, both sides are well aware that this may become a watershed in the entire European theater, so no one dares to give up easily. ”

After three consecutive days of watching the battle, Wang Shizhen returned to the headquarters of the western front of the German army on the Aisine River, which was located 120 kilometers behind Saint-Miel, and immediately began to write an observation report, for China, the battle of Saint-Miel means that Europe has entered a cruel war of strangulation and attrition, blood will be covered with every inch of land, whether it is Germany or Britain and France, the national strength will be quickly consumed in this year's strangulation, which will be extremely important for the country.

Europe is a barren land, after a hundred years of industrial revolution, the lack of resources here has fallen to an unbearable level, without external blood transfusion, the European war can not last even a year, and after a large number of casualties and young adults, European human resources will also fall into a low ebb after the war.

Wang Shizhen wrote the report seriously, he knew the reason why Li Mo arranged him here, Hua needed a person who could observe the war from a high level, so before leaving, he promoted himself to lieutenant general and awarded the rank of deputy chief of general staff, just so that he could enter the upper echelons of the German army and know every detail of the war.

Placed in the water cup next to it, the water continued to ripple, and the artillery shells 120 kilometers away were still affecting the frequency of earth tremors, which showed the intensity of this battle.

"Chief of Staff." When Wang Shizhen was about to drink saliva, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and when he looked up, he found that Wu Yingke, who was dressed in a Chinese military uniform, appeared in front of him, and said in surprise: "Yingke, why are you ......." ”

"Hehe, I just took the train all the way to Germany, and I heard that the chief of staff was on the front line, so I rushed here." Wu Yingke smiled, and unceremoniously poured himself a glass of water and poured it down.

Wang Shizhen hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and asked, "Did something happen to Osman?" How did you get here? ”

"The British in the Dardanelles have retreated, according to intelligence they have been sent to India, where they will rest and join the Indian Ocean theater, and the British offensive from the Persian direction has also stabilized, so the General Staff asked me to come to Germany to assist you in your work, and to serve as a liaison officer for the Allied Navy."

"Alliance Navy Liaison?" Wang Shizhen immediately smelled the meaning of this and asked, "Is the German Navy going to do it?" ”

"We don't know yet, Germany did not inform us of the Navy's movements, but there are indications that the German Navy is not willing to be lonely after we have contained a large number of British naval forces, and Tirpitz is stimulated by the successive victories of our Navy, and also hopes to find an opportunity to fight the British Grand Fleet, and Wilhelm II will soon secretly review the High Seas Fleet, so the General Staff speculates that the German Navy may be going to do it."

"Hehe, this tiger is finally going to be dispatched."

"Yes, but the tiger is also in trouble, the United States has sent four battleships to support the British Grand Fleet, and the situation in the German Navy is not very optimistic."

"I heard about this, and Wilhelm II was very annoyed that the United States sent battleships to join the British Grand Fleet, so he sent a telegram to lobby Mexico, saying that the war would be burned to the United States." Wang Shizhen smiled, since the start of the war, the German Navy has basically not been able to shrink, nothing has been accomplished, and the excitement in the Pacific Ocean is in stark contrast, the large fleet that has consumed nearly half of the national strength can not show its strength in the war related to the national fortune, which obviously cannot be accepted by Wilhelm II, but I didn't expect to see a little hope, and the United States was invited, so it's not strange.

"It's not that simple, the United States has realized that Mexico in a civil war may swing, so it sent Pershing to Mexico, and decided to settle down this hidden danger first and then increase troops in Europe again." After Wu Yingke finished speaking, the corner of his eye swept to the report spread on the table, and he was also taken aback by the astonishing casualty figures, and asked, "Such a big injury?" ”

"yes." After Wang Shizhen took out a cigarette and lit it, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No matter who wins or loses this battle, Germany and Britain and France will be greatly injured, if Britain and France suffer heavy losses, they will inevitably ask the United States to increase their investment in the European battlefield, I have roughly estimated that by March, the US domestic army will be able to complete the initial training, at least more than 500,000 troops can be transferred to Europe, so if the Indian Ocean route cannot be opened, I don't know how long Germany can hold out." ”

"That's it."

"The fighting on the Malay Peninsula is going well, and by the end of February, all the remnants of the enemy will be wiped out, and when the Malayan Peninsula is over, the navy will attack the Andaman Islands."

Wang Shizhen walked to the map, listened to Wu Yingke's words, and took a deep breath while looking at the location of the Andaman Islands, the battle for the gateway to Malacca has made a good start, as long as you can make persistent efforts to take the Andaman Islands, then the Indian Ocean will be completely open!

Seeing Wang Shizhen staring at the map with his brows furrowed, Wu Yingke knew what he was worried about, to be honest, he was also taken aback by the huge casualty figures of the German army just now, so it is reasonable to worry, to put it bluntly, the Entente countries can be connected in series, but their own side has not yet been opened, so they will naturally be very worried, but .......

Wu Yingke suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and after glancing around and seeing that there was no one, he walked to Wang Shizhen's side, pointed his finger at two points on the map quickly, and said: "I'm afraid the United States has no chance to support Europe!" ”

Looking at the direction of Wu Yingke's finger, Wang Shizhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head after a while: "The iron tong operation is about to start?" ”

"Hmm!"

"In addition to the 200,000 troops who have arrived in Spain and are currently training, the United States should not want to send a single soldier to Europe again!"

: After the transition, it's impossible not to write about Europe at all, of course, the hippopotamus actually doesn't want to write about it, that place is too traumatic to brain cells.
