That night, each unit drew a certain number of high-quality soldiers to form death squads.

Among them, the south side has the most death squads, at least a thousand people.

According to Custer's budget, after these people infiltrate enemy territory, they will be broken into pieces and scattered to establish strongholds in various places to fight.

When everything was ready, Kuster walked out of the headquarters and went to the front to comfort the officers and soldiers.

Not long ago, he was stationed in the area of Furges on the Southern Front with the army, so naturally he also visited the German troops on the Southern Front.

The other fronts were under the responsibility of his officers, and there was no need to worry about it.

He looked at the steel forts on the shore, with cannons of various styles stuck on them. It is no longer impregnable enough to describe it, it is simply the German version of the Maginot Line, which is difficult to capture.

The same was true of the French defense on the other side, if not more so. Long repairs and preparations made their fortress even stronger than the Germans. If the German fortress was Maginot, these French fortresses were islands hanging in the sky, and those on the ground could not cross them.

"But even if the city really hangs in the sky, I'll knock it down."

This is what Wallenstein, the famous general of the Thirty Years' War in Europe, reiterates here.

The German artillery rang out as usual, and there was not a moment of tranquility on both sides of the strait.

However, they didn't blow up as fast as the people on the other side of the river. Whenever a breach was blown in the fortress, the French were always able to rack their brains and plug it with new steel, dirt, branches, and even the corpses of their countrymen.

However, this also seriously affected their vigilance, and they only cared about repairing the fortress, and how could they see if the Germans had come to fight.

"Marshal, there is a bridge here, but it is blocked. I suggested crossing the river and attacking them, blowing up the searchlights, and probably not being able to see them. ”

An officer next to Kuster said to him. The officer seems to be very attentive to the terrain and must be a good leader who can blend in with the soldiers.

I inadvertently saw the officer's armband, it was the colonel.

"Okay, it's up to you. Let the artillery fire. Kuster looked at the other side with his binoculars, put it down, and nodded slowly. I kept thinking about something.

Just as the colonel was leaving, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop:

"Attention! Don't let the French notice it. At first, the bombardment fire was a little smaller, and several guns fired one after another, and then slowly increased, until dozens of guns opened fire at once. ”

"Yes! Marshal! ”

Looking at the Colonel's distant back, Kuster continued to look at the other side with his binoculars. But his mind was not on reconnaissance at all, and he felt that it was easy to send the army out, especially since they were all a group of experienced soldiers.

It didn't take long for the experienced Frenchmen to notice that the German bombardment had suddenly intensified.

Although their artillery fire never stopped, most of the time only one cannon was fighting, and even such a gun had to be fired every few minutes.

And now the Germans had about seven guns firing one after another, and the explosions rang out in the position, obviously much stronger than before.

But no one cared, because the Germans would come to bombard with high-intensity fire every day, but they would not be bombed, and the French army was still a little uncomfortable.

Strangely, however, the French were usually going to build forts under artillery fire, and now they didn't need to move at all, because the Germans were bombing their observation buildings. It doesn't matter if this kind of thing blows up, not to mention that these big guys can't fix electronic products.

Just now the colonel came to Kuster again, saluted dryly, and said:

"The French probably let their guard down, and the lights were removed one by one. My marshal, at your disposal. ”

"Okay, give me the order, start crossing the river, and cut down all the trees around me."

Kuster's tone was decisive, and he looked like he was going to win.

"We had all cut it down in the morning, enough for us to build a pontoon."

The colonel's precautionary measures were really eye-opening, and he casually praised him and told him to hurry to get down to business.

"So what are you waiting for? Go for it! ”

Kuster handed him the operational order, and the Colonel was about to leave when he was called back after taking a step.

"Wait! How long will it take to get the pontoon bridge? ”

"If you let the artillery pass, a few days; If there are only people passing, ten minutes is enough. ”

Hearing Custer's question, the colonel patiently replied.

"Hmm......" Kuster hesitated, clearly lacking in determination.

However, in the end, on the battlefield where the artillery fire became more and more intense, the order was given:

"Go, let the swimmer inside pull it out and swim over. Let them occupy the other side and then start building the pontoon bridge. ”

"Yes!"

The Colonel took the order and turned and walked away, leaving Custer alone in the trench.

Suddenly, the fire from the rear increased several notches, and the experienced Kuster judged that at least fifty guns were firing. Shocked, he scolded secretly:

"Which dog cub is so extravagant, if he fights like this, it is estimated that tens of thousands of shells will be knocked out this night!"

He called another officer and asked him to figure out what was going on behind the scenes.

But as soon as the officer walked away, he was never seen again that night.

Seeing that there was no response, Kuster had to prop himself up in front of the stake so that he could see more clearly.

He saw a lot of small dots hidden in the shadows around him, and if he guessed correctly, it should be the death squads.

About a dozen death squad members took advantage of the night to run to the river, and then handed over all the excess to their comrades behind them, and even took off their clothes, naked on the shore, and jumped into the water with only one gun.

And those who remained on the shore waited anxiously, looking forward to their comrades who had already dived into the water.

Kustra brought in a herald and told him to intensify his fire. Even if he had long felt that the artillery fire was overloaded.

This time the reinforcement gave the artillery another 20 guns to be licensed.

You can imagine how terrifying it is to have seventy guns firing shells continuously, and you must know that his group army has only 200 guns.

Soldiers on both sides of the strait could clearly feel the intensity of the bombardment, which had never been done before.

They quickly realized that the war had broken out and hurriedly gathered to prepare for battle.

However, the way of assembling is more special. The Germans, because there were no clear instructions from their superiors, thought that it was just bombing, and only a few people arrived.

The French, on the other hand, were quite brave, and their officers rallied, and at first the noise was very loud, but gradually they were drowned out by the sound of artillery fire.

There were more and more French people in the fortress in the telescope, and Kuster again ordered the artillery:

"Descend in height and hit their fortress. Five more heavy guns were brought in, and all the fortress guns were fired! ”
