The front line, which had been quiet for half a month, was once again shrouded in the smoke of the war, looking at the front line of the position that had been ravaged by artillery on the surface of the moon, the commander of the coalition force of a battalion that had just come up was also helpless, this was obviously a mission to die, but it was the duty of a soldier, and there was no choice but to resist.

Company A was finally replaced, and looking at the casualties of nearly half of his subordinates, Sun Qian couldn't wait to bring those allied generals who were so happy to the front line, so that they could also feel the suffocating artillery fire of the German army.

As soon as he settled down, the signal corps ran in front of Sun Gan, and it turned out that the commander of the coalition army wanted to ask Sun Gan about the situation.

Sun Qian packed up his mood and walked to the command room.

"Captain Sun Gan, you came just in time, I just turned around, and found that most of the German fortifications are facing the direction of the coalition forces, and now the side facing the German army is really a little weak, I want to ask, how did you save yourself under the attack of the German army before?" , Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the battalion commander of the coalition forces, asked.

"Sir, that's right, we didn't have a very good way at that time, I could only concentrate most of the living forces in a few fortifications that could defend against the heavy artillery of the German army, and only a small number of troops were deployed in the front line, but most of our troops were deployed in the front line with heavy firepower. It has formed a configuration in which the firepower is strong, the middle is light, and the troops are light in the front and heavy in the rear. In this way, we can reduce our casualties while depleting the enemy's living forces as much as possible. However, this is also a palliative rather than a cure, no matter how few casualties we have, we can only fight with the other side to attrition, once our reinforcement route is cut off by the other side, we can only be finally wiped out by the German army. Sun Qian said his own method without reservation.

"No, Captain Sun Gan, you don't have to worry about us being wiped out, the coalition forces attach great importance to this stronghold embedded in the German army, and when I set out, Marshal Petain personally assured me that our support would be guaranteed." , Lieutenant Colonel Henry said confidently.

"I hope so." , Sun Qian is not as optimistic as Lieutenant Colonel Henry, there are too many uncontrollable factors in the war, and the Germans will not be unaware of the importance of the cliff position, and the Germans who can think of it must also think that as long as they set up a few cannons, they can easily cut off the support route of the coalition army, so Sun Gan is still ready for a hard battle in his heart.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Henry, he was noncommittal after listening to Sun Gan's words, for Sun Gan, a yellow-skinned captain who has now become famous in the coalition army, Lieutenant Colonel Henry did not identify with him, especially when he heard the prisoners who went back say that Sun Gan threw a major of the French army into the hands of the German army, he even thought that Sun Gan was a coward, and the reason why he was able to act successfully was only because of Sun Gan's good luck.

However, Sun Gan's tactical tips were still useful, and Major Henry quickly moved the surplus personnel from the front to the rear to hide. This also gave Lieutenant Colonel Henry a reputation as a wise general in the future, and he was promoted to general all the way after the war, and Sun Gan, who was the first to propose this tactic, was completely forgotten by Lieutenant Colonel Henry.

The curtain of the battle had been opened, and the next day the Allied and German planes were all over the sky, the flames of the planes could even be covered by the sun's rays, the artillery on the ground hardly stopped, and the fortifications on the cliffs were almost destroyed by German artillery fire, except for a few thick main forts. The crowd could only resist the German attack in the rubble. The intensity of the battle made it impossible for Company A to stay out of the situation, and the casualties of Company A gradually increased. In the face of increasing casualties, not only Sun Qian had a headache, but even Lieutenant Colonel Henry had the idea of retreating.

On this day, taking advantage of the cessation of the fighting between the two sides, Lieutenant Colonel Henry gathered a group of his men and Sun Gan together.

"Tell me, what are we going to do now?", Lieutenant Colonel Henry, although he had the intention of retreating, did not want to take the responsibility of retreating.

"Sir, I don't think we can go on like this, we're running out of supplies, and the promises made to us by the coalition command haven't been fulfilled. While there are still conditions, let's retreat. ", said one of Lieutenant Colonel Henry's men.

"Sir, if we retreat, it is contrary to the overall strategy of the coalition forces, and we will most likely be court-martialed." , said the adjutant of Lieutenant Colonel Henry.

A group of people were also speechless after hearing the adjutant's words, and now thinking about the orders of the coalition forces is really a bit nonsense.

"Captain Sun Qian, what do you think?" , Lieutenant Colonel Henry looked at Sun Qian, who was sitting in his seat and was silent, and asked.

"Sir, can you elaborate on the thoughts of the coalition forces?" , Sun Qian did not answer Lieutenant Colonel Henry's question, but asked.

"Well, there's nothing to do right now anyway, so I'll tell you about it." , Lieutenant Colonel Henry also didn't know what to do.

It turned out that the purpose of the coalition forces was to use this salient to continuously attract the German army, disrupt the strength of the entire defense system of the German army, and finally continuously consume the German troops through this salient, and finally carry out a surprise attack on the entire German defense line, so that the German army could not take care of each other.

As soon as Sun Qian heard it, he knew that the coalition forces were a bit like this, although they faced many enemies, but at most they were only one division of the German army, and because of the terrain restrictions, it was meaningless for the Germans to send extra troops. As for the idea of mobilizing German troops through this salient, it was simply impossible to realize. At most, a regiment of troops can be placed here to fight at the same time, so either the coalition forces did not tell the truth to Lieutenant Colonel Henry at all, or Lieutenant Colonel Henry did not tell Sun Qian the truth.

"Lieutenant Colonel, if that's the case, there's nothing I can do." , Sun Qian said very politely.

"Lieutenant Colonel, I want to use the radio to contact our headquarters, I don't know if it's okay." As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Henry arrived, he took possession of the radio station.

"Yes, you should get in touch too." , Lieutenant Colonel Henry said with some meaning.

"Thanks, I'll go now." , Sun Qian affirmed his thoughts even more.

Through radio interrogations all night, Sun Qian finally figured out the true thoughts of the coalition command.

It turned out that Sun Gan's ability to successfully destroy the German army's poison gas processing plant was also unbelievable to the allied forces, and through the interrogation of the captured generals of the German army, the allied forces mastered most of the German army. It is these fictitudes and realities that make the coalition forces even more uncertain about attacking and taking the German defense line, and through the German communication code obtained by Sun Qian, the coalition forces have indeed mastered part of the direction of the German army's movement. That's why the coalition forces knew they couldn't do it, and they didn't want to give up this cliff, which was actually of limited tactical value. Anyway, paying a small price could make the German army nervous, and there was no reason why the Coalition forces should not do it. Lieutenant Colonel Memphis also argued with General Pershing more than once over the presence of American troops in the coalition forces, but for the sake of Lieutenant Colonel Memphis' request to let A Company retreat, in his private words, "This is damn politics." ”。

Sun Qian was very angry, this is the coalition army using them as cannon fodder. However, soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and Sun Qian has no good way.

After a day of hard fighting, Sun Gan took his subordinates back to the temporary resting place, looking at the somewhat sluggish team members, Sun Gan also had a hard time.

"Young Master, we can't go on like this. If this continues, the morale of the troops will collapse. Sun Xing said with some embarrassment.

"I know, but there's nothing I can do about it right now!" , Sun Qian also said helplessly.

"Young master, we are a commando, and it is too wasteful for us to fight positional warfare." , Sun Xing said with emotion.

"Yes, we're commandos, we're commandos, hahaha." , Sun Qian seemed to think of something.
