One after another, flares crossed the sky, illuminating the deserted area in the distant front of the two armies, pale. In He Sui and his friends' view, the Allies' preparations for the battle were completely unscrupulous. Unlike the domestic National Defense Forces, they tried every means to cover up their combat attempts and strive to achieve the greatest suddenness of the battle. However, these European troops who were used to fighting one battle after another, and the fronts between the two sides were all integrated. They did not seem to attach so much importance to this sudden issue. The troops were like this

The assembly of directions and the concentration of heavy weapons were almost blatantly carried out. In addition to some measures to reduce the size of the troops, it turned out that the set of frauds and methods of hiding the truth and showing the falsehood were almost not used. This made them feel very uncomfortable. The firepower preparations launched by the battle took three full days! More than 8,000 artillery fired millions of shells! Isn’t this telling the enemy that we have focused our full efforts to attack you? The enemy’s reserve team will naturally concentrate here!

But in the same way, the Allies - or these highly developed countries with highly developed industrial civilization, made material preparations for a battle breakthrough, which were unimaginable to the Eastern countries. One million troops were orderly, after a series of complex mobilization preparations, and used various well-organized vehicles to gather here in a comprehensive manner. In the Eastern countries, gathering millions of troops in this small area is a disaster in logistics. But they provide them with ease. High-density railway network

Tens of thousands of military trucks and tens of thousands of carriages. Luo Yi kept transporting supplies to the place. Astronomical quilts, ammunition, food, medicine, and military equipment were all stored. Various commands appeared one by one under the hard work of the engineers, and the dense Tongxu network like spider webs was built. What was even more surprising was the technical weapons they prepared for the battle. In the battle of He Sui and his team in Liaohe, they used more than 200 artillery pieces to carry out artillery battles. In the eyes of Eastern soldiers, it was already amazing in scale and surprising.

It's spectacular. But on this front line of plan, it seems that on every flat ground suitable for artillery positions, there are rows of these Iron War gods tilting their heads towards the sky! Seventy-five-mm rapid-fire cannons, 87.4-mm British howitzers, and 100-mm French cannons with a neck. Those 105-mm howitzers and 155-mm howitzers that exist in China as strategic firepower units have become the most common here! Even the 279-mm super heavy train

Cannons, 305mm heavy mortars, and 356mm heavy cannons all appeared in this spectacular group of cannons. Just look at their tall and strong steel bodies, you can imagine the huge power they fire together! More than 8,200 light and heavy cannons, perhaps with this strength, there is no need to consider any tactical deceitful means. On the Western Front in the First World War, the two sides were in such a real battle with real swords and guns. Whoever has all the violent means that can overwhelm the other party can win.

The attackers prepared far more than these things for this battle. The poison gas bombs were made. After the Germans opened the valve of hell, both sides carried such terrifying weapons at the same time. Looking at the train cars painted with eye-catching skeleton marks, they transported brightly colored marks on the bullet bodies. It reminded people that they were phosgene shells and mustard gas shells. These cars and carriages carrying poison gas ammunition passed by every soldier. Everyone's eyes were so strange. They couldn't help but touch the poison gas masks they carried with them. War has become more and more the terrifying thing. There were thousands of Allied planes hovering in the air to protect him.

The reconnaissance balloons raised were freely hunting in the air, or going deep into the enemy's front, reconnaissance or killing their transportation and supply lines. In this planned large-scale attack campaign, the French's 2nd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th Army, plus the British's 1st Army. Under the unified command of Marshal Xiafei's front line, they launched a simultaneous assault from Artowa and Shambany. Their opponents were the 2nd, 3rd, 5th Army and the Falkenhausen Field Cluster. These troops were under the unified command of Prince Ruprecht, the commander-in-chief of the German 5th Army, and were already preparing for the battle in a hurry.

The Expeditionary Army was under the command of the 11th Army of Lieutenant General Recheval and served as the general reserve team of the two fronts. It was no longer divided and used. The two Chinese aeronautical squadrons were placed in the direction of Shambani. Ding Yushang's first squadron, because it was too difficult to manage, was simply sent out to become an independent hunting squadron. The slightly honest second squadron became a reserve flight squadron. The war belonging to these Chinese soldiers was about to come.

It was midnight right behind the Chambani front, in a small French village on the north bank of the Marne River. Although the village was equipped with a load-loaded pontoon bridge, the mobilization of the large troops had already come to an end. In addition to the daytime, the logistics convoy was constantly passing through the logistics convoy here. At night, it seemed as quiet as before the war. However, this rare tranquility was broken on this night. A team of Newportman trucks from France, yelled and rushed into the central street of the town with their headlights. There seemed to be endless cavalry infantry behind them, with neat footsteps, horse hooves, and various weapons touching

The sound of the collision was heard far away in this quiet night. The lights of the town mayor's house were lit first, and then the lights of the whole town were lit one by one. The dogs also barked. What army, which has not been finished yet? It's fine if the dust is flying during the day, but the fields are trampled into mud by the soldiers. Everyone can understand that the war! Who has no children in the army? But after so many days, even a rare quiet night cannot sleep. God cannot deprive them of this power! The curtains were pulled open, and the old town mayor even limped a leg that was broken in the Franco-Prussian War. Come out and see which army it was.

The first convoy stopped in the center of the town. The trucks were like running tired monsters, making a long breathing sound and stopped in the center of the town. The canvas tent at the back of the car was lifted, and the sound of soldiers from the brigade jumping out of the car. The door of a small car in the middle was also opened, and several senior officers also walked down. One person called out: "Map!" Then someone handed over the map and flashlight. Several electric rods were lit up, and they looked at the map 50,000 on the hood. A man pointed his finger at the town.

Click: "That's right, it's here! It's 2 a.m. on September 21, and we finally arrived at the designated location on time. It's about 35 kilometers away from the front line. Here, the engineers' troops of the group army have set up a command center, and the communication network should be ready. The troops can settle down immediately and stand by at any time! My God, it's really tight time for us. The troops urgently replenished weapons and ammunition and pulled them to the front line. The liaison officers didn't send a few, so we were required to fight under the French system. The troops have a lot of difficulties this time!"

"According to the army orders I received when I passed by Rennes, there should be people from the Army General Staff here to receive and arrange our troops? Where is the people? Such a large army is coming, should there be some movement? The French are so busy preparing for war? Why don't we send our French liaison officer to find it?"

"No, I just passed a military station. The military police commanding traffic along the way said that the 11th Army was deploying in this direction. The orders I received were the same, and I would not be wrong. Find a military network and snatch a phone call and ask."

These people spoke Chinese. Although the soldiers wore French Adrian helmets, their yellow military uniforms and equipped German machine guns and rifles all explained their identities. There were troops behind them passing through the pontoon bridge and headed towards here. The old French mayor and several people came up with horse lanterns, looking like they couldn't open their eyes by the headlights. A few French liaison officers stationed at the Expeditionary Force headquarters in the back of the car jumped out of the car. They walked over and asked the old man: "Old sir, is there a military telephone network here? Are there any military contact personnel in the town? We rushed a long way, changed the train and the car, and tens of thousands of people rushed over on foot. We needed to enter our designated location as soon as possible."

The old man covered his eyes while answering in a dissatisfaction voice: "……………The two kilometers to the left of the town is a new position! There is a command center, a warehouse, a barracks, and everything! Haven't you seen the road on the left before entering the town? Isn't there any military police commanding there? These young people! They all go to the town, have hot beds, so many enthusiastic widows... I used to be a soldier! Now the soldiers... What unit are you? You arrived at the battlefield so late? A few days ago, the army's mobilization has ended?"

While speaking, the old man finally adapted to the light of the truck's headlights and saw the faces of Asians under the French helmets in the night. The soldiers were covered in dust. They took a kettle and went to the pool in the middle of the town to fill water. The low Asian language echoed in the town. More and more residents were awakened on both sides of the street to watch the lively residents. It turns out that there are more women and fewer men. Even if there are men, they are all old men and children. Seeing these French women rushing to the street in pajamas, these simple Asian soldiers gathered together embarrassedly.

It was lined up in an orderly queue, as if this could resist their curious and enthusiastic gazes. The French girls began to laugh softly, and then there was an unscrupulous laugh. The old mayor waved his arms: "…………You idiots in skirts! You guys in skirts! You are not going home yet! Your husbands are fighting on the front line, but you are here to be pretty! If God knows your behavior, he will not even let you go!" Then he turned to look at the French liaison officers: "Are these Chinese? They are going to fight too? Use their opium guns?"

The young French liaison officer's eyes were all on the untidy girls, and he replied subconsciously: "God knows that they are willing to come to this hell to bleed. Can we still stop them? Three Chinese soldiers, who are equivalent to one French soldier, are already an unexpected surprise..."

Several staff officers of the French Eleventh Army, as well as the military police at the headquarters who were supposed to welcome the traffic commander at the bridge, hurriedly rushed over from the crowd, while running and locking their uniforms. Behind them, there was a woman handing them a belt. As expected, they all found good wine and hot beds at the house of the little widow in the town and left their posts. The liaison officer of the Expeditionary Force brought them to He Sui and the others who were looking at the map. Several people stuttered to report to them. The position that the Expeditionary Force was about to enter was on the left side of the town. The Army headquarters had been waiting for them to enter the designated position for a long time. He Sui and the others had no more to talk to these people, and waved their hands and got on their own.

His own car. The Chinese soldiers quickly returned to their car, and the convoy began to turn around. Li Rui beside He Sui smiled and joked at He Sui: "So many wartime marriages... I hope our brothers don't make these jokes. These French women are really shameless. If they are in our country, they will be soaked in a pig cage!" He Sui snorted, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes: "War... There are so many young people dead in France, and these women are also responsible for the sacrifices of this war. If they are in our motherland, they will also face such heavy sacrifices. This war that will be exhausted by young men in the country, no one will laugh at them..."

In the eyes of French women on both sides of the street, the Chinese army slowly drove towards their positions. The soldiers looked at everything in the town curiously. They could not understand and could not understand what happened here. But on the haggard faces of women, they seemed to have read all the disasters that a nation is facing now. And they also knew that they came here and fought in foreign countries to avoid the same disasters of their motherland. Their war was about to begin.

The Expeditionary Force arrived at its combat position six hours in advance. The Eleventh Army and the French Army Headquarters looked at them with great utmost attention. In the rear, the traffic line had already done its best to cause chaos. Such a foreign army with poor language was able to overcome this chaos while advancing alone. Their officers' regiments had indeed mastered the troops and had a very extraordinary ability to solve problems. When the troops arrived at the combat position, they immediately began to distribute battlefield supplies. Check weapons and ammunition, check their gas masks, and send them.

Release emergency rations and adjust the deployment of the troops. Top-secret combat maps were sent to the officer's combat map bag. The staff officers of the 11th Army held time and time briefings. He Sui and Li Rui participated in pre-war meetings at the headquarters of the 11th Army. Emergency acceptance of tasks and understand the situation. The attack will start on time on September 25th. The front-line troops will do their best to conduct assaults. According to previous experience, the time spent on the reserve troops in war is often much faster than planned. And they are not much time left. He Sui and Li Rui

After discussion, they formed the first batch of assault troops to join the war, which was formed by the First Combat Engineer Regiment directly under the headquarters of the Advance Army and the Kulun Infantry Regiment belonging to the First Division of the An Meng Army. As the attacking vanguard, they did not intend to use all the troops and fill a gap with their lives. On this battlefield, they also wanted to experiment with their infantry infiltration assault attack tactics, whether it was equally effective on the Western Front of Europe! During this war, we should still strive to achieve a combat method that is mainly me. From top to bottom, this team

Since the troops arrived in France, they have been conducting uninterrupted training. Under the suspicious eyes of the military of the Allied Powers, they are eager to try and ready to show their skills. When they come to Europe, in addition to completing the mission delivered by Yuchen, they also have a strong desire to prove their wishes! When the Chinese arrive in a strange place, they are most afraid of being looked down upon by outsiders. The same is true for them. He Sui, including him, are waiting for the arrival of September 25th in a state of eagerness to try. They will fire the first shot of the Chinese army in Europe.

Ding Yushang made a downward gesture on the plane. Their three-plane formation, at a height of 2,000 feet, had already penetrated the German front for dozens of kilometers. On the roads they flew over, they saw that the land of France was apart from forests, lakes, fields, and trenches. These trenches formed a deep depth. Some hidden and good artillery positions dotted among them. What winded among them were fast-built highways, and occasionally there were car teams and carriages moving on the road. Compared to the French's fanfare preparations, this place could be called tranquility. It seemed that the Germans did not know the attack preparations made by the French. It was precisely because of this tranquility that Ding Yushang, who was now in the sky, felt a little uneasy. The Germans were excellent soldiers, and their officers' regiment were even more outstanding. Could it be that they had

After preparing for a death trap for the millions of troops on the opposite side, he thought that the tens of thousands of brothers who were going to commit to this war, he felt that things were not as optimistic as the French said. Their squadron had been flying hours before the war, which was probably the most among dozens of squadrons on the front line. And they were all hunting operations deep into the enemy's front line. For French colleagues, their squadrons were all tired flying madmen. They felt happier than going to a woman's bed. They reconnaissance, attacked enemy balloons, searched for enemy planes in the sky, and occasionally shot the enemy's transport team. These days, an arrow-through-the-red heart sign was added to his plane, which was an equally unlucky Albatross German reconnaissance plane. But he was still far from satisfied. Where did the German plane go in this sky?

His two flying companions looked at his gestures, thinking that he wanted to dive down and shoot the carriage. Lieutenant Ye Zhiying shrugged and made a boring expression. Ye Zhiying now has a good partner with a record. Ding Yushang saw Ye Zhiying misunderstood his meaning and pointed harder toward the bottom. There was a new German heavy artillery position! In the woods, there were several wide and deep ruts on the ground. It was obviously a trace of the super heavy artillery passing by. There were several tree canopies in the woods, which seemed very strange. It was clearly the long-range cannons that could stretch out such a long gun. Ding Yushang lowered his head and prepared to record this discovery on the map. Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy. He looked back and saw several planes.

Crawling out from the clouds at a height of three thousand feet and rushing towards them! It is only five or six hundred yards away from them! Almost riding above their heads! Although it was just a quick glance, it was also seen that these planes were models that had never been seen on the front line, and they were all fast and flexible monoplanes! The iron cross mark on the plane was so eye-catching and so hideous! Ding Yushang swayed his wings frantically, and his two partners also noticed the situation behind. At this time, climbing was to send them a live target. Only diving was to obtain speed, and then use Moran Sovanier's excellent hovering ability to try to bite the enemy's tail! Moreover, the German aircraft did not point the same as the nose, so they still had a chance!

All three planes slid and rolled down sideways. The German planes also roared and bit them tightly and followed them. The formation disbanded and prepared for dog fights. The speed of these German planes was really not slow! The diving speed seemed to be faster than them. Then try your hovering skills! Ding Yushang gritted his teeth and moved the joystick. The silk scarf given by a French girl on his neck floated high. The Sovanier plane roared and rolled left and right. He hovered quickly and tried to circle around the two German planes behind his butt.
Chapter completed!
