Chapter 29: The Battle for the Throne (Revision)

Major General Emile De Leon was angry, and Tang Yunyang's indifference to the situation at the front made him angry.

"Don, the front line has been broken through by the Germans, even if according to what you said, to lure the enemy deeper, isn't it enough for the Germans to advance now, they are still less than 30 kilometers away from Nancy City, if they are advancing, we don't need to move, just stick to the city directly, or simply surrender!"

His angry shouts echoed through the Joint Command, which was still the Nancy City Defense Command. In fact, this operation will be carried out by Thunder International and the French 1st Cavalry Division at the same time. Even on top of Xia Fei's order, he was asked to work closely with Tang Yunyang.

The emir's shouts shocked not only his officers and staff officers, but also the officers of Thunder International, including Patton. The entire war room fell silent, and everyone looked at Tang Yunyang with their eyes, wanting to see how he dealt with this matter.

Emir. The anger of Major General Drion can represent the thoughts of a considerable part of the French officers. By the time the Germans crossed the almost empty second line of defense, almost everyone believed that the defenses of Nancy were on the verge of collapse, and that even Major General Emile had asked his staff officers to throw some classified documents into the fireplace.

Tang Yunyang raised his gaze, which had been staring at the map, calmly glanced at everyone, and then threw the red and blue pencil in his hand on the table.

"I'm going to talk to the general alone, and all of you go out."

Several officers of Thunder International walked outside the house one by one, but most of the French officers did not move their steps, and looked at Emile one by one. Major General Drion.

"Get out!"

Emir. De Leon looked at his men and waved his hand weakly to indicate the above meaning, but his closed lips did not say a word.

"Sit down, General, I think we need to have a good talk!"

Emir. Major General De Leon did not listen to Tang Yunyang's advice, and when he spoke to Tang Yunyang, he seemed to be admonishing a son who had made a mistake.

"Don, we can't go on like this, you don't see that the current situation has caused panic among the citizens. The army was also agitated, especially since most of our 1st Assault Cavalry Division was from the city of Nancy. We can't wait any longer, we have to fight back, we have to get the Germans out of here! ”

"Nope! General, I think you misunderstood me, we want to eat them, we want to make them come and go! ”

Emir. Derian's gaze fell on Tang Yunyang's face, as if he was a son who was obsessed with a showgirl, looking so distressed and confused.

"I didn't agree with this plan from the beginning, it didn't work."

Now ten divisions of German troops are coming from two directions towards Nancy. The two spearheads of the attack were like a pair of iron pincers, and Nancy City was at the jaws of the iron pincers.

"It's okay, we can kill them, but it's not time yet!"

Tang Yunyang was categorical when he said it, and there was a kind of unquestionable firmness in his tone.

"Isn't it time yet? The Germans are already about 20 kilometers close to the city, and our infantry, the casualties have already exceeded 40%, and if it drags on like this, we will have no ability to counterattack at all! …… In this way, if you Thunder International don't do it, then our French army will fight back alone! ”

"You dare!"

Tang Yunyang's voice was not high, but there was a fierce look in his eyes. The chill in the two black eyes made the emir. An uncontrollable fear welled up in Derian's heart. The words that came out of his mouth made the emir even more angry. Major General De Leon was chilled. But then he immediately relaxed the expression on his face again, and when he spoke, it seemed to be discussing with him.

"We're collaborators, aren't we? And if you do this, you fall for the conspiracy of the Germans! ”

"Is there a conspiracy among the Germans, I am afraid of you, you are a conspirator!"

Tang Yunyang is still fighting for the emir who is trapped in the beast. De Leon doesn't care at all about the definition he makes.

"General, if you can calm your anger for a while, then I will tell you something that your people do not know, and then ask you to judge militarily, do you say so? Please come with me to the map! ”

When Tang Yunyang said this, he didn't look at the red-eyed major general again, and the evidence of his words seemed to be ordering his subordinates.

"You see, the Germans are moving very fast. I don't need to say what their goal is. The defense of Nancy City has always been neglected by the commander-in-chief, and even the rapid front has not been used. Therefore, they were responsible for the casualties suffered by the front-line infantry this time. As you know, my men are now building fortifications on the outskirts of the city consisting of a quick front according to our plan. ”

"That didn't do much, and they didn't do much against the heavy artillery on the German side."

Emir. Dryan thought that Tang Yunyang would rely on the neatness of the cement slabs and sandbags hastily laid in the ditch to resist the German army's attack, and then carry out a counterattack. It is possible under the protection of Verdun with large-caliber artillery fire, with air power, but here it is of no use at all when everything is not talked about.

"Yes, it is useless in the face of heavy artillery, you are quite right, but what about the German army without heavy artillery? Your reconnaissance unit may not be aware of this. I can tell you with certainty that the Germans have not moved the emplacements of their heavy guns, they are waiting for your 1st French Assault Division to arrive at you! ”

"This, how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible, do you think about it, now the soldiers on the front line are resisting the German attack, in addition to the planes in the sky, there is other artillery support? The ordinary light artillery is already dismantling and moving forward, but why is the heavy artillery not moving, do they really think that they can take Nancy with these artillery things? ”

When Tang Yunyang said this, the corners of his mouth brought up an indifferent smile, which made him seem to be laughing when he spoke.

"No, the Germans are not stupid, if they intend to take the city of Nancy, then they must move forward with heavy artillery and at the same time move forward to the field airfield, otherwise the city of Nancy is for them. See if it's possible, take it down with their current strength is not enough to achieve this goal! ”

Emir. De Leon is not stupid, of course he knows what he is missing compared to Tang Yunyang now, and the other party does not seem to intend to tell him the source of his reliable information for the sake of this command! Vaguely, he guessed that it might have something to do with the airship that had gone out early and returned late that day.

"I see, you're going to let their lightly armed troops bang their heads here and break the bloodstream, and then ......"

He thought he had guessed Tang Yunyang's plan, but who expected Tang Yunyang's following words to surprise him even more.
