Historically, the Battle of Verdun took place on February 21, 1916.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons, as a result, the most tragic battle of the First World War was launched in advance because of the battle for pilots after the fierce air battle between the two sides.

The flights, who had successfully returned to their own lines in armored vehicles, had already reached their bases, and they did not know what kind of changes the air engagement would bring to the Verdun region.

Having just returned to the world from the battlefield of life and death, the feeling of "escaping from danger" made every pilot who escaped from danger and returned to the base feel an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.

One by one, they woke up from the drowsy state of their tightly wrapped coats, and the sight they saw when they arrived at the base made them even more comforted and proud.

In the wee hours of the morning, the temperature in the Verdun area has reached minus 20°C.

In the cold wind that swept across the French plains, it seemed that to welcome them back, and the officers of the various flying teams did not seem to have any intention of resting. And their brothers from the same squad, as well as the medical staff, all rushed forward.

The pilot's truck was immediately surrounded by them, and the various greetings from English and French made the whole base noisy. Looking at all this, no matter which commander's heart is full of hope.

In today's air battle, the loss of planes and pilots amounted to almost half of the various flight teams. This was far beyond the capacity of the Entente flying forces, and this could not but instill a feeling of despair in almost all of them.

And now the nearly 100 pilots who have returned are the incomparable treasures of their flights, and with them, plus the addition of new pilots, the Allied flying forces are far from being defeated.

"Jane ......"

When he came to the base, Tang Yunyang, who was already a little restless in the car, finally saw Jane in the crowd, he jumped out of the truck that had just stopped, squeezed through the crowd to greet them, and came to Jane.

At this moment, seeing Tang Yunyang's figure, Jane's heart that had been hanging was put down. Facing Tang Yunyang, who came to her, she could only cover her mouth with her hands, and kept shedding tears.

"Jane, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Looking at the tired and haggard Jane, Tang Yunyang didn't know what to say.

Stretched out his arms and hugged her body tightly in his arms, sniffing her hair greedily, and muttering apologetic words in his mouth. I don't know if it's for her worries or for her haggardness.

It was five o'clock in the morning, which was the darkest, coldest, and most dangerous time of the morning. While the pilots who returned from the flight base were immersed in joy with their friends, commanders, and lovers, the frontline fell into a deathly silence.

Tang Yunyang was on the position they had just retreated to, and after coming to meet the besieged French soldiers with their complete tasks, they were also carrying out the final work before evacuation.

Yes, in this field fortification, which has been abandoned by the French side, it is natural that you cannot use the Mack with them. Prince & Prince's "Fast Front" built a line of defense compared to those in relatively comfortable accommodations.

The complete cement prefabricated parts and sandbags are constructed to protect against poison gases and cold, and it is much warmer than the weather outside at minus ten degrees.

Occasionally, flares fired by the French in preparation for night attacks illuminated the pre-dawn darkness.

It's five o'clock in the morning, and a thick fog rises from the ground due to the dampness and deadly cold. Completely covered the German line of defense in front, and could not be seen at all.

As far as the infantry could see, there were only wooden stakes of barbed wire that had been completely destroyed by the Germans in the battle ahead, standing alone in front of the battle line in the early morning.

The Germans seemed to have slept and did not react at all.

The Hunters, as they had been trained, were on standby at a distance of nearly two kilometers from their positions.

They were not interested in any fortifications, and although the armored vehicles were designed with open roofs, they did not prevent them from sleeping soundly in the warm trunks covered with rainproof cloths.

Major Miller, who led the Hunters, rode in Mike. Among the armored command vehicles specially designed by the Prince Company, among all the armored vehicles of the Hunter Regiment, his command vehicle is the only one with complete armor, which not only provides effective protection, but also provides considerable warmth.

Sipping hot coffee, he was not nervous about the battle in front of him

。 The dispatch of their regiment was just to rescue Tang Yunyang from danger, and now let the soldiers who have completed the task take a good rest and maintain their physical strength.

The young, energetic Major Müller did not want to rest, and the small folding command table was covered with a map of the Verdun region, and the small light bulb on the roof of the car gave a gentle light on the map.

"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid there will be a big war here!"

In intelligence, due to the favor of General Xia Fei with the emir. Colonel De Leon trusted, and he received much more information than any other officer of his rank.

In particular, as the commander of the assault infantry regiment, the backbone of the "fire brigade", he believed that his hunter regiment must be famous in the battle of Verdun.

At five o'clock in the morning, people are most tired. Major Miller, who was full of yearning for his achievements, put down the coffee cup in his hand, stretched his waist, and then opened the top lid on his head.

When coffee doesn't work, the cold may be a good medicine to expel drowsiness.

"Crunch"

When the round steel hatch was opened, the cold outside the car was like a sharp blade, irritating Captain Miller's somewhat dizzy head, and his drowsiness disappeared.

In front of his hunter regiment, there was a French infantry regiment. These troops from the colonies of Algiers, in the midst of such cold, are estimated to have reached the limit of the cold they can endure.

"Humph! If it weren't for General Xia Fei's order, just for those pilots, it is estimated that the front-line commander would not be willing to send a single soldier! This Don is really a powerful guy......"

Although Major Miller was reluctant to speculate whether General Xia Fei was the same as him, he was the same as Mike. The Prince Company had such and such connections, but he was also slightly surprised by the extent to which he was cared for by General Xia Fei and his own division commander.

But then his mind was drawn to the deathly silence of the front line.

"Is this a normal thing?"

Although as the adjutant of General Xia Fei, he had never stood a single shift on the front line, and although as the commander of the Hunter Regiment, his troops had never done such ordinary infantry things, the silence of the front line still surprised him.
