Seeing that his plan was rejected like this, Li Erzi didn't want to mention how dissatisfied he was.

"But we won! If this battle is won, how can we lose it? ”

According to Thunder Company's conditions, if the task is completed, then the employer should make a monetary commutation of the personnel and equipment they have lost. In this way, they should be able to make money.

However, Tang Yunyang and Zhu Binhou, two people who pay more attention to the development of the Ba'ath Party, it is not enough to make money in this way. According to the agreement, the seizure was returned, so the war inevitably had to allocate an abacus, how many weapons and ammunition could be obtained from the German army, and how many laborers and students could be exchanged for domestic politicians and warlords.

This is not a big account for field commanders like Li Erzi or Patton, or they don't pay attention to these things at all.

"No, we're going to get more! It's not just about winning, we're going to have to get more. Now we are facing not the danger in the Verdun direction, but the possible imminent attack on the city of Nancy. So I don't think we're going to go to Verdun, but it's very likely that Nancy itself needs support. ”

Both Patton and Lee were a little disappointed, and of course they were beginning to think that if the Germans launched a surprise attack on Nancy, then it would be a different matter, and there was no doubt that the whole plan would need to be redeployed.

"The next work is mainly training, other basic training is suspended, and the focus of training is on combat technology, I think we don't have a few days to relax."

"Yes sir!"

"In addition, I propose a plan, provided that if the Germans attack the city of Nancy!"

As he spoke, Tang Yunyang reached out and picked up the red pencil from the table, and came to the miniature sand table in Nancy City in the office.

"If the Germans attack the city of Nancy, we will launch a counter-offensive against the Germans, from here we will make a direct attack on the enemy's flank, and force the enemy to withdraw from the city of Verdun. As for the few divisions that are coming to attack, we must crush them, of course, it is better to annihilate them all. ”

Patton and Li Er's eyes widened, they may not know some of the news that Tang Yunyang knew, but they didn't have the courage to eat the incoming German army in one go. You must know that this is the German army, which does not suffer at all in the face of the advantages of the French, British, and Russian human resources, and his appetite is too great!

Tang Yunyang squinted slightly, observing the surprise of Li Erzhuzi and Barton from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

"Of course, they don't know what a fully mechanized army means for the German army today, and they will know when there is a war in the future."

"You two go back to training, remember to train more things that can be used in actual combat, and talk about other things when the main battle is over!"

"Yes, sir!"

Barton and Li Erpole didn't say much, they estimated that Tang Yunyang was thinking about something much deeper than them. And a big battle is just around the corner, and the two can't help but not go back and pay attention to their men.

In the afternoon of the day Tang Yunyang returned to Nancy, a telegram arrived in the hands of Colonel Caranse.

"This guy Tang's courage is really unbelievable, and if he directly proposes such a plan to the general, can he get the general's approval?"

When Carancy came to General Xiafei's war room from his intelligence department, he heard General Xia Fei assuring the Minister of War in Paris.

"Yes, Mr. Minister, we have mobilized as many reserves as possible, and the front line has begun to carry out a partial counteroffensive, although no great progress has been made for the time being, but I believe that we can hold Verdun, but I request that the procurement of fighter jets be accelerated, and urgently sent to the Verdun area!"

It can be seen that Xia Fei is already a little nervous after only one day. The Germans on the front line rushed at the French line like madness, and after breaking through the first line of defense, they were already close to Fort Douaumont, and there was a great chance that they would have captured the strongest resistance fortress on this front line at the next charge, which would have been quite fatal to the morale of the French army.

After Xia Fei put down the phone and sat down in his chair with relief, Colonel Caranser knocked on the door, and after getting Xia Fei's permission, he walked into the war room.

"My general, we have just received a telegram from Nancy City!"

"Their telegram! Show me! ”

"Your Excellency General, after receiving the order of your army, our company immediately conducted a detailed study of the recent battle situation. The following conclusions are drawn from various aspects.

1. It is not advisable to carry out a large counterattack in the Verdun direction, but to attract the main German forces to the vicinity of Vauburg or Fort Sovière in the gradual retreat, and firmly attract the main German forces to the Verdun area, so as to facilitate the large-scale counteroffensive organized by the French and British armies in the future.

2. According to reliable information, it is possible that the Germans will launch an offensive in the direction of Nancy, with the aim of destroying Mack, who was supplying armaments to the Entente. Prince. The production base of the Merlin Military Industrial Group is now requesting the transfer of the fighter squadron of the Lafitte squad and the hunter regiment of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division to the area to ensure safety.

3. In the subsequent development of the campaign, if the main German forces can be dragged in the Verdun area, we will launch a flank and rear of the German army at a favorable time, so as to disperse the German forces.

4. If the Verdun area completes the task of attracting the main German forces, then it will be possible for the Franco-British forces to launch a fatal blow to the German army in other theaters.

The above is the conclusion drawn by our company after studying the situation on the battlefield on the Western Front. Due to the current war situation, the German army has the ability to launch an attack on the city of Nancy, in order to ensure the safety of the city of Nancy, our company may not be able to send troops to the Verdun area ....... ”

After reading this telegram, Xia Fei suddenly had a feeling that he had been relieved from the bad news that had been coming from the front line since yesterday.

The telegram not only provided a detailed analysis of the current situation, but also explained the strategies to deal with it, and even revealed their intentions.

(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected].

At this moment, in addition to positional warfare with the Germans on various fronts, the main force of the French army was mainly engaged in the acceptance and training of new equipment. Their purpose was clear: to show the might of the French army in the future Battle of the Somme. This is what Xia Fei has always wanted to achieve, and this goal is related to his prestige and future political future.

"Colonel Caranser, I said a long time ago that Don is not to be underestimated."

While speaking, he commanded his adjutant.

"Send a telegram to the commander of Verdun's Third Army, General Pétain, telling him to use his troops to resist the attack. In addition, the 9 divisions I gave him were only allowed to be used to strengthen the rapid front of Verdenburg and the third line of defense, and not to be sent to the front, not even a battalion! ”
