Chapter 30: A New Front (Revision)

"No, you're wrong! I don't want to know what the result of their lightly armed troops is, I just want a place for their heavy artillery units to move, and they need a place for their planes to move......"

This is true, if you want to capture the city of Nancy. Then the auxiliary attack of heavy artillery and aircraft is absolutely indispensable, so the position of heavy artillery and the location of field airfields must be mobilized. And these things are all commodities used by Tang Yunyang to squeeze domestic warlords.

"That means we're going to keep going!"

"Yes, General, now I hope that the troops on the front line will disengage tonight, and all the troops that have retreated head-on will be integrated into the city defense force, and their task is to hold the line of defense that we have just built."

"Oh my God, we're all going to die!"

Emir. Major General De Leon sat down in a chair beside him and exclaimed in fear. It can be seen that this Tang is planning to fight a battle to defend the city of Nancy, otherwise he would not use his 100,000 Chinese laborers, a large number of construction machinery has been building fortifications around the city from the beginning of this battle.

In fact, due to the rush of time, these fortifications were nothing more than a group of pillboxes composed of some rapid fronts, which could cover each other with fire, and there were not even minefields, barbed wire, or obstacles.

"General, you must assign all the soldiers in the city to these bunker groups, including your non-mobile units, mortars, and machine guns. As for ammunition, I think it is impossible to transport it when the real fight starts, so the ammunition must also be sufficient. Also, I hope you can tell your men that there will be no enemy heavy artillery and no enemy planes at this time, so that they can rest assured! ”

Emir. Due to the lack of intelligence here, De Leon knew that he had to give up the real command of this place to the ambitious young man in front of him. And Tang Yunyang's following words made him willingly hand over his command, after all, this matter is a matter of life and death and a major reputational issue.

"General, I'm a little strange, if you win this battle, what will the High Command give you? Medal or military rank? Or which one do you prefer? ”

"I'm also wondering, what will you and your company get?"

"Haha, this, this is the company's trade secret, I can't disclose it to others!"

Obviously, if you win this battle, France will give money to the company. But the deeper level will prove the capabilities of this army, making its expansion possible. The other is the arms trade with the country, which will be a secret affair, but it is the fundamental interest that lies in this matter.

The setting sun looked at the bloody battlefield north of Nancy City, and the mountains were full of French infantry who had been ordered to retreat. Although they threw away the artillery, threw away the bullets, they carried back rifles, machine guns, light machine guns.

The rule is that as long as you bring back light weapons, you will have something to eat, otherwise you will have to go to court-martial.

More wagons, cars and even bicycles returned from the front, with terrified and seriously wounded men on them and rangers on bicycles. And they did what they could only do, carrying the lightly wounded on the back shelves. When I first received it, I said that if there were no minor injuries, those who rode bicycles were deserters, and if they were caught, they would be shot.

On the road, there are teams of smart four-wheel drive jeeps, and Chinese soldiers in strange combat uniforms sit in the cars and look leisurely. But the soldiers were a little frightened when they saw them, according to the officers, they were on the task of the gendarmerie, and anyone who did not carry out the orders of the Nancy City Defense Command would be shot by these guys.

At this moment, when they came back from the front line, the car was also loaded with officers who had exhausted the troops on the front line as much as possible, and the French soldiers who looked at them couldn't help but worry about their future, fearing that these Chinese soldiers who only recognized military regulations and did not recognize people would shoot them directly.

In the sky, the airship, painted golden by the setting sun, slowly descended into the airport of Nancy, and by this time the ground was almost completely dark. The convoy was lit up and lined up in a long line.

Looking down from the airship, you can see wisps of smoke rising on the outskirts of Chengxicheng. Soldiers returning from the front line were lining up to receive dinner.

At the same time as they received their dinner, they would report their military numbers and the units to which they belonged, and then accept the arrangements of the officers there to go to the designated fort to entertain the guards.

The defensive line prepared for them is a standard bunker group of exactly the same specifications. The square rapid front formed the wall of the bunker group, and in the middle was a trapezoidal turret with light and heavy machine guns. Those round, what looked like craters in the sky, were about mortar emplacements.

Sitting on the Hawkeye airship Rui Wu. Louberry sat on a group of couches that no one dared to come over, stroking the golden mane on the lion's head with his hands, and his eyes looked at everything underground.

After two days of watching, he came to a conclusion.

"This is the eyes that the commanders really need in this war!"

Such airships have almost complete insight into all changes on the battlefield, and it is difficult for the enemy to carry out air strikes as long as the weather permits. As for air strikes that require a long march, it is simply impossible to do anything other than a long period of bad weather.

At present, the Germans had no intention of moving at night, and their troops stopped about 15 kilometers from the city of Nancy. They are also human beings, and they have to eat and feed the horses. By the standards of the First World War, they advanced 35 kilometers in two days of attack, which was already very fast.

Moreover, before the French troops withdrew from their positions today, their attack became very difficult in front of the French positions that were holding their positions without adequate artillery support, and the casualties increased exponentially. As for the planes supporting the ground attack, due to the range, they could only hover in the sky for a short time. E.III could only do the attack and had to return immediately.

Sitting on the airship, he thought about the current situation of the battle, and at the same time, he also considered the advantages of commanding the various flying teams through the radio system in such a situation. With a clear view of the battlefield, it is clear that without such conditions, one side will be besieged by the air power of the other.

In addition to not being able to fly, the environment on the airship is quite good, and the other disadvantages are that he is holding coffee in his hand instead of red wine, and he is accompanied by lion whiskey instead of a passionate and wild woman. Other than that, he had nothing to complain about on the airship.

His gaze withdrew from the ground that was already quite blurred in the darkness, and he raised his hand to take a sip of coffee, he had already vaguely guessed Tang Yunyang's intentions, and made the following evaluation of him.

"Don is a greedy man!"
