Chapter 36: This Is Hexeldom (Revision)

Whether it was the infantry on the ground or the Iron Wing troops in the air, the Chinese soldiers were all surprisingly belligerent. As if these Germans had caused them some kind of intolerable danger, as if these Germans were enemies of the world.

They just sensed that these people were all incomprehensible, that they had become quite crazy, that they had become less benign, that they had become so belligerent.

What made these Chinese look like this, and how these once only stubborn and hard-working Chinese became such a face, the French soldiers did not quite understand.

It's all goblin Nancy. Green's mechanisms that moved from business administration and used by American capitalists to motivate workers are in trouble. Now these 100,000 Chinese workers not only work day and night without eating or sleeping for literacy and technology, but the soldiers who have joined the Thunder International mercenaries are also so greedy when they fight, as if they hope that it is best for others not to shoot, and it is best for them to kill each other alone.

Mike. Prince. The Merlin Military Industrial Group's management of these Chinese is very simple.

"I give you what you want, you give me what you want!"

This time, when recruiting workers in China, even the illiterate ones were asked.

Of course, it is not to say that the illiterate are of any use, but on the ship when they come, those who have a certain foundation will systematically learn foreign languages, and those who are illiterate will learn Chinese characters and some secondary school courses. Anyway, it takes 3~4 months to come here, so what else do they have to do on the ship except study.

As for the pig's head that can't learn anything, when they get to France, they naturally have cement slabs for making "fast fronts", and such "migrant workers' work" is waiting for them to do, and if they are willing to be poor, let them die of poverty!

Therefore, it was widely believed among the French soldiers that the leader of the "Thunder International", who was rumored to be a wizard, had cast his terrible magic on these poor Chinese soldiers, turning them into crazy fellows.

In the face of this kind of attack by the Iron Wing troops, which had a beginning and never ended, the German infantry could not bear it.

For a whole day, fighter jets and attack planes, divided into several waves, flew in from Nancy City incessantly, blowing up and destroying every newly built pillbox, destroying every visible gun emplacement.

The bombs and bullets that fell from the sky fell on the head as if they didn't want money. The "symphony" of machine guns and bombs until night fell on the German positions, as if none of the guys in the sky had any intention of stopping and resting.

Even the anti-artillery holes, which could not be destroyed by intensive enemy artillery fire, were not safe.

If the enemy is unfortunate enough to find it, the attack here will be incendiary bombs thrown from the sky, and the strong flames will often seal the entrance of the cave, suffocating all the infantry hiding in the cave.

At the same time, the German field command officers could not bear it!

In just one day, in addition to the offensive operations in the early morning, more than 8,000 soldiers were killed in the continuous air raids, which was already beyond their limit. If they fought like this, they would lose their ability to attack without the French counterattack.

And the worst thing is that it is simply not possible to build any front. Fly-like planes in the sky simply don't allow anything like that to take shape. Judging by their unrelenting energy, the German infantry did not even build the most basic defensive line for a whole day, let alone the barbed wire and minefields that should have been laid at the front of the front.

Therefore, when night fell and the planes in the sky ceased to harass them for a while, they began to shrink their lines and retreat to the rear. Of course, in the face of Nancy, the German infantry did not dare to withdraw too far, after all, there was something that the crown prince needed at this time.

They retreated only 10 kilometers back, reaching a distance of 15 kilometers from the city of Nancy.

There, at least, they don't have to be harassed by the opponent's air power all day, and they can settle down to build their own battle line to defend against the opponent's counter-charge. In the sky, the "Albatross D" flying from the direction of Verdun can still patrol the battlefield for at least 20 minutes.

At the same time, the commander of the German front, sent a request for help to the headquarters of the Fifth Army.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Fifth Army...... Attacks in the direction of Nancy were thwarted by the enemy's strong air power, and if we were to capture the fortified city of Nancy, we would need more troops, as well as heavy artillery and aircraft. I believe that with sufficient support, we can ......"

Before receiving this telegram, the atmosphere in the headquarters of the German Fifth Army, which was under the personal command of the German Prince, was quite good. The aristocratic staff officers were invited to the war room by the better-spirited crown prince, where they celebrated their newly-arrived victory with wine glasses in their hands.

"It is my great pleasure, gentlemen, to tell you that we have finally overcome the fortified Fort Douaumont, and that our valiant pilots have failed the enemy's counterattack there. In addition, the attack on the side of Nancy is also very smooth, we have broken through the enemy lines, and now only the attack on Nancy City itself remains. Gentlemen, let's toast to the little victory that has been caused above......"

The Crown Prince's announcement gave the German officers a sense of excitement, and it had always been their dream to break through the enemy's strong lines, so that the German army's good maneuver would be realized, and the offensive would have the same appeal for every soldier. Among the raised glasses were the cheerful cheers of the officers.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen......"

The cheers of the officers were silenced by the gesture of the crown prince.

"Gentlemen, I would say that these victories are only very small victories, and if we work hard, then these small victories can make us the greatest victories. So I have to ask, what are our goals? ”

"Paris...... Paris ......"

Whether it is the German attack on the Verdun area or the sneak attack on Nancy, there is only one purpose in the end - Paris. All the German officers believed that the end of the war would come when the Champs-Élysées would be set foot again with the boots of the Prussian regiments.

So, which territory should France claim this time!

While William and his young officers were cheering for their victory, the officers of the Communications Office brought in information about the city of Nancy. The chief of staff, General Steiner, took a look at it and put the information in his pocket.

"Since the last time he was kidnapped and blackmailed by that bastard, His Royal Highness the Prince hasn't been so happy for a long time, let's make him happy for a long time!"
