Chapter 38: General Ripping (Chapter)

"the thief, they're finally moving!"

In the war room in the castle, Tang Yunyang shook the information in his hand, starting with the Shaanxi version of the national scolding, showing that he was also happy now.

The night raid the day before yesterday and the loss of planes totaled 75 people, mainly casualties among ground troops, and some of them were caused by the "Night Shadow" troops when they went out to rescue the downed pilot. But all this loss is not comparable to the good news he received tonight.

The field airfields of the German flying corps had already begun to load their trucks, and it seemed that they had plans to move forward. In addition, according to the reconnaissance of the special forces carrying communications equipment scattered before the war, the enemy's heavy artillery units have also withdrawn from their positions and intend to move in the direction of Nancy City.

"1 day...... 2 days ...... I think that according to the speed of the Germans' movements, it will take about three days for them to transport those heavy guns to the front line and then install them and prepare them for firing, which means that we have three more days to counterattack......"

Zhu Binhou on the side was also excited about this information, and the development of the battle situation now is as expected before the war. The attack of the German infantry hit a blue nose and swollen face on the fast front of 100,000 Chinese laborers in Nancy who were rushing to work day and night.

For two days, they rushed to build a battle line 15 kilometers from Nancy. The order of the day was that they repaired at night, and the Iron Wing Flying Corps began to turn tens of thousands of German troops into ruins little by little every early morning, when the ground began to be visible.

After all, the aircraft's attack power on the ground is still limited, although in the almost non-stop bombing, the German front is still being repaired little by little. At least the construction of their anti-artillery holes has been recognized, and of course obvious targets such as machine gun nests, mortar gun emplacements, pillboxes and other obvious targets are still not allowed.

The means of the Iron Wing Flying Team is to find one to bomb one, and find two to blow up a pair.

"Brother Yunzhang, are our bicycles and carriages ready?"

These things are all things that Zhu Binhou, the deputy captain of the Iron Wing Flying Team and the chief of staff, has to worry about.

"Yes, don't worry! Each bicycle is used by two French soldiers and is guaranteed by the City Defense Command, and the French side will compensate for any loss or loss. In addition, I also prepared the carriages, each cart was 4 horses, in fact, they pulled our trailer box, for the first time half cut 5 tons of supplies, walking like flying. ”

Tang Yunyang knew all this, because with the pincer offensive of the Hunter Regiment of the First Assault Cavalry Division of the French Army and the two armored units of Tiger Ben and Xiao Cavalry of Thunder International, the infantry would be responsible for occupying the rear supply line and cleaning up the remnants of the German army.

In order for them to be able to keep up with the speed of the armored forces, the trailer box of the car was towed by a horse-drawn carriage in order to increase the transport capacity. In addition, the infantry will also use a large number of bicycles, due to the limited number of bicycles, so two people per vehicle, they will have to advance 1~3 kilometers behind the armored troops.

As for the assault operation, the Hunter Regiment of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division and the Thunder International will form two assault directions, and at the same time the assault will be carried out under air cover.

"Well, that's good, but also think about what needs to be prepared, if you really open it, you won't have time to prepare!"

"I think maybe we have fewer shells for our 75mm guns!"

"I'm going to find a way to do this, and in addition, in the next two days, we must reduce the intensity of air strikes, in addition to not allowing artillery positions and machine gun positions, we can appropriately reduce the attack on pillboxes. I really didn't expect that the Germans would be so careless that a day of air raids would knock them away and run so far. ”

For this offensive has been delegated command to the emir. De Leon was slightly disturbed by the fact that the attack was carried out only by a few remaining French infantry divisions, as well as the strength of his 1st French Assault Cavalry Division and two Thunder International's two assault infantry battalions (armoured infantry battalions).

Therefore, he tried to ask General Chauffeur for some reinforcements, knowing full well that Chauffeur was now completely pinning his victory on the attack in the direction of the Somme, which would be launched soon, and even Verdun was reluctant to commit more troops.

"Your Excellency, I take the liberty of requesting that the troops that had been transferred from Nancy to the Verdun area for defensive operations be transferred back to the Second Army, because our army is expected to launch an attack on the German forces in the direction of Verdun in order to relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield......"

Soon he was answered, and the result was a rhetorical question that made him even more uneasy.

“…… The defense of the city of Nancy should be consulted with the leaders of the Thunder International, and unless a large-scale and decisive offensive is launched, the force will still need to take part in the defensive operations in the Verdun direction......"

To his surprise, when he saw Tang Yunyang again, Tang Yunyang came to bid him farewell.

"Your Excellency, General Emir, I am very sorry, I think I will not be able to accompany you here for the rest of the day, you know, now that the tide of battle has developed in the direction we expected, if possible, I will personally participate in the attack."

"And what about me, you bastards, are you going to leave me here alone?"

Tang Yunyang didn't expect that the old man, who had always been quite talkative, looked really angry this time.

"General, you are here to direct the execution of an overall offensive campaign, and you know that an attack like the 1st Assault Cavalry Division is a drain on resources. Plus, there's one important thing that only you can do! ”

"Something important? Well, you talk about it! ”

Tang Yunyang took out a list from the pocket of his military uniform.

"General, you see, this is the supplies we need, mainly some stocks of Mauser bullets, especially those German pistol bullets that have been captured, I am really worried that we will not have enough bullets. And if, according to the contract, these consumption will be the responsibility of the company, so ...... Also, if I could have some 75mm and 12kg bombs, then I would be grateful! ”

Tang Yunyang's demeanor was extremely respectful, and the emir. Major General De Leon didn't think he would be so respectful in front of Xia Fei. But when he heard his request, he couldn't help but reply a little stupidly.

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

"Oh, I see, you want to do a no-......"

At this point, he stopped talking again. He originally wanted to say "no capital trading", but after thinking about it, Thunder International also belongs to Mike. Prince. Merlin Military Industrial Group, isn't their consumption their own stock consumption! Besides, isn't the 1st Cavalry Division also equipped with a large number of Mauser pistols, is there anything wrong with using some for the troops attacking together? It doesn't seem like a big deal.

Thinking of this, his words changed below.
