On March 3, 1918, after secret negotiations between the German and Soviet governments, the Peace of Brest was signed. According to the peace treaty, Soviet Russia ceded 3.23 million square kilometers of territory and paid an indemnity of 6 billion marks.

Soviet Russia officially withdrew from the First World War.

Now Germany could put all its strength on the Western Front.

The Germans concentrated their forces on the Western Front with the intention of defeating Britain and France in the summer of 1918 before the American forces reached Europe, in order to turn the tide.

Beginning in March, the Germans launched two large-scale offensives on the Western Front in succession, but after losing more than 100,000 troops, they did not achieve any substantial results.

By this time, the U.S. military had reached Europe, and the Entente had greatly increased in strength.

Germany, which was on the verge of exhausting all its resources, had reached a precarious point.

At the end of May, the Germans launched a third offensive, this time successfully breaking through the French line and advancing to only 37 kilometers from Paris, but they could not annihilate the main force of the Anglo-French army, and their own side lost 100,000 men.

After three offensives, Ernst rushed back from Italy. Bream and the Skeleton Commando under his command all participated, and without exception completed the mission brilliantly, continuing to maintain the undefeated honor.

However, an undefeated army could not save the situation in Germany as a whole!

On 9 June, the Germans launched a fourth offensive in an attempt to connect the two German salients at Amiens and the Marne in order to concentrate their forces on Paris.

The Skeleton Commandos were tasked with attacking the Fanovian line in Amiens.

At this time. The skeleton commando team has expanded to 4,000 men, supported by aircraft and tanks. Three attacks were launched against Fanovi in succession, and the British were successfully driven out of Fanovian.

In this day alone, the British lost 4,800 men. And the losses of the skeleton commandos also amounted to more than a thousand people. This is the largest loss ever made since the Skeleton Commando was founded.

The war is getting more and more brutal, and every victory the Skeleton Commando has achieved is now accompanied by huge casualties.

The German artillery support was noticeably less intense than it used to be, and more often than not, the skeleton commandos had to complete the combat mission on their own.

Thankfully, until June, the fiery red plane continued to appear in the sky. And the proud Red Baron Manfred. Feng. Richthofen's exploits are also accumulating. When June arrived, he was promoted to major.

Wang Weiyi knew that he had successfully changed a piece of history: not only was the Red Baron not shot down, but he continued to win on the battlefield.

Red Baron – The Skull Baron. It has become two of the most important symbols of the German army!

The Skeleton Commando who captured Fanovi did not wait for the reinforcements that should have arrived. And the counterattack of the Anglo-French forces began.

The skeleton commandos withstood the enemy's heavy artillery fire and held on to Fanovi for three days, on the 9th, 10th, and 11th. Repulsed more than twenty enemy charges in succession.

Fanovi was stained red with blood

Reinforce? Where are the reinforcements?

12th. The Anglo-French forces concentrated the strength of three infantry regiments and continued to launch a strong attack on Fanowe. Gunfire rang out from the position, and shells continued to fall around the position.

The four Mark I tanks under the command of Guderian of the 4th detachment were all scrapped, and these four British tanks completed their last mission.

The two A7Vs continue to fight, continuing to provide maximum support to the infantry.

The fire from the machine guns blocked the enemy's way forward, and all the German officers and soldiers went forward one after another, struggling to support Fanovi from being breached.

Reinforcements! Now what they need most is reinforcements!

However, there was no trace of reinforcements. On all fronts, the Germans were desperately attacking. But their war resources are being depleted little by little.

On the 12th, the Skeleton Commandos barely survived in the most strenuous way.

The positions have turned red. It was a bloody red.

But the heads of every member of the Skeleton Commando Team were held high, and they held on here for days with absolutely inferior troops.

The Anglo-French forces suffered heavy casualties in front of the positions, and the positions - still in the hands of the skeleton commandos!

That skull battle banner has never fallen!

In the early morning of the 13th, the enemy began to carry out heavy artillery bombardment on Fanovi again, and a large amount of supplies aided by the Americans had reached the front line, and now, the British and French troops had endless shells and bullets!

They can splurge on these supplies and don't have to worry about anything

The skeleton commandos who were under intensive artillery fire from the enemy were quietly waiting for the arrival of the next attack Now, they no longer think about any reinforcements, as long as the skeleton battle flag is still there, they are the undefeated elite of the German army!

The elite of the elite - the trump card of the trump card!

They did not wait for reinforcements, and in the fourth offensive, the Germans stubbornly pushed forward, but they were met with heavy enemy artillery fire, and the lack of reserves made the German high command have to order the end of the fourth attack.

The skeleton commandos left Fanovi, which they had been holding out for four days. Here they let the corpses of the enemy pile up; Here they let the enemy know what the fear of death is; But it was here that the Skeleton Commandos also paid heavy losses

They walked away with their heads held high, leaving behind the myth of undefeated.

Lieutenant General Monrington and Colonel Rosen finally set foot on the Fanovi position. In order to retake this place, they paid a heavy price. Several regimental combat units were completely emptied.

Although Monrington had been promoted to lieutenant general, and although Rosen, who was missing an arm, had been promoted to colonel, they faced the same enemy:

Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bram - Skull Baron!

Faced with a bloody position, Monrington and Rosen could only smile bitterly. Ernst will always be the same Ernst, the invincible Skeleton Baron, at all times!

Germany's strength was depleting, while Britain and France, with the full support of the United States, had greatly increased their strength, but they still could not defeat Ernst!

Ernst and his skeletal commandos could take any position they wanted to take if they wanted to; They can defend any trench they want to defend if they want to.

Who can defeat Skeleton Baron?

The situation on the battlefield was moving in favor of the Entente, but the Skeleton Commando was always like a thorn in the hearts of all the Entente soldiers:

Invincible!

"Even if we defeat Germany, but we can't defeat Ernst, I don't think such a victory is meaningful," said Colonel Rosen with a sigh.

His words provoked the same thought from Monrington: "Yes, he is invincible. I even have the illusion that even if Germany is defeated today, as long as he is there, Germany will rise again. ”

"I'd love to see him again, I haven't seen him in a long time since I said goodbye in Berlin," Rosen said.

"Rosen, don't think so, for though Ernst has a great reputation in England, that trip to Berlin will cause you a lot of trouble." Monrington reminded his subordinates in time: "If it weren't for your hard backstage, maybe you wouldn't be able to wear this uniform now."

Rosen smiled faintly: "I don't care, General, I really don't care." Whether I am an enemy or a friend with Ernst, it is my greatest honor to know him. ”

Whether I was an enemy or a friend with Ernst, it was my greatest honour to know him, as Colonel Rosen said, and was thought by many British officers

The skull battle flag appeared in front of the German soldiers, and when they saw it, the morale of the German soldiers who had been bruised by the failure of the fourth offensive suddenly rose from the hearts of the German soldiers who had retreated from the front line.

Regardless of the setbacks, at least Germany still has an army that can never fail:

Skeleton Commando!

As long as they remain, there is hope for Germany!

Feng. General Galvetz personally replenished the skeleton commandos, and those veterans with combat experience were replenished into the commandos, and now, the number of the entire commando team has reached five thousand.

With each battle, the number of commandos will not decrease, but will be increased to the maximum. A few hundred, two hundred and then five thousand

Two A7Vs that had just left the factory were also added to the Skull Commando, which allowed them to fully compensate for the loss of the Mark tank.

And what makes Wang Weiyi most happy is that the long-awaited MP18 submachine gun has finally come out! The powerful weapon produced by the Bergman Military Factory was armed into the skeleton commando team for the first time!

And there was some rumor from the high command, Ernst. There is a possibility that Blem will be promoted to major general. If it is really as the rumors say, then Ernst . . Bream would become the youngest and fastest-promoted general in the German army, and indeed in the entire Allied and Entente powers.

However, Wang Weiyi would rather not be promoted like this, which was obtained with the blood of countless soldiers

The renovation of the base, with the victory of the Rambler again and again, has increased to 65%, and it is very close to completing the transformation

General Galwitz summoned Ernst alone and told the invincible hero that the fifth German attack was about to begin.

This time, the main forces of the German army will fight with all their might.

And this time, the skeleton commandos will be assigned to the 7th Army, where they will fight in the Jorgonne, Saint-Everez sections.

Wang Weiyi knew that the Second Battle of the Marne was about to begin.

The mission of the Skeleton Commando is very "simple":

They were allowed to move freely with a single purpose, to break through the enemy's lines, force their way across the Marne, crush the enemy on the opposite side, and make their greatest contribution to the Fifth Offensive. (To be continued.) )
