On the battlefield of the Somme, hundreds of tanks under the leadership of Bai Chongxi drove in the direction of the German position, and tens of thousands of expeditionary officers and soldiers followed closely behind these steel monsters. Just looking at these iron guys who could walk on their own, although they followed closely under the urging of the officers, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force still had a very frightened feeling.

Some of the more superstitious soldiers did not even dare to approach these iron fellows at all, for fear that these fellows would suddenly open their bloody mouths and eat them.

Even the officers who urged their subordinates to follow up looked a little strange when they looked at the iron guys...

As for the Germans on the opposite side, they were frozen as early as when these iron guys first appeared, and now they haven't even fired a shot, which shows how shocking the scene of more than 100 tanks acting together is.

You must know that when the British Mark 1 tank was first dispatched in history, it was only a few dozen...

At the same time, the news of the dispatch of the armored forces also reached Yan Shao by wireless telegraph...

――――――――――――――――――――

After waving off many subordinates, sitting in the living room, Yan Shao was accompanying Ileno, Caterina and others, quietly waiting for the news from the front line...

For Yan Shao, this battle was very important, because it was about China's future position in the Entente camp and the autonomy of the expeditionary force in Europe.

The world speaks by strength, if it weren't for the fact that in the past few years, China would have had the strength to overwhelm the ordinary powers. Countries like Britain and France will not be polite to China at all, and will only see China as a fat sheep that can be slaughtered at any time...

And now. It's the perfect time to show what you're capable of...

The battlefield in this era is mainly divided into 6 places and oceans, as for the air, although there is now a prototype of the Air Force, in fact, the Air Force is still stuck in the past toy concept in many cases, and there is no possibility of being able to affect the entire war situation...

At the same time, due to its weakness and difficulty in returning, it is impossible for the Chinese Navy to catch up with the navies of the great powers in a short period of time, and the only one that can catch up with the great powers in a short period of time is only the 6th Army...

But even the 6th Army. There is still a big gap between the Wehrmacht and the Great Powers.

That's right, you can say that the 6th Army is equipped with a large number of machine guns, but this is only an advantage in equipment, with the industrial capacity and technology of the great powers, as long as necessary, it is completely possible to equip machine guns in accordance with the configuration of the Wehrmacht, you must know that the country with the most machine guns in the history of World War I is the United States. The second is the United Kingdom, which is definitely not less skilled than China, and even more than China...

So the key is not really anything else, but whether these powers are willing to pay such a big cost.

On the other hand, the so-called king of war, there is a big gap between China and the great powers.

Although Yan Shao has always felt that the 24omm large-caliber heavy artillery is useless. Well, it's really useless, and now it's already possible to produce howitzers of 24omm caliber. But in fact, this output is actually very small, and it cannot be compared with the European and American powers at all...

If it is said that a great power like Germany could build a hundred large-caliber heavy guns in a short time. Then with China's ability, I am afraid that it is not even a tenth of this figure to be satisfied, this. It's the gap...

There is no way, in a short period of time, such a big gap is not something that can be caught up in an instant. Although with the equipment imported from abroad, Yan Shao can also produce some equipment that is not inferior to foreign countries, but when it comes to others, the gap is really big...

So in order to establish his position, Yan Shao needs to fight to become famous, and the Somme is undoubtedly a very suitable place to wave. After all, the first appearance of tanks in history was here, and now Yan Shao chose this place as the stage for the tank troops to appear, which is undoubtedly very appropriate...

Similarly, Yan Shao is not worried about what the British or French will learn, after all, many things cannot be learned just by looking at the appearance. What's more, both the British and the French have their own tank plans, and the British are not much time away from producing the Mark 1 tank, and there are a certain number of nomads or something, so there is no need to hide this situation at all, so it is better to take this opportunity to publicize it.

"But..."I stroked my abdomen, and since it was still a short time, Elanon's stomach hadn't changed much. That tank should be of great use, right? ”

Although Elaline had also seen the exercise, he had never seen how the actual battle was after all, so he was a little worried.

"Don't worry..."Sitting up from the sand, Yan Shao sat down beside Elaino, and then said softly. It must be useful, otherwise how could I have spent so much money to make these things..."

Hearing Yan Shao's affirmative reply, Elaline nodded, and then folded his hands in prayer.

"God forbid, I hope the war will end soon..."

Although Elano was not unaware of Yan Shao's heart, as a smart person, she did not explore it carefully. After all, if she really revealed that secret, no matter how much she loved Yan Shao, she would not be able to tolerate it.

Because after all, she is still a European, and her skin is white, not yellow, and that alone proves her position.

So as a smart woman, Elaline just wanted to know what she could know...

And now what she wants most is to see the war end as soon as possible...

After all, war was born on her soil, and many of her classmates and friends from her time in Marseille had already gone to war, and many of them had either become corpses or simply had no bones left...

As for the rest...

In fact, Elaline is also very deep, very deep British...

After Yan Shao learned that the British had a similar plan, the Special Affairs Bureau began to investigate the British.

On the British side, the tank plan was driven by the navy, and the name seemed to be 6 cruisers or something, and just by listening to the name, you can hear how strange the name is. It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that the Germans did not have such a plan. But after having Yan Shao's reminder. The Secret Service quickly unearths the secret, and Elano knows it long ago. The British government has already built some tanks of a real nature, but it has been kept secret from the outside world...

You must know that now that the whole of France is under the threat of being ravaged by Germany, the British can announce this earlier, and France will be able to defeat the British one day sooner, but the British have hidden it tightly except for letting the French take a look after the things are made...

As a result, Elaline was naturally resentful...

In his opinion, the reason why there were so many casualties in France. Simply because they are not open about their allies.

As for Yan Shao's side, since the British have not made it public, it is reasonable that Yan Shao has not made it public, so Elaline has not pursued anything―――――― not to mention that in addition to these, Yan Shao is also her husband and the father of the future child, so she naturally wants to relax the standards a little...

――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Yan Shao and Elano were chatting. Someone from outside also sent a telegram, the telegram came from Europe, and the content on it was also very simple, that is, the expeditionary force had begun to attack the German positions, and as for the rest, it would take a while longer to have news...

"Now. It depends on how Bai Chongxi waved it..."Shaking the telegram in his hand, Yan Shao said to Elanon. "I just hope that there won't be too many failures of those tanks this time ..."

Obviously, Yan Shao was very impressed by the failure rate of these armored vehicles.

In fact, these tanks did have a lot of problems on the Somme...

There is always a difference between actual combat and testing, especially when the battlefield has been pitted with shells. However, most of the sites are flat or even plain, and the action is very aspect. As a result, the tank had just been driven for a short time. Before we reached the German position, a tank collapsed...

Fortunately, the Germans on the opposite side did not know what was going on at all, so there was no danger at all ...

Later, however, as the armored regiment and the infantry units behind it got closer and closer, the Germans seemed to reflect and quickly turned their guns on the armored vehicles. In an instant, the space of the German trenches was suddenly blocked by a series of fire nets...

It's just that these weapons, which had been invincible in the previous three days, were a little more powerless in the face of the armored forces of the expeditionary force...

The Maxim machine guns of the Germans were armed with the same 8mm caliber machine gun cartridges, which were of no use at all for armored units. Although the Germans consumed a lot of ammunition like crazy, in fact, these ammunition basically did not do anything except polish the armored vehicles, but on the way forward, more and more tanks collapsed.

Before they could set foot in the camp of the Germans, more than a dozen tanks had collapsed.

However, these tanks did not sit and wait for death, but took the initiative to use the equipment on the tanks to cover their fire. At the same time, the Germans were trying to stop these steel monsters as much as possible, but in the face of these troops made of steel, nay, to be exact, silver dollars, the Germans were powerless to resist.

In the face of a hail of bullets on German positions, these armored vehicles were largely rendered useless. By the time these armored vehicles drove up the German positions, many German officers and soldiers even chose to flee in panic, and even those who did not flee could not do much damage in the face of such equipment, which could not do any damage at all...

So, as if it were a matter of course, the armored troops led by Bai Chongxi sailed onto the German positions, and the previous German resistance, although fierce, seemed to be non-existent.

Although it is not clear what these iron guys are, the German officers stationed here are very clear about their mission, and let them just abandon their positions in front of a group of iron guys, which is not allowed for those more strict German ** officers...

So the revolt against the tanks soon began, but ...

With no equipment at hand, almost no one could do any damage to these tanks, except for a few who thought of using cluster grenades. On the contrary, these tanks, with the machine guns and other equipment loaded on the vehicles, were able to defeat a large number of enemy troops very easily, even if these enemy troops were all hiding in the trenches.

Not only that, in order to ensure smooth operations, in the troops as armored vehicles, many armored vehicles have the ability to load soldiers, and Yan Shao's design naturally has them. In the case of standard seats, the entire armored car can carry one squad, and a squeeze is two squads.

And in this armored regiment, there are not just one or two armored vehicles, but armored transport vehicles carrying a large number of troops ...

In addition, these armored vehicles are full of weapons, especially some armored transport vehicles have a large number of machine guns on them, and anyone who wants to approach this kind of killing god without permission will almost all end up in a hornet's nest, and the machine gun muzzles placed on these armored vehicles are no joke...

Under the tank regiments, the German machine guns were either completely destroyed or simply ineffective. By the time the follow-up Wehrmacht rushed forward, Bai Chongxi's armored forces had already solved the problem.

In the face of these more than 100 Tiegada, even the most stubborn people are afraid that they will retreat...

And in the rear, since the tank regiment had already eliminated a large number of German troops on the position, the expeditionary force that followed behind also rushed very easily, and even without paying many casualties, the expeditionary force had already admired the German position.

Compared to the previous days' battles, these two are really simple and abnormal...

Especially considering that the Anglo-French forces have paid a very heavy price, they still haven't been able to take the second position...

If the tank regiment can fight like this, the people of the expeditionary force will naturally cheer, and the German side will be gloomy and gloomy. Under the attack of the tank regiment, many of the Germans, who had always fought very tenacious, chose to flee in the desert...

It can be said that Bai Chongxi has been in the army for so many years, and he has never fought such a simple and easy battle. It's just that just when Bai Chongxi was about to continue the chase and simply tore through the third line of defense, an order came from behind to stop him, and this secret order was given by Cai Yi himself...

For Cai, if the Europeans want to drain their blood, this war must be carried on...

On the other hand, the appearance of armored forces cheered the Allied troops, not only the expeditionary forces, but also the British and French armies. However, looking at such a scene, Haig and Fuxi's faces were ugly...

Both of them are top generals in their respective armies, and they are very aware of some insider situations, so they naturally know more about the storage of tanks, and now in the hands of some yellow people, seeing them using this weapon on a large scale, it is strange that Fuxi and Haig can be normal...
