Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    May 5, 1917.

    When the first German artillery fire was fired, the German counterattack that survived the French spring offensive began!

    And it was the Skeleton Commandos who had made brilliant achievements in Cinoxi who first provoked this counterattack!

    The German artillery attack was deafening, and the sound of artillery shook the earth.

    With Laner as the center, the entire battlefield was trembling under German artillery fire.

    The Skeleton Commandos are also taking action!

    A tank rushed out first, and then countless infantrymen appeared behind its huge body.

    Except for the sound of artillery and the "rumble" of tanks, no one spoke. It was an eerie silence amidst the noise.

    Approaching Lance little by little!

    The French showed no reaction and ran in all directions under the German fire.  For them, the war is temporarily over, and they now seek only one purpose:

    If you survive the war!

    No one monitors the actions of the Germans on the opposite side. This is true for soldiers and officers. Now, no matter what happens on the battlefield, it has nothing to do with them.

    Colonel Crowell sat tiredly in his temporary headquarters. Even the colonel lost the desire to continue fighting.  He never imagined that the battle here would be more brutal than at Verdun.

    Verdun, facing the German army¡¯s crazy shouting of machine guns and artillery shells, he successfully completed his mission at the expense of the entire regiment

    However, the Zinochi offensive and defensive battle we just experienced was far more cruel than Verdun.

    The 79th Infantry Brigade is finished, and so is the 21st Infantry Division. What is even more completely lost is my own reputation.

    It is said that since Napoleon, France has no outstanding generals, and the French have long ceased to know how to fight, but Petain does not believe this, Ben Weihao does not believe it, and Crowell does not believe it either

    Now, he has to believe it!  It is true that the French do not know how to fight in front of the Germans.  Even if victory can be achieved on the battlefield, it is very accidental.

    People, what they fear most is that their once-strong confidence suddenly disappears.

    The sound of artillery continued around the headquarters, and at the same time, the sound of soldiers running and screaming came from outside.  Colonel Crowell smiled bitterly, stood up and poured himself a glass of wine.

    This is a bitter drink

    Laner was already so close that he could even clearly see the fleeing Frenchmen.

    The enemy is not prepared at all!

    The tank moved forward inexorably, and the soldiers followed the tank silently, advancing at an unpleasant speed.

    The French's lax defense was completely unexpected

    It was not until they were about to reach Lanre that the French discovered the sudden appearance of the German army.

    But surprisingly, the French had no idea of ??resistance. Some of them continued to run for their lives crazily, and some simply dropped their weapons.

    Surrender is the best relief!

    The German soldiers who rushed to the position pointed behind them and said nothing.  The surrendered Frenchmen raised their hands and walked toward the German positions in the rear in silence and calmness.

    Thank God, I was finally able to survive. Although life in the prisoner of war camp was not very easy, at least I was able to survive until the end of the war.

    The tank was constantly patrolling the position. Its majestic and terrifying muzzle and machine gun did not fire. They were just there to frighten the French, but this was enough.

    The French army had long been frightened. When the tank's muzzle was pointed at them, they raised their hands like their companions in front.

    There is no need for anyone to direct or give orders, it is all "voluntary".

    Wang Weiyi, who then rushed to the position, couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

    France, France, this is not their worst performance. Something that will really make the whole world laugh will happen in another even bigger world war in the future.

    In less than two hours, the Skeleton Commandos captured more than 4,000 French people with such a meager force.

    Such a result was beyond the imagination of even the team members.

    What kind of battle is this?  It was basically a competition over who could capture more prisoners.

    Although the results are gratifying, this is not what this group of desperadoes want. What they need is to establish their own supreme glory in fierce battles!

    Guderian stood up from the tank, completely unfazed.?The battle he imagined took place, and so far, he had only fired one shell.

    If there is another war in the future, as long as you give yourself more tanks, you can reach Paris in a few days. Guderian thought in his heart.

    Now, he no longer hates tanks, and even the suffocating air in the tanks feels familiar and familiar to him.

    He remembered what Lieutenant Colonel Ernst once said to him, what would it be like if one day he was allowed to command countless tanks?

    He remembered that he flatly rejected the proposal that day. He couldn't stay in the tank for even a minute. But now, he is infinitely looking forward to that day coming as soon as possible.

    "Ernst." Rommel came to Wang Weiyi's side: "There were so many prisoners that we didn't even have time to count them, so they were all sent to the back. Laner was basically controlled by us. If we go further, we will reach Laner.  This is the strongest defensive position of the Sino-French army. With our current strength, I am afraid that we will not be able to continue to break through."

    "Enough, it's enough to hit here." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Fighting here has provided us with a wide area for counterattack. Our mission is almost completed."

    As he spoke, his eyes slowly swept across Lan'er, and he said with emotion: "What a wonderful place."

    Yes, what a great place. If a tight defense line can be built here, it will be the biggest obstacle to the German attack.  But now it has fallen into the hands of the Germans.

    "As long as the French can block it a little bit, even the exhausted soldiers of the Skeleton Commando will not be able to capture this place easily.

    However, there are never ifs on the battlefield

    "Ernst, you have to come over here and take a look." Manstein waved to Wang Weiyi there.

    Walking over, I saw a tent standing there, with no soldiers defending it.  Manstein pointed there: "I have already sent people to check it out. There is a person there who said he must see you."

    Wang Weiyi was a little curious and walked over there. When he entered the tent, he saw a French colonel holding a glass of wine and tasting it carefully.

    "Lieutenant Colonel Ernst Brahm?"

    "Yes you are?"

    "Colonel Crowell, acting commander of the 79th Infantry Brigade."

    "Hello, Colonel."

    "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel, would you like a drink?" Crowell poured Wang Weiyi a glass of wine: "Congratulations to you and your troops on your victory."

    "Thank you." Wang Weiyi replied politely: "Colonel, why don't you leave here?"

    Crowell smiled bitterly: "I have been waiting for your arrival. I have to see what kind of person the Skeleton Baron who defeated me is. You have to know that you have a great reputation here."

    Wang Weiyi sat down: "There is nothing particularly noteworthy. I am just doing my duty."

    "Me too." Crowell nodded and suddenly asked: "Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, please answer me a question. Did I show any cowardice on the battlefield?"

    Wang Weiyi thought for a while, then shook his head.

    It must be admitted that after Crowell captured Gustav, the French army showed a completely different courage on the battlefield than before.

    When it comes to courage, no one can fault Crowell.

    "But why did I suffer such a tragic defeat?" Crowell said in a daze: "I tried my best, and I even appeared on the front line in person many times, commanding my soldiers to attack.  I did this in Verdun, and I won. I didn¡¯t make any special changes here, but I failed. Was it because I wasn¡¯t determined enough? Or is your firepower far stronger than that in Verdun?¡±

    "Maybe." Wang Weiyi answered the other party's question: "All our firepower cooperates very well, Maxim, Madsen, mortars, tanks, and even rifles. Of course, we also have artillery and aircraft to attack  We provide unconditional support. But in my opinion, this is not all our soldiers know when to do what. They also know the meaning of the Skeleton Commando, who is on the battlefield.  Those who show cowardice will be mercilessly eliminated by us. They regard victory as their highest honor and death as the best reward for soldiers. I think your soldiers cannot do this."

    Crowell nodded silently. He drank the last sip of wine and then stood up: "Lieutenant Colonel, now I am your prisoner. I will stay in the prisoner of war camp forever."?Stay until the end of the war.  If I live to see that day, I don't think I will ever put on this military uniform again. Do you know why?  "

    He sighed bitterly: "Because in Zinoxi, all my courage was wiped out. I know that I will never be a qualified officer from now on. I should go back to my hometown and do something I  Something I like to do, but of course I will never recall this war."

    What Crowell said was true and what he felt.  In this battle, not only him, but also the courage of many French people was completely knocked away.

    They are no longer worthy of wearing this military uniform!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
