After inspection by the post, the jeep drove into the village and stopped at the entrance of the small church that was temporarily the command post of the camp.

Several officers in the battalion department welcomed him and raised their hands to salute him. "Report to the chief, the tank battalion is organizing maintenance of vehicles. Please give me instructions?"

“Continue to maintain the vehicle.”

"Yes, sir."

Major Yu Hongyun got out of the car and rubbed his waist. The bump just now was really terrible and almost broke his waist.

"I brought you some dried fruits and five-spice beef in the bag, and I'll give you a share of it later." Major Yu Hongyun ordered, then walked in first, asking as he walked; "What are the arrangements in the teacher's near future?"

"Report to the commander, the list of retired officers and soldiers in our battalion has just been reported. The division requires that the equipment be perfect, standby at any time to attack, and organize daily restorative training."

"Oh, I got it."

The Tank Armored Battalion is the fist force of the Fourth Kalimantan Division. On weekdays, it is necessary to ensure a high level of equipment and combat readiness. These requirements are conventional.

When he arrived at the office, Yu Hongyun first read the military information briefing issued by the group army, which included the enemy's dynamics in the surrounding areas of the group army, the recent battles and the orders issued by superiors from the entire army, etc., and there were also some public news on the Western Front battlefield.

After 18 years

Germany and Russia signed the Brest Contract, and Russia admitted to its defeat and withdrew from the world war. The entire Eastern Front was the lonely and hard nail, the Imperial Expeditionary Second Army, which was the lonely and hard nail, left. The situation was relatively clear.

On the Western Front

The battles were even more cruel and frequent. The German Command drew a large number of troops from the Eastern Front battlefield to join the Western Front battlefield, trying to launch an active offensive on the Western Front, and to deal with a heavy blow to the Allies.

On March 21, 178 German divisions set off on the 125-mile front on the Western Front and launched a large-scale attack on the joint of the British and French defense lines south of St. Continent.

This was the largest battle of the world war. The two sides invested nearly 366 divisions. The German army destroyed the enemy's positions with fierce artillery fire and advanced rapidly.

By March 27, he arrived at the town of Mondidier, which was only 32 miles from Paris. However, the German forces were seriously depleted during the attack and could not further expand their results.

The gap opened by the German army was soon closed by the 3rd Army of the Ocean Empire. The vanguard suffered a heavy blow, and the attack speed dropped sharply, and the two sides fell into a tough battle.

The German Command witnessed the danger of being dragged into a war of attrition and ordered the entire line to stop fighting on April 5.

Although the German army achieved some results in this battle, they paid the price of 240,000 casualties, but failed to achieve the intended purpose of breaking through the coalition defense line, dividing the British, French and foreign troops and annihilation of them.

On April 9, the German army concentrated 29 divisions, 2,000 cannons and more than 570 aircraft on the attack front of the Labasse Canal to Olebek, about 36 kilometers wide, to launch an attack on the British Expeditionary Force positions.

After 20 days of fighting, the German army tore open some gaps in the coalition defense line and advance 18 kilometers. Because the 3rd Army of the Ocean Empire provided timely reinforcements, it was unable to expand the results and was forced to retreat with hatred.

The German army lost 86,000 troops, and the battle purpose of defeating the British army and capturing the coastal areas was another two consecutive failures.

The Supreme Command was not willing to give up, and Army Chief Rudendolf said toughly:

"We must maintain the initiative in our own hands and carry out the second as soon as possible after the first major assault."

Therefore, from May 27 to June 13, the German army launched two attacks on the French positions of Shemandeidam and Compei, and suffered casualties and were captured 120,000 people, which was defeated again.

Marshal Hindenburg was not satisfied with the results of the previous battles and decided to attack again. He also drew 11 German divisions from the Eastern Front battlefield to strengthen the forces on the Western Front again.

He tried to free the Germans from the deadlock of positional wars and win, or to force the Allies to agree to a decent peace.

July 15

The German army launched the Marne River assault again. However, with the gathering of allies, the German attacks were greatly reduced.

The attack was subjected to powerful snipers from the coalition forces. After only two days of fighting, the German troops who crossed the Marne River had to retreat north and suffered another failure.

After repeated failures

The German army finally stopped several attacks on the Western Front, and lost nearly one million people in several major battles. The German soldiers were exhausted and they needed to replenish 160,000 people per month, but they could only meet 60,000 people.

In the overall power comparison of the Western Front battlefield, the Allies have an absolute advantage, with 262 infantry divisions, two tank divisions and 10 cavalry divisions (about 4.9 million people), 20,000 cannons, more than 7,700 aircraft and 2,700 tanks.

The German army had only 220 infantry divisions (2.6 million men), 18,000 cannons, and 4,100 aircraft, and its strategic initiative was transferred to the Allies.

July 9th to August 4th

The Allies launched a large-scale air battle, continuously bombing the German positions and rear material transfer hubs, and an unprecedented large-scale air battle broke out between the two sides.

The First and Third Army of the Imperial Expeditions, joined forces with the main forces of Britain, France and other countries to launch an attack on the front of the Marne River about 135 kilometers wide, repelling the German army 55 kilometers again, and had to retreat in a panic.

The Allied Forces continued to work hard, and in the following month, launched many consecutive battles, attacking the Hindenburg defense line, achieving breakthroughs in many places...

Yu Hongyun held a military briefing in his hand, and the solemn meaning of swords and iron horses could be revealed from the lines, making people feel cold on their backs.

"Showdown Operation" has been going on so far

The Allied forces suffered more than 400,000 casualties, the Germans suffered more than 300,000 casualties, and the casualties between the two sides easily reached more than 730,000, which was not far from 1 million.

This is the European War, which is extremely cruel and bloody. It has made an effective breakthrough on the border between Belgium and Germany and officially entered Germany.

Putting down the military briefing in his hand, Yu Hongyun estimated that the Western Front Battle would come to an end after reaching a breakthrough.

The British and French on the front line suffered huge losses, so they had to take a good breath, switch to the reserve team in the rear and enter the battlefield, and launch a second phase of the attack again.

By then

The first, third and fourth armies on the Western Front battlefield may become the main attack forces.

Alas, this damn war!

At this time, Major Yu Hongyun no longer had the ease and comfort of his vacation, and was on the huge Western Front battlefield.

The forces of a division, an army, or even an army group cannot change the overall situation. The three world military powers of Britain, France and the United States have surrounded and beaten the German Empire, and the Germans can still persevere. This is too hard-core.

From the bottom of my heart, Yu Hongyun also admired the strength of the Germans very much and always kept a courtesy to the captured German officers and soldiers.

"Battleman, are you back from vacation?" Deputy Battalion Commander Major Lei Yong walked in from outside the door, picked up the big tea jar on the table next to him and took a few sips. He was obviously very thirsty.

Yu Hongyun put down the military briefing in his hand, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, shook out one and handed it to Lei Yong. After lit it, the two of them began to suck the clouds and vomited mist and said, "I'm back, I was in a good mood. After reading the materials issued by the group army, I was in a bad mood."

"This..." Lei Yong pointed to the military briefing that Yu Hongyun had just thrown on the table, shook his head with a wry smile, and said;

"Zhang Zun, it seems that this thing can't sleep well at night, and my heart is getting cold.

Don’t talk about planes and cannons, even gods are not good. The Western Front War was so fucked fierce!

Compared with them, we are a pediatrician!

What does one or two hundred German military advisors mean?

Ask me to say;

In Europe, the German army has to count the hardest to crack. At the time of the battlefield in the Western Front of Ukraine, our division broke through the German 151st Division head-on. How much effort did it take?

If our armored tank battalion hadn't been thrust hard, it would have been impossible to break the hole no matter what.

If it weren't for the advantages of air and artillery fire, it would have really been a waste of time to defeat a full German division.

In terms of combat effectiveness, this is the German soldier..."

Major Lei Yong gave a thumbs up without hesitation. No one sympathized with the weak on the battlefield, but only respected the strong.

Yu Hongyun nodded in agreement and said, "When it comes to this, I really want to be glad that our 2nd Army was sent to the Eastern Front battlefield and could be a six-year respite for a victory."

"Isn't that?" Lei Yong immediately became excited, and held a large tea jar and walked to the table, and took a strong breath of cigarettes and said;

"We are much stronger than the brothers on the Western Front. After winning the battle, the German troops on the Eastern Front would not have the energy to tease us for a while and could live a safe and good life.

After all
Chapter completed!
