After the Red Baron reaped the first result today, he was satisfied with the battle. At the same time, his colleagues were also quickly killing the Bull Squadron aircraft that fled in all directions. Their efficiency was so high that when the battle ended, there were only 3 planes that had already been fully equipped with 18 DH9a Bull Squadrons that finally returned!

But for today's battle, the experience of the Bulls Squadron was just a small episode. As time went by, more and more planes on both sides were involved in this battle like a meat grinder.

"It won't work like this!" Major James, a British ace pilot, looked at the fuel left on his plane and was forced to give up the attack and started to return. He could clearly feel that the number of aircraft invested by the British in this air battle was obviously more. At the beginning, British fighters did have the advantage on the field, but as time went by, German aircraft over the battlefield gradually tied the British, on the one hand, because the British aircraft had a short air stagnation time, and on the other hand, because the British fighter group suffered too much loss when they attacked German bombers!

After the first wave of the Bull Squadron ended, the Tricolor Sword Squadron launched a second wave of shock, and their results were even more unbearable. Before colliding with the opponent's bombers, a group of German aircraft passed through the cover group and launched an attack on the Tricolor Sword. Therefore, before the impact, the Tricolor Sword and the formation could not be guaranteed, let alone concentrated firepower to attack the bombers. In this air attrition war, the British were gradually crushed. When the British Air Force withdrew from the battlefield, the third wave of bombers who arrived at the battlefield could finally launch efficient attacks on the retreating French troops on the ground.

At least 40 bombers of various types launched air strikes on the French army. They first attacked which tow artillery and car squads were poured into huge marching queues, and the teams that lasted several kilometers were buried by flames and explosions. Even if some vehicles left the road in advance, it was still unsafe. K-4 bombers who had dropped bombs repeatedly passed through the battlefield at extremely low altitudes, and used dense bullets to clean up which vehicles. The continuous shooting of anti-infantry bombs and machine guns ultimately blocked the French's attempt to save their precious artillery.

More than ten bomber squadrons visited here one after another. They kept attacking the French legion like windmills. In addition to the tank troops that had first evacuated, more than 70% of artillery and vehicles, as well as at least 40% of the personnel, were suppressed and almost unable to move. The surviving people could only hide in a remote corner and shivered.

"We have no time left for giving up all the troops that cannot be evacuated immediately." After Xia Fei received this message, he couldn't help but sigh. This was his second time to cut off his arm. So, at least 25,000 French troops were abandoned again. What awaited them was the sharp attack of the German Rapid Legion, and they were isolated and no one could rescue them from the predicament.

When he learned that the French army had begun to retreat, Count Schmidt no longer retained any of his resignations. He sent out all his troops and tried his best to protect the retreating French army. So more than 300 tanks and various self-propelled artillery ran in the field. Behind them, the Bavarian legion of four divisions completely dispersed, pursuing the retreating French army as much as possible.

There is no suspense about the remaining battle. After the French army's most elite troops began to evacuate, although the French army left behind tried their best to block the Germans, they finally fought with the opponent's absolute superior firepower and troops crushed. When night fell, the Bavarian Legion had cut off the French defense line in half, and in the depth direction, the German Legion had rushed to about 30 kilometers behind the French's main defense line. Such a large depth completely made the French lose the possibility of restoring the defense line.

With the collapse of the French army, this time, the German army also captured a lot. The French FT10 and Renault and others looked down on them at all. If the Turks wanted it, they would just take it away. What really made the Germans happy was that at least 60 large-caliber cannons left by France on the battlefield, including the m1913 155mm-gpf long-range cannons that had just been put into the battlefield (the performance refers to the historical m1917 GPF cannon). There were also land cannons modified from 6-inch and 4.7-inch naval cannons left by the British. These heavy long-range cannons greatly made up for the shortcomings of the Bavarian Army's long-range cannons.

At the same time, the thousands of Renault and Citroen trucks left by the French are also a very valuable asset. Although these vehicles require some repair, they can greatly enhance the logistics supply capacity and mobility of the Bavarian Legion.

In this battle that began last night, the Bavarian Legion wiped out at least 40,000 French troops, and surrounded at least tens of thousands of French troops. In the next few days, these French people in the encirclement will also enter the Bavarian Legion's prisoner-of-war camp. The French front was cut into two sections, and the French army with a total attack of about 100,000 were left on the position. If they wanted to retreat at this time, then wait to be annihilated in the wilderness by the Bavarian Rapid Division!

Xia Fei's early evacuation plan is still useful. At least 60,000 elite French troops and more than 200 tanks and destroyers slipped out of the Germans. Then at least three divisions of French and British troops would join Xia Fei as reinforcements. If the plan is successful, Xia Fei could have at least about 100,000 troops in his hands.

The British Air Force also suffered heavy losses in this day's battle. At least 60 fighter jets were shot down in air combat, and 30 were lost due to mechanical failures and fuel problems. The British prepared air defense barrier for the French lost one-third of the time, which made Lieutenant General Trenchard, who was far away in Greece, feel heartbroken. What's worse is that the British Air Force lost the advance base and a large number of ground crews, which is very unfavorable for future air combat deployment.

"Mr. Commander, what is our next plan of action? The French seemed to have exceeded our expectations." Marshall asked during the German and American officer dinner that night.

"First consolidate the position, replenish ammunition and supplies. At the same time, launch a limited attack on the French army guarding the position." Earl Schmidt thought for a while and said.

"But reinforcements from the French and British people will come soon, and they are likely to make a comeback. You once said that the best defense is attack. Even if we cannot kill the Xiafei troops in the distance, then we should at least eliminate the French troops remaining on the positions as soon as possible, right?" Marshall said.
