After occupying Amiens, four German armies advanced together, and the army rushed towards the last line of defense of the French. However, with the extension of the supply line and the loss of the troops, Kruger's initial plan to launch a decisive battle on the Rouen-Paris line was not realized. Both sides were in a stalemate in Forgeleso and Beauvey's generation. The Germans could not attack for a while, but the French could not fight.

More and more German troops are deploying on this line, and opposite them are the number of Allied troops that are no less than that of their own side. The French have preset positions and supplementary large amounts of artillery. The air force has a smaller combat radius and has a longer staying in the air. On the contrary, it is difficult for the Luftwaffe to rely on. The number of army armored troops is also very limited and can no longer support a full-scale attack.

Kruger also tried to organize a large-scale assault. He concentrated the three most elite armored battalions of the First Army Group, equipped with a complete motorized infantry division and a large number of artillery to launch an attack on the Forgeleso generation defended by the French. However, this attack made Kruger feel extremely difficult.

"The opponent's troops' density has increased by at least 2 times." This is the first sentence of the front-line officer in the telegram. As the troops' density increases, the firepower density also increases. Without the suppression of the air force, the British long-range artillery can compete with the German heavy artillery forces, and even have a slight advantage. At this time, the German train gun was still 100 kilometers away... There is no way, the railway is gone, and the train gun cannot move.

In order to deal with the two armies on the German North Line, the French had to invest the armored clusters in the strategic reserve team on the North Line. Although the French armored troops were severely damaged, more than 300 tanks and truck guns could be used. The mines in front of the position were even more spread out without any money.

On the other hand, although the German army had a large number of armored troops, there were not many that could go to the front line, and many vehicles needed to be overhauled or replaced. However, this time, it was not just because of the use problem, and some parts were damaged by violent artillery fire during the battle, or the air filters caused the tank to run poorly. Overall, the firepower level of the Allies was indeed several levels higher than that of the Russians!

The armored troops can barely advance, but the infantry behind them are not. Howitzers from Britain and France are too lethal for trucks and large-scale infantry units exposed to the wilderness. Kruger's trucks only solved the problem of infantry transport, but the problem of how to successfully send these infantry to combat areas cannot be solved. "We don't dare to ride trucks in the war zone. As long as one round is close to the bomb loss! One of our infantry squads will be reimbursed! The British long-range artillery and the French howitzers are too lethal. They keep bombarding our support units. Every soldier trying to arrive at the front line needs to shuttle in the rain of bullets. An infantry regiment is often knocked out before reaching the deep combat area!" General Bock, who has become the division commander, wrote in his report.

So, the final result became like this. With the help of firepower and air force, the German armored forces successfully broke through the first release line, and then successfully broke through the second release line, and the infantry could not keep up, and the exhausted offensive forces collided with the French armored reserves, and finally retreated successfully before the breakthrough was successfully closed...

"We are unable to break through the opponent's lineup, for at least 2 months, the armored forces need to rest and various artillery and ammunition need to be replenished. Our previous reserves have been consumed by about half, so the best situation now is to listen to the advice of the Bavarian prince and see if we can win another victory before the end of the battle." In a telegram to the German Emperor, Kruger admitted the failure of the offensive operation.

At the same time, when the French blocked the German attack on the northern line, the troops drawn from the southern line had already arrived at the battle assembly area. Their mission was to launch a fierce counterattack against the Third Army Group in the middle of the German road. More and more numbers appeared in the radio waves. According to the deciphering of the password, Ruprecht and his staff believed that on their flanks, at least about 16 divisions of French troops had been concentrated!

"There are very few armored troops, and these troops should not have many heavy artillery, otherwise they would not have been mobilized so quickly. Although there are many people, the most weapons are machine guns and a certain amount of 75-speed guns." Kariput said.

"That's good. According to our defense plan, the troops strengthened from the Northern Line will arrive soon. I need to go to Amiens first. The final battle is about to begin." The prince said.

"Your Highness, this is the current situation of all the German Legion and the adjusted force of the French Legion on the southern front. I hope you can check it out before going to Amiens." Kariput handed over a document marked with the top secret.

In this battle, the German army on the Western Front used two-thirds of its troops! Only the southern front, the two German armies stationed on the Alsace-Lorraine line did not launch a large-scale attack. Although the proportion of tanks and aircrafts equipped by these two armies was not high, they could still gather 500 tanks and more than 700 various aircraft. To outsiders, such a force was simply a crime to stay on the southern front and do nothing!

However, was it really a mistake between the German General Staff and the Prince? Of course, it was not that the German army on the southern front did not launch an attack, but was looking for opportunities, or in other words, as an alternative plan after the failure of the attack on Paris!

The situation on the southern line can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack. The western part of Alsace is a hilly area, with the entire Lorraine area mainly plateaus, and there are many valleys cut across north and south. This makes it difficult to mobilize large-scale troops. In history, the French attacked this area in one battle. The one who defended was Prince Ruprecht's Bavarian army, but at the same time, the prince's offense was not successful. So this is a zone where you can defend successfully at a less cost. This is an objective environment and cannot be changed!

In other words, if both sides have equal strengths and face the same two French armies, the two armies on the southern front of Germany will not be able to defeat the opponent at all! Therefore, the profit from the attack is very small! Instead of doing this, it is better to remain silent! But Germany has the reason to have to capture this area!

After a while, the German army was unable to cross the Alsace-Lorraine region and enter central France. The gates to the south were tightly locked, so millions of German troops could only be deployed from the English Channel to the Verdun Fortress. The Allies could also concentrate a large number of troops here, and a large number of troops were concentrated on a not-wide front. The density of troops and firepower could be described as unprecedented. Without detours, the two sides could only fight hard! Use various means to consume the national strength of their opponents.
