SHIELD's new recruits

"I don't know, just wait." Petain thought for a while, and directly issued an order to the front-line artillery to bombard the German front-line positions in an all-round way. I understand, I don't understand what he's doing, but it may be related to the infighting in the United States, after all, it seems very problematic to command an army of tens of thousands in his early twenties."

Haig frowned, and then asked, "Does he want to prove himself?"

"Maybe, it's good to succeed. If he fails, then he is finished. I don't understand this, but now we can only cooperate with the Americans. Otherwise, if we fail and we do nothing, then We two are going to be unlucky, he can see it clearly."

"Who made us ask the Americans now? Their participation in the exhibition is more to ensure that the money we owe them can be repaid." Haig sighed, and the British and French countries were exhausted for more than two years.

The artillery fire on the entire Western Front battlefield was deafening, and when the shelling started across the board, the Germans didn't know what happened. They began to endure the shelling, and their artillery began to counterattack, and the artillery battle between the two sides began.In this way, chaos plus chaos is not just a double effect, but several times.

The news of the American attack was immediately covered by a large amount of information, and the whole line was in a hurry, and the news also reached Berlin. Hindenburg hurriedly bid farewell to the emperor and returned to the front line. He gave the front line an order to stabilize the front line, which is a normal order. , but this gave Wesley a chance.

It is necessary to stabilize the front line, but Wesley has already broken through for a while, and has enough troops and supplies to continue. Until noon, the First Army broke through three lines of defense in a row and had a round with the Marine Corps.

Wesley, who received the notification from the front line, was only [-] kilometers away from the front line, and the ten divisions following him were all in place. "Order the Fourth Army to take over the front line and continue to attack. The Third Army, go directly south to attack the German positions along the way, and connect to the headquarters of the general headquarters."

"Marshal Pétain, our army has broken through the three German defense lines in a row. At present, I have concentrated [-] divisions to go south to the German front and attack their rear. I am making a detour. I hope that the friendly army can launch an attack. You just need to contain or Just break through the enemy's first line of defense."

"What? So fast?" Petain's jaw almost dropped.

"Yes, the purpose of this campaign is to directly take back Belgium in an all-round way, and directly advance the battlefield to the Rhine region of Germany. If we can strive to find a better area to establish a defense line, the significance of this to the European War is very obvious."

"understood."

Petain put down the phone, and then hastily issued an order. After a whole morning of preparations, the British and French troops had an easy task, which was to contain the front-line German troops or break through their positions. Relatively speaking, much preparation was not required.

However, the speed of the British and French troops was also not fast. They launched an attack, which could only serve as a temporary diversion, while the [-] divisions of the U.S. Army went directly south to attack the enemy's flank, which was fatal.

When Hindenburg arrived at the front line, it was already three days later. At this time, the battle was over, and the Rhine River became the new front for both sides. Hindenburg looked dumbfounded at the busy position. A group of defeated soldiers were struggling to deploy positions along the river. , while the other side is relatively calm.

For three days, Wesley let the troops attack alternately and kept going south, causing the entire German defense line to collapse. The German army began to retreat continuously. Eye-opening.

The three-day hurricane advance made the U.S. troops fight heartily, but the troops are now extremely tired. After all, they are troops that have never experienced war. Wesley can't let them attack again. After crossing the Belgian border, the troops are in Bonn, Germany. Position along the Rhine.

Their northern position is on the border of the Netherlands. As a neutral country, the Netherlands also wants to make money from the two. Wesley really wants to bring troops to clean them up, but there are not enough troops, and the international situation allows it, but now Hindenburg wanted to cry but had no tears. After three chaotic days, he could only start to mobilize his troops again. After all, the Allied Powers had already entered Germany.

A weird battle, many people don’t know what’s going on now, a meeting is being held in Washington, USA, “Gentlemen, our General Gibson gave us a surprise, he used hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, Breaking the overall situation of the European war, I have to say that he is indeed a genius." The president said.

This time Wesley was asked to command the expeditionary force. The President did not quite agree, but he was under a lot of pressure, because Wesley did not belong to the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. The two parties spared no effort to win him over, but Wesley Leigh directly refused on the pretext that he was a soldier, so this time the incident was actually not to kill Wesley, but to get him out of the army. Wesley didn't know about it.

Pershing is very happy. He is now the acting general and the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Force. He is organizing the second echelon of troops and is also responsible for delivering supplies to Wesley. "Mr. President, I think it's time to promote the rank of Major General Gibson, It was a really good fight.”

William Benson also said: "Yes, this time he used the Navy and Marine Corps to land behind the first person. Although it is not the first time in the history of warfare, it is undoubtedly the most beautiful one, directly attacking back and forth. When the attacking troops were weak, they successfully broke through the last line of defense."

The praise of the two big men of the navy and army made the politicians very uncomfortable. They wanted to pull Wesley out of the army, but it seemed completely impossible. This young man is really a genius. his brain.

"Very well, I will agree after getting a detailed report, but is it still necessary to send soldiers from the second echelon? General Gibson has done a good job." The president asked.

"Of course, I think we should send the second echelon to start immediately, so that the European war can be ended in the next year. This possibility is very obvious. At the same time, increase the transportation of materials so that he has more cards to play in his hand," Pershing said. .

William Benson also chimed in, "That's right, he has too few troops, otherwise the result this time would definitely be better. Although there are still specific battle reports, it can be seen that his troops are not enough."

Wesley did not have enough troops. Although he was not afraid of the number of enemies, when he used his troops, he obviously felt powerless. Because of the geographical relationship, once his soldiers spread out, they could not cause blisters and could only be used in a concentrated manner.Now the five armies have all entered the defense line, and the frontal defense has reached hundreds of kilometers, but his command has only four marine brigades responsible for protection.
