Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The Germanic Empire launched a massive attack on the Kingdom of Belgium, which immediately shocked both the Gaul And the Empire of the Rising Sun.
The Gallic Commander-in-Chief, Raymond Poincaré, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Gaulish State, Admiral Xiafei, had urgent deliberations and a quick decision was made.
Both Admiral Raymond Poincaré and Admiral Xiafei believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Germanic Empire to conquer the kingdom of Belgium, and that the war must be kept out of Gaul.
If war breaks out in the kingdom of Billys. Then, the country of Gaul will not be greatly affected. The Gaulish state could continuously mobilize more troops into the battlefield. At the same time, Gaul’s industry will also be fully operational, producing a large number of weapons and equipment.
Once the flames of war reached the gallic mainland, the consequences would be very serious.
The land of Gaul will be scorched, and the cities of Gaul will be blown to rubble. A large number of people will die because of the war.
Admiral Xiafei ordered the 1st and 2nd Armies, assembled on the border, to immediately go to the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium to fight. At the same time, the 3rd Army, the 4th Army and the 5th Army, massing on the northern border of gaul, were ready to reinforce the Kingdom of Belgium.
Moreover, in order to be able to defeat the Germanic Empire in this war, the Gauls were also doing their best to mobilize.
The 6th Army, the 7th Army, the 8th Army, the 9th Army and the 10th Army were all rapidly forming.
A large number of young people are being mobilized into the army, and one unit after another is being rapidly formed, armed, quickly completed training and put into the battlefield.
At the same time, the Empire of the Rising Sun also reacted.
The Empire had feared that the kingdoms of Gaul and The Kingdom of Belgium alone would not be able to withstand the attack of the Germanic Empire. Once the Gaul Kingdom was defeated, the Empire would be unable to survive and would only be able to hold its homeland.
Marshal John Frunche, commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, led the 1st Army of the Expeditionary Force to the Kingdom of Gaul to support the Gauls and The Belgians against the Germanic attack.
At the same time, the 2nd and 3rd Armies of the Expeditionary Force will also quickly travel to gaul.
After the Germanic Empire invaded the territory of the Kingdom of Billys, it took only one day to reach the fortress of Liège.
More than 100,000 remnants of the Pylithian Army were defeated and all retreated into the fortifications of the Fortress of Liège, in an attempt to use the fortress to resist the attack of the Germanic Empire. At the same time, reinforcements from the Pylisian Army were also massing around the fortress of Liège.
On 11 August, General Howson, commander of the 4th Army of the Germanic Empire, and the Duke of Württemberg, commander of the 5th Army, met in front of the Fortress of Liège.
As for the 6th Army, it launched an attack on the southern part of the Fortress of Liège, led by Prince Ruprecht.
“Your Excellency, the Billys have high hopes for this fortress! The main part of the fortress is almost always poured with reinforced concrete. Moreover, the main part is hidden underground. We want to destroy this fortress, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy! Admiral Howson had a serious expression.
Although, the Germanic Army gathered heavy troops and tried to capture the Fortress of Liege in one fell swoop.
However, if too much was paid in the process of attacking this fortress, it would not be in the interest of the Germanic Empire.
“Your Excellency, general, it will not be difficult for us to conquer the fortress of Liege. His Majesty the Emperor had ordered the heavy artillery forces to assemble. However, we must complete the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff, so we need to slow down the pace of the offensive for the time being. The Duke of Württemberg replied.
Admiral Howson nodded.
“Then let us launch an offensive appropriately, create a tense atmosphere, let the enemy’s reinforcements continue to assemble around the fortress of Liege, and create favorable conditions for other troops!” Admiral Howson said.
The Duke of Württemberg naturally had no objection to this.
On the afternoon of 11 August, the Germanic Imperial Army’s 4th and 5th Armies besieged the fortress of Liège.
The two armies concentrated more than two thousand artillery pieces and focused on attacking the fortifications around the main fortress of Liège.
Although, the defense of the fortress of Liège was strong. However, the Germanic Army, with its massive artillery fire, was still unable to resist.
One defensive fortress after another was destroyed, and machine gun bunkers and the like were blown up.
One elite Germanic army unit after another, supported by their own strong artillery fire, attacked the fortress of Liege.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The artillery deployed on the fortress of Liège was also fiercely returning fire.
The counterattack of the Belgians certainly caused some losses to the Germanic Imperial Army. However, the losses are very limited.
The outer fortresses of the Fortress of Liège, on the other hand, continued to fall under the fierce attack of the Germanic Army.
“Boom! Rumble! ”
The mortars of the attacking forces continued to fire, providing direct fire support for the infantry of the Germanic Empire.
These mortars were unable to destroy the strong fortresses and fortresses of the Pylis. However, this kind of firepower that can be curved is very easy to deal with machine gun bunkers.
This allowed the Large Number of Machine Gun Bunkers built by the Pylisians to be destroyed almost without much effect.
Otherwise, the Germanic Army would have to pay a very heavy price if it wanted to destroy the Pilisian defenses.
Under the fierce attack of the Germanic Army, the losses of the Pyllis Army were increasing.
With the fall of a large number of outer defenses, the remnants of the army could only retreat to the main fortifications of the Fortress of Liège, and use the strong fortifications to resist the attack of the Germanic Empire.
“Your Excellency, Commander, the Germanic firepower is too fierce, and we have suffered great losses. The outer defense line was no longer able to hold out, and in two days at most it would be completely occupied by the Germans. If this continues, even if the main structure of the Liege Fortress is strong in defense, I am afraid that it will not last too long! A Pylitric Army general had a worried look on his face.
“Our reinforcements will arrive soon, and let them build a defensive line behind the fortress of Liège, ready to resist the Germanic attack after the fall of the fortress!” Lieutenant General Giladlemann, commander of the Fortress of Liège, had a serious expression.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! However, the Germanics were menacing and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. We, the troops alone, may not be able to resist it! The general was still worried.
“The Gauls and the Empire of the Sun have sent reinforcements, and we will soon have enough troops to resist the Germanic attack!” Lieutenant General Girard Lehmann appeared confident.
