Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In fact, the defense area of ​​Orly's Purple Flower Infantry Division was not on this side of the Marne River, but in Paris.

After all, as the most recent elite infantry division in the entire Gallic Empire, it only blocked the Hans Empire's attack in the Somme area a few months ago.

After that attack, the Purple Flower Infantry Division also suffered heavy losses and was transferred to Paris for rest.

After that, the Hans Empire launched the third Somme Offensive. At that time, the Purple Flower Infantry Division was still not fully replenished, so the High Command of the Gallic Empire asked the Purple Flower Infantry Division to continue to garrison Paris.

Regarding such a decision, we cannot say that the High Command of the Gallic Empire had anything wrong. After all, the Purple Flower Infantry Division was the elite among the elite of the Gallic Empire.

If this kind of positional attrition war is not necessary, no one would want to put this level of elite troops in the trenches.

Such elite troops should be used as sharp knives, a sharp knife piercing the enemy's chest.

To put it simply, the Purple Flower Infantry Division can only demonstrate its greatest value when it is on the offensive.

Another aspect is that the replenishment of troops is relatively slow. As we all know, the more elite a team is, the slower it is to replenish its troops. If a large number of new soldiers are added, the combat effectiveness of the entire unit will be weakened.

The High Command of the Gallic Empire was unwilling to reduce the combat effectiveness of the Purple Flower Infantry Division, so it could only replenish it slowly.

However, it was only a few days late, and the Gallic Empire High Command had to let the Purple Flower Infantry Division attack.

But at this time, the Purple Flower Infantry Division (large establishment), which should have been full of 2.1 people, actually had only 1.3 people.

However, the weapons and equipment are still complete.

Oli was sitting in an independent carriage in the train. He was holding in his hand the latest order given to him by the Imperial High Command, requiring him to arrive in the Somersu area before 3 p.m. and build a defense line in the area. , blocking the Imperial Division of the Hans Empire.

As a senior officer of the Gallic Empire, Oli was very aware of the capabilities of the Imperial Division of the Hans Empire.

Let's put it this way, the status of the Imperial Division in the Hans Empire is equivalent to the status of the Purple Flower Infantry Division in the Gallic Empire.

These two armies have been old rivals since the Franco-Prussian War. The two sides have fought against each other no less than ten times, with both sides winning and losing.

However, after each battle, both sides need several months, or even a year, to regain their strength.

It can also be seen from this point that every time these two armies fight, there will be a large number of casualties, so that the replenishment of soldiers is too slow.

At this time, Oli actually did not agree with the decision of the headquarters to ask him to station.

Purple Golden Flower's strength lies in attacking, attacking non-stop! Use his own powerful attack power to tear apart the opponent's defense, and then link up with the teams in front to counterattack with him.

Just like what he did on the Somme a few months ago, he did not stick to one position, but regarded the entire front as his battlefield.

Keep attacking, attacking, and attacking again. Only by disrupting the enemy's deployment can we give our side a chance to breathe and have the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

This is why Zijinhua was able to block the Hans Empire last time and buy time for the rear to build a second line of defense.

But it was precisely because of his active attack that he caused a large number of casualties to Zijinhua. So this time, the headquarters strictly ordered him not to take the initiative and instead defend in the trenches.

Ollie was not satisfied with such an order, but he had no way of refusing.

"General, we are almost at Sommersu." The adjutant knocked on the door and walked into the carriage where Ollie was.

"Inform the soldiers to build a defensive position immediately after arriving at Sommersu." After hearing the adjutant's words, Ollie folded the order in his hand a few times, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

"Defensive position?" The adjutant was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Ollie, he shouldn't be defensive.

It's not like he has never been asked by the headquarters to station in a certain area before. As a result, Ollie ignored this order at all and still pursued the idea of ​​​​attack, attack, and attack again.

"This time is different. This time it is not only the headquarters, but also my grandfather and Marshal Fuxi. They all asked us to garrison Sommersu." Oli said helplessly.

In fact, Ollie can understand the concerns of the headquarters and his grandfather. They are simply afraid that the Purple Flower Infantry Division will suffer further losses.

Although stationing in place may cause less damage, it also limits the powerful attack power of Zijinhua.

Ollie had reservations about such an order, but he also had no way to refuse.

The adjutant heard what Ollie said, and he understood Ollie's helplessness.

The adjutant just nodded, turned and left the car where Ollie was.

Soon, the train stopped at the platform in Somersou. Under the scolding of the officers, the soldiers jumped off the train and began to form a team.

Seeing that the train had stopped at the station, Ollie also stood up and packed his things.

As he picked up a book, a photo fell from the pages.

When Ollie saw the photo, his movements suddenly froze, and the expression on his face was stunned.

He slowly put down the book in his hand and picked up the photo.

There are two people in the photo, a man and a woman. The man is still himself, and the girl is Xue Deyu.

Oli picked up the photo and looked at Xue Deyu in the photo affectionately, with a smile on his face.

"Hannah, how are you doing?"

"Where are you now?"

"I miss you…"

Ollie murmured, his eyes full of affection. His mind was filled with every detail between him and Xue Deyu.

The memories are full of sweetness, and everything seems like yesterday.

Although, Ollie didn't know that Hannah's feelings for him were probably fake.

"General..." The adjutant came in and saluted Ollie.

"What's the matter?" Ollie raised his head and looked at his adjutant.

"The soldiers have been assembled. What should we do next? General, please give me your instructions!" the adjutant asked, looking at Ollie.

"Let the soldiers build fortifications nearby as soon as possible. This is the only way to Paris! We must hold it."

"As long as we hold on to Somesu, we can buy time for the brothers behind us!" Ollie said in a deep voice.

He is not a person who hesitates. Since he has decided to obey the order of the headquarters and station in Sommersu, he will strive to do his best. He will let everyone in the headquarters see it.

Elites are elites. Even if they are not the best at attacking, they are still confident that they can defeat any enemy.

When the adjutant heard Ollie's words, he immediately became full of fighting spirit, then turned and left.

After the adjutant went out, Ollie looked at the photo in his hand again, and then stuffed the photo into his jacket pocket.

Putting on his military cap, Ollie walked to the carriage door. He had already seen soldiers beginning to occupy the buildings near the station.

Not only buildings, the soldiers of the Purple Flower Infantry Division have begun to wield shovels and dig into the ground, preparing to build a trench.
