Expedition to Europe

In 1864, 12 countries including Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal signed the Geneva Convention in Geneva. Initially, the Geneva Convention only focused on the neutral status of military hospitals and medical personnel, and the reception and care of wounded and sick soldiers regardless of their nationality.

As time went on, the Geneva Convention was revised in 1899 and 1907 to expand the protection of prisoners of war.

The so-called "prisoners of war" are clearly defined. For example: have fixed special signs that can be identified from a distance; carry weapons openly; fight in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

Military uniforms are fixed special signs that can be identified from a distance.

Therefore, the troops of countries that have signed the Geneva Convention basically have no habit of fighting in enemy uniforms. The reason is simple. If you fight in your own uniform, once you are captured, you can be treated as a prisoner of war in accordance with the Geneva Convention. If you fight in enemy uniforms, once you are captured, you will not be protected by the Geneva Convention, which means that at that time, it will depend on the enemy's mood to kill or cut.

For Griffin and Hu Tingfeng, the Geneva Convention has no binding force at all. They don't even know that there is such a thing. Even if they know, they won't care. Compared with foreigners, Chinese people have always used all means to fight. Look at the Thirty-Six Stratagems, think about the ruthlessness of fire and water. When Chinese people are ruthless, foreigners are not like them at all.

If necessary, let Griffin and Hu Tingfeng go to the battlefield naked, and they will not have any psychological burden.

Qin Zhiyuan has psychological burden.

Almost when the battle just started, the two phones in front of Qin Zhiyuan rang almost at the same time.

Ring ring ring...

The moment he heard the ring, Qin Zhiyuan jumped up quickly from the chair. Before the first ring was over, Qin Zhiyuan grabbed the microphone.

"This is the wolf's den, and I am the wolf."

Although the Germans prefer to call themselves wolves, Qin Zhiyuan still codenamed the headquarters "Wolf's Den".

The French like chickens, so they can't call it "chicken coop".

The voice coming from the microphone was in French. Qin Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. This was from the two divisions that cooperated with the Sixth Regiment.

Before the operation, Qin Zhiyuan had communicated with the two division commanders and informed them of the date of the attack, but did not inform them of the specific time and combat plan. This was done to prevent intelligence leaks.

Europe is so small, and the relationship between the Aryans and the Gauls is complicated. There is a lot of infiltration between each other. In order to ensure the suddenness of the tactical launch, Qin Zhiyuan can only deal with it this way.

Judging from Qin Zhiyuan's reaction, his heart may not be as calm as on the surface.

Qin Zhiyuan has reason to worry. This is the first time that the Chinese have acted as the main tactical subject. No one knows what will happen. It may be smooth sailing, or it may fail. Qin Zhiyuan hopes to make the Sixth Regiment famous with one shot and establish a new image of the Chinese in front of the French and British.

It must be kept secret before the war. Once it starts, it will be meaningless. Qin Zhiyuan explained to the other end of the phone that the battle has begun and asked them to launch a diversionary attack on the German army in front of them according to the predetermined plan.

The French General Staff is not as famous as the German one, but it can also perform basic functions. For various situations, the General Staff has response plans, and the two divisions just need to follow the response plans.

"Qin, it seems that you are also very nervous." Qin Zhiyuan's performance was seen by Pierre, and Pierre teased.

"Pierre, if it was your child fighting on the front line, you would be more nervous than me." Qin Zhiyuan did not deny it. Qin Zhiyuan is not an iron man, and nervousness is an instinctive reaction.

"Yes, if I were you, I would be more nervous." Pierre did not deny it either. It was precisely because of this that Foch arranged Pierre in the headquarters.

"Gentlemen, there is no point in being nervous now. We can only choose to trust the soldiers on the front line." Hunter has rich combat experience and has now completely entered the role.

Ring ring ring...

The phone rang again, and Qin Zhiyuan picked up the receiver.

"Hello, Colonel. I'm Demps Gail. Your children are really capable. They have already rushed into the German position and have done a great job. Now, I think we need to bombard the German second line of defense so that they can't organize support." Demps Gail was so enthusiastic that he forgot to use code names.

"I don't think it's necessary, Colonel. We have our people there and they can handle it." Qin Zhiyuan's heart finally settled down in his stomach. Now it depends on how much results can be achieved.

When Chen Kangjian began to attack the tunnel, Liu Zizheng led the troops just set off. They carried the heavy machine guns and light machine guns originally equipped by the Sixth Regiment and were going to the German position to prepare for ground defense.

Liu Zizheng and his men only brought guns, but not many bullets. The machine guns originally equipped by the Sixth Regiment were all captured from the Germans. Their calibers were the same, and the German position had plenty of bullets, so they didn't need to carry them separately.

Since they were moving lightly, the speed was faster.

"Hurry up, run forward." Liu Zizheng still thought it was too slow.

Not far from Liu Zizheng, the soldier who had just fallen on the charge was receiving battlefield first aid. The total number of wounded soldiers was not large, only about thirty people, about seven or eight were killed, more than a dozen were seriously injured, and the rest had penetrating wounds.

The trenches have been cleared, with guns and corpses scattered everywhere, and a strong smell of blood. The bottom of the trenches was blown deep and shallow by grenades, and the walls collapsed in some places, which fully proved what kind of hard battle Chen Kangjian and his team had just experienced.

There are no wounded soldiers from the Sixth Regiment in the trenches, and they have all been transferred to the rear. Occasionally, one or two German wounded soldiers are lingering, and no one cares about these people. If they can hold on until dawn, they may get help. Now it is definitely not possible. The military doctors of the Sixth Regiment must rescue their own people first.

The German trenches are well built, with complete defense facilities, reasonable organization, and clear levels. However, due to the direction, there is no shooting position on this side facing the German second line of defense. If you want to set up a machine gun position, you can only dig it yourself.

Liu Zizheng didn't say anything nonsense, picked up his engineer shovel and started working.

The officers of the Sixth Regiment were dressed like ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, which could ensure the integrity of the command system to the greatest extent.

While digging fortifications, Liu Zizheng heard violent explosions and fierce gunfire from the second line of defense of the Germans.

"What's going on?" Liu Zizheng was not clear about the sudden attack by Griffith.

"I don't know, it looks like a fight has started. Could it be that the Germans are fighting among themselves?" Someone maliciously speculated.

"I don't think so, maybe the French organized a sneak attack." Someone blamed others.

"Why not? They are all wearing German clothes." Someone held a telescope.

"Messenger, go over and see what's going on!" Liu Zizheng did not guess and sent someone to confirm it.

Before the messenger set off, a shirtless guy ran over from the second line of defense.

"Master Liu, hurry up, Master Ge asks you to defend the second position." The man who came was Hu Tingfeng's subordinate, and Liu Zizheng knew him.

"Oh my god, this speed is so fast!" Liu Zizheng sighed, not because of Griffith's speed, but because he had no chance to make a contribution.
