Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III
Chapter 225
In the Ardennes mountains, infrastructure construction is backward and roads are difficult to travel.
Both the Germanic Empire and the Gallic Kingdom seemed to have deliberately neglected this area, and did not invest much in and develop it. As a result, development here is late, dense forests everywhere, and there are no decent roads.
Even in war, the Gauls never thought that the Germans would attack Gaul from this direction. Because that is absolutely impossible and unrealistic.
If nothing else, the roads here alone cannot accommodate large troops.
But what the Gauls did not expect was that the Germans had secretly built roads in the Ardennes. Although the roads built are not good, they are barely accessible to the troops.
Even the Wolf light tanks, Hound armored vehicles, trucks and heavy artillery are passable. It’s just that the speed is relatively slower.
However, compared to the unexpected appearance of a large army on the side of the Gauls and the sun that does not set, all problems can be understood and tried to solve.
However, it would take at least a week for the Germanic army to emerge from the Ardennes.
During this time period, the frontal battlefield has been fought very fiercely.
The Germanic Imperial Army used tens of thousands of artillery pieces to open fire fiercely, and shells after shells smashed into the Gaul and Sunset defense lines like they didn’t want money.
In order to avoid the destruction of their own defenses, the artillery of the Gauls and the sunless could only bite the bullet and launch a return fire.
In the previous war, the artillery of the Gauls and the Sun Never Set suffered heavy losses. This made them insufficient to suppress the artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army.
Especially the Germanic Imperial Air Force will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Swarms of aircraft appeared in the sky and began to attack the artillery positions of the Gauls and the Sunseters.
And the air force of the Gauls, after the previous war of attrition, has already lost almost the same. Now the sky has been completely dominated by the fighters of the German Imperial Air Force. The Gauls and the sun did not set, and could only rely on anti-aircraft fire on the ground to withstand the attack of the German Imperial Air Force. But such a passive defense does not have much effect at all.
In a big war between industrial powers, firepower preparation is very strong and necessary.
It’s as if these shells are completely unexpensive, and even if you exchange ten shells for one enemy, it is very cost-effective.
In other words, ordinary countries would never have imagined that war would be so tragic and cruel.
The entire northern region of Gaul is about to be scorched into a scorched earth.
Such a heavy shelling and bombing by the Germanic Imperial Army could not attract the attention of the Gauls and the Sunseters.
At the Allied Military Conference, almost all the generals agreed that the Germanic Imperial Army was about to launch a large-scale attack.
“There is no doubt that the Germans are already preparing for fire. Once they have completed their fire preparations, they will definitely launch a large-scale attack on us. This will be a great test for us. Will our army be able to withstand the attack of the Germans? If we can’t resist it, then our front will be penetrated by the Germans. That would have disastrous consequences for us! Marshal Xia Fei’s expression was serious.
The Marne Line was already the last strong line of defense that the Gallic Army could have.
Once it was broken through by the Germanic Empire, then the Germanic Imperial Army would inevitably drive straight into the central and southern regions of Gaul. At that time, I am afraid that they will be even more irresistible. And the country of Gaul is completely finished.
After all, this war was fought on the territory of the Gallic state. The destroyed cities, the destroyed industrial base, are all Gauls. The Gauls paid a very high price in this war.
“This time we really need to do everything we can to resist the Germans. Otherwise, we will lose badly on the entire Western Front. Marshal French, commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets, also said.
Although, the generals of the Imperial Expeditionary Force may not be able to empathize with those Gallic generals and be as prepared to fight hard to resist the attack of the Germans.
But they also knew very well that for the sake of the interests of the empire that never sets, they would never be able to let the Germans win this war. Otherwise, of course, the Gauls will be finished. But they will also pay a very heavy price for this.
“In the previous phase of the counter-attack, we have already lost a lot. All army groups paid a lot of casualties. More importantly, the morale of the troops was also greatly affected. If this continues, it may be difficult to resist the attack of the Germans. Marshal Douglas Haig, deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, said.
Although, on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Bilis, the 1st Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force of Marshal Douglas’s cabinet was almost completely destroyed.
However, he himself escaped.
He was also not punished, but became the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.
However, the 1st Army was not able to rebuild and was directly cancelled.
The other generals also nodded one after another.
They thought they would win a massive attack, but instead hit their heads on the Germanic defenses.
You can imagine what a blow it is for them!
Next, it is undoubtedly more difficult to withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.
Now, in the face of the imminent large-scale attack of the Germanic Imperial Army, many Gallic soldiers and soldiers who never set the sun are already afraid and afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
This has had a very big impact on the morale of the troops.
“Generals, we are all very clear about the problems we are facing. However, both the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire of the Sun Never Set have been cornered by the Germans. We must do everything we can to resist the Germanic attack. As long as we can hold on, the Russian Empire will be able to launch a large-scale offensive on the Eastern Front. At that time, in the case of fighting on two fronts, the Germans will definitely not be able to hold out. The final victory will inevitably belong to us! Raymond Poencaré looked firm.
The marshals and generals of the Gallic Army and the Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set Empire who attended the meeting also understood this very well. They all knew that if they did not resist the attack of the Germans, they would be finished.
