“General Xiafei, what is the situation in the kingdom of Billys?” Did the Germans break through the fortress of Liège? Raymond Poincaré was worried.
Once the Fortress of Liège was breached by the Germanic Army, the Germanic Army was able to drive straight into the heart of the Kingdom of Belgium. You don’t have to think about it to know how much of a blow this will be to the Kingdom of Billys.
“Your Excellency, the outer defenses of the fortress of Liege have almost fallen. However, the main line of defense was still in the hands of the Billys Army. The army of the Kingdom of Pylis has reached the front line of the fortress of Liège and is receiving reinforcements. However, the Germanic Imperial Army had too many troops and the attack was very rapid. The Belgians alone could not have resisted the Attack of the Germans. Admiral Xia Fei said.
“What about our reinforcements? For them to speed up, they must reinforce the Belgians as soon as possible. We must limit the war to the kingdom of Billys, and we must not let the war burn on our land! Raymond Poincaré ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency, The President. The 1st and 2nd Armies had entered the kingdom of Belgium. The 3rd Army had reached the border and could immediately enter the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium. Admiral Xia Fei said.
“So what are you waiting for?” Let the 3rd Army also enter the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium. It would be best to support the Belgians in fending off the Germanic attack on the front line of the fortress of Liege. Raymond Poincaré said.
Admiral Xia Fei nodded and immediately gave the order.
With the 3rd Army of the Gallic Army also entering the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Gallic Army entering the Kingdom of Belgium has reached 3 armies, 600,000 people.
Not only that, but after the landing of the 1st Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force in Gaul, it also went straight to the kingdom of Billys.
As the armies of the Entente group entered the Kingdom of Belgium grew, the plans of the Germanic Army seemed to be on the verge of being realized.
In the southern part of the Dutch Kingdom, the Germanic Imperial Army’s 1st Army, 2nd Army, and 3rd Army were ready for surprise attacks. In particular, the three armored divisions have long sharpened their swords.
The Germanic Empire completely used the battle of the Kingdom of Belgium as a bait to lure the Entente group into the bait. The Entente group, on the other hand, did not seem to have thought of this at all, and actually took the bait.
The sun never sets on the mainland of the Empire, Bai Lin, the General Staff.
“Your Majesty, the armies of the Allied group entering the territory of the Kingdom of Billy are growing, and the Gauls alone have invested six hundred thousand men. If we add 600,000 troops mobilized by the Pylisians and 200,000 men of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets, the total strength has reached 1.4 million. This is even greater than the strength of the six armies we have assembled. Admiral Moltke Jr. was very excited.
If this battle can be won, both the Gauls and the Belgians will be severely damaged. Next, the Germanic Imperial Army would sweep through the entire kingdom of Belgium, opening the way for an advance into the northern part of Gaul and gaining absolute superiority on the battlefield.
“Very well, since the fish are already hooked. Then we can also close the net. Order the troops on the front line to attack according to the plan. Still let the 4th Army, the 5th Army and the 6th Army launch a fierce attack, drawing the Armies of the Allied Groups as far east as possible to the east of the fortress of Liege, so that they could gather as much as possible in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Belgium. In this way, we can better annihilate them! August looked at the map hanging on the wall, his face full of excitement.
This feeling of using the world as a chessboard and commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight and kill in the chessboard is really too good, which makes Auguste very excited.
“Yes, Your Majesty. According to the plan, the 1st Army, the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army would attack from the south of the Dutch Kingdom. Among them, the 1st Army directly attacked Antwerp, and then advanced towards Ghent, waiting for the opportunity to attack Lille in the north of the Gaulish State and tear open the Gallic Army’s defense line in the north. Mechelen, the 2nd Army, marched and then directly attacked Brusel. After that, they attacked La Louvière and Charleroi, cutting off the rear of the main allied forces. The 3rd Army attacked Hasselt and then the rear of the Fortress of Liège, in conjunction with the 4th, 5th, and 6th Armies on the front, annihilating the main forces of the Allied group. Admiral Moltke Jr. marked on the map the lines of attack of several main armies of the Germanic Empire Army.
“Very well, it seems that our battle plan will soon be successful!” Auguste smiled.
“But, Your Majesty. The outer defenses of the Fortress of Liège had fallen, though. However, the main defense line is still very strong, and the defense force is also extremely strong. Relying on existing artillery, it is difficult to destroy them. Admiral Moltke Jr. said.
“Let our heavy artillery units move. The heavy artillery unit has been secretly formed for so long, and it is also time for them to appear and show their strength! Auguste ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Moltke Jr. answered.
The Germanic Imperial Army secretly formed a heavy artillery unit, which was small in number but very powerful.
It was a heavy cannon that was mounted on trains and transported by rail, including a 210 mm train gun with a caliber of 210 mm, as well as a 280 mm train gun, and a 305 mm train gun.
The largest caliber is the 380 mm train gun, but the number is only two.
These train guns had been deployed to the western part of the Germanic Empire before the outbreak of war. After receiving the order, within a few hours, it was possible to maneuver to the front line by rail and launch an attack on the target.
In particular, the Kingdom of Belgium was also a country with developed railways. The train guns of the Germanic Army could even enter the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium through the railway.
These train guns, of course, were specially prepared for the fortress of Liege and the strong positions in gaul.
Once the Germanic Empire conquered the entire kingdom of Belgium and invaded the territory of Gaul, it could even be directly maneuvered to the territory of Gaul by rail.
Although the formation of the train artillery unit, a lot of financial and human and material resources were spent. However, August believes that the performance of these train artillery units on the battlefield will be very amazing, and it will make everyone think that it is worth the money!
