"I don't know, wait a minute." after thinking about it, beidang directly gave an order to the front-line artillery to comprehensively bombard the front-line positions of the German army. The front-line troops began to prepare for attack, and then turned around and said: "It's hard for us to understand this young general. I can't understand his practice, but it may have something to do with the internal struggle in the United States. After all, he commands hundreds of thousands of troops in his early twenties. This seems very problematic."
Hagrid frowned and then asked, "does he want to prove himself?"
"Maybe. It's good to succeed. If he fails, he'll be finished. I don't understand this. But now we can only cooperate with the Americans. Otherwise, once we fail and we don't do anything, we'll be unlucky. He can see clearly."
"Who wants us to ask Americans now? They want to ensure that we can repay the money we owe them." Haig sighed, exhausting Britain and France in more than two years.
The whole western front battlefield was deafening with gunfire. As soon as the whole line of shelling was launched, the German army didn't know what had happened. They began to bear the shelling, and their artillery began to counterattack, and the shelling between the two sides began. For example, chaos and chaos were not only double the effect, but several times.
The news of the American attack was instantly covered by a large amount of information, and the whole line was in urgent need, and the news also spread to Berlin. Hindenburg hurried to say goodbye to his majesty and returned to the front line. He gave an order to stabilize the front line, a very normal order, but it gave Wesley a chance.
It is necessary to stabilize the front, but Wesley has broken through for a while, and has enough troops and materials to continue. Until noon, the first group army broke through three lines of defense and fought with the Marines.
Wesley, who received the notification from the front line, was only 30 kilometers away from the front line, and all the ten divisions following him had been in place, "ordered the fourth group army to take over the front line and continue the attack. After the first group army retired, the fifth group army turned around, the second group army and the third group army, directly attacked the German positions along the way and connected the telephone of the general headquarters."
"Marshal bedang, our army has continuously broken through the three German defense lines. At present, I have concentrated the troops of 30 divisions to go south to the German front and attack their rear, which is circuitous. I hope the friendly forces can attack. You only need to contain or break through the enemy's first defense line."
"What? So fast?" betten's chin almost fell off.
"Yes, the purpose of this campaign is to directly and comprehensively recover Belgium and directly push the battlefield to the Rhine region of Germany. If we can strive to find a better region and establish a defense line, it is of great significance to the European war."
"I see."
Beidang put down the phone and then hurriedly issued an order. After a morning's preparation, the British and French troops had a very easy task, that is, to contain the front-line German army or break through their positions. Relatively speaking, they didn't need much preparation.
However, the speed of the British and French forces is also not fast. They launched an attack, which can only temporarily play a restraining role. However, the 30 divisions of the US Army directly went south to attack the enemy's flanks, which is fatal.
When Hindenburg arrived at the front line, it was three days later. At this time, the battle was over, and the Rhine became a new front for both sides. Hindenburg looked at the busy position foolishly. A group of disabled and defeated soldiers were difficult to deploy positions along the river, while the opposite was relatively calm.
In three days, Wesley let the troops attack alternately and go south all the time, causing the whole German defense line to collapse. The German army began to retreat continuously. The whole western front position was very chaotic. You have me and I have you, but the lightness and firepower of the US Army were eye opening.
After three days of rapid advance, the U.S. military fought soundly. However, the troops are extremely tired. After all, they are troops who have not experienced war. Wesley can't let them attack again. After crossing the Belgian border, the troops deployed positions along the Rhine River in Bonn, Germany.
Their northern position is on the Dutch border. The Netherlands, as a neutral country, also wants to make money. Wesley wants to clean them up with his troops. However, the military strength is not enough and the international situation allows. But now Hindenburg wants to cry without tears. After three days of chaos, he can only start to redeploy his troops. After all, the allies have entered Germany 。
A strange battle. Now many people don't know what's going on. A meeting is being held in Washington, "gentlemen, our general Gibson gave us a surprise. He used hundreds of thousands of American soldiers to break the overall situation of the European war. I have to say that he is really a genius," said the president.
The president disagreed with Wesley's command of the expedition this time, but he was under great pressure, because Wesley did not belong to the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. The two parties spared no effort to woo him, but Wesley directly refused on the pretext that he was a soldier. Therefore, this time, Wesley should not be killed, but let him leave the army, Wei Sley didn't know about it.
Pershing is very happy. He is now the acting general and the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Force. He is organizing the second echelon of troops and is responsible for transporting materials to Wesley. "Mr. President, I think it's time to upgrade major general Gibson's rank. This battle is really beautiful."
William Benson also said: "yes, this time he used the Navy and Marine Corps to land behind the third person. Although it was not the first time in the history of war, he undoubtedly used the most beautiful one. He directly attacked back and forth, and successfully broke through the last line of defense when the attack force was weak."
The admiration of the two leaders of the Navy and army made the politicians very uncomfortable. They wanted to pull Wesley out of the army, but it seemed impossible. The young man was really a genius. He was so talented in all aspects. After the truth was dissected, look at his brain.
"Well, I'll agree after receiving the specific report, but is it necessary to send a second echelon of soldiers now? General Gibson did a good job," the president asked.
"Of course, I think we should send the second echelon immediately, so that we can end the European war in the coming year. This possibility is very obvious. At the same time, we should increase material transportation so that he has more cards to play," Pershing said.
William Benson also helped, "yes, there are too few troops in his hands, otherwise the result will be better this time. Although there are still specific war reports, it can be seen that his troops are not enough."
Wesley did not have enough troops. Although he was not afraid of the number of enemies, he obviously felt that he was unable to do what he wanted when he used his troops. Because of the geographical relationship, once his soldiers spread out, they could not afford to bubble, so they could only be used intensively. Now all the five group armies have entered the defense line, and the frontal defense has reached hundreds of kilometers, while only four marine brigades of his headquarters are responsible for protection.
