The end of the airship force took place in full view. Hundreds of thousands of people saw it with their own eyes, and the news naturally passed quickly.

In fact, there is no need to pass. Admiral Udino’s headquarters is not far from the front line. There are shelters on the ground, which are not visible at the headquarters, but the air combat in the sky can be witnessed.

I personally witnessed the end of the airship, and General Udino lost his spirit.

In order to build this airship force, the French military has paid a lot of money, and nearly one-tenth of the army's military expenditure is spent on it.

Now just performing a meteor shower in front of hundreds of thousands of people, the curtain call was gorgeous. Admiral Udino simply did not know how to explain to the country.

Of course, the loss here is not all the airship troops of the French army, but the result of the air battle has proved to the world that the sky does not belong to the airship.

"General, it's meal time."

The guard's voice sounded, pulling Udino back into reality from his confusion.

"No, I am not hungry now."

"Submit the order and hold a military meeting tonight. In addition to leaving the necessary staff on duty, officers from the rank of colonel or above must attend."

The airship force is over, but the war will continue. From now on, the sky will no longer belong to France, and Udino knows very well what it means.

Not to mention the strategic bombing, even the basic information of the enemy’s investigation cannot be achieved. From now on, the French army will only be bombed.

...

The weather gradually dimmed, the afterglow of the setting sun spread to the ground, reflecting the broken arms and limbs on the ground, the horror movie studio.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the French camp was very strange, the trumpet of the troop had been sounded, but few soldiers returned.

Such tragic fighting in the past is not unprecedented. But according to the convention, this time should be the climax of the resurrection of corpses, but today is an exception, and there are few soldiers climbing from the ground.

Colonel Fuxi, who had just taken over as the head of the ninth division, already had a bad hunch in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Shout to the Austrian on the opposite side, we will send someone to collect the body.

By the way, send someone to tell you who are angry, and don’t need to come back if you don’t come back. The war team gave me a record, and then I have to practice these guys well. "

Realizing the problem, Fuxi couldn't imagine that those guys were all dead. After all, conviction is very important, and after seeing the act of pretending to be dead, the top ranks of the French army are no longer sensitive to the number of casualties.

You should know that the officers and soldiers of the ninth division now returning to the camp are only half of the total strength.

During the offensive, half of the troops were knocked out in one day. If this kind of thing really happened, his newly-appointed division commander would be over.

Fuxi was only a slap in his hands. After all, the ninth division was unfavorable in recent years, and the division was killed before the battle started.

It was said that the attack was launched under the cover of the airship force. As a result, everyone saw the French troop troop on the street. The shielding role did not play, but the bombing was not lacking.

After all, it was only the French airships, the coalition airships and naval artillery that could still perform normally. This kind of mental drop was still very shocking.

"Yes, Colonel!"

After that, the herald soldier hurried out.

Collecting corpses on the battlefield is also a tradition in Europe. No matter how hard it is to beat you to death during the day, when the corpse is collected, no one will stop it.

After all, there are many corpses on the battlefield, and it is easy to cause a plague if you do not handle it as soon as possible. This is what neither party wants to see.

Sometimes, the corpses of the two belligerent countries met and greeted each other, but each took away the remains of their killed officers and soldiers.

Today is a typical offensive and defensive battle. Most of the Austrian army is staying in the trenches. For the first time, they encountered a machine gun fire net. The French army did not know how to deal with it, but just blindly rushed forward. The result is naturally tragic.

The end result was that French corpses ran across the field, and few Austrian soldiers died.

Even if it was killed in battle, it was also killed on its own position, which has already been dealt with. So now the only action is the French corpse collection team.

Not long after the corpse collection operation began, a young officer ran over: "Colonel, something serious happened."

Colonel Fuxi frowned, and said very uncomfortably: "What's the fuss, could it be that the frontline soldiers changed?"

The sound of artillery has stopped, it is certainly impossible for the Austrian army to launch a counterattack, then the biggest thing is the soldiers mutiny.

This is nothing new, that is, the French-dominated forces such as the ninth division rarely occur.

If it rests on the Italian division, any chance of letting them undertake such a heavy casualty of the main attack task has a 90% chance of being over 90%.

The emotional instability of Italian soldiers is also an important factor restricting the combat effectiveness of the French army. If there is no such lagging behind, the Luxembourg line of defense has long been torn apart.

This problem has long been recognized by people of insight in the French army. It is a pity there is no way. France has limited human resources and has to recruit Italian soldiers.

"Colonel, go and see for yourself! I can guarantee that the situation is a hundred times and a thousand times worse than this..."

Obviously, the young military officer realized that the news he had brought was so amazing that it was hard to believe that he simply asked Colonel Fuxi to watch it for himself.

"Humph!"

After expressing strong dissatisfaction, Colonel Fuxi walked out of the headquarters.

At this point in time, it is already time for the corpse collection team and religious people, and the safety is still guaranteed.

Visiting the front line, looking at the floating corpses, and occasionally hearing the wailing of the wounded, Fuxi was ashamed.

They are all dead, even if they are not dead, they are dying now.

Due to the medical conditions of this year, he was injured for several hours on the battlefield without any treatment, and the possibility of being able to be rescued is close to zero.

With the medical staff of the ninth division, only the lightly wounded people who had been pulled out in front were bandaged, and no one could care for these guys behind.

After glancing at the audience, Fuxi returned to the headquarters without a soul. The problem was indeed a thousand times more serious than the mutiny, and the entire ninth division was abolished.

Seeing such a cruel scene, the surviving officers and soldiers were all gone.

If the enemy launches an attack now, perhaps only a simple charge is needed, and the ninth division will collapse.

After a moment of silence, Colonel Fuxi, who calmed down, sighed and said helplessly, "All the officers will not have to sleep tonight, and all of them will give me the troops to appease the troops and guard against the camp whistle."

Needless to know, the camp of the Ninth Division is destined to be calm tonight.

If there is no accident, this elite French army will not be able to enter the battlefield again for a long time in the future.

...

Time passed by one minute and one second, and soon the casualty report came out. In fact, the statistics are simple. Colonel Fuxi just asked the living people in the camp.

Whether it was killed, missing, or captured, the rest were counted as dead.

There is no way, there are too many officers and soldiers killed in battle, and many people are separated. In a short period of time, it was impossible to piece together, let alone identify the deceased.

In order to allow the soldiers killed in battle to receive government pensions, Colonel Fuxi can only be bureaucratic once.

Looking at the number of shocking casualties, Fuxi couldn't believe his eyes, so he was still stunned because he was prepared for it.

The ninth division alone created a record of 4,367 injuries and 3,816 deaths during the day’s attack.

Yes, this is the highest casualty record in a single day of the French army since the war.

Behind the tragic casualties of his own side, few results have been achieved. Even the enemy’s position was not touched, and the ninth division was reimbursed for most of it. Colonel Fuxi had no idea how to describe the fighting during the day.

Just when Colonel Fuxi had a headache about how to explain to his head, the reputation of the guard rang again: "Colonel, there is an order from above, asking you to attend the military meeting at night."

Colonel Fuxi replied indifferently: "Got it, I will pass immediately! The order will continue, and the sentry on duty will be doubled tonight to prevent enemy attacks."

...

Admiral Udino’s headquarters is not far from the ninth division station, just a few kilometers away, and it takes twenty or thirty minutes to ride a horse back and forth, which can be said to be quite convenient.

But at the moment Colonel Fuxi hopes that the journey will be longer so that he can face it later.

It is not just Colonel Fuxi who is also distressed. The same tragedy has occurred in all the troops that participated in the attack today.

When small tragedies come together, it is a big tragedy. Admiral Udino, who was still in tears for the airship force, was stunned by the figures in front of him.

"Guys, is it April Fool's Day today? This joke is not funny at all."

"Tell me, this is not true!"

...

After repeatedly confirming the positive answer, Admiral Udino, who was full of blood, fainted directly.

After a rush of troops, they were finally rescued. But for Udino personally, perhaps never waking up is the best ending.

The reality is too cruel. This fierce battle on the Rhine is a replica of the original Som and Battle of Time and Space, while the French army played the role of the British army.

Starting today, Udino will leave a strong pen and ink in the war of mankind, and he will be indispensable in the military textbooks of all countries in the future.

Especially his command of "attack at all costs" put him on the pillar of historical shame.

Butcher, executioner, idiot, idiot... all kinds of dirty words will be pressed on his head by future generations.

The sober Udino said bitterly: "Everyone will do it. Today's battle is my personal command error. It has nothing to do with you. I will take responsibility.

The rest of the battle came to everyone's attention. The front-line commanders all returned to the troops to strengthen their security and guard against enemy attacks coming tonight.

Filip, you are responsible for sorting out the situation here and reporting to the Marshal and the domestic respectively. Tell them that I failed the empire..."

Today’s blow to Admiral Udino is really too great, and now there is only a “self-blame” full of blame.

Of course, at this time, General Udino will blame no matter how to shirk his responsibility.

After this battle, the invincible momentum that the French army finally accumulated was wiped out. Wanting quick battles and quick decisions to tear the Rhine defense line in a short time has become a dream.
