Just as the battle between the armored forces and the 20th Infantry Division began, fighting also began on the side facing Ferenta de Noir.
The Germans, who had just struggled out of the mud, were suddenly plunged into another struggle.
But compared to the fight with heaven and earth just now, this time it was a fight with people.
Maybe Germans can't get happiness from it, but in Chen Kangjian's opinion, it is undoubtedly happiness.
In Chen Kangjian's view, the more Germans the better. These Germans, who looked like ghosts demanding their lives when facing the French, were like moving military medals to Chen Kangjian's armored forces.
Don't refuse anyone who comes.
Chen Kangjian is indeed not afraid of dying. Even if he is attacked by the Germans from both sides, Chen Kangjian dares to divide his troops, and it is quite balanced. He is really impartial.
At this time, the battle situation in Tadenuva was really complicated.
Chen Kangjian's armored force was attacked from two sides by the Germans, and Crown Prince Wilhelm's Corps, which was attacking Chen Kangjian's armored force on the side of Ferenta de Noir, was also attacked from two sides.
Liu Zizheng's regiment and Ge Lifu's regiment finally caught up.
When it comes to rolling around in mud, the Germans are actually far less skilled than the Chinese. Since European countries entered the Industrial Revolution, they have transformed domestic infrastructure such as bridges and roads. To be honest, Europeans have little chance of rolling around in mud.
Not much.
For the Chinese whose national infrastructure is relatively backward, wallowing in the mud is a common occurrence, so it can be said to be easier to deal with than the Germans.
Chinese farmers have an artifact called stilts. It is said that when this thing was first created, it was used to pick wild fruits, but it was equally effective in dealing with muddy fields, and it became a sharp weapon used by the Chinese to chase the Germans.
Of course, the soldiers of Liu Zizheng's regiment and Greif's regiment used not the original stilts, but a shorter and more stable wooden tool. Greif called this a clay machine, which was specially used by farmers in Greif's hometown.
A tool for walking in mud.
The clay machine is made of wood. There is a board on top, which is about the same size as a foot. There are two vertical wooden bars under the board, and two horizontal wooden bars connected to it. It is small and exquisite, in fact, it is like a small bench. Such a small gadget must be put on first.
Good military boots, and then put one on each foot and tie them tightly with ropes. When you stand up, you will immediately become taller. When you walk, because the stride length becomes larger, you feel that you are walking faster than usual in the mud.
Who makes the country too poor to build roads? Farmers have to use a variety of small tools in their daily lives to increase the convenience of life. Of course, such small things also have shortcomings. When wearing this thing, the center of gravity will be unstable.
Because of this, the soldiers of the armored forces cannot use it when lifting the tank out of the mud pit, but it is most suitable for the lightly-armed infantry to use on the road.
It was such a small thing that even Qin Zhiyuan, a time-traveler, could not imagine, allowed the Chinese soldiers to catch up with Crown Prince William's Corps, which had set off for several hours early, at an alarming speed. Many soldiers did not even get their shoes wet.
Compared with the exhausted soldiers of Crown Prince William's Corps who were covered in mud, this was simply a miracle.
So when the exhausted soldiers of Crown Prince William's Corps, who were covered in mud and mud, stood in front of the Chinese soldiers who were neatly dressed and didn't even have a speck of mud, they looked particularly embarrassed. The pride that the foreigners had accumulated in the Chinese for decades disappeared silently.
The Chinese soldiers, whose national self-confidence is gradually recovering, are particularly proud.
Whether it's psychologically or figuratively.
To be honest, the battle was not very fierce. The exhausted Germans who were struggling in the mud did not have much strength in their bodies. The battle between the 1st Division and Crown Prince Wilhelm's Corps was not so much a battle as a surrender operation. Many Germans
The whole regiment and the entire battalion surrendered helplessly, without much pointless resistance.
Ordinary soldiers can surrender, but Crown Prince William cannot.
Crown Prince Wilhelm is a member of the German royal family, and he is also a very important member of the royal family. As the eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II, if Crown Prince Wilhelm is captured by the Chinese on the battlefield, it will be big news, and it will be a big news that can shock the whole world.
news.
So after receiving the news that the rearguard could no longer withstand the infantry attack of the 1st Division, and that the way forward was blocked by the armored troops of the 1st Division, Crown Prince Wilhelm's Chief of Staff Fritz Rosenberg put forward his own suggestions to the Crown Prince.
I can't do such a dishonorable thing if I don't put on makeup and run away. Crown Prince William refused with a serious face.
If, Your Highness, you were captured on the battlefield, it would be the greatest dishonor for the German Empire, Rosenberg insisted.
However, what should you do with the soldiers? Even at the last moment, Crown Prince William was still worried about his troops.
This is not important. The soldiers are not important, and neither am I. Compared with you, Your Highness, we can all be abandoned at any time. Rosenberg understands the importance.
Since the war started, Germany has paid the price of millions of soldiers casualties, and Rosenberg has long been used to it. From the first day he joined the army, Rosenberg knew that such a day would come to him, and he did not resist becoming a prisoner.
, for Rosenberg, this is just another life experience.
Well, please take care of yourself. Crown Prince William agreed to escape in disguise. He has never been a stubborn person.
Soon, with the help of the attendants, Crown Prince William changed out of his lieutenant colonel's military uniform and put on an ordinary soldier's uniform. Under the protection of several personal guards, he left the place where he was still struggling in the mud to form a defensive formation.
The Royal Guards of the Crown Prince walked towards the hills filled with mist.
Since he is escaping in disguise, it is impossible to bring too many bodyguards with him. A large number of people will not only expose his whereabouts, but also conceal the truth. Therefore, there are only four or five people around Crown Prince William at this time, and a small and capable team can be used.
Escape more confidently.
Rosenberg, who stayed in place, would organize defenses as much as possible. On the one hand, he wanted to buy more time for Crown Prince William to escape, and on the other hand, he also tried his best to show the bravery of the Germans.
Even when he was exhausted, Rosenberg wanted to show the brave side of the German people.
Let’s not talk about the German soldiers who were arranging with difficulty, but let’s talk about Crown Prince Wilhelm who had left the large army and fled.
To be honest, the life of the 35-year-old Crown Prince William has never been as embarrassing as this moment.
At this time, Crown Prince William's heart was full of frustration, pessimism and disappointment. He could neither see the future of Germany nor the path under his feet. The road to escape seemed to be endless. Crown Prince William was heartbroken.
If it weren't for the guards around him, I'm afraid Crown Prince William would have committed suicide now. He really couldn't accept that he was in such a predicament.
Gunshots were heard in the distance. It was the soldiers of the First Division who were exchanging fire with Crown Prince William's guards. The fierce gunfire was as noisy and messy as the drizzle in the sky, just like Crown Prince William's heart, and more like William.
The mud spots on the crown prince's body.
Qin, I will be back. Crown Prince William looked back at the place where the gunshots were fired. Although he could see nothing but rain and fog, Crown Prince William secretly swore in his heart that when he came back, he would give Qin Zhiyuan a surprise.
Not allowed to move, he raised his hand and an accented French voice spoke. Crown Prince William stiffened and felt like a thunder exploded in his ears.
Just ten seconds ago, Crown Prince William was thinking of giving Qin Zhiyuan a surprise. Unexpectedly, just ten seconds later, Qin Zhiyuan's troops gave Crown Prince William a big surprise.
