Qin Zhiyuan sent troops to pursue the fleeing Crown Prince William's regiment, but he himself still sat in Fernanda-denoy, ready to adjust responses at any time according to the situation of the frontline troops.
Well, that's a more polite way of saying it.
In fact, Qin Zhiyuan has dispatched all the troops he has. All he can do now is wait for the outcome of the battle. Even if the first division cannot defeat Crown Prince William's Corps, or even if Chen Kangjian's armored troops are surrounded and annihilated, what Qin Zhiyuan can do
Not much was done.
Fortunately, the Chinese soldiers of the First Division were very upbeat, and most of the news they reported back was good news.
Reports indicate that the 32nd Division has taken in all the prisoners in the German sniper positions. A total of more than 1,400 Germans were killed, and almost the same number of Germans were wounded. About 11,000 Germans surrendered, including 117 officers.
El's voice was high-pitched.
When Qin Zhiyuan chose to pursue the Crown Prince William Corps, Pierre firmly supported Qin Zhiyuan's decision. This would definitely win Pierre a very important bonus point. You must know that Pierre has been carrying the rank of colonel for too long.
Pierre really wanted to change his collar badge from colonel to general.
The power of the tank force can be seen from the German casualty ratio. When facing the tank force, the infantry really does not have much to do. They are either killed or injured in front of the tank. The casualty ratio is almost one to one. If it is
It is difficult to fight in traditional infantry battles.
Congratulations, Qin, I should be sorry for my previous thoughts, which almost caused us to miss this victory. The expression of Armstrong, the chief of staff of the 32nd Division, was not natural.
As a Frenchman, Armstrong chose a conservative stance when Qin Zhiyuan wanted to pursue the Germans. This would to a certain extent become a negative example in the eyes of the military. If Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre had not insisted on pursuing the Germans, the French
I'm really going to miss this win.
You know, the French are really eager for a victory. Even a small victory is worthy of special mention at this critical moment.
Chris, it doesn't have to be like this. Your idea is not wrong, I know you are doing it for Paris. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to be aggressive, the facts have given him the best response.
Hearing what Qin Zhiyuan said, Armstrong's expression became more natural. Of course, Armstrong's face was more happy. As a Frenchman, Armstrong had enough reasons to be happy. This was a great achievement. Being able to participate in it, don't worry.
How great is his contribution? After retiring, Armstrong will have enough capital to brag to his grandson.
Chen Kangjian of the armored force came to report that the armored force had occupied the Tadenuva area at noon. The three regiments deployed by the Germans there were defeated, killing more than 1,200 enemies and capturing 5,800 German soldiers. Pierre
I am still continuing to report.
There are staff members guarding the communications office. As long as a telegram comes, it will be sent to Pierre immediately, and Pierre will report to Qin Zhiyuan. This is Pierre's privilege as the chief of staff of the First Division.
5,800, plus more than 11,000, we have captured 17,000 Germans. This is already a reorganized German division. I think we can report to Paris now. Bastian's blood is flowing. He has never
I have never been so excited as now.
Don't worry, it will happen again. Qin Zhiyuan is not in a hurry.
Although he knew it was unlikely, Qin Zhiyuan still couldn't help but fantasize about capturing Crown Prince William.
Think about it, this is the genuine German Crown Prince. If Crown Prince Wilhelm hands over weapons to Qin Zhiyuan, then that scene will become the biggest news in the world this year. Qin Zhiyuan will definitely let someone take pictures of that scene and keep it forever.
I'm not anxious, I'm very anxious. Qin, you may not understand the urgent mood in my heart. God, I want to announce this news to the whole world. We have captured a German reorganization division, and our own casualties are not even
Bastian kept talking until they reached one-tenth of them. He was using this method to calm down his excitement.
But Bastian was destined to be unable to relax, because as the war progressed, battle reports continued to be compiled, and the number of German prisoners continued to increase.
The armored forces defeated the German 20th Infantry Division that came from the direction of Reims to Tadenois for reinforcements. They killed at least 2,000 Germans and captured more than 13,000 people. The Germans only had their division headquarters and cavalry.
The troops and part of the rear guard escaped, and the rest were captured. Pierre reported again.
marvelous
Pierre was excited.
Long live the armored force
Long live
Armstrong shouted slogans, and the joint command headquarters cheered.
The armored troops were attacked by the Crown Prince Corps. The German offensive was fierce. Some tanks destroyed the German artillery positions. Nearly 40 artillery pieces were destroyed by the attacking tank troops. At the same time, five tanks were destroyed in the battle. So far,
So far, a total of 21 tanks of the armored force have withdrawn from combat due to various reasons. The tanks that have failed are currently being repaired, and it is estimated that some of them can regain their combat effectiveness.
Liu Zizheng's regiment has caught up with the Crown Prince's Corps and has taken in nearly 10,000 prisoners so far. The Germans are not very willing to fight. They seem to have given up. Only a few Germans resisted, and most of the Germans surrendered without resistance.
.
The Grave Regiment broke through the defensive position of a Crown Prince's Guards Division and captured a large number of senior German officers, including General Fritz Rosenberg, Chief of Staff of the Crown Prince's Corps. They are currently searching for the whereabouts of Crown Prince William, but according to Fritz Rosenberg
According to the intelligence provided, Crown Prince William has returned to Reims. This news has not been confirmed, and Xu has sent troops to search the flanks.
As more news came in, the cheers began to gradually decrease, and people's ambitions grew like wild weeds in spring. Everyone was waiting for the news, the news that could shock the whole world.
When Pierre reported to Fritz Rosenberg that Crown Prince William had returned to Reims, obvious disappointment could be seen in the eyes of the French present.
Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care. It's good to catch Crown Prince William, but it's normal if he can't. Crown Prince William is like a Christmas egg to Qin Zhiyuan. It's good to have him, but it won't affect Qin Zhiyuan's achievements if he doesn't.
.
The relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Foch and Lyautey is indeed something that no one can erase.
But today was destined to be a day that gave Bastian a heart attack. Before Bastian could calculate how many German prisoners the First Division had captured, Pierre came to report again: There is news about William, a man who was identified yesterday.
The missing scout team captured William less than two kilometers away from Tadenua
