The Germans did not anticipate that there was an enemy ambush hidden between the first and second lines of defense.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, in just 20 minutes, more than 300 Germans were killed, and the remaining Germans crawled back to the second line of defense.
The commander inside had been killed, and no one could say clearly what happened. They only knew that the first line of defense had fallen into the hands of the French.
When the German reinforcements set off, the French had already entered the tunnel. Even if the Germans had resistance at that time, they should have been completely wiped out by now.
Just as the German commander of the second line of defense was reporting to Heimer, gunfire started again.
A remaining German force dragged and carried wounded soldiers, fighting and retreating towards the second line of defense.
This German group had obviously gone through a brutal and bloody battle. There were only forty or fifty of them, and most of them had bandages on their bodies. It looked like they had all been injured in the battle.
There may be Frenchmen chasing behind them. This troop moved forward hard while looking back and shooting. From time to time, some people were hit and fell to the ground.
Whenever the people at the back are knocked down, the soldiers at the end will definitely defend themselves on the spot. They rely on grenades and rifles to tenaciously snipe the chasing enemies.
Even in such a difficult situation, they did not abandon their more seriously injured brother, either carrying him, supporting him, carrying him, or kneeling on the ground and dragging him back bit by bit.
Quick, help them.
Someone shouted, and the frightened Germans plucked up their courage and swarmed out to meet the retreating troops.
Yes, General, someone on the first line of defense has withdrawn. I will ask about the details immediately and report to you. The commander is on the phone with Heimer.
Okay, you go and find out what happened there and report to me. In addition, organize a defense immediately. We must withstand the French attack. I don't want to hear about you losing your position. Do you understand what I mean?
I was woken up from a dream and felt very angry when I got up.
Yes, General, I understand. A firm voice came from the other end of the phone, and Heimer nodded with satisfaction.
Before the voice fell, there was a sudden burst of noisy footsteps, and then a strange voice came through the receiver: Don't make unnecessary resistance, you are being held captive. If you put down your weapon, we promise that you will be treated in a manner consistent with your status.
treatment.
Son of a bitch Heimer suddenly exploded and took the phone with both hands and smashed it against the wall.
Damn French guys, you all should go to hell, you stupid pigs, dirty bastards. Heimer was still angry, and he kept pouring out dirty words. He completely lost his military demeanor and his general demeanor.
No existence.
While Heimer was venting his anger, the attendant walked to the door softly and reported: General, the ferry is ready. Major Baker asks you to board the ship immediately. It is very dangerous here.
Bias is less than two kilometers away from the second line of defense. Even if the French ground troops do not attack, their artillery can directly hit here.
Beas is no longer safe.
retreat
This thought was like a hyena, biting Heimer's heart crazily. The heart that was once filled with honor was now riddled with holes.
Heimer said nothing and walked directly to the hall door.
Before leaving the house, the attendant picked up Heimel's coat and helped Heimel put it on.
Heimer did not speak or move. He stood in front of the hall door, looking in the direction of the second line of defense, and remained silent for a long time.
Heimer knew very well that if he retreated this time, he might never have a chance to fight back.
Next time you come to Bias, you may be a conqueror, or more likely, you will be a prisoner or a war criminal.
Congratulations, Qin. The news of breaking through two German defense lines was quickly passed to the Wolf's Lair. Hunterl reached out to Qin Zhiyuan and congratulated Qin Zhiyuan's troops on their victory.
We should be congratulated, Hunter, the victory belongs to everyone. Although it is not a decisive victory for the Battle of the Somme, for the Sixth Regiment, this is a decisive victory.
Through this battle, the Sixth Regiment has proven its strength, so it is logical for the Sixth Regiment to be upgraded to the First Brigade. All the previous obstacles have been removed, and now only Foch's approval remains.
Yes, it belongs to everyone. Then, I propose that we should have a drink with Miss Charles. Pierre is in a very high mood. Strictly speaking, this is also the first time he has participated in a command battle. This victory also belongs to him. He has
Reasons to be happy.
A simple proposal to have a drink turned into a celebration involving dozens of people, mostly French and domestic staff members.
Qin Zhiyuan did not participate. He came to the wounded barracks to visit the soldiers who were injured in the battle.
Mr. Qin, we didn’t embarrass our ancestors, did we?
Master Qin, how did we perform this time?
Lord Qin
The wounded soldiers were in a good mood. When they saw Qin Zhiyuan, everyone rushed to say hello.
The Sixth Regiment's pension is very generous. Soldiers who died in battle can each receive nearly 7,000 francs. Injured soldiers can also receive corresponding allowances depending on the severity of their injuries. This allowance is generally about five times the salary.
.If the limb is disabled, the pension will be higher.
Brothers, you played well. I have sent a telegram to the legion headquarters to ask for credit for everyone. Please rest assured, brothers, if you have merit, you will definitely be rewarded by Qin Zhiyuan.
The Sixth Regiment broke through two German defense lines and seized supplies. Although the specific figures have not yet been calculated, the results of the battle have already come out.
The Sixth Regiment had a total of 3,700 troops participating in the battle. In addition to Zheng Dali's artillery, 2,200 infantry troops participated in the battle, killing 815 Germans and capturing 1,750 Germans. Their own casualties were only 8 killed and 32 wounded.
Lord Qin is righteous
Lord Qin is wise
Long live Lord Qin
There was another burst of overwhelming cheers.
Both of them were seriously injured and needed amputation. One had his arm injured and the other injured his leg. Mao Shiba introduced them as he walked.
At the far end of the temporary ward, two unfortunate men were lying on stretchers.
How do you feel? Qin Zhiyuan sat on the chair next to the stretcher affectionately and whispered softly.
Fortunately, Mr. Qin. The smile on the wounded soldier's face is far-fetched.
The two men were not in high spirits. Although they could receive thousands of francs in compensation, they could only live with prosthetic limbs for the rest of their lives.
Mr. Qin, do we have no choice but to go home? A wounded soldier had a look of reluctance on his face.
No, as long as you are willing, you can serve in the logistics department. As long as our team is still there, we will never abandon you. Qin Zhiyuan is determined.
Really, really, the wounded soldier's eyes were full of hope, brighter than the lightbulbs on the ceiling.
Qin Zhiyuan has the confidence to really leave behind two physically disabled veterans.
The results of the Sixth Regiment were brilliant. Both the speed of advancement and the ratio of casualties between the enemy and the Allies were the best results achieved by the Allies since the Somme War. After this battle, the Sixth Regiment became famous in one battle, and both the Allies and the Allies knew it.
There is a Chinese army in the Somme area.
On the Allied side, Qin Zhiyuan's troops were famous for their cunning and cunning. On the Allied side, Qin Zhiyuan's troops were famous for their strong combat effectiveness.
