Chapter 177: If I Had a Few Regiments, Would I Be Like This?

by karlmaks — Morin realized at this moment that although he possessed knowledge beyond his era and the assistance of the system, he still had many shortcomings in actual command experience. And experience, in this regard, could only be gained through fighting more battles; there were no shortcuts. Hearing Morin’s suggestion to equip the alert units with Military Trucks, Kleist’s eyes lit up: “That... that’s an excellent idea! That way, our alert units will be much safer!” “More than just safe.”…

Chapter 176: Cognitive Fixation

by karlmaks — On the eastern edge of the South Charleroi defense line, Morin arrived with Manstein and Kleist. The battle just concluded, though brief, was far more intense than anyone had anticipated. Morin watched the red unit tokens representing the Gallic Cavalry on the system map finally merge into one body and slowly retreat south, which allowed him to finally relax slightly. The 3rd Company Commander Jonas quickly walked over when he saw Morin and Manstein approach. “Battalion Commander!” he greeted,…

Chapter 175: The Probing Ends

by karlmaks — The soldiers of the alert unit leaped up from behind the earthen bank, no longer hesitating in the slightest, turning and sprinting toward the Charleroi urban area. Their faces were covered in gunpowder smoke and dirt. Many had wounds inflicted by sabers still bleeding, and every pair of eyes showed a mixture of fatigue and terror. But even in such a desperate state, this small unit did not lose formation. They did not scatter like headless chickens but subconsciously maintained their combat…

Chapter 174: Formidable Foe

by karlmaks — The forty-meter distance was merely a dozen short seconds for the dismounted Cuirassiers sprinting at full effort. But these dozen seconds felt as long as a century to both the offense and defense. “Open fire! Fire at Will! Kill them all for me!” The Sergeant commanding the exterior alert unit's retreat yelled from behind the earthen bank, firing his weapon while shouting at the soldiers beside him. Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot, fixed intensely on the Gallic officer waving his saber and…

Chapter 173: Cavalry Mobility

by karlmaks — “Machine Gunners! Open fire!” The Sergeant roared hoarsely. Two MG14 Light Machine Guns began to fire almost simultaneously. “Da-da-da-da-da!” Two whips of fire furiously lashed toward the wall of charging cavalry three hundred meters away. A dense spray of bullets rained down. The Sergeant and all the soldiers stared intently forward, anticipating the sight of the enemy being thrown from their horses. However, the scene that unfolded next stunned everyone. The expected sight…

Chapter 172: Cuirassier Charge

by karlmaks — Captain Léo’s order was quickly executed. The Dragoons neatly dismounted, led their beloved horses deep into the woods, and tied them to tree trunks with their reins. These well-trained warhorses were quiet. Although they heard bursts of gunfire, they only occasionally snorted, seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere before a battle. The soldiers quickly spread out along the edge of the woods with their carbines. They used thick tree trunks and naturally formed ditches to rapidly construct a…

Chapter 171: Ludendorff, Where Are My Reinforcements?!

by karlmaks — “What is it, Captain?” Léo’s Aide-de-Camp, a young Lieutenant, rode closer. “Nothing.” Léo shook his head, forcing himself to refocus on the mission ahead. According to the orders of Colonel Molière, Commander of the 4th Cuirassier Regiment, the maneuver along the Sambre River from the southeast of the city was a classic cavalry tactic, using mobility to bypass the enemy’s front and attack or reconnoiter from a weak flank/rear. But for some reason, Léo felt this decision was…

Chapter 170: Combat Reconnaissance

by karlmaks — Just as the three commanders were at a loss over the silent city, an Outrider responsible for the perimeter vigilance quietly crept back. “Captain!” the Outrider reported to Léo, “We found quite a few residents who had fled Charleroi on the small road to the east. It looks like they are seeking refuge with relatives in the countryside.” “Did you find out anything?” Léo’s spirits lifted. “We asked.” The Outrider’s expression became a bit strange. “But... what they said was…

Chapter 169: The Gallic Cavalry

by karlmaks — When the Third, Fifth, and Eighteenth Corps subordinate to the Gallic Fifth Army Group began their advance toward the border, General Charles Lanrezac, the commander, was still pacing back and forth in his headquarters, the feeling of unease in his heart not diminishing in the slightest. The descriptions of the Flanders Dispatch Riders who fled back from Charleroi echoed repeatedly in his mind. “The enemy might have over ten Heavy Machine Guns...” Such a description was like a thorn, deeply…

Chapter 168: Plan XVII

by karlmaks — Because of the vehicle transport, the soldiers of the 1st Company and 3rd Company covered the three-kilometer distance to the North City almost in the blink of an eye. When the trucks stopped at the edge of the North City, Klaus and the 3rd Company Commander led their respective troops running into the urban area, and the few soldiers responsible for receiving them at the intersection let out a collective sigh of relief almost simultaneously. “Sergeant Major Klaus! You’re finally here!” One…
