Chapter 166: Seizing Charleroi by Storm

by karlmaks — Morin already felt things were turning bad when he heard the distinct sound of automatic weapons firing in the gunfire. And the red unit tokens constantly refreshing on the system map confirmed his intuition. The unit serving as the forward security detachment was the 1st Company's 1st Platoon, who had engaged the enemy at the northern bridgehead of a bridge by the river. Judging by the unit designation displayed on the enemy token——they were indeed the garrison troops who had broken out from…

Chapter 165: Assault Battalion, Advance!

by karlmaks — Although he felt uncertain about this first Motorized March, and the sun was only two hours from setting... But urged by Ludendorff’s phrase, “speed is key in war,” Morin still issued the command for the entire battalion to board the vehicles and depart once all preparations were complete. He himself sat in the passenger seat of a truck positioned in the middle, looking at the friendly units lining the road to send them off, and couldn't help but lean half his body out the window and shout at the…

Chapter 164: The Crown Prince: Where’s My Assault Battalion Piece?

by karlmaks — Just as Morin was commanding the Instruction Assault Battalion to prepare for what might be the first truly ‘Motorized March’ in this world. Far away in the Saxon Empire homeland, Moltke the Younger, who had moved the General Staff forward headquarters to Koblenz, was receiving the latest military intelligence from the various Army Groups on the Western Front. In the Operations Room, Moltke the Younger stood before a massive map of the Western Front, holding a long pointer, listening to the…

Chapter 163: Mobile Assault

by karlmaks — Morin's gaze followed Ludendorff’s finger and landed on the name ‘Charleroi.’ He knew that this was an important border city in the Grand Duchy of Flanders and a crucial transportation hub connecting to the Gallic Republic. If this city and a few other key border cities were occupied, the right-wing group of the Saxon Empire could complete its deployment and strike straight for Paris... “I expect your Instruction Assault Battalion, as the assault vanguard for the entire Battle Group, to…

Chapter 162: Not a Toy

by karlmaks — After a night of pursuit and advance, by the early morning of August 6th, as the first ray of sunshine illuminated the ancient city, the Meuse River Battle Group had largely gained complete control of Liège City. Resistance within the city had mostly subsided, with only scattered gunshots still echoing in the corners of the city. The majority of the Flanders garrison, caught in that unprecedented great chaos, chose to break out toward the northwest, following the ‘instructions’ sent in Morin’s…

Chapter 161: The Birth of an Actor

by karlmaks — The fighting ended quickly. When Klaus and his men charged forward, the surviving Flanders soldiers offered almost no decent resistance and were quickly all killed by dense submachine gun fire. The smoke dissipated, leaving behind only a mess and bodies strewn across the street. 1st Platoon Leader Kahn walked up to Klaus. Even at night in August, Liège was not cool. He wiped the sweat from his face and asked: “Sergeant Major Klaus, what do we do next? In which direction should we attack to…

Chapter 160: All-Out Offensive

by karlmaks — As the Meuse River Battle Group began its all-out offensive, Barchon, Évregnies, Fléron—fortress after fortress, once believed to require heavy artillery to breach, were effortlessly occupied by Saxon soldiers. When the officers of the follow-up troops walked into the interior of these deserted forts, they were invariably shocked by the sight before them. The facilities inside the forts were intact. Warehouses were stacked with ammunition and supplies, and uneaten dinners were even still sitting…

Chapter 159: The Emperor’s Blade

by karlmaks — Meanwhile, on the perimeter of the Liège Fortress cluster. Ludendorff, who was personally taking command in the staging area where the Instruction Assault Battalion was waiting to attack, also felt the fierce tremor coming from the ground. The staff officers around him all showed surprised expressions. “Was that an earthquake?” “Doesn't seem like it. That tremor... feels like it came from the center of Liège City.” Ludendorff did not speak. He simply pulled out his pocket watch and…

Chapter 158: Speedrunning the Liège Fortress

by karlmaks — The Magic Power Hub is a solid, half-buried underground structure located near the main building. This is the source of all the Magic Guided Device energy for the entire Liège Fortress cluster. Even the Magic Crystal Cannons in the various forts require the Magic Power Hub to recharge their replaced Magic Crystals. Therefore, once it is destroyed, the Large Anti-Air Magic Guided Device that threatens the Armored Airships, as well as the Magic Crystal Cannons in the various forts, will become scrap…

Chapter 155: I’m Striking the Friendly Forces

by karlmaks — ‘Here it comes. It seems this officer won't be easily fooled.’ This thought flashed through Morin’s mind. However, he was prepared and answered without changing his expression: “24th Regiment, Sir... We just withdrew from the front line during the day and were sent to perform this mission before we even had a chance to catch our breath.” This unit number was the unit number of the owner of the captured uniform. Morin even had an ID card with a replaced photo in his pocket. However, Morin…
