Chapter 235: Only the Last Link is Missing

by karlmaks — At the edge of South Amiens, a relatively intact municipal building was temporarily requisitioned as the joint command post. Mackensen, Ludendorff, and the Generals of various Corps and the Assault Battle Group gathered together. On the huge map temporarily hung on the wall, the blue arrows representing the Saxon Army had completely clamped down on the red markers representing the Britannian forces. “Generals, the Battle of Amiens appears largely decided!” a staff officer reported with high spirits:…

Chapter 246: Early Combined Arms

by karlmaks — “Correct, but wouldn’t that lead to heavy casualties? The enemy Machine Gunners aren’t fools; won’t they shift positions? Isn’t it also dangerous for our Machine Gunners to be exposed outside?” Morin countered. Everyone nodded. This was indeed the most common scenario in urban attack and defense, and it was where the heaviest casualties occurred. “But what if we had Smoke Grenades?” Morin continued without delay. “Before the attack begins, we first have the Mortar Launchers fire a…

Chapter 225: Crossing the Somme River

by karlmaks — The entire assault unit, in a devastating surge, swiftly crossed the several-hundred-meter-long railway bridge. After clearing the remaining enemies near the South Bank bridgehead, they finally met triumphantly with Morin, who had been waiting there. “Morin! Are you alright, you rascal!” Ludwig brought his Armored Knight to a halt, his voice booming through the loudspeaker. “Still alive!” Morin wiped the soot from his face and grinned. “I was just nearly roasted by a Fireball…

Chapter 257: Aerial Reconnaissance

by karlmaks — The assault unit Erik was assigned to was trained by a Sergeant from the Instruction Assault Battalion. The Sergeant appeared young, but his eyes were exceptionally steady. The specific aura of lethality and competence unique to elite forces was something Erik had never seen on the seasoned veterans of the 42nd Infantry Regiment. The training took place in a relatively flat area in the rear with few shell craters. Erik had initially expected this short 48-hour training to impart some of the…

Chapter 236: Triumphant News Pours In

by karlmaks — While Morin was recovering in the Field Hospital, the sound of gunfire in Amiens City gradually thinned out. The main force of the Britannian Expeditionary Force had broken out to the south, but they retreated in such haste that they could not take everyone with them. When General Mackensen, leading the First Army Group main force, pressed in from the west and completely sealed the final gap, approximately three thousand Britannian soldiers were firmly trapped in the city, which now offered them nothing…

Chapter 247: Trap

by karlmaks — September 1st. Exactly one month after the war began, the massive army of the Saxon Empire stood at the gates of Gallic Republic’s capital, Paris. Under the operation of the vast War Machine, countless soldiers, artillery, and vehicles were continuously mobilized from Amiens and even within the Saxon Empire, moving southwest. Amidst the surging torrent heading toward the outer defense lines of Paris, a distinct unit drew considerable attention. Their vehicles were painted with the conspicuous Imperial…

Chapter 226: A Seventh-Circle Not to Be Underestimated

by karlmaks — Ludwig controlled his machine, forcibly reigning in his momentum at the last moment. He slammed his shield forward, parrying the opponent’s battleaxe. The tremendous force momentarily unbalanced the enemy Armored Knight. Now was the time! Ludwig seized the fleeting opportunity. The Armor-Piercing Lance in his hand cut a strange arc, bypassing the enemy’s shield and smashing violently into the forward armor of the Armored Knight! “Boom!” A fierce flash of fire suddenly erupted where the…

Chapter 258: The Final Offensive (Combined Chapter)

by karlmaks — On the ground, Morin retracted his gaze. He had witnessed the brief aerial encounter just now. While he found the use of pistols and rifles for aerial combat to be overly primitive, a question was forming in his mind. What if the aviation industry in this world were to develop, and aircraft performance were to continuously improve, quickly reaching the level of the 'Doomsday Pistons' of the other world? Would those faster, more flexible fighter aircraft then be able to wrest a degree of control…

Chapter 237: Equipment Request Report

by karlmaks — One piece of good news, one piece of bad news. One was heaven, the other was hell. Joffre and his Generals were caught in an unprecedented dilemma. Abandoning the favorable situation in the South and withdrawing the main forces to defend Paris? That meant all their previous efforts and sacrifices would be in vain. For Joffre, who had always believed that ‘offense is the best defense,’ this was unacceptable. But ignoring Paris could lead to disaster. “We cannot withdraw! Absolutely not from…

Chapter 248: Ranger VS Teutonic Knights

by karlmaks — The Saxon Major soon led the unit to advance in the direction the farmer indicated. The three infantry companies, led by their respective officers, swiftly dispersed from their dense marching column into loose search formations and began moving toward the small copse of trees. Out of caution, the Major kept the fourth company as a reserve and positioned his battalion command group toward the rear of the center, right next to the three towering ‘Siegfried I’ Armored Knights. The presence of these steel…
