Chapter 212: The Somme River Flows the Wrong Way

by karlmaks — Two kilometers north of Amiens, in Coisy Village. The residents of the village had been living in fear since yesterday. First, large numbers of Britannian Allied troops passed through the village from north to south, heading toward Amiens. They looked like they had suffered a defeat, covered in dust and low on morale. Immediately following, news spread like wildfire through the village that the Saxons were about to attack. Since eighty percent of the able-bodied men in the village had already been…

Chapter 211: The Tachanka’s Glory

by karlmaks — The soldiers of the 1st Company watched the enemy flee in disarray, but did not cheer. Instead, they silently raised their weapons and continued to charge. The drivers and Machine Gunners of the four Tachankas were flushed with excitement. Before this, who would have thought that their Heavy Machine Gun squad could also participate in a ‘Grand Assault’ with the infantry? “Don't celebrate too early!” Morin was also pleased, but he remained calm. “Don’t let them escape! Keep the pressure on…

Chapter 210: Saxon-Style Tachanka

by karlmaks — After the Instruction Assault Battalion tore open the breach, the main force infantry of the ‘Assault Battle Group’ continuously poured through the gap. Once the follow-up infantry completely stabilized the line, Morin did not hesitate. He led the newly regrouped 1st Company to continue the forward assault. He sent out several Dispatch Riders: some to notify the other three companies to converge on the 1st Company’s position, and others to inform the allied forces to keep pace and provide cover.…

Chapter 209: The Assault Battalion’s Comfort Zone

by karlmaks — Morin’s current affiliation was unique. He belonged to the Second Army Group’s order of battle, yet he was also participating in the temporary Battle Group’s coordinated offensive with the First Army Group. Therefore, at least for now, both the First Army Group and the Second Army Group were his operational allies. Perhaps it was because they became allies launching a joint campaign, but the unit tokens of the First Army Group, which had stopped updating for a period, finally showed changes on the…

Chapter 208: Target Amiens

by karlmaks — At Arras city, Holy Britannian Empire Expeditionary Force General Headquarters. John French, the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, had already sensed trouble when he received news in the morning of ‘large-scale Saxon troop activity in the southeast.’ He had always considered the junction between the Expeditionary Force’s southeast flank and the Gallic Fifth Army Group to be a huge hole in the defense. This roughly 20-kilometer gap was, theoretically, just wide enough for the Saxon…

Chapter 207: Armored Knight’s Toy

by karlmaks — The legends, a mix of truth and exaggeration, that circulated from the Second Army Group, spread rapidly among the soldiers and junior officers of the various Army Groups. This also gave the title ‘Butcher of Charleroi’ a thick layer of mystery—many wanted to know whether ‘Butcher’ referred to Morin’s unit’s combat prowess or his large appetite. Now, this figure of ‘battlefield legend’ stood alive before them. It was only natural that they were somewhat excited. Even Ludwig couldn't…

Chapter 206: A Familiar Face

by karlmaks — Morin looked at the unit operating like a precision machine and couldn't help but nod. See, this is what an elite force looks like. Just then, he remembered the three letters he hadn't yet mailed. Morin found the Sergeant in charge of camp duty and asked about the status of the entire battalion’s mail. “Reporting, Battalion Commander, the last batch of letters collected from the entire battalion has been packed and is ready to be sent to the Army Group’s Field Post Office.” “Wait a…

Chapter 205: New Orders

by karlmaks — “Let’s go, Captain Morin. The General is waiting for you.” Seeing Morin frozen in place, the Major officer urged him again. “Yes, Captain,” Morin recovered, shoved the three letters into his inner pocket, and followed the officer to board the Staff Car. The small car sped north, quickly arriving back at the Second Army Group’s temporary headquarters. Walking into the familiar yet somewhat detested command tent, Morin immediately saw General von Bulow standing around the map. Seeing…

Chapter 204: Meeting You Through the Words

by karlmaks — Morin thought of writing to Cecilia because he saw some Instruction Assault Battalion soldiers writing letters home during the rare break time earlier in the day. For Morin, this was a curious experience. After all, before he crossed over, he was used to contacting distant relatives via phone calls or video chats. Writing down one's thoughts on paper like this was undoubtedly new and unfamiliar. “When was the last time I wrote a letter? I think it was back in school when I pretended to be Li Hua,…

Chapter 203: Rest and Tachanka

by karlmaks — “You—” John French was shaking with rage. This was a bunch of lunatics! A group of madmen whose minds were warped by supposed ‘honor’ and the ‘offensive’! It was simply impossible to communicate with them! The first round of meetings thus ended in acrimonious disagreement. The more serious issue was that the meeting was over, yet not a single word had been discussed about the most crucial questions: how the Expeditionary Force should deploy next, and how to coordinate with the Gallic…
