Chapter 217: Both Sides Panic

by karlmaks — Leaving the Command Post, Morin rode his horse at a slow trot on the night road. The summer night wind blowing on his face gradually calmed his mind, which had been heated by excitement. His action just now was entirely impulsive. But once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed. If he could truly change the Dispatch Rider’s fate, allowing him to pick up a paintbrush instead of a butcher’s knife... Wouldn't that mean the world might avoid the global catastrophe of the future? This world…

Chapter 216: I’ll Get You a Letter of Recommendation After the War

by karlmaks — “Earthworks?” one General asked with some confusion. “Exactly,” General Mackensen’s tone was unequivocal. “Since the open ground in front of the enemy’s positions lacks cover, we will take matters into our own hands and create cover for our soldiers!” “We will dig a parallel Attack Trench, and from this trench, we will dig several Communication Trenches forward, extending right up to the enemy’s position!” “We will pave a safe assault route for our attacking troops, right…

Chapter 215: Large-Scale Earthworks

by karlmaks — Next, Mackensen’s pointer drew a large arc on the sand table, bypassing the west side of Amiens, stabbing directly toward its southern rear. “Simultaneously with the start of our frontal assault, the main force of the First Army Group will be commanded by me personally, to execute a large-scale strategic maneuver to the west!” This massive arrow represents the most elite striking force of the Saxon Army. “We will force a crossing of the Somme River here, and here,” Mackensen tapped two…

Chapter 214: Mission Objective: Annihilation

by karlmaks — Just as the remaining Dispatch Rider was about to fall asleep waiting, a few figures finally appeared on the distant road. When he saw five people cycling slowly back, the Dispatch Rider reacted as if he had seen a long-lost relative. He excitedly leaped up three feet from the ground, then quickly ran to Morin, who was leading, and relayed the Army Group Command Post's order again. Morin looked at the Dispatch Rider, who was so excited he was nearly crying, and was momentarily stunned. One…

Chapter 213: The Stubborn Dispatch Rider

by karlmaks — Manstein thought for a moment, then answered with a hint of uncertainty: “Is it because we have more advanced weapons and more rigorous tactical training?” “You’re right, but only half right.” Morin shook his head, patiently explaining: “The other half, and the most crucial reason for our successful breakthrough of enemy positions... is the reconnaissance work we do before the assault, which is more thorough than anyone else’s.” “Think about it: if we don't know where the enemy…

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…
