C2659 Night Assault Order! (1/2)
Every single movement of the French army was detected by the Chinese SPECIAL SERVICES. Some of the soldiers in camouflage clothing had already penetrated 25 kilometers deep into the French territory.
This vast border forest had already become the territory of these Dark Elves. As long as the forest stretched out, they would be able to safely roam about.
However, these young officers were not overconfident. They strictly complied with their commanding officer's orders and only roamed the dense forest, staying far away from the main road and plains.
But that was enough. The highest power of the telescope came from a fine Prussian miller, whose clarity and vision far exceeded that of the French.
When the cavalry stationed in the various towns in the distance started to gather towards one direction, these SPECIAL SERVICES finally understood that the great battle was about to begin.
”The cavalry of Tironville are beginning to move west …”
”The defenders of Agon's army retreated all of a sudden …”
”All of the infantry are strengthening their defenses, and all of the cavalry are moving towards the Mace City …”
”What exactly is going on? Is the enemy not going to fight? ”
”Stop dreaming, this is the assembly before the French start their main assault!” Send the news back to the leader immediately! ”
SPECIAL SERVICES rode his captured French warhorse and headed north straight for the camp. By the time the messenger arrived at the camp one after another, the sky was already getting dark.
”The French are gathering? Retreat towards the Mace City? ”They're here, they're here!” When Xiao Letian heard this news, he immediately became spirited. ”Quickly go and invite General Steinmetz over!”
The old general and the Fiihrer looked down at the map on the table in the light of the gas lamps that had given the order. They did not speak for a long time.
”Do you have any suggestions?” the old general asked without raising his head.
Xiao Letian rubbed his eyes and pointed to the Salbrucon on the map, ”The enemy's first target must be here. Once we occupy Salbrucon City, they will be able to open the railway line to Germany, and the French train will be able to cover the army and head north!”
”At this time, we can't doubt the judgement of Chief of Staff Mao Qi anymore! A short exchange of fire and then letting go of the city! ”Only by luring the enemy deep into our territory can we eat this army that has advanced with greed!”
”We can't act rashly until the war is concluded in the east!”
General Steinmetz rubbed his temples. ”Out of this city?” This isn't a problem. Our plan to lure the enemy into our depths was also part of our plan … However … But what happens if we show weakness and make the French Emperor suspect us? ”
”What if they figure out that our first battle plan is the Eastern Front? Isn't the strategic deceit a waste? ”
”Don't worry about my old general. You underestimate the hatred the French have for the Chinese. As long as my soldiers are still in France, the main force of the 150,000 strong army will not be separated into the east lines!”
”Send my order, let the First and Fourth Battalions cross the border and attack as well!” I will only give you two one night's time, you must all come back before daybreak! ”
”Whether you can enrage these French forces and cause the French Emperor to lose his mind will all depend on you!”
He absolutely did not expect that facing a huge army of one hundred and fifty thousand, two thousand Chinese would actually dare to advance against the wind. He wanted to dissuade them, but when he thought about their mission at the 1st Legion, this old general turned silent.
”I can't stop you because your decision is the most advantageous one for the current situation! But I don't know how many casualties you're going to suffer... ”God bless you!”
”Haha …” Don't worry about my general, don't forget the nickname the people at the border gave my soldiers, Dark Elves! Wasn't Dark Elves born to fight in the dark? ”
