Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

In the northern Gaul battlefield, the armies of the Germanic Imperial Army advanced southward according to a predetermined plan.

Eight army groups, almost in a row, formed an attack frontal of more than two hundred kilometers.

Moreover, according to the plan of the General Staff of the Germanic Empire, three army groups with armored divisions should control the speed of the assault, and after breaking through the line of the Sun and the Gauls, they would suspend the continuation of the attack to the south, but attack to both sides, assist other army groups, and surround and annihilate the main forces of the Sun and Gauls.

It was the strict implementation of this tactic that made the advance of the Germanic Imperial Army not fast. However, every step is steady. At the same time, in the process, a large number of troops of the Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set were surrounded.

This severely weakened the living forces of the Gallic Army and the Expeditionary Force of the Empire that never sets.

If this continues, the end result will be that the Gauls and the Sunset people will become weaker and weaker. In the end, they would no longer be able to withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Although, during the battle, the Germanic Imperial Army also inevitably suffered some losses.

However, there is strong artillery fire support, and air support from the Air Force is also possible. Plus armored forces tend to rush to the front.

Under such circumstances, the losses of the Germanic Imperial Army were undoubtedly much smaller.

Three days later, the Germanic Imperial Army had begun its offensive against the important cities of Amiens, Saint-Quentin and Reims in northern Gaul.

Although the sun never set, the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the Gallic Army attempted to hold these important cities.

However, their resistance was simply futile.

In particular, the Germanic Imperial Army used a large number of artillery and aircraft to directly bombard the city, and even dispatched large-caliber train guns to participate in the shelling. This quickly blew up these cities into ruins. The Imperial Expeditionary Force and the Gallic Army stationed in the city suffered heavy losses.

Even so, in the fierce street battles, the Germanic Imperial Army also had to pay some price to eliminate the recalcitrant Sunrise and Gauls.

This led the Germanic Imperial Army to put armored troops into even urban street battles. Tanks and armored vehicles were placed in front as meat shields to cover the subsequent infantry attack.

Because of the lack of anti-tank weapons, the Gauls and the Sunrise could not take this attack tactic of the Germanic Imperial Army. But if the Gauls and the Sunseters were armed with a large number of anti-tank weapons. If tanks and armored vehicles enter the city to engage in street fighting, they are undoubtedly looking for death.

At a relatively close distance, the power of anti-tank weapons can be fully exerted.

Overall, the situation on the battlefield was still very favorable for the Germanic Imperial Army.

Although the Gauls and the Sun Never Set have done their best. However, they were still unable to stop the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

“Your Excellency Commander, we have already taken half of Amiens. Although there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city, there are still people who are stubbornly resisting. But in just a few days, we should be able to wipe them all out! Lieutenant General Frank, chief of staff of the 1st Army, smiled.

Admiral Kluk nodded expressionlessly, although the troops were going well. However, he did not seem too satisfied.

“It’s late October now. Soon, winter will come. It seems that we can’t win it before the end of this year! Admiral Kluk sighed.

Bari is the capital of the old enemy of the Gallic Kingdom, and what a great honor it would be if it could be invaded!

Admiral Kluk undoubtedly wanted his troops to receive this glory.

“Your Excellency Commander, the battle plan of His Majesty the Emperor and the General Staff is for us to fight steadily. We simply did not expect to be able to end the war this year. Lieutenant General Frank reminded.

“I know. Still, I want to give it a try! How many tanks and armored vehicles will the 1st Panzer Division have to continue fighting? Admiral Kluk asked.

“Your Excellency Commander, the 1st Panzer Division suffered a lot of losses in the previous battles, and now only one hundred and eighty tanks and one hundred and twenty armored vehicles remain.” Lieutenant General Frank replied.

“Good, it should be almost enough. I thought about it this way, leaving the battle here in Amiens to the 4th Army. Our main forces, bypassing Amiens, marched directly to the bar. From Amiens to the bar, it’s only about a hundred kilometers. If all goes well, in three to four days at most, we’ll be able to reach the outskirts of the bar and see the Eiffel Tower! Admiral Kluk suggested.

Lieutenant General Frank was stunned, and seemed to be frightened by Admiral Cluke’s boldness, which was a blatant act of disobedience!

“General, I am afraid that this will make His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff very dissatisfied. In addition, there are more than 100,000 stubborn enemies in Amiens, and it is difficult to eat it by relying on the 4th Army alone! Frank reminded.

Admiral Cluke thought for a moment, then said, “No matter what, I’m going to try it.” Three infantry divisions were left to assist the 4th Army. The rest of the troops, bypassing Amiens, quickly advanced south! ”

Subsequently, Admiral Kluk gave orders in the name of the commander of the army group , leaving the 71st, 81st and 91st Infantry Divisions to assist the 4th Army in continuing to attack the enemy in Amiens, while the rest of the main forces of the army group quickly moved south.

This unauthorized action of Admiral Kluke made Admiral Moltke Jr. furious.

If there is an accident, it will undoubtedly affect the entire front.

August was also unhappy with this, and at the last meeting he had specifically stressed that the troops must follow orders. As a result, Admiral Kluk continued to go his own way.

It’s just that it is now during the war, and it is even more taboo to change generals on the spot. Therefore, Auguste, although very dissatisfied with General Kluk, did not forcibly replace him, but only gave orders to the 4th Army that they must completely annihilate the enemy forces in Amiens.

At the same time, August also ordered the 7th Army, which was in reserve, to maneuver by rail to the southern part of the Kingdom of Belis. If the attack on the front line is not smooth, they will quickly increase the plan to the front line and continue to ensure the attack power of the German Imperial Army.

And Admiral Kluk didn’t care about this at all, and his troops were already quickly marching towards Barri.
