Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Germanic Empire, Berlin, General Staff.

As the war reached a critical juncture, Emperor August spent most of his day here. Even a lot of government affairs are carried out here.

“Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the army of the Russian Empire is rapidly mobilizing. I am afraid that there is not much time left before they launch a large-scale attack on us. Intelligence Director Lieutenant General Cottle reported.

“Telegram to the Eastern Front Command and prepare them for the response. Once the Russians attacked, the main thing was defense, first find a way to resist the attack of the Tsars, and hold out until we won on the battlefield on the Western Front. August commanded.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Lieutenant General Kotel replied.

“How long will it take for the 7th, 8th, 13th and 16th armies to break out of the Ardennes? The offensive of the front-line troops has completely attracted the attention of the Gauls and the sunset. Their main forces have all gathered on the Marne River line. August asked.

“Your Majesty, the 7th, 8th, 13th and 16th Armies are progressing quite well. It is expected that tomorrow the vanguard of the 7th Army will be able to break out of the Ardennes. Subsequent troops will also soon break out of the Ardennes and launch an attack on the Gauls. Marshal Moltke replied.

August nodded, his gaze falling on the map.

He is even more looking forward to the next battle.

He wanted to see what kind of reaction they would have when hundreds of thousands of Germanic Imperial troops rushed out of the Ardennes and killed the Gauls and the Sunrise. I am afraid that the entire Marne line has the possibility of a rapid collapse.

In this way, the Germanic Empire could easily win this battle.

“In this battle, we must take out the main forces of the Gauls and the Sunseters. Therefore, the advance speed of the troops must be very fast, and strive to complete the flank and rear detour of the Marne line in the shortest possible time. August said.

“Your Majesty, we have assigned a large number of trucks to several army groups, which has greatly increased the speed of the troops’ advance. If all goes well, the detour of the Marne line will be completed within a few days. The main forces of the Gauls and the sun will definitely not be able to run. Marshal Moltke Jr. replied confidently.

In order to plan this battle, the General Staff of the Germanic Empire prepared for a long time. Various possible scenarios were also prepared to ensure the successful completion of this operation.

April 7, 1715, is destined to go down in history.

Northeast of Gaul, in the Ardennes.

A unit dressed in the uniform of the German Imperial Army came out of the forest.

This unit was the reconnaissance battalion of the 7th Infantry Division of the Germanic Imperial Army, and they walked in front of the entire 7th Army and even the entire assault force.

“Sir, we’re coming out. In front is the territory of the Gauls. A soldier said excitedly.

“Order the companies to immediately hide and prepare for battle. Telegram to the follow-up troops, we have passed safely, let them speed up! The major battalion commander ordered.

“Yes, sir!” The herald immediately relayed the order.

At the same time, several companies and units directly under the battalion immediately began to deploy on the spot. So that in the event of encountering the Gauls, they could resist the Gaul attack and buy time for the main force to follow.

Soon, a steady stream of troops came out of the mountains of Ah and Wait.

The first to pass through the Ardennes were the 7th Infantry Division, followed by the 17th Infantry Division and the 9th Panzer Division.

The commander of the 7th Army, General Walddezer, also left the Ardennes with his troops.

“Where are we now? Where is the front? How far is it from the Gauls? General Walder asked.

“Your Excellency, Commander, we are now located in the northeast of Gaul, twenty kilometers southwest, and we are in Metz. Thirty kilometers further west is Verdun. According to the information we have received earlier, the Gauls deployed only one infantry division in Metz. “The chief of staff of the army group, Lieutenant General Kurt, reported.

“Well, it seems that our arrival did not arouse the idea of the Gauls. The 9th Panzer Division, the 7th Infantry Division, immediately launched an attack on Metz. We have to get Metz in the shortest possible time. Then, the total annihilation launched an attack south of Verdun! General Walder ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” The generals all answered.

Immediately, the 9th Panzer Division and the 7th Infantry Division began to march towards Metz.

Three hundred Wolf light tanks of the 9th Panzer Division and two hundred and forty Hound armoured vehicles were damaged while passing through the Ardennes. However, it will not have much impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire division.

The 7th Infantry Division was equipped with a large number of trucks so that the soldiers could directly advance on trucks, greatly increasing the speed of advance.

After the 9th Panzer Division and the 7th Infantry Division were dispatched, the units under the 7th Army of the German Imperial Army also continued to emerge from the Ardennes.

The 7th Cavalry Brigade, on the other hand, detoured Metz and advanced south of Verdun.

At the same time, the 17th Infantry Division, the 27th Infantry Division, the 37th Infantry Division, the 47th Infantry Division, the 57th Infantry Division, the 67th Infantry Division, the 77th Infantry Division, the 87th Infantry Division and the 97th Infantry Division will also advance rapidly.

Following the 7th Army through the Ardennes was the 8th Army. Behind them, there were also the 13th and 16th armies.

This time, the Germanic Empire used 4 army groups and more than 800,000 people to cross the Ardennes Mountains as a killer weapon for the Germanic Empire in this battle.

From the current point of view, the plan of the Germanic Empire is still very successful.

At least , the Germanic army was undisturbed as it crossed the Ardennes. Even the Germanic army managed to pass through the Ardennes, and the Gauls did not know about it.

Perhaps, the Gauls did not expect that the army of the Germanic Empire would actually be killed from the Ardennes. They simply did not think that large forces could pass through the Ardennes, at most through small ones.

Therefore, the Gauls only deployed an infantry division here, more than 10,000 people, to guard against the harassment and sneak attack of the small forces of the Germanic Imperial Army.

This also made the Gauls unable to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Germanic Empire in the future. So that in this battle, they lost a lot.
