My Italian: Chapter 611 Marne End

At this time, in the battle that broke out on the Marne River, the German and French armies formed a strong momentum. The French army needs to defeat the opponent before the German reinforcements arrive, and the German army needs to withstand the French army's attack and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Therefore, the battle on the Marne River became more and more tragic and bloody. Both sides broke out with 12 points of strength, trying to prevent the other side from achieving their intentions.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

On both sides of the Marne River, intensive artillery fire caused craters to fill the ground. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the two armies were avoiding the attack of artillery fire in the trenches. At this moment, they were constantly praying for themselves in their hearts, praying that the shells would not fall beside them.

However, apart from bringing comfort to the heart, such prayers have no practical effect. The shells land where they should fall.

Of course, the shelling was short-lived, and it was more of a fight between soldiers from the two sides.

French soldiers often stepped on the point as soon as the shelling ended and attacked the German army in the position. The defending German army also rushed back to their positions as soon as the shelling ended to meet the French attack.

On both sides of the Marne River, **** fights between soldiers from both sides continued to be staged, and the life of a soldier was calculated in hours. Why do you say that, because the ensuing battle was even bloodier. After the second day's battle, the total number of losses counted by both parties was as high as 120,000.

Such a large number of casualties was of course brought about by high-intensity fighting. During this day, the French army launched more than ten attacks in succession. Often the French army that launched the offensive last time was repelled, and the next wave of French soldiers was already on the way to charge.

Although this continuous attack will cause a large number of casualties, it also puts great pressure on the defensive German army, because the high-intensity continuous combat makes the already exhausted German officers and soldiers even more uncomfortable.

After repelling a French attack, many German soldiers immediately fell exhausted in the trenches and fell asleep, even though no one could wake them up.

Faced with this situation, the officer skillfully kicked their butts hard to make them get up quickly. If you can't wake it up, you can only drag it back to the anti-battery cave, after all, the trench is too dangerous.

The continuous high-intensity offensive of the French army, although it caused a lot of casualties at the beginning, is much better in terms of effect.

Because the German officers and soldiers were forced to engage in high-intensity combat on the ground, which consumed their little energy. This also caused the firepower on its position to become weaker and weaker, and of course the accuracy became worse and worse.

And this situation allowed the French army to seize many front-line positions in a row the next afternoon. Facing the uninterrupted offensive of the French army, Kruger and Bilow also sent troops to replace the frontline officers and soldiers who were about to collapse.

This method is simple and effective, but it has little effect on the German First and Second Army. Because the officers and soldiers of the two armies were exhausted, although the second-line troops wanted to get a little more rest time, they still didn't recover. Instead, it was because of the previous rest that I was more tired.

Anyone who has continuous high-intensity work experience knows that the state of exhaustion cannot be recovered after a beautiful sleep, but after a sleep, the whole person will fall into a state of fatigue, which requires two or three hours. Rest will allow the body to truly recover to an energetic state. The kind of people who can recover after a short sleep are definitely different from ordinary people.

Therefore, the transfer of the second-line troops did not affect the French offensive. Their continuous offensive did not give the Germans a chance to breathe. The two German commanders also received news of the loss of frontline positions one after another.

If the sun had not set and the night had shrouded the land, then the French army would very likely have broken through the German defense line today.

In fact, the main problem that plagued the German army was that the soldiers were too tired and did not get enough rest. As long as they are given three days to rest, not to mention defeating the French army on the opposite side, at least they can block the French army's attack with ease.

But obviously, the French army will not give this opportunity. In fact, the French army is also relatively exhausted. The Fifth Army and the British Expeditionary Force were chased around like dogs before. It's impossible not to be tired.

But thanks to their new force, the Seventh Army will take the lead, giving the Fifth Army and the British Expeditionary Force more time to rest and regroup.

It doesn't have to be back to top form, just better than the Germans.

Obviously, the results of the second day's battle showed that the thinking of the British and French coalition forces was correct.

On the third day that followed, the British and French allied forces continued to launch a wave of offensives against the German army. At this time, the German army was even more difficult to defend. Most of the first-line positions were lost, and the second-line positions also became precarious. As for the defensive weapon Maxim, there are only two hundred in the hands of the two armies.

You must know that at the beginning, the two armies were equipped with more than 800 Maxim, but now the two armies are not even a quarter of them.

The main reason for this is consumption on the battlefield. For the Maxim machine gun on the battlefield, the attacking British and French troops regard it as a thorn in their eyes, and always try to eliminate it as soon as they find it.

Moreover, in this battle, the French artillery was rarely at a disadvantage. In addition, the number of its artillery was higher than that of the German army, which also resulted in more artillery that could support the front-line troops. The German heavy machine guns did not have much room to survive in front of these directly supported artillery.

There is another one. At this time, the German army's use of machine guns is not yet handy, although it has obtained the method of using machine guns from its ally Italy. But you need to try it on the battlefield to know your own experience, so the Germans are not yet proficient in the tactical use of machine guns, which also makes the machine guns they erected more likely to be hit by artillery.

After losing most of the machine guns ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the situation of the German army was even more difficult. During the third day of fighting, deserters rarely appeared in the German defense line. Although it was only the escape of more than a dozen people, it showed that the defensive German army was approaching the pressure limit.

Of course, when it caused huge pressure and casualties to the German army, the casualties of the British and French allied forces would not be small. However, by virtue of their advantages in internal operations, they can better obtain supplies and supplementary troops.

Not to mention, taking a taxi from Paris to the front line of the Marne River is definitely a great feat.

The Anglo-French allied forces were well replenished, and the defending German forces were in dire need of replenishment.

For this reason, Kruger and Bilo informed the plight they were facing to Little Moltke in the rear in the form of a telegram.

Little Mao Qi got the specific situation, on the one hand, he deployed more troops to reinforce them, and on the other hand, he ordered the traffic department to ensure that the first batch of reinforcements arrived at the Marne River on time.

So where did the reinforcements drawn from Germany go at this time?
