Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme
Chapter 208 Blocking
The war has been going on for almost a month. Such a long time has passed and Valentina has not come back yet after leaving for so long. This makes August feel something is wrong.
She had never left him for such a long time without replying to him. Where did Valentina go?
August specially went to the wartime General Staff in Frankfurt to ask Moltke, but Moltke had no clue. He also didn’t know that Valentina’s whereabouts were unknown a few months after she resigned from the General Staff. Where did Valentina go?
Mao Qi looked at it and said, "Valentina has a very strong working ability. Without her, my work efficiency has been reduced a lot. It would be great if I could get her back."
August suddenly felt a little annoyed at why he didn't ask clearly where she was going. It happened that Tina was also in Frankfurt. She must be on the front line to witness the day when the French were defeated.
August's sudden arrival made her a little happy. She also felt that August came to find her because he was lonely in Berlin.
In the end, August was indeed a little lonely, but unfortunately he didn't come to see her. She came to see Valentina. After explaining the situation to Tina, although Tina was a little depressed, she should still focus on the overall situation, " I didn’t see Valentina, I thought she would tell you where to go.”
"Is that so? She has never been out of contact for so long, not since she became my maid."
Tina: "Could it be that she hid on purpose? Think about it carefully. Did she say anything strange when she said goodbye to you?"
August didn't have much of an impression. When they finally parted, Valentina muttered some words, but she didn't hear them clearly. It might be important, but it shouldn't be a hint.
Going a step further, Valentina once proposed the establishment of a corps composed of women to assist frontline soldiers. Shortly after the establishment of this corps, Valentina chose to leave Sanssouci Palace. , and then ran away to no one knows where.
"Tina, where are the Prussian female soldiers?"
"Is that the newly established corps? They have all been sent to the front line. There are almost [-] people in total. They are scattered among the three front-line armies... Could it be that Valentina went to join the army?"
"Well, I can only think of this possibility. Valentina once revealed that she wanted to participate in the war, but I didn't pay too much attention... No, I have to go to the front line to capture her... "Auguste said that he was about to lead the expedition in person.
This frightened Tina, so she quickly pulled her back, "Don't imitate Napoleon III... Why did you lose your cool when you mentioned Valentina?"
"She has never made me worry...and now she is doing such dangerous things without telling me."
"Valentina should be fine. I'm going to tell Moltke now and ask him to try to mobilize the grassroots officers to find Valentina. She is very different from other recruits and should give some The officer should leave some impression, it shouldn’t be difficult to find him.”
"Well, please."
……
After the Battle of Volta, the Prussian army continued to advance. The subsequent battles were all very small battles. The Prussian army did not suffer any major blows, but the partial resistance of the French army still had some impact on the large army.
There were still some French troops hidden in many fortresses and fortifications. Moltke's order was to clear out the remaining French soldiers and then advance towards the interior of France. The army continued to attack Strasbourg. At that time, another battle report came from the north.
The Prussian Second Army won the Battle of Spicheren, and the army was preparing to attack the Metz Fortress. Moltke judged that the war in the south did not require many troops for the time being, so he transferred most of the cavalry and some infantry to the north to attack the Metz Fortress.
The Metz Fortress is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are at least [-] French troops inside. Bazin is a defensive master comparable to Zhang Han. As long as Bazin stays in the city, it will take a long time for the Prussian army to break in. It was estimated that it would take several months to force Bazin to surrender.
Therefore, Moltke sent the cavalry and most of the artillery of the Third Army to support Bittenfeldt's Second Army, helping him attack the city as quickly as possible and defeat the French fortress.
Valentina also followed her troops north to support the Second Army. When they arrived near Evele, Blumenthal, the commander-in-chief of the Prussian army in charge of support, received a message. Bittenfeld asked him to bring a large number of troops with him. The cavalry corps hurried to Metz.
Now Bittenfeldt must immediately block the Rhine Army that is about to flee to Chalons. If it is slower and allows these French troops to escape, it will be a big trouble. If there is no way to eliminate the effective strength of the French army, then the French army will soon be able to Regroup, and you will need more ammunition and troops to annihilate them.
But a rapid march means abandoning the slow-moving infantry and letting the elite cavalry units run over first. Otherwise, by the time the infantry gets there, the French army will have already disappeared.
There was no other way. After handing over the general power to Constantine, the commander of the Third Army, Blumenthal immediately took all the cavalry and hurried north to the Metz Fortress to meet the main force of the Prussian army.
This wave of divisions also gave an opportunity to the French 4th Army of the Metz Corps stationed in Tours. There are probably more than [-] French troops stationed here. The number is not particularly large, but Blumenthal has already put the most elite troops there. The cavalry regiment was taken away. According to the information they captured, this regiment had less than [-] people and could definitely find a way to eat him.
Radmiro, commander of the French 4th Army, immediately led [-] cavalry to attack. Since it was a surprise attack, the Prussian army was not prepared and was caught off guard.
Constantine led his troops to retreat while fighting. This French army went deep alone, and there were many people on its side, so it should have been very advantageous.
But the problem is that our own team is not very mobile, and many troops have been scattered, including Valentina's team.
Valentina walked farther back because she was a medic. Most of the soldiers here were new soldiers. Veterans usually walked farther ahead, just for fear of enemies sneaking up on them.
Suddenly, several artillery shells hit not far from Valentina, followed by the sound of French rifles, and then a group of French cavalry holding sabers rushed into the Prussian army and began to chop randomly.
In the sudden hail of bullets, a Prussian soldier not far from Valentina's thigh was spattered by shell fragments and bled a lot.
"My legs!" The soldier fell into the bushes nearby.
Valentina didn't care about anything else and ran over, "Soldier, are you okay?"
Valentina immediately put a bandage on him and stopped the bleeding. Juliet also ran to Valentina's side at this time, "Lenna! It's very dangerous here, let's run away!"
"No! He needs my help!"
"If you don't leave, the French army will come!" Juliet tried to pull Valentina up, but she was stunned when she saw the soldier's expression asking for help.
His face was full of panic. If he were left here, he would definitely die.
"Juliet, please leave quickly. I can't give up any soldier. This is my duty!" Valentina picked up a soldier who was taller than herself. Juliet gritted her teeth and went to the other side to pick him up. Got this soldier.
"Then I'll help too!"
With a wounded Valentina and Juliet moving very slowly, the large army retreated to a high ground and began to counterattack. Constantine loaded up ten cannons and started bombarding the French cavalry.
In the chaos, the entire army was scattered, and Valentina and Juliet took the wounded soldier to a hidden place.
Valentina looked at the wound. There was a large fragment inside, and it was exposed to the outside. It was not very deep. Valentina felt that she could do it. "You can bear with it, it might hurt a little..."
Valentina used the tweezers in her hands to take out the shrapnel. Blood spattered on Valentina's face, but she remained calm. Juliet beside her quickly turned her head away. The look is really penetrating.
"Ah!" The soldier shouted in pain, and finally the shrapnel was taken out. Valentina then applied some medicine on it and wrapped it with a bandage.
"This should be fine for the time being."
At this time, the sound of artillery fire outside was getting smaller and smaller. Valentina stuck her head out and looked in the direction of the battlefield. She found that they had fallen behind, and Constantine had retreated far away with his large army.
"Lenna..." Juliet's voice was trembling.
"What's wrong?" Valentina looked behind her. She was stunned. Six French soldiers pointed their guns at them.
One of the French soldiers said, "Woman?"
