After the 56 infantry divisions supported by Marshal Xiafei were in place, Marshal Fuxi could mobilize [-] divisions, approximately one million soldiers.

Although it seems that there are enough soldiers, many of these soldiers are defeated, the weapons and equipment are not complete, and the morale of the soldiers is not high. In addition, the frontline defensive positions are now lost, leaving many soldiers without trenches. The place, relying on civilian buildings, was repeatedly competed with the soldiers of the Hans Empire.

This resulted in extremely heavy casualties on the Allied side.

Even so, under Fuxi's command, the Allied soldiers still showed their tenacious will.

For example, in a battle for a farm, soldiers from both sides repeatedly fought for the farm more than ten times. But if you want to say how important this farm is, it’s actually not that important.

But Fuxi wanted to send people to recapture it, in order to show the determination of the Allied Powers to resist.

For another purpose, Fuxi actually hoped that the Hans Empire would repeatedly compete with him in some unimportant areas.

Because every fight is to buy time for Marshal Xiafei in the rear.

For such a competition, Marshal Fuxi said that he could have as many as possible.

However, General Ludendorff, who was in charge of the command, soon discovered that Fuxi was delaying the rhythm of his attack.

So starting from the early morning of September 9, General Ludendorff issued orders to the frontline troops, requiring each division to attack only the necessary key points, and directly attack areas that were not very important and had key defenses by the Allies. Cross over.

Send only a few soldiers to surround the area and don't let it attack your rear.

To put it simply, they want to isolate those non-important points one by one. In this case, although some of the troops will be restrained, for the Hans Empire, what matters now is not the problem of troops, but time.

At this time, Ludendorff knew that the Allies had reacted to the initial chaos and that they must be building a second line of defense.

If the second line of defense cannot be captured before the second line of defense is completed, then the Hans Empire's attack will still end in vain.

Now the Hans Empire's offensive is the greatest offensive force they can use now. If there is no way to invade Paris, then the Hans Empire can only take defense.

This passive situation is not what the upper echelons of the Hans Empire want to see.

Therefore, both Hindenburg and Wilhelm II issued orders to Ludendorff, asking him not to consider casualties and to capture the Allied second line of defense in the shortest possible time.

Ludendorff did not dare to neglect such an order.

Therefore, Ludendorff issued an order to the soldiers on the front line, asking them to bravely break through. At the same time, Ludendorff also used a large amount of poison gas.

In the sky, the airships of the Hans Empire kept dropping bombs on the heads of the Allied Powers. The Allies also fought back with anti-aircraft weapons.

It is worth mentioning that in this time and space, even if Daxia did not leak the aircraft manufacturing technology, it also brought the Wright brothers to Daxia.

However, things like airplanes were still explored by European countries and weapons were installed on the airplanes.

But the performance of these aircraft is not the same as that of Daxia's aircraft. Daxia's aircraft left European aircraft behind in terms of protection and firepower.

Under the attack of these aircraft, a large number of Hans Empire's airships crashed. The Hans Empire had no choice but to send its own planes to fight against the Allied planes.

Here a heroic figure from the Hans Empire appears, he is Manfred von Richthofen.

Because he had been flying a red-painted triplane, the Allied pilots called him the Red Baron.

Richthofen was born into a noble family of the Hans Empire. He received a good education at an early age and his behavior was full of aristocracy and chivalry.

However, although Richthofen is usually gentle and gentle, his record is quite terrifying.

It can be said that even the pilots in Daxia do not have such a record as him.

From 1913 to 1914 alone, in more than a year, Richthofen shot down 80 enemy planes, making him the ace pilot of the Hans Empire.

During this Battle of the Somme, Richthofen still led the Hans Empire's fighter planes to fly over the Somme to provide air cover for the ground attacking troops.

As usual, Richthofen felt that this was a very simple mission. Just like in the past, he piloted his red triplane and flew over the ground troops.

And it just so happened that this time, a flying brigade from the John Empire to the Gallic Empire received an order asking them to intercept the Hans Empire's airship.

As a result, this group of fighter jets flew towards the predetermined battlefield.

When they flew to the scheduled battlefield, they saw Richthofen's dazzling red fighter plane.

At this moment, this group of John pilots who had just stepped onto the battlefield were extremely panicked. After all, the name of the Red Baron has been resounding throughout the Allied Powers.

However, they were already on the battlefield at this time, and there was no way they could just choose to escape without firing a shot.

Moreover, they now have a fleet of aircraft, while the Red Baron only has 10.

Captain Arthur Roy Brown of King John.

Let’s talk briefly about Major Brown.

Arthur Roy Brown is a Canadian and a major in the John Air Force. He fought against Richthofen last year, in 1913, but at that time, Brown was the one who was shot down.

After Brown was shot down, he was captured by the Hans Empire, but he escaped from the prison camp while the guards were distracted and returned to the John Empire.

Later, due to the large shortage of Allied pilots, Brown, who had actual combat experience, was promoted and became the captain of a group.

This time John's Empire transferred its fighter planes to the Gallic Empire, and it was he who took the lead.

At this time, Brown looked at the red fighter plane in front of him, and his chest suddenly burned with fighting spirit.

As a result, the two sides, like two knights, started a fierce battle over the Somme River.

It has to be said that although the number of pilots in the Hans Empire is small, they are all elite pilots with very high personal skills.

Facing the John Empire, they had just entered the battlefield and were still considered rookie pilots. The pilots from the Hans Empire were obviously trying to cleanse them.

But even so, the John Empire's fighter planes still seemed to be dropping dumplings, and people kept crashing.

At this time, Richthofen, after shooting down three planes, set his sights on a new target.

The John pilot who felt that he was being targeted by Richthofen was obviously panicked. He seemed to have forgotten the evasive maneuvers taught to him by the instructor. He was now just relying on his instinctive reaction to get rid of Richthofen's pursuit.
