s: Continue to ask for votes Orleans, August 6, 1916, AD 2757.
Early this morning, accompanied by the roar of machines, hundreds of steel monsters appeared on the battlefield.
The monsters rushed out from behind the lines of the British and French troops, and quickly passed through the dense defenses built by the Allied Powers through the specially created passage.
They roar loudly, their exhaust pipes spit out billowing smoke, and they lunge forward in a shocking gesture.
They drove almost without stopping across the ground in front of the fortifications.
These places originally left a large number of craters due to long-term fighting.
After the rainy season, these craters turned into a quagmire that was difficult to move.
This is also one of the reasons why both warring parties are unable to open up the situation.
If nothing else, this stretch of road alone is enough to make the soldiers feel sour.
Not to mention that it started raining for two days in advance and only stopped last night.
Today, the place is almost as rotten as a swamp, with water so deep that it almost reaches the knees.
But these extremely unfriendly terrains that are inaccessible to humans did not stop the progress of these monsters.
But even so, their mobility is greatly limited, and they can no longer pass on flat ground like they did just now.
At least 80 tanks were lying in this terrible quagmire, and the crew members on them had to stay there in despair and wait for rescue.
Although there are some small obstacles, this loss is acceptable for the Allied armored forces with more than a thousand vehicles.
Their large force quickly broke out of the swamp and came to the front of the German position.
However, the German position today is quiet.
It stands to reason that the noise caused by hundreds of steel monsters is quite loud and can be heard several kilometers away.
As long as you are not deaf, it is impossible not to hear it.
If they heard such a loud noise, even a group of militiamen would have reacted.
On a command tank behind the British column, Brigadier General Beckham also noticed an abnormality.
He frowned and said to himself: "What's going on?
Are those German soldiers scared?"
He was The brigade commander of the 1st Royal Tank Brigade is also the commander-in-chief of this British and French tank force.
He immediately contacted the vanguard commander through the radio: "Batalion Commander Irving, this is Beckham.
There is something wrong with the Germans.
Send someone immediately to see what is going on with the Germans."
Yes, Beckham used a car-mounted radio.
In the original history of time and space, tank-mounted radios had to wait until World War II.
But this plane is different.
Over the years, China has produced a large number of electronic products, which has accelerated the earth's entry into the electrical age.
Take radios as an example.
During the First World War in the original time and space, radios were not very popular, and many troops were not equipped with them.
But things are different now.
Originally, the production was scarce, and only rich and handsome people could afford it.
Very high-end radio stations soon became a large number of Chinese products with better quality and reasonable prices.
So now many troops are equipped with radios.
Not only are radio stations more popular, but other electronic products are also similar.
It’s just that the electronic product markets in Europe and the United States are basically dominated by Chinese products.
The current British Mark 2 tanks are also equipped with radios, but they are only available for command tanks above the company commander level.
The company commander can only rely on signal flags, signal lights or hand gestures, and his voice to command his men.
This is because although there are more radio stations now, the price has not dropped.
The difficulty in popularizing radio stations in the original space and time during the First World War was not due to price, but also because the output could not be reached, the quality was also poor, and problems often occurred.
Although the price of radio stations made in China is still the same as that of European and American products, the quality is good, so it is still a good deal.
But no matter how you say it, no matter how cost-effective this thing is, the price is still very impressive.

No matter how rich Niu Niu is, he would not be willing to equip the big-headed soldiers with it.
"Yes, general," Battalion Commander Owen agreed quickly.
Turning around, he immediately contacted the company commander at the front.
"Neville, General Beckham wants to know why there is no response from the Germans.
Check it out immediately."
"Yes, battalion commander, we'll be there right away," Neville's reply came over the radio.
The six Mark 2 tanks at the front immediately accelerated and rumbled onto the front line of the German position.
I saw these bulky parallelogram monsters roaring loudly and spitting out black smoke as they rushed into the German defense line.
Their tracks overwhelmed the barbed wire fences that had blocked countless infantrymen and easily crossed the trenches that were difficult for infantry to cross.
Some of the fortifications at the front were crushed to pieces.
However, the Germans still did not move.
Except for the roar of tanks, the entire position was completely silent.
Neville's company commander's tank stopped after crossing a trench.
He stuck out his head and looked around, then exclaimed: "Why is there no one?
Where are those damn Germans?"
The other tanks under his command saw the company commander stop and stopped too.
Neville got out of the tank and shouted at the top of his voice to the car behind him: "Cole, Cole, do you hear that?
Immediately let the infantry on the mother tank go down to investigate and see where those damn Germans died." " The current tank configuration of the British army is three pairs of tanks per company, half male and half female.
This matter has been complained about by Chinese observers for a long time.
Colonel Yang Ning treated this matter as a joke and brought it to China, saying that this is "the chariot version of male and female matching, and the work is not tiring."
But to be honest, their configuration is quite reasonable.
The male tank is responsible for combat, and the female tank carries infantry to follow up and cover, playing the role of an infantry fighting vehicle, although it is a weakened version.
The three mother tanks of Neville Company carried 30 infantrymen.
After receiving the order, they jumped out of the tanks.
They were divided into six groups, carrying Enfield rifles, and carefully looked around.
After a while, the soldiers reported one after another: there were no German troops on the position, let alone German troops, not even mice were seen.
Neville was dumbfounded after receiving the report.
Could it be that the Germans had escaped?
He immediately got out of the car and checked for himself.
He found that all the trenches and fortifications were empty, with not even a single human hair on them.
He looked carefully and found that although the German troops retreated in a hurry, they had taken away everything.
In this uninhabited position, empty cans, bullet casings, packaging boxes and other garbage were discarded everywhere, as well as some damaged weapons and equipment, and even a damaged Jiefang truck was found.
"Bang!"
Neville kicked away an empty can on the ground and said angrily: "The Germans like Frank have escaped."
"Company Commander, Company Commander, we found several boxes of cans and drinks."
The soldiers of Group D ran over happily carrying a box.
"We found a command post in front.
We searched around, but there was no one inside and there were no weapons.
We found these things in a cabinet," the leader of Team D said with a smile.
Neville smiled when he saw it: "Good guy, it's canned dace with black bean sauce, canned coconut meat, and even chocolate.
Well, and oh, God, there is Red Bull, my favorite thing."
Neville took it He picked up a few cans of Red Bull and stuffed them into his pockets, then opened another can on the spot and took a big gulp.
"You guys, you are so lucky.
The Germans have forgotten these good things.
This is our loot.

Hahahaha, everyone, come over and divide these things."
Of course, when Neville was dividing the spoils, he did not forget to report the situation here to his superiors.
"Why did the Germans actually run away?
Can anyone tell me what is going on?"
Brigadier General Beckham immediately became embarrassed after receiving the report.
The tiger and wolf army came with a fierce momentum, but punched the air.
This feeling made him feel bad.
"He was here even yesterday, damn it" The two armies were engaged in "daily" combat yesterday, but there was no one there early this morning.
This strange situation made him very uncomfortable.
Of course, he was not naive enough to think that the Germans were cowards.
He immediately felt that the Germans must have some conspiracy.
However, he couldn't think more about this situation.
His mission was to break through the German position, and now he had completed it without firing a shot.
As for what to do next, please ask the above for instructions first.
After receiving the report from Brigadier General Beckham, the Allied Forces Command was also stunned and did not understand what the Germans were doing.
It is too illogical to say that those defense lines were built by the Germans after more than a year of hard work.
It is not necessary to say that they are not needed.
Even if you want to lure the enemy deep, there is no such way.
However, it doesn't matter.
Since we have broken through the opponent's defense line, we must quickly occupy it.
We must also send a good news back first so that the people can also hear the good news of our victory.
After sending a good news to the eagerly awaited bosses of the two countries, Haig and Foch continued to look at each other.
Damn, where did this German guy go?
Tangpu.
Temple is a small town north of Orleans, located on the Orleans-Paris railway, about 60 kilometers away from Orleans.
Because the geographical location of Tangpu is very important, after this town was occupied by the German army, the Germans moved away the local residents.
This place was turned into a military camp, mainly as a supply center for the front line.
Now, there are many more Germans here than usual.
Not only are the town full of people, but even the outside of the town is full of tents.
That's right, the German troops that the Allies failed to find are now nesting here.
They took advantage of the rain yesterday and the Allied aircraft could not be dispatched, so they began to retreat here.
Only a few troops were left on the front line.
At night, even these few people withdrew.
At this time, in a tent outside the town, several young officers of the First Armored Division were gathering together to laugh.
"The guys from the Allies must not have thought that we would retreat to the back, hahahaha" Captain Rommel smiled proudly
