Xia Fei couldn't help but feel anxious. The Geely Army played a pivotal role in his plan.If the Geely nationals cannot participate, the winning rate of the counterattack plan is less than 30%.

So he personally went to the Geely Army headquarters on the afternoon of June 3 to persuade Sir French, the Geely Army commander.

In the end, French agreed to this counter-offensive plan at Xiafei's request and said that he would "do his best" to participate in the battle.

In the evening, Xiafei returned to his headquarters and issued a brief mobilization order to the troops:

"We are about to participate in a battle. This is a battle related to the destiny of our country. The retreat phase is over. Now we should go all out to attack the enemy and drive them back. If the troops can't advance anymore, they will not hesitate. Defend the position at all costs, and would rather die than retreat. Under the current circumstances, any action to show weakness is intolerable."

Thus the Marne River battle plan of the Gili Gaul coalition forces was formally formed.

Xiafei ordered the 5th and 6th Group Army and the Geely Expeditionary Army to conduct major assaults against the German 1st and 2nd Group Army. The 9th and 4th Group Army of the Law contained the enemy's 3rd and 4th Group Army. The 3rd Group Army of the Law was in Verdun. An auxiliary assault was carried out to the west.At this time, on the front line from Leba to Verdun, the coalition's 66 divisions had 1.082 million against the Will Army's 51 divisions with 900,000; in the main attack direction, the coalition forces were twice as powerful as the Will Army.

Tributary of the Marne and Seine.The total length is 525 kilometers.The basin area is 13,000 square kilometers.The scale of the battle actually exceeded that of the Great Qing Maoqiu War.

On June 4, when the Kluk Army passed east of Leba and could see the Eiffel Tower, its rear right flank was attacked by the French 6th Army in Mauroli.

Kluk immediately ordered the 3rd and 9th armies to turn around to deal with Mao Laoli, and the task of these two armies was to cover the right flank of the German 2nd Army.Therefore, their retreat created a gap of 20 Geely between the German First Army and the Second Army.

Because the Geely army facing this gap had already retreated quickly, Kluk dared to take this danger.For the Will Army, the key to victory lies in whether it can defeat the two wings of the Gaul Army, that is, the 6th Army and the Gili Army before the main force of the Gaul Army and the Gili Army use a gap to break through their waists. Foch's 9th Army.

Kluk focused on dealing with Mao Laoli's troops.When Mao Laoli was about to be unable to withstand it, he asked Gallieni to send troops from Lebanon for reinforcement."This request inspired Gallieni to organize the first motorized column in war history.

Gallieni ordered the Lebanese law and order to recruit all Lebanese cars and transported the forces of a division to the battlefield, so that Mao Laoli was not defeated by Kluk.

Immediately afterwards, the Fifth Army of the Gaul Army and the Gili National Expeditionary Army launched a comprehensive counter-offensive. Even though the army of the Will Army is known as the world’s strongest army, it has long been exhausted and explained in the face of Gili Gaul’s superior forces. Into a hard fight.

"Your Excellency Commander! General Biro sent a message that French led the three armies of the Geely Army into the gap between our First Army and the Second Army. They were about to be surrounded and had to choose to retreat."

When Lublu urged the troops to seize the offensive against the Sixth Army of France, he received bad news.

"Damn coward! These Gallic chickens will soon be defeated by us, but he chose to escape."

Lublu could not help being furious. If this battle fails, he will bear the unshirkable responsibility. He abandoned his original combat plan and went deep alone. If honestly, it was only for Lebanon the first time, maybe now Leba Has changed hands.

However, he looked at it and found that the French Sixth Army, which was still stubbornly resisting, the French Fifth Army and the Gili National Expeditionary Army, which were pressing in, finally ordered the entire army to retreat...

It can be said that the Will Army is really talented and the army is strong, but this failure is also due to their talent and confidence in their army, or lack of the wisdom of Mao Qi and Shi Lifen that convinced everyone.

Geniuses have their own ideas and think that the tactics of others are imperfect. First of all, Xiao Maoqi revised the Schlieffen plan, reducing the 1.2 million troops of the right wing to 1 million, especially the 500,000 of the First Army to 300,000. , 200,000 are reserved for other uses.

Moreover, Lublu changed his plan without authorization. Instead of attacking Leba, he chased the Gaul Fifth Army in an attempt to wipe it out.

It can be said that if Lubylu does not change its plan, even if the number of Gili Gaul coalition forces on the front line from Leba to Verdun exceeds the Will Army, they will attack at the first time instead of thinking that Gili Gaul has already purchased trenches and bunker If it's over, if you fall into a battle of positions.

The Will Army can still defeat them by virtue of higher quality than the two countries.

And if Xiao Maoqi does not change Schlieffen’s plan, and the First Army has 500,000 troops, even if Rubylu changes the plan, the Will Army can win the Battle of the Marne...

In the Battle of the Marne River, the two warring parties successively invested 1.5 million troops, with more than 300,000 casualties.Among them, the Gaul Army was killed 21,000 and 122,000 were injured; the Geely Army was killed 13,000 with 56,000 in hand, and the Will Force was 43,000 killed and 173,000 injured.

In the more than one month since the outbreak of the war, the Army of Wills followed the basic policy set by Schlieffen and quickly moved across Belgian territory to the Gaul mainland.At that time, the whole nation of Will, and even almost the whole world, were convinced that the Army of Will would soon triumph and Lebanon was about to be occupied.

However, due to the later tactical changes and the weakening of the strategy itself, the powerful Will Army suffered a setback. However, it can be seen from the battle that it can still retreat even in the face of encirclement and exhaustion. The Internet is still under the Gili Gaul coalition forces, worthy of their reputation as the world's first army.

But strategically speaking, this battle was the victory of the Gili Gaul coalition forces. They successfully defended Leba and shattered the Schlieffen plan that the Will Army prepared for a quick victory.Drag the war into the battle, the trenches are very long, and the bunkers are densely packed.

As Mao Qiu sent troops on the Eastern Front, the two sides completely entered the stage of strategic stalemate...
