Chapter 771 When Xiaoqiu Meets Xiaoxi

On the banks of the Loire River, there are all kinds of castles, large and small. Chateaudant Castle is such a large-scale castle, all made of bluestone bricks, and the strategic location is extremely important.

From afar, the towering castle that harmoniously combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles is like a giant beast crawling on the bank of the river, witnessing the vicissitudes of the country for hundreds of years.

The princes of the 15th century once celebrated the festival and cooked delicious food here.

All kinds of castles represent a thriving France, but since the failure of the Franco-Prussian War, France and Prussia have signed a humiliating peace treaty, with a total compensation of 5 billion francs. In addition, the war losses have reached 20 billion francs, resulting in insufficient investment in the country's economic development capital.

In addition, the cession of Alsace and Lorraine, which are rich in iron ore, has caused a serious lack of resources for economic development. In addition, before the payment of compensation, Germany occupied six northern provinces of France in one go on the grounds that it was worried about France's remorse, further narrowed the French domestic market, and eventually led to France's second industry. The progress of the revolution is slow, gradually lagging behind the consequences of Britain and Germany in Europe!

The decline of France is that from then on, every Frenchman was eager to retake Alsace and Lorraine and defeat Germany, so when soldiers from the German Principality of Bavaria, which had a national hatred with France and was despised by the French as barbaric, rude and rude, occupied this place, such a representative of French culture and construction. After building a proud castle and stepping on the soles of the shoes, it is difficult for outsiders to imagine how angry the French are!

They would rather destroy this place than give it to the Germans as a bunker and fortifications!

So after the Battle of Paris, the French army, known as the number one in the world before the war, threw hundreds of thousands of shells at the castle and near the Loire River. They were unwilling to break Paris, but it did not mean that they were willing to keep the castle and create obstacles for their own attack.

Today, Shatodan Castle has long lost its glory. The craters and holes are telling the horror of war, and they are also destroying the civilization that originally belonged to France.

However, Adolf Hitler, who was walking to the regiment with a telegram at this time, was very willing to see this kind of picture. In his opinion, any culture that did not belong to Germany should not be preserved. For the descendants of the Germans, we should learn from what Xinhua did in Borneo and Australia, completely kill all the French, and let the great German emperor directly rule this rich land.

Of course, this is just his personal opinion, because now he is only a messenger of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment, a small army sergeant.

"Adolf, give this order to the telegraph room and ask them to send it to the division as soon as possible."

"Adolf, pour me a cup of coffee."

"Adolf, I need yesterday's casualty list."

"Adolf."

The Bavarian Infantry Regiment was a brave and warlike force, and was even responsible for the defense of the signing of the Brest contract. It was also the first time that Hitler felt the rise of the Eastern forces, and Russia, which was invincible before the war, also lost its future.

After returning to the front line, Adolf once again became an ordinary messenger. He didn't live a good life, and there was no room for his great dream.

"Adolf." The regimental commander stopped the busy Adolf with a serious look: "I need you to go to the Ago Heights in the west. The third battalion has lost contact for several hours. I must know if they are still alive!"

"Yes, regimental commander, I will bring the news of the third battalion soon!" Without saying a word, Hitler walked to the stable with a gun on his back.

Ago Heights is located on a hill bag west of Shatodan Castle, about 3 kilometers away from the castle. Looking down from the mountain bag, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding land, including the castle.

"Boom."

How far did Hitler run away? An explosion came from a distance. Countless sharp sound of breaking the air in the sunset came from the sky, and the small Ago Heights suddenly burst into flames.

"Damn French bastard!"

The dense explosion scared Hitler to tremble. He wanted to go back to report, but the commander's order was to see the third battalion, so he had to grit his teeth and run to the high ground. Seeing that he was about to reach the high ground, suddenly a shell exploded not far away, and the shrapnel plunged into the abdomen of the war horse and immediately overturned him to the ground.

The severe pain in his back almost made Hitler out of his breath, and the war horse died. He could not continue to stay here, and he could not explain to the regimental commander, so he could only grit his teeth and run to the high ground with a gun. At the foot of the mountain, the scene in front of him immediately made him take a breath and saw the dense French soldiers charging towards the high ground along the hillside.

In an instant, Hitler's head was hot and he rushed into the trenches.

"Machine guns, kill these French bastards."

"Camp commander Hahn, I'm Adolph, regimental commander." Hitler managed to find the commander of the third battalion who called for machine gun support in the melee, but before he finished speaking, a string of bullets flew over, and blood came out of the chest of the unlucky German battalion commander.

Hitler was so scared that he suddenly fell to the ground, but the task had not been completed, so he could only bend down to find a few company commanders. He was either outside the body or seriously injured, leaving only one breath left.

The dense French army kept hitting the position. Gradually, he forgot the task and greeted the French army crazily with bullets with his comrades-in-in-arms. Two Maxim machine guns became the support point of the position defense.

"Dad""

Although the scene of Maxim machine guns sweeping the front line is spectacular, the use of machine guns at night itself is to kill, especially heavy machine guns that are difficult to move, so Xinhua is equipped with a large number of light machine guns.

Boom.

The shells suppressed the machine gun with a long flame in an end. Without the cover of the machine gun, the position was caught in the wind and rain.

It may be okay if it was the British or Spanish army opposite, but Hitler met a group of French troops with red eyes and eager to revenge. After a while, a large number of French soldiers poured into the position, and the two troops strangled together with bayonets.

Hitler's cat was in the trench. After killing several unwarted French soldiers from behind with a touched pistol, he was about to find a way to retreat when he saw a bright bayonet rushing towards him.

The cold sweat brushed down!

At this critical moment, the familiar machine gun hiss suddenly sounded in the distance. Before the French soldier stabbed him, he was hit by a machine gun bullet sweeping along the trench.

Hitler, who escaped from death, suddenly felt paralyzed. He looked up and saw more than a dozen unprecedented tanks coming out of behind. After seeing the tank, there were cheers in the position, because the tank was painted with a German logo.

The appearance of the tank made the French charge in vain, and the fierce attack just now immediately turned into a hasty retreat.

Suddenly.

Just as everyone thought it was coming to an end, a French soldier crawling on the ground suddenly stood up, pulled out a grenade from his waist and was about to throw it at the nearest tank. When the grenade was about to be thrown, a man rushed out of the position in an instant and killed the French soldier with a pistol at close range.

Boom.

While the explosion was swallowed up by French soldiers, Hitler was also overturned by a heat wave, and his face and body were splashed with blood.

In the rumble of the engine, the tank group stopped, and Guderian and Ulan got out of the car one after another, and the messy position made the two frown slightly.

When they set out, they did not carry infantry, but were ready to replenish on the spot after arriving at the front line. The advantage of this was that they could save consumption, but they didn't expect that the position where they were preparing to supplement the infantry was broken like this.

"Soldier, which unit are you in?"

"Report, sir." A German soldier immediately saluted after seeing Guderian, "We are the third battalion of the 6th Infantry Regiment of Bavaria."

"Very good, where's your battalion commander?"

"Report, sir, our battalion commander died."

"It's too unfortunate. What about the company commander?"

"The company commander." The soldier lowered his head.

"They are all the best in Germany!" With such casualties, Guderian couldn't help comforting him and continued to ask, "Please tell me, what is the highest rank here now?"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers looked at Sergeant Rudolph, who had just killed the French soldiers and saved the tank. Hitler, who had just got up, didn't expect that he had become the focus, so that he didn't understand why he looked at himself. Did he do something wrong?

"Sir, Rudolph is now the highest position among us, officer!"

A sergeant unexpectedly became the highest-ranking officer among hundreds of soldiers! Not to mention Guderian, even Ulan felt a little evil, but the facts were in front of them. In addition, they urgently needed to supplement the infantry to attack San Ga-Kalai, so they didn't have time to delay here.

"Sergeant, tell me, why did you rescue the tank just now?" Guderian walked up to Hitler, looked at the thin sergeant with two moustaches, and asked.

"I." In fact, even Hitler himself did not think about why he ran out of the trench to make up for two shots, but the colonel's question must be answered, so after thinking about it, he immediately straightened his chest and said seriously, "Coloner, I'm protecting German property from infringement!"

"Very good." Guderian was very satisfied with the reply and ordered, "Sergeant, take your people and go with us!"

"Let's go together? But." Hitler was also ready to report back to the regimental headquarters, but Guderian blocked him with one sentence: "I have informed your regimental commander that new troops will arrive here soon."

Looking at the whole team of infantry, Hitler quickly asked, "Colo., but where are we going?"

"San Ga Lai, is there a problem? "Sergeant!"

"Saint-Clai?!" Hitler took a deep breath, but when he saw Guderian's cold eyes, he immediately straightened his chest and gritted his teeth.

"No problem!"
