"The 117th Division captured the Ebola city of Paris and found more than 1,300 French corpses, killing nearly 200 enemies. They are currently following the wind and advancing towards the Charles area behind the poisonous gas!" In the German command outside the city, a staff officer hurried in and reported to Qingying loudly in an uncontrollable tone.

"The 45th Division occupied the Crey area and the entire Clegg Street, cleared 1,100 bodies of French soldiers, killed more than 300 enemies, destroyed 3 large defensive buildings, and seized 6 artillery!"

"The 73rd Division landed more than 2,000 French corpses and completely captured the Astrological Square; the Arc de Triomphe in Paris fell almost intact into our hands, and the iron cross flag was already flying high at its top!"

When the sun was gradually setting in the sky, the news of good news suddenly poured into the command of the Fifth Army of the German Army like a tide. Qingying, who knew the power of mustard seed gas, could still control it after learning about the victory, but Sicket next to him was shocked, his pupils were full of excitement and ecstasy. During these more than seven hours of attack, the German army had achieved great success in destroying nearly 20,000 French troops, and advanced rapidly all the way, sweeping the blockbuster city that was once firmly occupied by the French. If this situation continues, in just 12 hours, the whole city of Paris will be occupied by the German army, and the peak victory in 1871 will also be reproduced now!

"Congratulations to Your Highness, to the Emperor, to Germany!" Sickett saluted respectfully to Qingying, and the joy on his face was undoubtedly revealed. The officers in the headquarters also saluted Qingying in unison, and their hearts were stirring and mixed emotions. Most of the officers were disapproving and even questioning the commander of the army who suddenly landed on the eve of the war. They believed that the crown prince who grew up with a golden spoon would not fight at all; however, under his command, this army was in conflict with his army.

However, he achieved the most brilliant victory among the German troops on the Western Front. It directly changed the pattern of the entire French battlefield. Even though the General Staff was deliberately taken care of by the General Staff and the supply of weapons and equipment, his achievements in the border battle and the Battle of the Marne were enough to express sincere praise. Now, the Crown Prince's 5th Army has become the conquerors of Paris again, and their subordinate officers are also able to enjoy the unparalleled honor of breaking the capital of the enemy!

Qingying smiled and said, "It's not time for us to celebrate. The French in Paris's nearly 150,000 troops were not allowed to stay in place and wait for death under our poison gas attack. After they found that mustard gas was irresistible, they would definitely choose to temporarily withdraw from their positions and wait for the poison gas to dissipate before launching a counterattack. Therefore, what we need to do now is to consolidate the results we have obtained in the poison gas attack as soon as possible and be prepared to deal with the French counterattack. After we completely repel the French attack, the real victory moment will come."

Sicket's eyes flashed, and then he said with everyone. After a brief celebration, the entire command center devoted itself to the dispatch of troops and battlefield command with more intense enthusiasm. In this field, Qingying had always chosen to follow Hindenburg's approach, and delegated all the specific affairs to his young and strong chief of staff. Sicket and a group of German staff officers began to play a role. With various vague, confusion, error, and even conflicting reports coming from the front line of the battlefield, they could still accurately judge the real situation and make correct responses. Since Scharnhorst reformed the Prussian General Staff, the professional quality of the staff officers of this army can only be described as perverts. In contrast, even French colleagues who have been old rivals have to be at a disadvantage.

By the time the sun set, all German troops had made amazing breakthroughs. The French defenders, which originally occupied more than 40% of the city, were suddenly compressed into a few blocks less than one-tenth of the city during one day. All landmark buildings, including the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, were lost. With the heavy neighing of German mules and horses, hundreds of large-caliber howitzers were dragged into the wide and flat star square in the center of the city, and then set up on the spot to continue the French army.

Thunder bombarded in the old city. Before, due to too many buildings in Paris, these heavy artillery had no ideal ballistics at all. But now in the spacious open space, they finally had the opportunity to show their strength. For a moment, the German heavy artillery roared like thunder, and a large number of heavy artillery shells danced angrily, and then rushed down from a high altitude. The building houses controlled by the French army immediately collapsed and rocks exploded, and fragments burst out; the booming flames rose, reflecting the bright sunset of the setting sun in the West.

After entering the night, the mustard gas emitted by the German army in the early morning had almost dissipated. The French army, which had retreated in advance, immediately launched a large-scale attack, rushing towards the German soldiers in front of them like spring water that opened the gate to release floods. Gallieni, who was forced to the desperate situation, could no longer care about the two huge uncontrollable risks of night street fighting, and the difficulty in distinguishing enemies and friends, and played all the cards in his hand; if he did not take back the position at this time, and wait until the Germans attacked another poison gas during the day, everything would be over!

For a time, the gunshots in the night sky in Paris were as dense as heavy rains, and from time to time, accompanied by huge explosions, the instant light shone brightly on a messy and bloody battlefield. Bullets flew away, and people flashed; the officers and soldiers of the German and French armies in the ruins mixed together and attacked each other. If someone could hold a pass at this time and crossed the entire battlefield of the Sicheng City of Paris from beginning to end, he would have passed more than 20 times in the troops of the German and French armies in less than 5 kilometers. The battle has lost all the rules, and there are only the most primitive and bloody killings. The two sides penetrated each other and fought each other. The troops were disbanded, retreated, or hit the enemy head-on and were wiped out, or merged into friendly groups to continue fighting with the enemy.

In this messy night melee, the German army gradually gained the upper hand. In terms of morale, the expectation of the soon-to-be-capture capital, winning unprecedented honors and victory in the war was enough to make the German soldiers fight hard, and their courage was no less than that of the French army with deep hatred. In terms of equipment, all German troops had a certain number of submachine guns, and the widely popular grenades made them able to gain more first in this close-range encounter. In terms of combat will and literacy, by Plu

The soldiers trained by the cradle are the first-class combat weapons of this era. Their calmness, perseverance, rigor and well-trained are all difficult for French soldiers to beat their long-term reforms. The reason why the French army was able to achieve low combat losses that were better than their opponents in street battles was entirely due to the ubiquitous black gun hole position during the defensive war and the skillful combination of mine traps. Now when it comes to purely fighting for hard power, their innate shortcomings are reflected without reservation.

The German officers and soldiers on the front line spontaneously made the most correct decision to stand for help when they lost contact with their superiors; while in the rear of the German army, Sickett dispatched troops and formed a series of vigorous reinforcements, like an anvil, and ran through the chaotic battlefield of constant fire. After a night of fierce fighting, the German army, who had been prepared for the French counterattack, stabilized the situation almost everywhere. The French army not only did not make any substantial progress, but also suffered extremely heavy casualties, and its defensive ability in the remaining areas was reduced sharply. The waning moon was hidden, and the morning light first appeared. When the French commander Gallieni received the battle reports sent back by the various troops in the early morning, the heart of the French city defense commander Gallieni was already bitter, depressed, sad, and lost. This most critical counterattack was declared a failure, and the fall of Paris was almost unchangeable!

Early in the morning of that day, the German army launched a general attack on the last city where the French army occupied. As the wind direction suitable for poison gas attack had changed, Qingying saved these killing weapons and instead launched an attack on the city with conventional weapons. The German army roared day and night, and giant airships bombed each other, pouring countless explosives into the city.

The buildings and houses of the past collapsed in the huge red-colored fire that burst out on them; dust rolled and fragments burst into pieces, and their momentum was like huge waves rolling, and the mountains collapsed. French officers and soldiers were either hit by the collapsed cement beams and slabs, and their bones were broken, becoming a pile of tragic and vague flesh and blood; or were penetrated into the body in various fragments, blood flowing all over the ground, and died on the spot; or they were evacuated in a hurry from the defensive building and quickly fled backwards. At present, there were no more buildings left in the city occupied by the French army, so the German army decided to use artillery fire to directly use the most primitive power to eliminate all cleverness.

The deafening explosions roared and bursts of thunder. After three days of fire preparation, the area where the French army was located had almost become scorched earth. All the buildings either completely became a piece of broken ruins or were destroyed by broken walls and pillars, just like the ancient Roman beast arena, only half of the walls that were struggling to support. Under the bombing and plowing of 100,000 artillery shells and thousands of tons of bombs, the German army almost forced the street fighting with buildings into open fields; they stepped on countless building fragments of large and small, and launched a final charge towards the French army defending Paris.

At this time, Gallieni still had more than 100,000 troops in her hands. However, the French officers and soldiers who had experienced consecutive bloody battles were already extremely tired, and the German gas war caused widespread fear and pessimism. With almost no danger to defend, Gallieni had to be forced to withdraw from Paris to preserve a trace of fire strength for the French army. (To be continued...)
