The German General Command was so anxious, but when the news of the breakthrough reached the Expeditionary Force Command, it caused another reaction. Lin Wenqian, who had read the telegram, was a little surprised: "The German army was not prepared at all? The breakthrough was so neat?"

"Yes. Li Yinpei took the entire chariot battalion at once, and he had not prepared artillery fire before, and caught the Germans off guard." Zhou Sixu suddenly understood why Wang Shiqian was unwilling to dismantle the armored division below the battalion. This armored division was originally organized based on battalion and used in the same way as a battalion. It was just a smaller scale and no other injuries. "The 47th Infantry Brigade of the 24th Reserve Division of the 17th Army was stationed in this section. This pure infantry brigade cannot resist the attack of the chariot battalion, but the 86th Division of the 17th Army was stationed in Mount Baledik, which may be difficult to fight."

"Can you take down Mount Baledik?" Lin Wenqian asked. He is now in a contradiction. He hopes that the armored troops will achieve success, but also worrys that the results of the battle cannot be hidden after the success. In the end, the tactics allow Britain and France to plagiarize, causing the German army to collapse as soon as possible.

"This..." Although Zhou Sixu had a certain understanding of the enemy in front of him, he had no judgment on how the war would develop in the future. He estimated: "Mountain Baldic is not important. The key is whether the Germans in San Dizieri can defend it? If they can't defend it, then whether they can hold it or not is actually the same."

Yes, the attack on Mount Baledik is for San Dizier. If San Dizier is taken, it will still cause a sensation in the world. This is a good thing, but what should we say when facing foreign journalists and domestic journalists? Could it be that the 11th Army defeated San Dizier after a bloody battle?

"How is the 11th Army?" As soon as Zhou Sixu reminded him, Lin Wenqian immediately asked Duan Qirui's troops.

"The 33rd Division is closely cooperating with the chariot battalion, and the remaining three divisions are probably thinking about how to defeat Shengdizier. Duan Zhiquan will not miss this opportunity." Zhou Sixu said.

"Yes." Lin Wenqian nodded. The people in Beiyang have always wanted to make a name for themselves on the battlefield. Although Duan Qirui was honest, his chief of staff Xu Shuzheng was not a fool-proof character. He seized this fighter and pretended to take down San Dizier. What a glorious thing.

"Zhouzhi, are we..." Before Zhou Sixu finished speaking, he was stopped by Lin Wenqian. He said: "We can only do anything from the plan, not from the action. Since the battle has begun, let it continue, and the result will be the result. However, the 11th Army has to send a telephone call so that they cannot penetrate the chariot camp to the outside world."

"I understand." Lin Wenqian's words were equivalent to setting a bottom line for similar small actions. He immediately drafted a telegram and sent it to the 11th Army Command.

When the General Office sent the telegram to the 11th Army Command, Duan Qirui had just issued an order to change the feint to an offensive. He did not receive news that the chariot battalion broke through the German frontline defense line than Lin Wenqian; and on the way back to the headquarters from the 33rd Division's defense line yesterday, Chief of Staff Xiaofan Xu Shuzheng had already made a wait-and-see strategy for him. Now the chariot battalion's breakthrough was smooth, and the 31 and 32 divisions began to launch according to yesterday's arrangement.

The telegram sent by Zhou Sixu made Xu Shuzheng understand the ultimate intention of the General Office, that is, this battle was actually the chariot camp training tactics, which was mysterious, not the fear of being embarrassed if he had guessed before.

"Military Commander, the General Office is calling!" Xu Shuzheng smiled with the telegram.

"What is it said?" Duan Qirui was stunned and reached out to receive the telegram. When he saw that it only involved the chariot battalion and only had the words "camera to act" about the war, he looked at Xu Shuzheng and asked in confusion: "What does the General Office mean? Or not to fight?"

"The above meaning is obvious. That is whether to fight or not is all about us." Xu Shuzheng said. "The armored division is the treasure of the dynasty. The Fuxing Army has always been good at making some new names and new tactics. Today's breakthrough should be the trial training of the General Office, and I don't want Britain, France and other countries to know."

"That's right?" Duan Qirui nodded while thinking, and he suddenly said, "What if Mount Baldic is really hit?"

"If you want to keep it a secret, you can only give the credit to the 33rd Division." Xu Shuzheng said firmly.

"How is that possible?" Duan Qirui shook his head vigorously, "Whoever took the credit was the one who deserved it, how could he..."

"Military Commander, we have no final say in this matter. The Chief Executive Officer wants to hide the armored division. Then he can only push the credit to the 33rd Division, at least to the outside world." Xu Shuzheng understood Duan Qirui's personality and comforted him: "We can understand this matter in our hearts, and we have a clear conscience. It's just that the outside world misunderstood. The most important thing now is to block the French observers, otherwise the matter will be exposed."

During the expeditionary army, the French and British sent many observers, who were surveillance, and were worried that the expeditionary soldiers would live for two lives. They were not familiar with trench operations and had the intention of assisting in the battle. However, based on the principle of independent command, before the problem appeared, these foreigners were just wandering around the headquarters and did not intervene in the combat plan in depth. In addition to the 3rd Army, which was the reserve team, these observers were dispatched in five other military commands, and some important areas had observers.

Xu Shuzheng was talking about the French observer, and the adjutant outside reported to Colonel Bertrand, France, for a look. He and Duan Qirui looked at each other and smiled, "I'll go and deal with him."

"General, I heard that several divisions on the front line are attacking. Is this going to launch a major offensive?" Colonel Bertrand heard the news from somewhere, and saluted the commander Duan Qirui and asked bluntly.

"Mr. Colonel, our army just launched a feint attack and did not have a complete combat plan." Xu Shuzheng replied, "but there is intelligence that the Germans on the opposite side have withdrawn a lot of troops from the defense line of San Dizier in order to launch an attack elsewhere, so we want to see if the German army is really as weak as the intelligence says."

"Information..." The Frenchman was a little suspicious, but immediately advised: "General, based on my years of combat experience on the Western Front, it is difficult to achieve any results when launching a hasty attack. Even if we can occupy some areas, if this protrusion is not too large, it will be sieged by the German army on three sides, so you must keep the defense line balanced and consistent during the attack."

Without assembly and large-scale troops, the army's strength can indeed open a gap in the German defense line with a single division. However, the tragic thing is that the protrusion occupied in this way is too narrow. When the German counterattack, it will only be surrounded by abominable howitzers on three sides. The final result can only be to give up the protrusion and return to its original starting point.
