However, the Boran people did not have the confidence of the Sun Never Sets, and they threw away all the thousands of artillery pieces in one breath! The more than a thousand artillery pieces on their positions were finally put together by the Boran people!
If they just threw these artillery pieces away, they would not know how long it would take to gather so many artillery pieces again!
Jieke and the Sun Never Sets are both industrial powers with strong military production capabilities, but the Boran people do not have these!
So they were very greedy. When they found that the Jieke people were bombed and the Sun Never Sets began to retreat, they did not think about retreating to save their lives, but to transfer all their artillery pieces out!
This idea has to be said to be very stupid. The Sun Never Sets gave up this plan so decisively that they barely escaped the German artillery bombardment and did not kill too many people.
Although the Boran were the last to be hit, after the Germans bombed the British, they immediately aimed all their firepower at them. They only had five minutes more reaction time than the British!
Such a short time was not enough for them to transfer more than a thousand artillery pieces. Instead, because of the need to transfer artillery pieces, a large number of their soldiers stayed on the battlefield, and they were hit by the Germans like a catastrophic blow! The
Boran people were the last to be hit, but their casualties were the highest.
In addition to losing more than 1,500 artillery pieces, the Jieke people also lost nearly 6,000, more than 90% of the artillery!
The British army lost about 600 artillery pieces because they ran very fast, but the casualties were not many, with less than 500 casualties.
As for the Boran people, they lost 1,200 artillery pieces and more than 2,000 soldiers, which is almost twice the number of the Jieke people, and even more than all their artillery pieces combined!
The reason for this situation was that the Boreans invested a lot of manpower to transport their artillery before the Germans launched the bombardment in order to save their artillery. These soldiers included the original artillerymen, the garrison troops who performed guard and protection work for the artillery, and even some logistics and combat commanders in the rear!
As a result, when a large number of them rushed into the artillery position, the Germans launched fierce artillery fire, and then these people were gone!
……
The violent explosion and the raging fire did not completely dissipate until around 3 pm. After the senior leaders of the coalition forces figured out the losses suffered by their artillery units, they all fell silent!
More than 4,300 artillery pieces were directly lost, 3,300, a loss of more than 80%!
Now, their artillery numbers no longer have an absolute advantage, especially when the German army is equipped with all 150mm heavy artillery!
“”Everyone, how should we fight this war?”
The senior British army asked the Jacques and the Polans with a worried look. Without artillery, they would lose the ability to attack the opponent’s defense line. If they want to continue the attack, they will probably need to sacrifice their lives!
But, whose army should be sent to fill this hole?
The British Empire looked at the Jacques and the Polans. They were the world hegemons. This time they were able to send troops to participate in the war and help the Jacques protect their country. This was already a great honor. If they were asked to be cannon fodder again, it would not be justified. Therefore, the British Empire righteously handed this task to the Jacques and the Polans! The Polans felt the strength of the British Empire and looked at the Jacques.
They were instigated by Gaul to participate in this war. One battle was to obtain the Chesin area of Jacques, not They came to work for the Jekes. The price that the Polish people had paid so far in the war was especially the thousands of artillery pieces that had just been destroyed. This heavy loss made the Polish people feel painful! Neither the
Jekes nor the British could actively compensate for their losses, so they had no interest in giving it to the Jekes at this time.
If it weren’t for Cheshin, the Polish people would have wanted to just leave at this time. They were not willing to fight for the Jekes and Hans here!
The Jekes looked around and saw that everyone’s eyes were focused on them, and they had no one to rely on!
So, the Jekes had to sigh:”Well, let our people take the lead! However, without the cover of artillery, our attack will not only fail, but can even be said to be suicide, so I hope everyone will take down their remaining artillery, and then transfer some artillery from the country, so that we can have the strength to defeat the German army!”
The Czechs had nowhere to hide and could only accept the mission.
The British and Polish people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the Czechs said.
Although the Czechs made some demands, after they took the initiative to accept this mission that was no different from sending themselves to die, the demands did not seem so excessive.
This was completely within their acceptable range!
So both countries agreed to the Czechs’ demands and said they would quickly transfer weapons and equipment from their own countries.
However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
If they expect their assistance, they are afraid that it will be too late.
Therefore, the Czechs must rely on themselves. Fortunately, their own military strength is still very strong, and they already have a batch of weapons from the Austro-Hungarian Empire stored in the warehouse. At this time, we just need to transport it here, and it will only take more than a week at most.
After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czechs still left a lot of assets. At this time, in order to defend their country, they did not hide it and planned to use all these things!
However, they did not intend to let themselves be cannon fodder. They knew very well that if they attacked rashly in this situation, it would be almost the same as committing suicide.
The total population of Czech is over 1 million, but the main ethnic group, that is, the Czechs, is not large. Excluding 3.5 million Hans and 4 million Slovaks and young Hungarians and Polish, the main ethnic group, that is, the Czechs, is only about 6 million.
With a population of six million, even if 10% of the population is recruited to join the army, there are only 600,000 people. This scale is still too small, so every soldier is extremely valuable, and the loss of any soldier will weaken their strength.
If the Czechs themselves lose too many people in the war, then by then they may not be the largest ethnic group in the country, and they may change from the main ethnic group to a minority group!
This is not good news for their national sovereignty, so the Czechs can’t accept too many casualties!
So, they thought of a way: to hand over the task of cannon fodder to other ethnic groups!
There are two main other ethnic groups in Czech, one is the Germans living in the Sudetenland, and the other is the Germans living in the Moravian region. Slovaks. The one they were fighting against at this time was the Hans army, so if the Sudeten Hans were allowed to come over as cannon fodder, they might just turn against their side on the battlefield, which would not only fail to complete the mission, but would also cause trouble.
Therefore, the Czechs had only one choice!
The places where the Slovaks lived were the same as those in Hungary, which were basically agricultural areas. There was no industry in the country, so their strength was much worse than that of the Czechs, and their status in Czech was very low. It was expected that they would be pulled over by the Czechs to be cannon fodder at this time.
However, even if it was expected, it did not mean that the Slovaks would just accept their fate!
Svante, the Slovak leader who had just returned from Berlin, was furious when he learned that the Czechs were going to send his compatriots to the front line as cannon fodder to die!
“You can’t do this. We are compatriots with you, compatriots of the same country. You are slaughtering your compatriots by doing this. God will not forgive you!!”
Svante argued with reason and moved the other party with emotion, trying to persuade the other party to give up this plan, but the Jeke people were unmoved, and he was finally so angry that he cursed!
The Jeke general did not even give Svante a chance to finish his curse, and directly ordered the guards to kick him out!
Svante faced the reality. He knew that he could not convince the Jeke people to give up this plan, so he did not waste time and turned directly to Bratis to find Hans!
……
Hans’ capital, Berlin!
After Svante entered Bradis, he immediately found Dietrich and wanted to make an agreement with him to let the German army open a gap, let the Slovak army revolt on the battlefield, and then enter the city of Bradis!
Svante meant that since the Jekes had done this, they would no longer tolerate it. He decided to immediately lead the Slovaks away from Jeke’s rule, become independent, establish a country of their own, and seek protection from Hans to become Hans’ protectorate!
