NFBE Chapter 597: The Speed That Shocked the World
Chapter 597: The Speed That Shocked the World
With the Lyons backyard fryer.
Based on the principle of one thing increasing while the other decreases.
If Leon is unlucky, then Da Yan will be lucky...
As expected, the Wehrmacht made great progress in the war in the Papal States.
The troops were divided into eight groups and the already slow Crusaders were beaten into submission.
They also captured large tracts of land around Holif, and almost the entire border of the Papal States near the Kursk Plain was taken by the Wehrmacht.
The front line advanced 300 kilometers into the Papal States.
And the most outrageous one was the 1st Armored Division led by Guderian.
With the cooperation of an infantry division, the two divisions advanced a full 20 kilometers in 500 hours.
The armored forces can reach a speed of over 50 kilometers per hour at full speed.
However, the possibility of encountering enemy resistance cannot be ruled out.
But God was kind to Guderi. Wherever Guderi went, there was almost no resistance. He only encountered resistance three times.
But each resistance could not hold off Guderian's armored forces for more than half an hour.
Guderian advanced at a rapid speed as if he had been given a cheat code.
They directly crossed the Horif-occupied area and continued to advance towards Asgard, the capital of the Papal States.
Because Guidry had learned that Fabrice had assembled an army of 30 and was trying to make one last effort for the Papal States.
That is to capture the city of Horif and keep the most important city in the southeastern part of the Papal States.
However, in order to relieve the pressure on friendly forces in the city of Holif, Guderi decisively chose to cross Holif.
He led the armored troops directly towards Asgard.
Asgard is no more than 800 kilometers away from Holif in a straight line.
After crossing Kholif, Guderian led the armored forces forward 200 kilometers in a limited time.
This directly scared the high-ranking church officials in the Papal States.
In 24 hours, it can advance 500 kilometers.
Does that mean that if I just blink, Gudli will be able to attack Asgard?
These church leaders watched as Gudri's troops advanced rapidly towards Asgard.
He panicked instantly and immediately mobilized all the troops he could to intercept Guderi.
But with little success.
Without an army of 100,000 or 200,000, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the armored forces.
The total number of garrisons in various cities within the Papal States was only about 300,000 to 400,000.
Moreover, these three or four hundred thousand were distributed all over the place. Even the capital of the Papal States, Asgard, had less than 30,000 garrisons.
The church leaders were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Finally, he set his sights on Fabrice, who had just rallied his army.
Then an order was delivered to Fabrice.
"Take your men and intercept Guderi's assault force immediately!"
When Fabrice learned of the order, he was extremely angry.
These people are more abstract than the Pope.
Although the Pope is somewhat impulsive, at least he still has his brains.
And these high-ranking officials have no brains at all...
Fabrice certainly knew that Guderian's surprise attack was intended to force him to divide his troops to intercept him.
But Fabrice knew that only by taking down Holif could the entire southeastern region be preserved.
If Holif cannot be taken, the entire southeastern region will have to be handed over to the Wehrmacht.
And even if Guderi successfully advanced two or three hundred kilometers, as long as Fabrice and his men could recapture Holif.
Therefore, even if the Wehrmacht occupied more small cities, it would not be able to completely annex the southeastern region.
Because Holif is like a nail stuck in the entire southeast region.
Both sides knew the importance of Holif, so not only the airborne division was defending Holif.
Many other armored and infantry divisions were also heading to Holif.
Fabrice looked at the order and decisively chose to tear it up and disobey it.
He knew that he had to make one last fight for the Papal States.
Even though this country is extremely dark, he still has to leave a way out for everyone...
Fabrice chose to resist the order of the Papal States and led an army of 30 to begin the siege of Horif.
Six hours…
Can we capture Holif, which has only 20,000 garrisons?
Fabrice looked at the time and immediately ordered an all-out attack.
30 people, if they were piled up, would be enough to bring Holif down!
When the top officials of the Papal States learned the news, they were instantly furious.
They angrily denounced Fabrice's disobedience, but found that no matter how much they scolded, they could not force Fabrice to order a retreat.
In the end, they chose to take action against Fabrice's family.
Trying to force Fabrice to lead his army back to Asgard.
Although some high-ranking officials wanted to stop the attack on Fabrice's family.
However, since the Pope was placed under house arrest, the ambitions of more senior officials have expanded greatly.
Without the constraints of the Pope, their obsession with power reached its peak.
They directly massacred the opposition in the high-level meeting, anyone who dared to support Fabrice.
All their properties will be confiscated and their entire families will be exterminated!
Fabrice's family was originally safe and sound, but they suffered a devastating disaster because of Fabrice's choice this time.
In principle, Fabrizio was innocent and had done great service.
But the top leaders don’t think so. No matter how great your contributions are, you are a general. As a general, you must obey orders from above!
The reason why these senior officials are so stubborn is that the Wehrmacht has broken their myth of invincibility in the past.
A mushroom bomb directly and fiercely shattered the past glory of the Crusaders, threw it underfoot, and trampled it hard.
The huge gap is too much for them to accept, so many old people are still immersed in the beautiful dreams of the past.
If you dwell on the past, there will only be one outcome: complacency and eventual destruction...
If the Papal States makes good use of Fabrice, it is very likely that they will be able to recapture Holif before the end of 24 hours...
But reality is often more magical...
They murdered Fabrice's family.
Over 300 members of Fabrice's entire family were turned into corpses overnight...
Even babies in swaddling clothes could not escape the clutches.
All the men were killed, and the good-looking women were taken by the church leaders...
Those who are not good looking will be sent directly to the front line...
The entire Fabrice family died out overnight.
Fabrice, who was commanding 30 troops at the front line to fight desperately for the last chance of survival for the Papal State, felt like the sky had fallen when he heard the news.
Fabrice's hair, which originally had some black hair, instantly turned all white.
In an instant, he looked dozens of years older, with despair all over his face.
When the generals under his command learned about this, they felt unfair for Fabrice.
"Marshal, the Papal State is treating us like this, is there any need for us to continue fighting?"
"Of course it is necessary! Because the mistakes we make will make everyone pay for us!
There are more than 1000 million people in the entire southeast. If the National Defense Forces occupy this place, then what we did in the past will make these 1000 million people atone for us!
If we don’t want them all to die here, we must capture Holif!”
Fabrice suppressed the pain and anger in his heart and looked at Holif in front of him.
I'm ready to fall here...
