Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Forward, Forward, Forward, the Penetrated French Federation!

Mo Xiaomo was analyzing here, and the viewers in the stream were also analyzing the situation one by one.

The battle at the front ended quickly.

The city of Sedan, although it put up some fierce resistance for a while, quickly fell into a one-sided situation as the Imperial armored troops entered the city.

Moreover, it wasn’t the main force stationed here.

As long as they sent out a notice and gave the Federation enough time to buffer, it was enough.

In-game time passed quickly.

It soon turned night.

The Imperial 19th Armored Corps chose to rest in Sedan.

Looking at the map and the A Army Group dragging behind, the battle situation speculation module of Polestar Games Official Website received countless strategic predictions from netizens.

However, Guderian’s wild ideas and bold strategic intentions alone screened out almost 99.99% of the analysis predictions.

The game quickly finished a night’s rest.

At first light the next day.

Mo Xiaomo suddenly received orders for the troops to set out.

To forcibly cross the Maas River.

This order not only stunned Mo Xiaomo but also dumbfounded the viewers in the live stream.

Mo Xiaomo brought up the map in the live stream, looking at the A Army Group still far behind, at least a few days’ journey to join, so what’s the point of forcibly crossing the river now?

"Hiss——"

"Brothers, why do I kind of not understand?"

"Aren’t we waiting for the A Army Group?"

"Looking at the map here, the French Federation has already started organizing defenses in front of Paris."

"Aren’t they going to just rush over?"

"Directly capture Paris?"

The viewers in the live stream were also puzzled.

[Crossing the Maas River means you’ve completely entered the territory of the French Federation, not waiting for the follow-up troops, planning to go it alone?]

[Honestly, I don’t understand this maneuver.]

[Anyway, it’s one of the top three Imperial generals, there must be some hidden plan, right?]

[Wake up, what top three Imperial generals? This is just a game, all fictional, I bet the designers can’t play, this campaign is purely made up.]

[It must be, any normal person would wait for the main force, crossing the river is too foolish, Polestar Games boss Zhao Ming certainly doesn’t know how to play, ignorant military designs.]

[Sigh, what a waste of time, can this be called one of the top three Imperial generals? I feel that so-called Hall of Fame is just a joke.]

[What a pity, it was a good game, the author doesn’t understand the military, making up the story.]

Seeing Guderian’s actions, the viewers came to a conclusion after analyzing.

Zhao Ming knows nothing about the military, the story is too ridiculous.

Is this the standard of the top three Imperial generals?

The sarcasm in the stream also made many netizens doubt.

Watching the heat that rose and then dropped.

Mo Xiaomo didn’t know what to do either.

Could only pray that Guderian had some kind of battle plan.

Mo Xiaomo controlled the character, following the Imperial army to forcibly cross the Maas River.

But after crossing the river, the troops did not stop for a moment.

They continued forward.

This disappointed not only the viewers in the stream but also those who hoped Guderian had more tricks, as they shook their heads.

Great Xia Federation, North.

Third Armored Army Group, Seventh Special Operations Brigade.

In the combat meeting room.

Watching Guderian’s actions on the stream’s screen projection, Brigade Commander Shen Yan frowned, as he was drawn by the online teaching Blitzkrieg on the trending searches to gather people for analysis.

But this operation of Guderian’s...

Shen Yan felt a bit of a headache.

Is this the same NPC that blitzed his Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the game?

The combat staff under him looked at each other.

This....

Did the Brigade Commander get frustrated in the game and call everyone to study this Guderian’s Blitzkrieg, only for Guderian to perform at this level?

Not waiting for the main force behind, forcibly crossing the Maas River, what was he going to do?

Trying to be a hero?

Trying to capture the French Federation’s capital Paris by himself?

The brigade staff officer beside spoke:

"Brigade Commander, this...."

Before finishing, Shen Yan’s gaze sharpened, and he straightened up:

"Wait?!"

"Why is he attacking west???"

As the words fell, the others also sensed something wrong, stunned and uncertain.

Hmm?

This operation... feels strange?

Where does he want to attack?

In the stream, Mo Xiaomo, after following the troops to forcibly cross the Maas River.

The troops continued moving forward.

Everyone thought Guderian intended to command the 19th Armored Corps straight into the belly of the French Federation, the capital Paris.

However, as the map kept moving.

People in the live streaming room noticed something was wrong. Wasn’t it supposed to go straight into the heart of Paris?

Why is it moving west all the way?

In the live streaming room.

Mo Xiaomo sat in the communication vehicle, looking at the map in the live streaming room, completely bewildered.

The viewers in the streaming room were also filling the screen with question marks.

[Hiss—something’s not right, why are they moving west?]

[The advance speed is too fast, it’s two or three times that of Group A’s army behind, they’re not waiting for the main forces at all?]

[The front line is too long, if the Anglo-French Federation encircles from both sides, the entire armored army will be finished.]

[No, their speed is too fast, the Anglo-French Federation probably won’t be able to react in time.]

[Are they aiming to take Saint-Quentin? But that’s useless, the main forces won’t catch up, guarding that place is a dead end.]

The time displayed in the game at this point is May 15th.

Mo Xiaomo was watching the discussion in the live streaming room when suddenly the communication vehicle in the game became busy, and Mo Xiaomo, jotting down the orders, suddenly widened her eyes:

"Oh no, something’s wrong."

"The Imperial high command ordered Guderian to stop advancing."

"Did this rapid march not have the Empire’s approval?"

Mo Xiaomo relayed the recorded orders to the command headquarters.

Not long after, the troops started moving again.

Mo Xiaomo looked at the orders, somewhat confused:

"How come the Empire gave another 24 hours of advance time?"

"Still advancing?!"

Confused, Mo Xiaomo followed the troops in the rapid march, and quickly, in the game, the rapid march scenes skipped through a whole day and night, at this point, it had already been 24 hours.

But the 19th Armored Corps still hadn’t stopped.

This move left the live streaming room bewildered, at this moment, only a day’s journey remained to the front of Saint-Quentin.

Yet Group A’s army behind hadn’t reached the Maginot Line.

The netizens who were initially questioning Guderian now couldn’t figure out what Guderian intended to do.

Suddenly.

The troops stopped again.

The time showed May 17th.

Mo Xiaomo, as the communication soldier, became busy again.

Soon the orders came through from above, Mo Xiaomo told the live streaming room:

"The Imperial high command issued an order for Guderian to stop advancing."

"But Guderian is having an argument with the high command!"

"Oh my... what on earth does he intend to do?"

A moment later.

Mo Xiaomo received the command from the high command passed down:

"The Imperial high command orders Guderian to conduct battle reconnaissance on Saint-Quentin, but the army command post must stay here."

"We really have gone too deep now, looks like we’ll have to wait for the Empire’s main forces."

Mo Xiaomo was communicating with the viewers.

Suddenly realized something was off, the troops started moving again.

Very soon they left a ’command post’ on the spot, then the entire 19th Armored Corps set off to conduct ’battle reconnaissance’?!

Watching this maneuver, the viewers were all filled with question marks.

Isn’t it?

Is this correct???

Mo Xiaomo was live streaming the game, all the non-battle times were flying by rapidly.

May 18th.

Guderian led the 19th Armored Army Group to conduct ’battle reconnaissance’, clashing with the French Federation forces at Saint-Quentin.

Evening of May 18th.

The 19th Armored Corps led by Guderian captured Saint-Quentin, the ’battle reconnaissance’ still hadn’t stopped.

Evening of May 20th.

The 19th Armored Corps led by Guderian captured Amiens, then captured Abbeville, continuing to advance.

At this moment.

The live streaming room was dead silent.

Looking at Guderian’s marching route on the map, only then did they realize what he was actually trying to do.

Since the full-scale war started on May 10th.

The 19th Armored Corps commanded by Guderian broke through the Arden forest, crossed the Maginot Line.

Then advanced all the way west.

In just ten days, they pierced through the entire French Federation.

The impact brought by Blitzkrieg.

Astonished everyone at this moment.

The Empire’s three great generals weren’t just boasting?

Can wars still be fought like this? Can tactics still be used this way?

Lost to such generals in-game.

Seems justifiable indeed.

And the most crucial part is....that Maginot Line, they didn’t even bother attacking it directly.

He bypassed it? Bypassed it?!!!
