Verdun is located in the northeastern part of France.
The terrain here is flat, and since the Middle Ages, it has been an important military fortress. The few highlands available have been transformed into fortresses by the French Army. Trenches are constructed in front of the fortresses, and if necessary, infantry can enter the trenches to form a ring to protect the fortresses.
At this time, most of the trees in front of the fortresses have been cut down or destroyed by the French Army, leaving only a patch of yellow earth and sparse craters.
(The image above shows one of the Verdun fortresses: Duomont Fortress, which originally had 6 155MM cannons, 6 120 cannons, and 6 75MM cannons)
At this moment, Colonel Delion, who is sixty years old, is the commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment stationed in Verdun. He is in the fortress, anxiously holding a telescope and looking towards the German Army in the distant trenches.
