Early in the morning, Xia Fei, who had a good sleep, got up on time at eight o'clock. After breakfast, he strolled along the woodland path beside the command post with his large belly protruding.

Kanes, who was only half the size of Xia Fei, followed beside him cautiously, reporting the battle situation from the previous night:
"We failed to recapture Duomeng Castle as expected."
"The Germans were well-prepared. They deployed a new type of gas that can be fired with shells into our positions."
"This increased the difficulty and danger of night battles."
...
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Xia Fei's eyes. He responded nonchalantly:
"Ultimately, it was their lack of determination to attack."
"As long as the interference of the gas is removed, the losses can be almost negligible. We can still successfully recapture Duomeng Castle."
