Night Battle (Please Vote)

Calais, Headquarters for Operations Against Britain. Field Marshal Falkenhayn was discussing the current situation with the commanders of several other army corps.

"The Marine Corps performed exceptionally well today. All three divisions have completed their assigned objectives and established beachheads at Margate, Dover, and Folkestone respectively. It seems our opening has gone very smoothly!" Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. But whether we can truly gain a firm foothold on the British mainland will depend on tonight's battle. Tonight is the only chance the British have to drive our troops into the sea. If they miss this opportunity, they will never have another," General Kluck, Commander of the 1st Army Corps, said.

"Yes, which is why tonight is crucial. How many army troops have we sent ashore in Britain so far?" Field Marshal Falkenhayn asked.

"Your Excellency, before nightfall, the 1st Army Corps had already sent the 1st Infantry Division ashore in Britain. The 2nd Infantry Division is also in the process of landing. Once both Infantry Divisions have landed, they should be enough to deal with the British counterattack," General Kluck continued. It was not that General Kluck did not want to send more troops ashore; the beachheads simply were not large enough, and too many troops would cause severe crowding. If the British then pounded them with artillery fire, it would inflict enormous casualties on the German military. Besides, General Kluck believed that two German Infantry Divisions should have no great difficulty holding back the British Army's counterattack. In a defensive posture, the German military's firepower would be even more formidable.

The 2nd Army Corps and 3rd Army Corps had also stated that they planned to send two Infantry Divisions ashore each to help the Marine Corps hold the positions.

Field Marshal Falkenhayn nodded. Such defensive strength
