Strong Assault

Groups of British soldiers hunched low, rifles in hand, launching an attack on the German military positions under cover of darkness. Perhaps because the weather was rather hot, nearly every British soldier was drenched in sweat. Even the sea breeze could not dispel the feverish restlessness in their hearts.

Of course, the greater reason was probably the fear in their hearts. The German military's combat strength during the daytime battle had already profoundly shocked these British officers and men, especially the powerful fire support possessed by the German military, which terrified them. It meant that this attack would very likely be met with devastating German firepower. When that happened, no one knew how many would lose their lives.

"Damn Germans! Why did they invade the British Empire, forcing us to fight them to the death? I should have been at home, living happily with my wife and children!" a British soldier muttered quietly.

"Idiot, shut your mouth! Do you want the Germans to know we're launching a sneak attack? Don't get every last one of us killed because of you!" an officer snapped in a low voice.

The British soldier immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

To avoid being discovered by the German military, the British advance was extremely slow. The closer they drew to the German defensive line, the slower they moved. Everyone knew that once they were exposed, they would likely face the German military's overwhelming firepower. When that happened, no one knew how many of them would die here.

The British Army high command attached great importance to this night raid. It concerned whether they could drive the Germans back into the sea. If they succeeded, they would recover their lost territory. At the same time, it would greatly raise the troops' morale.
