"General, the 8th Infantry Division reports that they have come under attack from German Armored Forces. The frontline units have suffered heavy losses and are about to be unable to hold out," a staff officer reported to General Haig.
"Armored Forces?" General Haig's expression turned grave as well.
On the French front, he had seen firsthand just how formidable the German Armored Forces were. The Anglo-French Allied Forces' sturdy defensive lines could be easily torn open beneath the assault of those tanks. Now that the Germans had directly committed their Armored Forces to the attack, it undoubtedly meant they were getting serious.
"Tell the 8th Infantry Division to hold for one hour no matter what. Also, immediately dispatch the 10th Infantry Division to reinforce the 8th Infantry Division," General Haig ordered.
He knew full well that a British infantry division stood no chance of holding off a German armored division. Even two infantry divisions would be hard-pressed to do so. All he could hope for now was that the British infantry could hold on and buy him more time to redeploy his forces.
"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to send a Telegram.
"Send a Telegram to Theater Headquarters. We urgently need tank reinforcements! Request that the tank forces enter the battle and deal with the Germans!" General Haig immediately issued another order.
"Yes, General." Someone promptly went to call Theater Headquarters.
At General Hamilton's request, more than half of the British Army's tank forces had been stationed in Canterbury, specifically to counter the German military's powerful Armored Forces. Although the tanks equipped by the British Army were considerably inferior to those equipped by the German Army, their performance was fairly decent after improvements. At the very least, they had solved the problem of having none at all.
