"Da da da!"
A fighter jet of German military was using an aircraft machine gun to fire at an artillery position of British Expeditionary Force. The bullets chased the British artillerymen who fled in all directions. Many British artillerymen were hit by the bullets of the aircraft machine guns and torn into pieces.
This kind of condescending blow from the air is generally difficult to escape.
Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire broke out on the ground, and bullets fired fiercely at the German military fighter jet in the air. The fighter plane was hit and several holes were punched out in the skin on the wings. The frightened fighter immediately pulled up and fled quickly.
Anglo-French Allied Forces is not like the Russian army. Facing the air attack of German military, there is no way. With Britain and France's technology, they can easily develop anti-aircraft weapons. When German aircraft showed more and more powerful combat power, Anglo-French Allied Forces also assigned a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns to the front line, serving as the main weapon to defend German aircraft. When Britain and France's own fighters cannot compete with German military's fighters, this is the only way to fight back.
"Damn it, I almost shot down German aircraft." A British second lieutenant officer said with some regret.
However, soon he will no longer feel regretful, because the German military fighter jet has gone and returned.
After evading the British ground anti-aircraft firepower, the German military fighter jets began to counterattack. The order they received was originally to suppress the anti-aircraft firepower of Anglo-French Allied Forces on the ground and provide cover for Bomber's bombing. Now that the British anti-aircraft firepower was discovered, it was natural to do everything possible to destroy it. In this way, we can ensure that our own Bomber will not be shot down when dropping bombs.
"Da da da!"
German military's fighter aircraft's aircraft machine gun opened fire, and dense bullets were fired at this British air defense firepower point.
The bullet hit the shield of the anti-aircraft machine gun, making a crisp clanging sound and splashing into sparks.
Several British machine gunners hid behind shields, trembling with fear for fear of being hit.
When the German military fighter jet passed over their heads, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. But when they turned around, they screamed in fright. I don't know when, the second lieutenant officer fell to the ground. His head was shattered into pieces. Obviously, this second lieutenant officer was hit during the German military fighter jet attack just now.
"Sir is dead, what should we do?" a British soldier asked timidly.
"Run away, let's escape immediately. The Germany people's attack is too strong, and we can't resist it at all." Another British soldier suggested.
However, before they could finish their discussion, the German military fighter jets attacked them again. At this time, none of these British soldiers were able to escape. They were hit by aircraft machine gun bullets from fighter jets and fell into a pool of blood.
Although Anglo-French Allied Forces's ground anti-aircraft firepower counterattacked crazily, they still suffered heavy losses under the attack of German military's Air Corps fighter planes. Artillery positions one after another were destroyed by German military's Air Corps, causing Anglo-French Allied Forces's artillery fire to suffer a heavy blow.
Although, the battle has just begun. However, the situation on the entire battlefield was that Anglo-French Allied Forces was completely suppressed. Not only did their fortifications suffer heavy losses under German military's fierce shelling, but their artillery also suffered heavy losses under German military's shelling and air strikes. If this continues, no one knows how long Anglo-French Allied Forces can persist.
German military's Air Corps dispatched more than two hundred fighters each time, taking turns to attack Anglo-French Allied Forces's positions and artillery, further causing Anglo-French Allied Forces's losses to continue to rise.
In less than half a day, Anglo-French Allied Forces's artillery suffered heavy losses, so much so that they had to disperse and evacuate the artillery to avoid greater losses.
Anglo-French Allied Forces's artillery withdrew from the battle after suffering heavy losses, which freed German artillerymen from worries and could use all its firepower to attack Anglo-French Allied Forces's defenses. Under the fierce bombardment of German military, Anglo-French Allied Forces's defenses were destroyed one after another. At the same time, casualties are also increasing.
General Dekasi Terno of French 2nd Army Corps Commander rushed to the headquarters in person and reported the losses to Marshal Joffre.
"Your Excellency, during the morning's shelling and bombing by the Germany people, 2nd Army Corps suffered heavy losses. One-third of the defense fortifications we built in the past six months were lost under the fierce bombardment by the Germany people. The losses of the artillery were even more It's as high as half. What's even worse is that the Germany people's attacks are still going on, with no intention of ending. No one knows how long they will continue. If they continue like this, our troops may collapse first without waiting for the Germany people.
Marshal Joffre frowned tightly. "Is it that serious?"
"Your Excellency, it will only be more serious than what I said." Admiral Dekasi Terno looked serious.
"Okay, General, I understand. But do we have any way to deal with it now? The number of our artillery is less than half of the Germans. Even if the artillery of the other two armies is sent to the front, it can only bring the number of our artillery to 75% of the Germans. This still does not include the losses this morning. If the losses are included, I am afraid it is still only one-half of the Germans. Half. Under such circumstances, we cannot engage in artillery battles with the Germans. In that case, our artillery will only be lost faster. So, let the soldiers hide in the artillery holes! The German artillery bombardment cannot last forever. Such large-scale consumption will definitely not last long.
If possible, he certainly hopes that Anglo-French Allied Forces's artillery can launch a counterattack and defeat German artillerymen in one fell swoop. But it is a pity that they do not have this ability at all! Rather than letting all the artillery and artillery reported by our side be lost in the tragic Artillery Battle, it is better to order the artillery to hide, conserve strength, and play a greater role at critical moments.
Marshal Joffre believes that soon German military will launch a cross-river operation. By then, their preserved artillery will undoubtedly be able to play a greater role.
Of course, this will have a great impact on the morale of the frontline troops. The enemy's artillery fire was fierce, but our own artillery was silent, which would inevitably bring greater pressure to the soldiers.
