"Crunch, crunch!"
The tracks of the tank crushed the ground, making a sound that sounded like compression. The Anglo-French Allied Forces soldiers on the defense line were even more numb. Some timid people were so scared that they peed their pants. If the officers hadn't been suppressing them, they might have turned around and fled. When facing these steel monsters, everyone will have fear.
"Tank Cannon, aim for me. German tanks is not indestructible. As long as our Tank Cannon can hit them, we can destroy them!" A French officer encouraged the gunners.
Several gunners, despite being very frightened, still carried out the order and operated a 37mm Anti-Tank Gun, preparing to attack a tank of German military.
"Fire!" Following the officer's order, the Tank Cannon opened fire.
"Boom!"
The solid Armor-piercing Shell flew out of the gun barrel with a roar. In the blink of an eye, the shell hit a German military tank. The front armor of the tank was like tofu, easily cut open by Armor-piercing Shell. Fragments shot out in all directions, instantly killing the tank soldiers inside. At the same time, the shell also hit the ammunition depot behind the tank, causing a fatal explosion. The entire tank burned into a fireball.
"Well done, we have killed German tanks. Keep up the good work and kill another German tanks." The officer shouted.
However, they will never have the chance to destroy another German tanks. After German military's tank realized the threat, it immediately launched an attack. A shell hit the artillery group. Tank Cannon was overturned, and several gunners were killed.
Although, facing German military's powerful Armored Forces attack, a very small number of Anglo-French Allied Forces officers and soldiers chose to resist. Their resistance also caused certain casualties to German armored forces. However, overall, these casualties were very limited.
Anglo-French Allied Forces's resistance is like a mantis using its arms as a chariot, and will be easily crushed by German armored forces.
Especially after German military's Air Corps appeared on the battlefield, bombing and strafing the anti-tank firepower points of German military made the anti-tank troops of Anglo-French Allied Forces, which had already suffered heavy losses, even worse. In such a situation, the consequences can naturally be imagined.
The tank's tracks easily crushed the barbed wire fence, directly crushing it onto Anglo-French Allied Forces's position.
"Da da da!"
The machine gun on the tank began to fire, and the dense bullets were massacred on the Anglo-French Allied Forces position, beating the Anglo-French Allied Forces soldiers who had not had time to escape into a sieve.
"Go to hell! Damn Germany people!" A French soldier, holding a Explosive Pack, rushed towards the German military tank. However, before he could get close to the tank, he was knocked to the ground by machine gun fire from the tank.
More and more tanks entered Anglo-French Allied Forces's position and began to slaughter these poor soldiers. Countless German military infantrymen who followed the tanks also took the opportunity to attack Anglo-French Allied Forces's position. With the assistance of tanks, they wiped out the Anglo-French Allied Forces soldiers on the position.
Anglo-French Allied Forces, which suffered heavy losses, began a large-scale retreat. However, on the south bank of Marne Defense Line, Anglo-French Allied Forces only has two lines of defense left. After the first line of defense is breached, German military will immediately launch an attack on the second line of defense. Anglo-French Allied Forces It is almost impossible to resist. Under such circumstances, where can they retreat to?
"God! Run away, we can't withstand the Germany people's attack."
"Cowards, you cowards, come back here." A British officer shouted.
But then a tank rushed in front of him. The tank ran directly over his body, and the severe pain caused him to let out a heart-rending scream. After the tanks passed by, all that was left was a puddle of meat on the ground. Long bloodstains appeared on the ground along with the tracks of the tank. You can see that there is a lot of meat foam in the gaps between the tank's tracks. A German military soldier happened to see this scene. Then, he bent over and vomited.
Facing German armored forces's attack, Anglo-French Allied Forces's first line of defense was broken through without even lasting an hour. The remaining troops fled to the second line of defense in embarrassment.
However, the officers and soldiers of Anglo-French Allied Forces obviously had no confidence at all as to whether they could hold the second line of defense. German military used tanks on a large scale during the attack. The powerful attack power of this armored weapon was really unstoppable for them.
"Your Excellency, the first line of defense has been broken through. The Germany people will attack the second line of defense soon. It is estimated that before noon, our second line of defense will also be broken through. The Germany people will completely break through the entire Marne Defense Line." General Foch had a wry smile on his face.
Although, they had already expected such a result. However, they did not expect that German military's attack would be so fast and violent, so fast that they had no way to stop it.
"Once the second line of defense is also broken through, our troops stationed at Châlons-en-Champagne, Épernay and Thierry will probably fall completely into the encirclement of Germany people. By then, these troops will only have a dead end." General Foch continued.
Although, French 2nd Army Corps, 4th Army Corps and British Expeditionary Force 2nd Army Corps stationed in these three cities have suffered heavy losses. However, there are still many troops persisting in fighting. If the second line of defense is also breached, then these three cities will be completely surrounded by German military. For the Anglo-French Allied Forces officers and soldiers trapped in these cities, the consequences can be imagined.
"There is nothing we can do. We have tried our best, but we still cannot resist the Germany people's attack." Marshal Joffre sighed.
"Yes, Your Excellency. We have tried our best." General Foch said.
This time, failure was inevitable. However, this is not because of their own reasons, but because the Germany people are too powerful. So powerful that even if they try their best, they are no match for the Germany people.
"The troops have suffered too many losses and cannot continue to fight like this. Otherwise, collapse is not far away." Marshal Joffre said. In his heart, it seemed that he had already made up his mind.
"Order the troops to retreat! 2nd Army Corps, 4th Army Corps, 6th Army Corps, 8th Army Corps, 9th Army Corps and British Expeditionary Force 2nd Army Corps, evacuate to Paris. 3rd Army Corps and 5th Army Corps, evacuate from Verdun to the south." Marshal Joffre ordered.
