"Sir, the Britain people have built a solid defensive position in front. The firepower points are all located in our blind spot, and it is difficult to destroy them!" A second lieutenant officer reported to a Captain company commander.
Captain Company Commander couldn't help but frowned. "Is it feasible to send snipers to go around and attack them?"
"Sir, the sniper has already tried, but Britain people are very cunning." the second lieutenant reported.
"Contact the battalion headquarters, we need reinforcements. Request artillery to bombard this area. I want to see if the Britain people's position can withstand heavy artillery bombardment." Captain company commander ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Their requests were conveyed to Division Headquarters at all levels. Division Headquarters immediately gave the order to the artillery position. Coincidentally, a 150mm heavy Howitzer position has just completed its support mission. After receiving the request from Infantry Company, they were responsible for the bombardment.
Six 150mm heavy-duty Howitzers immediately began to rotate their muzzles and aimed at the predetermined target.
"Fire!" With the Commander's order, six 150mm heavy-duty Howitzer began a violent bombardment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With loud noises, the shells roared away one after another.
Paris In the urban area, this Infantry Company of German military is still waiting. The soldiers lay down in the bunker to avoid being affected by their own artillery fire later. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Soon, a whistling sound sounded in the sky.
"Coming, coming!"
Veterans who have been baptized by the flames of war know very well that this is the sound produced by artillery shells cutting through the air at high speed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Soon, shells fell from the sky one after another, hitting British positions. The shells exploded, and chimneys rose up from British positions. The air wave swept around, and a large amount of earth and rocks were thrown around. There were even many soldiers who were directly swept up by the air waves.
German military's soldiers seemed to be shocked by the huge power.
"God! This is clearly the power of 150mm Heavy Artillery! I didn't expect that the superiors would actually use 150mm Heavy Artillery to support us." Captain Company Commander murmured. He originally thought that it would be good if he could get support from 105mm Howitzer. If they are unlucky, maybe only 75mm Field Gun supports them. But now, it was completely beyond his expectation.
Of course, the support of large-caliber heavy artillery is undoubtedly of huge benefit to them. British positions, under the fierce bombardment of these 150mm Heavy Artillery, is turning into ruins bit by bit. The British soldiers stationed in this position knew without thinking that they must have suffered heavy losses. This allows German military to cause almost no casualties when attacking here.
German military's fire support lasted for ten minutes. In these ten minutes, more than two hundred 150mm Shell hit the British position. When the smoke cleared, the British army's position had become a mess, with large craters everywhere. As for the British soldiers stationed in this position, they have disappeared. Only the stumps of limbs and broken arms were left on the ground, and there were even pieces of minced meat. These all show how terrifying the shelling just now was.
When the soldiers of German military walked onto this position and saw this scene, every one of them turned pale. Even after seeing the piles of minced meat, he vomited. It is estimated that they will not want to eat meat for a long time.
When German military called for artillery support in large numbers, Anglo-French Allied Forces simply couldn't resist. The fortifications they built were simply unable to withstand heavy artillery bombardment. And their own artillery had almost been lost a long time ago. German military's artillery fire suppression, coupled with air strikes, made Anglo-French Allied Forces's artillery the first unit to be disabled in this battle. The remaining artillery units could no longer play a significant role due to heavy losses. It can be said that this battle has completely evolved into a battle where Anglo-French Allied Forces is passively beaten.
British Expeditionary Force 4th Army Corps's position is located near the Catholic church on the north bank of the Seine River. It is also an underground headquarters. After all, the command post on the ground is too dangerous. Once it is shelled or bombed by German military's heavy artillery, it may be destroyed. General Allenby, you cherish your life very much.
"General, 33rd Infantry Division has lost more than half, and the division commander requested to retreat." A staff officer reported to General Allenby.
"Retreat? Their defense area is only a few kilometers away from my headquarters. If they retreat, won't the Germany people want to attack my headquarters directly? Tell them not to retreat!" General Allenby ordered.
"Yes, General."
A few minutes later, another staff officer reported that the British army 37th Infantry Division requested support.
"Tell 37th Infantry Division that I don't have any reinforcements in my hands. Therefore, there is no way to support him anymore. Now, they can only rely on their own strength to persist." General Allenby said.
General Allenby, has been made very impatient by the series of news of failure. After Battle of Paris started, Anglo-French Allied Forces has been suppressed. German military used heavy artillery and aircraft to cause them great losses. It can be said that at every moment, their soldiers were killed by the Germany people's shelling or bombing.
What's even worse is that as German military's attacks become more and more fierce, it means that Anglo-French Allied Forces can't hold on for long in Paris city. This is obviously unacceptable to General Allenby.
He didn't want to be killed by a cannonball or a bomb from the Germany people in a daze. As the noble general British Army, he still wants to continue living.
"Damn, we can't go on like this. We can't beat the Germany people at all. If we continue to fight, we will only die here. This is the capital of French, French and Germany people should fight to the death. But we don't have to fight Germany people for French's capital?" General Allenby thought.
He even started to complain about Sir French. Why did he order their group army to defend Paris together with French? Doesn't this clearly mean that they are going to die? When he thought of this, General Allenby became extremely impatient.
"No, I can't die, I have to continue living. I have to go back to Britain, I can't die here." General Allenby murmured. As he kept repeating this sentence, his eyes became more determined.
