Margate Offshore, Germany's five 'Bavaria-class' Battleship and five 'Deutschland-class' Battleship are frantically pouring shells onto the beach.
Whether it is the 380mm Main Gun of 'Bavaria-class' Battleship or the 280mm main gun of 'Deutschland-class' Battleship, it is a fatal threat to the defenses built by the British Army. In front of the powerful main guns, these fortifications are like paper and can be easily torn to pieces.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three-seater triple-mounted 380mm Main Gun of the 'Bavaria' number Battleship, as well as the other 150mm Secondary Gun and 120mm Quick-firing Gun, were all firing wildly. After the dense explosion of artillery shells, the entire beach was shrouded in smoke. Although, it's not clear how much damage it caused to the Britain people. But the only thing that is certain is that Britain people will definitely lose a lot. Even if British Army retreats to the back, those defenses cannot be moved. Once these fortifications are destroyed, what will they do to resist the attack of the wolf-like Germany* army?
"Well done, boys. Shoot out all the shells and tear all those Britain people into pieces!" The captain of the Battleship of the 'Bavaria' stood on the deck, watching his own warships violently bombard the British Army's defensive position, and was very excited. What they are attacking now is British Empire! When British Empire shocked the world, they never thought that British Empire would still have such a day.
"Boom!"
A 380mm Shell fell into a trench. The shell exploded violently, and the trench, which was tens of meters long, collapsed in an instant during the explosion.
A machine gun fire point on a British army position was hit and the whole thing was blown into the sky. Even the machine gun was blown into parts.
Under German Navy's fierce bombardment, British Army's defensive position suffered very heavy losses. The trenches were blown down, the fire points were blown up, the barbed wire fences were in pieces, and even Landmine buried on the beach was almost destroyed in the intensive explosion.
Of course, German military's fierce bombardment did not cause British Army to suffer much loss in strength. After the German Navy warship appeared, the British soldiers had already evacuated the beach, leaving only a handful of observers on the beach. However, the serious damage to the fortifications will make British Army pay greater casualties when facing German offensive next.
Not only the British position of Margate was violently attacked by German Navy, but the British positions of Dover and Folkestone were also violently bombarded by German Navy. British Army's defensive position was severely destroyed. Except for a very few fortifications located in the blind spots of shooting that survived, the rest of the fortifications were almost destroyed.
British Army The local headquarters is located in Canterbury. Ian? Hamilton is here personally. Canterbury is only more than ten kilometers away from the beach. Therefore, when the sound of artillery came, it could be faintly heard here.
Ian General Hamilton was drinking coffee when the bombardment began. At that time, the coffee cup in his hand was not steady and fell to the ground. The spilled coffee stained his pants. However, Ian General Hamilton couldn't care less.
"What happened?" Ian? General Hamilton asked. Although he had already vaguely guessed what happened, he still wanted to confirm it.
"General, we have just received a report that Margate, Dover and Folkestone were bombarded by a large number of German Navy Capital Ships at the same time. Our defenses are being destroyed by the Germany people using the powerful Naval Gun!" the adjutant reported.
"Damn it! Damn Germany people, have their attacks finally begun?" Ian General Hamilton's face looked very ugly. Although, he had long expected that such a day would come. But deep down in his heart, he still hoped that this day would come later. In this way, they can prepare more securely.
"Report to London and say that the Germany people's attack has begun. Next, British Empire will undergo the most cruel test. If it wins, British Empire will be able to continue to exist. If it fails, British Empire will have no future." Ian Hamilton said.
"Yes, general." The adjutant immediately went to send Telegram.
"Come here, tell the generals on the front line to pay close attention to the movements of the Germany people. Once the Germany people launch an attack, they must find a way to kill Germany If the people resist, they must not be allowed to complete the landing. Otherwise, it will be almost impossible for us to drive the Germany people into the sea again!" Ian General Hamilton ordered.
"Yes, General." A staff officer immediately went to convey the order.
Ian? General Hamilton knows that Germany people cannot be allowed to gain a firm foothold in British mainland. Otherwise, they will have to pay a heavy price. If you want to defeat the Germany people, the only way is to eliminate them on the beach.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
German Navy was still firing fiercely, and the naval gunners were working hard to tear all the British Army defenses they could see into pieces. Although, this will consume a lot of shells. But as long as those fortifications can be destroyed and the obstacles cleared for Marine Corps and the army to land, it will all be worth it.
When German Navy was bombarding fiercely, German Army Air Corps also joined in. Six hundred Bomber flew to Margate, Dover and Folkestone, and launched bombings on the British Army positions in these three places. Aerial Bomb were dropped from Bomber one after another, destroying all British Army's defenses on the ground.
"God! The Germany people not only invested so many warships, but also dispatched a large number of aircraft. Do they want to wipe out our defenses? In that case, what can we do to stop the Germany people's attack!" A British Army frontline general, Panic, watched all this.
Not only the British Army generals, but also the ordinary soldiers knew that they might be in big trouble this time. German Army hadn't landed yet, so they used the navy's warships and aircraft to give them a head start! Once they lose the protection of these fortifications, it will be almost impossible for them to resist the attack of the Germany* army.
The morale of the British Army defending the beach began to decline under the shelling and bombing of German military.
