Groups of British soldiers, with their waists bent and rifles in hand, launched an attack on German military's position under the cover of darkness. Perhaps because of the hot weather, almost every British soldier was sweating profusely. Even the sea breeze could not reduce the heat in their hearts.
Of course, the more reason may be the fear in their hearts. During the daytime battle, the combat effectiveness displayed by German military shocked these British officers and soldiers, especially the powerful fire support possessed by German military, which made them very frightened. Because this means that their attack this time will most likely encounter German military's powerful firepower. By then, I don't know how many people will lose their lives because of this.
"Damn Germany people! Why did they invade British Empire so that we had to fight them to the death. Originally, I should have stayed at home and lived a happy life with my wife and children!" A British soldier muttered quietly.
"Idiot, shut up. Do you want the Germany people to know that we are launching a sneak attack? Don't kill all of us because of you!" an officer lowered his voice and cursed.
The British soldiers immediately shut up and did not dare to say another word.
Because they wanted to avoid being discovered by German military, the British army advanced very slowly. The closer they get to German defensive line, the slower their speed becomes. Everyone knows that once exposed, what awaits them is probably the powerful firepower of German military. By then, they don't know how many people will die here.
British Army's top management took this night attack very seriously, as it was related to whether they could drive the Germany people into the sea. If successful, they will regain lost ground. At the same time, it will boost the morale of the troops. If Germany people want to landing in Britain and defeat them again, it will not be that easy. If they fail, then they will not be able to stop German military's main force landing in Britain. At that time, they will have to have a decisive battle with the main force of the German Army. In the end, it would be very difficult for them to defeat German Army, or even cause greater damage to the German Army.
"Have the troops already set off?" Hamilton asked his adjutant.
"Yes, General. Each of the three main group armies sent three elite Infantry Division to participate in this night attack. There are not many troops landed by Germany, and in the case of a surprise attack, they should not be able to withstand our attack," the adjutant said.
Hamilton shook his head. "Germany people are not fools, and they also know that tonight is the most difficult night for them. As long as they survive tonight, they will truly gain a foothold in the Empire's homeland. It will not be easy for us to defeat them. Therefore, they will definitely be prepared tonight."
"General, that means it's less likely that we can survive the night attack?" the adjutant was a little nervous.
"Even if the Germany people know that we are going to launch a night attack, they don't have a good way to defend themselves. In the end, it will still be a confrontation between the strengths of both sides. If God protects us, we may really be able to defeat the Germany people!" General Hamilton said.
"God will definitely protect British Empire, and we will definitely defeat the Germany people!" The adjutant looked determined.
The frontline generals of the British army also believe that God will bless them. That's why I launched this night attack desperately, hoping to use this opportunity to drive the landed German military into the sea in one fell swoop.
A British soldier was walking. Suddenly, he stopped and his expression changed drastically.
"Idiot? Why don't you leave quickly?" an officer cursed.
"Sir, I seem to have stepped on Landmine!" the soldier said with a sad face.
"What? Landmine? God! Germany people actually buried Landmine!" The officer almost got up.
The surrounding British soldiers also felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy and did not dare to move for fear that they would also step on Landmine.
"Sir, what should I do?" the soldier asked.
"Don't move! I order you not to move from now on. I'll find a way!" The officer also looked anxious.
However, he no longer has to worry. Because, someone else stepped on Landmine.
"Boom!"
An unlucky guy stepped on the Torpedo buried by German military. Not only did he blow himself into pieces, but he also exposed the British army's actions.
Immediately afterwards, Landmine exploded one after another. The losses caused to the British army were secondary. The real greater losses were mainly due to the exposure of their plans. This also means that they will be hit by German military's fierce firepower.
"Damn it! I stepped on Landmine!" General Haig's face suddenly turned livid.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
On the German military position, the soldiers were awakened when Landmine rang. Sleeping in their clothes, they immediately held their weapons and prepared to fight.
Mortars fired flare after flare into the sky. The dazzling white expanse dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surroundings. The figures of the British soldiers were also fully revealed under the white light of the flares.
"Fire!"
German military's front-line commander immediately issued the order.
"Da da da!"
Squad Automatic Weapon and General Purpose Machine Gun started firing wildly. Orange flames flashed at the muzzle of the gun, and the dense bullets formed a steel storm, shrouding the attacking British soldiers. Countless British soldiers were shot and fell to the ground screaming.
"Damn it, rush!"
The British officers shouted loudly. Since a sneak attack is no longer possible, the only option is to launch a force attack. If they escape, they will leave their backs in front of the Germany machine gun, causing greater casualties.
"For the British Empire, charge!"
A large number of British soldiers, shouting slogans and braving a hail of bullets, launched a fierce charge towards the German military position. However, what greeted them was the powerful machine gun firepower, mortar and Grenade Launcher firepower on the German military position, as well as rifle bullets in the hands of ordinary soldiers.
On the rear artillery position, 75mm Field Gun and 105mm Light Howitzer also started shooting. This is the cannon equipped by Infantry Division that landed. However, the 150mm heavy-duty Howitzer is too heavy and there is no complete loading and unloading equipment, so it has not been loaded and unloaded yet.
Naval Warship, which was anchored on the sea, also started shelling immediately. A series of small and medium-caliber Naval Gun began shooting. The power of the large-caliber Naval Gun is too great, and the distance between the two sides is too close. In order to avoid being accidentally injured, the large-caliber main gun did not fire. But even so, the powerful firepower is enough for Britain people to drink a pot.
