"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The flares continued to rise into the sky, and the dazzling white light illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime. The British soldiers whose bodies were exposed were immediately massacred by German military's powerful firepower.
Various machine guns, rifles, Grenade Launcher and mortars poured out firepower frantically regardless of cost, causing huge casualties to the attacking British soldiers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The dense shells fell like raindrops. If the shooting elements are marked in advance, it can be ensured that these shells will fall in front of the German military position. Generally speaking, it is impossible to accidentally injure one's own people.
Countless British soldiers were torn into pieces in the explosion of artillery shells, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere.
Although, the night covered up this hellish scene. However, the smell of blood in the air became thicker and thicker, almost unbearable.
"Artillery, let our artillery fire immediately! Bombard the Germany people's position! Their firepower is too powerful, otherwise, we will not be able to hold on!" General Haig ordered.
Although on French front, he had already seen the powerful firepower of German military. However, he had to admit that he still underestimated the powerful firepower of German military. After a few months of rest, German military's firepower seems to have become more powerful. Moreover, it also has a complete set of tactics to deal with enemy night attacks. This is definitely not good news for Britain people. Because this means that it will be even more difficult for them to win this battle and drive the Germany people into the sea. Even if you pay a higher price, you may not be able to succeed.
"But general, our troops are not far from the Germany people's position. It is night again, and if we fire, we may cause accidental damage." A general was worried.
"Germany is not afraid of anyone, so why should we be afraid? Their warships even dare to open fire at sea. We cannot be worse than them!" General Haig said.
"Yes, General." The artillery general had no choice but to direct the artillery to fire.
During the day's fighting, the British artillery suffered considerable losses. Faced with the bombing of German Navy's Naval Gun and Army Air Corps, many British artillery and artillery were destroyed. The remaining cannon and artillery were less than half a day old. Even the coastal defense artillery with thick defenses also suffered heavy losses. After all, German Navy battleship's 380mm Main Gun possesses extremely powerful power. In particular, the shells fired by the 50 times caliber Naval Gun have such powerful armor-piercing capabilities that even the defense of coastal defense artillery cannot withstand it.
After receiving the order from General Haig, the British artillerymen bit the bullet and started firing. They started shelling based on the pre-marked shooting elements and the actual situation reported by observers on the front line, trying their best not to throw the shells on their own people's heads. However, in terms of shooting skills, the Britain people are indeed unable to compare with the Germany people. A lot of artillery shells still fell into the attacking British ranks, causing a lot of casualties. But at the same time, they also caused a lot of casualties to German military. In the dark, the attacking British army didn't know which side fired the artillery shells that fell into their ranks, so they could only blame it all on the Germany people.
"Boom!"
A 114mm artillery shell fell on German military's position, and several German military soldiers who were operating rifles to fire were immediately blown away. When it fell to the ground, it had become pieces of minced meat.
When more and more artillery shells fired by the British army fell into German military's position, German military's casualties also continued to rise.
"Asshole! Let the artillery suppress the artillery fire of the Britain people. Our position is too small. If the Britain people keep firing at us crazily, we will suffer heavy losses under their shelling!" German Marine Corps Commander Alexander Lieutenant General Linsingen ordered.
Under the order of Lieutenant General Alexander? Linsingen, the German military warship anchored on the sea immediately began to shift the bombardment target and began to suppress the British artillery. However, due to the influence of night, the suppression effect was not very good. Even if several Battleship's 380mm Main Gun and 280mm main guns are added, it will be the same. After all, it is necessary to bombard targets more than ten kilometers away. If it is daytime, it can be adjusted according to the impact point. But at night, the line of sight is severely restricted, and most of them can only rely on luck.
But even so, German military's fierce shelling still caused a lot of casualties to the British artillery, and the pressure on the front-line German military Army and Marine Corps was also reduced a lot.
The battle was still very fierce. Three elite soldiers of the British army, Infantry Division, frantically attacked German military's position. German military used powerful firepower to stop them. The shells falling from time to time caused great losses to both sides. But overall, the price paid by the British army is still much higher than German military.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
A British Heavy Machine Gun moved to the front line and opened fire fiercely less than a hundred meters away from the German defensive line. The dense bullets immediately killed several German military soldiers, and the rest of the German military soldiers were also suppressed.
"Mortar, Grenade Launcher, fire for me! Get rid of the Heavy Machine Gun of the Britain people!" a second lieutenant platoon leader ordered.
60mm Mortar and two Grenade Launcher started shooting immediately.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A mortar shell and two grenades launched by Grenade Launcher hit the British Heavy Machine Gun. Not only did the Heavy Machine Gun explode into parts, but the machine gunners were also torn into pieces.
The suppressed German military was able to continue firing, sieving the British troops who tried to get close to German defensive line.
"Come on! Defeat the Germany people and drive them all into the sea to feed the fish!" The British soldiers roared crazily and bravely charged towards German military's position.
However, what greeted them was indeed the intensive firepower launched from German defensive line. I don't know how many British soldiers were killed. The corpses were piled up in a thick layer in front of German defensive line. Blood flowed from the corpses of these British soldiers, dyeing the ground red.
"God! Aren't those Britain people afraid of death? We have killed so many of them, but they don't seem to be timid at all. This is different from the Britain people we met before!" A machine gunner muttered.
"The Britain people we meet now should be their elite main force. They are naturally different from those rabble. As long as we kill all these Britain people, the rest will not be a concern!" said a second lieutenant platoon leader.
