Calais, German military versus British mainland Combat Command. Although it was already late at night, Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn still didn't rest. As he was getting older, his health was getting worse. In order to stay up late, he even had to ask his adjutant to make a pot of coffee. If he couldn't hold it any longer, he would drink a cup to refresh himself.
"How is the situation on the front line?" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn asked.
"Your Excellency, the battle on the front line is very fierce. The Britain people are attacking our defense line crazily as if they don't care about their lives. The artillery of the Britain people is also firing fiercely without losing money, which has caused very heavy losses to our frontline troops." The adjutant reported.
"Can the front line hold on?" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn frowned. He knew that this Britain people's attack must have cost a lot of money. In order to drive German military into the sea, Britain people have invested the real main force. In this case, German military may have to pay a higher price if he wants to hold on.
"Marshal, according to the reports from the front line, although our losses are constantly rising. But overall, we have caused greater losses to the Britain people. We should be able to persevere!" the adjutant said.
Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn then nodded, and his heart that had been hanging finally returned to his stomach.
"There are only a few hours until dawn. Let the troops on the front line hold on. As soon as dawn comes, they will receive more powerful fire support. At that time, the navy and Army Air Corps will provide them with more support. Other troops of the army will also continue to land." Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The adjutant nodded.
"Also send Telegram to the Navy and Army Air Corps to let them prepare. As soon as day breaks, I hope to get the news that they have dropped artillery shells and bombs on the heads of Britain people." Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn continued.,
"Okay, Your Excellency, I will contact the navy and Army Air Corps immediately!" The adjutant immediately went to send Telegram.
Although the war was very tragic, overall, it was still very beneficial to German military. Being on the defensive side, they not only received strong fire support, but also were able to reduce their own casualties with the help of fortifications. This makes German military's casualties much less than those of the British army.
"Hold on, it will be dawn in a few hours. By then, we will get more support. The Britain people will pay an unbearable price for this!" German military officers on the front line kept cheering for the soldiers.
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied one after another. They also all knew that tonight would be the most difficult night. As long as they hold on until dawn, they will win. By then, the powerful firepower from the sea and the air will cause great casualties to the Britain people. They will be able to easily resist the Britain people's attack, and even launch a counterattack to further expand their beachhead.
"Da da da!" On German military's position, a General Purpose Machine Gun was firing wildly. Relying on the intensive firepower, this General Purpose Machine Gun and the rifles in the hands of several infantrymen made this section of the defense line more than 20 meters long resist the attack of a large number of British troops. The British army left more than a hundred bodies in front of this section of the defense line. However, the British attack was still going on. They are still trying to launch attacks, trying to tear German defensive line apart.
"Damn it, if we can't destroy the machine gun of the Germany people, we won't be able to tear apart their defense line at all!" said a British Captain officer. His company was almost crippled.
"Where are the mortars? How many mortars do we have?" asked a second lieutenant platoon leader.
"This is the last one, the others were lost in the previous battle." Officer Captain said.
"Sir, let's try again! Use mortars to destroy the machine guns of the Britain people, and then immediately launch an attack to tear apart their defense line in one fell swoop. As long as we can tear a hole in their defense line, we will be able to break through their defense line in one fell swoop!" suggested the second lieutenant platoon leader.
"Okay, let's do it!" Officer Captain nodded.
The British mortars were quickly set up, and two minutes later they began shelling German military's Heavy Machine Gun.
"Boom!"
Perhaps it was because the Britain man's luck had improved. This shell accurately hit the General Purpose Machine Gun of German military. After the shell exploded, General Purpose Machine Gun had been blown up. The machine gunner was also killed on the spot, but deputy Archer had better luck, and his skin was only scratched a little by shrapnel.
However, after losing the fire suppression of this General Purpose Machine Gun, the originally suppressed British army immediately began a fierce attack. They quickly broke through German defensive line, and German military who was guarding this line of defense was quickly overwhelmed by the influx of British soldiers like a tide.
"Quick! Quick! The Germany people's defense line has been broken through by us. Further expand the results and completely tear apart their defense line!" Commander on the British front line shouted excitedly.
More and more British soldiers also discovered that this position had been breached, and they rushed here one after another, trying to tear German defensive line apart.
German military, who was on the defensive, also discovered this.
"2nd Regiment, reinforce immediately. No matter what, we must resist the Britain people!" Alexander? Lieutenant General Lin Xingen ordered with red eyes.
"Yes, general!" 1st Marine Division 2nd Regiment rushed to reinforce him immediately.
After experiencing the daytime battle, 1st Marine Division suffered considerable losses. Therefore, after the arrival of Army 1st Infantry Division and 2nd Infantry Division, the defense was left to them. 1st Marine Division is used as a reserve team.
The addition of thousands of fresh troops immediately stabilized the originally shaky defense line. Although, some of the battles were more intense hand-to-hand combat. However, they were all pushed back by the powerful combat power burst out by German military.
In particular, some Amphibious Tank also came to help in the battle, which dealt a fatal blow to the British army. Although fighting at night, Marine Corps and Amphibious Tank have many inconveniences. However, the British troops who launched the night attack did not carry decent anti-tank weapons, which left them helpless when faced with these tanks German military. They were massacred by the tank's machine guns, and even directly crushed to pieces by the tanks' tracks. Under such circumstances, there was no doubt that the British troops were driven out of their position.
After a fierce battle, the British troops who invaded the German military position were either killed or driven out of the German military position.
