"General, we finally tore through the Germany people's defense line. However, they were eventually driven out. The Germany people even used tanks for this!" an officer reported to General Haig.
"Damn it!" General Haig couldn't help but curse. He was keenly aware that this seemed to be their only chance to break through the Germany defense line. If you miss this opportunity, it may be even more difficult next time.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning on August 22, and there were still three hours until daybreak. At that time, the Germany people will definitely launch a crazy fire attack on the British army. General Haig doesn't think that the British army can hold on under the fierce shelling by German Navy and the fierce strafing and bombing by German aircraft. By then, what awaits the troops will most likely be a huge rout.
"No, we can't just admit defeat. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to defeat the Germany people." General Haig secretly warned himself. If they fail to achieve their predetermined goals this time, what awaits them will be the attack of German military elite troops. When the time comes, will they still be able to resist? Anyway, General Haig doesn't really believe it. Even though, Margate assembled two British army groups with a total of 400,000 men. But he still had no idea at all.
"Order 4th Infantry Division, go into battle! This time, we must tear apart the Germany people's defense line!" General Haig gritted his teeth and issued the order. With no other option, he could only mobilize more reserves to join the battle.
Coincidentally, the British troops 2nd Army Corps and 3rd Army Corps also felt the urgency of time. In order to tear German defensive line apart, they made a desperate move and continued to invest more reserves into the attack. If it weren't for the fact that German defensive line was relatively small and could not accommodate more troops to participate in the attack, they might have invested more troops. Of course, under the current circumstances, if more troops are invested, the formation will often be very dense during the attack. In that case, the troops will only suffer more heavy losses under the intensive firepower of the Germany people.
Fierce fighting took place on the beach on the west coast of Dover Strait. Hundreds of thousands of British troops and German military elite troops were engaged in the most brutal fighting on this beach. There was already a thick layer of corpses piled up on the beach, and the sand was soaked with blood. The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it made people want to feel sick.
But even so, no one still cares. What they care about is how to defeat the enemy and eliminate the enemy. This is related to the fate of both countries. Therefore, these brave soldiers could only put life and death aside and devote themselves to killing. Only by killing all the enemies or being killed yourself can you stop.
"Kill!"
A group of British soldiers rushed towards German defensive line, and immediately, a brutal hand-to-hand battle began. The soldiers stabbed the bayonets in their hands fiercely into the enemy's body. The obstructive feeling of the bayonet piercing the human body, coupled with the miserable howl coming from the enemy's mouth, gave people a creepy feeling. However, generally speaking, not many people would care about this on the battlefield. They have to be more ruthless. Otherwise, they might be the ones who lose their lives.
Under the fierce fighting between the two sides, time passed little by little. German defensive line, despite being broken through several times. However, after the reserve team of German military joined, they were able to drive the British troops out of their position every time and firmly control the position in their own hands.
The cannons on both sides also kept roaring. German military suffered considerable losses under the fierce bombardment of the British artillery. But at the same time, the artillery shells fired from the German military warship at sea also caused heavy losses to the British artillery.
"How is the situation on the front line?" General Hamilton was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"General, we broke through the Germany people's defense line several times. However, in the end we were beaten back by the Germany people. The troops participating in the attack on the front line suffered very heavy losses. Several army groups have already More reserve teams have been dispatched to participate in the attack, but they still failed. The Germany people are still firmly controlling their defense lines. The adjutant reported.
"Damn it! After losing so many troops, are you still unable to break through the Germany people's defense line? How can we continue this battle!" General Hamilton couldn't help but curse.
If they cannot drive the Germany people into the sea, this means that they may have to face a tough battle in the future. This is very detrimental to the British Army.
Landing on beaches can often cause greater casualties to Germany people. If this advantage is given up, the British army will not be German military's opponent in the field. Even though they have a huge advantage in military strength. However, even the elite troops are no match for German military, let alone the recruits who have just been recruited and picked up weapons. If they were actually sent to the battlefield, they would probably only become a drag.
"Send Telegram to the frontline troops so that they can attack regardless of the cost without losing money. We are running out of time and we must hurry up. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!" General Hamilton said.
At this juncture, he could only continue to put pressure on the frontline generals. But even General Hamilton himself doesn't know that it plays a role in this.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, at the German Army Air Corps airport on the coast of Calais, ground staff were refueling the plane and adding ammunition. The pilots were having breakfast. Although, it's not bright yet. But they must prepare for battle in advance. As soon as daylight came, they had to take off immediately.
On the west coast of the strait, the army and Marine Corps are fighting the enemy desperately. If they cannot take off in time to provide support to the army and Marine Corps, the frontline troops will definitely suffer greater losses.
At 4:30, the pilots boarded the flagship aircraft one after another. At this moment, there was a glimmer of light on the horizon.
Twenty minutes later, the command tower gave the order for the fighter plane to take off.
One after another, fighter jets and Bomber took off from the artillery shells and flew to the west of the strait. At the speed of these aircraft, it only takes ten minutes for them to fly over the battlefield.
On the frontline battlefield, both the British troops on the offensive side and German military on the defensive side were exhausted at this moment. The only thing that makes Germany people happy is that the defense line is still in their hands. And their counterattack is about to begin.
