"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Dover Strait, German Navy's five ships'Bavaria-class'Battleship, five ships'Kaiser class'Battleship, five ships'Z Deutschland-class' Battleship and five ships 'Braunschweig-class' Battleship are using 380mm Main Gun and 280mm main guns to launch artillery attacks on Canterbury.
Although, the main guns of 'Deutschland-class' Battleship and 'Braunschweig-class' Battleship are both 280mm main guns, with limited power. But there is no big problem when hitting Canterbury ten kilometers away. It can also cause huge casualties to the British troops stationed here. Needless to say, the 380mm Main Gun of 'Bavaria-class' Battleship and 'Kaiser class' Battleship have a maximum range of more than 20 kilometers, which is enough to cover the entire Canterbury and surrounding areas within their maximum range. The power of 380mm Main Gun is also more powerful.
In addition, five 'Wittelsbach-class' Battleship, five 'Caesar? Frederick III-class' Battleship and four 'Brandenburg-class' Battleship, which originally provided fire support for 3rd Army Corps and 3rd Marine Division, also joined in. After the British army retreated to Maidstone, it had far exceeded the maximum range of these Pre-dreadnought main guns. Therefore, they can only change the target. It just so happened that the main force of the British army Southeast War Zone was gathered at Canterbury, and German military just needed to use powerful artillery fire to attack them and cause them greater casualties.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Continuous explosions continued to sound at Canterbury. The battleships of German Navy fired High-Explosive Shell. Each shell exploded and left a huge crater on the ground. Buildings or animals within the killing radius will pay a heavy price.
"Boom!"
A 380mm Shell hit a British artillery hole. The powerful 380mm Shell directly destroyed the shell-proof hole, and hundreds of British soldiers were buried inside. The British soldiers outside quickly began to dig, trying to rescue their comrades inside. However, without sufficient mechanical equipment, it is undoubtedly very difficult to dig with bare hands. When the British soldiers buried inside were dug out, they were basically silent.
"Boom!"
A 280mm artillery shell hit a five-story building in Canterbury city. The building collapsed instantly, and a group of British soldiers passing by on the street below were killed.
The continuous fierce bombardment by German Navy has caused a lot of casualties to the British army. At the same time, this also caused the morale of the British army to continue to decline.
Many British soldiers were too frightened to leave the barracks, and even huddled directly in the shell-proof caves. Although, the anti-gun holes they dug were not very defensive in front of German military's large-caliber Naval Gun. Once hit, it is likely to be destroyed. However, this gave them some psychological comfort.
"Buzz buzz!"
The fighter plane of German Army Air Corps once again visited Canterbury. More than two hundred Bomber, under the cover of hundreds of fighter planes, bombed the loss of Canterbury.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Aerial Bomb one after another, like dumplings, whizzed and hit the Canterbury urban area.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There were dense explosions, and a city area was reduced to ruins during the bombing. The building was completely destroyed, and the British Army barracks and defensive positions there were also completely destroyed.
"Da da da!"
The fighter jets that completed the action of covering Bomber began their massacre after Bomber returned home. These fighter jets searched everywhere for traces of British soldiers. Once discovered, immediately use aircraft machine guns to shoot them and kill them. This kind of killing game has become the favorite thing of German Army Air Corps fighter pilots.
Almost every time Army Air Corps launches an action, it will cause considerable losses to the British army.
"Asshole! How could this happen?" General Hamilton looked at the daily losses and was almost going crazy.
On the 28th, German military began to advance towards Canterbury. However, German military's advancement speed is very slow, and it seems to adopt a steady and steady strategy. But German Navy's shelling and aircraft bombing were very violent. On the 28th alone, more than 20,000 British soldiers died in German Navy shelling and aircraft bombings.
On the 29th, this number rose to 30,000 people there. It can be said that within two days, they lost an army. This is undoubtedly an unacceptable result for the British army.
"Your Excellency Commander, two days have passed, and the Germany people have only advanced three kilometers. They seem to want to use Naval Gun and aircraft to eliminate our effective forces!" General Haig looked ugly. The development of the war situation seemed to be very different from what they had expected! This made the faces of these generals feel a little hot.
"How about we take the initiative to launch an attack?" General Benson suggested.
"No, taking the initiative to attack will also suffer from the strong firepower of Germany people. In addition, taking the initiative to launch an attack will also cause us to pay greater losses." General Haig shook his head.
"So, what should we do? Should we just keep waiting like this?" General Hamilton's face was about to turn hideous due to excessive anger.
"Your Excellency Commander, we have no other choice now but to wait. No matter how slow the Germany people are, they will definitely push towards Canterbury. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. It is already the end of August, and in three months, the cold winter will come. By then, the supply of the Germany people will be even more difficult." General Haig explained.
General Hamilton was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, that's it! Order our troops to provide cover and suffer as little loss as possible. I want to see how long the Germany people can hold off!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." General Haig and others replied.
"Your Excellency Commander, if possible, I hope the Air Force can compete with the Germany people for air supremacy. The losses caused to us by the air strikes of the Germany people are even greater than theirs. Naval Gun has caused us much greater losses. If we can stop the Germany people's air strikes, our losses can be reduced," General Haig suggested.
"I will contact the Air Force!" Hamilton nodded. This is what he has been paying attention to. However, it doesn't seem to be going well.
