"Marshal, 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps have achieved the predetermined combat objectives in today's battle. With the support of Armored Forces, the infantry successfully completed the penetration, and the entire British defense zone was cut open. Tomorrow, we can launch further attacks and eliminate more British troops!"
"Very good, Armored Forces of the Imperial Army is indeed the most powerful!" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn nodded with satisfaction. The British army gathered millions of troops around Canterbury. However, under the fierce attack of German military, it still could not withstand it. This shows how powerful the German military's assault power is.
"Marshal, the infantry of 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps are preparing to defend against the counterattack of the Britain people. However, judging from the situation on the front line, after a large number of British troops were defeated, they will not be able to spare much power for counterattack in a short period of time. As long as our attack starts, the Britain people will be completely suppressed!"
Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn nodded. "Send Telegram to the navy. We will still rely on them to launch artillery attacks on the British army tonight to share the pressure on the army!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
At night, the Army Air Corps fighter planes were unable to take off and land. Therefore, the important task of providing fire support to the army falls on the navy. Fortunately, the Navy's Naval Gun does not need to be affected, it is almost all-weather. As long as the Army provides the coordinates, they can open fire. Of course, the prerequisite is that it must be within the range of the Navy's Naval Gun. Canterbury and its surrounding areas are still some distance from the seaside. However, it is still within the range of German Navy, Capital Ships, and Naval Gun. Those large-caliber Naval Gun can still provide powerful fire support to the army.
"How is the progress of 3rd Army Corps?" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn asked.
1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps, as the main forces, fought a decisive battle with the main force of the British army in the Canterbury area. Since 3rd Army Corps has fewer troops, it mainly plays a containment role.
"Marshal, 3rd Army Corps has approached Ashford during today's attack. The main forces of the British army 3rd Army Corps and 8th Army Corps are retreating. If 3rd Army Corps had not controlled the advancement speed, it is estimated that Maidstone would have been hit soon!"
"That's good. Before 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps can deal with the main force of the Britain people, as long as 3rd Army Corps can firmly hold back the two armies of the Britain people, it will be the greatest victory!" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.
The current battle situation is developing in German military's favor. Although, in today's battle, the number of enemies annihilated was not large. However, the main strategic objectives have been achieved. Next, it's time to reap the results. As long as everything goes well for German offensive, there will be no problem in winning this war.
German 8th Army Corps, always on standby. They will not be dispatched easily unless absolutely necessary. Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn hoped that he could rely on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd legions to eliminate all the British mainland army Southeast War Zone armies.
Canterbury, British mainland Army Southeast Theater Headquarters. Although it was already night, the underground headquarters was still brightly lit and as lively as a vegetable market.
General Haig and General Benson both rushed to the headquarters. They were very dissatisfied with today's battle.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Germany people have occupied Boulogne and Camart respectively. If they are willing, they can even It will cut off our connection with London. This will be a disaster for us! Therefore, we can no longer sit back and watch the war situation worsen!" General Haig looked angry.
General Hamilton refused to send tank troops to fight, allowing German military to easily break through the British defense line, which resulted in this situation. This made General Haig even more dissatisfied with General Hamilton.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. We must launch a counterattack and eliminate the Germany people who broke in in one fell swoop. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!" General Benson also looked serious.
General Hamilton's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Of course he could hear the accusations made by General Haig and General Benson. Although he is a local army Commander, he also serves as a theater Commander. And Haig and Benson are just Army Group Commander. In terms of position, he is much worse than him. However, the military ranks of both sides are the same. Therefore, if Haig and Benson really don't give him face, he has no good way to deal with them.
"I know! The Germany people's attack power is indeed too strong, far beyond our expectations. However, our troops did not suffer much losses in today's battle. Therefore, although the situation is not good for us, it is not so bad that we will lose!" General Hamilton quibbled.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Germany people have completed their planned Operations Department deployment. Their large-scale attack will probably begin soon. By then, will the chaotic army be able to withstand the Germany people's attack? I am very doubtful about this!" General Haig sneered on his face.
General Hamilton was stunned, and then said, "In this case, immediately organize the troops to launch a counterattack and eliminate all the troops belonging to Germany."
"Your Excellency Commander, this is probably very difficult. The German military has powerful firepower, which allows them to use their powerful firepower to cause heavy losses to us when defending. The previous battles have undoubtedly proven this. In addition, Although our losses were not large in today's battle, more than fifteen Infantry Division were defeated, a large number of weapons and equipment were lost, and the morale of the troops was severely reduced. Under such circumstances, the counterattack was obviously unsuccessful," General Benson said.
"Then what should we do now?" General Hamilton was a little anxious. He seemed to understand that the current situation was very dangerous for them. It was even more dangerous than he imagined.
"Your Excellency Commander, tomorrow morning, we must organize a strong force to launch a counterattack and defeat the Germany people. Otherwise, we will lose!" General Haig said.
"General Haig, do you mean to send out tank troops?" General Hamilton frowned.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, this is our only chance!" General Haig insisted.
General Hamilton thought for a while and finally nodded.
