"Marshal, 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps currently have the absolute upper hand in the battle around Canterbury. Main force of the British Army has been defeated by us in the battle. A large number of British troops have no fighting spirit. Even the organized ones surrendered to us. If this continues, it won't be long before all the British troops gathered around Canterbury will be eliminated by us," 8th Army Corps agent Commander Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.
Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn nodded, and the battle situation was developing in a very favorable direction for German military. This satisfied him. Because, as long as German military can win this war, then German military will be one step closer to victory in British mainland's war.
"What if the Britain people continue to invest troops in Canterbury? Don't forget, they still have more than one million troops in London and surrounding areas." Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The Britain people have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. If they continue to invest in reinforcements, it will make the war more difficult. However, it will only make us feel more difficult. At most, if we spend a little more time and pay a little more price, we can win this battle." Lieutenant General Ludendorff is very confident about winning.
Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn is also very confident.
"General Ludendorff, I'm afraid you and the soldiers under your command can't hold it any longer, right?" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn asked.
Lieutenant General Ludendorff smiled and then nodded, "Yes, Marshal. The various units on the front line are winning, and we can only watch from the side. This feeling is indeed very uncomfortable. In addition, I also think 8th Army Corps can go to the battlefield."
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn asked.
"Your Excellency, 1st Army Corps and 2nd Army Corps are currently holding back the main force of the British army around Canterbury. As long as we continue to fight according to the plan, we can quickly eliminate the British army there. However, don't forget to Maidstone, there are hundreds of thousands of British troops. Although 3rd Army Corps is launching an attack, it will be difficult to completely wipe out this British army. Once they withdraw London, this will create difficulties for our next attack on London. It will be quite a trouble. Therefore, I think 8th Army Corps can land at Britain at this time, cooperate with 3rd Army Corps to launch an attack on the British troops gathered at Maidstone, and if it can succeed, no. It can only eliminate hundreds of thousands of British troops, and at the same time it can greatly deter the British troops in London, making them afraid to act rashly. In this case, we will soon win the victory in the southeast of Britain." Lieutenant General Ludendorff analyzed.
Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn thought for a moment, then nodded. "General Ludendorff, this is indeed a very good plan. Eating the British army entrenched in Maidstone will allow the British army to put a brake on London's troops and not dare to send reinforcements to Canterbury. At the same time, it can also weaken the strength of the British army to the greatest extent."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Well, just follow your plan!" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. 8th Army Corps is ready. You can board the ship tonight and set off. Tomorrow morning, you can land at Eastbourne." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said. He and 8th Army Corps's soldiers didn't want to wait any longer.
"Well, I will let the navy fully assist you!" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.
"Yes, Marshal!" Lieutenant General Ludendorff was very excited. He and 8th Army Corps are finally going to the battlefield, and he believes that 8th Army Corps can achieve greater glory.
8th Army Corps, whether in Eastern Front or Western Front, has won one victory after another. On the Britain battlefield, they can also win.
On the evening of September 3, a large number of transport ships gathered at Cretwell. German 8th Army Corps just stayed around. After receiving the order, a large number of troops began to board the ship.
4th Division of the German Marine Corps will cooperate with 8th Army Corps to log in at Eastbourne. After that, the main force of 8th Army Corps will quickly approach Maidstone from Eastbourne, and cooperate with 3rd Army Corps to eliminate British 3rd Army Corps and 8th Army Corps.
At this moment, main force of the British Army troops have gathered in Southeast War Zone and London. In other areas, there are not many troops at all. For example, in Eastbourne, the British army only deployed one infantry brigade with more than 4,000 people. It is almost impossible to prevent German military from logging in.
At 6 a. m. on September 4, five German Navy's 'Kaiser class' Battleship and five 'Caesar? Frederick III-class' Battleship appeared offshore of Eastbourne.
Subsequently, these battleships poured shells on Eastbourne on Caesar.
Germany's intelligence agency has already had a clear picture of the British army's military camps and other fortifications in Eastbourne. This allows German military's warships to fire directly on these areas.
When the sound of artillery sounded and the large-caliber Naval Gun hit British Army barracks one by one, the British army woke up from a dream.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the violent explosions, countless panicked British soldiers rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes, and more British soldiers were killed directly in their sleep.
Under the cover of German Navy's powerful firepower, 4th Marine Division launched a landing operation.
The British army, which suffered heavy losses, could not have any impact on German military's landing operation. German military's Marine Corps only launched one round of attacks and succeeded.
The British troops stationed at Eastbourne were quickly defeated and fled Eastbourne. They didn't even have time to blow up the port, leaving the port intact and falling into the hands of German military.
Immediately, 4th Division of the German Marine Corps and 8th Army Corps were able to use the port facilities of Eastbourne to quickly disembark. Especially for heavy artillery and tanks, disembarkation will be very slow without professional port facilities. However, everything is no longer a problem now.
The tank was lifted from the transport ship to the dock by crane and then drove away. The heavy artillery was also directly towed away by Truck, very fast.
That evening, 8th Armored Division of German 8th Army Corps and two Infantry Division formed Assault Troops, starting from Eastbourne and advancing along the road to Maidstone. The rest of the troops were also disembarking quickly. It is expected that within a day or two at most, all 8th Army Corps's troops will be fully landing in Britain.
