"God! Is this still our position?" A British officer looked at the devastated position with a look of disbelief.
After the sun went down, German military's fierce bombardment finally stopped. This also gave the British army a chance to breathe. Many British officers and soldiers crawled out of the shell-proof holes that had not been destroyed by the bombardment. But the scene outside was completely different from before they got into the bombhole.
The urban area was completely in ruins, and even their positions seemed to have been plowed several times. Most of the trenches they had worked so hard to dig had been blown down, the barbed wire fences had been blown to pieces, and every firepower point was gone. What's even more terrible is that some anti-cannon holes were blown down and the officers and soldiers inside were buried alive, causing the British army's losses to start to rise sharply. German offensive They have suffered such losses before it even started. How should we continue this battle?
"Damn Germany people, how many shells did they throw at our position!"
"The defenses have been almost destroyed. When the Germany people launch an attack, what should we do?"
The Britain officers and soldiers on the position were filled with a feeling of panic and despair.
"Everyone is paying attention. The general ordered the defenses to be repaired immediately!" Commander of the British Army issued the order. In order to reduce casualties as much as possible in the subsequent battle, it is obviously impossible to do without fortifications. Therefore, the defenses must be rebuilt.
Although it's a little late, it's still good to take a break.
The British officers and soldiers, who had been frightened for a day, had to pick up their tools and start repairing the defenses. Everyone was tired, but had no choice but to obey orders.
Early the next morning, German military's bombardment began again. The density of shelling this time was even greater, and the fortifications that the British army had rested for the night were once again almost destroyed by German military's fierce shelling.
German military The firepower preparation this time did not last long, only an hour.
On the advancing position, the German military soldiers, who had had a full breakfast and were high-spirited, were already ready for the attack!
At 8 o'clock in the morning, with an order from Commander, two German military soldiers from Infantry Division began the attack.
"Quick, Germany people are coming!"
Countless British soldiers followed the traffic trenches and entered the position to block German military. Although their position has been completely destroyed, it still has some defensive capabilities.
In the sky, dozens of German aircraft appeared, including fighter jets and Bomber.
These aircraft bombed and strafed British positions, causing heavy losses to the British troops who had just entered the position. The remaining people were huddled in the trenches, not even daring to raise their heads, let alone shoot to stop the German military infantry.
"Crunch!"
The tracks of the tank crushed the ground, making a tooth-aching sound. In order to quickly break through the British defense line, German military invested in Armored Forces in the first round of attack.
"Anti-tank Gun! Pull it up quickly. Germany tanks are coming!" A British officer shouted with a Panic look on his face.
A two-pound Anti-tank Gun pulled up the position. However, it was blown up by German aircraft after just one shot.
"God! How can we withstand so many tanks?" A British soldier looked at the Steel Torrent rushing towards their position and was frightened to pee.
"Da da da!"
On British positions, machine guns fired. The attacking German military soldiers were suppressed.
However, a tank then used Tank Cannon to destroy the British machine gun, clearing the way for the attacking German military.
"Machine gun cover!" a German military company commander ordered loudly.
The two General Purpose Machine Guns immediately began to fire, and the dense rain of bullets hit the British troops who were defending this position and could not raise their heads.
Subsequently, more than a dozen grenades were thrown on British positions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A dense explosion sounded, and the British troops on the position were bombarded to the point of crying for their parents and suffered heavy losses.
German military, who was originally suppressed, took the opportunity to attack British positions.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The crisp sound of pistols rang out, and the first wave of German military soldiers who broke into the British position quickly killed the surrounding British soldiers with their pistols and cleared a position. Then, start from this position to expand the position.
More and more German military soldiers poured into British positions from this gap.
"Quick, the defense line on the left has been breached. Let the reserve team be dispatched to regain the position!" a British division commander ordered.
More than two thousand British soldiers bravely rushed towards this position. However, what greeted them was bombing and strafing from the sky. When the bomb dropped by Bomber exploded among the British troops, a large number of British soldiers were blown to bits and torn into pieces.
The dense bullets from the aviation machine guns smashed many British soldiers into sieves.
When the British army began to counterattack German military who invaded their position, they had already lost less than half of their troops. Then, their counterattack met German military's powerful firepower.
The soldiers of German military used machine guns, mortars and Grenade Launcher to give the British army a taste of powerful defensive firepower. After leaving corpses on the ground, the British army fled in turmoil.
When the tracks of German military's tank ran over British positions, British positions completely collapsed. The British army, which suffered heavy losses, began to retreat without the need for orders from their superiors. In order to speed up their escape, they even threw away their rifles, wishing their parents would give them two more legs.
It only took German 8th Army Corps and Epsom only half a day to break through the British defense line. The British army, which suffered heavy losses, retreated to the urban area that was bombed into ruins.
However, can the British army withstand the crushing power of German military? That's obviously impossible.
In the afternoon of that day, German 8th Army Corps invaded the urban area of Epsom and wiped out the British troops here.
Not only did 8th Army Corps's attack go smoothly, but the attacks of German military's other three legions also went smoothly. Although, the British army's resistance was still resolute and their will to fight was still complete. However, the gap in strength between the two sides was so great that in front of German military, the British army was completely crushed. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to expect them to hold their position and resist the attack of the Germany people.
In the battle on September 14, the four German military armies all won victories on the southern defense line. British 12th Army Corps and 13th Army Corps deployed on the southern defense line were directly crushed, and in the end they could only huddle in the city and linger.
