Chapter 814: Rolling (seeking monthly ticket)

   "God! Is this still our position?" A British officer looked at the devastated position with a look of disbelief.

  After the sun went down, the heavy German shelling finally stopped. This also gave the British army a chance to breathe. Many British officers and soldiers climbed out of the bomb defense holes that had not been bombed. But the scene outside was completely different from before they got into the blast hole.

  The urban area has completely become a ruin, and even their positions seem to have been plowed several times by someone. Most of the trenches they worked so hard to dig were blown up, the barbed wire was blown to pieces, and there was no firepower left. What's more terrible is that some artillery holes were blown down, and the officers and soldiers inside were buried alive, which caused the loss of the British army to rise sharply. Before the German offensive started, they lost like this. How should this battle be fought?

   "Damn the Germans, how many shells did they drop on our positions!"

  "The fortifications are almost destroyed. When the Germans launch an attack, what should we do?"

  The British officers and soldiers on the ground were filled with a sense of panic and despair.

   "Everyone is paying attention, the general ordered to rest the fortifications immediately!" The commander of the British army issued an order. In order to reduce casualties as much as possible in the following battles, it is obviously impossible without fortifications. Therefore, it is necessary to rebuild the fortifications.

  Although the time is a little too late, it is still good to take a break.

  The officers and soldiers of the British army, who had been frightened for a day, had to pick up their tools and start to rest their fortifications. Everyone is very tired, but there is no way but to obey orders.

   Early the next morning, the German shelling began again. This time the shelling density was even higher, and the fortifications that the British army had rested overnight were almost destroyed by the heavy shelling of the German army again.

  The German firepower preparation this time did not last long, only an hour.

   On the forward position, the German soldiers who had had a full breakfast and were full of fighting spirit were ready to attack!

  At 8 o'clock in the morning, with the order of the commander, the German soldiers of the two infantry divisions began to attack.

   "Quick, the Germans are coming!"

  Countless British soldiers followed the traffic trench and entered the position to block the German army. Although their positions have been destroyed to a disastrous state, they still have some defensive capabilities.

   In the sky, dozens of German aircraft appeared, including fighter jets and bombers.

  These planes bombarded and strafed the positions of the British army, causing heavy losses to the British troops who had just entered the position. The rest were huddled in the trenches, too afraid to raise their heads, let alone shoot to stop the German infantry.

   "Crunch!"

  The tank's tracks were crushed on the ground, making a tooth-piercing sound. In order to quickly break through the British defense line, the German army invested in armored forces in the first round of offensive.

   "Anti-tank gun! Pull up quickly. German tanks are coming!" A British officer shouted in horror.

  A two-pound anti-tank gun pulled up to the position. However, it was blown up by German planes after only one shot.

   "Oh my god! How could we resist so many tanks?" A British soldier watched the torrent of steel rushing towards their position, and was scared to pee.

"Da da da!"

  British positions, machine guns fired. The attacking German soldiers were suppressed.

   However, a tank then destroyed the British machine gun with a tank gun, clearing the way for the attacking German army.

   "Machine gun cover!" A German company commander ordered loudly.

  Two general-purpose machine guns began to fire immediately, and the dense rain of bullets hit the British army defending this section of the position, unable to raise their heads.

   Subsequently, more than a dozen grenades were thrown on the British position.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  Intensive explosions sounded, and the British troops on the battlefield were crying for their fathers and mothers after being bombed, and suffered heavy losses.

  The German army, which was originally suppressed, took the opportunity to break into the British army's position.

   "Crack! Crack! Crack!"

  Clear pistol sounds sounded, and the first wave of German soldiers who broke into the British position quickly killed the surrounding British soldiers with pistols, clearing out a position. Then, start from this position and expand the position.

  More and more German soldiers poured into the British position from this gap.

   "Hurry up, the defense line on the left has been breached, let the reserve team dispatch to regain the position!" A British division commander ordered.

  More than 2,000 British soldiers bravely rushed to this position. However, what greeted them was bombing and strafing from the sky. When the bomb dropped by the bomber exploded in the queue of the British army, a large number of British soldiers were bombed and torn to pieces.

  The dense bullets of aviation machine guns even smashed many British soldiers into sieves.

  When the British army began to counterattack the German army that invaded their position, it had lost a small half of its troops. And then, their counterattack was hit head-on by the powerful firepower of the German army.

  The soldiers of the German army used machine guns, mortars and grenades to let the British army experience what it means to have powerful defensive firepower. After the British army left a lot of corpses, they fled away.

  When the tracks of the German tanks crushed the British positions, the British positions completely collapsed. The British army, which suffered heavy losses, began to retreat without an order from its superiors. In order to speed up their escape, they even threw away their rifles, wishing their parents would give them two more legs.

  The German 8th Army broke through the British defense line in Epsom in just half a day. The British army suffered heavy losses and retreated to the urban area that was bombed into ruins.

  However, under the crushing power of the German army, can the British army withstand it? That is obviously impossible.

  That afternoon, the German 8th Army entered the urban area of ​​Epsom to wipe out the British troops here.

   Not only the attack of the 8th Army went smoothly, but the attacks of the other three German armies also went smoothly. Although, the resistance of the British army is still firm, and the will to fight is still quite complete. However, the strength gap between the two sides was so great that the British army was completely crushed in front of the German army. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to expect them to hold their positions and resist the German attack.

  During the battle on September 14th, the four German armies all won victories on the southern defense line. The British 12th Army and 13th Army deployed on the southern defense line were directly crushed, and in the end they could only huddle in the urban area to survive.
