"Crunch, crunch!"

The tank's tracks crushed against the ground, making that sound of compression. The soldiers of the Anglo-French forces on the defensive line were even more numb. Some timid people are already scared to pee their pants. If it weren't for the constant pressure from the officers, they might have turned and fled. When facing these steel monsters, people will have a fear mentality.

"Tank gun, aim a little bit. The tanks of the Germans were not indestructible. As long as our tank guns can hit them, they will be able to destroy them! "A French officer, cheering up the gunners.

Several gunners, despite their fear, carried out the order and operated a 37mm anti-tank gun, ready to attack one of the German tanks.

"Fire!" With an order from the officer, the tank gun fired.

"Boom!"

Solid armor-piercing shells, whistling out of the chamber. In the blink of an eye, the shell hit a German tank. The front armor of the tank, like tofu, was easily cut by armor-piercing bullets. Fragments shot everywhere, killing the tank crew inside in an instant. At the same time, the shell also hit the ammunition depot behind the tank, causing a martyrdom. The whole tank burned into a fireball.

"Well done, we took out the tanks of the Germans. Keep up the good work and take out one more German tank. The officer applauded.

However, they never had a chance to destroy another German tank. Realizing the threat, the German tanks immediately attacked. A shell, hit this artillery group. The tank guns were overturned, and several gunners were killed.

Although, in the face of the attack of the powerful armored forces of the German army, a very small number of officers and soldiers of the British and French forces chose to resist. Their resistance also caused some casualties to the German armored forces. Overall, however, these casualties have been very limited.

The resistance of the British and French forces, like a mantis arm as a car, could easily be crushed by the German armored forces.

In particular, the German air force appeared on the battlefield, bombing and strafing the German anti-tank fire points, which made the anti-tank units of the British and French forces, which had already suffered heavy losses, even worse. In such a situation, the consequences can be imagined.

The tracks of the tank, which easily crushed the barbed wire, directly crushed the positions of the Anglo-French troops.

"Da Da Da!"

The machine guns on the tank began to strafe, and the dense bullets slaughtered the British and French positions in a sieve, beating the British and French soldiers who had not had time to escape.

"Give me death! Damn the Germans! "A French soldier, holding a bag of explosives, rushed to the German tank. However, before he could get close to the tank, he was knocked to the ground by machine-gun fire from the tank.

More and more tanks, entering the positions of the British and French forces, began to slaughter these poor soldiers. Countless German infantry, who were fighting behind the tanks, also took the opportunity to attack the positions of the British and French forces. With the help of tanks, they cleared the British and French soldiers from their positions.

The Anglo-French forces, having suffered heavy losses, began a large-scale retreat. However, on the south bank of the Marne line, the Anglo-French forces had only two lines of defense left. After the first line of defense was breached, the Germans would immediately attack the second line of defense. If the Anglo-French forces wanted to resist, it was almost unlikely. In such a situation, where can they retreat?

"Oh God! Flee, we can't resist the Germans. ”

"Cowards, you cowards, come back to me." A British officer shouted.

But then a tank was already rushing in front of him. The tank ran straight over him, and the pain was so intense that he let out that heart-rending scream. When the tank drove by, all that was left on the ground was a puddle of flesh. Long traces of blood, along with the tracks of the tank, appeared on the ground. It can be seen that in the crevices of the tracks of the tank, there is a lot of meat foam. A German soldier happened to see this scene. Then he bent over and threw up.

In the face of the attack of the German armored forces, the first line of defense of the Anglo-French army was broken through without even holding out for an hour. The remnants of the troops, in disarray, fled to the second line of defense.

However, as to whether the second line of defense could be held, the officers and men of the British and French forces obviously had no confidence at all. The Germans used tanks on a large scale during the offensive, and the powerful attack power of this armored weapon was really impossible for them to resist.

"Your Excellency, the first line of defense has been breached. The Germans were about to attack the second line of defense. It is estimated that before noon, our second line of defense will also be breached. The Germans will completely break through the entire Marne defense line. Admiral Foch smiled wryly.

Although, they had long expected such an outcome. However, they could not have imagined that the German attack would be so rapid that they had no way to stop it.

"As soon as the second line of defense is breached, our troops at Champagne-Châlons, Epernay and Château de Dieri will probably fall completely into the encirclement of the Germans. When the time comes, these troops will have only one dead end. Admiral Foch continued.

Although, the French 2nd Army, the 4th Army and the 2nd Army of the British Expeditionary Force, which were stationed in these three cities, had already suffered heavy losses. However, there are still quite a few troops who are persisting in fighting. If the second line of defense was also breached, the three cities would be completely surrounded by the Germans. The officers and soldiers of the British and French forces trapped in these cities, the consequences can be imagined.

"There is no way, we have tried our best, but we still can't resist the German attack." Marshal Xia Fei sighed.

"Yes, Your Excellency. We've done our best. Admiral Foch said.

This time, defeat was inevitable. However, this was not for their own reasons, but because the Germans were too strong. Strong enough that they were no match for the Germans with all their might.

"The troops have already suffered too many losses and cannot continue to fight like this. Otherwise, collapse is not far off. Marshal Xia Fei said. In his heart, it was as if he had already made up his mind.

"Order the troops, retreat! The 2nd Army, the 4th Army, the 6th Army, the 8th Army, the 9th Army and the 2nd Army of the British Expeditionary Force, withdrew to Paris. The 3rd and 5th armies withdrew from Verdun to the south. Marshal Xia Fei ordered.
