Almighty Cultivation Supreme

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The whole of Le Havre groaned and wailed under the heavy German shelling. The defensive line of the British Expeditionary Force on the perimeter of Le Havre had been repeatedly plowed by German artillery several times. The fortifications they had built had been almost destroyed under heavy German shelling. The trenches were blown up, the barbed wire fences were blown up in pieces, and all kinds of fire points were almost completely destroyed.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to expect these fortifications to play a role in the ensuing battle. It was foreseeable that once the German attack officially began, it would be almost impossible for the British Expeditionary Force to use these fortifications to resist the German attack. They will pay extremely heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the German army.

As if to ensure the effectiveness of the shelling, the artillery of the German army shelled the outer line of the British expeditionary force for a full morning. It was only then that the artillery commander asked Admiral Crook whether the artillery could extend into Le Havre.

Admiral Crook immediately said that the shelling of the city of Le Havre was possible. Thousands of German artillery pieces continued to carry out heavy shelling.

For a time, under the heavy artillery bombardment of the German army, the city of Le Havre began to turn into ruins little by little.

The German shells, as if they didn't need any money at all, smashed at Le Havre.

Streets and houses were all destroyed under heavy German shelling. The British and French troops stationed in the city also began to increase casualties under heavy German shelling.

The inhabitants of Le Havre had almost fled when the Germans were trying to trap Le Havre. The rest of the city were almost all British soldiers. This made the Germans have no worries at all when the shelling started, and only needed to fire fiercely.

"Hell! The shelling of the Germans was endless. Do they really want to blow up the whole of Le Havre into ruins? Admiral Haig sat in the command's office, feeling the ceiling tremble in the explosion, and the dust falling from the entire commanding officer was quickly disgraced.

"General, the Germans have destroyed our defensive line outside Le Havre with shells. Now, they probably want to make us pay a bigger price with shells! An officer said.

Admiral Haig nodded, and when he fought the Germans in Rouen, he was greatly shocked by the powerful German artillery fire. It stands to reason that this kind of fighting of the German army will consume a large number of shells, and the pressure on logistics will be very great. The Germans, however, were unfazed. In almost every attack, there will be ample artillery preparations. The reason for this is that it is possible to use a large number of shells to inflict casualties on the enemy, which is conducive to reducing casualties in the following attacks.

However, this was not a good thing for the British Expeditionary Force. Because they were exactly the ones who were being ravaged by the Germans with heavy artillery fire.

"No, we can't go on like this. If the Germans had shelled like this, we would have suffered heavy losses under their shelling. It's going to be very, very bad for us to keep Le Havre! Admiral Haig said.

With that, he got up and went to Sir French's office.

"General Haig, what's the matter?" Now Sir French, the situation is not very good. Inside his office, the same dust was flying. The cup of coffee on the table was covered with a thick layer of dust, and after watching it, people had no appetite at all.

"Your Excellency, the shelling of the Germans is too intense. Under their heavy shelling, we suffered heavy losses. I don't think the Germans can continue to shell like this. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle at all. The Germans were able to wipe out all our troops with shells. Admiral Haig said.

"But, General Haig, we can't do anything about it? We still have a certain amount of artillery, though. However, compared to the powerful artillery of the Germans, the gap was not ordinarily large. If we rush to launch a counterattack with artillery, our artillery will be quickly damaged. In that case, it's not a good deal. Sir French said.

"Yes, Sir Sir. It is true that our artillery cannot act rashly. However, this does not mean that we have nothing to do with the Germans. The admiral said. ，

"Oh? General Haig, is there anything else you can do? If there was another way to contain the heavy German shelling, he would certainly be willing to try. After all, it was also very good for the British Expeditionary Force to hold Le Havre.

"Your Excellency, the artillery of the expeditionary force, cannot stand up to the Germans. But we can find a way from somewhere else. Le Havre is located at the mouth of the Seine, and we can totally turn to the navy for help. Let the Navy send battleships over and artillery the troops of the Germans attacking Le Havre. I believe that the Germans, no matter how powerful their artillery is, will definitely not be an opponent of the large-caliber main guns of the Navy. Admiral Haig said.

"Naval large-caliber guns?" Sir French's eyes lit up. Indeed, the main artillery of the navy is more than 300 millimeters, which is undoubtedly a devastating power for ground targets. If the British Navy dispatched its capital ships to bombard the German Army, it would inevitably be able to inflict a heavy blow on the German Army.

But then, Sir French thought about it. The main fleet of the Royal Navy is running out. The remaining capital ships are preparing for the final decisive battle with the German Navy, where is the surplus force to reinforce them?

"Admiral Haig, I'm afraid the Royal Navy simply doesn't have warships to reinforce us." Sir French said.

"No, Sir Sir. I think you misunderstood what I meant. I'm not asking the Royal Navy to send in the new capital ships to reinforce us. There's no need for that at all. As long as the Royal Navy sends some old dreadnoughts or armored cruisers, it will be enough to give us enough fire support. Those former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers were no longer suitable for a decisive battle with the German Navy. Its large-caliber main gun can provide us with powerful fire support. Anyway, those former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers are not much use, it is better to come to support us, which can also be regarded as waste! Admiral Haig said.

When Sir French heard this, he nodded his head repeatedly. <
