Chapter 526: Life or Death (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Sir, the British have built a strong defensive position in front. The firing points are all located in the blind spots of our shooting, and it is very difficult to destroy them! A second lieutenant officer reported to a captain company commander.

The captain and company commander couldn't help frowning: "Is it feasible to send snipers to attack them in a bypass?" ”

"Sir, the snipers have tried, but the British are cunning." The second lieutenant reported.

"Contact the battalion headquarters, we need reinforcements. Call for artillery to bombard this area. I want to see if the British positions can withstand the heavy artillery bombardment. The captain company commander ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Their demands were passed down to the division headquarters. The division headquarters then gave an order to the artillery positions. It so happened that a 150-mm heavy howitzer position had just completed its support mission. After receiving the request of this infantry company, they were responsible for the shelling.

Six 150-mm heavy howitzers, which then began to turn their muzzles, aimed at the intended target.

"Fire!" With an order from the commander, six 150-mm heavy howitzers began a heavy shelling.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

With a loud bang, one after another cannonballs have already whistled away.

In the city of Paris, this infantry company of the German army was still waiting. The soldiers lay down in their bunkers, lest they be affected by their own shelling later. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Soon, there was a whistling sound in the sky.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The veterans who have been baptized by the fire of war know very well that this is the sound of a cannonball cutting through the air at high speed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Soon, shells fell from the sky and hit the positions of the British troops. The shells exploded, and chimneys rose from the British positions. Waves of air swept in all directions, and a large amount of earth and rocks shot out in the surroundings. There were even quite a few soldiers who were directly swept up by the air waves.

The German soldiers also seemed to be shocked by the great power.

"Oh God! This is clearly the power of a 150mm heavy gun! I didn't expect that the top would actually support us with 150mm heavy guns. The captain muttered. He originally thought that it would be good to be supported by 105-mm howitzers. If they were unlucky, they might have only 75mm field guns to support them. But now, it's completely out of his mind.

Of course, the support of large-caliber heavy artillery is undoubtedly of great benefit to them. The British positions, under the heavy shelling of these 150-mm guns, were gradually turning into ruins. The British soldiers stationed in this position knew without thinking that they would inevitably suffer heavy losses. As a result, the Germans would have suffered almost no casualties when they attacked the area.

The fire support of the Germans, which lasted ten minutes. During these ten minutes, more than two hundred 150-mm shells hit this position of the British troops. When the smoke cleared, the British position was in shambles, with large craters everywhere. As for the British soldiers stationed in this position, they are nowhere to be seen. Only stumps and severed arms were left on the ground, and even pieces of minced flesh were turned into pieces. All this shows how terrible the shelling just now was.

When the soldiers of the German army walked up to this position, after seeing this scene, they all turned pale. Even after seeing the piles of minced meat, he vomited even more. It is estimated that they will not want to eat meat for a long time.

With a large number of German calls for artillery support, the British and French forces were simply unable to resist. The fortifications they built were simply not able to withstand heavy artillery shelling. And their own artillery, which has long been lost, is almost lost. The German artillery suppression, coupled with air raids, made the artillery of the British and French forces the first to be disabled in this battle. The remaining artillery, too, because of the heavy losses, can no longer play a big role. It can be said that this battle has completely evolved into a battle in which the British and French forces are passively beaten.

The position of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force, located near the Catholic Church on the north bank of the Seine. The same is a command located underground. After all, the command on the ground, it's too dangerous. Once it is bombarded or bombarded by German heavy artillery, it may be destroyed. Admiral Allenby, however, cherishes his life very much.

"General, the 33rd Infantry Division has lost more than half, and the division commander has asked to retreat." A staff officer reported to Admiral Allenby.

"Retreat? Their defense zone is only a few kilometers away from my headquarters. If they retreated, wouldn't the Germans be going to attack my headquarters directly? Tell them not to retreat! Admiral Allenby ordered.

"Yes, General."

A few minutes later, another staff officer reported that the British 37th Infantry Division had requested reinforcements.

"Tell the 37th Infantry Division that I don't have a single reinforcement in my hands. So, there is no way to support him anymore. Now, they can only rely on their own strength and persevere. Admiral Allenby said.

Admiral Allenby has been very impatient by the news of a series of defeats. After the Battle of Paris, the Anglo-French forces were constantly suppressed. The Germans used heavy artillery and aircraft, inflicting great losses on them. It can be said that every moment, their soldiers died in the shelling or bombardment of the Germans.

What's worse is that as the German attack becomes more and more fierce, this means that the Anglo-French army in Paris obviously can't hold out for long. This is obviously unacceptable to Admiral Allenby.

He didn't want to be killed by a German shell or a bomb. As a noble general in the British Army, he also wanted to stay alive.

"Damn, I can't go on like this. We simply couldn't beat the Germans. If you continue to fight, you will only be allowed to die here. This is the capital of the French, and the French and Germans are desperate, and that's as it should be. But we can't fight the Germans for the capital of the French? Admiral Allenby thought.

Even, he began to complain about Sir French, why did he order their army group to defend Paris with the French? Isn't this a clear plan to send them to death? At the thought of this, Admiral Allenby was extremely impatient.

"No, I can't die, I have to live on. I have to go back to England, I can't die here. Admiral Allenby muttered. As he kept repeating this sentence, his eyes became more and more determined.
