"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

The flares continued to rise into the air, and the dazzling white light shone all around as if it were day. The exposed British soldiers were immediately slaughtered by the powerful fire of the German army.

All kinds of machine guns, rifles, grenadiers and mortars poured fire frantically at any cost, inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking British soldiers.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense shells rained down like raindrops. In the case of pre-marking of the firing elements, it was possible to ensure that these shells fell in front of the German positions, and generally speaking, it was impossible to accidentally injure one's own people.

Countless British soldiers were torn to shreds in the explosion of the shells, and their limbs and arms were scattered everywhere.

Although, the darkness of the night obscured this hellish scene. However, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, almost unbearable.

"Artillery, let's fire our artillery at once! Bombardment of the positions of the Germans! Their firepower is too strong, otherwise we won't be able to hold on! Admiral Haig ordered.

Although on the battlefield in France, he had already seen the formidable firepower of the German army. However, he had to admit that he still underestimated the formidable firepower of the German army. After a few months of recuperation, the German firepower seemed to have become stronger. In addition, it also has a complete set of tactics for dealing with enemy night attacks. This is definitely not good news for the British. Because it meant that it would be more difficult for them to win the battle and drive the Germans into the sea. Even if it is a greater cost, it may not be successful.

"But general, our troops are not far from the positions of the Germans. It's night again, and if you open fire, I'm afraid it will cause accidental injury. "One of the generals was a little worried.

"The Germans are not afraid, should we be afraid? Their warships even dare to fire at sea, we can't be worse than them! Admiral Haig said.

"Yes, General." The artillery general had no choice but to direct the artillery to open fire.

During the daytime battles, the British artillery suffered considerable losses. In the face of the bombardment of the German naval guns and army air forces, many of the British artillery and artillery were destroyed. The remaining artillery and artillery are less than half of half a day. Even the coastal artillery, which had a thick defense, suffered considerable losses. After all, the 380 mm guns of the German Navy's battleships were extremely powerful. In particular, the shells fired by naval guns of 50 times the caliber have a strong armor-piercing ability, and even the defense of coastal defense artillery cannot withstand it.

Having received the order of Admiral Haig, the British artillery deserved to bite the bullet and start firing. They began the shelling on the basis of the pre-marked firing elements and the actual situation reported by the observers at the front, trying not to throw shells on their own heads. However, in terms of archery, the British were indeed unable to compare with the Germans, and there were still a lot of shells that fell into the ranks of the attacking British troops, causing a lot of casualties. But at the same time, they also inflicted considerable casualties on the German army. In the dark light, the attacking British did not know which side fired the shells that landed in their ranks, and they could only count it all on the heads of the Germans.

"Boom!"

A 114-mm shell landed on the German position, and several German soldiers who were firing from their rifles were blown up instantly. When it fell to the ground, it was already a piece of minced meat.

As more and more British shells landed on German positions, German casualties continued to rise.

"Bastard! Let the artillery suppress the fire of the British. Our position is so small that if the British keep firing at us frantically, we will suffer heavy losses under their shelling! "The commander of the German Marine Corps, Lieutenant General Alexander Linsingen, ordered.

On the orders of Lieutenant General Alexander Linsingen, the German warships, anchored in the sea, immediately began to divert the targets of shelling and began to suppress the British artillery. It's just that because of the influence of the night, the suppression effect is not very good. Even if the 380-mm guns and 280-mm guns of several battleships were added, it was the same. After all, to carry out artillery shelling of targets more than a dozen kilometers away, if in the daytime, it can also be adjusted according to the point of impact. But at night, the sight is severely restricted, and more can only rely on luck.

But even so, the heavy shelling of the German army still caused a lot of casualties to the British artillery, and the pressure on the German army and marines on the front line was much smaller.

The battle was still very fierce, and the three elite infantry divisions of the British army frantically attacked the German positions. The Germans, on the other hand, used their powerful firepower to stop them. Shells fell from time to time, causing great losses on both sides. But overall, the price paid by the British army was still much higher than that of the German army.

"Da Da Da!"

A British heavy machine gun, moving to the front line, opened heavy fire less than a hundred meters from the German line, and the dense bullets killed several German soldiers at once, and the rest of the German soldiers were also suppressed.

"Mortars, grenadiers, fire at me! Finish off the heavy machine guns of the British! A second lieutenant platoon commander ordered.

60-mm mortars and two grenadiers, firing began at once.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A mortar shell and two grenades hit the British heavy machine gun, blowing it to pieces, tearing the heavy machine gunners to pieces.

The suppressed Germans were able to continue firing and beat the British troops who tried to get close to the German lines into a sieve.

"Rush! Defeat the Germans and drive them all to the sea to feed the fish! The British soldiers, shouting frantically, heroically charged the German positions.

However, they were greeted by dense fire fired from the German lines. I don't know how many British soldiers were killed, and the corpses were in front of the German lines, and a thick layer had been piled up. Blood flowed from the corpses of the British soldiers, staining the ground red.

"Oh God! Aren't those British people afraid of death? We've killed so many of them, but they don't seem to be timid at all, which is not the same as the British we met before! A machine gunner muttered.

"The British we meet now should be their elite workhorses. Naturally, it is not the same as those rabble. As long as you kill all these Britons, there is nothing to worry about! A second lieutenant platoon commander said.
