"Alright, Captain, I need to ask my superiors for instructions!" The second lieutenant platoon commander hesitated for a moment, and then said!

"Of course, ensign! China and Germany are allies, and I am sure that your country will not refuse our legitimate demands! German Captain Jonathan looked arrogant, as if he had eaten the Chinese! More than 150 soldiers of his company also burst into laughter. In their opinion, those thin and short Chinese soldiers were no match for their tall German soldiers. In addition, there are only fifty Chinese on the opposite side, and their number is three times that of the Chinese, even if the Chinese have a defensive position to rely on, they all believe that perhaps with just one charge, they can easily take the Chinese position!

As for the Chinese Army's defeat of the British Army, this made the German Army not care at all. In their opinion, the reason why the Chinese Army was able to defeat the British Army was not because the Chinese Army was too strong, but because the British Army was too rubbish!

After the second lieutenant platoon commander returned to the position, he immediately reported to the company headquarters of the 4th company, and at the same time asked the soldiers of the whole platoon to be ready for battle!

The commander of the 4th company ordered the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon, refused the demands of the Germans, and held the position! He will immediately bring troops to reinforce them!

"Captain, we have ascertained that no German soldiers have entered our defense area, and you should immediately withdraw from our control area, otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to us, and the consequences will be borne by you!" The 2nd platoon leader shouted loudly!

"Damn! Those yellow-skinned monkeys dare to trick us! Captain Jonathan's face suddenly turned iron-blue, and the Chinese actually refused their request, which made their attempt frustrated at once!

"Send a telegram to the battalion headquarters. The Chinese detained our missing soldiers. We were also forbidden to search for missing soldiers. Now we are determined to break through the defense line of the Chinese by force and find the missing soldiers detained by the Chinese! "Captain Jonathan ordered!

The signal corps immediately sent a telegram to the rear, and the Germans immediately began to prepare for battle! The Germans' heavy and light machine guns were erected and aimed at the positions of the squadron, and the soldiers were also lying on the ground, ready to charge at any moment.

"Holy shit, these Germans are really going to attack us! The squads are ready for battle. The company commander soon brought people to support us! "The second lieutenant platoon commander of the 2nd platoon ordered! He knew that this battle was inevitable! However, the Germans, although they had an advantage in numbers, would not be able to break through their defenses! The commander of the 4th Company has already brought people here, and he will be able to see it in twenty minutes at most! The follow-up Gloucester still had a whole regiment of troops, and since the Germans wanted to provoke a war, then they had to be prepared to pay a heavy price!

At 2:18 p.m. on July 2, Captain Jonathan gave the order to attack, and hundreds of German soldiers were under cover from two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns, as well as a 60-mm mortar. An attack was launched on the positions of the Chinese Army!

"Fire! Kill all those shit-day! The platoon commander of the 2nd platoon immediately ordered! One heavy machine gun, three light machine guns and a 60-mm mortar from the 2nd platoon immediately opened fire!

"Boom! Rumble! "Da " mortar shells exploded in the ranks of soldiers of the German Army. Blow up a couple of charging German Army soldiers! The crossfire formed by the light and heavy machine guns completely blocked the German Army's forward path, and the German soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked to the ground, and at least a dozen people were shot on the spot! The rest of them were also pinned down in place, unable to move forward!

"Hell! How can the Chinese have such powerful firepower, just a platoon, actually armed with a heavy machine gun and three light machine guns, and a mortar? Captain Jonathan yelled! Such a firepower configuration is already much stronger than that of the German Army, even compared to his infantry company, it is not much weaker!

"Mortars, knock out the enemy's machine guns!" Captain Jonathan ordered! If they continue like this, they will pay more casualties, and at the same time, they will not be able to break through the defense of the squadron. This is absolutely unacceptable to the German Army!

"Boom!" The German mortar aimed at a firing light machine gun of the Chinese Army and fired at it. The shell exploded not far from the light machine gun, killing the machine gunner instantly. However, the secondary shooter immediately took over the control of the machine gun and continued to fire. At the same time, the mortars of the Chinese army also began to return fire.

The battle was very fierce, the Chinese army had too few troops, although with the help of the protection of the position, the casualties were not as great as the German army! But the Germans were not weak in firepower, and their strength was three times that of the Chinese army, which largely offset the disadvantage of this positional defense.

"Bump!" A Chinese soldier who was shooting was shot in the head, and the steel helmet on his head was pierced by a hole, and the Mauser 1998 rifle used by the Germans was very accurate and very penetrating, and at a distance of 200 meters, it could penetrate the steel helmet lightly.

The snipers of the Chinese Army also launched a fierce counterattack, and the German junior officers, machine gunners, and gunners were the key targets of their attacks, and at a distance of more than 200 meters and less than 300 meters, they did not miss a shot. Less than ten minutes before the battle began, the German machine gunners had already changed rounds, which affected the German attack!

"Damn! Attack, keep attacking! Captain Jonathan ordered with a black face! If the offensive continues like this, reinforcements from the Chinese will come! This will make their actions useless! In the previous plan, the Germans believed that a company of Captain Jonathan was completely enough to crush the opposite squadron, and then with the help of this conflict, the Germans took the opportunity to march on Gloucester and capture it, dividing the Chinese army's troops deployed in England into two parts. But the plan has just begun, and it seems to be very unsmooth!

Some of the German soldiers began to charge again, but they were blocked by the dense fire of the squadron. Although the squadron suffered a lot of losses in the battle, in general, if the Germans had only one company of troops, they would still be able to resist the German attack before reinforcements arrived!

"Send a telegram to the commander, the intensity of the Chinese's firepower is far beyond our expectations, we need more reinforcements!" Captain Jonathan ordered! He knew that now was not the time to be reckless. If the plan fails, he will probably be pushed out as a scapegoat.

"Yes, company commander!" The signal corps immediately contacted the rear and asked for assistance!

Ten minutes later, a dense barrage of shells fell on the German offensive line. Reinforcements from the Chinese Army were the first to arrive! Two 80mm mortars were firing at the German Army! Dense shells, bombed German soldiers on their backs!

Subsequently, the arrival of reinforcements from the other two platoons greatly increased the firepower of the Chinese army, and it was already impossible for the Germans to break through the defensive line!

As a last resort, Captain Jonathan had to give the order to retreat! Thus, the conflict ended. Although the conflict lasted less than half an hour from beginning to end, it cast a shadow over the relationship between Germany and China.

In this conflict, 45 people were killed and 37 wounded, and the entire company lost half of its combat effectiveness. The squadron paid the price of 12 killed and 15 wounded.

The German side accused the Chinese side of massacring German army soldiers, and demanded that the Chinese side apologize to Germany, compensate Germany, and deal with those responsible. The Chinese side, on the other hand, refuted the deliberate provocation by the German side to undermine relations between the two countries. The diplomats of the two countries began to fight with each other for a while.

At the same time, the armies of both sides also began to move, the German Army sent a force of 100,000 men into Cheltenham, and the Chinese Army was not to be outdone, with two infantry divisions plus the 2nd Panzer Brigade entering Gloucester. There is a fierce battle between the two sides for this!

Although the fighting broke out on British soil, the British watched this as if it were none of their business. They wish that China and Germany could fight, and in this case, maybe no one will care about them!

The rest of the Central Powers, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania, began to mediate, and the world war had just ended, and they did not want to get involved in a new one! In addition, if a war breaks out between China and Germany, how will they choose? This made them very embarrassed! Therefore, it is the most important thing for them to keep the peace between the two sides!

The intensifying conflict between China and Germany has also pushed back peace talks.

On July 5, Emperor Wang Yuze ordered to deter Germany by force and force Germany to give in!

The Chinese General Staff and the Admiralty issued an order that the main forces of the Chinese Navy should enter the North Sea through the English Channel and the Strait of Dover, cut off the maritime connection between Germany and Britain, and force Germany in turn! Moreover, all units should be ready for battle, if the Germans do not bow their heads, it will give China the upper hand in the war!

At noon on July 5, local time, the main fleet of the Chinese Navy set off from the south of the English Channel and sailed northeastward, including 4 'Tang-class' battleships, 5 'Han-class' battleships, 23 other battleships and two battlecruisers, plus heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, frigates and supply ships, a total of more than 200 warships! In addition, four Emeishan-class aircraft carriers have also joined the fleet to provide air protection for the fleet and ensure that the fleet will not be attacked by the German air force and naval aviation!
