Groups of British soldiers, bowing their waists and holding rifles, attacked the German positions under the cover of night. Perhaps because of the relatively hot weather, almost every British soldier was sweating profusely. Even the sea breeze could not reduce the heat in their hearts.

Of course, the more reason may be the fear in their hearts. During the daytime battles, these British officers and soldiers were shocked by the fighting power displayed by the German army, especially the strong fire support possessed by the German army, which made them very frightened. Because this means that their attack this time is very likely to encounter strong firepower from the German army. At that time, I don't know how many people will lose their lives because of this.

"Damn Germans! Why did they invade the British Empire, so we had to fight them to the death. Originally, I should have stayed at home and lived a happy life with my wife and children!" A British soldier muttered softly.

"Idiot, shut up, do you want the Germans to know that we are launching a sneak attack? Don't kill us all because of you!" an officer shouted in a low voice.

The British soldier immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Because they wanted to avoid being discovered by the German army, the advance speed of the British army was very slow. The closer they were to the German line of defense, the slower they were. Everyone knows that once they are exposed, what awaits them is probably the powerful firepower of the German army. At that time, they don't know how many people will die here.historical

The top British Army attaches great importance to this night attack, which is related to whether they can drive the Germans into the sea. If successful, they will regain lost ground. At the same time, it will boost the morale of the troops. If the Germans want to land in Britain again and defeat them, it will not be so easy. If it fails, then they will not be able to prevent the main force of the German army from landing in Britain. At that time, they will have to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the German Army. It is very difficult for them to defeat the German Army in the end, or even cause greater damage to the German Army.

"Have the troops set off yet?" Hamilton asked his adjutant.

"Yes, General. The three main armies each sent three elite infantry divisions to participate in this night attack. The Germans did not land many troops, and they should not be able to withstand the surprise attack. Stop our attack." The adjutant said.

Hamilton shook his head: "The Germans are not fools, and they also know that tonight is the most difficult night for them. As long as they survive tonight, they will truly gain a foothold in the empire. If we want to defeat them, we must It's not that easy anymore. So, they'll definitely be ready tonight."

"General, in this way, is it less likely that we will survive the night attack?" The adjutant was a little nervous.

"Even if the Germans knew that we were going to launch a night attack, they didn't have a good way to prepare for it. In the end, it was still a confrontation between the strengths of the two sides. If God bless us, we may really be able to defeat the Germans!" Hamilton said the admiral.

"God will bless the British Empire, we will be able to defeat the Germans!" The adjutant looked determined.

The frontline generals of the British army also believed that God would bless them. That's why this night attack was launched desperately, hoping to use this opportunity to drive the German troops who landed into the sea in one fell swoop.

A British soldier was walking. Suddenly, he stopped, and his face changed drastically.

"Idiot? Why don't you leave soon?" an officer scolded.

"Sir, I seem to have stepped on a landmine!" The soldier said with a sad face.

"What? Land mines? God! The Germans planted land mines!" The officer almost got up.

The British soldiers around them also felt as if they were facing an enemy, and they did not dare to move, for fear that they would also step on a landmine.

"Sir, what should I do?" the soldier asked.

"Don't move! I order you not to move from now on, I will find a way!" The officer also looked anxious.

It's just that he doesn't have to worry about it right away. Because, in addition, someone stepped on a landmine.

"Boom!"

An unlucky guy stepped on a torpedo buried by the German army, not only blowing himself to pieces, but also exposing the actions of the British army.

Immediately afterwards, landmines exploded one after another. The losses caused to the British army were secondary, and the real major losses were mainly to expose their plans. This also means that they will be hit by fierce firepower from the German army.

"Damn it! I stepped on a landmine!" Admiral Haig's face turned livid.

"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

On the German position, when the mines sounded, the soldiers were awakened. Sleeping in their clothes, they immediately held their weapons and prepared to fight.

Mortars fired flare after flare into the sky. The dazzling white expanse dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surroundings. The figures of the British soldiers were also fully revealed under the white light of the flares.

"Fire!"

The frontline commander of the German army immediately issued an order.

"Da da da!"

Squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns started firing crazily. Orange flames shone at the muzzle of the gun, and the dense bullets formed a steel storm, covering the attacking British soldiers. Countless British soldiers were shot and fell to the ground screaming.

"Damn it, go!"

The officers of the British army roared loudly. Now that a sneak attack is no longer possible, the only option is to launch a strong attack. If they escape, they will leave their backs in front of the German machine guns, causing even greater casualties.

"For the British Empire, charge!"

A large number of British soldiers, shouting slogans, braved the hail of bullets, and launched a violent charge towards the German positions. However, what greeted them was the powerful machine gun fire on the German positions, mortar and grenade fire, and rifle bullets in the hands of ordinary soldiers.

On the artillery position behind, a door of 75mm field guns and 105mm light howitzers also started firing. This is the cannon equipped by the infantry divisions that landed. However, the 150mm heavy howitzer is too heavy, and there is no perfect loading and unloading equipment, so it has not been loaded and unloaded yet.

The naval warships moored in the sea also started shelling immediately. A series of small and medium caliber naval guns started firing. The power of the large-caliber naval gun is too great, and the distance between the two sides is too close. In order to avoid being accidentally injured, the large-caliber main gun did not fire. But even so, the powerful firepower is enough for the British to drink a pot.
