"General, it will be dawn soon, what should we do?" A lieutenant general asked with a worried expression on his face.
Admiral Haig's complexion is also very ugly at the moment. The German defense line is too strong, and their fighting will is unexpectedly strong. This made the British army pay a great price in the one-night attack, but they had nothing to do with the German defense line. They could only watch helplessly as a thick layer of corpses piled up in front of the German defense line.
"It's dawn, and it's impossible for us to break through the German defense line. The German warships and planes are about to launch a large-scale bombardment and bombing of us. Under such circumstances, if we continue to attack, it will only let us The troops are going to die!" Admiral Haig said helplessly.
"Yes! General. It seems that the situation is going to be very unfavorable to us." The other generals also said. Everyone is very worried about the current development of the war situation.
"Command the troops, prepare to retreat!" Admiral Haig ordered.
"Yes, General!" The adjutant immediately went to convey the order.
Although, retreating now makes the generals of the British army very unwilling. However, they also know that this is impossible. If they don't retreat, they will only pay a higher price.
The German generals on the front line breathed a sigh of relief. It was already dawn, and their crisis could be regarded as lifted. They can also be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the UK. Next, as long as more troops continue to land on the British mainland, they can launch a large-scale offensive. The next battle situation will develop in their favour.
"Report to the general. The command is calling. The Army Air Force is about to launch an air strike on the British. The naval guns will also launch a large-scale bombardment on the British immediately. The Army's 3rd, 4th, and 5th Infantry Divisions will land later. The headquarters instructed us to mobilize troops that can continue to fight, and launch a counterattack after the naval bombardment and air force air strikes are over, to further expand the results of the battle!" A staff officer reported.
"Immediately instruct the troops to take the time to rest. After the naval bombardment and the air support of the Army Air Corps start, they are ready to launch a counterattack. After being suppressed by the British all night, it is time for us to launch a counterattack!" Alexander ? Lieutenant General Lin Singen ordered.
"Yes, General!" The staff officer immediately went to convey the order.
Although the soldiers on the front line were very tired, they still ate bread with the hot soup brought by the cooking soldiers. After a night of fighting, they were already exhausted. However, in order to have sufficient physical strength to fight back in the future, they still ate their breakfast in twos and then took the time to squint.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The navy's naval guns began to shell violently, and the dense shells slammed hard at the British army who was about to retreat. The power of these naval guns was already astonishing. Under the bombardment of naval guns, the British paid a huge price.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell hit a truck that was being loaded with shells and was about to evacuate, causing a martyrdom explosion, killing all the British soldiers around.
"Retreat! Accelerate the retreat!" The British generals on the front line ordered immediately. They all realized that a large-scale German counterattack was coming soon. Under the powerful firepower of the German army, it is almost impossible for them to resist the German counterattack.
"Run! The Germans are coming soon."
Countless British soldiers frantically wanted to escape from the battlefield. They were terrified by the fierce battle last night. In their hearts, they even think that the Germans are invincible.
"Buzz buzz!"
There was a sound like wild bees flying in the sky, and some British soldiers raised their heads and looked towards the sky. Immediately, they discovered that small black dots had appeared in the eastern sky. British soldiers who have experienced fierce battles with the Germans know what those little black dots represent.
"Plane! Plane! The German plane is coming!" The British soldiers shouted in horror.
The aircraft strafing and bombing of the German Army Air Corps also left a great feeling in the hearts of the British soldiers. They did not know how many comrades were killed by the German aircraft with aviation machine guns, or were dropped by the aircraft. Bomb kills.
"Da da da!" The fighter jets began to dive and shoot, killing the British soldiers with aviation machine guns. British soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground screaming.
"Boom!"
An aerial bomb fell and fell into the ranks of the retreating British army. Dozens of British soldiers were killed.
"Lie down! Lie down and dodge immediately!" A British officer shouted loudly, instructing the British soldiers how to avoid the enemy's air attack.
But then, he was hit by a bullet from an aviation machine gun, and his body was directly cut in two.
Under the air strikes by fighter planes of the German Army Air Force, the British army suffered great losses.
At this time, the German Army and Marine Corps launched a counterattack. With the support of naval guns and fighter planes of the Army Air Force, they launched a fierce attack on the retreating British army.
Faced with such a blow, the British army simply couldn't hold on.
"God! I surrender, I don't want to fight anymore!" A young British soldier threw away his weapon and raised his hand to surrender to the German army.
The power of role models is infinite. When morale was seriously affected, other British soldiers also surrendered one after another. This made the German counterattack a great success without any effort.
There are still a large number of British soldiers who do not want to surrender, and they flee desperately. In order to speed up his escape, he even threw away his weapons and equipment. This made the retreat of the British army no longer a retreat, and it should be called a rout.
The counterattack of the German army broke through several lines of defense that deployed the British army on the coast. The British soldiers could only flee back to the urban area and hold on. However, these urban areas are also within the strike range of the German naval guns, and fighter planes of the German Army Air Force can also bomb them. Therefore, even if the British army hid in the urban area, they could not escape.
However, the German army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the cities occupied by the British army. On the one hand, the British had already built a large number of fortifications in those cities, and if they attacked rashly, they would suffer too many casualties. In addition, the soldiers have been fighting fiercely all night and are very tired. Waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive is a good opportunity to launch an attack.
