Calais, the German Operational Command against the British. Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhain was also discussing the current situation with the commanders of several other army corps of the army.

"The Marines have done very well today, and all three divisions have completed their intended objectives, establishing beachheads at Margate, Dover and Folkestone. In this way, we still have a good start! "Feng? Falkenhain said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. However, if we can really determine whether we can gain a foothold on British soil, we will have to see tonight's fighting. Tonight was the only chance for the British to drive our troops into the sea. If they miss this opportunity, they won't have a chance again. "said the commander of the 1st Army Corps, Admiral Crook.

"Yes, so tonight is key. How many land forces have we sent to the UK so far? "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

"Your Excellency, the 1st Army has sent the 1st Infantry Division to land in England before dark. The 2nd Infantry Division is also on the way. After the landing of two infantry divisions, it should be enough to deal with the counterattack of the British. Admiral Crook continued. It's not that Admiral Crook doesn't want to send more troops to land, it's because the beachhead is not large, and sending too many troops will cause a lot of crowding. At that time, once the British bombarded with artillery fire, it would cause great casualties to the German army. In addition, Admiral Crook also believed that two German infantry divisions should not have much problem if they resisted the counterattack of the British army. The Germans, who were on the defensive, would have more firepower.

The 2nd and 3rd Army Corps also stated plans to send two infantry divisions ashore to assist the Marines in holding their positions.

Feng? Marshal Falkenhain nodded, such a defensive force can be regarded as very strong. If they were all defeated by the British in such a situation, there would be nothing to say.

"General Scheer, the battle at night will require further support from the Navy. We have marked the shooting elements so that the ships of the Navy can fire according to these coordinates. "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The naval fleet will provide ample fire support to the land forces. However, because of the influence of the night, our shooting accuracy will be discounted to a certain extent. Therefore, I hope you can understand. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer replied.

Feng? Marshal Falkenhein understood this. Because of science and technology, the powerful firepower of the German army will be somewhat limited when fighting at night, which is something that cannot be avoided, and no one can avoid it. Therefore, this also means that the battle tonight will be very fierce, and the losses will not be small. But von? Field Marshal Falkenhain was convinced that the Germans were far more determined to fight than the British. In the heat of battle, even if it was the first to be unsupportable, it should be the British, not the Germans.

"Tell the troops at the front that they need to hold on tonight no matter what. As long as we hold on until dawn tomorrow, we win. When the time comes, the planes of the Army Air Corps and the warships of the Navy will make those British so adequate! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" The generals all replied.

Obviously, these German generals also thought that there should be no big problem in holding on to it for one night. Once dawn, the planes of the German Army Air Corps could bomb and strafe the British troops, and the accuracy of the naval guns would increase a lot, further inflicting firepower on the British troops. In this case, the possibility of the Germans resisting the British attack is undoubtedly greater.

"Gentlemen, the winner will be announced this evening. May God bless the German Empire! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

"God bless the German Empire!" Others said the same.

To some extent, the attack on the British mainland depends on tonight. If it can withstand the counterattack of the British Army tonight, then the German Army will be able to completely stand on its feet. When the time comes, a steady stream of German troops will successfully land. Launched an offensive against the British Army. Once the main force of the German Army landed, the British Army wanted to resist the German attack, and the possibility was definitely not too great. So, Feng? Marshal Falkenhein and others attached great importance to the results of the battle tonight. If the Germans were driven out to sea and suffered heavy losses, then the next round of landing operations would have to be organized. Not only was it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it was also a great blow to the morale of the troops. At the same time, it will also boost the morale of the British Army. This would be very detrimental to defeating Britain. So, no one wants to be thrown into the sea tonight.

After the meeting was over, the commanders of each corps gave orders to the front, and they had only one request, that is, even if they fought to the last soldier, they would hold out until dawn. As long as you hold on until dawn, it is a victory!

Little by little, time passed, even though it was already night. However, the German Army and Marines, who landed on British soil, did not rest, but seized the time to build fortifications and firing points. They all knew well that soon the British would attack. If they did not resist the British attack, they would have been driven out into the sea to feed the fish. When the time comes, it is not known how many people will be drowned alive in the sea.

By 10 p.m., it was already dark. Even the moon hid in the thick clouds. Although, it has not yet reached the point where you can't see your fingers. However, this kind of night is still very suitable for launching a night attack.

Fortunately, the German army can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles. In front of the position, they laid mines. As soon as the British attacked, they stepped on mines, which were exposed. In addition, a large number of flares were delivered to the front. As long as the flares were fired at any cost, they could dispel the darkness and allow the Germans to regain their firepower superiority. If the British wanted to drive the Germans into the sea to feed the fish, they would first have to hit their heads in the face of the German firepower and suffer heavy losses. Perhaps, until dawn, they have not been able to achieve their strategic goals.

"Order the troops, let's attack!" Admiral Haig gave the order. The three elite infantry divisions of the 1st Army, more than 50,000 people, took advantage of the night to launch an attack on the German defense line.

At the same time, the British 2nd Army and the 3rd Army also launched an offensive at the same time.
