Groups of British soldiers, bent over and armed with rifles, attacked the German positions under the cover of night. Perhaps because of the relatively hot weather, almost every British soldier was sweating profusely, and even if the sea breeze blew, it could not reduce the heat in their hearts.

Of course, the more reason may be the fear in their hearts. During the day's fighting, the combat effectiveness of the German army had shocked these British officers and soldiers, especially the strong fire support of the German army, which made them very frightened. Because this means that their attack this time is very likely to encounter a strong German firepower. When the time comes, I don't know how many people will lose their lives because of this.

"Damn the Germans! Why did they invade the British Empire, so that we had to fight them to the death? Originally, I was supposed to stay at home and live happily ever after with my wife and children! A British soldier muttered quietly.

"Shut up, idiot, do you want the Germans to know that we are launching a sneak attack? Don't kill us all! An officer lowered his voice and shouted.

The British soldiers immediately closed their mouths, not daring to say anything more.

Because of the need to avoid being discovered by the Germans, the British army advanced very slowly. The closer they got to the German lines, the slower they became. Everyone knows that once exposed, what awaits them is probably the powerful firepower of the German army. When the time comes, they don't know how many people will die here.

The British Army's top brass attached great importance to this night attack, which was related to whether they could drive the Germans out to sea. If successful, they will regain lost ground. At the same time, it will boost the morale of the troops. It would not be so easy for the Germans to defeat them if they wanted to land in England again. If they failed, then they would not be able to prevent the main forces of the German army from landing in Britain. At that time, they will have to fight a decisive battle with the main forces of the German Army. In the end, it will be very difficult for them to defeat the German Army, or even inflict greater damage on the German Army.

"Have the troops already set off?" Hamilton asked his lieutenant.

"Yes, General. Each of the three main army groups sent three elite infantry divisions to participate in the night attack. The Germans did not land many troops, and in the event of a surprise attack, they should not be able to withstand our attack. The adjutant said.

Hamilton shook his head: "The Germans are not stupid, they also know that tonight is their hardest night. As long as they survive tonight, they will truly gain a foothold in the Empire. If we want to defeat them, it's not so easy. So, they'll definitely be ready tonight. ”

"General, is it unlikely that we will survive the night attack?" The adjutant was a little nervous.

"Even if the Germans knew we were going to launch a night attack, they didn't have a good defense. In the end, it is still a confrontation of the strength of the two sides. If God forbids us, we might really be able to defeat the Germans! Admiral Hamilton said.

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

The front-line generals of the British army also believed that God would bless them. That's why they launched this night attack desperately, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to drive the landed German troops into the sea in one fell swoop.

A British soldier was walking when he suddenly stopped, and his face changed dramatically.

"Idiot? Why don't you go quickly? An officer scolded.

"Sir, I look like I've stepped on a landmine!" The soldier said with a sad face.

"What? Mine? My God! The Germans actually planted mines! "The officer almost got up.

The surrounding British soldiers were also like facing a great enemy, and they did not dare to move, for fear that they would also step on a mine.

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

"Don't move! I order you not to move from now on, I'll figure it out! The officer was equally anxious.

It's just that he doesn't have to be anxious right away. Because, in addition, there are people who have stepped on landmines.

"Boom!"

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

Immediately after that, a series of mines exploded. The losses inflicted on the British were secondary, and the real losses were mainly due to exposing their plans. This meant that they would be hit by heavy German fire.

"Damn! Stepped on a mine! Admiral Haig's face turned blue all of a sudden.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

On the German positions, the soldiers were awakened by the sound of mines. Sleeping in their clothes, they immediately held their weapons and prepared for battle.

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

"Fire!"

The front commander of the German army, immediately gave the order.

"Da Da Da!"

With machine guns and general-purpose machine guns, the squad began to fire wildly. Orange-red flames glittered in the muzzles of the guns, and a dense stream of bullets formed a storm of steel that enveloped the attacking British soldiers. Countless British soldiers were shot and fell to the ground screaming.

"Damn it, rush!"

The officers of the British army shouted loudly. Since a sneak attack is no longer possible, the only way to do this is to launch a strong attack. If they escaped, they would have left their backs in front of the German machine guns, causing even more casualties.

"For the sake of the British Empire, charge!"

A large number of British soldiers, shouting slogans and braving the hail of bullets, launched a fierce charge at the German positions. However, they were greeted by powerful machine-gun fire, mortar and grenadier fire from German positions, as well as rifle bullets in the hands of ordinary soldiers.

On the artillery positions in the rear, a 75-mm field gun and a 105-mm light howitzer also began firing. This is the artillery that the landing infantry division was equipped with. However, the weight of the 150-mm heavy howitzer is too heavy, and there is no perfect loading and unloading equipment, so it has not been loaded and unloaded for the time being.

The naval warships anchored in the sea also began shelling as soon as possible. A small and medium-caliber naval gun began to shoot. The power of large-caliber naval guns was too great, and the distance between the two sides was too close. In order to avoid being injured by mistake, the large-caliber main gun did not open fire. But even then, the powerful firepower was enough for the British to drink a pot.
