"What a sound, what a beautiful scene! I really hope that the shelling of the fleet can kill all those British! Admiral Crook put down his binoculars and smiled.

"Yes, General! Now it was the turn of the British to tremble under our shelling. I think that the naval shelling, of course, will not cause much damage to the British. But the blow to their morale must have been fatal. When the time comes, we can easily defeat these British. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

Admiral Crook nodded: "It seems that this damn battle will be able to be fought soon." ”

For the German Army, the battle in France was over for the most part. Next, it was the turn of the attack on the British mainland. Although, the British will definitely insist on resistance on their own soil. However, it is foreseeable that the German Army will definitely use its powerful combat power to crush the resistance of the British. When the time comes, the battle will be over.

"General, our infantry must be ready. Wait until the shelling of the fleet is over, and then immediately attack. Before the British could react, they stormed Le Havre and ended the battle as quickly as possible. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"Well, absolutely. That's a great idea! Admiral Crook nodded repeatedly.

While the German fleet was shelling Le Havre, the infantry of the 1st and 8th Army Corps also slowly approached Le Havre. However, they did not attack immediately, but waited for their own fleet to complete the artillery bombardment before attacking.

Originally, the morale of the troops was lost heavily due to heavy shelling by the British fleet. But now, it has begun to pick up quickly. The soldiers watched as the shells of their own fleet continued to fall into the city of Le Havre. Smoke and smoke soared into the sky. This feeling boosted their morale. For defeating the enemy, they will be more confident.

Although, the shelling of large-caliber naval guns is very shocking. However, if your own large-caliber naval guns bombard the enemy, it will undoubtedly make your morale soar. This played a great role in restoring the morale of the German army.

Of course, this was not so wonderful for the British, who were under heavy German naval artillery. They have experienced what it would be like to be under the shelling of such large-caliber naval guns. Although the German former dreadnoughts used 280-mm guns, in terms of power, they were no worse than the 305-mm guns of the British Navy. The heavy high-explosive bomb contains a large amount of explosives, and if it explodes, it can destroy everything around it.

The defensive positions hastily constructed by the British Expeditionary Force were easily destroyed under the bombardment of these large-caliber shells, like papier-mâché. At the same time, the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force were destroyed. They were destroyed both physically and spiritually.

"Oh God! It turns out that the shelling of large-caliber naval guns is so terrifying! "Dozens of British soldiers were hiding in a converted artillery hole in the basement. Although, the basement has been reinforced. But whether they can withstand the large-caliber naval guns of the German army, they have no bottom in their hearts.

Violent explosions rang out incessantly, and the entire basement seemed to tremble. Dust continued to fall from the ceiling of the basement, making the British soldiers hiding inside gray and disgraced. But no one cares about it at all. Now one can only pray to God that the basement will withstand the shelling of the German large-caliber naval guns. In this case, they may be able to save their lives. Otherwise, if the basement collapses, they will all have to be buried alive.

"As long as you don't get hit directly, you should be able to resist it!" A British officer said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering explosion sounded. The ceiling of the basement exploded and cracked. A large number of rocks fell, and the British soldiers below buried them before they could react.

It was a 280-mm shell that hit the roof of this basement directly. Even if it is reinforced, it will not be able to withstand such large-caliber naval guns.

Under heavy shelling from the German fleet, the losses of the British expeditionary force began to soar. Countless soldiers of the expeditionary force were killed in the explosion or buried alive due to the collapse of the anti-artillery holes. Very few people were seriously injured. Because once it is affected by large-caliber naval guns, it is basically death.

The headquarters of the expeditionary force, in the end, is very strong. Even if it is directly hit by a large-caliber naval gun, it will not necessarily be blown up. But the hearts of Sir French, Admiral Haig, and Admiral Goff were like winter.

Now their troops were under heavy artillery fire from the Germans, and the losses were growing. But they couldn't do anything but watch it all. And, they can be expected. Once the Germans attacked, the British expeditionary force would probably not be able to resist it at all. How could the officers and men of the expedition, whose will to fight had collapsed, be the opponent of the wolf-like German army?

But they can only do nothing about it.

Neither Sir French nor Admiral Haig could do anything about it. What they can do is probably watch the expeditionary force move towards its final demise step by step. Even, these high-ranking generals, the final fate is nothing more than two, one is captured by the Germans, and the other is to lose his life on the battlefield.

Although, the British Army had a practice of rescuing important generals at the last minute. However, the German fleet is off the coast of Le Havre, and it is very difficult to rescue these generals at home!

Heavy shelling of the German fleet lasted a whole morning. They inflicted extremely heavy casualties on the British Expeditionary Force. In the afternoon, the attack of the German 1st and 8th Army Corps began again. In this offensive, the 1st Army Corps committed six infantry divisions, and the 2nd Army Corps committed four infantry divisions. More than 100,000 men divided into five directions and stormed Le Havre.

The morale of the British Expeditionary Force had already fallen to freezing point in the heavy shelling of the German fleet. This left them with no courage to resist the German attack. The battle was almost instantaneous, and the units of the British Expeditionary Force collapsed as soon as they were attacked by the Germans. It can be said that there is no suspense in this battle anymore.
