"General, the 12th Army lost more than 50,000 men in today's battle! There were also a large number of soldiers who were frightened, they hid in the rear like quails, and did not dare to fight on the front line. How to fight this battle! "The commander of the British 12th Army, Admiral Robert, complained to Admiral Haig.

"General, the losses of the 13th Army are also very large. The Germans were attacking too fiercely and too strongly! We can't resist it! The commander of the 13th Army, General George, also had a very ugly face.

If before fighting the Germans, they thought that the Germans were in vain, then now they know the strength of the German army. Even worse, their performance was worse than the troops they ridiculed.

"I know! However, we still need to stick to it as much as possible! Admiral Haig said.

It was only a day before the battle began, and the two armies could not hold out. War Secretary Richard? How could it be that Hardan had wanted them to hold out on the southern line for a month?

"General, if possible, you'd better give us some reinforcements! Otherwise, I really can't hold on. Admiral Robert said.

Admiral Haig did have reinforcements in his hands, more than 200,000 men in a group army. Moreover, this army group is also quite elite. However, this group army was reorganized by selecting soldiers from among the defeated troops in the southeastern theater. After the great defeat in the Southeastern Theater, the fighting spirit of these soldiers has been seriously affected, and it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to take up arms to fight the Germans again. Even Admiral Haig didn't know what kind of performance these guys would have when they went to war.

However, the situation is already very tense. If reinforcements are not sent to the front line for reinforcements, there is a real possibility that the front line will collapse.

"Well, I'll send troops from the 1st Army early tomorrow morning to reinforce you. I hope you can do your best to persevere! Admiral Haig said.

Admiral Robert and Admiral George nodded, they now thought that even one day was a luxury. But are they aware of Richard? If Hardan gave the order, if he retreated now, there was really no way to explain it. Therefore, they can only bite the bullet and grit their teeth to try to hold on for a while longer.

On the morning of September 15, the Germans, having rested for the night, continued their offensive. Although, Admiral Haig drew a lot of troops from the 1st Army to reinforce the front. However, the British army was still defeated and retreated under the fierce attack of the German army.

Although, the British army can rely on the buildings in the city to defend. However, under the previous shelling and bombardment by the German army, the buildings in the city have been almost destroyed. There are ruins everywhere. The fortifications that the British had built in the city were also destroyed. It also caused heavy losses to the British troops stationed in the city.

After the Germans entered the city, the German artillery positions advanced a full two or three kilometers in order to provide more direct fire support to the attacking German troops.

"Mortars, that bunker that destroyed the British!"

On a narrow street, the Germans were pinned down on the corner. At the end of the street is a bunker of the British army. Inside the pillbox, a heavy machine gun was firing at it. Several German soldiers were killed.

"Company commander, the power of that pillbox is the dead end of our shelling, and the mortars can't reach it!"

"Damn! Contact the regimental headquarters, we need artillery reinforcements! The company commander ordered.

The signal corps immediately contacted the regimental headquarters.

"Sir, the regimental headquarters told us to evacuate here, and in five minutes they will carry out a round of fire coverage here!"

The company commander nodded, and then withdrew from the street with his troops.

The British troops on the defensive line couldn't help cheering when they saw the Germans retreating. Although, the Germans were strong, but after defeating the German offensive, they were at least temporarily safe.

Five minutes later, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky. This made the faces of the British officers and soldiers whose smiles had not been hidden change greatly. Of course, they knew what those high-pitched whistling sounds meant.

"Oh God! Shelling! The shelling of the Germans! ”

Countless panicked British soldiers ran out of the defensive line and tried to escape into the anti-artillery holes.

However, by this time it was already too late. The shells have fallen!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense explosions sounded, and the British soldiers who had just escaped from their positions were torn to pieces in an instant. At this time, the human body is very fragile. Life at this moment is undoubtedly extremely fragile.

Even the pillbox with the British troops was torn apart by the German shelling.

When the German shelling stopped, a group of German soldiers returned to the street. But they soon found out that there were no more enemies. Or rather, there are no living enemies left. The British troops on the previous garrison positions have all been blown up, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere.

"Oh God! Are we here to fight or to collect the bodies of the British? This battle is too simple! A German soldier complained.

In his opinion, this battle is easy, it is no longer a war, it is clearly just a game. The Germans, with their great firepower, bullied the weak British.

"Idiot! Of course the battle is fought like this? Do you still want to brave the British firepower and fail to charge? That's a fool's business, that's dead! A veteran scolded.

These recruits, thinking about strange things all day long, have no idea how cruel the battlefield is. In the opinion of veterans who have been through the brutal battlefield, this tactic is the best now. This is because it minimizes your own casualties. And no matter what time it is, the greatest wish of those ordinary soldiers is to be able to survive the war.

The offensive of the four German corps against the southern line of the British army was very fierce. Although the British resistance was also very resolute, they were suppressed by the strong fire of the German army, and their losses were so great that many British troops collapsed directly under the strong pressure of the German army.

Originally, British War Secretary Richard? Hardan was hoping that the Admiral would be able to hold out on to the southern line for a month. In reality, however, the German 8th Army captured Epsom in just three days. Subsequently, the 8th Army Corps began to advance to the northeast, and there was a great posture to wipe out all the British troops on the southern defensive line, which frightened the British army and directly led to the collapse of the entire British army.
