"General, the 8th Infantry Division reports that they are under attack by the armored forces of the Germans, and the front-line troops have suffered heavy losses and are almost unable to resist." A staff officer reported to Admiral Haig.

"Armored troops?" The expression on Admiral Haig's face became serious.

On the battlefields of France, he had seen how strong the German armored forces were. The strong defensive line of the Anglo-French army could easily be broken through under the onslaught of those tanks. Now, the German army has directly used armored forces to participate in the offensive, which undoubtedly means that the German army has moved in earnest.

"Let the 8th Infantry Division hold out for an hour no matter what. In addition, the 10th Infantry Division was immediately reinforced. Admiral Haig ordered.

He knew very well that the strength of an infantry division of the British army could not withstand a German armored division at all. Even two infantry divisions are enough to choke. Now he only hoped that the British infantry would hold out and give him more time to mobilize his forces.

"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to telegraph.

"Send a telegram to the theater command, we urgently need reinforcements from tank units! Ask the tank troops to go into battle against the Germans! Admiral Haig then gave the order.

"Yes, General." Immediately, someone called the theater command.

At the behest of Admiral Hamilton, the British Army's tank forces sent more than half of their troops to Canterbury in order to deal with the German army's powerful armored forces. Although, the tanks equipped by the British Army were quite inferior to those equipped by the German Army. But after the improvements, the performance is not bad. At least, the question of whether there is a problem has been solved.

Canterbury, South East Theater Command of the British Home Army. Admiral Hamilton's brows furrowed tightly.

"General, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army have already sent a telegram asking for help. They were under heavy attack by the Germans and were in dire need of reinforcements. In particular, the Germans used more than 500 tanks in two theaters, which put great pressure on the troops at the front. A major general reported.

"Damn the Germans, did they throw in the main forces from the very beginning?" Admiral Hamilton couldn't help but curse.

The German Army Air Corps had just dealt with the Royal Air Force and was now committing its main forces to the offensive. Obviously, the Germans had been planning for this attack for a long time.

"Generals, Admiral Haig and Major General Benson all hope that we will be able to send tanks into battle. Otherwise, the line of defense at the front would have been broken through by the Germans very quickly. The major general continued.

Admiral Hamilton shook his head: "If we had thrown in tank forces at the beginning, what would we have done when we counterattacked?" Tell General Haig and General Benson to let them benefit as much as possible fortifications and anti-tank weapons to hold back the German offensive. And, as far as possible, destroy the tanks of the Germans. We don't have a lot of tanks, so we have to save them for the most critical time! ”

In Admiral Hamilton's view, now is not the time to use tanks. Before the Germans landed on British soil, Britain used all its production capacity and only produced 1,000 tanks. This tank, similar to the French Renault tank, can be regarded as a joint development between Britain and France. It's just that now France has surrendered, so only Britain produces.

After evaluation, British military experts believe that the performance of the tank, named 'Hound Dog', has been comparable to that of the German Army. However, the limited quantity and the lack of various materials have greatly restricted the follow-up production plan. Therefore, the generals of the British Army can only save a little. If you lose it, it's hard to make it up. That's why Admiral Hamilton treats these tanks as treasures.

Hamilton thought tanks could be used when the British had already exhausted a large amount of German life and launched a counterattack. At that time, the powerful assault power of the tank could be vividly expressed. And the British army could seize that opportunity to crush the last resistance of the German army in one fell swoop and win the battle.

It's a pity that Admiral Hamilton doesn't seem to think that if the British army can't withstand the German attack, it will lead to a rout on all fronts. He left the tank there as if it were a treasure, and it was useless.

"Yes, General." The Major General nodded, and then passed Admiral Hamilton's order to the front.

"Bastard! Hamilton guy, does he want our soldiers to launch a suicidal attack on the tanks of the Germans? After receiving Admiral Hamilton's reply, Admiral Haig immediately cursed.

In Admiral Haig's view, Admiral Hamilton's order was simply caught in the door.

"General, what should we do now?"

"What else can be done, since Hamilton wants us to fight to the death, that's the only way. Give orders to the front-line troops and fight to the death! Admiral Haig ordered.

"Yes, General!" A flash of despair flashed in the officer's eyes. He knew that after such an order was given, the casualties of the troops on the front line would definitely be very large. But after Admiral Hamilton, as commander, had already given such an order, did they have any other way?

On the front-line battlefield, German tanks were on a rampage.

Although, the anti-tank weapons of the British army, destroyed some of the German tanks. However, for the German army, which consisted of a large number of tanks, such losses were nothing at all.

The tracks of the tanks, which overwhelmed the barbed wire in front of the British positions, were crushed at the same time, along with the corpses of those British soldiers.

"Da Da Da!"

A British heavy machine gun was firing wildly, and a dense stream of bullets hit the tank's armor with a clanging sound. However, apart from knocking off some paint, there was no effect at all.

"Boom!"

The tank's 37mm tank gun opened fire, and a high-explosive shell accurately hit the heavy machine gun, tearing it apart.

Some brave British soldiers, armed with cluster grenades or explosive packs, rushed towards the German tanks. However, they were greeted by intensive tank fire. Many people have been beaten into a sieve before they have even rushed to the tank.

Only a handful of people were able to succeed in blowing up the German tanks.

As more and more tanks rushed to the welcoming position, the 8th Infantry Division and the 10th Infantry Division, which was later reinforced, could no longer resist. Countless British soldiers fled in disarray, leaving the entire front in ruins.
