The artillery was roaring, and the earth was trembling.

Heavy artillery fire came as scheduled, and the British, French and Indian soldiers hiding in the trenches could only huddle up. Compared with the strong artillery fire, the hearts of the coalition soldiers were calmer than ever. In just ten days, they have experienced too much such artillery fire, and it can be said that they are numb.

Haig and Gammelin were the same, and the sound of explosions on the ground was clearly heard underground. Compared with the numbness of the soldiers, the two only had deep sadness.

"There is no need to hide any longer, if you hide any longer, you will become a prisoner of the Chinese army." Gan Molin said helplessly.

"I originally wanted to wait for reinforcements to arrive, but now all hope has come to naught, and it's useless to keep it, hoping to block the opponent's offensive edge." Haig was also a little disheartened at this time.

The Anglo-French army still had the one or two hundred heavy guns that had been hidden at the moment, and they had been hidden in a natural underground cave in the snow at the beginning, right in the center of the defensive position. It was also the hiding place of Haig and Gammel at this time.

Since they decided to fight in the end, the two were not cautious. As the order was given, the artillery hidden in the underground caves began to fade their cannons. However, at this time, the shelling of the Chinese army continued, and the outside of the cave was still rumbling, and there was no way for the artillery to pull out.

The arrival of bombers made the explosions louder, some bunkers and other defensive points were blown down, and wooden trenches were lifted. Faced with a familiar scene, the surviving British, French, and Indian soldiers could only endure in silence.

The artillery fire gradually subsided, and the bombers flew away. The British, French, and Indian soldiers hiding in the pits also came out one after another, knowing that as soon as the artillery fire stopped, the other side would start attacking, and all this seemed to have been agreed. As soon as they walked into their defensive point, the Chinese army had already attacked more than 100 meters to the front line.

The original roar of artillery on the battlefield was suddenly replaced by the continuous sound of gunfire. Bullets flew sideways, striking the target, creating a symphony of death.

Unlike the previous battles, this battle was an attack on all sides of the entire position, and some of the weaker parts of the defensive line were torn apart in an instant. Led by armored vehicles, the troops began to march straight in.

As soon as the cannon stopped, the artillery of the British and French forces began to pull the cannon out of the hole.

With the efforts of thousands of people, it didn't take long for all of them to move out. Unbeknownst to them, however, when they pulled the cannon out, it had been seen by scouts hiding in the distance. On a hill a few kilometers away, a high-powered telescope was set up, which was always keeping an eye on the situation of the entire British and French positions. Before, the artillery was hidden in the cave, and the telescope naturally couldn't see it, but now that it has been pulled out, it is a target like heavy artillery, and there are still a lot of them, and of course they are seen soon.

The distance you see with a telescope is related to people's eyesight, and what you can't see clearly, at a relative proportional distance, even with a telescope, you can't see clearly. It is also related to the size of the object, for example, if you take a telescope ten times to see an ant a kilometer away, the distance is only ten times closer, that is, 100 meters, and you can't see the ant. With a telescope, you can see the crater on the moon 380,000 kilometers away. It is also related to the air quality, foggy days or something, you can't see with your eyes, and you can't see with a telescope.

Huang Bai received a report from the scouts as soon as possible, and the news of the heavy artillery of the British and French forces has always been the focus of Huang Bai. Otherwise, there would not have been a lookout point on the mountain, but of course such an observation point would have been necessary. Although the Chinese army has already seized air supremacy, reconnaissance planes can frequently come to reconnoitre, but aircraft reconnaissance is not all-weather, and what to do at night, so observation points like this are a shortcoming of air reconnaissance.

The news sent by the scouts naturally included the coordinates of the heavy artillery of the British and French forces, and Huang Bai did not hesitate to immediately send the coordinates to Fang Jiwei's heavy artillery division. Since the rabbit has been out of the nest, Huang Bai will not be polite in the slightest.

Once again, the artillery of the heavy artillery division began to roar!

Haig and Gammelin, who were hiding underground, realized as soon as they heard the sound of artillery that their own heavy artillery was definitely under attack. As the cannon fire became more and more intense, there were several loud explosions during this period. Haig and Gan Molin's hearts played out in turn, and they didn't expect the heavy artillery to have much effect, but now they were destroyed by the other side without firing a single shot. The awkwardness in their hearts made the two completely speechless. The two could only sit on the chairs, looking at each other, and experiencing the sadness of each.

The first moment the heavy artillery rang out, the British, French and Indian soldiers who were defending in front were stunned, but the attacking Wehrmacht troops were not stunned. The offensive was as fierce as ever, and the barrels of the heavy machine guns were almost reaching their firing limits, and a trace of smoke was emitting. Many soldiers have replenished ammunition once, and some have even replenished it twice, and even changed their weapons. The frequency of firing is too high, this is already the heart of the defense of the British and French forces, and the British, French and Indian soldiers have become very dense, basically a shuttle of bullets can sweep seven or eight Anglo-French and Indian soldiers.

The Anglo-French-Indian soldiers also quickly reflected that the target of the shelling was behind them, not here at all. But they didn't have time to wonder about anything, because the muzzle of the Chinese army's guns was pointed at their heads.

Although the sound of artillery fire drowned out the sound of gunfire, the intensity of the battle became higher and higher, as if stimulated by the sound of artillery, many British, French and Indian soldiers simply ran out of the trenches, holding grenades and intending to die with the advancing armored vehicles. It's just that the ending is very tragic, as long as they dare to run out of the trenches, it will definitely be difficult to survive. Maybe only hiding in the trenches and throwing grenades outside will have a chance, but will the Wehrmacht soldiers give them a chance? The answer was no, as long as the distance was approached by fifty meters, the Wehrmacht's grenades and flamethrowers beckoned first, not giving them a chance at all.

Under excessive stress, the average person has three reactions. One is to go crazy directly, one is to wait for death silently, and the other is to fight hard. There was no shortage of soldiers in the third condition in the Anglo-French-Indian coalition army, and more and more Anglo-French-Indian soldiers ran out of the trenches, and this wave also caused a huge chain reaction, with more allied soldiers running out of the trenches. They only have one thought now, if they want to die, they will die quickly, they are already going crazy.

Every day it was bombarded, and the shells were like rain, densely packed. As for the planes, it is estimated that there are fewer than locusts. I finally survived artillery fire and planes, but I had to face a group of perverted soldiers. It is said that bullets do not have long eyes, but the soldiers of the British and French forces feel that this sentence is a fart, and the bullets of the Chinese army have long eyes and drill into people's heads.

The Anglo-French army was not without mortars, nor was it without machine guns, but what was the use of that thing? He hasn't fired yet, he has already been destroyed by the other side. It's useless to hide in the bunker, every time the light and heavy machine guns fire, it will attract more powerful fire suppression, followed by countless shells, so that you don't have a chance to fire at all, and in the end you can only be burned alive.

This is their daily experience, no matter how good their mental quality is, they have been like this for more than ten days in a row, and a few people can stand it. Amazement, horror, habit, numbness, hunger, despair, once these are over, will we be far from madness?

In the face of this kind of action of not being afraid of death, the Wehrmacht soldiers were also slightly stunned, but they immediately reflected that the trigger in their hands was pulled more diligently. The light and heavy machine guns, which had been gradually lowering their rate of fire, were all adjusted to the maximum rate of fire at one time. The speed of the armored car also slowed down, and the heavy machine guns or flamethrowers on it did not stop for a moment.

The British, French, and Indian soldiers who ran out of the trenches fell in pieces under the dense bullets. In front of the Wehrmacht soldiers, a mound made of the corpses of coalition soldiers was slowly forming. When all the British, French, and Indian soldiers who had run out of the trenches had fallen, they did not even run thirty meters in front of the Wehrmacht. The flames from the flamethrower continued to burn on the corpse, emitting a pungent smell.

This platoon of positions was quickly taken, and by this time the Anglo-French forces had been compressed again, and the diameter of their defense was probably less than two kilometers. However, at this point in the attack, the Wehrmacht soldiers stopped the attack, and the British and French soldiers had just brought them many shocks. The commanders of several directions of the front troops contacted Huang Bai one after another, and invariably asked Huang Bai for instructions on whether to start surrendering, so that the war could only add unnecessary casualties.

The other party has lost his fighting spirit, and he is completely looking for death again. For such an enemy, the soldiers of the Wehrmacht did not want to kill too much. Kill such an opponent without the slightest sense of honor.

The order was soon handed down, and the infantry stopped attacking and defended in place. But the heavy artillery division did not stop, as long as it did not destroy all the opponent's artillery, the heavy artillery division would not stop.

At this time, the entrance to the cave of the British and French forces was completely covered by artillery fire, and it can be said that there was no gap in the slightest. The fighters who came to support have also been circling here, originally they were going to come to support the infantry, but after receiving that the infantry had stopped attacking, they could only come here to see if there was anyone who needed help. It's just that although it was very lively here, they couldn't intervene, and in the end they could only drop the bomb under the belly of the plane and swing the tail of the plane to fly back.

The shelling lasted for ten minutes, and although only the heavy artillery division belonging to the Praetorian Guard attacked, not the entire artillery group together, but in this short ten minutes, the heavy artillery division poured at least 2,000 shells. The entire cave entrance has been peared dozens of times, not to mention those artillery, even the earthworms in the ground will be shocked to death.

As soon as the cannon stopped, the whole battlefield fell into a brief peace, except for the crackling sound of those burning wood, the whole battlefield was silent for a while.

The attack stopped, and some Anglo-French soldiers simply stepped out of their trenches and looked at the Wehrmacht in the distance.

As if they wanted to remember what their opponent looked like, they stared at the Wehrmacht soldiers without blinking.
