In the summer of 1916, the British offensive on the Somme in France became the bloodiest battle in history, costing thousands of soldiers in blood with each advance.

On August 30, the first batch of 50 "Mark I." tanks was secretly transported from Britain to France. At the beginning of September, the helpless British General Haig decided that the deadlock in the trenches on the Western Front must be broken, and ordered the "Mark I." tank, which was a new weapon, to be put into operation on September 13.

This is the first time that tanks have been used in the world. In total, the British threw 49 "Mark I." tanks to the front. However, after the tank formation that participated in the battle set off on September 13, before it reached the front battlefield, 17 of them broke down halfway for various reasons.

In this way, almost a third of the armored formations lost their combat effectiveness before firing a single shell. The remaining 32 tanks, having driven to their destination not far from the German positions, dispersed on an 8-kilometer front and began to bombard the German positions with 57-mm guns.

In order to achieve the attempt of a surprise attack, General Haig ordered all tanks to break through to the German positions in the early hours of September 15.

September 15, 1916.

In the early hours of the morning, the battlefield was smoky. The British tanks "Mark I." began to creak towards the German positions and soon disappeared from the sight of the British commanders.

However, before the 32 tanks could reach the German positions, 14 more lay on their stomachs: either they had technical failures, got stuck in the mud, or fell into craters. In this way, only 18 vehicles participated in the first tank battle in the world. The tanks were moving slowly towards the German positions like old scalpers.

The German soldiers who were waiting in the trenches suddenly heard an extremely strange metallic noise coming from the direction of the British position, and they did not know what the mystery was, and they stuck their heads out of the trenches to peep.

The German soldiers suddenly noticed that the strange-looking mechanical device had emerged from the no-man's land in the fog and crawled straight towards the German position. Before the German soldiers could figure out what was going on, the "monster" suddenly erupted into flames.

Some German soldiers immediately collapsed in pools of blood. The rest of the German soldiers were terrified and fled from the trenches, scrambling to the rear. As a result, the British quickly occupied the trenches.

Relying on the might of the tanks, the British quickly advanced to the third line of German defense.

The 16th Company of the Supplementary Battalion of the 3rd Bavarian Infantry Regiment of the German Army.

Now, Captain Ernst Breem, Lieutenant Wang Weiyi, must face a challenge from the British with his soldiers!

B, 7 a.m.

The soldiers of the 3rd Company had heard that the enemy had used a steel weapon on the battlefield, but they had nothing to worry about.

For before that, Lieutenant Ernst had already briefed the soldiers of the 3rd Company in detail about the new weapons of war that the British would use, and how to stop the damned monsters.

The sound of artillery, gunfire, and explosions was all over the place, and there was fierce fighting everywhere, including the positions of the third company.

"Attack, attack! The enemy is attacking! Sergeant Hall, who had first spotted the British, cried out.

"Get into position and get ready for battle!"

Under Wang Weiyi's loud call, all the soldiers entered their combat posts.

Damn the British, let them come, the heroic and fearless German soldiers are waiting for them.

The Makqin heavy machine gun stared at the opposite side with fierce eyes, and the three "masters" of the MG08 Makqin heavy machine gun, Sean, Beverly, and Ekin, breathed a little heavily.

Let the damned Britons come, and soon they will learn how good they are!

Wang Weiyi found that he was also a little nervous, this was his first positional battle, and it would be false to say that he was not nervous.

A large group of Britons appeared, and Wang Weiyi licked his lips before making a gesture. The guns in the hands of the German soldiers were raised.

"Kill them! Kill them! ”

It was the almost curse-like voice of Adolf Hitler beside him.

Wang Weiyi smiled unknowingly.

The enemy is getting closer

"Kill them!"

With Wang Weiyi's roar, his hand also fell.

The light and heavy weapons on the position opened fire in unison.

In an instant, with Maxim's roar, the British fell like wheat. The British, who had been struck suddenly, fell to the ground in a panic.

The gunfire of the Germans also immediately became sparse.

These well-trained soldiers, they will never waste their bullets easily, Wang Weiyi admired in his heart.

probably thinking that there would be no future in lying on their stomachs like this, and after a while, the British got up from the ground one after another.

At a glance, it was densely packed with enemies, what a good target.

This time it was the submachine gun in Wang Weiyi's hand that sounded first, and he saw with his own eyes that a British soldier was shot and fell down in pain clutching his chest.

He also saw the British soldier struggling in a pool of blood, clutching his throat with his hand, as if to exhale something, but he could not do anything. In a second, he died.

In fact, all the soldiers, whether German or British, were not wrong in this war, they were only fighting to achieve the goals of those statesmen.

Boncrere's marksmanship was so accurate that the Mauser rifle seemed to have life in his hands, and the bullets always found the enemy automatically, almost one shot at a time.

Wang Weiyi found that Boncrere's expression was very serious, as if he was doing a very sacred thing. And every time he knocks down an enemy, he always says something out of his mouth.

Wang Weiyi had asked Boncrere about it, and the brilliant sharpshooter had told him that he was praying for the enemy who had fallen under his gun.

What a brave and lovely soldier.

Sean, the main shooter of the heavy machine gun, was completely different, and he did not hesitate to pour bullets into the enemy, while constantly cursing there.

It is said that Sean will become a madman when it comes to fighting, which does not seem to be true at all.

Adolf Hitler's eyes on Wang Weiyi seemed to be shooting there with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he still couldn't get rid of his nervousness.

The bullets hit the enemy mercilessly, and the enemy fell in large numbers, and the front of the position became a terrible meat grinder, mercilessly dragging life one by one into it and then grinding it to pieces.

This is the most real and terrifying battlefield!

The British obviously couldn't hold it anymore, and at this moment, there was a sudden roar behind them, and then the British soldiers consciously flashed to both sides.

Wang Weiyi looked over there, and then shouted:

"Tank!"
