A German artillery officer put his eyes on the artillery team mirror and carefully observed the British position less than 800 meters away. Next to him were 10 flat-fire cannons of various calibers lined up. Although the British position was not far away, most people were very relaxed. For many veterans who had been fighting for more than half a year, this battle was the most comfortable battle they had ever experienced.

"The British never thought they were so weak today!" The German artillery officer observed the British positions opposite, and marked the bunkers and firepower points on the map. When the British army launched a desperate counterattack, the German army on the front also launched an attack. As usual, the two sides suppressed each other in a round of artillery attacks. Although the British army was weaker than the German army in artillery techniques, at least the two sides could fight back and forth. But today it was different. With less than half an hour after the German heavy artillery troops opened fire, they completely suppressed the two British armies on the opposite side! This was something that had never happened before.

So, after several tests, the German army found that the British army on the opposite side were not luring the enemy, but really couldn't do it. As a result, some bold German front-line commanders ordered the artillery troops responsible for flat-fire to move forward directly, push the artillery on the British forehead slowly, and then clean up the firepower points of the British army on the opposite side in an orderly manner.

After a series of fierce battles, the fourth and fifth British armies in the south were really hollowed out. Not to mention the war, they were the ones who faced the German raid troops first. In just a few days of fighting, the two British armies in the south lost more than half of their long-range support artillery! Many of them were new artillery, and they were directly dealt with by the British after firing less than 100 shells. Then, for the counterattack last night, the two armies divided some artillery from the front line. The final result was that the artillery that can deal with the front German assault was only less than 20% left! If this could be defeated by the opponent, it would be a devil!

"Fire!" The flat-fire artillery troops pushed to the British's forehead roared. These close-range shells were more deadly than howitzers in the distance! The precise strike and super high rate of fire allowed these artillery to have unparalleled lethality at close range. The British bunker might as well have a thick layer of rammed earth, concrete and wood to build a defense line, but this is not the case in front of the German 105mm cannon flat-fire!

Two 105mm cannons stared at a huge fire point. The Germans were in the other party's fire corner very well. The two cannons alternately tilted armor-piercing bombs towards the target at a rate of more than 6 rounds per minute! The sharp shells roared and hit the bunker, smashing the outer rammed earth layer to a large extent. The Germans were very patient and kept firing like water dripping through stones. Balls of flames exploded on the bunker. At first, yellow blocks of earth flew around, and then concrete blocks, constantly shooting and smashing the hard shell bit by bit. Finally, when the rising smoke column was mixed with a large amount of wood, it meant that the core part of the bunker had been hit, because there would be some huge wood inside the bunker to support the ceiling!

After occupying the advantage of air and long-range firepower, the German front-line artillery unscrupulously hit the British defense line on every battlefield. At first, some British troops tried to counterattack with rapid-fire cannons or mortars, but every time the British fired a shell, they were suppressed by several times of firepower. The Germans even moved the thunderbolters that could only hit a few hundred meters but could throw hundreds of kilograms of shells into the opposite trench to the front line. The bloody and slow attacks in the past turned into one-sided massacres. The German artillery and machine gun fire easily cut the opponent's positions and then crushed them!

To be honest, the German army that confronted the British army head-on was actually not very elite. The most elite troops of the entire Western Front were incorporated into the first two armies. Although the German army, opposite the entire British army, had a large number of heavy artillery, they lacked tanks and assault guns. Therefore, the German army could only slowly advance with the tactics of the cooperation of the primitive storm commandos and artillery. However, what the German army could not imagine was that the British army on the opposite side was even weaker. Even these retro tactics could not be stopped by the two British armies in the south at this time.

The Germans launched an attack according to their own steps. Long-range artillery frantically tilted towards the British artillery positions, logistics facilities and roads behind the positions. The barrage of dense artillery shells formed an intransitory firewall. These firewalls moved irregularly between the British positions, easily tearing apart any British people trying to cross here.

While completing the long-distance fire blockade, the frontal offensive forces also launched an attack with the support of direct aiming fire and mortars. The Wicks machine guns and 25-pound rapid-fire guns that had previously feared the German offensive forces had been suppressed or destroyed in their previous fire preparations. Except for those fish that escaped the net or ubiquitous snipers, the German army did not suffer much hinderment. Almost like an armed parade, the German army broke through the frontier positions and thought about deep development.

After entering the main position, the British resistance became fierce. The Fire King, composed of rapid-fire guns hidden in the reverse slope position and a large number of machine guns, once blocked the German offensive. The powerful but bulky Wicks family was abandoned, and the light Lewis machine guns and mortars became the biggest trouble for the German army. The British rarely used two bullet disks in one place. These experienced machine gun teams usually kept transferring positions. They used the trench system like spider webs to play hide-and-seek with the Germans. The British mortars used the ballistic advantage to block the German advance.

Bullets like locusts flew around the ground, and the unique sound of the mortars in the air was endless. Every shell fell, accompanied by the blooming flower of death, thousands of fragments harvested all the lives they could encounter like the sickle of the god of death. The German offensive team was suppressed between the trenches, craters and bushes. The British seemed to have temporarily stabilized the situation.

Several huge figures slowly emerged from the smoke. These steel giant beasts seemed to be similar to the German wolf tanks, but the reminder was even bigger. However, unlike the huge turret on the body of the wolf tank, the new guy's turret is very small, and it is ridiculous to be accompanied by a slender tube. By the way, there is another point that there is a small car behind these tanks, with a round can on it.
