2080. Chapter 2080
However, soon the British could not laugh. These guys roared and crushed barbed wire, track plates and barbed wire, corpses or something, and made a sound that made people feel sour. Some British people tried to stop them, but the British army lacked anti-armor firepower could only watch the dense bullets hit the other side and produce a flash of fire. With the jingling sound, these extra-large iron cans finally approached the British trenches!
"Fire!" With the issuance of the attack order, a fire dragon more than 90 meters flew out of the tiny nozzle. Under the action of high-pressure gas, the viscous fuel flew out of the tiny nozzle at an extremely high speed and then ignited the front of the nozzle! The fire dragons flew into the trenches and twisted their bodies freely in the narrow space. They ignited everything they could touch. The characteristic fuel had extremely strong adsorption. Once in contact with the human body, even a little flame would be quite fatal. The fuel would penetrate into your skin, and the flame would burn like roots. If you dare to slap with your hands at this time, then the flame would quickly spread throughout the body. Only with sand or a wet towel could it be possible to extinguish the fire by isolating the air. But unfortunately, the subsequent infection would still kill more than 90% of the people!
It is not the first time that the flamethrower has been on the battlefield, but this super monster weighing more than 15 tons and can spew out a pillar of fire more than 100 meters has been on the battlefield for the first time. These guys, known as fire-breathing beasts, firmly imprinted their fierce reputation in the other party's minds for the first time they entered the battlefield!
The Germans had no intention of letting go of any British army. Several fire-breathing beasts moved slowly, and then gradually swept each section of trench with flames, igniting wherever you hid, whether it was a trench, an anti-cannon hole or a bunker. As long as you opened your mouth, the surging fire dragons could get in! Then burn everything in it! The crackling sound of burning and explosions sounded on the battlefield, and these sounds made the British feel even more terrifying than the roar of machine guns and the roar of artillery. The British watched their colleagues burn into a personal torch. These guys were wailing, running, rolling, and the flames kept running, and the smell of fuel and grease burning was disgusting.
"When you see vehicles with long nozzles, you must be careful. Unless you have anti-tank guns, it is better to avoid them. These guys are more deadly than wolf tanks and Hu Feng assault guns. Facing the machine guns and artillery of the tank, you can hide in trenches or bunkers to avoid death, but these things will never stop the guys in front of you. The range is very close, but their attacks cannot be avoided. Those flames like demon fire can pour in from ventilation outlets, shooting holes, etc., and then burn everything you encounter. If you are lucky enough not to be burned by the flames, you do not mean you are out of danger. If you cannot leave quickly, you will be suffocated by poisonous gas. Open the door of a bunker and you can see some people's corpses bulging out, their eyes are protruding, and their necks and chests are scratched. These are people who are suffocated."
"If a soldier next to you is hit by a flamethrower, then don't hesitate and give him a shot immediately! This is not only to help him get rid of the most painful moments in his life, but also good for the remaining comrades, because those who lose their minds will collide with others. It is not uncommon for a person to cause three or four people next to him to be burned to death because of a certain person's behavior. The flamethrower is a devil's weapon, and the Germans have carried them forward!" A British army in his diary with lingering fear in his diary!
The fire-breathing beasts moved slowly, leaving behind burning wreckage and charred corpses. While cleaning up the British infantry in the trench, the heavy mortars and thunderbolts that had just been deployed also showed their power. The Germans used similar weapons with greater power, more curved trajectory to deal with the British. Destroy or suppress them. With the cover of the mortars and fire-breathing beasts, the previously suppressed German infantry jumped out of the craters and trenches and launched an attack again. The machine guns and grenades harvested the remaining British troops. The Germans did not check when they crossed the trench because they knew that according to common sense, there should be no enemies here!
Although the Germans' attack speed was incomparable to the speed of rushing dozens of kilometers in a day and night, it was very stable. The British had thought of launching a counterattack, but after several battles, General Short, the commander of the British Fourth Army, had a feeling of being unable to do so. (The original commander of the Fourth Army had died in an air raid for several hours. A bomb weighing 1 ton buried the commander, his staff and more than three-digit British troops forever. It merged with the land of France!)
"In just a few days, my army has gone from a full army with a large number of artillery, tanks and armored vehicles to a light infantry unit. Most of our artillery and tanks were destroyed or suppressed. The front-line army was lucky and could find several 15-pound rapid-fire cannons. If we were not lucky, we could only use the rifle and light machine gun in our hands to resist the German tank augmentation artillery. In terms of firepower, we directly degenerated to the 1990s. The Germans were stronger than a few months ago."
"Under the German heavy artillery bombardment day and night, it is difficult for us to mobilize troops on a large scale, even at night. The Germans are not afraid of wasting shells, nor do they consider whether there are people in the target area during the shelling. The shells will always fall on the key road leading to the front line. Looking from the air, even the roadbed was completely blown up, and a series of dense craters replaced the position of the roadbed. If you walk over and grab a handful of soil and feel the pain like a needle, you can remove the floating soil and see the shrapnel inside!" Admiral Schott recorded the situation at that time in his diary a few days before the Fourth Army was annihilated.
After the frontal offensive was launched, the Germans broke into the British trench for 12 to 16 kilometers in two days, and some areas were even penetrated! A large number of British troops were divided and surrounded in the trench system, and at this point, anyone knows that the remaining time of the two British armies in the south may only be calculated in hours.
At this time, the detoured army commanded by Kariput was eating the British counterattack troops in one bite and cooperating with the German army on the front to completely encircle the two British armies in the south. On the northern line, the German army attacking Lille and the three most elite British armies were indistinguishable from each other. If the two British armies on the southern line were already weak, then the British army on the northern line still had a certain combat effectiveness! This is especially true in terms of heavy artillery, because another group of naval personnel joined the battle with artillery obtained from warships and warehouses!
