To be honest, the first wave of naval guns was too concentrated on the front line of defense, and had little impact on the surrounding army. Many people even did not feel the power of naval guns, and the attack ended. They did not really feel the power of such artillery, but they began to evacuate the troops according to the requirements of the command center.＜［?

But when the naval guns completely shook the defenders on the front line and continued toward depth, the Allied forces felt different. The previous evacuation was useless at all. Facing the slightest unreasonable attack on the naval gun, there was no difference. As long as the naval gun range was within the range of the naval gun, they were all targets of attack, and were spread everywhere. Almost one-third of the troops around the entire Bordeaux city were attacked suddenly.

After all, Bordeaux is near the sea. With all the offshore defense ships sunk, and even destroyers begin to sweep mines step by step, the battleships can even be close to 1.5 kilometers to the shore and cannot be approached anymore. Battleships are heavy ships, especially the emperor-class, weighing almost 50,000 tons. Such heavy ships with full loads hold very deep water. Although Germany can detect a lot of information from Britain and France, Germany will definitely not obtain hydrological information about the port of Bordeaux, especially the military port. Such hydrological information is top secret for any country.

That's right, if you know the hydrological information of a military port, a submarine and other ships can easily penetrate the port's defense lines and attack the port's interior, which is unacceptable for any military base.

In the early days of the war, Germany had war cases where submarines attacked military ports and caused damage. That was an example. On the one hand, Germany spent decades on that military port. Through speculation, the calculation finally obtained two suitable routes for entry. On the other hand, Britain did not have defenses. As long as a few mines were arranged in key places, the submarines could not enter even if they were powerful. That was from that day on, there was no news of German submarines attacking British ports, because Britain was on guard.

The same is true for Bordeaux. Among France's many ports and military ports, Bordeaux is not the most important. Ports such as Marseille are much more important than Bordeaux. Before the war, Germany paid more attention to Marseille, not Bordeaux. That is, after Bordeaux became the wartime accompanying capital, Germany began to pay attention, but it was too late. At most, it was determined the location of Bordeaux outside, and it was impossible to know if it was close to the inside of the military port.

Fortunately, for safety reasons, warships cannot attack on the shore that is close to a short distance. It is already good to reach a distance of 1.5 kilometers. This 13.5 kilometers away from the shore can almost cover most of Bordeaux, and the surrounding troops are also more than 20,000.

The subsequent attack of more than an hour was extremely lethal to the troops around Bordeaux. Although the number of casualties did not exceed 30,000 in the end, the naval guns were different from ordinary guns. Facing the total of naval guns, the shells were even faster than the sound. When they heard the sound, the shells came over and there was no place to hide.

Whether you are a well-trained elite soldier or a newly recruited recruit, the final result will be the same when facing such artillery fire. Waiting for the name of the artillery fire, or looking forward to being lucky, there is nowhere else to do it.

Before, I saw others being attacked, and at most I felt that such an indiscriminate attack was, but within 13.5 kilometers, in a narrow area of ​​10 kilometers, this is an army of more than 10 square kilometers and distributed 20,000, which is the most tormented.

Among them, the most unpleasant thing is Britain. Britain claims to be a naval power and has occupied the hegemony of the seven seas for hundreds of years, but their 6th army was attacked by the German navy indiscriminately. They did not come to rescue wherever the navy was or where the warships were. Is this the British Empire? In this way, there was even a huge commotion under the depressed morale.

The war reports on the front line were passed one by one. I had known that this time it would be a huge blow, but the blow was so big that I never expected that the 550,000 troops of the prominence were now confirmed to have been annihilated. Including the consumption of the fleeing, there may be no more than 400,000 troops. Even in peacetime, the losses of 400,000 troops were huge, not to mention that the war was at a critical moment, and the losses themselves were much greater than those of Germany. Suddenly, 40,000 troops were less, which was also a huge blow to the Allies.

All the senior officials in the British Admiralty looked at each other. Although Britain knew that such a result would be encountered, when such a result fell on their heads, it was really uncomfortable. The British Empire had never suffered such humiliation, but it would still humiliate them with the strongest place. Unfortunately, at this moment, there was no way to solve it, unless the remaining fleets of the Allied Powers were pressed up and attacked them. However, in that case, waiting for Britain's fate would be even more terrible. Britain would not be able to withstand such a blow. Once all the main ships of the British Empire were in this time, if they lost all the losses, the British Empire would have no way to resist Germany's attack. As long as Germany had a fast fleet, even all the main ships would be lost, it would be unacceptable to the British Empire. Once the traffic and routes on the periphery were cut off, it would be a catastrophe for China.

If the German High Seas Fleet launches an attack from time to time, Bordeaux will not be able to withstand it at all. From the current situation, it can be seen that the High Seas Fleet's attack on the Bordeaux defense line is actually weak, but the morale is huge and can only be passively beaten. This situation can be very unbearable, let alone twice or three times, and may collapse completely.

A solution must be found, but this seems to be a cycle of reincarnation. The cause is that the British side temporarily lost the control of the sea. As long as the British side regained the control of the sea, everything will be solved. But is this possible? Things will never be that simple?

Good news came from the United States. In a maximum of one month, the United States will be responsible for nine warships and can be put into the battle. This is not the perfection after the sea trial, but it is brought over after it is launched. This is impossible. After all, several battleships that are about to be completed have been hit on the ship platform. Now, both the United States and the United Kingdom have big problems. There is no time to slowly experiment and make these warships perfect. After all, the Allies are facing an urgent rush of 100,000.

But is this enough? Even if the nine battleships of the United States are put into use, the Allies and Germany will only be evenly divided. Perhaps the Allies have a certain advantage, because these nine ships are not simple warships, but this is a slightly enhanced version of Queen Elizabeth-class. The British technology and the American processing capabilities are combined. Compared with the original Queen Elizabeth-class, there is a little more strength. In this case, it should be able to fight against the opponent's main ships. In addition, the British auxiliary ships continue to suppress Germany. Britain has no confidence in defeating Germany. What Britain needs is to resist Germany's troops and prevent Germany from operating casually in their waters, and avoid the tragedy of Bordeaux again.

But at present, they must be shot, and they were beaten like a ship gun plowing the ground. All the Allied officials were very distressed. The commanders on the front line were frightened because they were surprised and faced with three hours of attack from the naval gun. Their men were in a state of unstable state. Yes, facing the name of the god of death, the Allied troops were not that stable, especially such irregular names.

This kind of naming is the greatest psychological pressure. Just like Russian roulette, there is only one bullet, but every time one may have a bullet falling on the head. When the bullet falls on the head, the moment of death comes, and many people can't even hold on to the end.

The same is true on the battlefield. Although we know that these shells and the naval guns cannot threaten them and cannot kill them one by one, when the shells fall on their heads, it means death. At this time, no one hides in the anti-cannon hole anymore. It is a completely decorative arrangement. It is okay to encounter high-explosive bombs, and there is no problem with infantry killing bombs. Once we encounter armor-piercing bombs, the regiment-level anti-cannon holes will be attacked by the naval guns. If we face the attack of the naval guns, it is better to hide outside, with the least chance. Even if the shells hit, the dead around the shells will be dead, and the others can still survive.

No one would still maintain a steely will in such a cruel name. Especially in the later stage, after the range of the opponent's naval guns was revealed, chaos began. First, the troops near the range of the range decisively fled to the other end. Then, as time passed, this change became increasingly intensified.

At the edge of the range, Bordeaux is more central to its position, but after the changes intensified, the defense of the Entente team was weakened, and even the Entente team on the front line was in a state of unstable state.

This sneak attack has already caused the 550,000 troops of the outskirts to be attacked. If there is another problem on the front line, a major problem will occur. As long as you break through the two lines of defense and sit on the two lines of defense, at least 120,000 troops will be directly threatened. The loss of 550,000 troops is acceptable. At least adjustments and adjustments are made to get all the new recruits in training. It will almost be smoothed out. However, if you lose another 120,000 troops, there will be a problem, and it will be a big problem. Even if you can defend the defense line in Bordeaux, there are problems. Now, the senior officials of the 6th Army who have already avoided the range can no longer sit still and began to intervene in the front line. (To be continued.) 8
