?? "What a beautiful sound, what a beautiful scene! I really hope that the bombardment of the fleet can kill all those British!" Admiral Crook put down the binoculars in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, General! Now it's the British's turn to tremble under our bombardment. I think the naval bombardment will certainly not do much harm to the British. But for their morale blow, It must be fatal. At that time, we can easily defeat these British people." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

?? Admiral Crook nodded: "It seems that this **** battle will be over soon."

??For the German Army, after the battle on the French battlefield is over, most of the battle has been completed. Next, it was the turn to attack the British mainland. Although, the British will definitely persist in resistance at home. However, it is foreseeable that the German Army will definitely use its powerful combat power to smash the resistance of the British. At that time, this battle will be over.

"General, our infantry must get ready. After the fleet's bombardment is over, launch an attack immediately. Before the British can react, attack Le Havre and end the battle as quickly as possible." Lu Lieutenant General Dendorf said.

?? "Well, it's totally possible. This idea is very good!" Admiral Crook nodded again and again.

??When the German fleet bombarded Le Havre, the infantry of the 1st Army and the 8th Army also slowly approached Le Havre. However, they did not launch an attack immediately, but waited for their own fleet to complete the shelling before launching an attack.

??Originally, the morale of the troops suffered heavy losses due to the heavy shelling of the British fleet. But now, it has begun to recover rapidly. The soldiers watched the artillery shells of their own fleet continuously fall into the city of Le Havre. Smoke and smoke, straight into the sky. This feeling boosted their morale. I am more confident in defeating the enemy.

??Although, the shelling of large-caliber naval guns is very shocking. However, if it is one's own large-caliber naval guns bombarding the enemy, it will undoubtedly increase one's morale. This played a big role in restoring the morale of the German army.

??Of course, this is not so wonderful for the British who are undergoing fierce German naval artillery strikes. They had realized what it would be like to be bombarded by such a large-caliber naval gun. Although the former dreadnought of the German army used a 280mm main gun, in terms of power, it was no worse than the British Navy's 305mm main gun. The heavy high-explosive bomb contains a large amount of explosives. Once it explodes, it can destroy everything around it.

??The defensive positions hastily constructed by the British Expeditionary Force were easily destroyed under the bombardment of these large-caliber artillery shells, like paper. Also destroyed were the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force. They were destroyed from body to spirit.

?? "My God! So the shelling of large-caliber naval guns is so terrifying!" Dozens of British soldiers hid in a modified anti-bunker cave in a basement. Although, the basement has been reinforced. But whether they can withstand the large-caliber naval guns of the German army, they have no idea.

?? Violent explosions continued to sound, and the entire basement seemed to be shaking. Dust kept falling from the ceiling of the basement, making the British soldiers hiding inside feel ashamed. However, no one cares about these at all. Now, everyone can only pray to God that the basement can withstand the bombardment of the German large-caliber naval guns. In this case, they might be able to save their lives. Otherwise, if the basement collapsed, they would all have to be buried alive in it.

?? "As long as it is not directly hit, it should be able to withstand it!" said a British officer.

??However, just as he finished speaking, there was an earth-shattering explosion. The ceiling in the basement was cracked suddenly during the explosion. A large number of stones fell, and the British soldiers below were buried in it before they had time to react.

?? This is a 280mm artillery shell, which directly hit the top of this basement. Even if it is reinforced, it cannot withstand this large-caliber naval gun.

??Under the heavy shelling of the German fleet, the losses of the British Expeditionary Force began to soar. Numerous soldiers of the expeditionary force were killed in the explosion, or were buried alive because of the collapse of the anti-battery holes. Few people were seriously injured. Because once it is affected by large-caliber naval guns, it is basically death.

?? The headquarters of the expeditionary force is very strong after all. Even if it is directly hit by a large-caliber naval gun, it may not necessarily be blown up. However, the hearts of Sir French, Admiral Haig and Admiral Gough were like winter.

?? Now, their troops are under heavy German shelling, and their losses are increasing. But they can't do anything, they can only watch all this helplessly. And, they are predictable. Once the German army launches an attack, the British Expeditionary Force may not be able to resist it at all. How could the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force whose will to fight have collapsed be the opponents of the wolf-like German army?

??But they can only do nothing about it.

?? Neither Sir French nor Admiral Haig can do anything about it. What they can do is probably to watch the expeditionary army go to its final demise step by step. Even, these senior generals ended up with two endings, one was captured by the German army, and the other lost their lives on the battlefield.

??Although, the British Army has a practice of rescuing important generals back to the country at the last moment. However, the German fleet is just off the coast of Le Havre, and it is very difficult to rescue these generals in China!

??The heavy shelling of the German fleet lasted for a whole morning. They caused extremely serious casualties to the British Expeditionary Force. In the afternoon, the attack of the German 1st Army and 8th Army started again. In this attack, the 1st Army invested six infantry divisions, and the 2nd Army invested 4 infantry divisions. Hundreds of thousands of people divided into five directions and stormed Le Havre.

??The morale of the British Expeditionary Force had dropped to freezing point as early as the heavy shelling by the German fleet. This made them have no courage to resist the German attack. The battle was almost a scene of collapse at the touch of a button. The troops of the British Expeditionary Force collapsed as soon as they encountered the German attack. It can be said that there is no suspense in this battle.
