Fighting broke out again behind the British army, and the fire and explosion shocked the British army on the front line. This is different from the previous small fights of the Germans. In terms of scale, this is at least a military-level battle. The British army's successful advancement of more than ten kilometers has finally become a total joke. The Germans have not been defeated. Everything just now was just a cruel joke to the British like a monster playing with its prey!

　　 If someone can stand in the sky and observe the ground here through the darkness, they can clearly see that the German armored forces tear open the British defense line like a plow, and there is no grass in the place where they lock the country! The black lines that traverse the British army's front continue to extend and merge to form a blockade line. This blockade line is like a noose around the necks of the British, and when they realize this, everything is already Too late! Hope has burst like a bubble!

　　 "There seems to be an accident behind us." A British officer looked at the skyrocketing fire rising behind him in horror. Based on experience, he knew that there should be a dump of ammunition, and the ammunition was detonated!

"It doesn't matter. Our follow-up troops are enough to destroy these running German troops. We must now attack the small town in front, and then use the last period of time before dawn to quickly build fortifications and shelters." Another officer looked at the distance. Huoguang said after looking at the small town that was already in a fierce battle.

　　The British army, who had been attracted by the German-defended towns in the front, ignored the disturbances that followed, because they could not be distracted. Once they gave up, all their previous efforts and efforts would be in vain. Now the British army is already riding a tiger. Whether it is the enemy in front or the enemy behind, you must always destroy one, otherwise it will be the result of being flanked by both sides in the daytime.

　　 Marshal Haig finally learned about the changes on the battlefield, and several powerful German troops almost crossed the British front. Hundreds of thousands of British troops were almost cut in half, and in the melee just now, the British lost a lot of artillery and supplies. And now, only four hours before dawn, Marshal Haig shuddered at the thought of the overwhelming bombing by the Luftwaffe after dawn! Now he has only two options. The first option is to withdraw the second half of the British army, and the second option is to swarm forward and solve the opponent while the Germans are based on maintaining stability! After only thinking about it for less than half a minute, Marshal Haig decided to make a desperate move!

The British played out all the reserve teams this time, and they rushed to the fighting area like moths on fire. The British did not know how many Germans were involved in the assault, or even where they were. , While the night brought convenience to the British, it also made the chaos in command inevitable. Under this circumstance, the battle at the army and division level has directly become the brigade and regiment level! On a front that stretched for more than 20 kilometers, the German armored forces rushed into a rampage, and the British reinforcements became a chaos after the involvement!

　　 The roar of artillery and machine guns rang all through the night, and the smell of blood donations and gunpowder smoke turned everything here into a Shura field. The dead bodies and burning vehicle wreckage declared to the world the cruelty of this battle. The two sides were completely mixed together, and there were many accidental injuries caused by tension and chaos, but no matter what, the Germans eventually dragged them down. When the sun rose, the British army still failed to penetrate the German defense line. , The British army of nearly 7 divisions in the front was still firmly surrounded. The British reserve team responsible for this attack also suffered heavy losses.

In this evening, the British knew that they used the Germans to launch an offensive. The Germans were also sending troops day and night. With the cooperation of the French, there were at least six more in this night. The German army of the division entered the battlefield, and when the dawn sun rose, it was the signal of the German counterattack!

"Marshal Haig, the day is about to dawn, and we still haven't reached the expected goal. Our troops are in the wilderness, entangled with the Germans, and it may be too late to retreat." Admiral Wilson He said with an earthy face that the British army's effort did not achieve the original goal of the battle. Although the Germans must have paid tens of thousands of casualties in the fierce battle this night, it was a pity that it did not help! The strength of the ten divisions of the British army was firmly restrained by the Germans and could not be withdrawn, and after daybreak, the fate of these troops had been determined!

"Order the Fourth and Fifth Army Groups to recover their troops northward as much as possible. The equipment and ammunition that can't be taken away are directly blown up. It's as much as you can run." Marshal Haig thought for a while and said, now he has no power to mobilize. The troops went to rescue, so we could only use the time when the Germans eliminated the night attack on the British army to withdraw their troops northward as much as possible~lightnovelpub.net~ As for the two southern army groups with a total of more than 400,000 troops, how much can they eventually return? ? Marshal Haig didn't know, maybe it was 40,000 or 60,000, but it would never exceed six figures!

　　 The British are mentally prepared to lose their counterattacks, and the Germans are also ready to laugh. But what was unexpected to the British was that just after the Germans on the southern front line withstood the British counterattack, the Germans on the front battlefield also began to launch a full-scale offensive. The roar of thousands of artillery broke the peace of the battlefield, and the Germans were at the same time. Assaults were launched in more than a dozen places. Every minute, more than ten tons of artillery shells fell on the British positions. In Dunkirk, the atmosphere of the fighting between the two sides could be felt in the distance, and the attack was launched behind the Germans. , The Germans on the front also began to attack!

There are two axes of the German offensive. The Lille area on the northern line and the Cambrai area on the southern line are the most important areas of the German offensive. The former is a prominent part of the British army and at the same time guards the last retreat of the British army— -Dunkirk Port. And if the latter can be won, it can close the southern encirclement in advance and completely block the British forces of the two armies! And now because the British army has used too many mobile units to launch a counterattack against the Germans, they can no longer produce enough troops to resist the Germans on both fronts at the same time!

"Now, we concentrate all the elite defenses in the Lille area. This is our last barrier. We must not discard it. Tell the two army groups on the southern front that the main force is no longer able to provide reinforcements. I ask them to hold their opponents for half a month. After that, they can choose to surrender!" Marshal Haig sent a telegram!
