"I personally prefer the second plan. Even if we can temporarily help the two southern armies get rid of the misfortune of being encircled and annihilated, it is impossible if we want to rely on the only two ports to withdraw millions of troops. On the one hand, it is insufficient capacity, and on the other hand, we need a lot of troops to cut off the rear." General Wilson said.

"I will seriously consider this issue. How is our supply situation now?" Marshal Heg asked after thinking about it.

"It's not very abundant. Our land logistics supply line has been cut off by the French. [31 Novel Network       Fast Update] All supplies can only be transported through the Dover Strait, and this is the hunting ground for the Luftwaffe and the submarine forces. Every ship of supplies we transport requires a learning price." Wilson said.

"Damn French, these guys are more abominable than Germans!" Marshal Heg's impression of the French had deteriorated to the extreme. "After a while, you will be responsible for contacting the country and tell them to transport more ammunition and less food, so that the saved transportation capacity is responsible for transporting personnel. We are about to start preparing to evacuate now, and first evacuate the wounded and logistics non-combatants."

"Marson, our army has at least 1.2 million troops and auxiliary personnel and as many as 500,000 war horses. If the transportation of food and forage is reduced, our supply may be problematic." Wilson said nervously.

"We have guns in our hands, and there are French cities here. If we cannot transport supplies, wouldn't they know how to rob them? We and the French are already enemies! Isn't it natural to use guns and cannons to obtain supplies from the enemy?" Marshal Heg roared loudly.

"Okay, I understand." Although I was a little resistant to this order, Wilson still implemented it. This was not only the reason for venting anger, but more importantly, doing so was the most beneficial to the British! You must know that the entire British army now relies on two ports for supply, and ship supplies are transported from the opposite port and they have to be transferred. However, both Calais and Dunkirk are within the attack range of German bombers. The materials are very dangerous during the transfer process. Therefore, in order to reduce losses and save transportation capacity as much as possible, it is undoubtedly the best choice to eat food for the enemy.

The top leaders of the British made this decision, and after receiving the news of the French betrayal, the middle and lower classes of the British army were even more relaxed. They treated the French, who were still allies a few days ago as enemies, which surprised and angry the French civilians who did not know the situation. This behavior against the people completely cut off the possibility of reconciliation between Britain and France, and the political influence was far beyond the expectations of Hege and others. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now!

After some discussion, Marshal Heg was still ready to fight desperately. The mobile forces of the three British armies in the north had been reassembled, part of which was used to defend the German army directly on the coast. The main mobile corps with 20 divisions were ready to attack the German army from both north and south directions with the mobile corps of the two armies on the southern front. In the eyes of the British, the German army was still relatively weak after breaking in. Including the forces of the entire 25 divisions on the southern front to launch a counterattack, not to say that they would defeat the opponent, and it would be no problem to curb the opponent's attack. In order to avoid the German air superiority, the British army was preparing to launch an attack at night.

While the British had formulated a counterattack plan, Ruprecht was also re-adjusting the deployment at the German Western Front Command.

"Our troops have successfully raided the rear facilities and heavy artillery positions of the British Fourth and Fifth Army, many of which have approached the British trenches. Our army on the front can also launch an attack. As long as we concentrate our efforts to attack Crozier, we can successfully cut off the retreat route of the two British gangs on the southern front and then surround them." Little Moltke said, pointing to the huge map.

"Wait first, if I were a British, I would not give up the two southern army easily. This is not only a military issue but also a political issue. They will soon have a counterattack. It is better to fight in the wilderness than in the trench area." Ruprecht said.

"The British can also wait. They can wait until we attack the Crozierton soldiers below the city before launching a counterattack." Prince Albert, who was listening, said.

"The British cannot wait. Time is on our side. As time goes by, more and more troops will cross the defense line. Therefore, the British will have the opportunity in these two days. The latest will not be later than the day after the day after the attack begins." Ruprecht said. So, the day after the attack begins, the Germans slowed down the attack pace and waited for reinforcements behind them. The Germans, who were responsible for capturing the port in the north, continued to attack and advance. The British did not let the Germans wait too long. On the third night after the attack begins, the British launched the largest round of counterattack in the battle!

"Hisser Commander, we are preparing very hasty. Not only do we lack sufficient heavy weapons to attack, but we are not even sufficient ammunition." Wilson looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was only an hour before the attack officially began.

"I know that our troops may not have much advantage this time. The only advantage is that we have a certain amount of siege cannons and train cannons. The Germans attacked quickly and could not carry too many heavy cannons. If we delayed our preparations, we might be more sufficient, but the Germans would be more sufficient, and time would not stand on our side. We do not seek to annihilate the young Germans, as long as we can repel them." Marshal Heg and Ruprecht had the same view on this point. Time was on the side of the Germans, and the British could not afford to delay!

As time passed, when the clock finally reached the moment when the attack began, the night on the Western Front was once again interrupted by the roar of artillery like thunder. Countless fires on the British positions were connected into a circle, illuminating the entire night sky like day. The British gathered all the artillery that could be transported, and they launched suppressed artillery bombardment on the German army at any cost, extending from the front where both sides bit together to the German army's 20 kilometers behind the front! As many as 2,000 artillery of various caliber roared wildly, emitting the final challenge to the hunter like a dying beast!

After a two-hour shelling, on the front line that lasted dozens of kilometers, teams of British troops jumped out of the trench under the command of grassroots officers and rushed towards the German positions. This time, the British had the advantage of firepower, and the darkness made it very difficult for the air force to support. In terms of night infantry close combat, the British believed that they were definitely not inferior to the Germans. The British troops of 25 divisions on the north and south sides rushed towards the German protrusion like huge pliers!
