"Firepower ready..."
The earth began to tremble.
The sentinels of the Chris Infantry Battalion suddenly realized something was wrong. What was this? Why was the ground shaking beneath their feet? Was the enemy launching a massive attack?
No, it couldn't be!
The sentinels looked ahead in confusion...
In the pitch-black night, nothing could be seen... Suddenly, a soldier pointed ahead in terror and exclaimed:
"What's that?"
The three steel monsters that had caused so much trouble for the Prince of Solberg's camp reappeared!
Now, it was 10:30 PM at the position of the 19th Infantry Regiment of Wales.
Not everything was going wrong; at least there was one thing that was very advantageous for Wang Weiyu. Strictly speaking, the Welsh regiment was not a sharp British military force.
As the First World War continued, casualties increased, and Britain faced a shortage of troops. At this time, Lord Kitchener of Britain proposed the "Hundred Thousand Army" plan:
To recruit a large number of volunteers into the army! After a brief training, they would be immediately deployed to the battlefield.
When Lord Kitchener's call for volunteers was answered, the British government couldn't provide them with enough uniforms and weapons. Measures were taken, such as purchasing civilian clothing and boots from stores, resulting in various versions of dark blue jackets and trousers appearing in the volunteer army, as dark blue fabric was easier to obtain than khaki.
The troops of Lord Kitchener were very resentful of their blue uniforms because it marked them as rookies, and the regular army also viewed them as "militia."
The 19th Infantry Regiment of Wales was Lord Kitchener's first "Hundred Thousand Army," colloquially known as "militia."
Their soldiers received only brief training, and their weapons were primarily LEMkI rifles, and even a mixture of the old 1882 and 1888 versions of leather equipment was used. They also severely lacked heavy weapons such as machine guns.
The vast majority of them had never experienced real war, and their main task was to consolidate existing positions.
And this gave Wang Weiyu another chance to create a miracle!
The three Type B tanks appeared again!
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Wang Weiyu's mouth as he gripped the machine gun in his hand.
"The battlefield has arrived, request permission to fire!"
Wang Weiyu took a deep breath and uttered two words that would make the British utterly terrified:
"Fire!"
The Breitdagger cannon roared terrifyingly, instantly breaking the silence of the night.
The shells fell on the enemy positions dominantly, creating huge shockwaves in an instant. Several sentinels were thrown into the air by the shock!
The massacre began again!
The tanks rampaged across the battlefield that was about to be stained with blood and fire, while at the same time, the machine gun in Wang Weiyu's hand also roared frantically.
This was the command! The other machine guns also opened fire!
With shells accompanied by the destructive firepower of the machine guns pouring onto the enemy positions, this was the first battle encountered by the 19th Infantry Regiment of Wales since stepping onto the battlefield, and also the most terrifying battle.
Under the dual onslaught of shells and machine gun bullets, the volunteers of the Welsh regiment fell into tremendous chaos.
Most of them were asleep and had no idea of the enormous disaster about to happen.
As shells exploded in their barracks, emitting terrifying roars and flames, the soldiers panicked and ran out of the barracks, some even bare-chested.
Colonel Cardington also rushed out in panic, and what he saw in front of him was an unimaginable scene!
Perhaps the assaulting enemy had brought artillery here, and shells were exploding here one after another. God, or maybe they had countless heavy machine guns; the bullets roaring seemed to only be described as crazy.
The soldiers of the Welsh regiment, who had never experienced such a scene, had no idea how to dodge. They ran around in panic under the bombardment of artillery and machine gun fire, which only increased their casualties.
Countless soldiers fell under the harvest of the tanks, and lives were taken away without any warning.
In fact, if they could calm down at this moment and organize some defense, Wang Weiyu, with three tanks, might not achieve greater results.
But obviously, the Welsh regiment, in chaos, was already in unimaginable terror. All they wanted now was to escape from this damn place as soon as possible!
This was the greatest difference between militias and regular armies!
Colonel Cardington was still an experienced officer, but unfortunately, no matter what orders he issued now, they could no longer be conveyed to his soldiers.
The tanks ravaged the Welsh regiment, and countless tongues of fire erupted one after another. The soldiers of the 19th Infantry Regiment of Wales cried and ran.
To hell with the war; now their only goal was to escape from this damn place
