The fierce artillery fire rang out again, that was the bombardment Monty had requested.
He believed that if tanks covered the infantry, they could avoid being hit by shells to some extent, and now might be a good time for an artillery barrage.
This idea seemed correct. Under the British artillery strike, the German firepower significantly reduced, and shadows of retreating Germans were vaguely seen.
The British tanks seized the opportunity to speed up, and the soldiers behind also began their charge. With a loud shout, Monty successfully led his troops into the first German trench.
Unexpectedly, victory came so easily, and Monty was filled with wild joy.
However, before he could fortify the position, the Germans launched a counterattack.
At this moment, the tanks stopped in front of the trench, afraid to move forward. The drivers were unsure if they could cross the widened trench in front of them; without orders, they dared not take the risk.
