    "Okay, Captain, I need to ask my superiors for instructions!" the second lieutenant platoon leader hesitated and then said!

    "Of course, Second Lieutenant! China and Germany are allies. I believe that your country will not refuse our legitimate demands!" German Captain Jonathan looked arrogant, as if he was determined to eat the Chinese!  The more than 150 soldiers in his company also burst out laughing.  In their view, those thin and short Chinese soldiers were no match for their tall and tall German soldiers.  In addition, there are only fifty Chinese on the opposite side. Their number is three times that of the Chinese. Even though the Chinese have defensive positions to rely on, they all believe that perhaps they can easily take down the enemy with just one charge.  Let¡¯s get down to the Chinese position!

    As for the fact that the Chinese Army easily defeated the British Army, the German Army didn't care at all.  In their view, the reason why the Chinese Army was able to defeat the British Army was not because the Chinese Army was too strong, but because the British Army was too rubbish!

    After the second lieutenant platoon leader returned to the position, he immediately reported to the company headquarters of the 4th company, and at the same time asked all the soldiers in the platoon to prepare for battle!

    The commander of the 4th company ordered the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon to reject the Germans' request and hold their position!  He will immediately bring troops to reinforce them!

    "Captain, we have found out that no German soldiers have entered our defense area. You should withdraw from our control area immediately. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to us, and all consequences will be borne by you!" the 2nd Platoon Commander shouted loudly.  Shout!

    "Damn it! Those yellow-skinned monkeys dare to play tricks on us!" Captain Jonathan's face suddenly turned livid. The Chinese actually rejected their request, which made their attempt come to nothing!

    "Send a telegram to the battalion headquarters. The Chinese have detained our missing soldiers and prohibited us from searching for the missing soldiers. Now, we are determined to use force to break through the Chinese defense lines and find the missing soldiers detained by the Chinese!" Captain Jonathan ordered  !

    The signal corps immediately sent a telegram to the rear, and the Germans immediately began preparations for battle!  The German heavy machine guns and light machine guns were set up and aimed at the Chinese army's positions. The soldiers were lying on the ground, ready to charge at any time.

    "What the hell, these Germans are really going to attack us! All squads are ready for battle, and the company commander will bring people to support us soon!" the second lieutenant of the 2nd platoon ordered!  He knew that this battle was probably inevitable!  However, although the Germans have a military advantage, it is impossible to break through their defense lines!  The commander of the 4th company has already arrived with his men, and it will take at most twenty minutes to see it!  There is still a whole regiment of troops in Gloucester to follow. Since the Germans want to provoke a war, they must be prepared to pay a heavy price!

    At 2:18 pm on July 2, Captain Jonathan issued the order to attack. Under the cover of two heavy machine guns, four light machine guns and a 60mm mortar, hundreds of German soldiers attacked the Chinese Army's position.  Launched an attack!

    "Fire! Kill all those idiots!" the 2nd platoon leader immediately ordered!  A heavy machine gun, three light machine guns and a 60mm mortar from the 2nd Platoon opened fire immediately!

    "Boom! Boom! Ta-ta-ta" mortar shells exploded in the queue of German Army soldiers, blowing away several charging German Army soldiers!  The crossfire formed by light and heavy machine guns completely blocked the German army's path forward. The German soldiers at the front were knocked to the ground, and at least a dozen of them were shot dead on the spot!  The remaining people were also suppressed and unable to move forward!

    "Hell! How come the Chinese have such powerful firepower? Just one platoon is actually equipped with one heavy machine gun, three light machine guns, and a mortar?" Captain Jonathan cursed!  This kind of firepower configuration is already much more powerful than the German Army. Even compared with his infantry company, it is not much weaker!

    "Mortars, knock out the enemy's machine guns!" Captain Jonathan ordered!  If they continue like this, they will pay greater casualties and will not be able to break through the Chinese army's defense line.  This is absolutely unacceptable to the German Army!

    "Boom!" The German mortar aimed at a firing light machine gun of the Chinese Army and blasted away.  The shell exploded not far from the light machine gun, killing the machine gunner immediately.  However, the deputy shooter immediately took over control of the machine gun and continued firing.  At the same time, Chinese Army mortars also began to fight back.

    The battle was very fierce. The Chinese Army had too few troops. Although with the help of the protection of the position, the casualties were not as high as the German Army!  However, the Germans' firepower is not weak, and their strength is three times that of the Chinese Army, which largely offsets the disadvantages of this positional defense.

    "Bang!" A Chinese soldier who was shooting was hit in the head, and a hole was punched through the helmet on his head. The Mauser 1998 rifle used by the Germans had a high accuracy.It is very high and has very strong penetrating power. It can easily penetrate a steel helmet at a distance of two hundred meters.

    The snipers of the Chinese Army also launched a fierce counterattack. The German low-level officers, machine gunners, gunners, etc. were their key targets. At a distance of more than 200 meters and less than 300 meters, they were invulnerable.  False hair.  Less than ten minutes after the battle started, the German machine gunners had already changed their positions, which seriously affected the German attack!

    "Damn it! Attack, continue to attack!" Captain Jonathan ordered with a dark face!  If the attack continues like this, Chinese reinforcements will come!  This will make their actions fall short!  In the previous plan, the German army believed that Captain Jonathan's company was fully capable of defeating the Chinese army on the opposite side. Then, taking advantage of this conflict, the German army took the opportunity to march towards Gloucester, capture it, and divide the Chinese army's troops deployed in England into two.  .  But the plan has just begun, and it seems to be going very wrong!

    Some German soldiers began to charge again, but they were all blocked by the intensive firepower of the Chinese army.  Although the Chinese army suffered considerable losses in the battle, in general, if the Germans only had one company, they could still withstand the German attack before reinforcements arrived!

    "Send a telegram to your commander. The intensity of Chinese firepower far exceeds our expectations. We need more reinforcements!" Captain Jonathan ordered!  He knew that now was not the time to show off.  If the plan fails, he may be pushed out as a scapegoat.

    "Yes, company commander!" The signal soldier immediately contacted the rear and asked for assistance!

    Ten minutes later, dense artillery shells fell on the German offensive line.  Reinforcements from the Chinese Army arrived first!  The company's two 80mm mortars are firing continuously at the German Army!  The dense shells knocked the German soldiers off their feet!

    Subsequently, the arrival of two other platoons of reinforcements greatly enhanced the firepower of the Chinese Army. It was already impossible for the German army to break through the defense line!

    As a last resort, Captain Jonathan had to order a retreat!  Thus, the conflict ended.  Although this conflict lasted less than half an hour from start to finish, it cast a shadow over the relationship between Germany and China.

    In this conflict, 45 German soldiers were killed and 37 wounded. The entire company lost half of its combat effectiveness.  The Chinese army paid the price with 12 killed and 15 injured.

    Germany accuses China of massacring German army soldiers and demands that China apologize and compensate Germany and deal with those responsible.  China, on the other hand, refutes Germany's deliberate provocation to undermine relations between the two countries.  The diplomats of the two countries suddenly began to bicker.

    At the same time, the armies of both sides also began to mobilize. The German Army dispatched a force of 100,000 people to enter Cheltenham, and the Chinese Army was not to be outdone. Two infantry divisions plus the 2nd Armored Brigade entered Gloucester.  The two sides are likely to start a fierce battle over this!

    Although the fighting broke out on British soil, the British watched it all with a cold eye as if it had nothing to do with them.  They hope that China and Germany can fight. In this case, maybe no one will take care of them!

    ??The other countries of the Allied Powers, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania, have begun to mediate. The world war has just ended, and they do not want to be involved in a new war!  In addition, if a war breaks out between China and Germany, how should these countries choose?  This makes them very embarrassed!  Therefore, maintaining peace between both parties is the most important thing to them!

    The conflict between China and Germany has intensified, which has also forced peace negotiations to be postponed.

    On July 5, the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze ordered the use of force to deter Germany and force Germany to surrender!

    ??The Chinese General Staff and the Navy Ministry issued an order for the main force of the Chinese Navy to pass through the English Channel and the Strait of Dover and enter the North Sea, cutting off the maritime connections between Germany and the United Kingdom, and forcing Germany in turn!  Moreover, all troops are ready for battle. If the Germans do not bow their heads, it will give China an advantage in the war!

    At noon on July 5, local time, the main fleet of the Chinese Navy set off from the southern part of the English Channel and sailed northeast. The fleet included 4 'Tang-class' battleships, 5 'Han-class' battleships, 23 other battleships and two battleships.  Line cruisers, plus heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, frigates and supply ships, a total of more than two hundred battleships!  In addition, four Emeishan-class aircraft carriers have also joined the fleet to provide air protection for the fleet and ensure that the fleet will not be attacked by the German air force and naval aviation!  (To be continued.
