British Expeditionary Force, 1st Arroup, Battalion Corily at the scene before him

He was speechless at how his invincible tank unit, that he had been so proud of How they would fall into this e situation

After the six Matilda tanks were blown up by the Gerh ot a loud scolding by Colonel Glenn for ruining the plan Leaving their troops to becostock of all the infantry

So, in order to wash away the sha the next assault, the Matilda II were placed near the front while the rest of the tanks at the very back

He did not expect that the infantry would charge forward and leave the tanks behind Making hinored He quickly ordered the other tanks to move forward and catch up with the main infantry force

But the speed of the Matilda II’s wasat a snail’s pace This was partially due to the wear and tear fro the tracks to sink in, resulting in a speed of 6 km/h The result was that not only did they not catch up, the distance between actually increased By the tiht up to the infantry, the Matilda I’s were still 200 meters behind

The infantry charge was stopped in their tracks Not even able to lift their hands to face the Gere but tanks surrounded by enemy infantry were at their most vulnerable With their infantry not able to cover the at the German lines Major Frank really wanted to open the top hatch and tell the cowards to get up But the ricocheting Gerive up that idea

Xu Jun looked sy British soldiers Those idiotic cohed and turned to Muller as nearly drooling from excitement

“Let’s begin”

“Yes, General!” Then Muller shot a bullet into the air, leaving behind a scarlet trail

The British infantry in the forefront of the action suddenly heard the sound of artillery They screamed to loosen the formation, but this also went to increase the confusion

Lying on the soft dirt, the British soldiers watched as the shells hit before them But to their surprise, the ever so familiar scene of flesh and blood did not appear The shells did not explode after they plunged into the soil But rather issued a white smoke The soldiers and the tanks, they all were shrouded in a white fog

The second round of shelling left mournful cries in its wake

“Mortar! Down!” An officer shouted

But few soldiers noticed his words Surrounded by the white smoke, their senses were all confused While the Ger flurries of bullets downfield The fatal bullets whizzing like flies through the s the morale of the troops

Finally, the e yellow h violently, and some clutched their eyes in pain Suddenly, the British assault group was all either coughing, crying or both

“My eyes!”

“cough, help ah, I can’t breathe cough, cough”

The British officers were horrified to see the soldiers fall, clutching their eyes and nose Gazing at the approaching yellow mist

The word “dangerous” appeared in their unfire stopped Then the officers saw a Gerasthe idea that the gas was poisonous
