The German soldiers were keeping the fleeing 11th army on their toes to keep running. They were surpressing them untill they got passed the main trenchs and defenses. Thought he General spoted the trenches and could tell that his men wouldn't be able to fight effectivly in those. They were filled with thousands of human remains, pot holes, feces, and various rodents.
"General, we need to keep going after these guys! We need to be up on their butts the whole way down so they dont bombard us with their military."
"Very well, we need to stay close to these retreating bastards. Keep them moving!"
The General watched as the German troops passed by the trenches and kept moving at fast past. He knew he's streching the fatigue of his men to the limits. But he knew these men were trained for non-stop charging like this. In the very hills in sothern germany. They were also very expeirenced in high altitude training.
Artillery was packed up before the counter attack began; and it was moving across the border. The counter attack soon began when they were in range for the Belgium artillery. Just wounderful luck. The artillery was set up under just an hour. They counter-attack had happened there. Artillery shells beating the land that had already been beaten by German shells for a few days now. But the Colonel ordered the attack right when it happened. Though the German artillery attack onto the Belgium artillery wasn't very effective; because for the most part he German arillery forces dived down into the trenches.
The Germans already have trench artillery set up in Belgiums' own trenches. Because the Belgium forces got the first shot off at the German artillery; only about 1,000 artillery peices were able to get up and firing regularly; most were trench artillery/mortars.
Most of the forces take cover in the trenches and fox holes while the Belgium unload their bombardment. But some knew that the Belgium artillery wasn't very effective because their bi-planes had been shot down. They are now firing onto the front line trenches; assuming German infantry are there. But the German infantry are moving on, keeping the Belgium forces moving back and back. The German infantry forces should reach the second defensive line in no time. At least they hoped.
German Casualties so far (only about a half a day of bombardment, assuming that's when the infantry would reach the second line of defense.)
-6,500 German soldiers dead
-1,021 Artillery peices destroyed
-592 Horses dead
