Chapter 87 The Test of Blood and Fire(1/2)
"Click..."
With a muffled sound, in the bunker behind the trench, Heisenberg squeezed a louse to death with his fingernails. After staying in the trench for a month, his body was the same as everyone around him.
Regardless of whether he is a noble or a commoner, in the end, their bodies are all covered with lice, and they have to be strangled one by one with their fingernails.
At the beginning, many people were like this. They were always squeezing lice every day. Of course, as long as they were free, but as time went by, they naturally felt that they were no longer interested. It was better for Chad to think about it.
The method was to hang the lid of the shoe polish box on the wire, and at the same time light a piece of candle underneath and just throw the strong and hard parasites inside, and it would be over with a "Bip" sound.
However, at night, when he couldn't sleep, Heisenberg still liked to squeeze lice with his nails, not for anything else, just to pass the boring time. This seemed to provide a kind of entertainment and heroic spirit for the boring time in the trenches.
What the Prussian soldiers are trying to do is kill lice!
Maybe after the war ended and Germany won the victory, it became a plot in the novels of biographers. Maybe when he has a grandson, he can tell his grandson about his "killing lice" experience. Of course, maybe his grandson doesn't know it at all.
Know what lice are.
Compared to the cold and humid trenches, this underground bunker is warm inside. For these soldiers, this place is like a paradise, but they know clearly that the bunkers built by the French cannot be maintained.
How long? Because their position is in the front of the trench. Of course, for the French who once defended here, this used to be the rear of the trench. Now all they can do is seize the time and enjoy these French trenches with good facilities.
, what should be taken away before filling this place in.
At this time, most of the German soldiers had fallen asleep, except Heisenberg. He was awakened by the sound of machine gunfire. The sound of machine gunfire was a warning shot to prevent enemy sneak attacks, but it was also harmful to his own people.
kind of interference.
At least, Heisenberg was woken up. Heisenberg, who was about to go to sleep again, looked at the time and saw that it would be time for him to change the guard in ten minutes, so naturally he did not want to go back to sleep. Anyway, he had nothing to do.
It's just idle time. Why don't you squeeze lice here?
After playing for more than ten minutes, Chad walked in carrying a 98 rifle.
"Heisenberg! It's your turn and Ned's turn!"
After entering the room, he placed the rifle on the gun stand. Chad then lay down on the bed, while Heisenberg held the rifle. He walked out of the bunker first. Ned probably had to wait for Frick to come back before he could get dressed.
Before that, he had to stand guard alone.
Of course, standing guard on the battlefield is different from that in the military camp. If there is no sound outside, Heisenberg does not even need to raise his head. He only needs to use a simple two glass mirrors and a few wood chips when the flare is down.
The formed periscope searched the battlefield.
"sudden……"
The sound of the aerial flares exploding made Heisenbo quickly pick up the periscope and observe the battlefield. Under the white light of the flares, the battlefield was still the same battlefield as on the surface of the moon. The weather today is good!
Looking at the battlefield, Heisenberg thought this, because the line of sight was very clear and there was not even a trace of mist. This was not a good weather for a sneak attack. If it fogged, the entire platoon would be on duty without rest. Because foggy weather is the worst weather.
Good attacking weather.
After carefully observing that there was no movement on the battlefield, Heisenberg put down his periscope and began to prick up his ears to listen to the movement in the distance. Compared with eyes, ears are more useful at night... Suddenly, a trace of movement reached his ears.
, he quickly picked up the rifle nervously.
"Heisenberg..."
At this moment Ned came over with a rifle.
"Don't talk..."
Interrupting Ned's words, Heisenberg stood on the ladder and listened carefully to the sounds in the darkness, but at this time there was no sound coming. Could it be an illusion?
Barbed wire. Finally, Liu Zishan and his soldiers appeared in front of Liu Zishan and his soldiers, who had no warmth at all on their bodies and whose bones seemed to be sore from the cold. Those barbed wires were not dense, they were just single-strand barbed wire, and they were not far away from the German defense line.
Only a few tens of meters, but these barbed wire fences are the biggest obstacle for the assault troops, and they are also the first obstacle they need to face. On this road, although there are broken barbed wire fences, there are still passages, but these barbed wire fences are
Complete, which means they have to pass through these barbed wire fences.
The barbed wire fence is not very conspicuous at night, but with the help of the light from the flares, you can still clearly see some empty cans hanging between the wires. There are stones in those empty cans, and they only need a slight shake to make a sound.
, if the barbed wire is cut, the sound will be enough to ruin the sneak attack.
However, before setting off on the expedition, they had received relevant training. They grabbed a handful of thin mud from their bodies, dragged the empty can with their left hand, and stuffed the mud into the can with their right hand until the empty can was filled, and then filled it again.
Use a vise to cut the wire hanging the empty can box. After several repetitions, the empty can box on the wire mesh in front of you loses its effect.
After disarming the German "early warning device", the next step was to cut off the barbed wire. However, Liu Zishan did not cut off all the barbed wire, but only the bottom barbed wire. For him, the only obstacle was the bottom barbed wire. As for the barbed wire,
The remaining barbed wire fences were blown open by the follow-up troops with blasting canisters. If those barbed wire fences were cut, they would attract the attention of the German sentries.
Holding his breath, he broke down the obstacles bit by bit, squirming forward bit by bit, getting closer, getting closer. Song Qingyun, who was soaked in his military uniform and almost numb from the cold, still kept probing with his bayonet.
Ahead, in the past half hour or so, he had discovered several landmines or unexploded artillery shells with his bayonet. If those mines or artillery shells exploded, the consequences would be disastrous.
As a smoker, because he was only ten meters away from the German trenches, he could even smell the smell of tobacco coming from them. The familiar smell of tobacco stimulated his nerves. But he did not dare to make even a single utterance.
There was too much movement, but they were still crawling forward like a snail. According to the order, they must get as close to the German position as possible.
"As slow as the ants are, you must be as slow as you are. It is best to be like ants. Even if you are eye to eye with the Germans, the Germans cannot see you. Then the operation will be successful!"
"Get as close to them as possible, preferably until you roll into the trench. The Germans are still sleeping!"
When approaching the German position, the previous orders once again appeared in Liu Zishan's mind. He not only controlled his own movements, but also controlled the movements of his subordinates to prevent them from forgetting as much as possible due to the excitement of engaging the enemy.
Approach orders.
But now, in fact, no one can get up quickly anymore, and the reason is very simple. After a long period of cold, after the military uniforms were soaked with water, their bodies have already frozen. In fact, what he needs to think about now is,
At the moment of contact with the enemy, can they still move?
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, Heisenberg puffed out a smoke ring with some comfort. The abnormal noise previously scared him. Finally, after listening carefully, Heisenberg confirmed that it was just the wind blowing the empty can.
Fortunately, he didn't sound a warning, otherwise the platoon leader would have given him a severe lesson.
"Ned, do you have five sisters?"
Ned, who was holding the periscope, was stunned.
"Um?"
"Are they beautiful?"
“Very beautiful!”
"Oh? Then do you think they might still be virgins? If they are really that beautiful, maybe you can introduce us to each other. I mean after the war is over..."
Now, when the fate of the Second German Reich rests on the shoulders of these dirty, tired soldiers, Heisenberg has free time to imagine his comrade's sister.
Heisenberg's words only made Ned feel angry. Just when he was about to turn around and teach Heisenberg a lesson, he saw a little movement in the periscope lens. To be precise, an "object" appeared in his sight.
In the middle, it seemed to be...a face! Just when he wanted to confirm. Suddenly, a black thing rolled down from the top of the trench and "rolled" down towards him. To be precise, it pounced.
"..."
Even before he could make a sound, the bayonet sank into his neck at the same time he was knocked down. When his neck was cut and blood mist sprayed out, Heisenberg, who was originally joking, also noticed the changes in the trench.
, he actually saw an enemy soldier covered in mud rushing toward him from above the trench!
enemy!
He actually attacked in such a sneaky way! And his last impression of the world was that this clay figure seemed to have an oriental face.
Orientals!
While he was extremely surprised, he only felt an object piercing his chest. But when he felt the power draining from his body, he still instinctively pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand, and there was a sudden snap.
It started, and the muzzle flash illuminated the trench.
At this time, soldiers started shouting from the distance:
"Sneak attack! Sneak attack!"
At the same time as the shouts in German rang out, gunshots also rang out, and the gunfire spread far into the night sky. The vigilant German soldiers also responded extremely quickly. After all, many of them were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, but
, when they reacted, hundreds of people in the darkness kept jumping into the trenches.
In the eyes of the Germans, those people who jumped into the trenches were covered in mud, waving weapons in their hands, screaming like their throats were being ripped out of their mouths, and almost like cheetahs, they rushed towards the nearest German soldiers!
For most of the German soldiers in the trenches in this area, their last impression of the world was that of those strong and powerful enemies with Oriental faces. And those faces that were covered with mud and had purple lips
, but this moment seemed very distorted. Although they shouted, the rifles and bayonets in their hands stabbed at the Germans mercilessly. More often, it was the short guns in their hands that fired rapid shots.
In each strafing attack, at least a few or as many as a dozen German soldiers were killed or injured. However, those who appeared like ghosts were merciless even to the wounded.
After knocking down a group of people, the riflemen would quickly stab the injured soldiers with their bayonets to completely eliminate their resistance.
At this moment, the originally silent front suddenly boiled. The originally hidden heavy machine gun on duty spit out long tongues of flames towards the front. But those tongues of flames were directed at the front, but the terrified shouts and madness in the trenches
However, the shouts of the German soldiers had already rang out. When the German soldiers who were awakened by the gunshots rushed out of the anti-gun bunkers, what awaited them was often a hail of bullets or several gleaming bayonets in the trenches.
For the commandos who had rushed into the trenches at this time, it was a complete massacre. For the German army, they only had a few seconds to react at most, and even the vast majority of them did not react in a hurry at all.
He's already dead!
"Grenade!"
He rushed to a bunker. While shouting, Song Qingyun threw a grenade into the bunker. Almost as soon as the explosion shock wave rushed out of the bunker, he rushed in, amidst the choking smoke.
There were groans from the Germans that no one could understand, but the rifle in his hand was already dragging the bayonet towards the wounded, and the few soldiers who rushed into the bunker were stabbing madly.
Every enemy that moves.
Now, for them, there is only one thought left in their minds, kill them, kill them!
To be continued...
