Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 194 The Battle Will Continue
The smoke of the battle gradually dissipated, and the previously noisy position gradually quieted down, but the sky became more gloomy.

Li Mu drove all these excited fighters back to the trenches after a battle, and at the same time ordered the troops to count the losses and strengthen their positions.

More than 500 people in the entire battalion died in this blocking battle, but forty or fifty people died. Many of them poked their heads out because they were too aggressive in the battle, although all the weapons in their hands were single-shot pull bolts Weapons, but after all, the number of people is dense, and the barrage formed in a short period of time may also hurt some guys who are too nervous.

Not only that, a Maxim heavy machine gun in the battalion was also scrapped. The reason turned out to be that the water boiled and boiled dry in a short period of time, and the soldiers did not remember to add water to cool it. The barrel of the gun seemed to melt and was accidentally scalded. A machine gunner's hand.

The first defensive battle relying on strong fortresses and deep trenches actually caused the loss of one percent of his team, and some tactics were used in it, Li Mu only found it a little inconceivable.

And if there are frequent attacks in the future, the situation may change a lot.

In addition to these, Li Mu raised his head and looked at the sky above his head with a heavy heart. The cloudy clouds in the morning had gradually closed, the black clouds were gradually churning, and the air was already filled with a moist atmosphere.

It's going to rain soon, and once the rain intensifies, this position will be really muddy.

Li Mu sighed secretly, but he couldn't do anything about it. He just asked everyone to strengthen their offensive and prepare for the next attack.

The battle on the first day was far from over. The gunfire on the first line never stopped. The people there were always fighting for the enemy's position, and they might even have paid ten times the price compared to the second line.

Perhaps soon, there will be troops going to support the first-line positions. Of course, they are the defensive troops of the second-line positions and will not be dispatched as a priority.

But if there is no continuous replenishment of troops later...

Li Mu didn't think about it any longer, but he also dealt with all the matters in front of him at the moment, and asked the soldiers to prepare again. Li Mu lay down in his original position and looked at the front position again.

The distant position is still full of artillery fire, and there are only a few people.

The British and French allied forces were like a swarm of attacking ants, moving out desperately. Soldiers fell one after another on the position, but there was a steady stream of soldiers rushing up after that.

The screams of soldiers could be heard all over the field.

Li Mu just observed for a moment, and he stopped looking there, and turned to the sky and the plain and forest behind.

It stands to reason that now should be the time for a new round of shelling.

Sure enough, just as Li Mu said inwardly, there was a whistling sound in the sky, and there were several white lines across the dark sky, and the shells followed the trail of water vapor at regular intervals.

The shells appeared, and the soldiers who appeared on the field raised their heads one after another. Seeing the dense shells passing by, the soldiers who hadn't calmed down stood up one after another, raised their guns and roared loudly.

The artillery shells slammed into the distance in front of the position quickly, and the impact shells exploded in the positions of the British and French coalition forces. The attack was interrupted again, but this time the attack density was obviously very low, and the intensity of the shelling dropped a lot.

Li Mu was puzzled, but Hans next to him looked at the scene in the distance and said with some seriousness.

"There are so few shells, did you just shift your position?"

Li Mu looked at the other party, but was suddenly attracted by the movement behind him, turned his head, and saw German soldiers crawling out of the trenches in many scattered positions behind the second-line positions, and they were holding their long guns. Cross the front position and come towards the second line position.

But at the next moment, they directly crossed the second-line position. An officer crossed a trench not far from Li Mu, turned around and pulled out his sword to order his soldiers to advance.

The soldiers in the trenches were a little stunned when they saw this scene. Some of them thought it was time to charge, so they immediately climbed up the trenches and prepared to charge with them, but they were pulled down from the trenches by their colleagues.

Li Mu stood up immediately, ran to the officer, and shouted at him.

"What's your situation?!"

When the officer saw an officer of the same level running over, he hurriedly said, "We have received an order from above to support the front line. You just need to guard the second line."

The man left immediately after saying this sentence, Li Mu's footsteps stopped suddenly, but soldiers around him stepped up to pass by one by one, Li Mu looked at the front line, where the gunshots were rare at the moment, it was the reinforcements good time.

But after that?The reinforcements came from the auxiliary positions in the third row, that is to say, there were basically no soldiers in the positions behind them at this moment, that is to say, they were the last line of defense of the entire position of the soldiers in their own positions.

In the remote territory behind, no troops came to reinforce it.

In the previous order from the superior, he really didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

But the matter has come to this point, and there will be a bloody battle next, but, I don't know if these basic defenders can support the officers behind them to wake up, and then send additional reinforcements?

Li Mu returned to the trench with some worries, and the soldiers among them watched those colleagues rushing to the front position with great interest. After being told by his teammates about the cruelty of the matter, their expressions were quite heavy.

"This is to let them go to die." Hans smoked a cigarette anxiously, but immediately took it down, and said slowly: "But I have to do it."

Li Mu lay down again in the trench next to him, then looked at the sky, and let out a heavy breath.

"Hans, what do you think this battle is for?"

Hans froze for a moment, then said in surprise, "For what? Haha, according to what the old men in the military said, it's for national righteousness, to avoid oppression, and to attack the British who make us unable to survive." Guy, Frenchie."

When he said this, Hans' expression became a little indifferent: "I just want to be able to eat a full meal, this damn battlefield, bah!"

Hans spat, waved his hand and left, stretched out his legs and kicked a soldier next to him, and left cursing.

Li Mu looked at the other party in astonishment, and soon felt relieved. At this moment, Germany was not so brainwashed, and some people still hated war.

It's just that such a tragic war, although it can be regarded as a chapter of expanding the territory, but what truth do we have to understand by ourselves?

Li Mu looked up at the sky, frowning, and at this moment a drop of rain hit his forehead, Li Mu stretched out his hand, and the rain moistened his skin.

It's raining.

A flash of lightning flashed far away, and thunder rumbled loudly. Li Mu stood up slightly, but looked at the sky in a daze.

The people in the trenches also noticed the situation, and immediately called for raincoats, but at this moment, there was a screaming sound from the sky, and the sound was getting closer.

Li Mu's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted loudly to the soldiers in the trench.

"Hurry up and hide, bombard!"

The rumbling guns exploded, and the soil was deeply lifted. Soldiers rushed into the fortifications one by one, and Li Mu also rolled into the nearest bunker.

The bunker was dark and dark, but Li Mu glanced around, picked up the Mauser rifle in his hand, and pulled the bolt.

"Reload, prepare all the weapons for me, and the battle will continue." Li Mu said solemnly, pressing a bullet into the barrel of the gun.
