Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 197
Before the night fell, the battle on this battlefield was still going on. When the raindrops lightened, the gunshots from the front line gradually became more intensive. Those British and French allied forces were like persistent ghosts, howling miserably rushed to the position, and then fell under the guns of German soldiers.

No one can figure out why these people are rushing forward so desperately. They know that there are already countless corpses lying on the battlefield today, but they continue to move forward without seeing anything. rush.

The German army repelled the attacks of the British and French allied forces time and time again, and many corpses were left on the ground like this, enduring the attacks of stray bullets and artillery shells.

Li Mu lay down on the ground and ate some food. He kept his weapon beside him, and watched the situation ahead with the last gleam of light in the sky.

"At least tens of thousands of people died today. These people are simply insane."

Creeping next to Li Mu was the company commander Hans, who was muttering while munching.

"I don't think this place can be defended. This is someone else's land, and I will try my best to get it back."

When Hans said this, Li Mu was taken aback, and looked at him immediately, but frowned.

"You say that in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will find the military police to arrest you?"

Hans continued to eat the food in his hand without raising his head, his expression calm at the moment.

"Battalion Commander, you and I are assured that you will not betray me because of such a matter. Besides, there are no military police on this position now. Even if there are, they must now hold weapons and prepare to fight against the enemies in front. "

Hans seemed very bachelor, Li Mu just grinned and didn't say anything, but he thought about Hans's words in his mind.

He said that this is other people's territory. These lands were occupied by his own army. Still such a brutal war.

Is this just saying to yourself that the meaning of expanding the territory is not necessarily the end of the winner?
Li Mu was stunned for a while, but Hans next to him finished eating what he was holding, then wiped his mouth and silently began to check the weapon.

And the sky was completely dark, and the last black and blue in the sky disappeared, and there were no stars today. The wind that occasionally blew across the battlefield, mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder, blew on Li Mu, whose clothes were not completely dry. Waiting for people, people can't help but shudder.

Li Mu shook out all the thoughts in his mind, and kept this matter in his heart, to see if it could be verified later.

But now, Li Mu also picked up his own weapon, called out all the soldiers in the tunnel, and lay quietly on the edge of the trench one by one in the dark night. Carefully look ahead.

Human beings always have an inexplicable fear of the dark night. Even if they have weapons in their hands and companions around them, they will still feel a sense of uneasiness overflowing from their hearts.

Li Mu carefully recalled a few directions in the dark night that he focused on, which is the place where the enemy is likely to climb up during the night attack.

Although there are simple short stick weapons around, there are too many unstable factors in the dark night, not to mention that if the enemies rush up quickly and there are many people, it may be a hard battle by then.

What's more terrible is that there are not many bullets for the machine guns. Although they have been arranged on both sides of the position, they can only be fired at critical moments. The machine guns fired in succession in the dark are almost the most eye-catching targets. , the chance of being able to hit the target is even rarer than during the day.

Now Li Mu can only hope in his heart that this night attack is just his own random expectations.

Maybe those enemies can't move anymore, so I can spend the night peacefully like this.

But this is what Li Mu thought in his heart after all. Just after Li Mu asked the soldiers behind him to prepare lighting tools, the gunshots from the front line re-emerged after a period of silence.

In the dark night, the sparks erupting from the muzzle of the gun were very clear, and tracers from some bullets could be seen from time to time.

The sound of explosions in the dark night was also more distinct, but maybe it was because they were afraid that the artillery position would be exposed more easily in the dark night, but this time the battle was a prelude without shells washing the ground, and this battle became an individual contest between people.

Li Mu fixed his eyes on the front position as soon as the gunshot sounded, and the soldiers around him also made movements one by one, readying their weapons one after another, and then staring at the position closely.

I don't know who's eyes are so sharp, they saw a flame on the battlefield and saw a black shadow flashing by, and a shot passed by, and there was a person screaming in that place, the voice was very loud, and even pierced everyone eardrum.

And this is like a fuse, which quickly detonated the firepower of the entire second-line position. With the roar of some soldiers.

Li Mu also hurriedly fired several times, but it was really difficult to aim at the target in the dark, so he yelled at the soldiers to shoot out the flares quickly.

The next moment, a few sharp gunshots sounded, and then a small red and yellow light spot suddenly rose in the sky.

The spot of light quickly became brighter, illuminating the entire position.

The soldiers immediately counterattacked, and the gunshots were loud, but Li Mu hurriedly scanned the entire position, saw that the enemy troops were still pouring out of the gap, and immediately shouted in the direction of the machine gun position.

The machine gun that had been waiting for a long time rushed to attack, dense gunshots rang out violently, and a continuous trajectory flashed in the night.

But the bright scene in front of him didn't last long, and suddenly the whole position went dark.

The flares were too low-quality, and the lighting time was not long enough. The entire position gradually went dark, and the battle suddenly turned into darkness.

The night was long, and Li Mu didn't know how many battles there would be next, so he didn't let the soldiers fire the remaining flares, but continued to attack the battlefield relying on his memory.

But a sudden scream made Li Mu tremble violently.

This voice came from the trench on the same side where Li Mu was. The voice came very suddenly and was very miserable, but the most important thing was the words he shouted afterward.

"Help! There's an Englishman!"

The meaning of this sentence could not be more obvious, that is, an enemy has rushed into the trench and has engaged in close combat with the soldiers in the trench.

Li Mu immediately shouted to set up the torch, and several light spots lit up in the trench, and the next moment Li Mu saw a frightening scene.

At a place less than 50 meters away from Li Mu's trench, it was connected to a vertical trench. In the evening, Li Mu had ordered people to seal it off, but he didn't expect that the place was still undefended in the end.

Li Mu glanced ahead, and immediately asked the people in the trenches behind him to go for reinforcements, and at the same time asked the soldiers to fire flares again.

But as soon as the flare was lifted into the air, Li Mu immediately exclaimed.

Because right in front of him, a soldier suddenly rushed in from the position. With the light of the flare that just rose, Li Mu saw his face blackened by gunpowder smoke, and the fierce expression on it.

Li Mu was bumped straight into the trench by him, and the two rolled over one by one. Li Mu had already got the short stick, and the next one swung it fiercely, and the man let out a muffled groan and lost his voice.

Li Mu climbed up the trench again, but saw that a group of enemy soldiers had already rushed into the trench. Li Mu shouted to keep the other soldiers firing, and then hurriedly jumped into the trench with short sticks.

The battle at night suddenly became bloody.
