Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 198 Reinforcement Arrives
"Push their corpses to the front of the position, and then set up the barbed wire again! Pull all the dead brothers into the bunker to the east, and send a few more people to collect the grenades. Don't keep looking for smoke!"

Li Mu wiped the dust off his face with the inner lining of his clothes, then took a sip from the water bottle that Raffle handed over, and just stood on the ground and watched the soldiers start to clean up the ground.

The sky is not fully lit yet, and there seems to be a mist around it. The soldiers have almost experienced fighting all night, but the position is still in the hands of Germany in the end.

Li Mu didn't want to recall the tragic battle last night.

In the dark night, except behind you, there are grim-looking soldiers rushing everywhere, each of them holding a long gun in their hands, and the first time they meet, they move their bayonets to stab your chest.

Even though Li Mu has experienced countless more cruel progress, but in the dark night, without the support of his companions, surrounded by screams and screams, all this makes people shudder.

Li Mu didn't know how he survived. He only knew that when the night became thicker, the sound of a whistle came from the position, and then the enemies in front of him gradually decreased, and the voices of his companions gradually increased. Li Mu Let them return to the position in the dark, and then stay on the position until now.

It seems that those Anglo-French allied forces will also be exhausted.

Wiping his mouth, he handed the water bottle back to Raffle. Li Mu untied his clothes and heaved a sigh of relief. His mind was dizzy at the moment. Li Mu tried to find a place to sit down, but this Suddenly, he felt the silence around him.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and just then he quickly raised his head and looked around, but he saw that every soldier stopped what he was doing at this moment, and then looked at the battlefield in the distance.

The summer sun rose from the sky behind and just shone on the battlefield ahead, sweeping away the hazy mist.

Li Mu's gaze also widened instantly, and he couldn't help standing up with a spear in his hand, looking at the battlefield in front of him in shock.

On the gloomy land in front of the golden sun, Li Mu saw endless corpses amidst the gunpowder.

Looking around, this not-so-broad terrain was covered by the gray color of the field.

They were all corpses, and all kinds of people fell in them. They were soldiers of the British, French and German forces.

There were many spears and gunpowder smoke filled the air. At this moment, under the light of the morning sun, the entire position fell into a deep silence.

Obviously the sun brings heat, but everyone's hearts are like falling into an ice cellar at this moment.

There is nothing more shocking than the current scene. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, there is a deep smell of death from this scorched battlefield. It still feels like hell.

What you can see is not the death of others, but your own fate.

Li Mu looked at this scene with a shuddering expression. The battle on this first day was so fierce. This day was too long, so long that tens of thousands of people died.

Li Mu stood dumbfounded, but Raffle next to him couldn't stand at this moment, and immediately sat down with a plop, the kettle in his hand rolled away, and a fishy smell came from him.

"The battalion commander...how could so many people die..." Raffle said tremblingly, but Li Mu didn't reply, instead he grabbed the gun suddenly, and then shouted loudly at the still stupefied soldiers shouted.

"There are enemies! Come back!"

Li Mu's shout immediately pulled back the spirits of everyone on the ground. They looked in Li Mu's direction, and they saw a group of soldiers emerging from there, and they rushed back to the ground with nervous expressions. .

Li Mu also pulled Raffle back to the trench, but when he looked up the next moment, Li Mu frowned.

Those Anglo-French allied forces came up with white flags, and they had no weapons in their hands, and even to avoid suspicion, they came up one by one wearing only single clothes.

Li Mu didn't understand what they meant, but seeing them stop far away from the position, and then a few soldiers began to drag the corpse down slowly, at this moment Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the body of these British gentlemen for their companions.

Li Mu asked the soldiers to remain vigilant, and at the same time, together with several battalion commanders in other positions, he asked a soldier who knew English to yell a few words, draw a line, and shoot immediately after crossing the line to collect the corpse.

The battlefield was extremely harmonious at this moment, it seemed that everyone was immersed in the shadow of so many soldiers dying.

Li Mu looked at the distance behind him, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements. At the same time, he had to let the soldiers replenish their strength immediately, bandage the wounded, collect weapons, and prepare to resist the next attack.

On the second day after the start of the war, there was no movement from the coalition forces throughout the entire morning. It is not known whether it was because they were empty of troops, or they were quietly accumulating strength and waiting for a good time to start the war.

Li Mu counted the strength of his troops again, and only those in their early [-]s were still capable of fighting. Dozens of seriously wounded were lying in the bunkers, and the two bunkers were already filled with the corpses of their colleagues.

One day yesterday, the combat reduction in my position reached four-fifths, and I was only in the second-line position. The situation in the first-line position was even worse. Come to the back to find yourself and others to ask for soldiers and ammunition.

Li Mu didn't give anything, just let them continue to hold on.

Such a tragic battle is the easiest way to destroy a soldier's heart, not to mention that German reinforcements have not yet arrived.

"Jonathan is also stupid. If he had guarded this gap with his soldiers last night, he wouldn't have lost his life, and he would have implicated so many brothers."

Hans carried the corpse of a company commander of the same battalion into the bunker, and when he came out, he was full of resentment and said to Li Mu as if venting.

Too many brothers died in last night's battle. Of the three company commanders, only Hans was left. There were also few platoon commanders. Just like that, Hans's left hand was still bandaged. It was said that it was broken by a British guy last night. The bayonet penetrated directly, and he was somehow able to pull it out at that time. However, it didn't seem to bleed much after being bandaged, so the situation should be pretty good.

But at this moment, Hans's face was full of gloom, especially when he watched the dead comrades dragged into the bunker limply like a pool of rotten meat.

Li Mu didn't speak, and at the same time refused the cigarette case he handed over, he just sat on the ground and counted the bullets.

Hans looked at his chief's abnormally calm look, and pondered for a moment, but he still said to Li Mu.

"Battalion Commander, how long do you think we can guard?"

Li Mu shook his head, and put all the bullets in his hand into the weapon belt: "Without reinforcements, we will be finished today."

"But why are those generals still indifferent? Could it be that even the prime minister and His Majesty can't see that the battle here is tight?" Hans scimitar anxiously, but Li Mu didn't reply.

At the moment, I just found a comfortable place and curled up on the ground.

"Instead of thinking about these things, it's better to take a break and save your energy, maybe you can survive."

"Remember to send more observers, and call out whenever there is a situation." After saying this, Li Mu shrugged and leaned on the position to squint for a while.

The trench is still muddy at the moment, and the bunker is even more gloomy and smelly. At least the position looks brighter.

Seeing that his chief did not answer his words at all, Hans left angrily.

I don't know how long it took before Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and at this moment, the intense scream of shells sounded above his head.

"Bombardment! Go to the fortification!" Li Mu jumped into the trench and shouted loudly, and other soldiers also shouted, and the soldiers on the ground swarmed to the nearest fortification.

The shells came later, and the rumbling sound made Li Mu's spirit tense up instantly.

This time the shell bombing persisted for a long time. After waiting for a long time, the sound of the shells ceased to sound intensively, and Li Mu immediately got out of the fortifications and climbed up the trench.

Looking around, there were traces of a round helmet in the distance.

Li Mu yelled to let the soldiers go to the battlefield. At this moment, the gunshots rang out again. Li Mu shouted for the soldiers to support artillery fire from the rear, but at this time someone shouted loudly.

"Our reinforcements are coming, it's from the Second Army, reinforcements are coming!"
