Chapter 583: Trench warfare

However, Qi Lin's plan had not been implemented yet, and a group of more than thirty British troops had already stormed into the trench where they were under the cover of firepower.
In World War I, the bloodiest and cruelest was the trench warfare, which was close to hand combat.
During the Battle of the Somme, the lightweight and short MP18 submachine gun had not yet come out. Both the G98 rifle used by the German army and the Enfield rifle used by the British army were not conducive to the battle in the trench due to the problem of excessive length. The most common weapons are naturally all kinds of strange melee weapons.
The group of British soldiers came to the touch under the cover of shelling and gas bombs. The German soldiers who were caught off guard were killed by the other with bayonets in a single encounter.
These people, said to be British troops, are actually Indians, with thick headscarves on their heads and heavy gas masks on their faces. During World War I, India was a colony of the British Commonwealth. The internal supply of troops in Britain is scarce, so a large number of Indian soldiers can only be recruited as a supplement.
The status of these Indians in the army is naturally inferior to that of the British, so many of the lives and deaths of the charge were left to them.
After several people were killed by these Indian soldiers, the German soldiers reacted and immediately shouted and raised the weapons in their hands, and began to fight hand-to-hand with the Indian soldiers, and the trenches became chaotic for a while.
Qi Lin also participated in this trench battle. He held a sharp trench thorn in his left hand, and a trench staff with a heavy metal head in his right hand. He squeezed directly to the front of the battle line. Every time it fell, the skull of an Indian soldier was smashed to pieces.
"Kill them! Come on! Give it to me!"
The German second lieutenant finally remembered his identity as an officer, and while commanding his subordinates loudly, he drew his pistol, climbed to the shooting platform made of wood and rammed earth on the edge of the trench, and fired at the Indian soldiers from a high position. .
Only the second lieutenant killed only one person. An Indian soldier in the distance shot him. The bullet passed directly through the face, breaking the cervical spine, and then coming out from the back of the neck—the second lieutenant almost hit him. He fell down without screaming.
"Damn it!" Qi Lin stabbed the Indian veteran who was estimated to be in his fifties and had a lot of white beard. He looked back at the killed ensign, and immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Go behind the corner and get the flamethrower!"
The number of British soldiers pouring into the trenches is increasing. In addition to the Indians who are leading the battle, many British soldiers rushed to this position under the cover of tanks, standing outside the trenches and shooting inside. The German soldiers suffered casualties. The number of people suddenly increased.
After dropping more than a dozen corpses, the German army finally withdrew to the corner of the trench—this is the case when Qi Lin helped them break it, otherwise there would be more casualties.
Of course, Qi Lin himself received two cold shots, but the two shots hit the shoulder and knocked out half of Qi Lin’s ears. They weren’t too heavy, given Qi Lin’s ability to resist beatings and recover. , These two shots will not affect his combat effectiveness at all.
A hammer smashed half of the head of an Indian soldier rushing over with a saber, and then hit the Indian soldier's chest with a heavy kick. The body immediately flew upside down, knocking over several people behind.
Qi Lin seized the opportunity and quickly ran behind the corner of the trench.
Due to the rigorous character of the Germans, the corners of the trenches are all standard right angles. In this way, even if shells fall into the trenches, as long as they hide behind the corners in time, they will not be injured by shock waves and fragments. Similarly, When trench warfare breaks out, the right-angled corners can also buy more time and opportunities for the defender.
As soon as Qi Lin rushed into the corner, he threw his only grenade backwards. With a loud "bang", the Indian soldiers who had caught up were blown up in an instant.
"Flamethrower!"
Qi Lin called out loudly. The German soldiers who had retreated first took out the flamethrower, which was sealed in the box and prepared for trench warfare, and connected the tube of the fuel tank to a thick and long one. His tongue directly swept most of the trenches.
The Indian soldiers who were swallowed by the tongue of fire were able to let out a screaming scream at first, but soon, the screams gradually weakened, and the bodies covered in flames fell to the ground, and gradually curled up into a pile of human figures. Coke.
As for the British soldiers who were standing outside the trenches and shooting into the trenches, Qi Lin and the others didn't need to worry about this. The two nearby machine gun positions were just a round of shooting, and these unshielded soldiers fell to the ground.
After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting~EbookFREE.me~The British troops who rushed into the trenches were finally wiped out, but Qi Lin's original plan was almost destroyed-including himself. Only eight people of this group of German troops survived, and everyone was seriously injured.
"Corporal, I... what should we do now?" asked a German soldier with a wounded arm. The ensign died, and Qi Lin became the highest-ranked German soldier.
Qi Lin looked at the seven German soldiers. Three of them were lightly wounded, and they were in a situation where they could still fight normally; three were seriously injured, one of them was broken by a trench staff, and the other two were also shot, making the injuries less severe. The soldiers helped bandage the wound.
As for the last one, it is no longer saved-although he is still alive, the bullet passed through his back, smashing the lung lobes, and a large amount of blood is overflowing from his nose and mouth. In terms of the level of medical care during the First World War, let alone on the front line, even if it can be sent to the field hospital in the rear in time, it will definitely be ineffective.
Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. If this was a real battle, then these German soldiers would have been excluded from the battle sequence. Qi Lin would only ask them to retreat to the rear to recover their injuries, but he knew that these people All are "MPCs" virtualized by computers. To put it bluntly, they are "props" that Qi Lin can use at will during the test. Even if these people are dead, it is just a bunch of 0 and 1 changes. .
Thinking of this, Qi Lin didn't have any burden in his heart, and said with a serious face: "The battle is still going on, we can't retreat now, otherwise this position will not be held."
"But... we really can't keep going... or... or... let's run away..."
