Volume 1 First Glimpse of the Nightmare Chapter 22 The Final Mission

"Based on the history we are familiar with, you are also a more reliable existence than the likes of Neville and Xiafei. After the showdown, my attitude changed quite a bit, and I no longer nodded at Pétain as before, "Nivelle, it's not enough, but I really didn't win against him this time." There was some anger in Petain's tone. "Not enough to take it to heart. "Neville is but a clown, General Pétain, and you will eventually set foot on the top of the mountain," I reassured, "Shh," interrupted Pétain, "and the future, whether true or not, is not enough for the present." ”

"I will eventually fall into the abyss...", this half sentence is a little uncomfortable in my throat, but after thinking about it again, it is better not to say it, anyway, there is nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence. "Since you said that we can't lose this war, then I will give you a task with the final command. "Whatever the fighting on the other side of the Somme, at least the Germans are distracted." If we could get rid of their artillery, even Neville would have won the war. "But," I continued, "the German artillery reserves are not so easily destroyed. "I need you to lead your special forces behind enemy lines. You don't have to destroy it yourself, you just need to give me a general location. Rushed back in five hours to tell me that I had gone to beg the area to be bombed by the Nivelle cover, and that was all I could see. Pétain said.

"Side quest triggered:

Into the Enemy Lines: Squad side quests, scout German-controlled areas, report the correct German ammunition reserve area to Petain Command or destroy their ammunition reserve area on their own, mission reward: Get a chance to draw weapons and equipment at the time of settlement.

Note: This side quest is linked to the current main quest, if the side quest can be successfully completed, it will be deemed that the French army has the upper hand in the war and the main quest will be successful, if the side quest is not completed, the difficulty of the main quest will be doubled.

Do you accept it?"

I can't find a reason not to accept this at all.,If this side quest can't be completed, then give up the main quest as soon as possible.。 Li Feiying and Ge Lin and I all understood this truth, so we chose to accept it almost at the same time. "The current team of three people accepted, more than half, and successfully accepted the mission to go deep into the enemy position. ”

"Leave this matter to our special combat team. I said, turning and walking out the door, "Besides, General Pétain, we won't see each other again if nothing else." "I don't want to have any more trouble with you. Pétain laughed, "Farewell, Adrian... Soldier. ”

The special combat team is worthy of being the elite drawn from various units, and they quickly assembled in full force and waited for me to give a lecture on the playground. I briefly explained the mission and led the team out, for these soldiers there is no need to boost morale, they can adjust their mentality to the combat state very well.

We stepped on our horses and rushed out of the gates of Fort Duburg. Although it is stealth reconnaissance, on the one hand, we are very short of time, and after Neville completely takes command of the command, our special combat team will either go to the front line as cannon fodder or to the rear as logistics, so there is no way to walk around the German positions slowly and meticulously, we only need to rush into the enemy position, determine the location of the ammunition reserve before sending it to death, and find a way to report back. On the other hand, there was an exchange of fire more than ten kilometers deep between Duborg and the German positions. For the two sides who are in full swing, no one can control the rapid rush on a horse, but if you are strolling on the battlefield, both sides will you.

In real life, I would ride horses, but most of them were horses that had been ridden from childhood to adulthood, far less than the military horses at this time. Fortunately, although the military horse is wild, it is very human, so we have been on a mission in the past few days with the help of horses, and now the last mission in this trial also needs to rely on military horses.

"Fernand, you lead 2 teams to scout areas 20 to 36. "I directed my lieutenant to carry out the mission separately from me in order to speed up the search and avoid being swept away by the Germans. "Yes!" Fernand parted ways with a few young men, "Team 1, follow me!" I took Li Feiying, Green, and the two French soldiers in the other direction.

We raced past the French position, and we were not afraid to bump into our own men, because the French soldiers were all cowering in the fortifications and did not dare to come out. However, the rush into the German position caused a lot of confusion, after all, the Germans did not consider that the French army still had the courage to charge.

Rushing through the firefight area is easier than I imagined, one side is just pretending to be trying to attack, anyway, the opposite side will not be able to beat down for a while like Wang Ba, and the other side is willing to be Wang Ba without pretending, anyway, this is an order from above, and no one will blame the paddling.

I picked up the cavalry saber and hacked to death a few German soldiers who didn't have time to react, brushing up on the progress of the optional missions. During this time, Li Feiying has already completed the kill target (unfortunately he can't keep it when he is about to clear it), I still have about a dozen heads, and Ge Lin is no longer ready to engage in this optional task, he just wants to successfully complete the main quest as soon as possible.

We finally caught our attention as we went on a rampage through the German positions, and a German armored vehicle came from our side, and the machine gunners on the roof fired at us in a five-way row. Although the distance was still far and the accuracy was touching, there were still sporadic bullets that damaged us. The military horse under my crotch was shot twice, and I let out a wailing sound, but I continued to lead the way with blood.

"Wang Xu, we can't get rid of that armored car!" roared Green. At this time, he stopped acting, and directly called me by my real name in his mind. On somewhat rough terrain, armored vehicles naturally could not catch up with horses. But now the Verdun area, unrecognizable, with blasted stones, broken trees, burning wreckage, is not somewhat rugged, but rather rugged. There are a lot of obstacles that our horses need to go around, and the armored vehicles only need to run over them in one go, so we can't pull the distance at all.

I rode over half of the tree trunk that had fallen to the ground, and fixed my eyes on the high ground ahead of me to see a black cannon hole, "This is... In Area 3, the German artillery position was discovered, "I have long lost my sense of direction this way, and I can only judge the area I am currently in by relying on the terrain around me to match the sand table of my previous memory," Otto! Feedback to the headquarters!" I yelled, "Yes!" Otto held the reins with one hand, reflexively picked up the walkie-talkie, and began to call the headquarters, "This is the first special operations team! Enemy artillery was discovered..." Greene reminded loudly but it was too late, a tree on the left side of Otto's direction that had been scorched by fire, swept away by the machine-gun bullets of the armored vehicle, could no longer bear its own weight, and collapsed with a bang, just as Otto and his horse were knocked down.

"!" I scolded, "Help!Brother Flying Eagle, are you confident?" I knew he couldn't hear clearly, so I pointed to the approaching armored vehicle. Li Feiying nodded solemnly, picked up his spear, turned around and rushed towards the armored car.

At this time Otto was trying to climb out of the suppression of the trees, but the German machine guns did not give him this opportunity. With a burst of machine-gun fire, Otto, his horse, the fallen tree, and, most importantly, the radio, were all smashed to pieces.

Li Feiying obviously also knew the importance of radio in this mission, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but roar: "Give me death!" The German soldiers turned the muzzle of the machine gun and fired at the charging Li Feiying. Suddenly, Li Feiying's war horse was shot several times, blood splashed everywhere, and he fell to the ground with a wail.
