"Tweet, tweet, tweet......"

"Ugh!"

A volley of heavy machine-gun bullets plunged into the dirt on the edge of the trench, and a recruit who had just poked his head out suddenly fell back into the trench on his back with a bloody hole in his head.

The recruit next to him, huddled in a ball with his knees, looked coldly at the blood that was rapidly spreading from under the man's head, and suddenly let out a sharp exclamation from his mouth, and pressed his head against his knees again, crying loudly.

But the battlefield doesn't believe in tears, and even more so if he is not sympathetic and weak, he wants to live, so he can only fight with his life, otherwise, he can only wait for death.

There were four or five recruits around the corpse who didn't dare to poke their heads out and shoot back, all in similar positions: huddled with their legs huddled and trembling.

Unfortunately, hiding in the trenches is not completely safe.

Just when the recruits were at a loss and terrified, there was a sudden sound of cannonballs piercing the air overhead.

One of them subconsciously looked up into the sky, only to see a black dot rapidly enlarged in front of him.

"Boom!"

After a violent explosion, four or five recruits, including the corpse, were instantly buried in the earth and rocks, and a five-meter-long trench completely collapsed.

More than a dozen fighters of the engineering company immediately rushed over and began to rush to repair the trenches.

Six or seven minutes later, the trenches that had been blown up were dug up again, and the bodies were dug out of the earth.

More than half of the head of one of the corpses was missing, and only half of the skull with one ear remained on the neck.

This was the recruit who had just looked up, and the mortar shell had hit him in the head, leaving only the half of his skull.

More than a dozen meters away from them, seven or eight recruits were also cowering in the trenches in fear.

The explosion didn't hurt them, but it made them more frightened and scared.

After the trenches had been re-dug up, they couldn't help but come over to see if any of them had any fatalities.

When they saw the corpse, which was only half a skull left, three of them threw up on the spot.

The engineer squad leader who led the people to repair the trenches turned out to be a soldier of the first company, and he said to the recruits with a gloomy face:

"See? It's not a way to hide, I was the same as you at the beginning, when I heard the gunshot, my legs and stomach turned straight up, but it was useless to hide, the enemy wouldn't stop fighting because we avoided him!

Only by killing all the enemies can we live, otherwise, we can only wait for the enemy to kill us!

Everyone is afraid of death, but if you want to live, you can only kill the enemy! Only by winning the battle can you live! ”

With that, he reached out and picked up the gun that was set aside, stood up and poked his head out to aim and shoot.

Although Lin Guozhong's order to Gong Dalong at that time was a feint, he also said that he wanted to combine the virtual and the real, so the attack of the 11th Regiment was very fierce and the advance speed was also very fast.

In less than an hour, the 11th Regiment advanced more than 100 meters.

From the time when the two sides were more than 300 meters apart, the distance between them was now less than 150 meters.

In fact, in night battles, due to the lack of light and poor line of sight, the casualty rate is not too high.

The real purpose of the 11th Regiment was to force the independent battalion to retreat or to reinforce it.

What can really cause casualties is the coverage and strafing of heavy fire such as mortars and heavy machine guns, and if you can die under the infantry guns, you can only blame the bad luck.

The dozen or so recruits in the trenches stared blankly at the engineer squad leader for a moment, the fear in their eyes gradually disappearing, replaced by anger and determination.

A recruit who had just vomited suddenly stood up from the ground, raised his hand to wipe the vomit from the corner of his mouth, and jumped to the engineer squad leader to take aim.

And then there's the second, the third......

More than a dozen fighters poked their heads out of the trenches one after another, looking through the gaps and crosshairs to find their targets.

Half an hour later, Lin Guozhong received a message sent back by Gong Dalong, saying that the 11th Regiment was met with stubborn resistance less than 80 meters from the opponent's position, and it was difficult to advance another meter.

At this time, the 24th Regiment, which followed behind the 11th Regiment, leaned up close to the left side of the 11th Regiment and further lengthened the front.

Although they also had mortars to assist in the attack, they did far less damage than the mortars on the side of the independent battalion.

Except for the slight difference in caliber and the power of the shells, the difference in the absence of bunker fortifications was instantly highlighted.

The shells of the 11th and 24th regiments hit and could hardly cause any casualties if they did not fall into the trenches accurately.

And since their two regiments did not have time to build bunker fortifications, every shell of the separate battalion would have killed and wounded at least a dozen people.

Under such a casualty ratio, if
