"Okay, my children, don't worry about me as a bad old man, from now on I will be a small soldier under your hands, don't treat me as a general, now is the time of life and death for our revolutionary team, everyone should be a soldier with a gun."

Major General Oprah glanced at the three of them, picked up a spare Miller rifle from the side of the watchtower, skillfully pulled the bolt, checked it, and then closed the bolt, ignoring the three people who looked at each other, and walked down the stairs of the watchtower by himself.

Major General Oprah's appearance made the three of them really cry and laugh, but the three of them were all people who had been with the major general for many days, and they knew the major general's temper well, and they knew what the major general decided, even if they tried to persuade them, it was useless, so they could only follow the major general and go to the trench in front together.

In the trenches, although the soldiers knew that the big war was coming, these people were not new soldiers, and there was no tension at this time.

Some soldiers held their rifles and ignored the coldness of the earthen walls of the trenches, and just leaned on where to sleep with a big smile; Some soldiers who can't sleep are wiping their beloved rifles there, and the movements are as gentle as if they are in love; There were even some veterans who put bullets on their big backpacks, and several people gathered around to play bullet chess. (similar to chess now)

The arrival of the major general did startle these veterans, but no one was too nervous, and no one stood up to salute.

It's not that these soldiers are disrespectful to the major general, but where are the battlefield regulations, just look at the clothes that the major general and major are wearing now to know how strict these regulations are.

In the Empire's combat regulations, if an officer at the rank of colonel or above wanted to inspect the front line, he had to change into a uniform of the same color as an ordinary soldier, and he could not wear a badge that was clearly distinguishable from a soldier except for a badge that could only be seen at close range.

This is a bloody lesson, since the emergence of snipers on the battlefield who specialize in killing important targets, the Imperial army regulations have added these restrictions, including the fact that soldiers cannot salute casually when the commander inspects, and the battlefield commander can no longer be on the front line of the battlefield within 5 hours before and after the battle, etc.

The trenches of this period were very deep, and Major General Oprah was more than 1.8 meters tall, but at this time he only needed to bend down slightly to walk in the trenches, so the speed was very fast, and it took less than a few minutes to reach the position where the machine gun was placed.

The three people who followed behind the major general smiled knowingly, although they didn't say it, but everyone understood that the original major general couldn't wait to come to the front line, but it was not just as simple as worrying about the battle situation, this old thing, he must have been curious in his heart, and wanted to come to the front line to personally watch the heavy machine gun shooting effect, but unfortunately he came a step too late, and he didn't see the shocking scene of the heavy machine gun test firing just now, otherwise the expression must be very exciting.

"Did you shoot live?"

Looking at the bullet casings that fell all over the ground next to the battle position, the major general said regretfully.

"Yes, General, just now each machine gunner test-fired 50 rounds."

Major Davis looked at the major general with a look of pity on his face, and replied with a smile.

"How's it going?"

Although Major General Oprah regretted it, he thought that this was just a test firing, and he could see a more exciting scene when the battle started, so he regretted it and recovered.

"Shocking, General, where did you get these amazing weapons, if we could have had them sooner, where would we have ......?"

Major Davis didn't know that these weapons were exchanged by Terry, and thought that they were new weapons that the Major General got from after they left, so he also sighed at this time.

"Davis, give me your binoculars."

Major Davis's misunderstanding, the major general did not break it, but he did not respond to his emotion, he just took the telescope by himself, and he didn't care about the trench full of mud and snow, so he just lay on it, holding the telescope and looking at the front of the battlefield.

"Well, you guys have a lot of ideas. Such a position can indeed give full play to the effectiveness of rapid-fire weapons. But is the machine gun too densely placed? ”

Major General Oprah is a battle-hardened veteran, and although the scarecrows are now either shot down or burned to the ground, he still sees the way from the machine gun position and makes his own suggestions.

"Major General, this is all due to Lieutenant Terry, and we can't think of such a subtle method. Originally, we thought that you had explained this arrangement, but we didn't expect it to be Lieutenant Terry's idea alone. ”

Hearing Major General Oprah's praise, Major Davis and Lieutenant Sean understood, and their eyes were full of strangeness when they immediately looked at Terry, after all, in their imagination, Terry, a guy who rose from the grassroots soldiers, had such insight, which was indeed incredible.

"Okay, don't care how this little guy came up with this method, anyway, you've been in contact with him for so long, you should know that this kid has more magical places to go! Hahaha......"

"By the way, Davis, is there any intelligence on the enemy?"

Major General Oprah also teased Terry, and then asked about the enemy's situation.

"The sentinel who went to scout hasn't reported back yet, but it should be back soon."

Hearing Major General Oprah's question, Lieutenant Sean looked at his pocket watch and saw that the appointed time for the reconnaissance company to report was approaching, so he hurriedly reported it.

Sure enough, as Lieutenant Sean said, a few minutes later, after the Major General had inspected a circle of machine-gun emplacements, several fast-running scouts returned to their positions in a thin layer of snow.

"Well, I found that the cavalry troops of the Great Sacrifice did not."

As soon as the scout heard steadily, the knight on the horse flipped off his horse, and before he could catch his breath, Lieutenant Sean couldn't wait to come to him and ask.

"Lieutenant Report, we found a makeshift camp for the High Priest's assembly team 14 kilometers ahead. A few of us came back first to report, and the company commander and the rest of the men continued to monitor the enemy's movements. ”

Which of the leading knights was a second lieutenant, and when he heard Lieutenant Sean's inquiry, he didn't care about dry mouth, and immediately handed the reins to the soldiers on the side, and quickly reported the information he had detected.

"Okay, you've worked hard, you have a good rest first, after the battle starts, you cavalry still have important tasks."

Lieutenant Sean nodded to the scout, and then ran back to report the information to Major General Oprah.

"Looks like these guys are ready for a night attack."

In this era, although the cavalry is still the nemesis of the infantry, thermal weapons also pose a certain threat to the cavalry, so many intelligent cavalry generals will choose the way of night attack.

PS: In view of the suggestions of many book friends, the paragraph quoted at the beginning of "Terry's Autobiography" is easy to interrupt the reader's coherence, so this way of quoting is removed from this chapter onwards, but the lieutenant will intersperse these good sentences into the appropriate plot.
