After paying a heavy price in casualties, the Germans finally captured the third line of defense, and at this point, the outermost three lines of defense of Mount Mortom were all overcome, and only the defense line at the foot of the hill and the line at the top of the mountain were left on Mount Mortom.

The General Staff began to pay attention to Mont Mortom, because once the Mont Mortom was captured, then it could threaten the battlefield of Verdun, and it was very likely that the battle would be won, and then the horse would set foot in Paris!

In order to keep Mount Mortom, the French army built a large number of fortifications at the foot of Mount Mortom and vowed not to allow the Germans to occupy Mount Mortom.

The two armies then fought to the death at the foot of Mount Mortom, and the daily casualties were very large, and the reimbursement of one regiment after another, and the Battle of Verdun was completely a mill of flesh and blood, a hell on earth.

"The casualties are too great, how can we capture Mount Mortom?" Bock looked at the map on the battlefield and pondered, since Bock commanded the last battle, his prestige had increased dramatically, and he himself liked to command battles on the front line, so he did not return to the rear staff.

Hitler came over at this time: "Help me win a Blue Max medal, and I will tell you how to capture the enemy's position." ”

"Oh?" Bock looked up: "You have a way?" ”

"I won't hide it from you, there is a way." Hitler smiled mysteriously.

Bock hugged Hitler affectionately: "Oh, don't hide your secrets if you have a way, our brothers are both cheerful people, say quickly, what a way." ”

After arguing with Bock, Hitler took a flashlight, and the beam of the flashlight shone on Bock's eyes, which was stimulated by the strong light, and even in the daytime, Bock's eyes couldn't help but squint.

"Don't make a fuss, tell me how to do it." Bock covered his eyes with his hands, thinking that Hitler was joking.

Hitler shook his flashlight and said with a smile: "The way to win is on the flashlight." ”

"On the flashlight?" Bock did not understand, there was no problem with him commanding large-scale operations, but it was not easy for him to guess Hitler's mind.

Hitler explained: "In the darkness, when the eyes of a person are temporarily blinded by strong light, and he cannot see clearly, my method is to spy on the enemy's pillboxes and machine-gun fire points in advance, and then gather all the searchlights and car lights, and at night the strong light suddenly illuminates the enemy's pillboxes and machine-gun fire points, and the enemy will definitely not be able to see, so that it is not much easier to capture the enemy's position." ”

"Good way!" Bock punched Hitler in the shoulder, causing Hitler to grin: "After this battle is over, I will help you apply for the Blue Max Medal!" ”

Hitler touched his aching shoulder and said hatefully: "Not only will you help me apply for the Blue Max Medal, but you will also compensate me for medical expenses, mental damages, and lost work, a total of 300 marks, and lose money!" ”

"Oops, I remember that hot water is boiling in my room, yes, my room may be burning, let's talk later, haha, I'll go first......" Talking about losing money, Bock ran as fast as he usually did with the soldiers.

At one o'clock in the evening, the German army launched a surprise attack.

"Everyone, keep up!"

Their position was not very far from the enemy's position at the foot of Mount Mortom, only about 500 meters, the effective range of rifle fire was 800 meters, and the machine gun was at least 600 meters, so as soon as the Germans charged on the position, the French position opened fire.

"Haha, there's a big meal to eat!" Remembering the promise of his superiors, the brute bull couldn't help but drool, before launching this offensive, a notice was issued in the troops, as long as the foot of Mount Mortom could be conquered tonight, the whole army would be rewarded with a feast, mark 5. If Mount Mortom can be conquered, then the whole army will have a three-day holiday and a reward of 10 yuan. In the past, the German army had almost no such rewards, and after the order was made known to the whole army, everyone was so excited that they wanted to take the money to spend it for a few days.

Bock supervised the battle behind him, and next to him, more than forty trucks lined up, and in the rest of the place, there were more than twenty searchlights, the trucks were trucks in the army, only the searchlights were hard to find, there were only more than ten of his own troops, and the rest of the dozen or so searchlights were borrowed from friendly troops.

Seeing that the German offensive on the front line was being hindered, Bock immediately ordered all the car lights and searchlights to be aimed at the enemy's pillboxes and firing points.

"Hey, hey, get some excitement!" Bock smiled sinisterly: "Flares and flares are all for me to hit the enemy position!" ”

The French position was suddenly brightly lit up, and many people in the French army suddenly lost their eyes to see clearly. Of course, the Germans were also irritated by the bright light of the flares, and there were many people who couldn't see clearly, but the Germans didn't care about anything else, they just ran forward and didn't have to shoot, so it didn't matter to the Germans.

"Kill!" Hitler was the first to rush to the French positions and ended the enemy's life with a clean sword.

The Germans poured into the trenches like a tidal wave, and the French could not resist them, and many of the soldiers fled backwards.

"Attack the top of the mountain!"

A regiment commander at the front ordered that this order was correct, that most of the French army was defending at the foot of the mountain, and that if the French army could easily flee back to the top of the mountain, it would be difficult to capture the top of the mountain in the future.

In one blow, then in decline, and in three exhaustions, it is best to attack the French army while it has not yet gained a foothold on the top of the mountain.

"The 6th Company will rush with me!" Hitler did not have time to clear the enemy on the French position, so he led the 6th company to rush to the top of the mountain, and Mount Mortom was not a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was very flat, and as long as the whole army continued to attack, it would definitely be able to take it.

"Da Da Da ......"

There was a French pillbox, the pillbox sprayed evil bullets, a series of sparks were exceptionally bright in the night, Hitler raised his hand and fired a shot, and the machine guns in the pillbox suddenly turned off.

"Woo......"

The shells pierced the air and landed heavily on the ground at the foot of Mount Mortom, exploding, and dozens of people fell to the ground.

"Woo woo woo ......"

More shells fell, and the ground shook violently like an earthquake.

"Be careful, heavy artillery!" Hitler squatted on the ground and shouted, he didn't expect the French to use heavy artillery, and the target of the heavy artillery bombardment was still at the foot of Mount Mortom, you must know that there are not only Germans at the foot of Mount Mortom now, but also many French.

"Uh......h Woo......" The piercing sound of shells in the air resounded unconsciously, and Hitler saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly hid in a shell crater.

"Sister, don't you want money for shells?" Hitler scolded that a gun fired in gold ten thousand taels, knowing that a heavy shell at this time could be worth 20 marks, that is, ten heavy shells could buy a car.

"Company commander, look!" The machine gunner Chubby came running in the rain of bullets and pointed to the south, and Hitler looked at it and saw a lot of French people running from the south, these were French reinforcements.

Hitler said sharply: "The French are determined not to let us occupy Mount Mortom, everyone rush with me and swear to take the heights of Mount Mortom to the death!" ”

Hitler ignored the threat of shells, and rushed to the top of the hill beyond the shell crater, but before he could rush a few steps, a few more shells hit, and Hitler's heart jumped wildly, and he hurriedly squatted down with his head held next to a rock.

Feeling that things were not good, he moved to a shell crater again. An effective way to prevent shelling is to hide in the shell crater, because the shell crater can hide from the shell fragments, and because the cannon barrel will be offset by vibration every time the cannon is fired, it is impossible for the shell to fall in the same place, and the shell will fall in different places due to the subtle difference in wind speed, charge and so on. It's a matter of probability, not that it's 100 percent safe to hide in a crater, but at least it's safer than outside.

"Company commander, let's go, our shells are also fighting, there are too many shells." Chubby grabbed Hitler.

"Our shells?" Hitler was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the German shells to also hit this side, it is very strange, generally speaking, when there are artillery on both sides, the artillery units should have an artillery battle, first dumb the enemy artillery to support the infantry, but why did not there be an artillery battle today, but shelled Mount Mortom and the foot of the mountain.

Hitler didn't have time to think so much, there were too many artillery, German artillery, French artillery, artillery of both sides together, indiscriminately full coverage of the land of Mount Mortom into one square kilometer, and the two armies vowed to cover every inch of Mount Mortom with shells.

"Let's run!"

Hitler really couldn't stand it, and he could be unlucky at any time under such artillery bombardment, and he had no chance to attack the top of the hill at this time, so he had to order the whole army to retreat.

"Come, brute, I'll carry you." The brute bull was wounded in a crater and let out a cry of pain, Hitler carried him on his back, and the rest of the people also pulled up the wounded man and prepared to run.

"Company commander, which way to run?" Wei Krich looked around and saw that there were enemy troops all around.

Hitler raised his eyes and panicked, there were French people all around, and there were shells, which way was it safer to run? Recalling the map of the Verdun battle he had seen before, Hitler gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take a gamble and go west." ”

To the south there were French reinforcements, and to the north and east were the defensive positions at the foot of Mount Mortom, at the foot of which the Germans and the French had been fighting bayonets before, but under indiscriminate shelling, these men were certain to die.

To the west was the top of the hill, and on the top of the hill was the French position, and Hitler had to run halfway up the mountain.

Run!

The shell exploded behind him, and Hitler picked up the bull and ran wildly, time is of the essence, and the safer it is to get away from this hell in advance.

Finally, I don't know how long they ran, far away from the area where the shells were focused on bombardment, Hitler and the others were almost safe, but Hitler and the others were completely frightened by the bombing, and after running forward for more than ten minutes, by a small lake, the sound of guns and cannons was completely gone, and they finally stopped, threw the wounded on the ground at once, sat on the ground and gasped, one by two were so tired that they died.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Hitler felt parched and drank whatever the water by the lake was, regardless of whether the water was clean or not.

"My head hurts!" Chubby lay on the ground and complained.

"It's finally safe, it's safe." Hitler admired Xiao Fat a little, he carried a wounded man on his shoulder, held a light machine gun in both hands, and carried a string of bullets on his body, but he didn't expect him to be able to keep up with everyone without falling behind.

With the help of the dim moonlight, Hitler lay on the ground and looked at the people who had followed, fortunately, Manniu, Weiklich, Gaskille, Chubby, Bald, Wharton, Wallenstein, and Dunnis all followed, and everyone did not die, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Time was urgent, he took a breath and ordered: "I don't know where this is, Ann is not safe, Weiklisch, Wharton, Dennis, the three of you are smart, and you are not injured, now go and investigate the situation nearby." ”

"Ah, I haven't rested enough, can I wait a while?" The cunning Dunnis protested.

Hitler said, "Go now, walk slowly, rest as you go." ”

Weykrich and Wharton were already on their way, and Dennis was still grinding time, and Hitler stood up and gave him a kick, and he limped away.

Hitler continued: "Bald, you stop the bleeding for everyone, and the rest of the people are on guard with me. ”

Gaskille, Manniu, and Wallenstein all had injuries of varying degrees, among which Manniu was the most seriously injured, his chest was bleeding constantly, and he passed out, and in such a situation, he didn't know if he could live.
