On June 21, 1916, southeast winds of magnitude 3-4 and cloudy.

Under the cover of darkness, there was an occasional loud bang that was not thunder, but an explosion that came from the ground after the shell was fired from the barrel and fell to the ground after some time.

It is always said that there will be a lot of peace before the war, but the truth is always a little different from the rumors, the Solme region has hundreds of thousands of troops in each of the Entente and the Allies, both know that a major war is about to break out in this land, but no one wants to stop, and from time to time they will fire a few shells at the other side's positions.

Of course, the Allied shelling was of an irritating nature, and they had recently been so annoyed by the German Storm Commandos that they could not resist shelling even if a major offensive was brewing.

Under the darkness of the night, the cloudy weather obscured the moonlight, and if you did not pay attention to the darkness, you would not be able to find a few figures crawling slowly forward in a prostrate position, they were the Li Qi commandos who set off at two o'clock in the second half of the night.

War has now become a static war mode, which is a battlefield environment full of trenches. In this environment, both armies of different camps pulled up barbed wire and hid in the trenches, leaving an irregular distance in between.

Those who advance in a prostrate position move at a variable speed and frequency, and whenever there is a flare overhead, they need to lie on the ground and remain motionless.

As a preparation for his departure, Li Qi made a lot of camouflage-like cloaks, which were sewn with strips of cloth with earth and grass in a trench coat, which was quite simple to make but more practical than expected.

Now, for example, a flare was shot into the air from the side of the Entente, and the creeping commandos were covered with special cloaks, even if there was a bright light, and unless they knew in advance that there were people there, they would not notice anything unusual about the slightly bulging things that blended in with the surrounding colors.

A flare is generally in the air for no more than 40 seconds, and Richie, who is lying on the ground, can only pull up the gas mask on his face in order to see the scenery clearly, and then an unbearable stench immediately enters his nostrils.

Resisting the physiology of vomiting, Richie took advantage of the tiny gap in his cloak to look at the opposite position, where the reflection of the light could be seen in the reflection of the glass. He knew that it was a kind of trench telescope, which he could hide in and snoop in, without having to stick his head out of the bunker.

The stench came from the bodies of soldiers killed when the two armies attacked each other before, because no one cleaned the battlefield after the battle, and the bodies of the dead were always left in place.

There were many corpses of the war dead around the prostrate position of Richie's team.

Some of the corpses of the war dead are still fresh, they are the corpses left behind by the two sides in the recent days when they launched a tentative attack, and each corpse will maintain the expression before death, and because the angle of falling down after being shot is different, it poses in various poses, looking like a hell on earth.

In fact, the battlefield is more of a swollen and decomposed corpse.

The swollen corpse usually has a high belly, and the hands, feet, and face are also very swollen, which is very terrifying when combined with the body that has been twisted by the fall after the battle. They are swollen because the hot weather causes pus in the body, and the miasma cannot be excreted. It is precisely because of the swelling that some of the swelling is so strong that the flesh can no longer support it, it will explode with a "Bombe", and then the cyan intestines will be thrown around, and the maggots in the body will also be sprinkled everywhere by the explosive force.

The rotting corpses looked a little better than the swollen corpses, and by better they meant that they weren't so horrible, but the rotten flesh and the constantly stirring maggots were still disgusting to look at, especially the bones where the rotten flesh and maggots were surging.

Veterans who have been fighting for two years have long been accustomed to corpses with various mentalities on the battlefield, and what makes them unbearable is the stench. Luckily, because both the Allies and the Allies had been using gas bombs frequently, both camps had urgently made gas masks, thanks to the fact that they didn't have to smell the unbearable smell of gas masks.

The flares soon fell, and after there was no light around them again, there was a faint sound of grinding on the ground, and a dozen or so slight "bulges" slowly moved forward.

"Barbed wire."

"Be careful when using pliers so that you don't make a noise from the can shells hanging on them."

"No problem."

There was a slight "click", followed by the sound of the wire being cut.

The cut wire was rolled away by one person on each side of the left and right, and the first person passed, then the second person, and when the sixth person arrived, there was a "pop!" Then there was a "boom" sound, and a light bloomed in mid-air.

The sudden appearance of flares made the people of this commando team a spirit, they were now too concentrated, and they were in the position of barbed wire, and the fatal thing was that the many wires in this place were actually rolled away to the left and right, leaving a gap of about one meter.

At this moment, time seemed to become difficult, and everyone was tense, especially the commandos who were closer to the barbed wire gap, the more cold sweat on their foreheads, they must have prayed in their hearts one by one.

Li Qi, who was silently counting the seconds, read the number 36, and the flare in mid-air was finally extinguished, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another flare was fired from the opposite side in the next second, and the position of this flare was still directly above them.

I don't know who said in a trembling voice, trying to keep it as low as possible, "Oh God, have they found us?" ”

Litch knew the voice, and its owner was Andreas. Heisenberg, 27 years old, is a veteran of Richie. Usually he behaves very steadily, but he didn't expect that now he violates battlefield discipline and speaks casually.

A string of words came from the trench opposite, and because it was English, Li Qi understood what he was saying. It was a British lookout who was wondering, saying that something was wrong with the barbed wire side, and it was recommended to focus on this location.

"The other party is not completely sure, but ......" Li Qi's breathing became very heavy, and he was extremely apprehensive in his heart: "But as long as there is suspicion, they will definitely shoot tentatively here!" ”

The Brit was still shouting, and then a burst of French appeared, and as the minutes ticked by, the second flare went out, and before Litchie or the commandos could react, the third flare was shot into the air......
