……

The current cannon can deal with tanks, but what is needed is that the cannon should not be too far away, at least within the visual distance of both sides, and there should be no obstruction in the trajectory.

Adolph. Hitler only reported the results of the battle, and did not talk about the losses. In fact, the machine gun group in Richie's reserve brigade was not without losses, and I don't know whether to rejoice or be sad that the losses were human lives rather than machine guns.

"Gas bomb !!"

Panicked screams were shouted out frequently, one after the other, and not alone.

Some of the shells fired from the Entente did not explode when they landed, but emitted yellowish-white smoke after a muffled sound.

Li Qi very neatly took off the gas mask from his waist and put it on his head, and he shouted as he put it on: "Except for the machine gun crew, all retreat!! ”

That's right, once both sides use gas bombs, it is the machine gun crew that is left behind. This is the experience that the two sides have summed up in countless poison gas battles since the German army used poison gas bombs for the first time in 1915.

Richie put on his gas mask and ran out of bunker. Feng. Kleist crashed into the ground, and the two of them fell sideways together.

Ewald. Feng. Kleist was just following a machine gun crew, mainly to observe how the machine gun team dealt with the tank. After the Entente withdrew the tank, he came to find Rich, but he did not expect the Entente to withdraw the tank and immediately fired a poison gas bomb.

"It's an optical gas bomb!" Ewald. Feng. Kleist was also wearing a gas mask, and his voice sounded muffled: "We need to retreat to a position where the wind is favorable!" ”

It's complete nonsense! Any side that uses gas bombs always needs to observe the weather and wind direction first, otherwise it will be like the German army in Verdun on January 31, 1915, firing thousands of tear gas bombs at French positions, but the effect of the weather did not achieve the desired results.

Optical gas bombs? A more correct name would be a suffocating agent! It is a kind of poison gas bomb that mainly injures the lungs of the human body, causing pulmonary edema and difficulty breathing, and can be fatal in severe cases!

The two ran out of cover and looked out, a large cloud of yellow-white smoke was blowing towards the defensive line, the smoke had already filled the first line of defense, and everywhere German soldiers could be seen running desperately towards the second line of defense.

The fatal moment came when the Allies not only fired poison gas shells, but they also began to fire conventional shells, and the German soldiers who had escaped from the trenches were tilted by large areas of the shells as they retreated.

[There is no doubt about the cruelty of war, but the cruelty is far from what people outside the battlefield can imagine!] 】

There are gas masks now, but they are actually very uncomfortable to wear, and they only protect against several types of gas bombs, and have no defense against a type of gas that targets the skin.

Lucky was glad that the Entente was not firing a rotten gas bomb this time, and a group of people, including him, were running in the winding trenches. When they moved, they could not only hear the sound of shells, but also the sound of machine-gun fire on the front line, which should have been attacked by the Allied infantry after the poisonous fog flew by, and then the German machine-gun crews blocked it.

Soon, the artillery on the German side also began shelling, covering the buffer zone between the positions of the two armies. It is very obvious that it is to hinder the sustainable investment of the Allied infantry, so that the Allied infantry that has been mobilized will form a disconnect with the rear.

The success of the artillery tactics proved time and time again, the offensive connection of the Entente was interrupted, the follow-up infantry could not keep up, and the charging infantry was killed and wounded one by one by the German machine gun crews left behind in the defensive positions.

When the number of Allied soldiers who launched the attack dropped to a certain number, the attack of the Allied soldiers had to be interrupted, but they were faced with a near-fatal situation, unable to attack forward, and the rear road was cut off by artillery bombardment, so they could only stay in place miserably and enjoy the fear of the limit.

I don't know how many poison gas bombs were fired by the Entente, but almost two hours have passed, and the poison gas on the battlefield has naturally dissipated.

After the poison gas dissipated, the evacuated German troops returned to the front line, and corpses could be seen everywhere along the way, some of them were mutilated by the shelling, but the most horrific were the remains of soldiers who had died of suffocation.

What does it look like to die of suffocation? Li Qi not only saw a corpse with a mouth wide open to breathe, the nails of his hands scratching the dirt on the ground tearing and bleeding, and his legs kicking on the ground, most of the corpses had a common scene, that is, the face before death retained the fear of the last moment, showing a distorted and dead face.

The veteran did not insult or speak, and everyone walked in silence, because they had seen so many such scenes that they had reached the point of numbness.

Vomiting while walking, and screaming in horror or anger, such people must be new recruits who have just entered the battlefield, and they do not understand the indifference shown by the veterans.

After a fierce confrontation, a brief lull appeared on the battlefield, with Litch and Ewald . Feng. Kleist had just received new news that there was no sign of an attack on the Allied side, and some Allied soldiers with white flags had entered the buffer zone to collect the bodies of the war dead.

There were too many corpses on the battlefield of the Somme, and this was the first ceasefire between the two sides in seven days, because if the corpses were not removed, the decomposing corpses would cause a plague. The appearance of the plague did no one good, especially the local French.

Some people dressed as civilians entered the battlefield, and they spontaneously rushed to collect the corpses, some from Allied and German-controlled areas. In fact, they did not come after being driven away, but the Allied side and the German side informed the local officials that there would be a certain place where the exchange of fire would stop, and then the civilians themselves organized themselves to come to the battlefield to collect the bodies of the war dead.

"There was no cessation of fighting on the Verdun side, and the bodies of the dead were decomposing on the battlefield and turning into skeletons." Ewald. Feng. Kleist glanced at Richie, who was sitting in a daze on the sandbag in the trench, knocked on the can, waited for Richie's gaze to come over, and continued: "We have attacked Agunna for the second time, and captured the fortress of Douaumont on the frontal battlefield for the fourth time, but the French are very tenacious, more tenacious than anyone imagined!" ”

Litchie didn't speak, he just watched Ewald quietly. Feng. Kleist, because he knew Ewald. Feng. Kleist will surely say something later.

Sure enough, Ewald. Feng. Kleist was silent for a moment before he said, "The United States will enter the war, and will soon be on the side of the Entente, and the crown prince has learned of this from some sources. ”

Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Is it finally coming?" ”

[Alas...... In this way, even if Verdun is defeated, France will not give in, right? 】
