(Thanks to Brother Axian for his reward, it is the support of friends that has given Yutou the motivation to get to this point, thank you.) ）

Just as Chen Kangjian and the others were gradually advancing, Grace and the others also began to prepare for harvesting.

At the beginning of the battle, there was no movement in the second line of the German line, and with the sound of violent explosions and fierce gunfire, the shadow of the second line of defense appeared.

At first, three or five sappers came out to check the line, but the Germans buried the telephone line in the ground, and it was impossible to throw it away little by little. Then another herald went to the first line of defense on foot, apparently to determine the situation.

This is the meaning of Greve's existence, there were a total of 7 heralds in the three groups of heralds, all of whom were defeated by Griff's cold guns.

Fortunately, the muzzle of the gun was covered with a cloth, and the muzzle flame was not obvious, otherwise Griff and the others would have been discovered.

After the third group of heralds was defeated, the Germans on the second line of defense began to assemble, and they were going to be reinforced directly. The sound of gunfire and explosions on the first line of defense had begun to become dull, indicating that the battle had begun to move into the tunnels, and without reinforcements, the Germans on the first line of defense would be completely annihilated.

The reinforced Germans probably had about a battalion, and although it was a temporary reinforcement, the Germans were well-dressed, well-armed and showed good personal qualities.

The Germans did not advance in a search state because of the successive deaths of the heralds, but used a rapid march to reinforce the first line of defense.

The Germans marched quickly along the trench, which was located just in front of Griff's lurking position. Xu Sheng and Cheng Feiming installed a large number of mines and explosives in the traffic trenches, waiting for the Germans to run out.

The individual qualities of the Germans were quite good, they advanced at a fast pace, and soon came to the middle of the communication trench, which was already a minefield.

Rumble...... Boom, boom, boom

The sound of a violent explosion shook the wild, the first mine blew off three Germans, more grenades were triggered by the triggering device, and the chain of explosions continued to sound.

This is actually a serial thunder.

Although the German soldiers were fearless, they were not willing to die, and now there were no sappers to clear the mines, and the German soldiers were so frightened by the continuous explosions that they did not dare to advance, and no matter how the officers urged, the soldiers did not dare to use their bodies to clear the mines.

Half of the traffic trench in front had collapsed, more than 30 soldiers had been killed in the explosion just now, and only four or five people had been injured. From the proportion of casualties, we can see how frustrating the density of minefields is, and entering minefields is almost a life of death.

The officers, helpless, drove the soldiers out of the communication trenches and marched in formation on the ground.

This is just the convenience of Cliff for them.

Greeve and his men carried a large number of Lewis machine guns, all of which used 47 rounds of drums to provide a steady stream of lethality.

While Cheng Feiming and Xu Sheng were laying mines, Griff set up an improvised position, stuck between the first and second lines of German defense, with eight Lewis machine guns on the left and right flanks of the position.

Griff was ready to use the crossfire invented by the Germans to pay back to the Germans.

The Germans were defenseless against this, and their thinking was already rigid. In the German concept, the French never used the tactic of detour.

It is no wonder that the Germans, the extent of the Battle of the Somme, the length of which was only about 30 kilometers. If the armies of both sides participating in the battle have only one regiment, then there is enough room for a detour. But now more than 2 million troops are fighting on both sides, with an average of more than 70,000 per kilometre of combat. This density has lost the space for circuitousness.

In the eyes of the Germans, unless the French could dig tunnels to get around the rear of the Germans, a small detour would only serve as a harassment and would have no decisive value.

The Germans would never have imagined that the Sixth Regiment presided over a roundabout nonsense, and the family craft was to make holes.

The sound of explosions and firing on the first line of defense was getting weaker and weaker, which indicated that the battle had penetrated deep into the tunnels, and the German commander, in a hurry, ordered the troops to move quickly from the ground.

Brethren on the front lines need help!

Soon after, the Germans came within range of the Greif ambush position.

"Click......" Griff was not good at words, and he gave the battle order with heavy fire.

"Click......"

At least 20 Lewis machine guns roared wildly at the same time, spewing tongues of fire in front of the position to form a row of fire fans, flashing like the tongues of poisonous snakes, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Germans.

At this moment, life is always fragile.

Griff was in the middle of the position, with at least six Germans in his crosshairs. When the gun rang out, Griff only felt a slight vibration of the butt against his shoulder, and deadly bullets had gushed out of the chamber.

Although it was still night, the visibility was decent under the reflection of the snow.

Griff could clearly see the blood mist that exploded on the chests of the Germans, the straight military uniforms were torn into strips of cloth by bullets, the shredded flesh and bone stubble exploded with the blood mist, helmets, water bottles, bullets, and even grenades, as long as the bullet chain was swept by, everything was scattered in all directions, just like the German soldiers.

When Griff fired, many German soldiers only had a thought of "enemy attack" flashing in their hearts, and before they could shout it, they were crippled by the ensuing metal storm. Many people fell on their stomachs, using the bodies of their companions as cover to prepare for a counterattack, while many more scattered and tried to jump into traffic trenches to avoid the hail of bullets.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Explosions were constantly heard in the traffic trenches, which were now not shelters, but Death Valley.

The German commander was also lying on the ground, and after carefully observing Griff's position, he called the herald and wanted to organize the troops to counterattack. Unexpectedly, just as the herald had just crawled over, two bullets flew over, and both the commander and the herald were killed.

The most indispensable thing in the sixth regiment is the precision shooter, the hand, eye, and body have long been coordinated in the long-term training of the martial arts, it is really simple to practice marksmanship, "three points and one line" and other aiming methods, almost one point can be broken, but also can draw inferences.

Having lost their commander, the Germans were left in a difficult situation of fighting on their own.

The machine guns of the Germans were the MG08 and MG08/15, both of which were heavy and inconvenient to carry, so the unit did not carry machine guns when it came to the front. In this way, the Germans, who were mainly rifles, wanted to shoot at Griff, who mainly used Lewis machine guns, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of density and strength.

In general, when setting up a position, the first consideration is the bunker.

Griff's bunkers, while improvised bunkers, also provide basic defense.

The Germans did not, and most of them used the corpses of their classmates as cover. You know, corpses can be shattered by bullets.

In less than ten minutes of shooting, the Germans suffered heavy casualties and could not sustain themselves, and they receded like a tide.

"Brother, let's go to the front to help." Xu Sheng was very excited, and Lewis, who was carrying a reddish barrel, asked Greeve to fight.

"No, let's go for a second one." Cliff has a claim.

"First, second?" Xu Sheng couldn't keep up with Griff's train of thought.

Griff didn't answer, patting the clothes off his body.

German military uniform.
