Chapter 21: Gold
On the surface, the Germans, after almost an hour of fire preparation, sent about a battalion of troops to attack.
During the First World War, the skirmishers, tanks and other accompanying battles had not yet appeared, and the infantry launched an attack, still using crowd tactics.
The so-called crowd tactic is to fill in the lives of people, and if you can't kill the enemy, you will also tire the enemy to death.
The British fought with human lives, so they suffered 60,000 casualties a day. The Germans fought the same way, so David was now facing Germans who were close to a regiment.
David had only one company under his command, and he had died a lot just now, and his troops were seriously insufficient, and his position was shaky.
Fortunately, there were still reserves, and after David asked his superiors for support, it didn't take long for a battalion of French troops to come to their aid, and they were able to repel the Germans.
"Mr. Major, a hidden German camp has been found inside the tunnel, and I am organizing an attack before the battle began, please instruct." David found the Major, who had led the team to come to support, and reported the situation in the tunnel.
"Mr. Ensign, you have worked hard, and you will get the reward you deserve." The major in the officer's boots made a vague promise, and then asked in detail: "Tell me what you know, and see what we can do." ”
"Yes, Mr. Major. During the break in the fighting, a team of laborers came to deliver supplies, and then they found a hidden fork in the tunnel......" David explained, walking into the tunnel.
"Wait, you're saying that a labor team found a fork in the road, a fork in the road that you didn't find either?" The Major interrupted David's words and asked suspiciously.
"Uh...... Yes, Mr. Major, although it embarrasses me, it is true, it is the group of Chinese who found out. David blushed and admitted that there was nothing to hide, and that devout Christians could not lie.
"Chinese? What did they use to find out? With their ridiculous braids? "This major is a bit venomous, if Qin Zhiyuan is here, he can't say that there will be another verbal war: "What about them?" ”
"When the Germans attacked just now, I ordered them to fork the road to prevent the Germans from rushing out and causing chaos." David pouted and rolled his eyes in disdain, his expression was so hidden that the major didn't notice.
"One bad decision can have serious consequences. It is clear that you made a bad decision, start now, get ready for battle. The major stopped, then ordered a group of French troops to rush forward, ready to engage the Germans.
……
Inside the tunnel.
The underground tunnels built by the Germans were complex, and the terrain was even more complex and varied as the last center of resistance.
There were many forks in the tunnel, maybe it led to a dead end, maybe it connected to a hall, and if it weren't for Qin Zhiyuan's caution, they would have stepped into a carefully set minefield unprepared.
Qin Zhiyuan only picked a dozen people to enter the tunnel, all of whom were familiar companions on weekdays, and the rest stayed at the mouth of the tunnel to defend in situ to prevent the missing German soldiers from slipping out and making trouble.
After destroying three resisting Germans in a row, Qin Zhiyuan and the others came to a cave that resembled a command center.
Here, Qin Zhiyuan and they encountered strong resistance from the German army. The Germans hid around the corner, in the gap of the ammunition box, and launched an attack on Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan and they had to advance step by step.
In the center of the hall, Qin Zhiyuan and the Germans had a white-edged battle, and for a group of people with martial arts background, the white-edged battle was more handy.
After a hard battle, Qin Zhiyuan and the others completely annihilated the German army, and on their own side, basically everyone was wounded.
Fortunately, no one died.
After the last German soldier who resisted was stabbed by everyone, Qin Zhiyuan arranged for someone to send the seriously wounded back to find a doctor for help, so that he had time to look at the surrounding environment.
It is not appropriate to say that the cave is more appropriate, but it is more appropriate to say that it is the hall.
This hall is quite spacious, about four meters high, fifty or sixty square meters, and the Germans can dig such a large space under the ground, and the Germans can be considered awesome.
On the wall on one side of the hall hung a half-torn battle map, and on the long table next to it there were still unburned paper documents, stretchers on the ground, and the bodies of several Germans who were seriously injured and died too late to clean up, which shows how hurriedly the Germans left.
There were all kinds of ammunition boxes piled up everywhere in the hall, most of them were empty, and the few that hadn't had time to open were bullet boxes, Qin Zhiyuan probably rummaged through it, found a box of Mauser pistol bullets, and then beckoned everyone to start replenishing.
"Master Qin, there's gold behind that door." Hu Tingfeng grabbed a handful of bullets and put them in his pocket at random, and then pulled Qin Zhiyuan to whisper.
There are many iron doors around the hall, and it seems that they are rooms with different functions.
The door that Hu Tingfeng pointed to was the one that was relatively close to the inside, the iron door was closed, and there was a big lock on it, which looked quite strong.
"How do you know?" Qin Zhiyuan was very curious, everyone entered the hall almost at the same time, and no one else saw it, how could he just listen to the wind and predict the prophet?
"Hehe, Qin Ye, the smell of gold, no matter how deep it is buried, I can smell it, not to mention this small iron door, even if it is equipped with ten iron gates, it can't stop the smell of copper." Hu Tingfeng was very proud, and he didn't know where to get a small piece of wire, pouting his ass and fiddling with the big lock.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't stop it, since Hu Tingfeng dared to go up and unlock the lock, it meant that there was no one behind the door.
After a few efforts, Hu Tingfeng folded the wire into a weird angle, then stuffed it into the lock, grabbed the big lock and beat it hard, and the door lock popped open with a "ding".
"Lean ......" just opened the door, and all the praise turned into a sigh.
Although Qin Zhiyuan had been prepared, he was still dazzled by the various gold artifacts piled up in front of him.
The gold coins are all sacks and sacks, the gold bricks are stacked up from the ground one by one, and the yards are more than one person high, as for the rest of the gold plates, gold bowls, gold candle stands, gold crosses, gold Buddha statues or something, they are all piled up, Qin Zhiyuan even found a small pile of gold dentures, a few of which are fresh at a glance, and there are stains of blood on them.
"Brother, can we take it?" Chen Kangjian squeezed behind Qin Zhiyuan and muttered to himself, needless to say, each person will carry two gold bricks back, and the rest of his life will be guaranteed.
What's so polite? Qin Zhiyuan casually picked up a gold brick and stuffed it into his backpack: "You are stupid, if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it." ”
So what are you waiting for? Everyone quickly threw away the loot they had just packed up like rags, vacated everything in their backpacks, and then desperately stuffed all kinds of gold bricks, gold coins, and gold ornaments into it......
The gold thing is still very weighty, just loaded with three or four gold bricks, grabbed two gold ornaments, two gems, Qin Zhiyuan didn't feel counted, and then poured out all the gold bricks and gold ornaments, only gems and diamonds.
"Bang la la" loaded half a backpack, Qin Zhiyuan felt almost, and then began to order: "Be careful, try to find something to wrap up, don't make a chaotic sound of 'Ding Lang clang' as soon as you move around, we won't be able to leave anything when we are discovered." ”
After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he came to the hall with his backpack, picked up a broken blanket from the ground, then poured the gem upside down and wrapped it carefully, stuffed it into the backpack, picked it up and shook it twice, made sure that there was no sound, and then carried it on his body with satisfaction.
"Yuan, we won't have an accident like this, right?" Qin Zhisheng said that he was worried, and he didn't take anything less under his hand, which was only a lot more than Qin Zhiyuan.
"What's wrong? Maybe there are still French people who snatch it from our country, and we just get some interest back in advance. Besides, this is German territory, we killed the Germans, this is our spoils of war, why can't we take it? "In his bones, Qin Zhiyuan is also an angry youth, as long as he has the opportunity, Qin Zhiyuan is not a saint.
In other words, a saint can't be an agent.
