After repelling the German attack, Qin Zhiyuan ordered his troops to begin clearing the tunnels.

The first to bear the brunt of the German and French armies was the corpses of the French, who had been wrapped in white cloth with their names and other identification information written on the outside, and could be transported to the rear for burial.

The Germans are more troublesome.

Qin Zhiyuan called Charles and asked him if he could hand over the Germans' bodies to the Germans for disposal. In this regard, Qin Zhiyuan didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Charles to say that there was a way, and then, he used a wireless telegraph that had just been sent to send a clear code telegram through the public channel, and it didn't take long for the radio station to receive a telegram with the word "agree" written on it.

Now, as the body was removed from the tunnel, four high-power hair dryers began to work, and fresh air was injected into the tunnel, and the environment in the tunnel was suddenly new.

After the Germans stopped shelling, Indian laborers began to send supplies to the positions, and grenades were the top priority. Captain Falcao of Capi squeezed out a company to garrison the position in the case of an extreme shortage of troops, and on the position less than four hundred meters long, David's men, Bastien's men, Qin Zhiyuan's men, and the reinforcements that were increased three times later, although the establishment was relatively chaotic, the total number of people had exceeded seven hundred, and Qin Zhiyuan was finally able to keep a reserve in his hands.

Half an hour later, the bodies of the Germans were all sent to a distance of about 500 meters from the French position, including the bodies left on the outside position, all of which were moved by Indian laborers and waited for the Germans to send someone to receive them. Some of these corpses have decomposed, slippery and untouchable, and they can smell the disgusting smell through the gas mask, Qin Zhiyuan looked at the Indians who were working hard and secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the Chinese workers had become the Chinese army, otherwise these disgusting jobs would have to be done by the Chinese workers.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhiyuan felt that his hands were a little slippery and greasy, and he couldn't help but rub them twice on the wall of the trench.

The Indians also brought a large amount of white ash, and Qin Zhiyuan ordered that all the white ash be sprinkled in the tunnel, on the one hand, for disinfection, and on the other hand, to prevent moisture.

Qin Zhiyuan arranged all the lightly wounded of the French army and the Sixth Regiment into that hall, and the door of the room where the gold was stored was the key part, and the empty ammunition boxes were piled up outside the door, and it seemed that there was nothing else inside. All the tunnels outside the hall were prepared by Qin Zhiyuan to house the British.

The British came from afar, and if they had to guard against the shelling of the Germans during the battle, the British would definitely hide in the underground tunnels, and Qin Zhiyuan had no reason to refuse such a reasonable request. They could only try to capture their own territory and prevent the British from discovering gold.

When everything was completed, Qin Zhiyuan was waiting for reinforcements from the British, or from the Germans.

According to the agreement between Charles and the other side, at three o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for the war to start again, and before that, the Germans had just taken all the corpses and were ready for battle.

At three o'clock sharp, not a second is more, not a second is less, and the Germans began the shelling on time, which fully demonstrated the punctuality and rigor of the Germans.

Except for the observer, everyone else hid in the pit like a rat, waiting for the observer's notification. The observer's observation point, in a fork next to the trench, where there was a trench periscope to keep track of the movements of the German troops.

Solid permanent fortifications were built with cement and logs around the observation point, so you don't have to worry about safety if you don't get directly hit by heavy artillery. The probability of being hit directly by heavy artillery is about the same as the probability of winning a Christmas lottery ticket.

The Germans had a particularly long preparation time for firepower this time, Qin Zhiyuan looked at his watch, and for forty minutes, Qin Zhiyuan estimated that the Germans fired at least five or six thousand shells.

When the artillery fire began to extend to the rear, the observers blew the copper whistles in their hands, and the French and Chinese troops rushed out, racing against time to enter the battlefield and compete with the Germans for time.

The Germans learned their lesson this time, and as soon as the artillery fire was extended, the lined skirmish line launched a charge, and the speed was very fast, no longer moving forward slowly and leisurely, but increasing the speed from the beginning.

"Riflemen, light machine gunners prepare, fire at 500 meters. Grenadier ready, 100 meters throw grenades. "Heavy machine guns need a certain amount of time to prepare, and when the preparations are ready, they can start firing. Qin Zhiyuan couldn't follow the steps, he felt the determination of the Germans to attack this time from the very beginning, and immediately responded.

The distance between the German skirmish lines was very tight, only about seven or eight meters away, Qin Zhiyuan felt that there was an opportunity, and immediately ordered to call for artillery support, and ordered Charles to come to the position to observe the starting position of the German army, and directly carry out fire strikes.

The Germans were very fast, starting from a distance of 1,500 meters and reaching 500 in about four or five minutes, which was already very fast considering that the Germans were carrying equipment and running through the hills.

Just as the Germans had reached 500 meters in the front, light machine guns and rifles from the French positions opened fire, and French shells flew in at the right time, and the guns and cannons intertwined, once again turning the area into a place of death.

The Germans were not afraid of death, and continued to rush forward in the face of the bombardment of shells and the accumulation of bullets, one team after another, one after another.

The heavy machine gun was finally prepared, and when the heavy machine gun began to roar wildly, bursts of cheers rang out from the French position, as if the victory had been decided, and the French army was already invincible.

At this moment, the Germans fired smoke grenades from mortars, and the French positions were suddenly plunged into thick smoke, and the range of heavy machine guns was disturbed, and they could only rely on the guidance of tracer bullets to hit the Germans with experience.

"Grenadier, prepare grenades." Qin Zhiyuan felt that he could already hear the howls of the Germans, and immediately ordered the grenadiers to start throwing grenades.

When the line of sight is obstructed, the area of effect of the grenade is used to kill the force.

"Understood!" Zheng Dali led forty or fifty Chinese soldiers and French soldiers with strong arms, shouted and threw the grenades in their hands together. Since it is a group kill, it is better to throw it together, at least the killing density will be a little larger.

After the first row of grenades was thrown, Qin Zhiyuan clearly heard the screams and angry scolding of the Germans. Very good, since it is useful, Qin Zhiyuan slowed down for four or five seconds, and ordered a grenade salvo again.

In the thick smoke, some of the Germans finally rushed to the position, but unfortunately the number was too small, and before they could stir up any waves, they were stabbed down by Chinese soldiers and French soldiers.

……

By the time the smoke gradually cleared, a layer of corpses had been densely laid in front of the French position, one after the other, endlessly, until the German starting position.

Despite the heavy casualties, the Germans had no intention of stopping, and they continued to advance towards the French positions in a broken line.

"Shelling, shelling!" Charles cried out in horror and sorrow, and the heart-rending whistling of cannonballs could be heard in the air.

"Holy!" Qin Zhiyuan knew that this was bad, the Germans were ready to burn the jade, and actually used artillery strikes when the infantry was still charging.

This is the rhythm of the same end.

The French positions were suddenly plunged into bitter fighting.
