Chapter 21: The Trenches

We hunched over the passage and into the trenches.

I noticed a row of chimney-like things sticking out of the dirt in front of me, and on closer inspection, I realized that it was the barrel of our cannon.

These front-line soldiers had almost buried their guns in the earth, and if they were a little farther away, they would not have seen that it was a hidden artillery position.

In front of us was a slightly wider position, and there was an old soldier waiting for us, who would be our guide, and when he saw us hunched over, he said that we would be killed by the bombing, and that we should go like him.

Then he walked forward on all fours like a dog, and this position allowed him to lie down faster. I sarcastically thought that war had degraded humanity.

But we still learned his ugly posture, the supplies were all on our backs, and rows of small holes were dug in the trenches in front of us, and our soldiers were huddled in them.

At this time, there was a sudden continuous sound.

"Laser cannon!" Bird screamed behind me and sprang to the ground.

The veteran who led the way did not move, and said with a spoofed smile on his face: "Welcome to the real front line."

It was as if we were walking into a labyrinth, and the trenches here were deep and leading in all directions. With the increasing power of artillery, only the earth can become a cover in modern warfare, and land warfare has developed to this day, and it has actually regressed to trench warfare.

After turning a corner, the old soldier said, "Your destination is further ahead, and the banks of the river here protrude into the river to form a peninsula, and you are to send supplies there." Be very careful now, we're all within range of the Roshas, and they're going to have to cover this side every now and then. ”

Now even Feng Qiu was nervous, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Thank you, brother, let's hurry up." ”

I tightened the straps on my body and set off after Roy in front of me. No sooner had we taken a step than a rush of fire rang out from the trench, accompanied by an explosion.

The veteran turned his head and said, "Don't worry, listen to the sound, that's our laser cannon, it's covering us." He still had that welcome to hell look on his face.

I'm finally getting to know what the front line is, where there's fighting all the time, where explosions can be heard all the time, and when we used to shoot a shot for days.

The laser cannon above was still firing on the other side of the river, and we heard another sound, and apparently the Rosha people on the opposite side also began to fire back.

Roy in front of me was running fast, and I struggled to keep up with him. At this moment a series of explosions rang out, and the whole trench felt like an earthquake, and we all fell to the ground, and the veteran explained again: "This is a damn Rosha missile." ”

Compared to our more lethal and more advanced electromagnetic concentrating guns, the Rosa people still prefer relatively primitive missiles, and their warheads are many kinds of different uses.

As we were about to get up and move on, a heaven-shattering explosion blew across the river, shaking the entire embankment with a shock wave, and the trench we were in collapsed by a small half, and even the river was lifted up and rushed into the trench.

"Hahaha. That's our electromagnetic shaped cannon! Brothers, look at us, we are much more powerful than theirs! The veteran explained excitedly.

Our electromagnetic concentrator guns fell silent immediately after only two shots, and they couldn't expose too much. Otherwise, if the Roga people are located, there will be hundreds of missiles flying towards this side.

The veteran who led the way said, "We must hurry through here, if the Rosa attack now, they will be the first to die if they stay here." ”

We continued to rush in the trenches towards the peninsula, and perhaps we really caught up with the attack of the Roshas, and now the guns on both sides were getting more and more intense, and there were explosions everywhere, and we were only here as soon as we came out, and these things were happening all the time on the line of the Gamba River, which was close to a thousand kilometers.

Further on, we came across three Scouts who were using micro-drones to detect enemy movements, and I was a little envious of their way of fighting, it felt like they were playing a flight simulation game.

The artillery fire on the opposite side became more and more intense, and our leader climbed to the top of the trench, picked up the telescope and looked at it a few times, then turned to us and said: "Maybe the Rosa people are really attacking, I can't show you the way, I want to go back to my combat position."

We all panicked, and in just a few minutes we had become dependent on this brave veteran.

He said, "Just follow this road, but you can't help you in the past, and you may die there." So I suggest you have lunch here first. ”

Then he ran back on all fours. In vain, we were left in astonishment!

What did he just say? Have lunch?

The shells were constantly exploding a few hundred meters away from us, and there were constant beams of energy on the top of the trench above, and he even called us for lunch......

Maybe this is the real front line.

We were all stunned, only Roy took out the nutritional paste and energy bar, and looked at us suspiciously: "Why, don't you eat it......"

None of our captains had lunch under the roar of the artillery, and we all took out dry food and began to gnaw on it, in fact, everyone was not in favor of eating here, but the old soldier had a point, we would only cause trouble for them if we went to the peninsula now.

But we were clearly more concerned about the battle outside than the food in front of us, and the Rosa must have spotted our artillery position, and now they were bombarding the area indiscriminately.

Roy was just about to say that we should eat with peace of mind and that this place would not be bombed, when a sharp whistling came through, and for a moment all of us were lifted by the wave of air, and then fell heavily to the ground, and in the dust, I felt buried alive.

Luckily, our combat suits and helmets are fully enclosed and highly protected. Everyone slowly climbed out of the soil with difficulty.

"Are you still alive?" Feng Qiu shouted eagerly.

There was a sound confirming that he was still alive, and we counted and found that one was missing.

Our team's Limbark died in the explosion just now.

Feng Qiu didn't have time to bury this comrade-in-arms who was with us at the Mars base, and he continued to shout: "Everyone, let's go!" Fast! The Rosa people have already discovered our artillery positions! ”

We were in exactly the same posture as the old soldier this time, moving quickly in the trenches on all fours, and even wishing to burrow into the dirt to hide, Feng Qiu led us to the peninsula quickly, the site of the Rosa bombardment was where we came, and now the closer we got to the river, the safer it would be.
