"Daisy!"

As Daisy opens Gastens' door with the hardwood box on her back, her father, William Richardson, stops her.

"Dad, time is tight on the front line right now, and I can't tell you too much. What's the matter with you? ”

Although it was some distance from the Luoshan crossing, Daisy always felt that the guns and the roars and moans of the soldiers still echoed in her ears. She tensed her face and frowned, even to her father, without showing any relaxed look.

"I know, I'll just say a few words to you", William guessed from his daughter's face that the situation on the front line was not going well. He decided not to ask questions about the situation of the battle, but to give himself a point that had just come to mind.

"Daisy, is the front line still fighting? When it rains, is the enemy still attacking? ”

"Well, they're attacking hard, and I have to go back quickly."

Daisy subconsciously stroked the wooden box on her back with her hand, and there was obvious anxiety in her tone. Gurakos glanced at the wooden box, unable to imagine what was inside. What is it that can make Daisy put down the battlefield and rush back from the front line, and what role can it play in this war?

"If you are still fighting, the enemy's weapons will be affected", William knew that his daughter was really anxious, "The Welsh II steam rifle they use, I have studied." The secondary gas cylinder on the gun is not well insulated in order to reduce weight. Now it's raining heavily, and the rain will accelerate the condensation of the high-pressure water vapor in the secondary cylinders, reducing the pressure on their chambers—"

"Dad, you know I don't understand", Daisy had a look on William's face that was very familiar to William and didn't want to listen to the class as a child, "what will happen to their rifles, can't they be used?" ”

"The range will go down, and the power will go down. If the rain is still so heavy, then if it continues to fight, their steam rifles may even fail directly. And our Glory rifle has been designed with a good double layer of heat insulation, which is not very affected by this kind of weather. So, if we have to go to war in the rain, we have an advantage. ”

"Really?!"

The tense expression on Daisy's face finally eased slightly. Today's battle is still the first time she has heard good news. She took her father's hand in disbelief and confirmed it again.

"Dad, are you telling the truth? Will the enemy's weapons be affected or even rendered useless on a rainy day? ”

"Well, what does your dad do? You don't know yet", William took Daisy's hand and shook it hard, "Daughter, I don't know what's going on on the front. But you must remember that you are not fighting alone, behind you, all of us are your back, your most solid backing. ”

"I know, Dad."

Daisy smiled lightly and stretched out her hand to call the guards, "Let's go, the front line is still waiting for me to go back-", her steps seemed to be brisk, she took two steps, and then turned back and said, "Dad, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"Don't worry!"

William waved his hand and watched as Daisy disappeared from his sight. It was only then that Gurakos, who was standing on the sidelines, found an opportunity to speak.

"I don't know what's going on on the front line, I don't feel good."

"No problem", William was actually worried in his heart. Only Daisy, who is most familiar with him, can see from Daisy's expression and movements just now that the situation on the front line is not ordinarily bad. It's just that he doesn't feel the need to spread this kind of negative news around.

"It must be fine."

William repeated, wanting to strengthen his confidence. Gurakos stared at him for a few seconds before turning away.

"I'm going to work."

——————————————

Jon Warren, the company commander of the 3rd Regiment and 1st Company of the 2nd Militia Division, wiped the rain from his face with his hands and cursed loudly. But in such a heavy rain, even Halder Warren, who was standing next to him, could not hear what he was talking about.

"Company commander!" , almost at the top of his throat, Halder shouted, "They say the chairman is dead!" ”

"Fuck shit!"

Jon didn't even think about it, so he scolded back, "The stupid guy on the other side is shitting, do you believe it?" In order to win against us, they talk nonsense and fart, if you believe it, are you embarrassed to join the party? ”

Halfe has recently been actively applying to join the party, and Jon Warren is his scout. His words immediately stabilized Haldex's military morale. The young man reached out to wipe the rain from his face, leveled his rifle again, stepped forward, and lay down on the dirt slope built in front of the trench.

Beside him, the soldiers were ready to shoot one by one, in odd and even order.

Not far behind them, the sound of drums of gunfire was heard. The sound of the drum was dull in the rain, but the message it could carry was still clear.

The Glory Rifle and the Elliot Rifle fired in unison in the rain. Lead bullets flew out of the chamber of the gun through the rain curtain and hit the ranks of enemies on the opposite side, causing a burst of screams and groans.

At this point in the battle, the armored soldiers in the front row of the enemy were almost dead. The pikemen in the back were directly exposed to Elena's fire. Every salvo fired from the trench takes the lives of quite a few people. But the enemy did not back down, and the high rewards and the overseers behind them made these soldiers have to squander their lives in front of the trench and machine guns. They screamed and groaned, then lined up, shot, and with their weapons, they continued to attack.

"Listen to me, Lord Daisy, that President Gastens is all right, that he has killed and wounded a large number of enemies, and is rushing back. What the enemy says is a lie, don't believe it!! ”

In the trenches, where the water was already knee-deep, orders from the conning tower were being given at a rapid pace. The soldiers who had been a little nervous were temporarily calmed, and some loose defenses were temporarily stabilized. However, this heavy rain is exposing a fatal shortcoming in trench tactics.

Inadequate drainage.

"Call me! Hit me hard! ”

Jon Warren led his soldiers in another round of shooting. He stepped back from the ladder that supported him, only to find that the water in the trench was knee-deep. Countless soldiers stirred in the muddy water, and gradually stirred the muddy water into mud. Some of the materials that had been placed on the floor of the trench had already floated up in the water and could have been bumped into if they were not careful.

"This fucking ......"

Although he attended Elena's night school, Jon Warren's literacy level was actually limited. He could intuitively guess that something would go wrong if this situation continued, but he couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while, so he just cursed and focused on the battle again. Although the enemy is constantly suffering casualties, the enemy's machine gun points are also constantly being destroyed by the enemy. Now the machine guns that are still firing at the front line are less than half of what they were three days ago. And every time the enemy advanced, he approached the trench they were defending.

Heavy rain continues.

And those who did not want to die, launched a charge in the rain.

Perhaps thinking that the two sides were approaching at a suitable distance, or perhaps feeling that the weapons in their hands were not so easy in the rain, the enemy commander once again sounded the empty whistle of the charge. The enemy soldiers laid down their weapons, raised their cutlass and began to charge towards the trench where Jon Warren was.

"Shoot! Shoot! Steady, don't panic! ”

Jon Warren is still in command, and the surviving soldiers are still shooting. As for the machine gun points that can still be used, they are even more desperately tilting the bullets forward. In a large fan-shaped area centered on these machine-gun points, corpses were pushed like mountains. But in front of those dumb machine gun points, some of the enemy had already made direct contact with their own soldiers.

After three consecutive days of fixed-point strikes on machine-gun fire points, there were many gaps in the firepower coverage of the machine-gun defense line at the Luoshan crossing. And the enemy, relying on these gaps, is tearing through Elena's defenses.

Jon Warren was lucky that in front of him, the machine gun point that belonged to them was replenished with new machine guns and personnel after it was destroyed yesterday. Therefore, the enemy who charged at their area did not take much advantage. Behind him, quite a few soldiers had already begun to support the enemy's breakthrough on the left and right. The distant shouts of killing also seem to be getting louder and louder.

"Company commander! Can we win?! ”

Halder was almost lying on Jon Warren's face and yelling. Hearing his question, Jon Warren subconsciously slapped his mouth. The loud slap not only blinded Haldex, but also attracted the attention of several soldiers around him.

"Company commander?!"

"Shut the fuck up!" , Jon Warren didn't know why he was suddenly so irritable, "Give Lao Tzu a good fight!" ”

Halfe looked at his company commander with some grievances, but he also knew that he probably asked the wrong question. He wiped his face and began to reload without saying a word. And in front of him, the charging enemies slowed down in front of the machine guns, and even stopped for a moment. Soon, however, the Warlords behind them shouted and threatened to send them back into the battlefield and under the guns of the machine guns.

And at this time, the sound of machine guns, stopped.

"There is no air pressure, you !!!! be careful"

The soldier in charge of the machine-gun point turned around and shouted, and Jon Warren cursed, scooping his long knife out of the mud. The soldiers around him, like him, took up their respective weapons. Now that the battle has been fought like this, it's time to fight hard.

————————————

By the time Daisy returned to the tower, there were more than half of the people on it. Caleb Warren was not there, and Garence Warren, who stayed behind, saw Daisy and greeted him directly.

"The rain was so heavy that the trenches were heavily waterlogged. Our machine-gun fire network was incomplete, and the enemy had broken through the area defended by several dumb fire points in the trenches. Now the soldiers are fighting the enemy, but we are seriously understaffed, and if we continue to fight like this, there will be problems! ”

"Where's Big Brother Calaiber?" Daisy walked over to the podium, put down the wooden box, picked up the binoculars and looked at the other side. The figures of the enemy commanders she had become familiar with had become hazy in the rain.

"He's gone down to war, and says it's uncomfortable to look at it," Garence said as he walked up to her and glanced at the wooden box, "What is this?" You went back to get this? ”

"Well, it's our secret weapon," Daisy said with a smile as she looked sideways at Garence. The rain-soaked hair stuck tightly to her face, outlining an irregular pattern. But even so, Daisy's smile still had some natural but stubborn beauty, which made Gallence a little stunned. He reacted and watched as Daisy opened the wooden box and began to assemble it.

"I'm staring here, if you can't stay still, go down."

Daisy lowered her head to assemble it and didn't look back. Although she hadn't touched the gun for nearly a year, the scene where she first handed the gun to Gastens was still vivid when her hands touched the parts again.

The sunlight, the huge, flat desk in the library, the man with a slight smile.

And there was a lot of peace and quiet.

"Then I'll go down," Garence Warren nodded, and seeing that Daisy was busy, he went down the ladder. His second militia division is also a little unstable now, and he needs to go to the town to supervise the battle. Although the false news transmitted by the enemy has been refuted, most of the soldiers have some doubts in their hearts. At this critical moment, although he was a little curious about the weapon that Daisy had never seen before, he was also curious about how a gun could stop the opponent's attack. But Garence knew he couldn't wait, his soldiers needed him. And Daisy can definitely do her own thing well.

"Take care of her."

After a brief admonition to guard Anrog Warren, Garence left the podium. Daisy took a moment to assemble the rifle and began to activate the pyroxene to pressurize the vapor cylinders. She remembered what her father had said about the heat shield of the cylinder, and took off her coat and wrapped it around the cylinder of her sniper rifle. Then, as she had done ten months earlier, she raised her rifle up, leveled it, and put her right eye behind the scope.

The whole world began to become clear in front of her.

"Commander, God is helping us this time!"

On the front line of the Neglo Republic, the commander of the 20th Army, Bainer Frank, who was in charge of the offensive, was excitedly reporting to Taijia Bush, "The heavy rain has filled the enemy's trenches with water, which has greatly affected their combat effectiveness. Our steam artillery continued to destroy many of their machine gun points, so that their machine gun fire could not cover all of the line. Your order to charge has caused our soldiers to tear through the enemy's lines, and despite heavy casualties, we are breaking through the enemy's lines! ”

Tai Bush did not immediately reply, and the rain hit the canopy above his head with a rattling sound. His gaze swept over the staff officers and generals gathered around him, observing their expressions and sighing softly.

"It's just that there are too many casualties, and if we win this time, it will be the soldiers who fought for their lives, and it's really not worth our pride."

"That's that," Bainer Frank nodded repeatedly, "Commander, now that we have the upper hand, do we want to continue to invest?" Although our 20th Army has some losses, it is also confident that it will take the enemy's Luoshan Pass! ”

"Yes, you don't have to keep the reserves, I'll keep them for you", Taijia Bush was very calm, as if he had expected today's victory, "When I take Elena, I will give you a holiday!" ”

"Thank you, Commander, but we're still thinking about fighting until Roswell rests", the joy on Byner Frank's face was heartfelt, Elena was small, but her significance was clear to everyone. can get the first merit of breaking through the Luoshan Pass, and his rank of lieutenant general will definitely not be able to run.

"However, the commander was thoughtful and released the news that Gastens was dead, and the enemy's front was immediately disorganized. If it weren't for the rain being too heavy to make it inconvenient, we could have thrown the heads of Bellanchir over and made sure they set up camp! ”

Now that he was close to winning, Byner Frank began to focus more on currying favor with the Tayi family, after all, whether it was military merit evaluation or rank promotion, he was indispensable for the help of the commander. However, when the Tayi family heard his words, they were not happy, but coughed violently. Bainer Frank looked up in surprise, only to find that the Commander was holding his right chest with his hand, and a large amount of blood was gushing from under his palm, wetting his chest.

"Ahem—"

The Tayyi's began to cough violently, his lungs were destroyed and he couldn't breathe well, and the wound in his chest was taking the heat out of his body. He weakly reached out his other hand and grabbed Bainer Frank's hand.

"Help—save me—"
