After the artillery fire stopped, the German soldiers once again rushed over the mountains like ants, and Mu Yang led the soldiers to climb back to the trench and start a new round of fighting.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the resistance of the second line of defense of the coalition forces is very tenacious, our artillery bombardment is obviously not as effective as the first line of defense, the first round of positional warfare has failed, and a second round of offensive is underway." In the German headquarters, the staff officers were reporting on the latest battle situation.

"This situation is normal, after all, behind them is Paris, if the second line of defense fails, then we will also win this battle, order the front line, step up the attack, move the artillery forward, at any cost, take the position as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Company commander, there are too many Germans coming up this time, and we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand it." Claire ran to Muyang's side again and said.

"We have no choice, let's keep fighting, fortunately we are on the defensive side." Muyang also replied helplessly.

Continuing to snipe from a distance, the process of machine gun strafing, Mu Yang felt that he was no longer himself, his soul had been hiding, and everything he did now was an instinct, an instinct to survive.

The Germans were advancing, the artillery was moving in the footsteps of the infantry, the pressure on the second-line positions was increasing sharply, and the Germans were desperate to see how long the British could hold out.

Suddenly, in the rear of the second line of defense, there was an earth-shattering sound of cannonballs, and the British soldiers were stunned for a moment, then showed ecstasy, and looked up at the shells flying overhead, cheering loudly.

The artillery finally began to exert its strength.

In fact, long before the German army launched the attack, both the coalition forces and the German army had already realized that this day would eventually come, and they had already set up their positions. You have to have a good fight.

The coalition forces were behind the positions and set up a large number of artillery. But the coalition forces did not come out at the first time, but waited for the best time.

The first line of defense was breached. The Allied artillery units did not move, the second line of defense was attacked, and it still did not move, and when the German artillery moved forward and the soldiers gathered in large numbers, the Allied artillery units began to exert force.

Mu Yang complained in his heart, the commander of the French coalition was really true, and he sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in order to play a small trick. It was only when the Germans entered the circle of attack that they began to exert their strength, which was really inappropriate for the lives of the soldiers.

He was now weak, lying directly on his back on the mound, his eyes looking straight at the sky, watching the patches of shells whizzing over his head and falling on the German position, and the Germans were really miserable. They didn't have a defensive battlefield, it was an open field, there was no place to hide, and they had fallen into the trap of the coalition forces. The end is already doomed.

Mu Yang only saw that in the open area in the distance, the Germans were running around like flies, and artillery shells rained down on the position. The bombed German soldiers were full of flesh and blood.

This is war, real war. Humans are the most cruel animals in the world, inventing powerful weapons. but to use it on one's own kind.

"Claire, let's take a look around the trenches and find out the casualties of the troops."

Now that the Germans have no time to attack, Muyang seized the time to count the number of troops and check the situation of the troops.

"Okay company commander."

According to statistics, Muyang's army originally had 124 soldiers and 28 laborers. So far, Muyang's company has suffered a total of 34 casualties, including 27 soldiers and 7 laborers, including a Chinese worker.

"Thirty-four people died." Mu Yang said in a low voice.

"We also have 97 soldiers, 21 laborers. Company commander, our casualties in this battle are already very low. Claire said.

"Yes, we killed more Germans, all right, let's go back, the battle is not over yet."

Yes, the battle is not over yet, and the Germans will never admit defeat, because they are already like gamblers who have lost everything, they can no longer afford to lose, and if they lose this time, they will most likely not have a chance to turn over, so the battle continues.

"Let the artillery fire poison gas bombs, organize the soldiers to attack again, we must break through the second line of defense of the Anglo-French army." The German commander gave the order to drop the gas bomb.

The Germans were ready to start using gas bombs, but this time, the Coalition responded more than the Germans expected, so they opened fire before they could fire the gas bombs.

Through the telescope, Mu Yang saw from a distance that the enemy's position was covered with yellow smoke, and he muttered to himself in confusion, "Did our artillery fire poison gas bombs?" ”

"No, I feel like the shells fired just now are ordinary shells, and gas bombs don't explode." Claire next to her answered.

Both of them were suspicious of the situation over there, and suddenly, Mu Yang said: "It's not good, the wind is in our direction, let the soldiers all wear gas masks." "The yellow smoke in the distance has already shown signs of blowing along the ground towards the position.

Claire hurriedly ran to greet all the soldiers, put on Mu Yangfa's gas mask, and continued to lie on the edge of the trench with guns one by one, watching the situation of the German army in the distance.

After all, the distance is a little far, about three or four kilometers, even if the poisonous gas floats over, it has already dissipated in the air, the concentration is not large, if it is direct breathing, it may produce some discomfort, but it should not hurt people, Muyang They are wearing masks, and there is nothing to do.

Later, because of the threat of Allied artillery fire, the Germans did not succeed in their artillery, and the German soldiers attacked twice, but they were all repulsed by the second line of defense.

The fighting continued until the evening, when the two sides stopped.

Mu Yang supported his tired body and returned to his office, fortunately, this office is still there, but the fortifications next to it have been blown down, and the soldiers don't even have a place to sleep now.

Not at all interested in the food that Ford brought, he let him put his things down and waved him out, he had no other thoughts now, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep and regain his strength and energy.

Muyang leaned on the chair and closed his eyes, but his consciousness traveled back to the modern home, Muyang, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, adjusted to it for a few seconds, felt that his brain was clear, and then closed his eyes, let's sleep, make up for the spirit first.

In his sleep, Mu Yang felt that there were always many pictures flashing in his mind, the fire of the machine gun, the soldiers who were shot by the Germans, the soldiers who died tragically, the Chinese workers who were killed, and the soldiers who were shot in the head by his side and didn't know their names.

The battlefield filled with gunsmoke, the flying bullets, the whistling shells, the dirt that was blown up and splashed, the firelight, the smoke, the shouts of killing, and the screams were intertwined.

Mu Yang woke up suddenly, touched his forehead, which was already sweating, and exhaled deeply.

Then he closed his eyes again, and his consciousness traveled back to the time and space of the European war. (To be continued......)
