Under the command of Zhou Yu, more than 1,000 Anzac regiments and 400 Chinese laborers rushed into the village.

Some of the Germans, who had been awakened from their sleep, could not figure out what was happening and could only surrender on their knees with their hands raised in the air.

And those who try to fight back will always be instantly killed by attacks from all directions, without giving these enemies a chance to breathe.

Soon, the Anzac plus Task Force C13 had taken over the small village in the forest.

Williams excitedly paced back and forth in the square, looking at the German prisoners kneeling in front of him, who could have hundreds of people, and his eyes flashed with fanaticism.

"It worked, it worked! How do we record? ”

The tall and thin officer of the Anzac gave a military salute and replied loudly: "Report to the sir!" In this battle we killed 326 enemies, captured 154 people, the rest were either wounded or have fled, our men have guarded all the entrances and exits around the village, if the enemy returns, they will be the first to find out! ”

"Good, huh...... It was a perfect raid and everyone did a good job! Gather these enemy troops in the cowshed, confiscate all their weapons, tie their hands and feet, and escort them to the rear of the meeting after dawn! ”

"It's sir!"

After confirming his exploits, Williams was rewarded for his losses.

In this night attack, 16 Anzac men were killed and 72 were wounded to varying degrees.

And the hundred scouts who came with him on the mission were unscathed, it seems that these people are veterans of the battlefield, and they know that they will never stand in the first row when charging.

However, the reason why their night attack tonight was so smooth was also related to the rigidity of the previous battlefield tactics.

Unlike World War II, World War I had many tactics and battles that could be compared to art, and they were purely a continuation of the deadly way of medieval aristocratic duels.

Usually the armies on both sides would form a neat phalanx and charge each other under the command of their generals.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, this is somewhat like playing a turn-based game, and he doesn't know how to be flexible at all.

They even fought during the day, and at night they went back to their camps to sleep, without interfering with each other.

Although night raids do occur occasionally, they are all in a small-scale similar form of reconnaissance, not to mention large-scale night raids, lure, ambush and other tactics.

Zhou Yu's labor team also quickly made an inventory, although they followed behind the soldiers, there were still three laborers who lost their lives in the melee, and more than a dozen others were slightly injured.

Zhou Yu asked the bodies of the three brothers to be cremated directly, and some of their ashes were brought back.

However, this night attack not only allowed them to successfully complete the task pressed down above, but also obtained a rich supply of armaments.

The Germans set up a battalion of wounded soldiers here, and also stationed a company that was not yet fully formed.

And the presence of wounded barracks means that there are enough medicines here, and of course these medicines are now in their possession.

"Lieutenant Williams, in order not to be attacked by the enemy in the same way, I suggest that a sentry point be set up on the high ground on the outskirts of the village, which is where we hide before the attack, so that we can detect the enemy's movements earlier and prepare in advance."

Williams nodded, and very readily agreed to Zhou Yu's suggestion, sending four sentries to be stationed on the commanding heights around the village.

Tonight must have been a sleepless night, and after taking the village, they searched every room to see if there were any German troops who had slipped through the net.

The villagers with frightened looks on their faces were rushed to the square to ask one by one, but the task of this inquiry also fell on Zhou Yu's head.

No way, he was the only one who spoke French.

"You see, Mr. Zhou will also speak other foreigners! Tut-tut~~~ I used to think that he was the material for the prime minister, but now I think he can be the emperor if he is placed in ancient times! A few of us can also be a founding minister~~"

Liu Banxian hid in the shadows under the eaves, and looked at Zhou Yu who asked the villagers, as if he was honored.

Mu Dezhu happily leaned over and said, "I want to be a general!" In the past, when I listened to the play, I envied the generals the most, such as Zhao Zilong, who entered and exited seven times, and Guan Yunchang, who passed five levels and killed six generals! Duowei Feng~~~"

"If you want to be a general, then I will be a scholar~! Tang Taizong also has to have the eldest grandson Wuji by his side~! Lu Xiucai, you will be Wei Zheng! The head of the martial arts is Qin Qiong, a ghost of Hong...... Yu Chi Gong! The two of you are the door gods on the New Year's painting, one left and one right to that station, and the little ghosts don't dare to find the door~! ”

Liu Banxian took care of himself and sealed the official positions for everyone, but saw the dog baby come to him and tugged on his sleeve and said: "Fortune teller, fortune teller, what about me, what can I be?" ”

Liu Banxian looked at the dog baby who had fluff on his mouth, and thought for a while: "You can be the little eunuch next to the emperor, Wei Zhongxian who sings in the play, or Li Lianying next to the Empress Dowager Cixi in the previous dynasty, hahaha~~ That is the most suitable for you!" ”

"What, I...... I don't want to be a eunuch! I still have to keep my body to pass on the lineage, I am not a eunuch! ”

The dog's face turned red, his hands waved quickly, and his appearance also caused everyone around him to laugh.

Zhou Yu quickly finished questioning the local villagers and let them go.

When he returned to his companions, he saw that they were laughing at the dog baby, and the latter was pulling Liu Banxian's sleeve and refusing to let him choose a new career for him.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about, so lively? Zhou Yu asked.

Lu Xiucai said with a smile: "The fortune teller said that Brother Zhou was definitely a candidate to be the emperor in ancient times, and he also assigned us official positions one by one. He is the eldest grandson Wuji, I am Wei Zheng, Hong Agui and Wu Xiaolong They are Qin Qiong Jingde, Mu Dezhu said that he wanted to be a general Zhao Zilong, Guan Yunchang or something, and the dog baby also wanted an official position, but who knew that he was given an official position as a eunuch, so that's it. ”

Finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter, Zhou Yu smiled and put his hand on the dog's head and rubbed it: "Don't underestimate the eunuchs, how majestic is Ma Sanbao beside Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty?" He was also a eunuch. ”

"Mr. Zhou! You laugh at me with them...... I don't want to be a eunuch! ”

"They are deliberately teasing you, and there will be no Yellow Emperor in the future, let alone eunuchs. Okay, let the brothers all live in the wounded barracks on the side before, gather the wounded, and help everyone who can help, after all, they are all their own people, and after doing this, some people will be on duty and the others will sleep. ”

A group of people walked into the wounded barracks and helped the wounded to treat their wounds, and a ray of morning light was already shooting in the distant sky.

It's dawn.

Zhou Yu, who had almost only slept for about two hours, was woken up, and Williams stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes and said hurriedly: "Bruce, come with me!" We found some footprints by the river, and it seems that a small force of the enemy came back last night to scout and bypass our sentinels! ”

Zhou Yu instantly sobered up and got out of bed, and followed Williams to a relatively humid river beach on the side of the village.

There is a jumble of footprints that seem to extend from the nearby river.

Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a while, "The enemy should have sneaked in along the waterway, just avoiding our sentry...... We can make some improvised traps and have your people find some fishing nets in the village and cut down some trees. ”

Williams paused for a moment, wanting to say something, but he quickly gave up that idea, and turned around as Zhou Yu said and instructed the soldiers to do the same immediately.

According to some of the contents he had read in the book before, Zhou Yu used fishing nets to seal the relatively narrow river, and laid some traps on the road from the river bank to the vicinity of the village.

These traps were not intended to kill the enemy, but mainly to serve as a warning, so he also used some gunpowder.

It was already dawn after doing this, and the head of the small village came to me with a few villagers.

Since Zhou Yu is the only one here who can speak French, he can only come forward to receive him.

"Old man, is there anything wrong with you?"

Looking at the village chief in front of him, whose face was sallow, and his beard and eyebrows were silver, Zhou Yu tried his best to make his voice appear low and kind.

"Sir, thank you for driving away the Germans, these villagers in our village discussed it and boiled a big pot of oatmeal, I hope you don't dislike it."

When Zhou Yu heard that this was the case, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face.

"Thank you, old man, this is exactly what we need most. Well...... In this way, after all, food is also very precious to you in this bad time, and although we have no money on us, we have a lot of clothes to distribute to the villagers, so that this winter will be easier. ”

"Thank you, thank you, sir, that's exactly what we need most!"

Zhou Yu took it upon himself to distribute some of the captured German overcoats to the villagers in exchange for their friendliness and food.

Although the oatmeal is not enough to fill the stomachs of more than 1,000 people, it is much better than drinking cold water.

During the day, the laborers were building fortifications and reinforcing the wounded barracks and warehouses according to their previous plan, and the sound of artillery fire in the distance also reached their ears, and it seemed that fierce fighting had once again broken out in the previous position.

"Damn, why are all those shells getting closer and closer to us?"

Williams listened for a moment, cursing under his breath.

Zhou Yu walked over and said with a pale face: "It seems that the German army has counterattacked." ”
