Chapter 17: Trapped Beast Fight

It was as if they had never been so close to death, because this time there was no British fire support, and no Anzac was there to help, they had only themselves, only a pitiful dozens of bayonets and a dozen pistols they had picked up, and all that was left was shovels and stones.

"Calm down dog! Don't you want to be a general? The general will not shout when he breaks his hands and feet on the battlefield, and now I want you to shut up! Use your strengths to run back to our trenches to move the rescuers!

Tell those foreigners that there are not many enemies, and they have been dragged by us, and whoever runs fast will be credited! Remember those words I taught you, and go ahead! ”

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that if he didn't teach the dog baby to say this, the British troops hiding in the rear trenches would never rush to reinforcements as soon as possible.

They would only wait and see, and the lives of their Chinese laborers were worthless in their eyes, but if they could be used to delay the German attack, it might be the greatest use.

"Ah ghost, Xiucai, follow me to this side!"

Zhou Yu glanced at it and saw that Hong Agui was preparing to rush out of the trench with a fierce expression, he hurriedly dragged the latter down, and turned to the rear together with Lu Xiucai, who was fiddling with the pistol in a panic next to him.

However, the 400 laborers were blown into a mess by only one round of enemy shelling, and many of them were frightened and even threw away their shovels and fled with their heads in their hands.

However, as soon as they ran out of the trenches, they would be used as live targets by the Germans not far away, and they would be instantly smashed into a colander.

"Can't go out~~~ No one can go out~~~! Damn it...... Cover yourself up in the dirt~~ Hold your breath and play dead for Lao Tzu! ”

Zhou Yu shouted as he carried the Mu Dezhu who blindly ran in front of him with his feet.

When the big man heard the word "pretend to be dead", he suddenly fell into the trench like a corpse, and let the splashed soil fall on his body without moving, and his acting skills were called realistic.

Soon, the actions of several people finally affected the attention of the workers who were closer to them, and everyone began to dig into the dirt and start playing dead.

A few even smeared some of their dead comrades' blood on their cheeks to add a little credibility to themselves.

Ten meters away, the German soldiers began to fire their guns at the people who were still standing, and the panicked laborers were shot and fell to the ground.

"Get down! Get down on your stomach! ”

Zhou Yu roared as hard as he could, but those laborers who were like frightened birds couldn't think normally in the sound of guns.

Soon, I don't know if everyone noticed the problem and began to prostrate and pretend to be dead, or if all the people standing had been knocked down, and there was silence in the trenches.

The Germans stopped firing and rushed into the first trench at an accelerated pace.

Zhou Yu clenched his fists and silently calculated the distance between the other party and himself in his heart.

Now they have no way to retreat at all, so they can only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, and fight hard when the enemy approaches!

If the dog can really call someone, they still have a chance to live, if they can't call...... How many can be saved?

Soon, more and more German soldiers poured into the trenches, communicating loudly in German, meaning that there were no British soldiers here, all of them laborers.

Zhou Yu heard that a German officer ordered the laborers to be mended, and he knew that he could not put them on anymore.

Just as one of the Germans raised his bayonet and was about to stab Zhou Yu lying on the ground, the latter suddenly exploded, and with a horizontal wave of his right hand, the German soldier opened his eyes full of horror and clutched his throat in disbelief.

Crimson blood flowed out, and the knife in Zhou Yu's hand had already cut his throat.

"Fight with these foreign devils!"

At the same time that Zhou Yu rebelled, Mu Dezhu, Hong Agui, and Lu Xiucai followed one by one and crawled out of the dirt and began to fight the Germans who rushed into the trenches in close combat.

Zhou Yu's ability was fully opened, and all the movements around him became so slow.

He picked up a stone and threw it at the Germans who attacked Liu Banxian from behind, then turned around and brandished a bayonet to cut the throats of the three Germans who surrounded him, and then snatched the pistol from the hand of an enemy and shot all the remaining bullets in the magazine.

The picture suddenly returned to normal, and only the sounds of "bang bang bang" and "puff puff" sounded almost simultaneously.

Several Germans clutched their throats and collapsed to the ground, while others were shot in the head and fell straight to the ground like sacks full of garbage.

There was also the soldier who tried to sneak attack Liu Banxian, who was hit in the forehead by a flying stone, his eyes were dizzy for a while, and he was stabbed into the spleen by Wu Xiaolong, who came later.

"Brothers~~~ Fight with them!"

Seeing Zhou Yu's might, the other uninjured laborers got up from the ground one after another, grabbed everything that could be used as weapons and fought with the Germans.

Zhou Yu glanced behind him, and the original 400-person labor team was still standing less than 200 at the moment.

But to be honest, this was completely unexpected, and it seemed that this part of the people heard his cry and prostrated on the ground in time to pretend to be dead.

"Hell...... What medicine did these laborers take wrong? Why are they so desperate? Shoot! Shoot! ”

A German sergeant struggled to push away the Chinese worker in front of him and shouted behind him.

However, the German machine gunners could not accurately fight the Chinese workers, because the two groups of people had completely disrupted the melee together, and there was a great chance that they would accidentally injure their own people when they fired at this time.

"German warriors~~~ Don't let these yellow-skinned laborers stop us~~~~ You are all the pride of the empire~~ Rush ......"

Before the German sergeant could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a warm liquid left around his neck, and his shouting stopped abruptly.

Zhou Yu threw out the half-cut bayonet in his hand, and hit the guy in the throat, which can be regarded as a crooked hit.

"Lie down and die!"

Zhou Yu, who had already killed the red eye, kicked the German sergeant down, pulled out the bayonet inserted in his throat, snatched the opponent's pistol with the other hand, took a deep breath, and slowed down the movements around him.

He pressed his gun to the heads of two large Germans who were significantly stronger than the laborers, but this time the space around him returned to normal in a matter of seconds, and it was clear that he didn't have the stamina to use it anymore.

"Mr. Zhou, come to our side!"

Zhou Yu, who was out of breath, was jerked and almost fell, and he looked at the dart masters Wu Xiaolong, Hong Ah Ghost and Lu Xiucai.

Several people protected Zhou Yu in the center, forming a small group and having dealings with those German troops.

It seems that the effect of the training some time ago is quite remarkable, and even the potential of human beings in the face of threats to their lives will surprise them.

But Zhou Yu's heart still sank to the bottom, because there were still German troops advancing here in the smoke of gunpowder, if the dog baby couldn't find reinforcements, he could only break the wrist of the strong man, the gecko and the tail, and flee with the people around him.

Just when Zhou Yu judged that the situation in the field was difficult and he couldn't make a choice, he suddenly heard a shout of killing behind him.

He looked back in surprise and saw the dog baby with a snot and tears, holding a wooden stick and spear tied with a bayonet in his hand rushing forward.

Behind him, the Williams guy was rushing in this direction with his scout team and hundreds of other labor brothers.

"Williams.... You still have a little conscience. ”

With Will Williams and his reconnaissance team, although the number is small, with the newly arrived laborers, its impact should not be underestimated.

Soon Williams's actions stimulated the other troops, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie in this battle and accumulate military merits, so they all brought their men and horses to surround this place from different directions.

The "bang-bang-bang" gunfire became more and more intense, and even mortars with whistles bombarded the rear of the German positions, raising clouds of mud.

"Bruce! How are you? ”

Williams rushed to Zhou Yu's side and asked, and when he saw that the latter was fine, he stuffed a pistol in his arms.

"I know you'll use it, even if I lend it to you, you have to pay it back to me after defeating the enemy!"

"Don't worry!"

Zhou Yu did not say more words of thanks, but turned around and raised his gun to pull the trigger at the most dense place of the enemy.

With the addition of these new forces, the German army, which had been blocked from the front, began to retreat one after another.

Coupled with the mortar bombardment and the rumbling of tanks, the Germans finally began to retreat, retreating like a tidal wave to the other side of the thick fog.

After a while, Zhou Yu saw the tanks of this era with his own eyes for the first time.

It was a rather clumsy-looking, slow-moving big guy, and it didn't have the long-barreled gun head seen in the rearview, but more of the machine gun holes on the sides of the tank.

This behemoth is usually accompanied by two flamethrower crews carrying oil cans, whose flamethrowers, regardless of their lethality, are more powerful than machine guns.

The rumbling tanks drove past the crowd, and this time it seemed that the British had no intention of stopping, and they wanted to take advantage of the German retreat to push their positions to the east.

A large number of Allied soldiers rushed out from both sides and burrowed into the other side of the gunsmoke, as if cut off from this world.

"Gather your formation, don't be dragged east by these teams! Our goal is the south, get away from them~~! ”

Zhou Yu shouted loudly, gathering as many laborers as possible who could still stand, and only after a large number of Allied soldiers passed through this trench did he hurriedly move south with his men.

They found a relatively empty low-lying area, so that they could reorganize their armament and treat the wounded.

"Williams, thanks to you this time, I don't know how many of our four hundred people would have survived without you."

finally escaped from danger, and Zhou Yu expressed his gratitude to Williams.

"Bruce Zhou, this is my return to you, if it wasn't for you before, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago...... But now you see, I'm already a captain, you know, captain~! I took the initiative to ask Yingling to support Verdun with you, and I don't know why I always have the feeling that as long as I follow you, my rank can still rise one level! ”

Williams said excitedly, as if he had regarded Zhou Yu as his mascot.
