Chapter 27: The explosion of Verdun
At the same time that Zhou Yu shouted "do it", Wu Xiaolong had already bowed his body and rushed out like a cheetah.
Without a gun, he lunged out and plunged a dagger into the neck of the nearest enemy, and with a flick of his other hand, a short blade had been pierced into the throat of the other defender, but it was not fatal.
But as a result, Wu Xiaolong, who was a dart master, had already expected it, and he turned around to take off the dagger on the neck of the previous enemy and smashed it on the opponent's heart.
His series of movements are smooth and extremely chic, and at first glance he is a good hand with a knife.
After he put down the two nearby German soldiers, he looked up and saw that Zhou Yu actually came first, put the two sentries in the distance to the ground at the same time, and also covered the other party's mouth and nose, holding the two corpses and falling to the ground gently, trying not to make any sound.
Wu Xiaolong secretly praised in his heart, this Mr. Zhou not only has a good brain, but also has sharp skills that make people feel scared!
He dared to guarantee the ticket, if he and Zhou Yu made a move, I am afraid that he would hate the northwest in front of him.
The two of them killed the four sentries neatly, Zhou Yu gestured behind him, and the other laborers rushed out of the bushes and attacked the enemy's ammunition depot as agreed in advance.
At this point, when the laborers of Task Force C13 were very close to the enemy ammunition depot, a German soldier carrying a box appeared to have just woken up, and half of his head was peeking out of the low-lying area.
However, when he saw the scene in front of him, the whole person was stunned, and then he did not shout or raise his gun, but reached out and rubbed his eyes, and looked forward again, most likely thinking that he was hallucinating.
But this time, as soon as he was halfway through his shout, he was wiped by Zhou Yumali's neck.
Immediately afterwards, several other sleepy-eyed German soldiers were killed one by one by the rifle shooters who had already taken aim in the distance.
The sound of "bang-bang" gunfire pierced the silence of the early morning, and for so long it was basically the Germans who launched a new offensive in the morning, but the first gunfire of the day came from the flank and rear far from the center of the battlefield.
The sound of gunfire from here spread far and wide, reaching the ears of soldiers on both sides of the front line.
The commander of the German front slapped the table and asked his sentry, "Where did this gunfire come from?!" ”
The commander on the French side had a bright eye, looked at Williams not far in front of him, and wondered: "They really did it?" Order everyone to prepare for a counteroffensive! ”
The cripple's letter was finally delivered to Williams, and now he was quite excited.
Williams, who had first arrived in the Verdun theater, was still uneasy, thinking that the Chinese laborers under his management had either escaped or died on the way, but he did not expect that so many of them would survive and discover the enemy's secret ammunition depot.
If the Battle of Verdun were to be reversed because of this incident, it would be highly likely that the credit for the work of these laborers would go to him, after all, he was the supreme commander of Task Force C13.
Williams was assigned a machine gun charge company, and the cripple was right behind him.
The sound of gunfire in the distance hit the defending soldiers who were all holding back their strength like a shot in the arm.
At the same time, the surprise attack of Task Force C13 had already been discovered by soldiers from the German ammunition depot, and a fierce exchange of fire began.
But fortunately, the Chinese workers took the lead and had been inserted into the opponent's camp like a sharp sword, and the role that firearms could play at this moment was very limited.
Zhou Yu is like a tiger that pounces into the flock, his ability is fully opened, regardless of the loss of physical strength, no one survives.
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was so brave, the laborers were not far behind, and they either fired or fought in close combat, and used exactly what they had trained in the recent period on the enemy.
"Xiaolong, Lao Cai, start leading people to retreat to both sides!"
has already invaded the hinterland of the German arsenal, Zhou Yu no longer dares to let everyone shoot indiscriminately with guns, there are boxes of shells in it, but if a little misfire causes an explosion, these people have to be explained here.
At the same time, several people who had been found in advance with the best arm strength gathered together, and everyone took off the grenade on their waists and stood on the top of the slope at a higher place, waiting for Zhou Yu to give orders.
Zhou Yu shot back the German troops rushing out of the trenches, and turned around to observe the retreat of his own people.
When they had all withdrawn to the back of the ramp, Zhou Yu made a gesture to the other side and signaled for the bombing to begin.
Several laborers who had been ambushed in a pre-set location took out their grenades and pulled them apart, used all their strength to swing their arms, and threw the grenades far away into the German army's hidden ammunition depot.
In the frontal direction, Zhou Yu himself also unloaded the grenades on his waist, and on his side were five tied together, and after lighting the fuse, he turned around three times in place, throwing the bundle of grenades to the center of the enemy's position like throwing a discus.
After doing this, Zhou Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and those grenades stabbed in slow motion in the sky.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu's leg muscles suddenly tensed, stepping on a pothole on the ground, and his body quickly fell backwards.
Two steps, three steps, Zhou Yu's mental power was completely released, adjusting his state to the peak, so that his body drew an afterimage, and disappeared in the center of the German position with a brush.
Several German soldiers who had just wanted to aim at him lost their target in front of him, and at the same time, more than a dozen grenades rained down into the German arsenal.
In an instant, there was a heart-rending shout from the arsenal, and the next second there was a bang, and streams of fire rose out of thin air, which was generated by the explosion of a grenade, although the power was not small, but it was still within the controllable range.
But after the first explosion, the second explosion followed, blowing the roof of the secret ammunition depot hidden below the horizon into the air!
With a "bang", countless mud mixed with stones flew into the sky like a fountain of earth.
The earth was shaken, and the particles on the ground bounced out of thin air, and the original hard ground extended cracks with the explosion as the center, like an earthquake.
The explosion was unusually dull and straight to the heart, but it was still only a prelude, because the more violent explosion also went straight into the sky after this muffled sound.
He had already used his ability to run a considerable distance, but Zhou Yu was still swept away by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
Although he didn't calculate accurately, he realized that he had been in the air for at least five or six seconds.
A loud and dense explosion rang out, and the ground shook as if it was standing on the deck of a stormy ship.
The terrifying explosion caused the surrounding hills to collapse, collapse, and even subside.
Many Germans who had not been killed by the explosion would have been buried alive on the spot by the overwhelming influx of earth.
The dense explosion caused everyone nearby to lose their hearing for a moment, and their brains were buzzing, and even though they had plugged their ears with cotton beforehand, their brains were still dizzy.
This can reflect from the side, how many shells did the Germans hide here, and what did they want to do?
But none of this matters, the important thing is that they were discovered by Zhou Yu and used this hidden ammunition depot to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!
The light of the fire that reached the sky reached the French positions far away, and everyone who was shocked was unsteady on their feet.
"My God, did they succeed? They really succeeded! ”
Although the defenders knew in advance, there were still cheers and shouts from the camp at this moment.
Everyone has been suppressed for too long, and today this depression finally has a breakthrough that can be vented.
The officer in charge of the front-line command took a deep breath and waved his big hand: "Soldiers, for the sake of our motherland, rush ~~~ to drive the invaders out of our land ~~~!" ”
"Rush----!"
For the first time, the French army, having received the news in advance, launched a full-scale counterattack!
As the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Verdun of the French Army, Petain decisively ordered to mobilize three divisions on the front line as the first echelon to launch a frontal counteroffensive, and also concentrated more than 600 artillery pieces that could be mobilized in each corner of them, playing the prelude to death while the infantry attacked!
This is the famous "Xu Jin barrage" tactic, which allows the attacking assault troops to advance under the cover of artillery fire.
The French soldiers, armed with spears and singing "Marseillaise", jumped out of the trenches and bunkers against the backdrop of the roaring artillery fire, and rushed desperately towards the enemy camp.
