Chapter 1744 Can't move(1/2)
During this day on November 9, the two sides of the war began to confront each other, and in the rear position, Wei Ran also learned some things from those who came to deliver letters from time to time.
According to an Austrian warrior who also speaks Spanish, the position they fought for in the morning was the position they lost on their side, so the battle in the morning was more precise than a capture.
Of course, this confrontation is not about grinding time in the trenches. When it dawns, the soldiers who came out of the position in front began to expand and deepen the trenches they had recaptured, while the soldiers in the rear began to venture into the jagged traffic trenches connecting the front positions in sections.
This was destined to be a hard and dangerous job. In the middle of the two positions in front and back, Wei Ran and Yu Yanlin lay in the shallow pit dug, and they worked hard to deepen the dot-shaped foxglove pit with their engineer shovels in their hands, and expanded it into a trench bit by bit.
As noon approached, this traffic trench finally penetrated through the busyness of many soldiers and was connected with the positions forward.
After a simple lunch, everyone continued to expand the front position with the mortars that came from time to time.
But Wei Ran knew that these were all illusions, and they prepared for a long-term confrontation for the opponent.
Because of this, he did a little perfunctory job in expanding the trenches. Compared with these civil engineering homework, he wanted to retain his energy and devote himself to the night battle.
Yu Yanlin, who had been teaming up with him, seemed to have seen something, "Brother Wei, don't you seem to be lazy, right?"
Before Wei Ran could answer, Clermont, who was also holding a shovel in his hand, also found them.
"Listen to me friends"
Clermont whispered in French, "Reserve your strength. After dark, all those with pistols and submachine guns will be organized to launch a raid on the opposite side. Our Soviet commander is ready to seize the opponent's position tonight."
After saying this, Clermont raised his voice and asked, "So how many letters did our Battlefield Post Office receive today?"
“When we started digging trenches, there were already more than 20 seals.”
Yu Yanlin also responded loudly, "I made a mailbox with an ammunition box and put it there. We can go over and take a look later."
"Let it stay there first." Clermont waved his hand and spread a cigarette for them both.
Although all three of them were saving their efforts, they still worked together to dig out a negative bunker. At the same time, the order to launch a night attack at night began to be conveyed to the soldiers around them, and they were selected in the trenches.
Relying on their pistols or submachine guns, Wei Ran successfully joined Clermont and Yu Yanlin in the night attack team, and after dinner, they each got the same cold weapon.
What Clermont got was a wire cutter used to destroy the barbed wire, and what Yu Yanlin got was an English Bill trench knife with a hatchet style similar to the common hatchet in southern China. What Wei Ran got was a trench rod.
The trench stick is particularly simple. It is a wooden handle less than half a meter long and a metal ball with thorns on the end. Whether it hits the head or the chest, it is enough to be fatal to one blow.
In addition, each of them was assigned two grenades obviously seized from this position.
"How to fight the night attack at night?" Clermont asked in the bunker that the three of them worked together to dig.
"We have to climb over by then, the first difficulty is barbed wire."
Wei Ran lit a cigarette again and said, "This is also the easiest time to be discovered, so you must lie down and be prepared to throw the grenades out at any time."
After a brief pause, Wei Ran continued, "If the barbed wire has been opened, the rest will be easy. There are only two situations. When we jumped into the trench, we were not discovered by the other party, or had been discovered by the other party."
Give these two rookies a little time to react, Wei Ran continued patiently, "In the second case, what we need to do is to throw the grenades as much as possible into the back of their trenches and at all the machine gun posts that are firing. If we were still alive at that time, remember to jump in immediately after throwing the grenades. Only by jumping into the trenches and mingling with them is safe."
"What if it's the first situation?" Clermon asked with a little nervousness.
"If it is the first type, before gunfire and shouting appear, we should give priority to using cold weapons to solve as many enemies as possible."
Wei Ran said, "Our first goal is to approach the machine gun post tower that came out. As long as we solve as many machine gun post towers as possible, the comrades behind can follow us."
"What if we didn't cross the wire at the beginning?" Yu Yanlin asked.
"Then find a way to throw all the grenades before being killed." Wei Ran said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yanlin couldn't help but panic.
"We'll survive," Clermont said, "Where did Victor, after he solved the machine gun post?
"Stay there and wait for more people to come."
Wei Ran continued, "If we are the follow-up support force, we must jump into his trenches in time and cover each other."
Speaking of this, Wei Ran said, "Louis, your submachine gun is responsible for covering the enemies outside the trenches on both sides. When you see it, you fire it."
"This is dark..."
"If you really fight, you will have flares."
Wei Ran explained hurriedly and continued, "Clermont, you are holding a pistol behind me, and you will be on your way when I need support or change magazines."
"Okay," Yu Yanlin and Clermont responded in unison.
As everyone was waiting patiently, the sky gradually darkened and darkened. The mortars of both sides also began to launch shells at the opposite position from time to time, trying to blow up the barbed wire arranged by both sides in front of the position.
Taking advantage of the last time, Clermont ran to the rear position to get his backpack and tinkered with three cups of Italian coffee in the simple bunker.
"Your preference for coffee makes you look more like an Italian"
Wei Ran said with his own small cup of coffee, that Clermont's Italian coffee is not very popular in this front line where there is no milk, no sugar, and may even die at any time.
“I started drinking coffee when I was very young.”
Clermont drank all the coffee in the silver eggshell cup, "I know your Chinese tea, I hope I can taste it if I have the chance in the future."
"If you go to China with me to participate in the battle with Fasi Sucking Wipe in the future, I will let you taste all kinds of different teas."
Yu Yanlin smiled and said, "It must be better than your Italian coffee."
"If I can survive, I will go to China." Clermont said, "You must take me to taste your tea, all kinds of tea."
"Then let's just say that."
Wei Ran also drank all the coffee in the eggshell cup, but at the same time sighed helplessly in his heart, hoping that they could all survive.
During the chat about tea, time passed by minute by minute. The soldiers who were preparing to participate in the raid also took their own weapons, gathered in the trenches, and lay on the edge of the trenches, ready to jump out the trenches at any time.
As everyone waited patiently, time passed minute by minute, and finally, someone gave a signal to set off by slapping their back.
He looked at Yu Yanlin and Clermont on both sides. The three of them climbed out of the trench without distinction and passed through the gap between the barbed wire. Then they slowly climbed towards the trench on the opposite shore hundreds of meters away.
This is destined to be a slow but thrilling process, especially as they crawl, they will occasionally touch the bodies that were shot dead in the morning but not cleaned up.
These corpses that have become cold and stiff, but still have a human touch. In this dark environment, not to mention those international brigade recruits who have not been trained, even Wei Ran will inevitably tighten his nerves every time he touched them without preparation.
But the terrifying thing is far more than that. Just as they were crawling, Wei Ran first realized something was wrong, and reacted very quickly and reached out to hold Yu Yanlin and Clermont on both sides of his side, and at the same time, he whispered in French and stopped.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled out the trench staff that was tied to the back.
At the same time, Yu Yanlin and Clermont also stopped one after another and pulled people around.
However, when his reminder was transmitted to both sides, it was still too late. Those who were crawling fast had already collided with the enemies who were crawling over the opposite side in a head-to-head manner!
"Damn him!" Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already gotten up and rushed towards the opposite side with his waist.
A little later, Yu Yanlin and Clermont also ran over with their own guys.
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, I don’t know who pulled the trigger, and a scream came from a distance.
"Bang! Bang!"
The moment the gunfire was heard back to the position, the twins fired flares one after another.
At the same time, Wei Ran had already thrown the trench staff out of his hand and smashed it hard on the chest of the enemy who was vaguely visible to the other side. Then, he kicked it in the screams of the other party.
"Click!"
With the crisp sound of bone cracks, as the two flares in front and behind rose, Wei Ran also saw the enemy who was close at hand. While the other party screamed, he took out the Mauser bayonet from the metal notebook and stabbed him through the heart.
Taking advantage of the squatting posture, Wei Ran pulled out the Mauser bayonet, and picked up the trench staff and smashed it straight on the bottom cover of the enemy who was holding a dagger to fight with Yu Yanlin.
"Click!"
Accompanied by the second bone crack and scream, the man immediately fell to the ground, and by chance, the curved blade of the hatchet in Yu Yanlin's hand was cut through his head.
Looking at Wei Ran again, he was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, he kicked the side with a very dirty fighting style. With the huge force of poking his feet, he easily kicked the knee of the man who was holding a pistol and preparing to fire at Clermont to a fracture.
"Bang!"
The wire cutter in Clermont's hand hit the other party's head a little later, making a muffled sound.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Ran had already thrown the trench staff in his hand towards the second row of enemies in front of him, and he also turned half a circle with his elbow as the center of the circle, and kicked the egg toward the unlucky guy who was hit by the trench staff.
By the time he got up at the fastest speed, Yu Yanlin and Clermont had already pounced on the second enemy in front of him.
"puff!"
He stabbed the enemy in front of him with a bayonet, who had been blown up with an egg, and smashed his brain tissue. Wei Ran stepped on the corpse's face with one foot and pulled out the bayonet, then looked at the next enemy.
The enemy was obviously frightened, and he almost subconsciously wanted to pull out the pistol at his waist.
"Da da da da!"
Wei Ran took out the box cannon and shot a row of fans in front of him.
Then he handed the gun with his left hand and pulled the trigger almost against the ear of the enemy in front of Yu Yanlin.
"Bang!"
Almost on the front and back feet, a Nagan revolver appeared on his left hand, and while Wei Ran turned his head over, he also pulled the trigger towards the enemy in front of Clermont.
"shot!"
Wei Ran reminded loudly, "Then lie down!"
"Bang!"
