Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 567 Trench Warfare

However, Qi Lin's plan has not yet been implemented, and a group of more than 30 British troops has already rushed into the trench where they are under the cover of firepower.

In the First World War, the bloodiest and cruelest was the trench warfare of personal combat.

During the Battle of the Somme, the light and short MP18 submachine gun had not yet come out, and neither the G98 rifle used by the German army nor the Enfield rifle used by the British army was too long, which was not conducive to fighting in the trenches. The most common ones are naturally all kinds of strange melee weapons.

The group of British soldiers came up under the cover of shelling and gas bombs. The German soldiers who were caught off guard were killed by the opponent with bayonets as soon as they met each other.

These people are said to be British soldiers, but they are actually Indians, with thick turbans wrapped around their heads and heavy gas masks on their faces-during World War I, India was still a colony of the Commonwealth of Nations. The supply of troops within the United Kingdom is scarce, so it can only recruit a large number of Indian soldiers as a supplementary force.

The status of these Indians in the army is naturally lower than that of the British, so many of the life and death in the charge are entrusted to them.

After several people were killed by these Indian soldiers, the German soldiers reacted, shouted and raised the weapons in their hands, and began to fight hand-to-hand with the Indian soldiers. For a while, there was chaos in the trenches.

Qi Lin also participated in this trench warfare. He held a sharp trench thorn in his left hand, and a trench staff with a heavy metal head in his right hand. He squeezed directly to the front of the battle line. Every time it fell, the skull of an Indian soldier was smashed to pieces.

"Kill them! Go! Give them all!"

The second lieutenant of the German Army finally remembered his identity as an officer. While commanding his subordinates loudly, he drew out his pistol, climbed to the shooting platform made of wooden planks and rammed earth on the edge of the trench, and fired condescendingly at the Indian soldiers. .

However, the second lieutenant only killed one person, and an Indian soldier from a distance shot him. The bullet passed directly through the face, broke the cervical spine, and then passed out from the back of the neck—the second lieutenant almost yelled He fell down without screaming.

"Damn it!" Qi Lin stabbed the Indian veteran in front of him who was estimated to be over 50 years old and had a big gray beard. He looked back at the second lieutenant who died in battle, and immediately shouted: "Back! Back! Back! Get around the corner and get the flamethrower!"

The number of British soldiers pouring into the trenches is increasing. In addition to the Indians who are leading the battle, many British soldiers rushed to this position under the cover of tanks, stood outside the trenches and shot inward. The casualties of German soldiers The number of people suddenly increased.

After dropping more than a dozen corpses, the German army finally withdrew behind the corner of the trench—this was under the condition that Qi Lin helped them cut off the rear, otherwise there would be more casualties.

Of course, Qi Lin himself also received two cold shots, but these two shots were shot on the shoulder and half of Qi Lin's ear was knocked off by one shot, which was not too heavy. With Qi Lin's ability to resist beating and recovery , These two shots will not affect his combat effectiveness at all.

A hammer smashed half of the head of an Indian soldier who was rushing forward with a saber, and then kicked heavily on the Indian soldier's chest. The corpse immediately flew back, knocking down several people behind him.

Only then did Qi Lin seize the opportunity and quickly ran behind the corner of the trench.

Due to the rigorous character of the Germans, the corners of the trenches are all standard right angles. In this way, even if shells fall into the trenches, as long as they hide behind the corners in time, they will not be injured by shock waves and fragments. Similarly, When trench warfare breaks out, the right-angled corner can also buy more time and opportunities for the defender.

As soon as Qi Lin rushed into the corner, he threw his only grenade backwards. With a loud "boom", those Indian soldiers who were chasing up were blown up in an instant.

"Flame Thrower!"

Qi Lin shouted loudly, and the German soldiers who retreated one step ahead immediately took out the flamethrower that was sealed in the box and was specially prepared for trench warfare, connected the fuel tank pipe, and a thick long The flames directly swept through most of the trenches.

Those Indian soldiers who were engulfed by the flames could still howl terribly at first, but soon, the screams gradually weakened, and those bodies covered in flames fell to the ground, gradually curling up into piles of human figures. coke.

As for the British soldiers standing outside the trenches and shooting into the trenches, Qi Lin and the others don't need to worry about this at all. The two nearby machine gun positions only fired a round of fire, and these exposed soldiers fell to the ground.

After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, the British troops who rushed into the trenches were finally wiped out, but Qi Lin's original plan was almost ruined. Counting himself, the remaining German troops were only The next eight people survived, and everyone was seriously injured.

"Corporal, I... what should we do now?" A German soldier with an arm injury asked. After the second lieutenant died, Qi Lin became the highest-ranking member of the German army.

Qi Lin looked at the seven German soldiers. Three of them were slightly injured, and they were still able to fight normally; Soldiers help bandage the wound.

As for the last one, it is hopeless—although he is still alive, the bullet passed through his back, shattering the lung lobe, and a large amount of blood is overflowing from his mouth and nose. In terms of the level of medical treatment during the First World War, let alone the front line, even if it can be sent to the field hospital in the rear in time, it is absolutely hopeless.

Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. If this was a real battle, then these German soldiers would have been excluded from the battle sequence, and Qi Lin would only let them retreat to the rear to recuperate, but he knew that these people All are "MPCs" virtualized by computers. To put it bluntly, they are "props" that Qi Lin can use at will during the testing process. Even if these people are dead, it is just a bunch of changes of 0 and 1. .

Thinking of this, Qi Lin felt no burden in his heart, and said with a serious face: "The battle is still going on, we can't retreat now, otherwise this position will not be able to defend."

"But...we really can't hold on anymore...or...or...let's run away..."
