Expedition to Europe

Chapter 44 Counterattack

Reinforcements, there are many ways to express the meaning of this word.

A bowl of water in the desert, a bonfire in the snow, a rope for a drowning person, a hug from a homeless person.

Putting these situations together, that is the meaning of reinforcements.

For Qin Zhiyuan and his men, the arrival of reinforcements is a cause for celebration, but they are also in a crisis.

Once the Germans find that they cannot get the gold back, they may blow up the tunnel and choose to burn everything down. Anyway, I can't get it, and it's not so easy for you to get it.

In order to avoid the tragedy, Qin Zhiyuan immediately organized the troops to counterattack.

As usual, grenades lead the way, light machine guns follow up and shoot, killing all Germans in sight and eliminating all hidden dangers.

"Attack." After arranging the attack order, Qin Zhiyuan gave the order.

"Attack!" Lieutenant Garce held a Lewis machine gun and personally joined the attacking team.

"Attack!" Although the results were brilliant, the soldiers who were suppressed by the Germans for a whole day and were waiting to vent their frustrations said in unison.

After finishing four cans of beef and drinking two bottles of milk, Zheng Dali, who had recovered most of his strength, took the lead. Before he reached the designated attack position, two grenades flew out of his hands, hit the wall of the tunnel and bounced in the other direction.

Violent explosions and thick smoke burst out. Zheng Dali squatted at the corner and threw grenades with both hands like a machine gun. The explosions spread from near to far, plowing the other direction of the tunnel.

Before the explosions stopped, Gars flashed out, and the Lewis light machine gun in his hand roared wildly, sweeping down all the standing bodies.

Then Cheng Feiming, the successor of the Iron Arm Fist, took over and threw the next wave of grenades.

Chen Kangjian and Ge Lifu followed behind Gars. They were responsible for eliminating hidden dangers. The so-called elimination of hidden dangers includes both explosives and seriously injured Germans who are not dead. God knows whether they will detonate the grenades on their waists before they die.

Chen Kangjian is a standard martial artist, and can also be called a hot commodity; Ge Lifu is usually silent, but whenever he appears, he will hit the nail on the head at the critical moment.

These two people are the best candidates to eliminate hidden dangers.

An ordinary person, face to face with a knife to kill another living person, not only has to face the eyes full of pleading and attachment, but also has to listen to all kinds of absurd pleading and dying groaning struggles, which is something that ordinary people can't do. But Chen Kangjian and Ge Lifu did it without mercy, and it was quick and easy, which made people have to suspect that they had committed crimes before, at least they had seen blood on their hands.

Hu Tingfeng and Jin Taihe followed behind Chen Kangjian and Ge Lifu, and they were responsible for finding explosives. Jin Taihe claimed to be the descendant of the legendary Six Gates, and was good at finding traces and analyzing and reasoning. This Six Gates is not very reliable. Although there is a legend of the Six Gates in the world, no one has ever seen the disciples of the Six Gates walking in the world. However, after Hu Tingfeng had tested Jin Taihe, he was sure of his ability, so Qin Zhiyuan believed in him.

If Jin Taihe was really from the Six Gates, then the combination of these two people was very strange. One was a former constable and the other was a former tomb robber. They were a typical soldier-bandit family.

Hu Tingfeng and Jin Taihe's work was still effective. They attacked less than 100 meters forward and found three smoking grenades. Each time, Jin Taihe was quick to cover the German corpses next to the grenades, so that no major casualties were caused.

Qin Zhiyuan saw all this, and he felt a little uneasy. If possible, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to check the background of these people to see what they did before. But when he thought about it, Qin Zhiyuan laughed.

These people are all warriors. As the saying goes, "knights break the law with martial arts", they are proud of their martial arts skills, so they must not be too honest when they are in China. Maybe they are wanted by the local government because they have a case and can't stay there, so they are forced to join the labor camp. If you really want to look closely, it is estimated that there are not many people in the labor team who are innocent.

When recruiting people, Huimin Company conducted strict physical examinations and stipulated a variety of diseases. If there is only one, they will not be recruited. In the Republic of China in 1916, if they are honest and low-level people, they will have some diseases due to poor living conditions.

Just when Qin Zhiyuan was thinking about it, Zheng Dali and his team had crossed the C and B positions. In the process, Gars was hit by a German soldier and was slightly injured. Then at the A position, where the Germans once made a comeback at a heavy price, two French machine gunners were also hit, one killed and one seriously injured.

Qin Zhiyuan realized that the Germans' resistance was increasing, and the reinforcements had already engaged the Germans. The critical moment had arrived.

"Ian, organize your people, it's time to charge." When it came to the time to pay with lives, Qin Zhiyuan first thought of the French.

"Yes, sir." Infantry company commander Ian stood at attention and saluted, then turned back and shouted "For France", and the French infantry, who had been eager to try, immediately swarmed forward.

The Germans were not well prepared. After they entered the tunnel, they always took heavy casualties before occupying the machine gun position when the French took the initiative to retreat. Therefore, the Germans were not prepared for the sudden attack of the French, and their defense was instantly broken.

The German MG08 heavy machine gun is not easy to move, so the MG08/15 light machine gun was developed based on the MG08. This light machine gun is very heavy. Although it is much lighter than the MG08, it is still too heavy compared to the French Lewis and M1909 Hotchkiss. In addition, the German MG08/15 production is insufficient, and the number of equipment is too small. The few that are available are moved to the front line because they are involved in the attack. As a result, when Qin Zhiyuan started to counterattack, they were killed by Zheng Dali's grenade early. Therefore, when facing the French attack, the German resistance was like a pile of loose sand, and the speed of retreat was much faster than their attack speed.

The end of the tunnel is the tunnel entrance. Now because of the dark sky, the sight there is not very good. Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan has ordered the restoration of power supply. Under the light of the electric light, the situation can be barely seen clearly.

Although Ian's men were not very skilled in combat, fortunately they did not lose their courage. Under the crazy attack of the French, the Germans were finally driven out of the tunnel.

When a "hello" was finally heard at the entrance of the tunnel, everyone was excited.

"Man, you did a great job, it's admirable." The British lieutenant colonel, dressed in a neat and straight uniform and shiny officer boots, saluted Qin Zhiyuan.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you came at the right time. If it was later, you would only be able to help us collect the bodies." Qin Zhiyuan returned the salute and expressed his gratitude.

"We are very honored to help you." The British lieutenant colonel said, and took the lead to walk towards the tunnel.

"Uh..." Looking at the passage in front of him that was almost completely blocked by corpses, the lieutenant colonel was dumbfounded.

The lieutenant colonel could swear that he had never seen so many corpses in the same tunnel in his life.
