Chapter 44 War rages
Not long after, Sergeant Tommy arrived.

He had anticipated the outbreak of a skirmish, or rather, as a tunnel soldier, this day would definitely come, the only difference was sooner or later.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

When he saw someone, Tommy asked directly, with a hint of recognition in his blue eyes, that if he had seen blood, he must be a veteran.

Jiang He said quickly: "The Prussians started digging trenches over there. Now that the two sides are connected, it means we can charge directly over. Even if we don't have time to mobilize explosives, we can still occupy a defense node."

Tommy did not deny it immediately, but explained: "A round of excavation and loosening the soil takes about 45 minutes. If it exceeds an hour, the soil transporters on the other side will find something wrong. Both sides have considered the situation you mentioned, so if there is any abnormality, the people guarding the outer entrance of the tunnel will detonate the detonator and completely collapse this place. By then, we will be cut off from retreat, and without follow-up support, we will just be waiting to die."

Jiang He said: "If we can cut off the fuse, you say we will start a seven-day bombing tomorrow morning. Even if we succeed in occupying the other side, we will not encounter a large-scale counterattack. If we hold out through the bombing period, the ground forces will advance. It is expected that the pressure will not be too great, and we will be the first to succeed in the next large-scale offensive."

Tommy was a little shaken when he heard this. The British army had not launched a large-scale offensive for eight months. He came here from the mainland by boat and had been digging holes in the tunnel. This was a good opportunity to make a name for himself, but time was running out and he had to make a life-and-death decision immediately.

"I agree with your idea, provided that you can really cut off the other party's lead."

"I'm not kidding with my life."

Charlie chimed in, "The boss just reached out and grabbed a spear."

Tommy narrowed his eyes. It turned out that they were all "knights" like himself. From the description, they were either seahorse knights or kangaroo knights, and they had the ability to store items.

"Then act immediately. Danny, go back and inform the lieutenant that the heroic moment he has been longing for has come. Let my brother take the men to guard the door. I don't trust anyone else to do it."

The bald soldier immediately turned and left.

Jiang He contacted Wuhe through the friend list. The other party was proficient in intelligence search, so it was not difficult to find the lead.

[It's a small matter. No one is on guard against me at night. The question is which trench to cut the fuse of]
[No. 145, diagonally opposite to the right of my position]
Tommy took out his pocket watch and kept an eye on the time. If the lieutenant didn't arrive within forty-five minutes, he would decisively give up the operation.

Half an hour later, a gray-haired middle-aged man arrived at the scene, followed by a large number of people, all carrying Lee Enfield rifles and grenades.

The lieutenant yelled, "Tommy, if you dare to tell me this is April Fools' Day, I'll kick your ass!"

"Mr. Captain, time is running out. I suspect the other side has already noticed something is wrong. We must act quickly."

Tommy raised his revolver and walked through the hole first.

"Hey, you stole my thunder!"

The lieutenant was not willing to be outdone. He kicked a few times to enlarge the hole, then crawled through it, followed by the British soldiers.

[Done, but if it takes too long, they will fix it again]
Jiang He followed at the front of the team and received news from Wuhe. He and the other party were a combination of executive officer and intelligence officer, and they had a basic level of trust before the hunting mission was completed.

In the pitch-black darkness, everyone was holding each other's clothes and moving forward. Jiang He heard a slight breathing sound coming from not far ahead, so he took out his revolver and fired three shots in the dark.

"Bang bang bang."

"Hey, kid, you scared me." The lieutenant said angrily.

Tommy rubbed his hands for a while, then looked up and said, "There's a body under my feet. It should be a Prussian who came to check on the situation."

The lieutenant was delighted, "Good boy, scare me as hard as you can!"

At a certain moment, the breathing became suddenly easier, and Jiang He guessed that they had come to the fork in the tunnel.

Tommy whispered, "We must charge next."

"I'll take the lead."

Jiang He, holding the Changhen Spear in his hand, rushed out at an extremely fast speed. The oil lamp at the end of the tunnel emitted an orange light. A group of Prussian tunnel soldiers were sitting together, discussing who to send to take a look. Suddenly, a figure fell into the crowd like a meteor, and a pure blue full moon swept a circle. Wherever it passed, everything was shattered, broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere, and blood spurted.

Tommy and the lieutenant also rushed out, and the two fired in succession, with gunfire flashing. At the same time, the wooden door in front was opened, and a grenade was thrown in. The explosion produced a strong shock wave. Jiang He raised his arms to protect his face and continued to rush forward. His internal organs seemed to be churning. He smashed the wooden door directly, stabbed out with a spear, and stabbed the gatekeeper next to him to death.

"This kid was born in the wrong era."

The lieutenant kept pulling the bolt and firing, "He must be an outstanding knight in ancient times!"

Tommy didn't bother to talk and directed the soldiers to rush to the door.

……

Outside the tunnel, a lieutenant pressed the detonator almost frantically. Unfortunately, the explosion took a long time to come. In the distance, only crows could be heard crying in a mocking manner.

Jiang He put away his Changhen rifle, rushed to the nearby area and shot the lieutenant dead with one bullet. Two soldiers rushed out of the bunker in the left front, and the rifle bullets hit his chest with a heavy muffled sound.

Tommy shot the enemy dead with two shots, and more than 20 people behind him rushed forward to occupy the entrance of the bunker. The Prussian soldiers inside wanted to charge out, but were blocked at the door. Bullets were fired in the air and people kept falling down.

The entire trench was filled with gunfire. Jiang He ran out of bullets in his revolver, picked up the bullets from his own soldiers' bodies and continued fighting. A bullet from the dark hit his forehead. If it weren't for the four layers of steel helmet protection, the sniper would have succeeded.

The Prussian trench was more than two meters high and was fixed with a large number of wooden boards. The ground was covered with thick mud and water. It looked like a maze in the night and was connected to other strongholds on the left and right.

Tommy led the team to the left, and the Irish in the vanguard working group fought bravely and rushed to the front.

Seeing this, Jiang He forcefully pointed at a dozen people without even looking at their military ranks. In this chaotic situation, his forceful approach paid off, and a team gathered together and rushed to the right.

The entire company consisted of nearly three hundred people, and at this time they were pouring out of the tunnel in an endless stream.

Suddenly, a huge cloud of gunpowder mixed with dust and chalk flew into the sky. The strong shock wave passed through the surface and reached Jiang He's feet, knocking him into the side wall and then falling heavily to the ground.

The shell exploded in the center of the team, killing and wounding more than a dozen people instantly. Then a barrage of machine gun fire covered the enemy and the enemy took control of the machine gun and artillery positions.

"Hey!"

Jiang He propped himself up and vomited blood. He was covered in dust and dirt. The sudden artillery shell left him no way to dodge. If he were an ordinary soldier, he would have been dead long ago.

"Da da da!"

The machine guns suppressed the attacking soldiers so much that they could not raise their heads. A firepower team of six people controlled the position, one person shooting, one person loading ammunition, and the other four were assistants and guards.

Jiang He forced himself to swallow the blood, took out a black gem from his item bag, swung his arm violently sideways, and his shirt stuck to the air, making a crisp sound of bursting.

The chaos bomb exploded at the machine gun position. A dazzling light like a flash bomb rose up in a radius of thirty meters. The roar was heard, and the ground was barren as if it had been plowed countless times. The temporary defense line established by the Prussian soldiers with the help of machine guns was also destroyed.

Kills +23
Jiang He rushed to the right side of the trench. The company from the next stronghold began to reinforce. The lieutenant and his men came over with a Lewis machine gun and they were able to hold the position. The barrage of bullets swept across the sky, and the charging Prussians fell like wheat being cut.

"Hold on, hold on!" the lieutenant shouted, "The battalion commander's reinforcements will arrive by daybreak, and we are all heroes!"

In the chaos, a sergeant led his team to attack the bunker. In order to solve the biggest problem, he ordered the use of the only flamethrower in the entire company. The fire dragon swept through the bunker, and one Prussian after another died in pain like torches.

At this moment, a bullet came and killed the soldier carrying the spray gun. Charlie next to him was glaring with anger. He picked up the spray gun and continued to burn the bunker. In a trance, he saw a burning house and heard a childish wailing in his ears again.

The fire-breathing dragon's jet was a sitting duck in the dark, and the sniper's second bullet killed Charlie, penetrating his skull and completely destroying his brain.

The two shots exposed the sniper's position. Tommy's subordinate sniper "Hunter" Barney fired back, successfully killed the opponent, and then quickly looked for the next target.

Soon after, two explosive packs exploded, and the left and right trench entrances collapsed, which meant that the position had completely changed hands.

The lieutenant commanded the soldiers to repair the offensive and rearrange the outer barbed wire. The battle was in full swing.
