Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 200 Poisoned!
Thomas ran over in a hurry, calling Li Mu's name at the same time. The water bottle on his body jingled as he ran, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Mu turned his head and saw this guy running up to him panting, and then took out a piece of paper from his briefcase.

"The order from the superior requires you, battalion commander, to prepare to receive troops, and then go to the Angker River theater position to stand by."

Li Mu took the things in the opponent's hand and looked at them. Hans next to him also threw down the shovel and walked over quickly. He and Li Mu browsed the words above, and then looked at each other.

"Those officials have no good intentions!" Hans said angrily, threw his hat on the ground, and walked away angrily.

The other soldiers were all looking at Li Mu, and Li Mu also looked up and scanned them around.

Waving the paper in his hand, he said helplessly to them, "This is an order from above. We are soldiers, so we should obey."

The light in the eyes of the soldiers immediately dissipated a lot. Obviously, they didn't want to participate in this battle anymore, but now they have no ability to change this situation.

Ralph stood by and listened to all this. When he heard that he was about to go back to the battlefield, there was inevitably some hesitation in his eyes.

When he raised his head and wanted to say something to Li Mu, Li Mu had already gone outside with Thomas, and Li Mu was going to receive soldiers now.

"Don't think so much, let Hans gather everyone and collect all the things that can be brought!"

Li Mu said this to the soldiers when he left, and then he followed Thomas to lead the soldiers.

Taking the newly received 100 soldiers and more than [-] veterans like himself to the war zone, Li Mu knew why he couldn't withdraw. It turned out that it was the Cross on his chest that caused the trouble. The officers who graduated from the academy are different from ordinary officers. They have been given more expectations. Although there are still only so many troops under their command, they are being used wisely. The next place to go is The most dangerous war zone, where it is directly exposed to the enemy's artillery fire, one can imagine how cruel the battle will be at that time.

Since he couldn't retreat, Li Mu also made full use of his status to obtain more luggage from the rear, such as five new machine guns, and hundreds of boxes of bullets and grenades.

Germany does not seem to be lacking in this aspect, and this is obvious to all. The firepower of the artillery position has not stopped at all in the past month, and piles of shell casings have even been conscripted into water canisters because there is no way to recover them in time. , and even filled with soil and buried on the top of the trench.

At this moment, Li Mu and the others were walking on the way to the second-line position, the sound of guns and artillery in front became more and more intense and crisp, and even more medical soldiers could be seen carrying stretchers to carry the soldiers down one by one, and there were queues on both sides of the dirt road The soldiers who were walking forward were all in a nervous mood. They were even more nervous when they saw the wounded soldiers being carried away crying.

Li Mu led them to continue walking forward. There was already a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air. There was a slightly undulating hill in front of him, but at this moment, the place was scorched black, and there was no trace of it. green.

Looking up, there are bomb craters everywhere, and the huge bomb craters are full of scorched black, covering the color that the soil should have.

The war has changed everything here.

Leading the soldiers to their new position, looking from here to the front, almost everyone gasped.

At this moment, the position is as if it has been deeply plowed. The whole river valley is completely unrecognizable, and the soil has even been blown loose. Walking on it is as soft as stepping on pine debris.

But even so, in the trenches deep into the position, bunkers still stood firmly. A few soldiers holding on to this position handed over the work to Li Mu and others, and then left with eagerness. Here it goes.

Li Mu and the others were left with a heavy heart.

Hans looked around, and then poked Li Mu. Li Mu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the location of the river valley in the distance, which was full of corpses at the moment.

"They are all the corpses of the British. It seems that a lot of people died here, and the corpses have not been dragged back." Hans looked through the binoculars, then hurriedly stood in the trench, and then looked at Li Mu.

"Battalion Commander, how long do you think we can last with this little force?"

"It's hard to say. There are almost a million troops gathered around the Somme now. Even if these people don't attack all at once, the intensity of the attack we will face will definitely not be better than the first day."

Hans nodded silently listening to Li Mu's words, but Li Mu didn't waste any time. He immediately called the soldiers to repair the obstacles on the ground in front of him, pulled up the barbed wire again, and put down the fallen wooden piles and some enemy guns. All are buried vertically in the soil, hoping to build an obstacle to hinder the opponent's progress.

Li Mu also made up his mind to mix the water in the puddle of cement remaining in the bunker, and asked someone to make a triangular cone and put it in the tunnel for later use.

What Raffel couldn't understand the most was these triangular cones. Putting these things on the ground would only serve as cover for the enemies, and would not be conducive to their own wrong attacks.

But when he asked Li Mu, Li Mu just glanced at him and didn't speak.

Because Li Mu knew that in the next battle, this thing would definitely play a huge role, and even allow more people to survive.

Because when the time comes, those British gentlemen will find another way to drive a kind of steel monster to the battlefield.

The position was slightly arranged, and before dusk, the rumble of artillery could be heard in the rolling mountains in the distance. At this moment, Li Mu and others were already having dinner in the bunker.

After a long period of fighting, the two sides seem to have reached some tacit agreement, that is, they shell each other in the morning and evening, soldiers charge during the day and rest at night.

Everything seemed a little weird and funny.

However, Li Mu knew why the British and French allied forces did not conduct night raids, because they could not control their own soldiers in the dark, and the Maxim machine guns on the German positions were what they feared.

It's just that there is a weird feeling tonight.

Li Mu's emotions were not caused by returning to the position, nor was it caused by the nervousness of the surrounding soldiers.

It was because of a sudden wind.

The wind was very strong, blowing from the south to the north. The wind was mixed with water vapor and the heat of late summer. It hit Li Mu and the others on the faces, making people feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Mu originally thought that the wind would stop or turn around soon, but he didn't expect that the wind would continue to blow for a long time, and everyone's ears were filled with wind.

The soldiers said it was going to rain, and Li Mu believed it at first, but in the middle of the night, there was still not a drop of rain outside, and a few stars could even be seen faintly in the sky.

This made Li Mu extremely surprised, but he didn't think much of it. After blowing the wind outside, he prepared to go back to sleep in the cramped bunker.

But a soldier came out to go to the toilet, found a corner to drain water, but said something suddenly.

"Damn it, why did you pee in the gas mask?" The man threw the backpack with the gas mask behind his back, but Li Mu shivered violently.

poison gas!

Such a strong wind happened to be blowing towards their own position. How could those people let go of such a good opportunity?

This month, the two sides have conducted several gas warfare confrontations. The Germans used chlorine gas bombs, while the British used mustard gas. Both gases are extremely harmful to people.

Li Mu figured this out, and immediately greeted a few sentries, and they paid attention to the situation of the position, but at this moment, the sound of the roar of the plane came from the sky.

Li Mu's eyes widened, he rushed into the bunker, knocked on the bed inside with his spear, and shouted loudly.

"Get up, put on your gas masks, those Brits are poisoned!"
