Expedition to Europe

Half an hour later, when Colonel Kanelevis of the 10th Bavarian Reserve Regiment arrived at the woods, only a mess remained.

Thirty-five bodies were neatly laid out on the ground.

The bodies were in disarray, and it was obvious that they had been searched. All equipment and valuables, including weapons, were swept away, especially the M1917 body armor that had just been equipped to the troops, which was all taken away.

There were also a few pairs of shoes thrown on the ground next to them, which looked like German equipment. It was estimated that the person who took out the shoes was despised, and these pairs of shoes were not taken away.

A little further away, there was a German body lying on the ground, and next to it was a motorcycle that was almost broken, which looked like it was ambushed.

"Clean up here and get ready to move on." Colonel Carnevale looked gloomy. Looking at the bloodstained corpse, he took off his gloves and fanned his nose, frowning in disgust, hating the mean guy who had already escaped, but didn't know which unit he belonged to.

"Yes, Colonel." An officer took the order and called dozens of soldiers to help carry the corpse.

The one next to the motorcycle was lifted first because it looked the cleanest.

Even if it was a corpse, people would habitually look for a cleaner one.

Ta...

As soon as the corpse was lifted, almost everyone heard the sound of a spring touching.

"****..." The officer cursed angrily, and just as he was about to warn, he was pushed down by someone.

"Boom..."

The grenade under the corpse finally exploded, and the four soldiers who were carrying the corpses wailed while holding their thighs or abdomens. Because of the cover of the corpse, their upper bodies were not fatally injured, but the distance was always too close, and their lower bodies had been blown into a hornet's nest. The calf of one soldier was blown off...

"God, save me..." The wounded soldier wailed.

"Military doctor..." Someone was calling for help.

"Don't move those corpses, there are bombs underneath." Someone reminded.

"Everyone retreat, retreat." Someone warned.

As soon as the explosion sounded, the Germans who were originally orderly suddenly became a mess. Most of them were looking for shelters, some of them were on guard with guns, and some panicked recruits even raised their guns and shot at the surrounding forest area.

Bang bang bang...

Boom boom... Boom...

The appearance of gunfire further aggravated the degree of chaos, and coupled with the sudden explosions, the Germans were even more chaotic.

After a long while, the frightened soldiers calmed down under the officer's harsh rebuke.

In just a short while, the Germans suffered more than a dozen casualties.

These casualties were caused by the booby traps triggered by the soldiers who were looking for shelter.

As if they could foresee all this, the booby traps were set behind the stones on the roadside, at the bottom of the craters, and even in the woods. When the panicked German soldiers went to those places to find shelter, all kinds of booby traps would be triggered, causing more serious casualties.

"Damn it, this bunch of bastards!" Kane Levis cursed at the soldiers in chaos, not knowing whether he was cursing the enemy who had not seen a shadow yet, or cursing the soldiers on his side who were too unsightly.

"What a pity, boss, if we rush over and fight for a while now, how many can we kill?" The scout who was ambushing in the dark lamented.

"Don't even think about it, there are more than a thousand of them, and one person's spit can drown the four of us." Liu Shuangxi was calm.

In the battle just now, Liu Shuangxi and his team wiped out all 35 German soldiers, and only two of them were injured. Now the injured have been sent to the rear on motorcycles, and only four of them are left here to monitor.

"Colonel, this way." Kane Levis heard someone calling him, so he went over.

"Be careful, Colonel, look here." A sergeant was lying under a big tree.

In front of the sergeant was a simple firing device, a fuse that seemed to be only as thick as a hair was connected to a grenade covered with branches and leaves. If someone passed by here and tripped over the fuse without paying attention, the fuse would pull a branch that had been stretched into a bow shape, and the other end of the branch was connected to the pull ring of the grenade, and the grenade would be pulled.

"This person is very insidious and cunning, and has rich combat experience. I think we have met our opponent." The sergeant carefully removed the grenade, confirmed that there were no other traps, and gently picked up the grenade.

This is a wooden-handled grenade equipped by the German army. Needless to say, this is the equipment of the German soldiers who died in the battle, which was modified into a trap. The sergeant turned around and looked around the forest area in front of him. He didn't dare to go in, because he couldn't be sure how many such traps there were in the woods. Maybe there were a lot, maybe there was none, but in any case, he couldn't prove it with his life.

"Maybe it's not this person, but a group of people." The sergeant looked ugly.

To become a sergeant, generally, you have served in the army for at least ten years. As a veteran, the sergeant suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Continue to send scouts to scout forward, and the brigade will gather and follow." Kane Levis was decisive.

The reconnaissance unit was completely wiped out when it encountered the enemy, and the enemy suffered very few losses. This result was unacceptable to Kanelevis. The 10th Bavarian Reserve Regiment was a supplementary unit of the 17th Bavarian Division; the 17th Bavarian Division was the vanguard of the 7th Army, so the 10th Bavarian Reserve Regiment was equivalent to the vanguard of the 7th Army, and the reconnaissance mission should have been undertaken by this unit.

"The number of scouts must be increased, at least in companies." The sergeant major suggested.

It is the sergeant major's duty to make suggestions to officers, and usually, officers will listen to the sergeant major's suggestions.

The same is true for Kanelevis. After the sergeant major made a suggestion, the scouts sent by the 10th Bavarian Reserve Regiment were in companies.

Increasing the number of reconnaissance troops is still very effective. Not long after the first reconnaissance unit set out, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded in front, and dozens of German soldiers fell in the German search line immediately.

Then, he heard the rumbling sound of a motorcycle engine going away. Kane Levis took two quick steps, jumped onto a stone on the side of the road, picked up a telescope and looked around, only to see dust flying in the distance.

This explosion was more serious, about 20 people were killed on the spot, and more than 30 people were injured.

Seeing the wounded in front of him, Kane Levis felt palpitations.

The wounded were covered with small wounds as big as soybeans, and the density was like a kitchen colander; and all the wounds exposed to the outside were bleeding wildly, like a sprinkler for watering flowers.

This time, there was no need to rescue them, and they could not be saved at all. At most, in one minute, the wounded would die of excessive blood loss. Instead of this time, it would be better to call the priest to pray.

After seeing the location of the explosion, Kane Levis was even more scared.

This explosion point is almost a directional blasting device, with a fan-shaped launch port aimed at the entire road. If I had been careless and marched forward directly, then when the bomb exploded...

Kane Levis shook his head, not daring to think about it any further.
