The British soldiers marched straight in until they reached about 90 meters in front of the position. Because there was a barbed wire fence there, they slowed down a little.
Unfortunately, they noticed the barbed wire fence but not their feet.
When they were just approaching, they felt their feet slip and their bodies slid uncontrollably in all directions. It turned out that Liu Zhenming was too bad. He asked his soldiers to pour cold water in front of the barbed wire fence every day. After a few days, this area became...
A small skating rink was formed.
The British soldiers were not wearing skates, so as soon as they stepped here, they started dancing like crazy.
One soldier was caught off guard. He fell forward and his neck was hung on the iron wire. Immediately, the thin iron wire became a life-threatening rope. From his skin, it was deeply strangled into his throat. Blood,
It sprayed out along his neck.
The first British victim who attacked the Chinese position did not die at gunpoint, but died on the barbed wire fence.
However, this is just the beginning of death.
Liu Zhenming, who was in the trench, saw the British troops panicking, but they would still be polite. He immediately lightly pulled the trigger, and with a bang, an officer in the scope fell down.
"beat!"
Short and powerful orders burst out from his mouth, and in an instant, countless bullets emerged from the Chinese positions and flew towards the British soldiers who were still in chaos.
Da da da…
The machine gunners were no longer polite. Two heavy machine guns formed a crossfire, pouring bullets mercilessly towards the barbed wire fence area. The power of hundreds of rounds per minute continued to kill all the invading enemies in front of them.
The British soldiers fell down in pieces in the chaos, and the blood began to dye the white ground red. Like plum blossoms, they kept blooming. In the tragic places, the blood even began to gather into a blood river.
The sounds of painful struggles, helpless cries, and angry curses sounded simultaneously in front of the barbed wire fence. As soon as the British soldiers set foot on the soil of British Columbia, Liu Zhenming taught them a vivid lesson: Never
Look down on your opponents.
This tuition fee is a living life.
Canadian brigade commander Steve was constantly dispatching attacking troops from the rear. Originally, he had great expectations for the Chinese position. He hoped to be able to break through from this direction.
Unfortunately, this hope turned into a painful memory at this moment.
Wei Shijie and ten other snipers were lurking throughout the trenches, constantly killing British officers within sight. Every time a gunshot was fired, a non-commissioned officer or above would be killed. This behavior made the surviving British officers
They were all terrified, fearing that a bullet fired from any corner would kill them.
"Retreat, retreat!" the major commander yelled hoarsely with a pale face. In just ten minutes, in just ten minutes, dozens of our own people fell here, while the other side seemed to have suffered no losses.
If the consumption continues like this, hundreds of people will be lost in one day. This is a dangerous place. It is not at all the best breakthrough location as previously thought.
Like a rising tide rushing in, or like an ebbing tide rushing away, if it weren't for the corpses left on the snow, no one would have believed that the war here was over.
"General Weir. The British troops attacking the Chinese positions have retreated." A soldier reported to Weir.
"What did you say?" Weir raised his telescope with a look of disbelief. In all his positions, the British were still trying to break through.
He couldn't believe what he saw. On the Chinese position, the British soldiers supported each other and retreated quickly.
"Let Liu send soldiers to support him!" Weir was not going to be polite to Liu Zhenming, and he made a decision immediately.
A signal soldier was ordered to gallop quickly to deliver the message.
On the British army's position, the Indian Gandhi began to get busy...
"Quick, damn you guys, haven't you seen that my soldiers are in urgent need of medical treatment?" a captain angrily scolded the Indians.
"Sir, let's send him to the field hospital right now!" Gandhi knew that these people were emotionally unstable at this time. He did not dare to say a harsh word, but nodded and walked forward quickly.
Seeing the miserable condition of these British soldiers, he couldn't help but secretly wonder who could injure them like this. Gandhi looked at the defensive position with barbed wire and remembered that position firmly.
At the British frontline headquarters, Steve was also furious.
"Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes. You only attacked for fifteen minutes and then retreated. Do you still want me to teach you how to attack?" Steve's mouthful of spittle sprayed onto the major's face.
"Colonel Steve, the enemy's firepower is too fierce and the soldiers have suffered too many casualties. I can't think of any other way except retreat." Although the major looked ashamed, he still argued with reason because he felt that his choice was not wrong.
"Without casualties, there will be victory!" Steve suppressed the anger in his chest noncommittally and snorted: "You watch here to see how others attack, and rest and prepare the troops for the second attack.
attack."
"Yes, sir." The major responded solemnly.
Since this time it was just a trial attack, the main purpose was to explore the defensive loopholes in various areas of the position so as to prepare for the next attack, so Steve didn't say anything more. Moreover, Steve also saw the situation, but he just thought for a moment.
Just can't accept it.
…
"Obviously, the Chinese defenses are much better than those of the Fenians." On the high ground behind Dafang, Douglass continued to make various judgments based on his own observations and news from the front line from time to time.
.
After he praised it, he then said in a subtle way: "However, there are many loopholes in the entire defensive front. The most important loophole is where the Chinese thugs and rebel positions border. That's where we will attack next.
direction."
"The general agrees that we do not need to attack the Chinese positions from the front to avoid increasing casualties. After breaking through from the border, we can attack the Chinese positions from the flanks. In this way, all the frontal fortifications they built will be ineffective."
…
While Douglas was constantly adjusting his deployment, the atmosphere at the Self-Rescue Army's position seemed very relaxed.
"Dear me, the British team is just like this. The momentum before really shocked me. Who knew they were all embroidered pillows?"
"Yes, my hand holding the gun was not yet warm, and they retreated."
"Heavy machine guns are still powerful. Most of the corpses in front were caused by heavy machine guns."
"Have you not seen that those snipers are also very powerful?"
"They follow the leader every day. If they don't learn some skills, even God will not let them go."
"Look what you said!"
…
The soldiers took advantage of the rare interval to chat softly and share their previous combat experiences. After a small test of their skills, the British were repulsed. This made the soldiers who had been nervous for a month very excited.
After Weir sent someone to ask for help, Liu Zhenming sent out the sniper team. These snipers knew how to protect themselves, and Liu Zhenming had already given orders. The Fenians did not have to listen to unreasonable orders.
Mainly because Liu Zhenming allowed them to roam across the entire front and continuously create merit points for himself.
However, Liu Zhenming's painstaking efforts were not understood by Weir. When he saw ten Chinese soldiers standing in front of him with a careless look, he was so angry that he could hardly speak. Isn't this contempt for people?
Either you just refuse to accept the call, or you send more people, like ten soldiers, to help.
"You guys, just find a place and join the battlefield yourself." Weir's face became completely downcast, and he waved his hands indiscriminately, telling Wei Shijie and others to go down.
At the same time, he secretly scolded Liu Zhenming for not caring about the overall situation.
Wei Shijie and others saluted and quickly turned around and left.
"Li Zhen, you go over there, Zhang Se, you stay here... Remember, if the position is breached, move immediately." Wei Shijie quickly made arrangements. He was not too surprised by Weir's reaction, and
Weir's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.
Soon, ten snipers were lurking throughout the Fenian trenches.
