Chapter 29: Escaping Death (Revision)
Although the soldiers of the French search and rescue team were still able to fight bravely, the French defense line was gradually unable to support under the wave charge of the German battalion.
The bloody positions were still in the hands of the French, but almost everyone knew that they would no longer be able to withstand the next German attack, and the only hope now was that the Germans would not strike again at night.
Although the French search and rescue team had almost no ability to resist, the German artillery was still bombarding the small French position.
Bodies were thrown into the air under artillery fire, torn into small pieces by sharp shrapnel, and the ferocious artillery fire heralded a larger attack by the German infantry.
When night fell, and the court fell into a deathly silence, the French defense team received an order from the lieutenant of the rescue team to rush to the assembly point in the night.
"Keep up, follow me......"
At this time, there were only three soldiers left under Tang Yunyang, plus Frank. Luke, they quickly retreated along the trench to the final assembly point.
Obviously, if reinforcements arrived, the French army would no longer be able to support them.
"Don, I don't understand, aren't they here to take back their people? Why are their cannons so fierce? ”
Tang Yunyang walked at the back of the team with the two box cannons in his hands.
Yes, the reaction of the Germans now also surprised him a little, it seems that they are not just planning to eat this small French search and rescue force, so what is their purpose?
"Seriously, Luke, I don't know what these guys are going to do, but one thing is for sure, it's definitely not for us. What they are for, it seems that we will not know until the assembly point. ”
After playing for a long time, Frank. Luke can see what his partner is capable of. Although he didn't know what Tang Yunyang did before, it seems that today, whether in the sky or on the ground, his combat ability has a first-class level.
"Don, do you think we can go back? It's completely dark now! ”
"Dear Luke, I don't know if we can go back, but if you keep chattering like this, I think we'll fall into the hands of the Germans!"
The assembly points of the French search and rescue teams are now "full of wounded", and all bunkers are filled with wounded. ** Among the crowd were not only Allied pilots, but also German pilots, not including a considerable number of French soldiers who fought against the Germans.
"We're already surrounded, and we don't think we have the ability to break through with the wounded, so we're just waiting here for help! As far as I can guess, our call for help will arrive at dawn, so we may have a long night, guys. ”
At this time, the French lieutenants seemed to have lost their desire for rank and military merit, and now they were surrounded by the German army.

The smell of blood permeated the entire bunker, as well as the foul smell of mud on the clothes as it was dried in the hot bunker.
Tang Yunyang, who came in to smoke a cigarette, was shocked by these scenes that he had only seen on the battlefield. Still oozing with blood gauze, small candlelight, and a sweltering hole, filled with the stench of despair from the hole.
The wounded turned gray one by one, and their half-opened, half-closed eyes showed a look of exhaustion and fear. The wounded pilots who had come in earlier, after most of the war, seemed to have completely lost hope. There was more indifference than on the part of the French, and they probably no longer thought about what would happen to them.
"No, it's ...... here"
Tang Yunyang took out his flight suit from his small bag, which was much warmer than the coat that ordinary French soldiers had at night.
Outside, the Germans did not seem to notice that the French had abandoned the front line, and the shells not only did not slow to explode on the empty positions in front.
"Don, it seems to be quite warm inside!"
Frank who followed behind Tang Yunyang. Luke took out his flight suit and put it on his body, while muttering quietly behind Tang Yunyang. Also, almost half a day of air battles in front of you, and almost half a day of land battles in the back, can already consume almost all the hopes of any person.
When hope fades into the heart, the negative emotions of cold, frustration, and sorrow will completely envelop the heart, especially in the darker and colder of the night.
Tang Yunyang restrained the pressure brought to him by the scene just now, and reached out to hug Frank. Luke's shoulders tightened wordlessly.
Subsequently, Tang Yunyang borrowed two shovels from the infantry, dug out a "sleeping pit" that the infantry often used, and then took him and Frank. The rain in Luke's pocket was covered with rain.
Huddled in the sleeping pit that had just been dug, neither of them spoke much. I just feel that in the dark, everyone can't see each other's faces, and in this case, or they think that the other party is still brave, then you can muster up the courage to persevere.
The body temperature of the two people, the two leather flight suits covering their bodies, and the shelter of the rain cloth, the temperature in the "sleeping pit" slowly rose to the extent that they wanted to make people sleep.
"Trust me, my brother, we can get out! Tomorrow, tomorrow I promise we will not stay in the muddy trenches again. ”
"Yes, I know, I always knew!"
Tang Yunyang's words were like prophecies, and in the middle of the night, the gunshots suddenly remembered and were extremely violent. Soon after, more artillery fire shattered the rare moment of silence on the battlefield.
Indeed, as the lieutenant of the French search and rescue force said, they were surrounded by the Germans, and the Zengyuan troops were kept out of the circle.
Therefore, in the evening assault, the French army obviously invested a lot of money, because they sent a "hunter regiment".
Although the "Hunters" were only a battalion in strength, their mission was to break through enemy lines for the French infantry regiment and to pick up the wounded.
The armored vehicles discharged the attacking wedge-shaped formation, the firing of large-caliber machine guns became more intense at night, the whistling of mortar shells on the company-level fire support vehicles was clear and sharp, and the sound of the 75-mm guns of the battalion-level fire support vehicles was long.
The German defense, defended by two companies behind the besieged French army, collapsed in an instant.
"OMG! They're finally here! ”
As soon as he lifted the rain cloth above his head and leaned out, Tang Yunyang shouted happily, and the distant firelight reflected his face. But when he saw the monsters in the fire, the German soldiers forced them to abandon their positions, and he had a question in his heart.
"Is the French going to attack in this direction?"
