Desertion, although the term has always been taboo within the army during World War I, is often mentioned in private by soldiers.

According to historical statistics, the number of German deserters in the Battle of the Somme alone was about 200,000 to 25.

Of course, most of the deserters appeared in the later stages of the campaign, when despite the presence of the Governors, there were too many deserters to take care of it, but now that the war had just begun, once a deserter appeared, he would soon be caught and sent to a court-martial.

Germany was much more severe than Britain and France in sentencing deserters, and even if they were lucky enough not to be shot, they would be assigned to a special unit similar to a "death row camp".

Such troops, to put it bluntly, are often placed in forward positions with the highest mortality rates, or forced by the muzzles behind them to charge at enemy positions - and, in order to prevent mutiny, these soldiers are not armed.

Qi Lin glared at the soldier and said sharply, "If you don't want to be shot by the Overseer, then don't say this kind of thing again!" ”

"But if you continue to fight, you will die, and if you escape, you may survive!" The soldier suddenly shouted, and Qi Lin immediately pulled out the officer's pistol he had just picked up and put it on his head.

However, in the next second, several other German soldiers around him immediately pointed their guns at Qi Lin.

"I'm sorry, corporal, if you want to fight for your country, then go alone, maybe when you die in battle, you will be posthumously awarded the Iron Cross...... Now, let Koch go! Another tall German soldier put the muzzle of his gun on Qi Lin's shoulder and said with a sneer.

"Good...... Good...... I'll let go, you calm down...... We don't need to be infighting......"

Qi Lin said as he slowly moved the muzzle of the gun down, however, at the moment when the muzzle of the gun was removed from Koch's head, Qi Lin suddenly flicked his wrist and fired a shot at the chest of the guy who threatened him, and then, he quickly squatted down, and the trench staff in his other hand was centered on his body, and he pulled out an arc close to three hundred and sixty degrees!

The hard metal staff smashed the soldier's knees, and they immediately fell down screaming, while Qi Lin used his fastest speed to make up a shot in the head of each of them.

The mutiny has already happened, and the two sides have torn their faces, Qi Lin has no need to show mercy to his subordinates, not to mention, these so-called "German soldiers" are just a bunch of data simulated by computers.

"Okay, now it's time to fight alone again......"

Qi Lin sighed, stuffed the Luger P08 pistol that originally belonged to the second lieutenant into his belt, and was about to leave, when a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the trench.

It's a tank! Just when Qi Lin and the Indians were fighting in the trenches, the British tanks had already advanced here!

Qi Lin immediately squatted down, collected all the grenades on the dead German soldiers, then pressed his hand on the wound, wiped the blood on his face, leaned in the trench, and pretended to be a corpse.

A male Mark I. Qi Lin drove directly above, and the British soldiers following the tank immediately jumped into the trench, but at this moment, a German "corpse" suddenly jumped down, pulled out a pistol and fired repeatedly, killing all the British soldiers who jumped into the trench first!

"There are enemies here!"

With the call of the British, the surrounding soldiers immediately ran over, but at this time, Qi Lin had already jumped out of the trench and ran behind the Mark I tank that had just driven past at the inhuman speed of an evolutionary.

The Mark I tank has machine guns in the front and rear, but the number of crew members in the car is very limited, and most of them need to work for the tank, and there are not many people who can actually control the weapon.

Qi Lin quickly pulled the grenade's pull ring and stuffed the grenade into the observation hole at the back of the tank.

In modern warfare, trying to get close to a tank and stuff a grenade into it is almost impossible to do so, but this time is different, the Mark I, as the first tank to be put into real combat, itself still has many imperfections - weak armor, slow speed, frequent breakdowns, and most importantly, the tank crew's vision is too narrow.

Unlike modern tanks, which have a variety of means of detection, the crew of the Mark I had to see the outside only through the observation holes on the tank, which created a large number of opportunities for the enemy.

During World War I, there were even cases where bullets entered through observation holes, causing ricochets inside the tank and injuring several tank crews.

A bullet that gets into the inside of a tank may not kill everyone in a tank, but an M24 grenade is definitely enough.

After Qi Lin threw the grenade, he went directly to the front of the tank, and at this time, the British soldiers who were chasing after him still crossed the trench and kept shooting at Qi Lin.

Qi Lin used the tank as a cover, from time to time leaned out to shoot, every time the gun rang out, a British soldier would fall to the ground, when Qi Lin leaned out for the fifth time, he was surprised to find that those British soldiers were all retreating into the trenches, not daring to show their heads.

No one is not afraid of death, the Germans are like this, and the British are no exception.

Taking advantage of this gap, Qi Lin took out the remaining grenades, directly opened the fuse and threw them over, dozens of meters away, and all of these grenades accurately fell into the narrow trench with a width of only about one meter and a half.

This may require years of hard training for ordinary soldiers, but for evolutionaries, it is just a matter of shaking off their hands.

Qi Lin also deliberately separated the landing points of each grenade, so that even if the British hid behind the corner of the trench, they would not be able to avoid the grenade exploding from the other side.

After throwing the grenade, Qi Lin ran to the rear without looking at it - it was very unsafe to continue to stay here, this position could be bombarded by shells at any time, and if it was killed by a shell that didn't have a long eye, it would be too unjust.

Qi Lin ran out for nearly 100 meters in one breath before jumping into a relatively backward trench, but as soon as he jumped into the trench, Qi Lin found that there were seven or eight soldiers squatting in this trench, they were wearing long gray trench coats, special armbands on their arms, and the insignia of their helmets was different from ordinary soldiers.

These people are all "gendarmes...... That is, what the soldiers call - "Overseers".
