C2659 Night Assault Order! (2/2)
”I have confidence in my soldiers. I firmly believe that they can survive through this long night!”
In the small French border city of Freeman, the garrison army had already exceeded three thousand. This was the town closest to the Salbrucon, and also the frontline of the war.
At this moment, most of the townspeople had already evacuated. The original five-thousand-strong town was left with a thousand nods, and the rest were all soldiers.
An earthen wall had already been erected at the outskirts of the town to prevent the attacks of the Prussian army cavalry. Behind the earthen wall that was half a man tall, the soldiers on duty stood on the tall watchtower, vigilantly looking into the distance.
On the other side of the wall, many soldiers with guns were leaning against the wall, sleeping on the ground under a blanket.
The night was getting darker and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. Suddenly, the sound of swaying straw could be heard in the distance!
”Who?” After the warning French was spoken, a bright flare flew up into the sky. The yellow phosphor rubbed against the air, emitting a pungent smell. Everything within a hundred steps was instantly illuminated.
The soldier's eyes were wide open as he stared at the light in the darkness. In the end, he did not discover anything.
”Dammit, is it a hare? ”Don't scare me so much …”
”It might be a beast …” I'm really weak in the head... ”The army should hurry up, don't make us so nervous!”
”Wait another day. Don't be anxious. Wait another day …” Tomorrow, the Second Army will arrive! ”
Just as the two lookout hand s were chatting and smoking, something strange was crawling forward in the patch of grass that had just turned dark.
”Get ready, sniper!” The attack started three minutes later, the first lookout hand to kill the enemy started … ”
”Prepare the grenade …” ”When the enemy infantrymen start to counterattack, throw...”
”Don't even think about sleeping with this group of French large nose tonight!”
The commander's eyes were closed as he counted the number of seconds he had to move. The snipers beside him had already equipped the observation sentry on the high wall into the scope, and the attacking brothers had already prepared their grenades.
”Fire!” After three minutes, the order was swiftly given.
Without a word, the sniper calmly pulled the trigger. Pa, pa, pa … A clear gunshot broke the silence of the night. There was no mistake at all at a distance of forty meters.
Ah … Amidst the screams, the observation sentry fell down from above. The soldiers behind the wall were immediately awakened!
”Where's the gunshot? West of the city... ”Quick, help, the 3rd Battalion, help the West City immediately …”
The whole small city was in chaos, but no one noticed that at the moment the sniper shot rang out, the hidden soldiers quickly rushed forward, and they were able to reach 40 meters in no time.
More than a dozen soldiers rushed to the edge of the wall and leaned against it without saying a word, listening to the chaos behind the wall. At that moment, a volley of guns extended from the top of their heads.
”Fire …” ”Fire …” The chaotic French military officers hurriedly gave out their orders.
Pah pah pah … The flames lit up above the soldiers' heads, and bullets shot out into the darkness. SPECIAL SERVICES, who was beneath the walls, had long pulled out her grenade and pulled the fuse.
”One, two, three … ”Throw it away!” The burning grenade was thrown upwards, easily and easily flying over the earthen wall that was half the height of a human.
