C2709 A warrior in the midst of slaughter! (2/2)
At the moment, the charging troops were completely disabled, and their officers had been completely exhausted. There were even a battalion of soldiers who had died in battle without even a single seed remaining!
The commanders of the other regiments, risking their lives, rushed to the forefront, blowing the retreat bugle and giving the order to retreat to these heavily injured troops.
The old Prussian soldier in the midst of the blood and fire looked at the mountain-like corpse beside him and looked at his company of 120 people. Finally, only himself remained!
Tears welled up in his eyes. Listening to the retreating bugle, his footsteps didn't waver in the slightest. It was as if he was rooted to the spot, standing on the charging line.
Picking up the flag of the company that was stained with blood from the pile of corpses, he walked up the stairs with a resolute expression on his face.
”Brothers, all of you are dead!” But our mission is not completed yet! ”
”Everyone attack! ”Charge with the banner …”
The vocal cords were already torn. When the veteran shouted, blood gushed out of his throat. He was running towards the French lines with the company's flag!
This scene shocked everyone present, even the French Machine gunner was shocked by this scene, and subconsciously, he aimed his gun and dodged the old veteran's attack!
”No!” Behind the veteran, countless corpses were screaming in despair. However, it was already too late. Just as the veteran was about to rush to the edge of the French army's sandbag positions!
Everyone saw with their own eyes, two figures of the French army jumping out from behind the sandbag, two bayonets piercing through his chest!
The life had already flown to heaven, the company flags were taken away, the arrogant French army ignited the flag of the Prussian army, and waved it towards him like a demonstration!
”My God!” The surviving Prussian army was shouting for their lives. In that moment, they forgot about everything, forgot about the horn for retreat. Everyone turned around and entered the battle again!
”We shall live and die together!” Those of us who come together will die in the same place! ”
Life had become an extremely cheap thing at this moment. No one would treasure it, not even themselves!
The commanders stared in despair at those disrespectful soldiers. They kneeled on the ground and smashed their fists onto the ground, their throats were choked with sobs and their eyes were filled with tears!
When Prince Karl, who was behind, saw all of this, his throat suddenly hurt so much that it tore at his lungs!
”This is the Prussian! This is our Prussian! ”
”People like us, if we don't rise up... Then we can only prove... God is not fair! ”
”Pass my orders! ”The artillery fire …”
”Your Highness!” The surrounding crowd cried out in alarm!
Prince Karl said resolutely, ”They are brave warriors of the Empire! They have already chosen to repay the nation with their deaths! ”
”I can't let their sacrifice be worthless! Fire! ”The artillery fire …”
At that moment, even the prince began to cry!
Boom! Boom! Boom! The specially made after-loading steel gun of the Krupp weapons factory let out an angry roar!
The French position was immediately engulfed in a sea of fire, engulfing both the France and himself!
