Chapter 684 07.683: “Give someone a taste of their own medicine”

Old man Qiao kept changing his position, inserting the copper stethoscope into the soil at different locations.

The night was dark, and the battlefield was filled with the smell of dampness and decay. A breeze blew by, bringing with it the smell of distant gunpowder.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He quickly raised his finger and pointed to a certain section of the trench, his face full of determination.

Seeing this, the Krieg soldiers quickly spread out on both sides of the target area and entered combat status.

They gripped their weapons tightly, held their breath, and prepared for battle.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
The faint sound of a shovel digging the soil could be heard coming from underground.

The sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night.

As if worried about being noticed by the Kriegs, the sound quickly disappeared, replaced by a rustling sound of digging the soil, at an even lower volume. The sound was like a mouse running underground, rustling and making a chill down one’s spine.

Seeing this, Horatio raised his hand to signal the soldiers surrounding him that the battle was about to begin.

Old man Joe also tactfully retreated behind the Krieg soldiers. He hunched his body slightly, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes as he looked around.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and prevent the enemy from counterattacking the cave entrance, everyone quietly retreated to the bunkers or cat-ear holes on both sides and waited quietly.

The battlefield was dead silent, with only the occasional sound of wind and sporadic artillery fire in the distance.

The sound of digging soil was getting closer and closer, and a red light flashed in Horatio’s hand, and the Holy Blood Chainsaw Sword quietly appeared.

The chain saw turned slowly, making a low humming sound, like the low roar of a beast before hunting.

The Krieg soldier next to him also took out an engineer shovel from his waist bag and held it tightly in his hand, ready to use it to chop off the traitor’s head at any time.

Boom!Boom!
Behind the logs used to reinforce the inner walls of the trench, there was suddenly the sound of an axe driving piles, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

The sound broke the brief calm and made people’s heart beat faster.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Almost at the same time, the enemy’s artillery fired a round of artillery fire at the loyalist positions.

The shells, with long tails of flame, cut through the night sky and fell with a whistling sound.

The flames of the explosion instantly illuminated the entire battlefield, thick smoke rose up, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Such bombardments were not uncommon on the front lines at night, whether for simple harassment, to disrupt the besiegers’ rest and rest, or to cover up other activities.

Amid the roar of artillery shells hitting the ground.

Boom!
A dull loud noise was heard.

Then there was a click! a bang!

The directional blasting explosives exploded in the trench. The powerful impact force flew wood chips everywhere and hit the inner wall of the trench hard.

If Horatio had led his men to surround the cave entrance directly nearby, they would have been blown up into the sky by now.

A Tzeentchian death squad member wearing a human skin gas mask and heavy spiked armor carefully poked his head out of the cave.

He looked around vigilantly, his eyes full of caution.

After making sure that there was no one in this trench, he immediately called out to the people behind him, and the subsequent commandos began to file out of the narrow hole.

There was no loud shout, but an order was silently conveyed to the soldiers.

With the barely audible sound of the plectrum vibrating, more than a dozen grenades were thrown out from behind the bunker, drawing arcs in the air and landing in the trench in front.

In an instant, explosions rang out one after another, flames shot into the sky, and shrapnel flew all over the trench like deadly hidden weapons.

The explosions stopped for a moment, and then a series of shrill howls were heard.

The two ambushed Krieg soldiers immediately rushed out like tigers and quickly pulled the trigger at the enemy who was crawling out of the pit.

“Not good!” a rebel commando shouted in horror.

“Charge out! Uh-huh!!! For the eternal truth!” The leading burly man in heavy armor with spikes, waving a homemade trench stick, let out an angry roar and rushed towards the Kriegs like a mad beast.

His face was hideous and there was a mad light in his eyes.

Laser beams shot out from the muzzles of their guns, shooting towards the enemy.

However, although the Krieg’s Lucius laser gun has an energy-gathering function and is more powerful than a standard laser gun, it is now in a continuous-fire mode to ensure the continuity of firepower, and it is too late to adjust it to an energy-storage attack mode.

The standard power laser hit this heavy armor, which was a further improvement based on military carapace and had excellent protection against lasers. It only left a smoking burn mark and failed to stop the attackers.

The sturdy man just shook his body slightly, then continued to rush towards the defenders madly under the laser.

Suddenly, a grenadier rushed out from the corner of the trench like a ghost.

The soldier took out a pitch-black engineer shovel, the blade of which had been carefully polished and gleamed coldly in the dim light.

Seeing a short man blocking his way, the sturdy man yelled angrily, picked up the spiked stick and swung it at the grenadier’s head.

The grenadier simply took a step back, kicked up a handful of mud with his big leather shoes, and leaned back slightly to avoid the attack.

Boom! The spiked rod wheel made a heavy muffled sound on the wooden support beside it, and a piece of wood was directly broken.

It is conceivable that if the stick hit the head, the helmet would probably be dented and the head inside would turn into a pool of paste.

After maintaining his balance, the grenadier took a step forward with his backhand and swung his shovel at the huge guy in front of him.

The two men engaged in a swift attack and defense in the narrow trench, and sparks flew from the metal of the engineer shovel and the spiked rod.

Suddenly, the grenadier turned on the lamp hanging on his chest, and a dazzling golden light shone directly on the traitor’s face.

“Wow!” the sturdy man shouted, and suddenly there was a dazzling light in front of his eyes, and he couldn’t see his opponent clearly.

When he suddenly raised his head and tried to raise his spiked arm armor to block, the engineering shovel had already fallen from mid-air.

The grenadier leaped into the air, and his sturdy arms, with a hint of cold light, swung down in an instant.

puff! ——

With a dull crack, the rebel commando leader slowly fell to the bottom of the trench. His heavy body crushed the wooden board under his feet that had long been unable to bear the weight. His head stuck into the sewage in the gutter. The white brain matter and blood-red blood mixed in the sewage and were washed out of the trench.

Buzz! Buzz! With the roar and tearing sound of the motor, after a brief close combat, Horatio used the Holy Blood Chainsword alone to tear apart the rebels rushing to the other end of the trench.

They are like rats. If all entrances and exits are not blocked, they will run everywhere and cause trouble to the entire front.

The flamethrower engineers, carrying heavy liquid promethium tanks, quickly ran from the logistics trench to this area.

Armed with large flamethrowers, they, under the cover of other Krieg soldiers, spewed long streams of purifying flame into the hole.

For the rebel soldiers in the cave, it was an intimate greeting from death.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!” a shrill scream came from the cave.

The raging flames rushed into the cave like a fire dragon. The rebels curled up and squirming inside were quickly pacified by the fire dragon after a long wailing and the smell of barbecue.

By the time Horatio stepped on the corpse and approached the cave, it was already blocked by fire.

boom!
Boom.

Something inside the cave seemed to have ignited and exploded, splashing mud high into the uninhabited area in the distance.

“The enemy seems to be trying to plant explosives under our position. God bless us, we have uncovered their plot.” The staff officer came over in a crouching position, holding an officer’s laser pistol that looked like an artillery Luger and was very small.

“Since the enemy can dig a tunnel to us, we can also dig through!” Horatio looked at the cave entrance thoughtfully.

“We’ve done this before. The Krieg are very good at digging tunnels for surprise attacks. Maybe the 1313th Infantry Regiment has an unfinished tunnel.”

“Grenadier.” Horatio looked at the taciturn grenadier, “Does the 1313th have any unfinished tunnels?”

The Grenadier nodded.

“Do you know where it is?”

The Grenadier continued to nod.

“Great! Let the soldiers continue to dig these tunnels. We need to dig them from multiple points underground to under the enemy’s position! This will help us break through the position next time, and they will play a crucial role in the surprise attack!”
