Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1683 1684 In the trench

The twisted trenches are the nightmare of all soldiers. Both the defending and the attacking sides are repeatedly tortured by this primitive fortification.

In fact, if you talk seriously, there are corresponding trench tactics, but these methods cannot guarantee victory.

The terrain was uneven to begin with, and trenches were scattered like centipedes. Many desperate dwarf soldiers were hiding in their ear holes, but they had no intention of surrendering.

Because they knew that behind them was Ironforge, which was the most sacred place in their hearts. No matter what the reason was, they had to defend it and try their best to prevent the enemy from setting foot on the sacred territory for them.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Tang army also had their reasons to continue fighting. They came from afar just to present a resounding victory to their emperor.

No matter how much it costs, they will attack! This is the best proof of their loyalty to the emperor, for the myth of the invincibility of the Tang Empire, and for the first great unification of the world.

Both sides were constantly sending more troops into the trenches that had become scorched earth. The land there had been softened by artillery shells, and the air there was filled with a choking, unpleasant smell.

In the twisted trench, a Tang army soldier was struggling to move forward holding a rifle. He had to stay focused at all times, because a moment of carelessness could cause him to die here forever.

He adjusted his breathing, and every breath was a torment to his lungs. He observed the front through the peephole on his rifle and the corner of his eyes. He would pull the trigger and fire the bullet at the slightest sign of movement.

The familiar sound of the Maxim machine gun came from afar, as well as the echo of some Mosin-Nagant rifles - this meant that there were still dwarf soldiers in the trenches who were resisting stubbornly, and this place was still a long way from safety.

They continued to move forward along the trench, which was no longer so steep. The trench would turn in another direction every seven or eight steps. No one knew what was waiting for them at the next turning point, perhaps just a corpse, or perhaps an entire infantry squad of enemies.

Of course, in most cases, there is nothing behind the turning point, only some empty ammunition boxes and shells scattered on the ground. But even if there is nothing in most cases, no one dares to be careless even a little bit.

Because of the vision problem, the Tang army soldier walked very carefully, with his comrades following behind him. They rushed into the trench from the other end, eliminated several dwarf soldiers stationed there, and then killed their way along the trench to their current position.

Even though the Tang army had the advantage in firepower, even though they could use various advanced weapons to solve two-thirds of the troubles, in the end the soldiers still had to use their own flesh and blood to eliminate the remaining enemies.

Therefore, the Tang army's casualty rate has also soared recently. The closer they get to Ironforge, the more common it becomes for both sides to fight to the death.

"Fire! Fire! Do you see the tanks over there? Suppress the infantry behind the tanks! Cover our anti-tank soldiers!" Even from an unknown distance away, the shouts of the officers in the dwarf trench could be heard clearly.

The Tang soldier in the lead stopped, raised his forearms and clenched his fists to make a stop sign. Then he put down his rifle, pulled the grenade safety with both hands, and gestured forward to throw it.

The comrade behind him nodded to indicate that he understood, took out the grenade from the tactical vest on his chest, pulled the safety and waited to throw it together. The Tang army soldier in front also pulled out a grenade, held it in his hand and pulled the safety. Judging from the sound, the enemy should be not far from the next corner, about ten meters away.

They had no way to accurately estimate the enemy's position, and could only rely on probing. Throwing grenades was only to suppress the enemy, and then they would force their way in and risk their lives.

There was no other choice. After fighting all the way here, they had run out of grenades and could only use this method to deal with the enemy.

The two grenades flew out of the trench together, drew a beautiful parabola in the sky, and fell in the distance. As for whether the two grenades accurately fell into the trench over there, no one knew.

"Boom!" The first grenade exploded, and the raised dust proved that it did not fall into the trench. If it had rolled into the trench, the smoke and dust could not have spread to such a long distance.

The second grenade exploded as well. Two Tang soldiers rushed around the corner in a cloud of dust and pulled the trigger at the dwarf soldiers who had no idea where the attack was coming from.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" The sound of the Tang army's unique assault rifles echoed in the trenches, and the dwarf soldiers fell one after another without warning.

Blood splattered everywhere. A dwarf soldier who had just opened his grenade and had not yet thrown it was hit by a bullet. He fell to the ground and the grenade rolled to the corner of the wall.

No one cared about the grenade at this time. Several dwarf soldiers fled to the other side of the trench with their heads in their hands. The Maxim heavy machine gun that had been firing just now fell silent.

Just as the two Tang soldiers were about to chase, the grenade exploded in the trench. The ground shook and the Tang soldiers in the front were knocked to the ground by the shock wave.

He felt as if he had been hit by a truck and the world was spinning. His ears were buzzing, and when he regained consciousness, he was lying next to the body of a dwarf at the bottom of the trench.

"I seem to be injured." He said this subconsciously, but he couldn't hear his own voice, so he was not sure whether he actually said this.

His comrades were nervously talking in front of his face, but he couldn't hear anything. He couldn't feel any pain, so he didn't know where he was injured.

"I don't see any blood! Where are you hurt?" His comrade was shouting as loudly as he could, because both of their ears had become useless.

"Get up! If you lie here, you'll get hit by a grenade!" Seeing that he didn't respond, his comrade continued to shout loudly, "Hurry up and stand up! Damn it!"

"Damn it!" He looked up nervously and saw his comrades felt that this place was getting more and more dangerous. Those dwarf soldiers who were prepared were likely to come back and attack. They must have grenades, and they would soon be killed by countless enemies here.

So after a complaint, his comrade grabbed his bulletproof vest and dragged him backwards.
