Chapter 655 Smart Man (Part 2)

Baudouin really wanted to rush up and kick Lucien and Claude in the butts, and then drag them to the front by their ears to die. But he didn't have the courage to stand up. After all, he was on the front line and must be the Russians' first target. He didn't want to stand up and die.

So he could only yell and curse loudly, and kept ordering Lucien and Claude to move forward, but the cunning Gascon kept fighting with him haha:

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you, please speak louder!"

Baudouin almost had a cerebral congestion attack. They were only twenty meters apart, and he was shouting at the top of his lungs, but he couldn't hear anything. Besides, the Russians haven't made any moves yet. They haven't fired a gun or fired a cannon. There's no noise at all. There's no interference at all, okay?

"Damn Gascon bastard!" Baudoin muttered there, "He did it on purpose, just pretending not to hear! Just wait for me, go back and see how I deal with you!"

Baudoin had made up his mind. As long as he could return alive and Claude left the battlefield alive, he would definitely find the military police to send this bastard to a military court and let him sit in jail.

When his thoughts were broken, the fifth company on Baudoin's right had already approached the Russian barbed wire fence before him, which made Baudoin's blood pressure soar again. This is tantamount to directly stealing his limelight. He also wants to perform well in front of the group leader and strive for promotion!

It's better now, let's let our mortal enemy Antoine take the lead!

"Damn it, it's all Claude's fault, I can't spare you!"

While Baudouin was gritting his teeth, the Russian army, which had been silent for a long time on the battlefield, finally reacted. With a few dull roars, several mortar shells fell on Antoine's company. Suddenly, people were tumbling on their backs and their limbs were flying. .

Baudouin immediately felt mentally balanced, and even secretly rejoiced: "I let you steal the limelight, now you feel good!"

Compared with Baudouin's secret joy, the soldiers in his company were not happy at all. Even though it was Antoine's men who were being beaten now, who can guarantee that the Russians will not use the same method to deal with them next? Woolen cloth?

These days, they have fully understood how terrible the Russian mortars are. Not only do they explode, but they also have a lot of shrapnel. Basically, one shell can take away seven or eight of their people. This is still a loose stance. If they stand firmly In a dense formation, one shot can take away ten or twenty brothers.

Claude poked Lucien and motioned for the big man to lower his head: "Don't look, it will be our turn soon. The Russians will not be polite to Baudouin!"

Lucien shrank his neck obediently and asked a little uneasily: "Baudouin has gone crazy. Will there be any trouble when we go back?"

Claude laughed playfully and said disdainfully: "Don't worry, I've already cleared up the relationship with the military police. There's nothing he can do!"

Lucien was immediately filled with admiration. What he admired most about Claude was his ability to build relationships. He bribed the head of the military police with cigarettes, coffee and good wine early in the morning. Baudoin could not help but be angry every time.

Lucien found it funny just thinking about Baudouin being so angry that he was so angry that he stared at his eyes and couldn't do anything. He suddenly laughed out loud.

"Stop laughing, the Russians are firing!"

Claude said as he pulled Lucien again. Before Lucien could react, several mortar shells fell around them. With a huge roar, a large wave of air swept over and sprayed them both. One head and one face.

But that's alright. The other unprepared people in the company were either blown away by the air waves and shock waves, or were blown into bloody men. In comparison, Claude and Lucien were already considered the most comfortable people. .

The brief bombardment soon stopped. At this time, no one of the Frenchmen on the front line dared to stand up straight. Even a bastard like Baudouin huddled up with his head in his hands. After a while, everything calmed down. Only then did he look up tremblingly.

"Don't be stunned, stand up quickly, keep moving forward, move forward!"

Even though this guy was shouting loudly, his body didn't move, so it was certainly impossible for others to move.

Baudoin shouted until his voice became hoarse, but he didn't find anyone listening to him. Naturally, he was furious, but he didn't have the courage to stand up and make trouble for others, so he could only get angry in vain by being anxious.

On the other hand, Antoine was much smarter than him. He was seen running around stumblingly, constantly pulling the soldiers up from the ground and urging them to move forward. Such a performance in the hail of bullets was already considered particularly outstanding. , at least a hundred times stronger than Baudouin.

It's just that this performance is not enough. Not only is Antoine not good enough, but more importantly, their opponents are too powerful.

But as soon as Antoine's company approached the barbed wire fence, the Russian army began to fire violently. Round after round of bullets knocked Antoine's men to the ground one after another. A quarter of them were killed or wounded before they even got close to the barbed wire fence.

However, this still failed to stop Antoine from urging his troops to move forward. Under his encouragement and verbal threats, the French soldiers staggered forward. Although they struggled, they were still moving forward. The Baudoin company that was holding back was really too strong.

And this naturally made Baudoin crazy with jealousy. If he could, he would like to rush up and bite Antoine to death. Unfortunately, he did not have the courage and could only continue to huddle on the ground without daring to move.

But that's fine. For the time being, all the Russian army's attention was attracted by Antoine, and they didn't pay attention to him at all, allowing him to temporarily save his life. But it's hard to say how long this can last. After all, Antoine only has With so many people, after killing them all, the Russian army will come to deal with Baudouin sooner or later.

"Antoine is really a good man, a hundred times better than our eggless company commander!"

Lucien, who secretly spied on the battlefield from time to time, became more and more contemptuous of Baudouin. If possible, he could not wait to switch to Antoine's company immediately. But Claude sneered at this:

"What's the use? No matter how brave Antoine is, he can only let his people die. In comparison, it would be better to be a coward like Baudouin!"

Although Lier is such a rationale, Lucien still thinks Antoine is more manly and appreciates Antoine more. However, his respect cannot bring Antoine good luck. Soon this "real man" will He was shot down by the Russian army. He fell down straight like a dough bag and could not get up again.

After Antoine's company lost this backbone, it immediately fell into chaos and collapsed in minutes...
