Fox of France

It would have been all right if Hyde had just shouted "The rebels are over there," but instead he called "Behind us." Generally speaking, on the battlefield, the enemy behind you is the most dangerous. As a result, as soon as this sentence was shouted, everyone turned back in a hurry, but there was mud under their feet. Although the swamp shoes reduced their pressure and prevented them from easily sinking into the mud, but, but this thing Not anti-slip! As soon as the speed of turning around was fast, it was easy to slip under the soles of the feet, and when the soles of the feet slipped, he fell down a large piece with a bang.

If so many people fell down in ordinary times, everyone would just laugh. But this is a battlefield, so many people fell all of a sudden, it is inevitable that some of the remaining people will lose their minds, and a lump in their hearts will come out, "My God, I was killed all at once!" So much! We're surrounded!" thought.

Then I don't know who shouted first: "We are surrounded, run!" Then someone took the lead like a waddling duck, with two big feet stepping on the water and mud all over the place. Splash back and run. Then naturally a group of ducks ran back together.

The swamp was really slippery, and during the process, some people fell down. Then these people who fell were naturally regarded by the frightened ducks as being killed by guerrillas, and then ran even more desperately.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that these people just fell and were not killed. Among other things, when these people fell, there was no gunfire. In this era, there are no silent firearms.

But for many things, once a trend is formed, rationality will not work very well. For example, in some countries and regions in later generations, because of listening to rumors, there was a trend of everyone going to the supermarket to grab all the toilet paper. Then, the host of a certain media refuted the rumors on the show, saying that "there is no need to rush to buy toilet paper" in order to let his family members rush to grab some toilet paper. He really didn't believe the rumors, but he also knew that if he didn't follow suit, there would be no toilet paper at home in a while.

The current situation is somewhat similar to this. After everyone started running, some people who understood, such as Hyde and O'Kelly, knew what was going on, but when they yelled a few times and found that everyone ignored them and just ran away desperately, they They had no choice but to run along, and they had to run faster, otherwise, everyone would run far away, leaving only the two of them. one?

So everyone turned around and ran away together, like a herd of animals who heard "Gudong is coming". In the story, the herd of beasts ran wildly until they encountered a lion, and the soldiers of the "security force" also ran wildly until they encountered the British army.

"Stop!" shouted the British officer, drawing his command knife. Behind him, several rows of lobster soldiers had raised their rifles.

Some ducks that didn't feel very good began to slow down, but because of slippery feet, this deceleration caused another crackling and fell down. Those behind did not hear, or did not hear clearly the warning of the British officer in front, and they continued to run forward.

"Fire!" The British officer chopped down the command knife in his hand without hesitation.

"Bang..." The gunshot rang out, and Heigouzi, who was running back, was really knocked down this time.

"Go back, go back, you can't run, sir, sir, they will really kill people!" Captain O'Kelly shouted.

"Get ready!" Edward's drawn out voice came from the air.

The "security force" soldiers who hadn't died hurriedly got up from the muddy water, turned around and walked towards the swamp. However, during this process, a very small number of people were killed by the guerrillas, and more people were killed by the British, and some people were unlucky enough to fall into the mud even though they wore swamp shoes—— But not dead yet.

Seeing the guys from the "Security Force" scrambling and "advancing" into the swamp again, a contemptuous smile appeared on Edward's face.

"Now, except for the cavalry and artillery, all other troops put on swamp shoes and follow me into the swamp to destroy the rebels." Edward put the command knife back into its sheath, and then issued such an order.

The lobster soldiers also put on their swamp shoes, and began to enter the swamp along the road that the "security forces" had walked.

Captain O'Kelly led the rest of the "security forces" to run for a while. When they turned around, they could no longer see the red British soldiers, so everyone stopped to rest and catch their breath.

"Captain...Captain... You really can't enter here. We are not familiar with the place here, and if we go inside, we will definitely be blacked out."

"Don't go forward, can Officer Stafford spare us? So many brothers were killed just now, do you see that the officer frowned? Let me tell you, we can only go forward. There shouldn't be many rebels ahead. Bandits..." Another soldier from the "Security Force" said.

"What if there are more than one or two rebels in front. Let me tell you, Captain, let's just shoot a few shots indiscriminately first, which is worthy of the money given by the British, and then we will find a place to hide for a while, and then we will go out." He said that he fought with the rebels for a while, but the rebels all ran away and we didn't catch up...then it's over, isn't it?"

"That's right, Captain, we can't run any further. You see how many times we fell along the way, our gun has been soaked in water, and it's still full of muddy water. If we want to shoot, it won't work... "

Captain O'Kelly thought for a while, and then said: "Go, find some guns that can be used, and then shoot them twice, and then we'll hide in the reeds over there for a while, and then talk. But walking here, They all left footprints, sir, they followed the footprints, after a while, we must first..."

Although the black leather dog has already passed this section of the road, the lobster soldiers still walked very carefully in the swamp—and they couldn't be careless. From time to time, they would meet someone who would shout "Sir, For the sake of the United Kingdom, pull a brother's black dog in the mud.

As a result, the lobster soldiers naturally walked very slowly. After walking for a while, there was suddenly crackling gunshots ahead.

"It's the guys from the Security Forces fighting the rebels!" Edward Stafford excitedly drew out his command knife, "All speed up, catch up, and destroy the rebels!"

The soldiers quickened their pace.

After driving for a while, it seems that they have reached the place where the gunshots sounded just now. It's just that there is no one here now, neither the rebels nor a black dog can be seen.

"Damn it, where did everyone go?" Edward Stafford asked angrily.

"It should be that the rebels retreated, and the security forces chased after them. Look, sir, there are traces of walking here." Another second lieutenant officer pointed to a place for Edward Stafford to show.

There were indeed some messy footprints in that place, extending to a shallow water. The surface of the water doesn't look deep, but it's a bit wide and misty, and it's hard to see where those guys landed in front.

"They should have waded through the water to chase them," said the second lieutenant.

"They still have the guts to chase after them like this?"

"Maybe they saw the rebels passing by like this, so they followed them."

Several low-ranking officers discussed one after another. Finally, everyone turned their attention to the battalion commander Edward Stafford.

But Battalion Commander Edward Stafford hesitated a little, because the footprints were already submerged under the water surface. The water here is not clear, and it is covered with various aquatic plants. Although the water is not deep, it is impossible to see the bottom. , It is quite dangerous to enter the water and walk over here.

At the same time, in the reeds facing the water, several pairs of eyes were staring at those bright red Britons.

Several guerrilla members just witnessed a farce: a group of black dogs ran here first, then took off the swamp shoes on their feet, tied them in a different direction, and then fired a few shots towards the sky. Then he ran back along the original way, and disappeared after a while. Then after a while, a large group of lobster soldiers appeared.

Several guerrillas knew that the mud under the water surface was very dangerous, and even wearing swamp shoes, they couldn't cross that section of water. Now I see these British guys are very hesitant. Several guerrilla members glanced at each other, and then Higgins lowered his voice and said, "Wade, let's step back for a while, and then fire a few shots. I think those British guys will definitely be fooled."

Several guerrilla members stepped back for a while, and then fired a few shots into the sky.

"Over there! It's over there! It should be that the security forces and the rebels exchanged fire again!"

Now, the whereabouts of the security forces are clear. Both the security forces and the rebels can get by. Could it be that the majestic British Army can't get through?

So Battalion Commander Edward Stafford quickly made a judgment and gave the order to "launch all into the water, cross the water, and chase down the rebels".

Then the heroic lobster soldiers began to slowly walk into the water.

The water on this piece of water was not deep, and it was only up to the knees at first, and the mud below was a little softer, but it was not too deep for people to sink. So everyone moved on. In order to prevent the rebels from escaping, everyone had to walk as fast as possible.

The water gradually became deeper, from just over the knees to over the thighs, from over the thighs to the waist, and from the waist to almost the chest. In order to prevent the guns from entering the water, the soldiers had to put the guns in their hands The gun was raised high above his head, as if he was raising his gun in surrender. And the mud under their feet became softer and softer.

"Come on, we'll pass right away!" Battalion Commander Edward Stafford faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still encouraged the soldiers beside him.
