The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 178 Let's release poison gas into the tunnel!

"Help me—!"

To his utter surprise, a large, deep pit appeared behind him, and the unfortunate flamethrower soldier fell in instantly.

However, as he fell, a question couldn't help but arise in his mind:
That's not right. I didn't see any pits when I came here. Why was it okay when I stepped on it, but I fell in when I stepped back?
Unfortunately, he doesn't have time to think about these issues now.

He fell down with a thud, and the heavy jar weighing dozens of kilograms slammed into him. He felt as if his waist was broken and couldn't help but scream.

But before his scream was even halfway through, a huge shovel came crashing down on his head.

With a loud bang, he felt like he was being hit so hard that he saw stars and his head was about to be smashed. Just as he was about to fumble for the bayonet at his waist to fight back, a second shovel came crashing down on him.

He slapped him several times in a row, each slap landing on his head. Soon his head was unrecognizable, and even one of his eyeballs was squeezed out.

The player who had just killed him felt a wave of nausea upon seeing his gruesome appearance.

"Damn it, why is this lousy shovel so bad in melee combat? And the way it behaves after killing someone is disgusting!"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just finished him off with a bayonet!"

I wonder if this Black Hawk firefighter knows what happened in the afterlife. If he heard this, he would definitely curse.

Damn! It's like he'd rather have his head smashed several times with a shovel and then be crushed to pieces!

If he had a choice, he would also like to die in a less painful way!

"Watch out, there are enemy tunnels here! They've dug tunnels beneath the village!"

Seeing a living person suddenly fall into the ground, the other Black Hawk soldiers naturally couldn't ignore it.

Soon, they discovered the secret of the players digging tunnels. At the same time, they naturally figured out why they had been able to sweep through the cellar many times before, throwing bombs and using fire, but they were unable to eliminate the enemies inside.

It turns out that these guys had already hidden somewhere else through the tunnel. So all that fighting they did was just firing blanks!
After understanding the situation, the Black Hawk soldiers were quickly surprised and found the situation somewhat unbelievable.

They didn't understand when the Cambrian soldiers in front of them had dug the tunnel.

Judging from the depth of this tunnel, it doesn't seem like it was dug in a short time, but how much time could these Cambrian soldiers have to dig a tunnel?

They didn't know exactly when the garrison had taken up position, but given the speed at which their troops had broken through, the enemy couldn't possibly have anticipated that they would seize the bridge and cross the river so quickly.

So, without knowing that the enemy troops would cross the river, they had nothing better to do than come here to dig a large number of tunnels in a small village.
Could it be that their battle plan was leaked at some point, making these guys on guard?

An officer hiding behind couldn't help but think of this possibility, and instantly felt goosebumps rise all over his back.

Leaks are no small matter; if there are traitors in the military, things will get very serious!

But then he realized that this was unlikely. Leaving aside the fact that their plan to seize the bridge was something General Ron had come up with on the spur of the moment, even if the enemy learned of the plan in such a short time, there was absolutely no reason for them to let him cross the bridge.

Instead of letting them cross the bridge and then setting up positions to ambush them, wouldn't it be better to just blow up the bridge?
So the more he thought about it, the more his brain seemed to shut down. The more he thought about it, the less he understood, and no explanation seemed reasonable.

This officer had a lot of ideas, but the other soldiers didn't have nearly as many.

Upon seeing what appeared to be enemies in the tunnel ahead, soldiers immediately moved closer and fired into it. However, unexpectedly, a fire dragon suddenly spewed out from the tunnel!
Two soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were instantly burned to ashes. The remaining soldiers retreated one after another, but when they went closer, they found that the enemy in the tunnel, along with the newly appeared flamethrower soldiers, had all withdrawn.

"Sir, should we pursue them?"

At the tunnel entrance, a sergeant asked the company commander behind him, his eyes showing a conflicted expression.

If they had a choice, they really didn't want to fight a tunnel war with the enemy, because it was too easy to fall into traps in the tunnels, and they had no idea what the enemy had planned in the tunnels.

They had suffered a similar loss during the Battle of Paris. If it weren't for the necromancer's overwhelming force of the undead, many of their people would have died in Paris.

Praising the habits of those in the Iris Empire, there is a huge cemetery beneath Paris that contains the remains of over 600 million people.

In the hands of a necromancer, so many bones would be enough to create not only a sea of ​​undead, but also an entire legion of undead Titans!
"No, we won't pursue them; it's too dangerous to go in!"

"Let's just use poison gas! Let's pump it in!"

As he said this, a sinister glint flashed in the officer's eyes.

They hadn't used poison gas in the previous battles, mainly because the wind direction was wrong.

If poison gas is used at this point, the wind will blow towards them, and eventually all the poison gas will end up in their own ranks.

But it's not a problem if it's used underground. Underground ventilation is poor, so once the toxic gas is sprayed in, it will just accumulate underground and not disperse!
Considering the Cambrian Empire's army's gas mask coverage rate, they thought that if they didn't mess it up, maybe spraying a few canisters of poison gas in would wipe out all the enemies in the tunnels?
As soon as the officer gave the order, several soldiers wearing gas masks and special leather chemical protective suits came over, pushing several large tanks.

Like throwing a grenade, they tossed several long pipes into the cellar and then hurried back to turn on the valve.

Under the action of the compressed cylinder, the toxic gas in the canister was instantly ejected, and an extremely pungent smell instantly filled the air.

The players were hiding in the tunnel, hoping the enemy would rush in, but to their surprise, the guys didn't.

Just as they were marveling at how cowardly these NPCs were, they suddenly saw a large amount of yellowish-green gas spreading wildly in the tunnel, and it looked like it was about to reach their location.

"Holy crap! These bastards have no sportsmanship, they actually released poison gas!"

Seeing the vast expanse of poison gas, some players couldn't help but curse, as the area covered by this poison gas was far more ferocious than the gas bombs in Battlefield 1.

But it doesn't matter, they have gas masks, so they're not afraid of poisonous gas once they put them on; at most, their field of vision will be narrowed.

They're so naive to think they can kill them with poison gas!
