Accompanied by the shrill sound of the electric bell, the soldiers who were resting in the sentry tower were awakened from their sleep one after another.

"What's going on?"

Team leader Matsushita hurried to the firing hole of the artillery tower without even putting on his clothes. At this time, the searchlight on the roof started moving again.

“Someone!”

In the bright light, you can see natives holding leather shields, spears, and bows and arrows.

“Beep, beep…”

The moment they discovered the enemy, the soldiers who had just woken up opened fire.

"Report to the commander, Private Zhaikou has died of his wounds!"

“Baka…!”

At the same time as the "click" sound stopped abruptly, Panasonic's cursing turned into.

"Fuck it, hurry up and join the battle, phone, phone..."

"Report, there is no response on the phone, the phone line may be cut off!"

"Eight...Fuck! Fuck!"

Matsushita cursed and shouted at his subordinates in the bunker.

"Everybody take your positions and just keep shooting like you always have."

In fact, he didn't give any instructions at all. The soldiers had already lay down in front of their respective shooting holes, and then used the moon to shoot at the moving figures outside.

Although searchlights occasionally swept through the dark crowd, the soldiers often used moonlight to discover the enemy, and under the cover of darkness, the enemy surged up from all directions.

"Quick, quick shooting..."

At the shooting position in the watchtower, the soldiers desperately pulled the bolts, aimed, and fired, but the dark mass of enemies still came like a tide.

The border sentry tower is actually a bunker built with bricks and stones. The bottom wall is about one meter thick, the top wall is about two feet thick, and it is about ten meters high.

From a distance, it looks like a cylinder.

Well, it is almost the same as the artillery tower that the Chinese people are familiar with in later generations. Why is this kind of artillery tower used as a sentry tower?

It's cheap after all.

Four years ago, in order to prevent a counterattack by the indigenous people who fled into Sudan, the colony built hundreds of large and small artillery towers on the border, with at least a dozen people stationed there and at most more than a hundred people.

Although this isolated artillery tower has few troops, it is an almost insurmountable natural barrier due to its dangerous terrain and the fact that the natives have no heavy weapons.

The Bing 17 sentry tower is a solitary artillery tower located on a mound.

Although there was a trench dug in front of the turret, it was proven that strength is better than skill and numbers are better than anything else. However, it was useless when the enemy was attacked by a large force...

Actually, that’s not the case.

The natives holding leather shields, spears, and bows and arrows arrived at the trench a few dozen steps outside the artillery tower under the hail of bullets, and then directly dropped earthen baskets...

The trench was 3 meters wide and 25 meters deep, but it only took a short while to flatten the trench under the rain of bullets.

"What the hell... are they actually going to fight a war?"

The reason why Panasonic was so surprised was... in his traditional understanding, those dark-skinned natives could not fight at all, and the backbone of the riots in the past were the Arabic people and mixed-race people.

"Captain, someone is coming from behind!"

There is actually a strategy!

Matsushita was shocked and hurried to the other side to take a look. Sure enough, there were hundreds of local people running quickly from the south, led by a guy wearing an Arabic robe!

Squad leader Teng Ye followed suit and cursed:

"These guys are so stupid that they actually followed the Tianfang ghosts who robbed them as slaves to rebel. These guys must have sneaked in when we were not paying attention. They were also the ones who cut the telephone lines!"

It seems that they have really learned how to fight now. Not only do they know how to cooperate inside and outside, but they also know how to cut off the connection between the artillery tower and the rear.

Sure enough, the Tianfang people are not stupid at all. Once they get close, they will definitely use explosives to bombard the artillery tower. Hand-to-hand combat may come faster than they think!

"They're coming closer!"

The sentry on top of the turret gave another warning.

The natives who surrounded from the south approached the artillery tower unhindered. After crossing the trench, a few natives used the artillery tower as a cover, preventing the soldiers in the tower from shooting them with rifles. Then they directly ignited the bomb bags.

"careful……"

Almost at the moment when Panasonic finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" and a violent explosion sounded under the turret, causing the entire turret to shake.

In the violent explosion, everyone in the artillery tower was dizzy, many were knocked to the ground, and some soldiers even had blood in their ears.

"Is anyone injured? Is anyone injured..."

Although Panasonic shouted desperately, he could not hear his own voice. The buzzing tinnitus drowned out all other sounds.

“No, no…”

Xiaosong stood up shakily, glanced at his comrades, shook his dazed head, and responded to the captain's shout. He opened fire from the firing hole on the second floor of the turret with a rifle, shooting at the natives rushing up from below.

Because the crowd was so dense, when a 7.5mm bullet penetrated the body of a native, it might even hit another native, injuring or burying him.

Amid the gunfire, the soldiers who were stunned by the explosion seemed to recover. They picked up their rifles and returned to their posts. Although the smoke and dust outside the turret blocked their sight, they did not need to aim at all. They only needed to shoot outside the turret and they would be sure to hit the people.

"...LA-%...-HUB...A..."

Amid the billowing smoke and dust, the natives were shouting madly, holding high their spears and leather shields, howling in a way that the soldiers could not understand, and rushing to the bottom of the artillery tower like a tide.

They believed that a big hole must have been blown out of the artillery tower - Mahdi's rebels used this tactic to destroy the British and Egyptian bunkers.

But when the crazy people rushed to the bottom of the turret, they were all dumbfounded - in front of them, the thick brick wall was only blown away a little, and the explosive packs only left some craters on the brick wall.

how so……

While the natives were dumbfounded, Matsushita in the artillery tower shouted loudly.

"Quick, hurry up to the top of the tower and use grenades..."

He was not worried that the explosives would blow up the turret. After all, the bottom of the turret was completely solid. The first floor was a 4-meter-high rammed earth layer. A one-meter-thick brick wall wrapped around five meters of rammed earth. It was basically a small city wall. Even ordinary artillery shells would be meaningless, let alone more than ten kilograms of explosives. Even entering the sentry tower was done by climbing up to the second floor via a ladder.

While commanding the soldiers to the top of the tower, Panasonic directly opened the armory on the third floor.

"Bring the grenade launcher and plenty of ammunition..."

After the soldiers reached the top of the tower, they threw grenades down directly even though the smoke below the tower had not yet dissipated.
