After the continuous explosions of hand grenades, French soldiers quickly stood up and charged into the German trenches.
The German trenches were hastily constructed within a few hours, only a little over a meter deep, and the French soldiers, without losing momentum, leaped into the smoke-filled trenches, swinging their bayonets wildly, indiscriminately stabbing anything alive.
The advantage of the French soldiers' needle bayonet was that it didn't easily get stuck, but the downside was equally obvious: it created a small wound that often wasn't fatal unless it hit a vital spot.
French soldiers, who had long used such bayonets, developed a habit of stabbing the same target multiple times in different places.
Hence, the battlefield was filled with the sounds of bayonets piercing flesh, "thud, thud," accompanied by the tragic screams of German soldiers, with some even crying out for mercy.
