The Germans retreated all the way to fifteen kilometers away...... This was just enough distance to escape the range of enemy artillery, unless the British were willing to risk running over their own mines to move the artillery to the front.

But Qin Chuan believed that the British would not do this, because what the British wanted at this time was to recuperate.

The reason is simple, the British will transport supplies and equipment much faster than the Germans, and the further time goes on, the stronger the El Alamein line, the less likely it is that the Germans will break through it.

Qin Chuan lay down on the ground as soon as he got out of the car, in fact, if it wasn't for the driver's other tasks, Qin Chuan would have liked to sleep in the back compartment of the car.

The rest of the German soldiers were similar, sitting or lying on the ground one by one, like walking corpses, their eyes glazed and their eyes blank, as if they did not even have the strength to close their eyes.

At the same time, the atmosphere was very depressing, not only because of exhaustion, but also because of the frustration after failure.

"Rest in place!" Bazel ordered: "As compensation for you, the sappers will complete the work for you!" ”

As soon as he heard this order, Qin Chuan couldn't care about anything anymore, he used his last bit of strength to pull out a blanket from his backpack and cover himself with his head and sleep, although there was blood all over his body, and even a wound on his shoulder that was cut open by shrapnel was a hot pain, but he didn't care about anything, he just knew that he didn't want to do anything when he closed his eyes.

But before he could sleep long, Qin Chuan was awakened by a burst of gunshots, he sat up and picked up the gun, and reflexively pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the gunshot.

"Hey...... Sergeant, put down your gun! Werner said: "There are no enemies!" ”

"No enemies?" Qin Chuan felt a little puzzled: "What's going on with that gunshot?" ”

Then Qin Chuan heard Bazel's scolding: "Put down the gun, you scum, go back to the team!" ”

It turned out that three soldiers wanted to escape while the others were asleep, and they even planned that if they could escape to Matru, they could mingle with the wounded soldiers and board the ship bound for Italy, and then find an opportunity to sneak back to Germany or simply hide in Italy for a while.

But Bazel spotted them, and soon realized that if he didn't stop them, it would be an avalanche of ripple effects, so he grabbed his submachine gun and fired a flurry of bullets at the three soldiers.

The three soldiers were frightened, they turned to Bazel, and in a panic, one of them raised his rifle and fired a shot at Bazel, the bullet grazing Bazel's body.

Bazel should have fired a flurry of bullets to kill all three soldiers, but he didn't.

"If you're back in the ranks now, I'll act like nothing happened!" "Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!" said Bazel! ”

As soon as the three soldiers heard this, they obediently returned to the ranks.

Soon a patrol arrived and asked, "What happened?" Why are there gunshots! ”

"That's right!" Bazel replied: "My soldiers have just returned from the battlefield, and they are exhausted, so they did not have an insurance and caused a misfire!" ”

"Really?" The patrol asked, "There are no casualties!" ”

"No, no!"

"You should teach them a good lesson, sir!"

"I will!" Bazel replied.

After the patrol left, Bazel whispered to the soldiers, "I know what is going on, and we are experiencing the most brutal war, but that doesn't mean you can do stupid things...... So listen, next time you won't be so lucky, you know? ”

"Understood, sir!"

Of course, before the intense pressure of death and the battlefield, Bazel's approach was only temporary.

Soon, the field hospital found some signs of self-injury and feigning illness.

Qin Chuan didn't know what punishment they would receive, but he knew that they would never end well...... Because this is the reality of war, if desertion and feigning illness are not punished severely, more people will soon try it, and it will not be long before the German army will be like the Italian army.

Among them, Qin Chuan even heard some almost "artistic" operations, such as eating Nivea sunscreen, which will cause the same symptoms of jaundice...... It's not even a field doctor's way of detecting, and it's so inexpensive that many people bring a bottle of sunscreen with them before they come to the desert, but it only temporarily dodges you from one of the more dangerous battles.

If you want to leave the battlefield forever...... Then there is a price, such as an arm or a leg.

In order to avoid gunpowder burns on the edges of the wound, it is necessary to shoot through a piece of black bread, and more importantly, to make up a whole story in advance.

Although Qin Chuan had heard about these methods from others, he didn't even consider using them.

Because Qin Chuan understood that this war in history would eventually end in Germany's defeat, and then the American and Soviet armies would capture Germany, and it would be difficult for any German adult to survive at that time, even the wounded soldiers who did not pose a threat to the United States and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, if you want to survive, it is obviously useless to rely only on these "arts".

Just when Qin Chuan wanted to lie back on his "bed" and continue sleeping, a jeep stopped next to Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan recognized that it was General Stryk's car.

"Sergeant!" The driver leaned out and beckoned to Qin Chuan: "Get in the car, the general will let you go to his headquarters!" ”

Qin Chuan knew what this was for, of course, it was for a situation that was difficult to manage.

But what Qin Chuan didn't expect was that people were unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth...... The jeep had only been driving in the desert for more than ten minutes when the left front wheel of the car was crushed with a landmine.

Hearing only a "boom", the steering wheel was shaken out of the driver's grasp, and the car jerked to the left, throwing Qin Chuan and the driver out before it overturned.

Qin Chuan and the driver lay on the ground motionless and did not dare to move, because they did not know if there were still mines around.

"This must have been done by my own people!" The driver said angrily: "I didn't have any mines when I came!" Sergeant, are you hurt? ”

"No, no!" Qin Chuan checked himself as he answered, and he was unscathed except for a few abrasions.

"What are we going to do now?" The driver asked with some panic.

Qin Chuan knew what the driver meant...... Moving on or looking back?

But in fact, neither is a good option, because there is a possibility of landmines.

"Fuck it!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but scold, today is a tie with the mine.
