Chapter 55: The Wounded

"Spread out and get out of the car!" The order was conveyed immediately.

But this order is actually very difficult to execute.

This is mainly due to the ambiguity of the order, does "scatter" let the cars spread out or the soldiers scatter? If the soldiers are allowed to disperse, and the soldiers are still in the high-speed car, how can they disperse? And at the same time, if the car does not stop, how can the soldier get out of the car?

Such ambiguous orders are taboo in wartime, as they confuse the soldiers, but it does not seem to blame the officers who gave the orders...... There was too little time left for the officers to react, and the officers could not accurately convey the spirit of the order.

Fortunately, the driver of Qin Chuan's car was clever enough, he slammed the steering wheel and drove the car off the road, and stopped the car as soon as he stepped on the brakes after driving for a distance in the desert.

The soldiers didn't know what to do, so they jumped out of the car and scattered as fast as they could, holding their weapons and backpacks.

It turned out that the driver was right in doing this, because the British pilots could not keep an eye on a car on the ground, they always wanted to destroy as many targets as possible with as few bullets and bombs as possible, so they would always throw bullets and bombs into the area where the cars were piled up, which was different from the covering bombing of artillery shells, so it was definitely correct to drive the car out of the group.

As soon as Qin Chuan fell down in the sand, there was a unique whistling sound of a bomb in the air, and a deafening explosion followed, which was like the door of the abyss of hell was opened, and shrapnel and metal fragments flew everywhere, choking people with gunsmoke and dust making it difficult to breathe.

The explosions were round after round, mixed with the whistling sound of the fighter plane diving down and the "whoosh" sound of the machine gun firing, Qin Chuan could even clearly tell whether these bullets had hit the target or not...... When a bullet hits the sand, it makes a characteristic "plop" sound, and when it hits the target, it becomes a burst of metal clashing beans.

At this time, you really need the most self-control, because you always think about the terrible situation when you are hit by a bullet or bomb, so you always want to get up and run to a safe place...... But reason told Qin Chuan again and again that no place here is safe, all you can do is lie on the ground and wait for fate.

Alfredo couldn't hold back, he suddenly jumped up from his hiding place, and hysterically shouted as he raised his pistol and pulled the trigger in the air with a "bang, bang" bang...... Alfredo was actually just trying to soothe his fears, because everyone knew that a pistol would not hit a plane, and even if it did, the penetrating power of a pistol would only tickle the plane.

Qin Chuan didn't think much about it, he jumped up and threw Alfredo back to the ground, a bomb exploded nearby, and a "rain of dirt" fell from the sky on the ground, and at the same time, a black thing crossed Qin Chuan's head and fell heavily in front of the two.

Qin Chuan Dingqing saw that it was actually the skeleton of a steaming comrade-in-arms.

At this point, it was not a skeleton, because it was still alive, but it had no limbs and only a bare torso...... Its four feet had been blown away by the bomb, its chest, neck, and face were completely distorted from the shrapnel and the flying sand......

"Help me! Please......" the wreckage muttered and pleaded.

Alfredo was so frightened by this tragic scene that he cried and dug into the sand in front of him to hide his face from it, just as an ostrich always buries its head in the sand when it is in danger.

Qin Chuan had to drag Alfredo out again to prevent him from suffocating inside.

Eventually, the bombardment stopped, followed by the shocking screams of the wounded soldiers and the soldiers whose limbs had been blown off.

Qin Chuan got up and saw that the whole world had changed, the convoy that was still marching in a neat formation just now was scattered all over the place: some of them were blown up to the sky, the body of the car was lying crooked and twisted in the sand, and the wheels were still spinning; Some were blown into flames, and the black smoke was filled with the disgusting smell of barbecue in addition to the smell of gasoline and burnt; Even more terrifying were the machine-gun fire, the soldiers inside did not have time to get out of the car, including the driver, all became corpses, hanging on the car in various positions or falling into the nearby sand, the whole car turned a shocking red.

"Medic! Medics ......"

Qin Chuan heard someone shouting, but it was obvious that even if the medical soldiers had three heads and six arms, they couldn't keep busy.

Then Qin Chuan saw Colonel Slane, who had a few traces of blood on his head, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's.

"We can't stop!" Colonel Slein shouted as he dragged a German soldier from the ground: "Assemble, move on!" ”

"Colonel!" Someone asked: "What about the wounded?" ”

Colonel Slane was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Leave them behind, and the medics will take care of them!" ”

This is a lie, because the British will soon come in and they will either be captured by the British or corpses under the guns of the British......

However, there was no way to do this, the First Infantry Corps went deep into the heart of the British army, and they could not advance with the wounded, let alone send them to a safe place for treatment.

In the next few minutes, the paramedics made a simple identification of the wounded, and they classified them into three grades: severe, moderate, and mild.

The seriously wounded were gathered together and handed over to the chaplains...... The pastor will give them a final prayer.

The moderately wounded were left on the side of the road and handed them a grenade or explosives bag and told them to ...... You can choose to fire the grenade or surrender to the British.

However, most of them could not survive the arrival of the British army.

The lightly wounded were brought back to the startable car and followed the troops...... That means they have to keep fighting.

When he returned to the car, Qin Chuan found a soldier beside him who had almost had his left hand blown off.

The reason why I say "almost" is because there are still several muscles connected to his palm, like several ropes hanging on it, and the blood does not stop, and the soldiers hurriedly bandage him......

Qin Chuan didn't know if this was a "mild" injury, what Qin Chuan knew was that if the soldiers didn't want to be left where they were and waited to die, they had to pretend that their injuries were not serious and that they could continue to fight, and they even had to go to great lengths to deceive the medical guards.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan only felt a chill that was swishing...... He had tried his best to adapt to the war, but what happened was still breaking the bottom line of what he could bear again and again.

At this time, there was a burst of explosions from the back of the car...... Qin Chuan soon realized that it was a moderately wounded person who was pulling and igniting grenades and explosives packs.
