Chapter 497: The Wounded

The Soviet soldiers rolled out with a scream, and took several Soviet soldiers behind them with them.

That's the benefit of charging from a high vantage point in the snow, where it's not about strength, it's about speed and weight.

Keller followed Qin Chuan, and with a raised hand with a submachine gun, he swept down two of them, revealing a Soviet soldier behind him who was pulling the grenade string and about to throw it forward...... The Soviet soldier was obviously a little late-aware, or it could also be said that this was a limitation of the terrain, and he had just climbed out of the drop line and was still lagging behind, not knowing that the Germans had launched a charge, and still thought that the target was in the trench more than 20 meters away.

Qin Chuan didn't hesitate, he slammed his rifle against his chest and then pushed it hard...... The Soviet soldier immediately lost his balance and fell back into the inclined plane.

This may not be nothing, there are Soviet troops rushing up everywhere behind him, and it doesn't hurt at all for so many human pads to fall back.

The problem was that he was still holding a grenade in his hand that he had not had time to throw in a hurry, because his body was out of balance and could not throw it for a while, the Soviet soldier was so anxious that he shouted "Wow", but the other Soviet sergeants did not know what he was shouting.

Soon, only to hear the "boom" grenade explode and blow up a piece of Soviet troops to the ground.

Then the machine gunner set up the machine gun on the inclined plane, and then "whoosh" fired a volley of bullets into the inclined plane...... Blood splattered, screams were repeated, and the Soviet troops, who were not psychologically prepared, fell under the dense bullets of the German army in pieces, and had no power to fight back.

On the other side, the tanks that were rushing up the inclined plane were also blown up by the Germans.

The tank is the most vulnerable when it is driven up on an inclined plane, because it has a natural elevation angle, and it is also at a large angle, and the gunner and machine gunner can only see the sky, and have no external perception and attack power at all.

As a result, German soldiers could easily approach it and stuff a cluster grenade or explosive pack under its chassis......

Soon, the Soviet soldiers retreated like a tidal wave.

"Retreat!" Qin Chuan shouted.

This is when a retreat is feasible, taking advantage of the fact that the Soviet troops are being pushed back.

So the soldiers retreated to the cellar and the second line of defense under the bombardment of Soviet artillery and the pursuit of warplanes.

As soon as he ran back to the cellar, Qin Chuan ordered: "Quasi-blow up the tunnel entrance!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The reason for this is simple: the Lovati River defense line has lost its proper defensive power under the attack of Soviet engineering vehicles, and has to give up.

"Wait, wait......" Werner shouted as he ran in, dragging a wounded soldier screaming behind him.

Several men hurried up to help drag the wounded soldier in, and in the light of the fire, he could be seen in a blur of flesh and blood on his right calf, apparently hit by a bullet.

"Call the paramedic right now!" Qin Chuan gave an order to Thomas.

"Yes, Captain!" Thomas answered and turned and went into the tunnel.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chuan and the soldiers did preliminary treatment of the wounded, such as cutting the wounded's trouser legs and wiping them with warm water to melt the blood frozen at the wound.

Soon the paramedics and Thomas arrived.

The paramedics performed a brief examination of the wounded man's leg and then sentenced it to death: "I need to have my leg amputated right away!" ”

"No, I don't want to be crippled!" The wounded objected.

"You can choose to die with it!" The medician replied expressionlessly, and quickly tied the wounded's legs with rubber bands in his hands.

"You mean right here?" Qin Chuan was a little incredulous: "Amputation under such conditions? ”

"Do you have a better suggestion, Captain?" The medic asked, "If you have a way, you can carry him to the headquarters!" ”

So Qin Chuan understood that there was artillery fire from the Soviet army and bombardment by fighter planes outside, and the Soviet army would soon attack again and occupy the position above the heads of Qin Chuan and others, and it would be impossible to get through from the outside.

The other way, the passage between the cellars, might have been possible, but it was too small for one person to pass through, and the wounded would only block the passage and the time would not be rushed.

"Hold him down!" As he spoke, the paramedic put a wooden plank under the wounded's feet.

Then the medic took out something that scared everyone away, a short saw......

"Sorry, corporal!" The medics shoved a wooden stick into the wounded's mouth and said, "We're running out of morphine, you know, in order to get as much ammunition and food as possible, they're going to have to cut back on the transportation of other supplies." We can only save morphine for the seriously wounded......"

"So!" Thomas looked at the medic in disbelief: "You mean amputation is a minor injury?" ”

The medic raised the saw and aimed it at the wounded's foot and replied, "You ask this because you haven't seen a seriously wounded person!" ”

As he spoke, the medic made a painful whimper, but it was not this that made people feel terrifying, but the struggle and trembling of the wounded with all their might, and the "gurgling" sound of the short saw sawing to the bone, which gave people the illusion that the short saw was on their feet, and the sound would make everyone nearby feel trembling and fear from the depths of their hearts.

Thomas couldn't help but scream loudly, as if he wanted to release the fear in his heart, but it obviously had no effect, because Qin Chuan saw that his face had been distorted by pain.

It was a few minutes before the process was over, the wounded had passed out, and Thomas had a severed leg in his hand...... He froze for a moment with the severed leg, then suddenly dropped it and vomited loudly in the corner.

"Was the operation a success?" Kuhn asked the medics.

"All I can do is prescribe some medicine for him!" The medic replied, "Whether he survives or not depends on himself!" ”

Kuhn nodded silently.

After the medics left, Thomas walked back and sat down on the ground.

I don't know if it's tears or vomit on my face, it's a mess.

"I'm sorry, Captain!" Thomas said, "I can't control myself! ”

"No need to apologize, Sergeant!" Qin Chuan replied: "You will get used to all this!" ”

"Seriously, Sergeant!" Alfredo interjected, "You're doing so much better than when we first arrived!" ”

Werner handed Thomas a box of canned beef with a hint of jokingness and asked, "Don't you want to have some?" ”

Thomas, who had just calmed down, couldn't help it as soon as he saw the beef, and rushed to the corner again to retch.

"Enough, Werner!" The baker was a little unhappy with Werner's approach.

"What?" Werner spread his hands and replied: "I just want him to adapt as soon as possible!" ”

The soldiers burst into laughter.
