"Do we have reinforcements?" Colonel Slane asked, after listening to Colonel Albridge's story.

Colonel Albridge shook his head: "We are seriously underarmed, we don't even have reserves, if there are reinforcements...... That's the Italian troops! ”

Colonel Slein couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "If we let the Italian army come to reinforce us, we might as well surrender!" ”

Then Colonel Slein asked, "Can we use those captured tanks?" ”

Colonel Albridge shook his head again: "If it's the 'Matilda' tank, maybe it's okay, but we found out that this is a new type of tank for the British, and if you want to use them, you will need at least some time to train." ”

This was a pre-war preparation for the Germans, and it was also intended to be able to use the captured Matilda tanks...... In Africa, any resource is extremely valuable, and it is especially foreseeable that the Germans will have a good chance of capturing the Matilda on the battlefield in the future, and it would be a great waste to not be able to use it in battle.

"What's more, the 'Cross' tank can't penetrate the 'Matilda'!" Colonel Albridge said, "So all we can do is drive them back with the British tank crews!" ”

Colonel Slein nodded in understanding, after all, this is to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, and it is only a dead end for German soldiers to operate unfamiliar tanks to fight the enemy.

"Perhaps......" said Colonel Slein, "we should bring in a few 88 guns!" ”

At this time, the German army had only one equipment to deal with the "Matilda", that is, the 88 anti-aircraft gun.

But Colonel Albridge still shook his head: "We have deployed all the 88 anti-aircraft guns in Harda Pass, you know, the 2nd Infantry Regiment does not even have a tank, they need the 88 anti-aircraft guns to block the attack of the enemy's tank group, and the 15th Panzer Division also needs them." ”

So Colonel Slane was silent.

After a long while, Colonel Slain said, "Sir, I have a suggestion that I don't know ......."

"There's nothing you can't say, Colonel!" Colonel Albridge said: "Now is the time when I need advice the most, and we are running out of time!" ”

"I mean...... Maybe we should listen to one of our subordinates! Colonel Slein said.

"Is that your staff officer?" Colonel Albridge said, "Of course, you should have brought him when you came!" ”

"No, sir!" Colonel Slain replied: "He is a sergeant!" ”

"Sergeant?" Colonel Albridge couldn't help but look at Colonel Slane in confusion.

At this time, Qin Chuan had not recovered from the hand-to-hand combat just now.

He had always thought that with his previous combat experience, he would have the courage to face any battle, but now he realized that he was wrong...... Long-range combat and close-quarters combat are completely different things.

Although long-range combat is just as dangerous, it can even be said that the level of danger is higher than that of close-quarters combat, because you often don't know where a black hole is pointed at you, and then "bang" and it is all over. And close-quarters combat can at least see the opponent and still have time to react.

But......

Qin Chuan will never forget the desperate eyes of the British soldier before he died, the blood sprayed from the wound with body temperature, and the convulsions and struggles before he died...... Compared to these, Qin Chuan found that everything he had faced before was not worth mentioning.

"Your rifle!" Alfredo went to Qin Chuan's side, and then handed Qin Chuan's rifle with a sniper scope to him.

Qin Chuan hesitated, and then silently took the rifle...... The rifle was already stained with blood, not blood to be exact, for its moisture had rapidly evaporated in the desert heat and had turned a disgusting dark red. The bayonet, in particular, was sprayed with red paint by a crappy craftsman due to the uneven blood.

Qin Chuan removed the bayonet and found a small notch on the blade...... Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of the sound of the bayonet grinding against the enemy's ribs, which made his bones itch a little.

"Can you help me get a bayonet?" Qin Chuan threw the bayonet on the ground, like it would be hot: "It's already curled!" ”

"Of course!" Alfredo said.

When Alfredo went to get the bayonet, Qin Chuan piled some sand with his feet and buried the bayonet.

This made Qin Chuan feel better.

After a while, Alfredo returned, and he brought Qin Chuan a brand new bayonet.

"Thank you!" Qin Chuan said to Alfredo: "I'm not just talking about this......"

Qin Chuan raised his new bayonet: "And you saved my life on the battlefield!" ”

"Oh, please, Sergeant!" Alfredo laughed, "Everyone is talking about your advice, and you've saved us all, and you've saved me more than once!" ”

As he spoke, Alfredo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Qin Chuan.

When Qin Chuan took the cigarette, he found that his hand was still trembling a little, but fortunately Alfredo didn't notice it.

After lighting the cigarette, Qin Chuan asked Alfredo, "Do you feel anything?" ”

"What?"

"I mean, today may be your first killing!"

"Oh, no!" Alfredo took a puff of smoke and replied, "This is already the second time!" ”

"The second time?"

"Yes!" Alfredo replied thoughtfully, "For the first time...... Shortly after I arrived in Libya, a Libyan kid tried to steal cans from a car, and he was only waist tall, skinny, obviously hungry. I spotted him and tied him to the back of the car to go to the village to teach his parents a lesson...... But I didn't realize that this was Africa, and when I tried to call him down, I found out that he was already ......"

At this point, Alfredo lowered his head and let out a long sigh, then continued, "I wasn't punished for this, they won't do it." On the contrary, they thought I was doing the right thing and even gave me credit for it...... God, he's just a kid who wants to fill his stomach with a few cans! ”

"That's why you're a pacifist?" Qin Chuan said.

"Yes!" Alfredo nodded, then raised his hand at the corpses and blood of the British soldiers who had not been cleaned up nearby: "But this is ridiculous, isn't it?" Fuck the pacifists! ”

This is indeed somewhat ridiculous, because war is the opposite of peace, so there can be no pacifists on the battlefield, and if there is, they will only be corpses.

But Qin Chuan couldn't laugh at all.

At this time, a jeep stopped near Qin Chuan, and Lucas, who was in the passenger seat, shouted at Qin Chuan from a few meters away: "Sergeant, follow me!" ”
