Qin Chuan's first thought was a straw.

But that's after I got back, and I can't tell Erwin to send a straw when I'm lying here now.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before three people were out because of this problem...... One of them gave up on his own initiative because he couldn't think of a way to continue in this situation, and the other two were found because they tried to drink water.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan slowly pulled a handful of thatch from the disguise, his movements were so slow that it took twenty minutes for such a simple action.

Then Qin Chuan put one end of the thatch into the kettle and the other end in his mouth.

This thatch is a thin-stemmed needle grass that grows in Africa, also known as lijian grass, and because it is drought tolerant and very tough, many countries use it to make paper money, and it is one of the few things that Africa can export.

The water conductivity of S. sylvestris is not very good...... African plants generally have this characteristic, because if the water conductivity is good, the water will easily volatilize due to the sun's exposure, so the plant will not be able to survive because it loses too much water, which is one of the reasons why the banknotes will not get wet quickly when they are soaked in water.

However, because Qin Chuan had a small handful in his mouth, the gap between them could actually act as a straw, so it didn't take long for Qin Chuan to feel a little moist in his mouth, and then there was more and more water, which could basically meet the needs of the body. The downside of this practice is that the kettle has to be left open all the time, so there is a lot of evaporation loss, but this is also better than not drinking at all.

Maybe it's because others haven't thought of this method, at two o'clock in the afternoon when the temperature is highest, most people can't insist on giving up, and two of them are even unconscious, but Erwin has been paying attention to them, and found that something is wrong and hurriedly rescued them, which pulled them back from the brink of death.

"Sir!" Erwin had a loudspeaker behind him, "You're the only one left, should we discuss improvements?" ”

Qin Chuan stood up from the hiding point with a gun, he had already passed the most difficult moment, and it didn't make much sense to hold on.

But as soon as Qin Chuan stood up, his feet were weak and he fell to the ground again...... He had been lying on the ground for too long, and he was still exposed to the sun, and at this time, he felt that his eyes were black and dizzy.

The German soldiers hurriedly rushed up to the rescue, nothing serious, and after drinking a few sips of water, Qin Chuan's consciousness slowly recovered.

"So you're using needle grass as a catheter to replenish water!" Erwin couldn't help but praise after looking at Qin Chuan's kettle: "It's a good way, just now I was worried about whether you lost too much water!" ”

"In the end, none of us made it through the day!" Qin Chuan said: "So if this is a real battlefield, we are afraid that we will be wiped out!" ”

"No!" Erwin said, "I'm sure you can come back alive, but you're the only one!" ”

This lurking sniper is a nightmare for most people...... The reason why I say "most" is because some of them were "sacrificed" from the beginning, so they did not appreciate the hardships that followed.

As a result, Erwin even doubted the necessity of such a tactic.

"I have to say, sir!" "I think it's too difficult to do that, and the chances of the soldiers surviving are low," Erwin said...... Finding it means death, losing too much water means death, and even encountering scorpions and vipers can also mean death, and all they do is kill a few British soldiers! ”

After a pause, Erwin continued, "Our soldiers are precious. Even if you can successfully trade one soldier for two, three, or even more enemies, it may not be cost-effective! ”

In some respects, what Erwin said is indeed reasonable, the strength of the volunteers on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea is much larger than that of the US army, and the gap in equipment is very large, so it is cost-effective to exchange life for life with the "cold gun and cold artillery" movement.

Now the situation is different, the British army has more troops than the German army, and even the quality of the German army is better than that of the British soldiers, and exchanging the lives of German soldiers for the lives of British soldiers is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves.

"It's not just a matter of trading lives for lives!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's more important to form a kind of psychological pressure, just like a sniper can suppress a platoon or even more enemies after killing a few enemies, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Erwin replied.

Erwin didn't answer "yes", apparently because he still didn't agree with this tactic...... This is understandable, since the level of hardship of this tactic is itself beyond the psychological tolerance of Europeans.

But it was precisely this that caused psychological shock and panic on the British army, which was also European, and this was only one of the functions of this tactic.

Then Qin Chuan summed up the accumulated experience and summarized them as training materials.

The problem of drinking water was quickly resolved...... It only needs to place a slightly longer medical infusion tube in the kettle, which does not require much infusion tube, and one infusion tube is cut into several sections enough for several soldiers.

At the same time, Qin Chuan also added some salt and sugar to the water, so that he could replenish the sugar and salt lost by his body due to sweating and avoid heat stroke.

On the other hand, it was Qin Chuan who thought that they should lurk in pairs.

This can reduce the fatigue and fear of the soldier while lurking to a considerable extent...... The two are on duty in turns, so that the shooter does not get tired from long hours of observation and high tension in the harsh sunlight. At the same time, the two can also communicate with each other and encourage each other, so that they will not feel frightened because they have fallen into complete loneliness.

Qin Chuan used this set on the trainees, and sure enough, the situation was much better when the latent exercise was conducted again two days later, and this time more than half of them persisted until the afternoon, and a total of nine people, including Qin Chuan, persevered to the end and successfully returned.

After that, it was a matter of constant drills, improvements, and drills and improvements.

The trainees learned quickly, after all, they were all elites transferred from various units, they all had super stamina, especially everyone had the personality of not admitting defeat, and it soon developed to the point that most of them could successfully survive to the end, and this was still in the case of shooting targets in between.

Seeing this, Erwin didn't say anything.

"If our soldiers could be as ...... as they were," said Erwin, "then I believe we can give the British a good look!" ”

Qin Chuan believed that this was not a problem, because there were many ordinary soldiers, and what Qin Chuan had to do was to find out which part of it could adapt to this kind of battle.
