Chapter XXVI

The Italian lieutenant's name was Alfredo, a name from German meaning wise and peaceful.

The name is very apt for Alfredo.

First of all, he was smart enough, as evidenced by the fact that he knew that camels were used as clues when he was looking for a guide.

Secondly:

"I'm a pacifist!" Alfredo said angrily to Qin Chuan: "I am against war and violence, you can't drag me to the battlefield like this!" ”

"Pacifist?" Qin Chuan looked at Alfredo in disbelief, and then at his military uniform and rank: "Are you joking?" You're a soldier, and you're an officer! ”

"I'm serious!" Alfredo replied: "That's why I'm in charge of logistics, you see......"

Saying that, Alfredo took out his pistol and withdrew the magazine and shook it in front of Qin Chuan: "I didn't even bring bullets, and I didn't have a pistol!" ”

Qin Chuan really believed it, but he couldn't believe that it was true...... You know, this is a battlefield, and an Italian officer doesn't even carry bullets.

"What if you run into an enemy?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

Seeing Alfredo's helpless expression, Qin Chuan quickly understood that he would surrender as soon as possible, and he would surrender with his subordinates.

Qin Chuan shook his head and said while helping Bushra pack up: "But you're not smart enough!" ”

"What?" Alfrey didn't understand what Qin Chuan meant.

"Because you should know...... Qin Chuan forcefully lifted a sheepskin water bag onto the camel's hump, and took a breath before replying: "You told me that these things don't work at all, Bushra has become the tour guide of our group, the only tour guide, and you are the only person who can communicate with Bushra." In other words, the whole regiment is staring at you, do you think it is possible for me to let you go? Or is it possible for you to refuse? If necessary, they'll walk with a gun to your head, and I don't think you want that! ”

Alfredo couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard this, but he also knew that Qin Chuan was right, he had no choice, so he broke off his mind and stopped talking.

"Ensign!" Qin Chuan comforted Alfredo: "If you think about it from the other side, the whole group is counting on you two, so they will protect you!" ”

The second lieutenant nodded weakly, which was indeed good news.

But Qin Chuan didn't finish his words...... This is only valid in the desert, and after getting out of the desert, who cares about the life or death of an Italian ensign.

A few minutes later, the troops set off, and the scouts rode three wheels to reconnoiter in the direction indicated by Bushra, marking along the way, and constantly communicating with the command headquarters through radio, and the large force followed the signs and advanced under the guidance of Bushra.

Because Qin Chuan found the tour guide and Alfredo, Qin Chuan's company was at the forefront and was responsible for the safety of the tour guide and Alfredo.

The style of the march is a bit strange: the German army is full of artillery and cars, and the entire modern armed forces are ahead of a dozen camels...... They walked slowly, and the camel bells hanging from their bodies made a crisp sound, like the sound of pots and spoons colliding during stir-frying.

However, Qin Chuan knew that compared to those cars, camels were actually more useful in the desert, even though they were creatures and needed food.

The sun slowly rises over the horizon, and at first it is a little longing, because it can dispel the cold left over from the night, but after a while the warmth turns to dry heat, and soon it becomes hot again, and the temperature continues to rise...... The troops were walking on an uneven pot, and the heat from the ground seemed to want to roast every person and creature that walked on it.

Werner gulped down his water as he walked, sweat dripping down his cheeks, his uniform soaking wet, and the others were in a similar situation.

"You must drink as little water as possible!" Bushra reminded: "Otherwise, there will not be enough water for you to cross the desert!" ”

"But how?" Werner replied: "We have to rehydrate!" ”

Bushra replied, "The way to do this is to keep your body dehydrated!" ”

Werner couldn't help but be stunned.

What Bushra said is obviously reasonable, if the body is in a state of dehydration, then there will naturally be less sweating.

However, this is easier said than done, as dehydration can reduce the oxygen level in the blood, leading to dizziness or fatigue, especially when you are on the march.

But Werner had no choice but to do so, knowing that he could not continue like this, otherwise he would use twice as much water as anyone else.

After thinking about it, Werner tightened the kettle in his hand and hung it back on his waist...... The German soldiers had a higher consciousness, and most of them consciously considered the collective.

Before he had gone far, Qin Chuan saw a side three-wheeler break down on the side of the road, and several German soldiers tried hard to get it moving again, but finally gave up...... Most of the equipment of the 5th Light Division is old equipment that has been used on the battlefield for several years, and now it is overloaded in a high temperature environment, and of course various problems will arise.

Qin Chuan only hopes that there won't be too many problems with the car.

As a result, he soon saw a car in front of him in trouble...... It was supposed to be a supply vehicle for the reconnaissance unit, the wheels were stuck in the soft sand, and no matter how hard the driver stepped on the accelerator, it did not advance for half a minute except to lift up pieces of sand and sink deeper and deeper.

A group of German soldiers spontaneously stepped forward to help push the cart, but tragically, the wheels climbed out of the pit and soon sank into another pit...... These pits are actually dug by the wheels themselves.

Alfredo ran up and shouted at the grimacing driver in the cab, "You should get some gas off your tires!" ”

"Deflated? Was this helpful? The driver looked skeptical.

"Of course it works!" Alfredo said, "You can try, it's not for you!" ”

The driver thought about it, so he did as Alfredo said, and sure enough, the car, which had been struggling just now, immediately ran smoothly like a wild cat.

The driver happily poked his head out of the cab and waved at Alfredo in thanks.

"Wow!" Werner couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing! ”

"It's experience!" Alfredo replied: "I've been driving a car in Libya for three years!" ”

"I know!" "Pacifist, aren't you? ”

As he spoke, he laughed along with the other German soldiers.

"That's useful!" Qin Chuan said: "We should tell other drivers about this experience!" ”
