Chapter 43: A New Beginning

Two weeks later, in the northeastern city of Algeria - Constantine, in the barracks of the armored corps.

"Trode, what did you say at this morning's meeting?" As soon as I got back to the tent, Hans found me.

I took off my hat and put it on the table, and as I unbuttoned my shirt, I told him, "A new combat mission has come down, and we are going to the front, the first stop is Batna." ”

After listening to what I said, Hans came to the point of interest: "Butner? Isn't that where we first met? ”

I put my clothes on the stool, looked at him and said, "Oh, I really regret it now, why did I get on the thief ship with you." ”

"Huh?" He let out a strange scream, then walked up to me and pointed his finger at me, "Thief ship? In your state at the time, if I told my superiors that you had been seriously injured in the brain and had become mentally ill, no one would have doubted it. ”

I took his hand away, patted him on the shoulder fiercely, and said, "You dodge me away, you are an early student from the military academy, don't come to educate me." If you hadn't touched me, you would have relied on yourself to get two brushes and a brittle body, and you would have let a 6-pound shell from the British be shattered. ”

In this way, Hans and I were in the barracks, and the quarrel went on for a long, long time, and we dismantled each other's old bottoms and stripped each other of their bodies.

On the other side, a crew had just arrived at Batna, and they were ordered to join Trode's team.

I have been in a state of semi-rest since I experienced some fighting at the end of the French theater, and this transfer to the North African theater is a new one, and I should cherish this opportunity. Also, if I had repelled the British and French armies in North Africa, and that would have made them surrender, the war would have ended sooner.

After more than an hour of travel, I arrived at my destination, but I got the news that the commander was missing! I didn't expect me to come in a hurry to report for duty, and this treatment is indeed. However, I became a little interested in such a chief, but after many people asked him for a long time, I could not find him, and finally a chief named Hans told me confidently that I would definitely find him.

I followed Chief Hans out of the city, into a cedar forest, and the scenery was so beautiful that you couldn't even feel the hot air outside.

I didn't expect my chief to be interested in watching the scenery here, but I didn't see him, so my favorability towards him dropped.

I whispered, "Well, Sir Hans." Are you sure Chief Trood is here? ”

He laughed out loud and said to me, "It's the self-righteous Vincent, who thinks he knows Trode, and runs away with you." ”

Soon a figure appeared in front of us, and he shouted at the man, "Hey, Troud, I knew you ran here, what's the matter, or do you want to do that?" ”

He just glanced over and replied, "It's okay, I'm just here to see this cedar forest, where 'I' started." ”

Chief Hans was obviously a little dissatisfied with his words, and said to him angrily: "Huh, you can really do it, and the newcomers can't find you when they come to report." ”

"Huh? I really forgot about this, you asked him to wait for me at the camp headquarters, and I will go back immediately. His tone changed, but he still looked up at the treetops.

Hans beckoned to me and motioned for me to come forward and said, "That's really not necessary, people are coming for you." ”

Finally, when it was my turn to introduce, I quickly stepped forward, tried my best to stand up straight, and saluted him, "Report sir, I'm First Class Corporal Alicia, and I'm the commander of the new crew. ”

"Ai" he had a long mouth, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.

The chief in front of me looked at me intently, which made me a little awkward and embarrassed, but why did I feel as if I had seen him somewhere, it must be a delusion, an illusion

I can't stand it if I keep this atmosphere, I have to find a way to break it, and I suddenly think of a good idea: "Well, sir, is there something on my face?" ”

"Ahh No, I'm sorry, it's my gaffe. He waved his hand as he spoke, and the expression on his face became very embarrassed.

Then Sergeant Hans, who was next to me, also began to reproach him: "You are so open-eyed, how can you be virtuous with Vincent, and you will be stunned when you see a beautiful woman." ”

"You! You—" He was about to retort, but his gaze met mine, and we both turned our faces to the side almost at the same time.

Just then, I heard a voice next to me getting quieter and quieter: "Oops! Trode, I suddenly remembered that my tank still hasn't been repaired, I'll go back and have a look. ”

It's not good, my mind goes blank. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a way, so I could only gently raise my head and look at him behind me, who knew that he was also turning his head to look at me. I turned my head back again, and I felt like my face was so hot, and it seemed like steam had risen from my head.

After waiting for a long time, he opened his mouth first: "Ahem, that Corporal Alicia, you haven't visited the barracks yet, I'll take you to see it." ”

After hearing this sentence, my head, which was blank just now, immediately reacted, and I was really angry, and I said in a resentful tone: "Thanks to a certain commander, I will have to look for others everywhere after I arrive, and the barracks have turned around many places." ”

"Ah, that commander is really a bit excessive," he wiped the cold sweat from his head and continued: "However, there are many chariots in our team, and there are other commanders, you haven't seen them yet, I'll take you to see them." ”

I was going to tease him, so I told him in my old tone, "Excuse me, but my crew was also assigned to the new F2 tank IV, so I don't have to look at it." ”

"This" he wanted to say something, but in the end he just whispered "I'm sorry" and lowered his head deeply.

Getting him like this will make me feel completely angry, after all, he is still my future commander, and it would be okay to leave him like this: "However, I still haven't learned much about the III. assault gun, and I would be happy if someone took me to see it." ”

His eyes lit up and he immediately came over and grabbed my hand

"Ahh

"Wow!"

That afternoon, two loud screams rang out from the cedar grove outside Batna
