Taylor sat quietly beside the company commander, and then took out a harmonica from his coat pocket, which his mother had bought for him on his sixteenth birthday.

Taylor was in a good mood and began to play Beethoven's famous song "Homesick"

"The golden sun rises in the east, and there is a nightingale on the branches, and suddenly it sings softly, causing me to look forward to you, to miss my homeland!

In this hot afternoon, I think of the woods of my hometown, I think of the coolness of the stream, how I miss you, homesick!

The sun has set in the west, I see the shadows of darkness, I see the clouds, the moon rises in the sky, homesick! Homesick!"

Suddenly, the ground shook, and the sand kept shaking, and Taylor was stunned, and he couldn't help muttering in horror:

"Mom! There was an earthquake. ”

The company commander who was lying in the yellow sand suddenly lifted the towel on his face and pulled it far away, and then a carp stiffened, and the company commander stood up from the yellow sand with a "whoosh", and the splashed yellow sand made Taylor all over his face.

Taylor couldn't even open his eyes, and he shouted in a panic:

"Oops! Company commander, my eyes are in the sand. ”

The company commander was wearing a pair of pants, he didn't care about the clothes on the ground at all, and ran away with Taylor, who was still rubbing his eyes, and the company commander shouted to his subordinates not far away while running:

"Air raids, you bastards are still playing, quick, dig bunkers to hide...... Hide quickly. ”

The British soldiers who were playing near the sandbag fortifications first smiled and watched their company commander pull Taylor to run quickly, and everyone thought that the company commander was going to be passionate with Taylor!

"What, air strikes?

"The ground seems to be shaking."

"Listen, it's like there's a buzzing sound."

"Oh my god! It's an air raid. ”

"Quick, dig a bunker and bury yourself."

The company commander pulled Taylor and ran to the sandbag fortifications, and immediately whispered:

"Boy, dig a pit with a sapper shovel and bury yourself in the sand, listen to me, this may save your life."

The company commander didn't have time to explain the reason to Taylor, so he immediately ran to the company command post, which was also a sandbag fortification, but the company command post had an extra roof made of a few logs.

In fact, there is no need for the company commander to explain, Taylor also knows the principle of digging a pit in the sand to bury himself.

The sand is soft and absorbs a lot of shock waves, so that people will not be shocked to death by bombs that explode at close range.

The absolute radius of destruction of a 50-kilogram aerial bomb is 20 meters, and if you dig a pit in the sand and bury yourself, the absolute radius of destruction of a 50-kilogram aerial bomb will be reduced to about 10 meters.

This was the experience that the British had learned at the end of the retreat from Dunkirk, when the Germans bombarded the beaches of Dunkirk with heavy artillery, and as a result, the explosion power of the 150 heavy guns was not ideal, and the lethality was much reduced.

The company commander was a veteran of the retreat from Dunkirk, and the experience of the company commander allowed Taylor to prepare for an air raid three or four minutes in advance.

Don't underestimate these few minutes, they really have to save the lives of many soldiers. Taylor began to frantically dig holes with his own sapper shovels.

Digging a hole in the sand, it almost doesn't take much force, the most important thing is to move quickly, Taylor's movements are fast at this time, and the yellow sand around him is flying.

The soldiers around Taylor were all digging holes in the sand, and they were not slow, and there were often veterans scolding the clumsy recruits.

"You're going to hurry!"

"Do you want to die, dig up for Lao Tzu quickly."

"Hey, I'll help you dig, what a fool."

Veterans are like this, in fact, they care about their brothers very much, but they are full of swearing, and the atmosphere in the army is like this, using smoking and swearing to release tension.

Throughout the Mersha Pass, many veterans are digging pits with recruits to bury themselves, in fact, Rafael has not practiced such air defense tactics, these tactics are all passed down by word of mouth of those veterans who participated in Dunkirk.

Hitler's release of hundreds of thousands of Anglo-French veterans in Dunkirk can be seen from these little things.

When the air raid siren sounded, Taylor and his company had all dug the pits, and as soon as the air raid sirens sounded, all the people lay down in the sand pits they had dug themselves, quietly waiting for the air raid to come.

After watching the movements of the other veterans, Taylor followed the example of the veterans, covering his ears with his hands and lying in the bunker.

Soon there was a violent vibration on the ground, which was not too violent, and it seemed that the German planes had begun to bomb, and then the explosion came, because Taylor had already covered his ears, and the explosion could still be heard, which showed the intensity of the explosion.

Taylor was so nervous that he silently called out his mother's name in his heart, and the vibrations from the ground continued to increase, and the vibrations became more and more violent, and Taylor felt like he was riding a roller coaster, and his chest was like a big stone pressing down, so that Taylor was almost out of breath.

The explosions came and went, although Taylor covered his ears tightly, but the sound still drilled into his ears, and the violent explosion still shook the eardrums with a faint pain, and Taylor did not dare to let go of his hands covering his ears.

The shaking became more and more violent, Taylor could already feel that the explosion was not far from him, and the tremor was about to break Taylor's heart and lungs, if it was hard ground, Taylor could not imagine that he had been shaken to death.

The bomb did not allow Taylor to continue to think, and a bomb began to explode not far from Taylor, and this time the shock was the most violent, and Taylor's body jumped in the bunker two or three times in a row.

Then Taylor felt his back being hit by countless grains of sand, and then a wave of sand came in layers, and this sand wave directly buried Taylor.

Taylor held his breath, but still didn't dare to move, because the shock of the explosion was still very close, and if he crawled out, he would definitely end up bleeding to death.

"Boom ......"

Taylor continued to explode from front to back, left and right, and the vibration was like a river overturning the sea, and the pain of people's internal organs was like being torn apart.

Taylor couldn't hold it anymore, he took a slow breath, "Hey", because Taylor covered his ears with his hands and lay down in the bunker, his face and **** had a certain space with the ground.

Actually able to breathe under the yellow sand, Taylor continued to maintain the previous position, breathing slowly, no matter how light Taylor's breathing was, every breath he took was a mouth full of sand and a nose.

It certainly didn't feel good, but it was better than no life, and the explosion was getting farther and farther away, and after three or four minutes, Taylor had to climb out of the bunker when he felt that his breath was of little use.

At this time, the position was filled with gunsmoke, and the German bombardment continued, but the bombing had gradually drifted away.
