"Where am I?" Adolf Hitler tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids were unusually heavy, as if an elephant was sitting on them. He faintly heard something, it seemed that someone was walking around, and someone was talking, but he couldn't hear it clearly. He tried hard to move, and a sharp pain struck him, and then, he woke up and opened his eyes.

What appeared in front of him was the white tent of the field hospital, which was also printed with a red cross. Hitler turned his neck with great difficulty, and saw that there were people lying around, many parts of their bodies were wrapped in white bandages, and some of them were bleeding from the backs. The smell of disinfectant was in the air. Some of the less injured were able to speak, they were talking to the other wounded, and there was a nurse busy in the big tent, but she seemed to be too busy to pay attention to most of the wounded.

At this time, several nurses followed a pale-faced doctor who seemed to have not slept in days, and they walked all the way to a bedside next to Hitler.

"Has the temperature of the 148th been taken?" The doctor asked.

"Dr. Atom, I've checked it, it's about 38.7 degrees, and I still have a fever." A nurse replied.

"How's the blistering on his body, how are they festering?" Dr. Atom added, "Untie the bandage and show me." ”

So a nurse began to unwrap the bandage for the wounded, and as the bandages were opened, a strong smell of blood, rancidity, mixed with the smell of disinfectant poured into Hitler's nose, who was sleeping next to him. Hitler tried to look over there to see how the wounded man was doing, but because he was lying down and Dr. Atom was between him and the wounded, he couldn't see anything clearly.

Dr. Atom frowned, "The tissues continue to decay, and new blisters are popping up. The situation is not optimistic, you have to check it every hour, and as soon as you find a blister, you cut it, and then wash it with antiseptic solution, and if you find any necrotic tissue, you have to remove it immediately. You know? ”

"But Dr. Atom, we're not doctors, we're just nurses, removing necrotic tissue, which is beyond our authority and ability." A nurse protested.

"Don't talk about permissions or anything now. There are too many wounded, there are not enough doctors, and there are not enough major surgeries! Yesterday I had four surgeries, and today there are three waiting there, hell, yesterday we even had the chef do the amputation to help! Such a small thing as the removal of necrotic tissue, where does the doctor have time to do? Besides, it's not like you haven't seen how to remove necrotic tissue before, just do it. ”

"But Dr. Atom, we're afraid we're inexperienced and we're going to spoil things." The nurse whispered.

"Don't worry, it's not going to be bad." Dr. Atom said, "If you don't cut it anyway, he'll die." If you cut it off, disinfect it or something, he will probably still die, and it will be the same if I am replaced. Anyway, if you help cut it off, he still has a little chance of surviving. Okay, let's take a look at the next patient. ”

So Dr. Atom turned around, and he looked at Hitler with a blank face, as if Hitler was not a wounded, or even a man, but an object.

"Number 149 woke up today? What about body temperature? Dr. Atom asked.

"Yes doctor, he had a fever last night around twelve o'clock." A nurse replied.

"Okay, open his bandages and show me." The doctor said.

……

"Very good, recovering well." Dr. Atom nodded and said, "Good luck, young man, you shouldn't die." Okay, let's move on to the next one. ”

By this time, Hitler had already dimly remembered why he had come here:

Hitler was shelled by the British on the battlefield, and immediately the smell of garlic and mustard filled the battlefield.

"Yellow Cross Poison! (The Germans called for mustard gas)" someone shouted, and then everyone hurriedly held their breath and put on gas masks. Although, everyone in the trenches knew that gas masks alone could not withstand the "Yellow Cross" gas. But it is at least guaranteed to reduce the amount of toxic gas that enters the lungs and eyes.

Hitler was not slow, and by the time he smelled it, he was holding his breath and closing his eyes. During the pre-war training, the officers told them that their eyes were mostly very sensitive to all kinds of poisonous gases and could be easily injured. Therefore, when training, the process of putting on a gas mask is carried out under the premise of blindfolding.

It takes a long time for mustard gas to pass through the skin and render a poisoned subject incapacitated. Even at high concentrations, it takes one and a half to two hours. However, the mustard gas-contaminated area is highly toxic, and these poisons are enough to kill a person for dozens of hours. So under normal circumstances, the soldiers in this area should be withdrawn immediately, but if they did, there would be a gap in the front, and the British (hell, they would have so many full-body hazmat suits) would easily occupy the area and threaten the security of the entire division. So, Hitler, they can't retreat yet, of course, after the reinforcements in full-body chemical protective suits and with disinfection and cleaning equipment come, they can withdraw, but when the reinforcements will come, then only God knows.

Hitler had already put on a gas mask, and then he opened his eyes. Immediately drilled into the anti-artillery holes in the trenches. To protect against possible gases, the soldiers themselves made certain modifications of the anti-artillery holes. They put a thick wool felt curtain on these anti-artillery holes, got in, lowered the curtain, pressed them on all sides, and poured water on them, which to a large extent could also block a lot of poisonous gases.

Hitler hid in the cave for almost two hours, during which time the British shelling never stopped. It's just that most of the shells of the British fell behind the positions where he was. Hitler knew that it was the British who were isolating all possible reinforcements with shells. This waste of shells used to sound like a fantasy, but in today's warfare, it's very, very routine.

After more than two hours, the British probably felt that the Germans on the position should be no longer enough, so they began to send soldiers to attack. So Hitler and the others were driven out of the bombardment again, ready to fight.

The British all wore very thick full-body hazmat suits. This made the British very inflexible. And at this time, the artillery on the side of the Germans also sounded. In terms of artillery, especially in large-caliber artillery, the Germans had a clear advantage. Because the Germans had more developed railways on their side, relying on the improvised laying of railways, the Germans also put a large number of large-caliber guns into the battle. On the battlefield, both the French and the British accounted for the vast majority of their artillery, 3-inch guns accounted for the vast majority, and in contrast, artillery over 6 inches was much less. This was not only due to the greater scale of the Germans' industry, but also to the difference in tactical thinking. Compared to the Germans, who relied more on railways and automobiles, the British and French relied more on mules and horses. And the mule horse can not pull more than 3 inches of artillery.

So Hitler saw that balls of fire exploded in the British offensive array. Depending on the size of the fireballs, Hitler could easily tell which ones were 100 guns, which ones were 150 guns, which ones were larger 203 mm guns, and sometimes, once in a while, one or two larger fireballs exploded, which were shells fired from 280 caliber train guns.

In the East, there has always been a saying that recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns. Because it is said that veterans can judge where the shells will fall by the whistling sound of the shells, so they know how to dodge, in contrast, the machine guns are much more difficult to deal with. But this argument does not work in Europe, because the density of artillery on the European battlefield is really not comparable to that of the East. At every moment, so many shells landed on the ground, and there was no place where you could easily dodge the shelling. In fact, even in the original history, since World War I, artillery has inflicted more casualties on the enemy than infantry. (The Chinese army did not do this until Shangganling, and when it arrived at Songmaoling, the Vietnamese soldiers killed by the infantry could not even catch up with a fraction of the artillery killed) Not to mention, in this time and space, because of the influence of Scrooge, the scale of artillery is even larger than the original history. So, the first attack of the British, without even breaking into the circle of machine-gun fire of the Germans, was finished under the cover of artillery.

However, the British soon organized an attack, and their raised balloons spotted the German artillery firing in the distance, so the British artillery began to fight with artillery, and the Germans naturally returned the color unceremoniously. More artillery was thrown into the fight, which also allowed the British soldiers to rush to the front of the German position.

By this time, Hitler was already suffering from some symptoms of poisoning, his eyes were ghosted, he could barely aim, and his skin felt as if he was being pricked by a needle. But he still reluctantly raised the Mauser 98 rifle and fired indiscriminately at the British. The Britons also shot at them, but their heavy hazmat suits interfered with them, so their shots were just as unreliable.

However, there were still a lot of water-cooled machine guns on the Germans' side, and although these machine guns did not perform very well today, they still caused a lot of damage to the British. Coupled with the effect of barbed wire, although many barbed wire were blown out by British shells, it still played a role in retardation, and as a result, the British were reached in front of the trenches in groups. As for after that, Hitler passed out in a coma. However, considering that he was now in the field hospital and not in some legendary place, Hitler felt that the British should not have been able to capture their positions in that battle.
