Wang Tiedan carried a gun on his back, sat on a wheeled armored vehicle and ate Iraqi dates, muttering while eating: "This date is so sweet, I have never eaten such a delicious date in China." ”

"Don't you know, dates are sweet only when they are made from dry land, just like oranges." The former acting platoon commander who has turned into a regular also took a jujube and replied while eating, "The oranges produced in that part of my house are very big in the year when there is a lot of rain, but they are not sweet, they are full of water in the mouth, and the taste is very light, and when the rain is less, the oranges look wrinkled on the outside, but when you peel off the orange petals inside, it is the same as soaking honey." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the driver of the armored car poked his head out: "The lychees in my house are all tied to ......."

"Speak Mandarin."

"The power chickens in my house are all tied like this, there is little rain, pound and lick, so sweet. The rain pinched a lot, and the big one was beaten, but it was not sweet. ”

Wang Tiedan was happy.

The platoon commander asked, "What are you happy about?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think it's strange, why is this Guangdong the same country as us, and the words are different."

"Actually, I don't understand your hometown dialect either." The platoon commander said frankly, "China is too big, and the terrain and customs are different, so different languages have evolved." ”

"But platoon commander," another newcomer joined the conversation, "you see that our respective hometown dialects are quite different, why are we still the same country?" You look at Europe, now it is divided into many different countries, but think about it carefully, the difference between the languages of people in Europe is actually similar to the dialect of our Chinese, you see that German and English are close relatives (yes, these two are close relatives, both West Germanic branches). ”

The platoon commander looked up and found that it was the platoon commander of the wheeled combat vehicle platoon that accompanied their platoon, and the two were of the same rank.

"It seems like that's the case. Lieutenant Mu, do you have a study of languages? ”

"I was originally a translator, but when the translator was too boring, I applied to be transferred to the tank platoon."

"I see."

Wang Tiedan seemed to be aroused, he looked up at the commander of the chariot platoon, and asked curiously: "This English and German are related?" But I don't sound so different, German is like chopping wood, clattering, English is like ...... It's like ......"

It seems that Wang Tiedan's imagination was exhausted when he chopped wood, and he didn't say what English was like for a long time.

"English sounds softer, doesn't it?" The platoon commander spoke his mind instead of Wang Tiedan.

Wang Tiedan smiled: "Yes, soft!" ”

"The softest is Mandarin, right?" Someone on the other side of the campfire interjected.

"Yes, French sounds the softest." Wang Tiedan also nodded and said, "It's too soft, as long as the French speak, I think of the French woman." ”

"Hmph, as if you've heard a lot of French people talk."

"Why haven't I heard of it! I met a lot of French people on the boat I came here, and I could hear them talking very clearly. Oh, this French woman's are so big, big and white, how can they be so big? ”

"People usually eat meat, of course it's bigger." The platoon commander replied disappreciatively.

At this time, the platoon commander of the tank platoon booed, and then pressed his headset.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

A moment later, the platoon commander of the tank platoon said: "I heard the radio of the Americans, but they spoke a strange language, I could be sure that it was a language, but I had never heard it, not any of the language families I was familiar with." ”

A person who has received professional language training, even if he has been exposed to a language that he has not been exposed to before, as long as he has studied a language belonging to the same language family as the language, he will generally be able to quickly touch the class. So it will be easier for English-speaking people to learn German, Russians will have less difficulty mastering Ukrainian and Belarusian, French people will have easier time learning Italian and Spanish, and so on. In the whole of Europe, only Greek and Albanian are the only seedlings - yes, most people think that European civilization originated from Greece or something, but the languages of European countries are not the same language family as Greece, and after knowing this, looking at another time and space Greece exiting the eurozone and other things like that, there is a feeling of "this is not strange at all".

Lieutenant Mu of the chariot platoon continued to listen for a while, and muttered softly: "I think this may be some kind of Indian language, but almost every tribe of Indian tribes has a different language, and I haven't learned it specifically, so I can't understand it at all." ”

"Is the sender close to us?" Wang Tiedan's platoon commander asked.

"I don't know, we don't have an electric car. But it sounds so clear, it's probably near us. ”

At this time, Wang Tiedan's unit was operating in the hinterland of the US army - the reason why there was a bonfire in the hinterland of the US army was because if there was no bonfire, the US patrol might find that the situation was not normal from afar, and now there was a bonfire, and the Americans would think that it was their own person when they saw it from a distance, which took advantage of the mindset of the US military, and everyone felt that the reconnaissance team that went deep into the hinterland should not light a bonfire at night.

This method is quite effective, and several American reconnaissance planes have already passed overhead this evening, and if they had been discovered, American night planes would have dropped bombs long ago -- because the two sides were fighting very fiercely in the air during the day, the warring sides discovered the good of the night air raids almost at the same time, and now both sides have night bombing units that wash each other's floors every night.

Of course, if you don't light a bonfire, those night reconnaissance planes probably won't be able to detect the reconnaissance team's existence at all.

Wang Tiedan looked at the platoon commander, he intuitively felt that the platoon commander might have to take some action, from the beginning of the war to the present, Wang Tiedan has been working under the name of this acting platoon commander for a long time, and he knows the temper of the platoon commander well.

"Well," and sure enough, after the platoon commander made his decision, he looked up at Lieutenant Mu in the armored platoon, "let's go and see what's going on, if the Americans are going to use the Indians as radio officers, we should catch one and let him help us translate the Americans' radio communications." ”

The reason why the platoon commander quickly came to the conclusion that the Americans were using Indians as radio messengers was because the Mesopotamian Republican Guard was also doing the same thing, as early as the 40s, when Lin Guokai was sending people to the Persian Gulf, he transported some ethnic minorities from Yunnan over, and now they are all radio correspondents of the Republican Guard, and it is very difficult to decipher these radio communications, as long as Lin Guokai does not tell the Americans which nationality he is sending over, the Americans may not be able to complete the decipherment when the war is over.

Lin Youde gave these people a code name: "Wind Whisperer." ”

"It's not easy to catch the American gossier." Lieutenant Mu didn't seem very confident, "The Windtalker will definitely be accompanied by a person in charge of secrecy, and when we raid the enemy's garrison, that person will draw his pistol and shoot the Windtalker in the head." ”

"So we need to move fast, just kill the guy in charge of secrecy before the enemy shoots." The platoon commander's will was very resolute.

Lieutenant Mu just shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, anyway, our mission is to sabotage behind enemy lines, and raiding the enemy's garrison or something is still within the scope of our mission, I have no objection." ”

"Then all of them, get in the car...... No, wait a minute, let's go out on horseback first and see where the enemy is. A few of you have dark faces, take something and wrap your head in a bag, like a little bit. We rode the horses of the Arabian horse corps that we had destroyed this morning to reconnoitre. ”

"Platoon commander, we don't know Alabai." Wang Tiedan was embarrassed and said, "My face is black, but as soon as I open my mouth, it is exposed." ”

"What are you afraid of, Americans don't know Arabic. Hurry up, get moving. After finding the camp, someone came back to report the news. ”

So the detachment went into action, and soon seven or eight people set out on horseback.

Wang Tiedan followed the platoon commander all the way to the east, and after running for a while, Wang Tiedan said: "Platoon commander, I still think forget it, you see just the two of us, the Americans see that something is wrong, how can there be two people riding horses across the desert, it must be wrong." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk when you see the Americans, if the Americans have to ask you questions, you reply to him in Chinese, just add an Ake after each sentence."

"Can this work, platoon commander, don't cheat me......"

Before the words fell, a jeep turned out from behind the sand dunes in front of him, and walked this way with his headlights on, and when it hit the two people on horseback, the car stopped with a loud voice in English.

Wang Tiedan naturally didn't understand.

The platoon commander also replied in English, and the two approached the Americans at this moment.

The Americans' shouts became nervous, Wang Tiedan estimated that they were shouting "if you get closer, you will shoot", and without waiting for the platoon commander to react, he first grabbed the reins and let the horse stop.

But the platoon commander then stopped his horse and began to talk to the Americans in the same place.

Wang Tiedan stared at the American's car, and now both of them have changed their captured American-style equipment, probably because of this, the Americans did not shoot, but continued to interrogate the platoon commander in English. In this process, Wang Tiedan's eyes gradually adapted to the lights of the American car, and he could roughly see the outline of the car and the people in the car.

At this time, the Americans turned to Wang Tiedan and asked him what he said in English, and the platoon commander immediately explained to the Americans in English, probably saying that Wang Tiedan did not understand English.

I didn't expect something to go wrong the next moment.

The Americans threw out an Arabic phrase.

Wang Tiedan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted violently, raised his gun and opened fire at the Americans, shouting while fighting: "Ala Ak!" ”

After a sudden burst of strafing, Wang Tiedan was still holding the trigger, but the gun had already entered a state of empty compartment hang-up - the Republican Guard's German-made assault rifle did not have an empty tank, which is unique to American automatic rifles.

He gasped for air, then looked down to see if he had been shot.

"Good fight," said the platoon commander, "I just thought it was over, even if you reacted quickly." ”

As he spoke, he jumped off his horse and began to examine the bodies of the American soldiers in the jeep, and after a moment he whistled: "Yes, find a map, we know where that station is." ”R1148
