Chapter 251 Female prisoner
Qin Chuan and his subordinates climbed back to the trench. When they returned to the trench, everyone was limp and had only breathing strength.
"Good job, Lieutenant!" said Bazel: "It seems that I am right to let you go out and 'block the positions'. If someone else goes, we will be overwhelmed by the Greeks at this moment!"
Qin Chuan knew what Bazer meant. What he feared most in the dark was melee combat and melee. The battle just now was actually Qin Chuan and others using mines and defenses to force the Greeks to a squad, and then the firepower of the main German army's machine guns, mortars and other firepower could be used.
But Qin Chuan's platoon also suffered heavy losses. In this battle, eight soldiers were lost, which left Qin Chuan's platoon with only eleven people, and they were all injured. Qin Chuan's left arm was not sure when a shrapnel was embedded in Qin Chuan's left arm... This situation often occurs when the battlefield is injured. Even if he is injured during a tense battle, it is not until he relaxes. The pain is severe.
Bazer tore open Qin Chuan's sleeve and took a flashlight, then said, "It's nothing serious, I can continue to fight! Medical soldiers..."
The medical soldier immediately ran to Qin Chuan to treat Qin Chuan's wounds. He even put down another soldier's injuries and ran to Qin Chuan... Not to mention the situation of equality and specialization on the battlefield, unequal relationships have been formed when each soldier has made merits. Important people should be taken care of specifically, and it is normal for them to give their lives to take care of them.
Qin Chuan was used to this, so he let the medical staff deal with it.
The medical staff handled it very carefully. He called a few soldiers to block the surroundings with raincoats to prevent the flashlight from leaking out and attracting bullets and shells. Then he carefully took out the shrapnel with the camera...
"I found a debris inside, lieutenant!" said the medical soldier, "So I have to cut your wound and take it out!"
"Hmm!" Qin Chuan responded, and soon a severe pain of splitting came from his left arm, and then he felt a slight relief as if a thorn was taken out of his arm.
The medical soldiers sobered up the wound with iodine, then sprinkled some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs and bandaged them... If other soldiers were not treated like this, they would simply treat it and then send it to the later stage before further treatment.
"You should go and have a rest!" said Bazel.
"Thank you, sir, but I think it's better to stay here!" Qin Chuan glanced at the soldiers around him. Many of them were injured more than Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan, as the second lieutenant, was embarrassed to go down and rest.
Bazer nodded to express his understanding, patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and left.
"A tough battle, isn't it?" Qin Chuan said to his subordinates.
"Yes, Lieutenant!" Werner replied while bandaging his legs: "I almost thought I could not come back!"
"I almost let the Greeks cheat!" Alphredo raised his bandaged left hand and was knocked away with two fingers: "So, I paid the price for my stupidity!"
The baker touched the bandage wrapped around his head with lingering fear and said, "My head was blank at that time and I didn't know what to do. It was the lieutenant's calmness and correct command that allowed us to survive!"
German soldiers agreed:
"Yes, I was just thinking about escaping back to the trenches!"
"So too, but now when I think about it... doing so will only die faster!"
...
Qin Chuan was a little worried that his subordinates would lose their morale due to heavy casualties, but now it seems that this worry is completely redundant.
This may be said that German soldiers were well-trained, but Qin Chuan felt that the more important commander... If Qin Chuan made a wrong judgment and decision in the battle just now, the result would be completely different.
Although the troops are suffering heavy casualties, the soldiers all agree with Qin Chuan's command and have won victory and honor. Therefore, their morale has not only not decreased but has increased, but has even affected other troops.
Sure enough, Qin Chuan heard Bazel scolding other soldiers: "Get up on your spirits, you bastards! Do you see how the row did? They didn't step back before the offensive of thousands of people... If you were to change to you, I believe I would have been wet my pants long ago!"
Listening to the scolding, the German soldiers couldn't help but smile proudly.
"Second Lieutenant!" At this time, the adjutant ran to Qin Chuan and said, "The Major asked you to go there!"
"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan picked up his rifle without saying a word and followed the adjutant along the traffic trench toward the command center.
The adjutant walked and said, "It's about the prisoner. The major wanted to know some information from her, such as how many people they had, how many equipment, etc., but the prisoner refused to say anything!"
"But I can't help much, right?" Qin Chuan was a little confused.
"The Major heard that it was the prisoner you caught, and he almost strangled her to death!" said the adjutant: "The Major hopes this will be a bit powerful, so...you have to give her some color at that time, do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuanying responded, but he still didn't know what to do.
A few minutes later, the two walked into the command center, which was a temporary anti-cannon hole built by wood against rocks. The outside was covered with rain ponchos and a kerosene lamp was lit inside.
What surprised Qin Chuan was that the female captive was not tied up, but sat opposite Major Kleiman, just like a guest was discussing something... This may be a way for Germans to show gentlemanly demeanor in front of women!
That's why they needed Qin Chuan to give the female prisoner some bad memories.
The moment Qin Chuan walked into the command center, the female prisoner recognized Qin Chuan and couldn't help but glared at Qin Chuan fiercely.
When Major Kleman saw Qin Chuan come in, he raised his eyebrows and said politely in English: "I think you recognize this lieutenant, Major! Yes, he is the one who captured you. He is my most outstanding subordinate. I heard that he almost killed you... If you don't cooperate, I believe he will be willing to complete this unfinished task!"
"So please, Major!" The female captive spoke very fluent in English.
Qin Chuan saw a hint of helplessness and a look of help in Major Kleiman's eyes, and he almost laughed out loud... Qin Chuan should have captured a male officer instead of a female officer, so that they would not be so embarrassed.
