1855 United States Tycoon

"Where am I?" Adolf Hitler tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids were extraordinarily heavy, as if an elephant was sitting on it. He heard something vaguely. It seemed that someone was walking nearby and some people were talking, but he couldn't hear clearly. He tried very hard to move, so a violent pain hit him, and then he woke up and opened his eyes.

What appeared in front of him was the white tent of the field hospital with a red cross printed on it. Hitler turned his neck laboriously and saw some people lying around. Many parts of their bodies were wrapped with white bandages, and some of the bandages still leaked blood. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Some people with minor injuries are already able to speak. They are talking to the other wounded. There is also a nurse busy in this big tent. However, she seems to be so busy that she doesn’t have time to care about most of the wounded. .

At this time, several nurses followed a doctor who was pale and seemed to have not slept for several days. They walked in to a hospital bed next to Hitler.

"Has the temperature of No. 148 been taken?" the doctor asked.

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

"What happened to the ulcers in the blisters on his body?" Dr. Atom said again, "Untie the bandage and let me see."

So a nurse began to remove the bandage for the wounded. As the bandage was continuously opened, a strong bloody, rancid smell, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, poured into Hitler's nose, who was sleeping next to him. Hitler looked over there hard, wanting to see the situation of the wounded, but because he was lying down, and Dr. Atum was just blocking him and the wounded, so he looked at everything. Unclear.

Doctor Atom frowned: "The body tissues are still decayed, and new blisters have emerged. The situation is not optimistic. You have to check it out every hour, and cut the blisters when you find them. It is then cleaned with disinfectant, and if there is any necrotic tissue, it must be removed immediately. You know?"

"But Dr. Atom, we are not doctors, we are 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, insufficient doctors, and not enough major operations! Yesterday I had four operations, and today there are three waiting there. Hell, yesterday we even let The chef is here to help with the amputation! The doctor has time to do small things like removing necrotic tissue? Besides, you have not seen how to remove necrotic tissue before, just do it."

"But Dr. Atom, we are worried that we are inexperienced and will spoil things." The nurse whispered.

"Don't worry, it won't go anywhere." Dr. Atom said, "Anyway, if you don't cut it, he will definitely die. If you have done the excision, disinfection or something, he will probably die, and it will be the same if I am replaced. In short, If you help to remove it, he might still survive. Okay, let's take a look at the next patient."

So Dr. Atome turned around, and he glanced at Hitler blankly, as if Hitler was not a wounded person, or even a person, but something.

"No. 149 woke up today? How is the body temperature?" Dr. Atom asked.

"Yes, doctor, his fever subsided around twelve o'clock last night." A nurse replied.

"Well, open his bandage and show it to me," the doctor said.

...

"Very good, recovery is very good." Doctor Atom nodded and said, "boy, you are lucky, you should not be able to die. Okay, let's see the next one."

At this time, Hitler had already remembered dimly, and remembered the reason why he was here:

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

"Yellow Cross Poison! (the German term for mustard gas)" someone shouted, and then everyone held their breath in a hurry and put on their gas masks. Although, everyone in the trenches knows that gas masks alone cannot withstand the "Yellow Cross" gas. But it can at least guarantee to reduce the poisonous gas entering the lungs and eyes.

Hitler's movements were not slow. When he smelled the smell, he had already held his breath and closed his eyes. In the pre-war training, the officers told them that the eyes are mostly very sensitive to all kinds of poisonous gases and are easily injured. Therefore, during training, the process of putting on a gas mask must be carried out under the premise of blindfolding.

It takes a long time for the mustard gas to pass through the skin to make the poisoned object lose combat effectiveness. Even at high concentrations, it takes one and a half to two hours. However, the areas contaminated by mustard gas are highly poisonous, and these poisonous poisons are enough to kill people for dozens of hours. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the soldiers in this area should be withdrawn immediately, but if you do so, there will be gaps on the front, and the British (hell, they actually have so many full-body chemical protection suits) will be easy. Occupy here and threaten the safety of the entire division. Therefore, Hitler and the others can't retreat yet. Of course, they can withdraw after the reinforcements in full chemical protective clothing and disinfection and cleaning equipment come. However, when the reinforcements will come, only God knows.Hitler had put on a gas mask, and then he opened his eyes. Immediately got into the anti-cannon hole in the trench. In order to defend against possible poisonous gas, the soldiers themselves made certain modifications to the blastholes. They fitted these anti-blast holes with thick wool felt curtains, got in, put down the curtains, pressed the four sides, and poured water on them, which to a large extent could also block a lot of poisonous gas.

Hitler hid in the cave for almost two hours, during which time the British shelling never stopped. It's just that most of the British shells fell behind his position. Hitler knew that this was the British using shells to isolate all possible reinforcements. This method of wasting shells sounded like a fantasy in the past, but in today's war, it is already a very, very conventional method.

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

British people wear very thick chemical protective clothing. This makes the actions of the British very inflexible. At this time, the cannons on the German side also rang. In artillery, especially in large-caliber artillery, the German army has a clear advantage. Because the Germans have more developed railways, relying on the temporarily laid railways, the Germans put a large number of large-caliber artillery into the battle. On the battlefield, whether the French or the British, their guns accounted for the vast majority of their 3-inch guns. In contrast, the 6-inch guns are much less. This is not only due to the larger scale of the German industry, but also due to differences in tactical thinking. Compared to the German army, which relied more on railways and automobiles, the British and French relied more on mules and horses. The Mule Marco cannot pull a cannon over 3 inches.

So Hitler saw that fireballs exploded in the British attacking array. Based on the size of the fireball, Hitler could easily determine which ones were 100 guns, which ones were 150 guns, and which ones were larger 203mm guns. Sometimes, occasionally one or two larger fireballs exploded. , That is the shell fired by the 280 caliber train gun.

In the East, there has always been a saying that recruits are afraid of guns and veterans are afraid of machine guns. Because it is said that veterans can rely on the howling of the shells to judge where the shells will fall, so they know how to avoid them. In contrast, machine guns are much more difficult to deal with. However, this statement is not feasible in Europe, because the density of artillery on the European battlefield is really not comparable to that of the East. At every moment, there are many shells falling on the ground, there is no place where you can easily avoid the shelling. In fact, even in the original history, since World War I, artillery caused more casualties to the enemy than infantry. (The Chinese army didn’t do this until Shangganling, and when it came to Songmaoling, the Vietnamese soldiers killed by the infantry could not even keep up with the fraction of the artillery’s deaths.) Not to mention, in this time and space, because of Shi Gaozhi’s The impact, the size of the artillery is even larger than the original history. Therefore, the British's first attack did not even rush into the German machine gun firepower circle, and it was over under the cover of artillery.

However, the British quickly organized an attack. The balloon they raised found the German artillery firing in the distance, so the British artillery began to fight with artillery, and the Germans naturally returned the color. More artillery was thrown into each other's fight, which also allowed the British soldiers to rush to the front of the German positions.

At this time, Hitler had already had some symptoms of poisoning. His eyes had double images, and he could hardly aim at them. At the same time, he felt the pain on his skin like being stabbed by a needle. But he still reluctantly raised the Mauser 98 rifle and fired indiscriminately at the British. The British also shot at them, but their heavy chemical suits interfered with them, so their shooting was equally unreliable.

However, the Germans still have a lot of water-cooled machine guns. Although these machine guns did not perform well today, they still brought great damage to the British. Coupled with the influence of the barbed wire, although many barbed wire was breached by British artillery shells, it still played a sluggish effect. As a result, groups of British people were reached in front of the trenches. As for then, Hitler passed out in a coma. However, considering that he is now appearing in the field hospital rather than in some legendary places, Hitler felt that the British should have failed to capture their positions in that battle.
