The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The first thing Qin Chuan thought of was straws.

But that will only happen after we go back. Now that we are lying here, we can’t tell Erwin to send him a straw.

Sure enough, soon three people were eliminated because of this problem... One of them gave up voluntarily because he couldn't think of a way to continue in this situation, and the other two were caught trying to drink water.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan slowly pulled a handful of thatch from the disguise. His movements were so slow that even such a simple movement took twenty minutes.

Then Qin Chuan put one end of the thatch into the kettle and put it in his mouth.

This kind of thatch is the thin-stemmed Stipa that grows in Africa, also called Lican grass. Because it is drought-resistant and very tough, many countries use it to make banknotes. It is also one of the few things that Africa can export. One of those things.

The water conductivity of Stipa tenuifolia is not very good... African plants generally have this characteristic, because if the water conductivity is good, the water will easily evaporate due to sun exposure, so the plant will lose too much water. And cannot survive, which is one of the reasons why banknotes will not get wet and become pulpy quickly when soaked in water.

However, because Qin Chuan held a small handful in his mouth, the gap between them actually acted as a straw, so it didn't take long for Qin Chuan to feel a little moist in his mouth, and then the moisture became more and more The more it is, the more it can basically meet the needs of the body. The disadvantage of this approach is that the kettle must be turned on all the time, so there is a lot of evaporation loss, but this is better than not drinking at all.

Perhaps it was because others had not thought of this method. At two o'clock in the afternoon when the temperature was the highest, most people could not insist on giving up voluntarily. Two of them even fainted from the sun and fell unconscious. Fortunately, Erwin kept paying attention to them and noticed that Bu hurriedly carried out rescue and this brought them back from the brink of death.

"Sir!" Erwin called from behind with a loudspeaker: "You are the only one left. Should we discuss improvement plans?"

Qin Chuan stood up from his hiding spot with a gun. He had already passed the most difficult moment, and it didn't make much sense to persist.

But as soon as Qin Chuan stood up, his feet softened and he fell to the ground again... He had been lying on the ground for too long, and he was still exposed to the sun. When he stood up, he felt his eyes were black and he was dizzy.

The German soldiers rushed to rescue him. It was nothing serious. After drinking a few water, Qin Chuan's consciousness slowly recovered.

"So you used Stipa as a conduit to replenish water!" Erwin couldn't help but praise Qin Chuan's kettle after looking at it: "It's a good method. Just now I was worried whether you were losing too much water!"

"In the end, none of us could survive the entire day!" Qin Chuan said, "So if this was a real battlefield, we would probably be wiped out!"

"No!" Erwin said: "I believe you can come back alive, but it's just you!"

This latent sniper attack was a nightmare for most people... The reason why I say "most" is because some of them were "sacrificed" from the beginning, so they were unable to appreciate the hardships that followed.

Therefore, Erwin even doubted whether this tactic was necessary.

"I have to say, sir!" Erwin said: "I think it is too difficult to do this. The possibility of the soldiers surviving is very low... being discovered means death, losing too much water means death, and even It is possible to encounter scorpions and poisonous snakes, which also means death, and their role is only to kill a few British soldiers!”

After a pause, Erwin continued: "Our soldiers are precious. Even if we can successfully exchange one soldier for two, three or even more enemies, it may not be cost-effective!"

In some respects, what Erwin said does make sense. The number of volunteers on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea was much larger than that of the U.S. military, and there was a huge gap in equipment. Therefore, it was cost-effective to use the "cold gun and cold gun" campaign to exchange lives for lives. .

The situation is different now. The British army has more troops than the German army, and the quality of the German soldiers is even better than that of the British soldiers. To exchange the lives of the German soldiers for the lives of the British soldiers is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

"This is not just a matter of exchanging lives for lives!" Qin Chuan replied: "It is more important to create a kind of psychological pressure, just like a sniper can suppress a platoon or even more after killing several enemies. Many enemies are the same, understand?”

"Yes, sir!" Erwin answered.

Erwin did not answer "understand", obviously because he still does not agree with this tactic... This is understandable, because the difficulty of this tactic itself is beyond the psychological endurance of Europeans.

But it is precisely this that can cause psychological shock and panic to the British troops who are also Europeans, and this is only one of the effects of this tactic.

Then Qin Chuan summarized the accumulated experience and summarized them into training materials.

The problem of drinking water was quickly solved...it only needed to place a slightly longer medical infusion tube in the kettle. This did not require much infusion tube consumption. One infusion tube was cut into several sections to suffice for several people. Used by soldiers.

At the same time, Qin Chuan also added some salt and sugar to the water, so as to replenish the sugar and salt lost by the body through sweating and avoid heat stroke.

On the other hand, Qin Chuan thought that they should lurk in pairs.

This can reduce the fatigue and fear of soldiers when lurking to a considerable extent... Two people take turns on duty, so that the shooter will not be fatigued by long-term observation and high tension in the dazzling sunlight. At the same time, the two can also communicate with each other and encourage each other, so that they will not feel psychologically afraid of falling into complete loneliness.

Qin Chuan used this method on the students, and sure enough, the situation was much better when they conducted the lurking exercise again two days later. This time, more than half of them persisted until the afternoon. A total of nine people, including Qin Chuan, persisted until the end and returned successfully.

After that, we just kept practicing, improving, practicing and improving again and again.

The students learn very quickly. After all, they are all elites transferred from various military units. They all have super endurance and especially everyone has a personality that refuses to admit defeat. It soon develops to the point where most of them can succeed. Survive to the end, and that's while shooting targets.

Seeing this, Erwin didn't say anything.

"If our soldiers can be like them..." Erwin said: "Then I believe we can give the British a good look!"

Qin Chuan believes that this is not a problem, because there are many ordinary soldiers, and what Qin Chuan has to do is to find those who can adapt to this kind of battle.
