Chapter 2: Burden

“Boom!”

A shell exploded near Qin Chuan, and the heat waves and sand raised by the shells hit Qin Chuan like a tide, mixed with the “swoosh” sound of shrapnel flying past.

Shells?

Qin Chuan was immediately confused... How could there be shells? ! !

Looking closely, there were not only shells, but also tanks, machine guns, cannons, and groups of soldiers wearing German military uniforms. At this time, they were holding their weapons and shooting at the opposite side, and the opposite side also fired bullets and shells.

Qin Chuan immediately confirmed that all this was true, because of the whistling sound of the shells, the blood flowers that burst out after the bullets hit the human body, the screams and convulsions of the dying soldiers on the ground, and the fragments of limbs and arms that burst out after the shells exploded in the crowd...

But Qin Chuan didn’t dare to believe that these were true, because the second before he was still in a German submarine, holding the Führer Medal in his hand... Wait, the Führer Medal!

"Ammunition! Frick! Ammunition, bring the damn ammunition..." A German machine gunner shouted at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan soon realized that the machine gunner was calling him, and he was even more certain when he saw the ammunition box not far away.

So, he was called "Frick" again?

Qin Chuan didn't have time to think too much. He stretched out his trembling hands to pick up the ammunition box. Just after taking a few steps, he saw the machine gunner looking at him with an incredible expression, so Qin Chuan understood... He should lie down, which is the most basic tactical action of a soldier, otherwise he will not survive long on the battlefield.

Qin Chuan cursed in his heart while crouching down... He hated being a soldier and hated being on the battlefield, but he could do nothing because he was already here. He could only try his best to keep himself alive.

The machine gun soon started to make a "whoosh" sound beside his ears. Qin Chuan easily recognized that it was the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun. He was even very clear about its performance and history. For example, it was a light and heavy dual-purpose machine gun, and it could use 50, 200 rounds of ammunition belts or 75 rounds of drums, etc.

But it was the first time to see it spitting flames in front of him, especially when the bullets it fired were still taking the lives of one enemy after another.

Gradually, the sound of gunfire weakened. The machine gunner raised his head slightly and looked forward, and said something that made Qin Chuan feel relieved: "Okay, the enemy has escaped!"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball, gasping for breath. He reached out to untie the helmet strap around his neck, which made Qin Chuan feel a little difficult to breathe, but he failed after trying several times, so Qin Chuan simply gave up.

"What's wrong? Frick!" The machine gunner asked Qin Chuan while retracting his machine gun: "You just looked like my autistic brother. You're not scared, are you? This is just a small battle..."

"Is Frick ever normal?" Another German soldier with black ash on his face came up and kicked Qin Chuan: "If one day he is normal, that would be strange!"

The German soldiers laughed around.

Qin Chuan ignored their sarcasm. He just wanted to lie down and rest, and then think about what happened.

But soon, his little wish was shattered.

"Keep going!" An officer shouted, and then shouted at Qin Chuan: "Frick, lift your butt and make it move, otherwise I will keep you here forever!"

Qin Chuan was not sure whether what the officer said was true or false, but he knew that it was not uncommon for German troops to shoot deserters and soldiers who were passive in combat, so he hurriedly climbed up, and because his legs were weak, he almost fell again.

This scene once again made the surrounding German soldiers laugh.

Qin Chuan followed the team forward while sorting out his thoughts. He could at least be sure of two points:

First: He is now in the desert, to be exact, in Libya. His unit is chasing the British army... Yes, Qin Chuan is now a member of the German army, numbered the 5th Light Armored Division. He remembered that Rommel landed in Libya with this unit and saved the Italian army on the verge of collapse.

Knowing this is at least not a bad thing, because at least the German army will win the battle, so he will not be in great danger... But who can say for sure? !

Second: This German soldier named "Frick", or it can be said that he himself, is not very popular with his comrades.

Qin Chuan thinks this should be related to the fact that Frick is not as good at charging as other German soldiers... This is somewhat similar to Qin Chuan.

Therefore, Frick's task on the battlefield is to transport ammunition, just like what he did on the battlefield just now, to provide ammunition for machine gunners, riflemen, etc.

To some extent, Qin Chuan still likes this mission very much, because it also means that he doesn't need to use K98K to aim at the enemy on the battlefield, and of course he will face the enemy's gun less.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at the rifle in his hand... He even collected a few of these rifles in modern times, but he didn't expect that he would take this thing to the battlefield one day.

"Hey, burden!" The machine gunner shook the empty water bottle in his hand a few meters ahead and shouted: "Is there any water?"

"No, there is no more!" Qin Chuan shook the empty water bottle.

Forgot to say, Frick's nickname is "burden".

"Damn it!" The machine gunner cursed: "How can the logistics troops move slower than us? We didn't die in battle, but we are dying of thirst!"

"Shut up, Gross!" The officer interrupted the machine gunner: "This way you will be alive before the supplies are delivered, because you are wasting your saliva!"

"Yes, Sergeant!" The machine gunner and a group of German soldiers smiled knowingly.

The machine gunner's name is Gross, nicknamed Big Bear, taken from his strong physique like a bear.

He always likes to show off his muscles in front of Qin Chuan intentionally or unintentionally... This makes Qin Chuan feel that he is seducing himself. Later, he realized that he just likes to show off in front of the weak, and Qin Chuan is obviously a weak person.

"Here!" The officer handed Qin Chuan a kettle and said, "Drink mine, save it!"

"Thank you, sir!" Qin Chuan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. It is not an ordinary gift to be able to give water to others in the desert.

The officer's name was Otto, and he was Qin Chuan's squad leader. Because he was a baker before he joined the army, the soldiers called him "baker" in addition to his rank "sergeant".

"We..." After walking for a while, Qin Chuan couldn't help asking, "Can we stop and rest for a while?"

The baker smiled, looked up at a plane flying overhead, and said, "Ask him!"

Qin Chuan didn't understand what this meant at first, but soon thought: Rommel always liked to sit on the plane to supervise his troops, so the person on the plane couldn't be Rommel!
