Chapter 255 Female Captive

Qin Chuan led his men to climb back to the trench. The moment they returned to the trench, everyone collapsed in the trench and had only the strength to breathe.

"Well done, lieutenant!" Bazel said, "It seems that I was right to ask you to go out and 'block the position'. If someone else had gone, we would have been overwhelmed by the Greeks!"

Qin Chuan knew what Bazel meant. The most feared thing in the dark was close combat and melee. The battle just now was actually Qin Chuan and others using mines and defenses to push the Greeks in front of the position for a while, and then the main machine guns, mortars and other firepower of the German army could play a role.

But Qin Chuan's platoon also suffered heavy losses. Eight soldiers were lost in this battle, which left Qin Chuan's platoon with only eleven people, and they were all injured. Qin Chuan didn't know when a piece of shrapnel was embedded in his left arm... This often happens when you are injured on the battlefield. Even if you are injured during a tense battle, you don't know until you relax and it hurts badly.

Bazel tore open Qin Chuan's sleeve and shone a flashlight on him, then said, "It's nothing serious, you can still fight! Medical soldier..."

The medical soldier ran to Qin Chuan to treat his wounds. He even put down another soldier's wounds and ran to Qin Chuan... On the battlefield, don't say that everyone is equal and there is no special treatment. The unequal relationship has been formed when each soldier has made meritorious service. Important people should be given special care, and it is normal to even sacrifice their lives to take care of them.

Qin Chuan has been accustomed to this, so he let the medical soldier handle it.

The medical soldier handled it very carefully. He called a few soldiers to block the surrounding with raincoats to prevent the flashlight from leaking out and attracting bullets and shells, and then carefully took out the shrapnel with a camera...

"I found a fragment inside, Lieutenant!" The medical soldier said, "So I have to cut open your wound and take it out!"

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan responded, and soon there was a sharp pain in his left arm, and then he felt a sense of relief as if a thorn was taken out of his arm.

The medic used iodine to sober up the wound, then sprinkled some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs on it and bandaged it... Other soldiers would not be treated like this. They would be simply treated and sent to the rear for further treatment.

"You should go and 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 more seriously injured than Qin Chuan. As a second lieutenant, Qin Chuan was embarrassed to go down and rest.

Bazel nodded to show his understanding, patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and left.

"It was a tough battle, wasn't it?" Qin Chuan said to his subordinates.

"Yes, lieutenant!" Werner answered while bandaging his leg: "I almost thought I couldn't come back!"

"I was almost fooled by those Greeks!" Alfredo raised his bandaged left hand, two fingers of which were shot off: "So, I paid the price for my stupidity!"

The baker touched the bandage wrapped around his head with lingering fear and said: "My mind was blank at that time, and I didn't know what to do at all. It was the lieutenant's calmness and correct command that kept us alive!"

The German soldiers agreed:

"Yes, at that time I just wanted to escape back to the trench!"

"Me too, but now I think about it... doing this will only make you die faster!"

...

Qin Chuan was a little worried that his subordinates would lose morale due to heavy casualties, but now it seems that this worry is completely unnecessary.

This may be said to be the well-trained German soldiers, but Qin Chuan feels that the more important commander... If Qin Chuan made a wrong judgment and decision in the battle just now, resulting in heavy casualties, the result would be completely different.

Although the troops also suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers all agreed with Qin Chuan's command, and they also won the victory and won the glory. Therefore, the morale did not decrease but improved, and even affected other troops.

Sure enough, after a while, Qin Chuan heard Bazel scolding other soldiers: "Come on, you bastards! Did you see what the first row did? They didn't retreat a step in the face of the attack of thousands of people... If it were you, I believe I would have wet my pants long ago!"

Hearing this 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!"

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan picked up the rifle without saying a word and followed the adjutant along the communication trench to the command post.

The adjutant said as he walked: "It's about the prisoner. The major wants to know some information from her, such as how many people they have, how much 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 you captured this prisoner and almost strangled her to death!" The adjutant said, "The major hopes that this will have a deterrent effect, so... you have to teach her a lesson, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan agreed, but still didn't know what to do.

A few minutes later, the two walked into the command center, which was a temporary anti-artillery cave built with wood against rocks. The light was blocked by a raincoat outside, and a kerosene lamp was lit inside.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that the female prisoner was not tied up, but sat opposite Major Kleiman, as if she was a guest discussing something... This might be a way for the Germans to show gentlemanly manners in front of women!

So, 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 glared at him fiercely.

When Major Kleiman saw Qin Chuan coming 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 by mistake... If you don't cooperate, I believe he will be willing to complete this unfinished task!"

"Then please, Major!" The female prisoner's English was surprisingly fluent.

Qin Chuan saw a trace of helplessness and helplessness in Major Clement's eyes, and he almost laughed out loud... Qin Chuan should have captured a male officer instead of a female officer, so that they wouldn't be so embarrassed.

But Qin Chuan couldn't laugh, because he knew from Major Clement's face that it was time for him to perform.
