Chapter 470 Berlin

The transport plane first flew to Paris, and then flew to Germany after refueling.

This excited the soldiers on the plane, and from time to time someone shouted excitedly: "Look, that's Nofelden, my hometown!"

"That's Meisenheim, I worked there!"

...

"Captain!" Then the soldiers shouted to Qin Chuan: "Frankfurt, Frankfurt is below!"

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was his "hometown", so he turned his head and looked down. The dense houses were shrouded in smoke and looming, and the chimneys that stood up to the sky were constantly spewing out black smoke... Frankfurt on the Main River is the fifth largest city in Germany. Due to its convenient transportation, it has become one of the important industrial cities in Germany. At this time, the people on the ground are probably working hard to produce the weapons and supplies they need for the German army distributed in other countries.

"Captain, do you see where your home is?" Werner asked.

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan replied, "What I saw in the sky is a little different from what I saw on the ground!"

"Yes!" Dominic replied, "I couldn't find my home either!"

"It's a pity that they didn't give us parachutes!" Qin Chuan said, "Otherwise I should have invited you to go down for a drink!"

The soldiers laughed together.

Qin Chuan was thinking that if he really went down, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't find his home. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about this problem.

The transport plane continued to fly northeast. At this time, everyone felt a little cold. The temperature in Germany was different from that in North Africa. The soldiers were still wearing African uniforms of the African Corps.

But this problem was soon solved.

Planes landed in Berlin one after another. It was snowing lightly in the sky. Although the soldiers were shivering with cold, they couldn't help cheering after getting off the plane.

"This is Germany, we are back!"

"We can go home, man, it's unbelievable, we are in Berlin!"

"Look, it's snow! It's so beautiful here!"

...

Qin Chuan can understand their feelings. They have been under great pressure from the war abroad for a long time. They didn't expect to be able to return to their homeland suddenly now. Although it may be far away from their hometown, it is actually more painful to be close. Some soldiers are from Berlin. They tried to ask for leave to go back and have a look, but they failed in the end.

"Quiet, soldiers!" A major shouted to the team with a loudspeaker: "Now, line up and enter the house on the east side. You have five minutes to take a shower and then collect your equipment!"

The team first gathered together, and then entered the house on the east side of the airport in teams as a company. There were hundreds of open shower rooms in the house. The order was to take off their clothes and stand under the nozzle, and then the steaming hot water was sprinkled on the naked soldiers.

Qin Chuan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had taken a hot shower, especially after being frozen for several hours on the plane. When the hot water was sprinkled, almost everyone couldn't help but shout happily.

Unfortunately, the time was only five minutes, and then the soldiers were given a set of winter clothes according to their ranks.

The equipment should be said to be very sophisticated. In addition to the cotton coat that winter clothes should have, there was a special camouflage helmet cloth on the helmet, a woolen hat under the helmet, leather boots, leather gloves, and a special cloak, all in gray and white.

At this time, the soldiers' eyes showed some fear. Qin Chuan heard someone whispering:

"Why do they dress us like this?"

"Who knows? Maybe the current military uniforms are like this!"

...

The soldiers are still deceiving themselves. They know in their hearts that these are the camouflages needed for front-line operations. In other words, they will soon go to the front line again.

Then, the soldiers were led to a dormitory with many bunk beds and new equipment according to the original configuration... This made the soldiers more determined to go to the front line, because everyone knew that it was easier to get weapons in Berlin, but it was difficult to change equipment at the front line, so when the troops went to the front line and might stay there for a long time, the whole unit would often change a batch of new equipment.

So, the atmosphere quickly became depressing and dull.

Qin Chuan didn't know what to say to the soldiers, because even he couldn't stand it.

"Captain!" At this time, the communicator reported to Qin Chuan: "The colonel notified you to go to the meeting!"

Qin Chuan responded, put his rifle aside and followed the communicator out of the dormitory.

The meeting room was in a room next to the dormitory, with a long table in the middle. Officers of the First Infantry Regiment came in one after another and sat down according to their seats.

Colonel Slain said with a straight face: "Perhaps you have guessed where we are going. Yes, we are going to the Soviet Union!"

The German officers sat upright without speaking, which might be regarded as a silent protest.

"I know!" Colonel Slain said: "This is difficult for us. More than a year without vacation in North Africa may not be a big deal, because many troops are like us. They are in Poland, France, etc., and few troops can get vacation. We don't have sufficient manpower like the British and Americans."

"Colonel!" Bazel said: "This may not be difficult, but we are a unit accustomed to fighting under the scorching sun in North Africa. Now suddenly we are in the Soviet Union with minus dozens of degrees to the north..."

"That's what I want to say, Major!" Colonel Slain said, "This is our difficulty, but we have to do it because our army was defeated in Moscow, and more than one million Soviet troops are chasing them... Those are more than one hundred divisions, which are 70% of our German forces. Do you know what this means? If we can't hold our ground and stop their attack, we're done, understand? All over!"

Colonel Slain slammed his fist on the table and couldn't help cursing, "These idiots!"

After walking back and forth in front of the table for a few circles, Colonel Slain stopped and said, "Now, tell me, do you still want to take a vacation? Do you still want to go home? Do you still want to complain that they will throw us to the Soviet Union?"

The meeting room was silent, and after a while, someone answered, "No, Colonel, let us go!"

"Yes, let us go! Otherwise, we can only sit and wait for death at home!"

"Let's go and show the Soviets some power!"

...

Qin Chuan knew that this would be the result. It was easy to think about German soldiers, and the same was true for those soldiers.
