Chapter 504 The Wounded
The Soviet soldier screamed and rolled far away, taking several Soviet soldiers behind him with him.
This is the advantage of charging from a high position on the snow. At this time, the competition is no longer strength, but speed and weight.
Keller followed Qin Chuan, holding a submachine gun and sweeping down two people, revealing a Soviet soldier behind him who was pulling the grenade string to throw forward... This Soviet soldier was obviously a little late, or it can be said that this was the limitation of the terrain. He had just climbed out of the drop line and was still behind. He didn't know that the Germans had launched a charge, and still thought that the target was in the trench more than 20 meters away.
Qin Chuan didn't hesitate, and suddenly put his rifle against his chest and pushed hard... The Soviet soldier immediately lost his balance and fell back to the slope.
This may not be a big deal. There were Soviet soldiers rushing up everywhere behind him. There were so many people cushioning him and it didn't hurt at all to fall back.
The problem was that he was holding a grenade that he hadn't thrown out in time, and because he lost his balance and couldn't throw it out for a while, the Soviet soldier was so anxious that he screamed "wow wow", but the other Soviet soldiers didn't know what he was shouting.
Soon, the grenade exploded and blew up a group of Soviet soldiers.
Then the machine gunner set up the machine gun on the slope, and then "whoosh whoosh" fired a row of bullets at the slope... Blood splattered, screams piled up, and the Soviet soldiers who were not mentally prepared fell in groups under the dense bullets of the German army, and had no power to fight back.
On the other side, the tanks that were rushing up the slope were also blown up by the German army.
Tanks are most vulnerable when they are driving up the slope, because at this time they have a natural elevation angle, and it is a large angle. The gunner and machine gunner can only see the sky, and have no perception and attack power to the outside world.
Therefore, the German soldiers could easily approach it, and then stuff cluster grenades or explosive packs under its chassis...
Soon, the Soviet soldiers retreated like a tide.
"Retreat!" Qin Chuan shouted.
Retreat is feasible at this time, taking advantage of the Soviet army being beaten back.
So the soldiers retreated to the cellar and the second line of defense under the bombing of Soviet artillery and the pursuit of fighter planes.
As soon as he ran back to the cellar, Qin Chuan ordered: "Blow up the tunnel entrance!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The reason for doing this is very simple. The Lovat River defense line has lost its due defense power under the attack of Soviet engineering vehicles, so it can only be abandoned.
"Wait, wait..." Werner ran in while shouting, dragging a screaming wounded soldier behind him.
Several people hurried up to help drag the wounded in. In the light of the fire, you can see that his right calf is bloody and fleshy, obviously hit by a bullet.
"Call the medical soldier immediately!" Qin Chuan ordered Thomas.
"Yes, Captain!" Thomas responded and turned around and went into the tunnel.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chuan and the soldiers did preliminary treatment for the wounded, such as cutting open the wounded's trouser legs and wiping them with warm water to melt the frozen blood in the wound.
Soon the medical soldier and Thomas arrived.
The medical soldier made a simple examination of the wounded's leg, and then sentenced the leg to death: "I need to amputate it immediately!"
"No, I don't want to become a cripple!" The wounded objected.
"You can choose to die with it!" The medical soldier replied expressionlessly, and quickly tied the wounded's leg with a rubber band in his hand.
"You mean right here?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised: "Performing amputation surgery under such conditions?"
"Do you have any better suggestions, Captain?" The medical soldier asked back: "If you have a way, you can carry him to the headquarters!"
So Qin Chuan understood that there was Soviet artillery fire and bombing by fighter planes outside, and the Soviet army would soon launch another attack and occupy the position above Qin Chuan and others' heads, and it would be impossible to go out.
Another way, that is, the passage between the cellars, may be possible, but it is too small and can only accommodate one person. The wounded will only block the passage and there is no time.
"Hold him down!" The medical soldier said and put a wooden board under the feet of the wounded.
Then the medic took out something that scared everyone, a saw...
"Sorry, corporal!" The medic stuffed a stick into the wounded's mouth and said, "We are running out of morphine. You know, in order to send as much ammunition and food as possible, they can only reduce the transportation of other materials. We can only leave morphine for the seriously injured..."
"So!" Thomas looked at the medic in disbelief: "Are you saying that amputation is a minor injury?"
The medic raised the saw and aimed it at the wounded's foot, answering: "You ask this because you haven't seen a seriously injured person!"
The medic started to work, and the casualty whimpered painfully from his throat, but it was not this that made people feel terrified, but the wounded's struggle and trembling with all their strength, and the "crackling" sound when the saw sawed the bone, which gave people an illusion that the saw was sawing their feet. That sound would make everyone nearby feel trembling and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Thomas couldn't help but scream out loud, as if he wanted to release the fear in his heart, but this obviously had no effect, because Qin Chuan saw that his face was distorted by pain.
The process ended a few minutes later. The wounded had fainted, and Thomas had a broken leg in his hand... He held the broken leg for a while, then suddenly dropped it and vomited loudly in the corner.
"Is the operation successful?" Kuhn asked the medic.
"All I can do is give him some medicine!" The medic replied: "Whether he can survive depends on himself!"
Kuhn nodded silently.
After the medic left, Thomas walked back weakly and sat on the ground.
His face was a mess, and he didn't know whether it was tears or vomit.
"Sorry, Captain!" Thomas said, "I can't control myself!"
"No need to apologize, Sergeant!" Qin Chuan replied, "You'll get used to it!"
"Seriously, Sergeant!" Alfredo interrupted, "You're doing much better than when we first got here!"
Werner handed Thomas a can of beef in a joking tone and asked, "Don't you want some?"
Thomas, who had just calmed down, couldn't help himself when he saw the beef and rushed to the corner to vomit again.
"That's enough, Werner!" The baker was a little dissatisfied with Werner's behavior.
"What?" Werner spread his hands and replied, "I just want him to adapt as soon as possible!"
The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
