Chapter 463: Berlin

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

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

"That's Meissenheim, I worked there!"

……

"Captain!" Then the soldiers shouted at Qin Chuan: "Frankfurt, this is Frankfurt below!" ”

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was his "hometown", so he turned his head to look down, and the dense houses were shrouded in smoke looming, and the chimneys towering towards the sky were constantly spewing black smoke outward...... Frankfurt am Main is the fifth largest city in Germany, and has become one of the most important industrial cities in Germany due to its convenient transportation.

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

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan replied: "What you see in the sky is a little different from what you see on the ground!" ”

"Yes!" Dominic replied, "I haven't been able to find the location of my house either!" ”

"It's a pity they didn't give us a parachute!" Qin Chuan said, "Otherwise, I should invite you to go down and have a drink!" ”

The soldiers burst into laughter.

Qin Chuan was thinking in his heart, if he really went down, he would be embarrassed if he couldn't find his own home, but fortunately he didn't have to worry about this problem.

The transport plane continued to fly northeast, and at this time everyone arrived a little cold, the temperature in Germany was not the same as that in North Africa, and the soldiers were still wearing African Korps African uniforms.

However, the problem was soon resolved.

One plane after another landed in Berlin, and it was snowing lightly, and the soldiers, shivering from the cold, could not help but cheer as they stepped off the plane.

"This is Germany, and we're back!"

"We can go home, man, unbelievable, we're in Berlin!"

"Behold, it's snow! It's so beautiful here! ”

……

Qin Chuan can understand their feelings, they have been under the great pressure of the war abroad for a long time, they did not expect to be able to suddenly return to their homeland now, although it may be far away from their hometown, in fact, it is more painful to be close, some of the soldiers are from Berlin, they tried to take leave to go back to see, but in the end it was not possible.

"Quiet, soldier!" A major shouted to the group with a bullhorn: "Now, march into the house on the east side, you have five minutes to take a shower, and then get your equipment!" ”

The team first assembled, then entered the house on the east side of the airfield, which had hundreds of open shower rooms, and was ordered to strip naked and stand under the spout, and then steam hot water was sprinkled on the red-striped soldiers.

Qin Chuan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had taken a hot bath, especially after being frozen on the plane for a few hours, almost everyone couldn't help but let out a cheerful cry when the hot water was spilled.

Unfortunately, it was only a short five minutes, and then the soldiers were given a set of winter clothes to change into according to their rank.

The equipment should be said to be very sophisticated, in addition to the cotton coat that should be used for winter clothing, the helmet is covered with a special camouflage helmet cloth, and the helmet is lined with a woolen hat, leather boots, leather gloves, and a special cloak, all of which are gray and white.

At this time, there was some horror in the eyes of the soldiers, and Qin Chuan heard someone whispering:

"Why are they dressing us up like this?"

"Who knows? Maybe that's how the current military uniform is! ”

……

The soldiers are still lying to themselves, they actually know in their hearts that these are the camouflage needed for front-line operations, in other words, they will soon be on the front line again.

Then, the soldiers were arranged in dormitories with many bunk beds, and they were given brand new equipment according to the original configuration...... This made the soldiers even more determined to go to the front, because everyone knew that it was relatively easy to get weapons in Berlin, but it was difficult to change equipment at the front, so when the troops went to the front and could stay on the front line for a long time, the whole army often changed to a new batch of equipment.

As a result, the atmosphere quickly became oppressive and dreary.

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

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

Qin Chuan answered, casually put the rifle to the side and followed the correspondent out of the dormitory.

The conference room was in a room next to the dormitory, with a long table in the middle, and the officers of the First Rank Corps walked in one after another and sat down according to their seats.

Colonel Slane grimaced and said: "Maybe you have already guessed where we are going, yes, we are going to the Soviet Union!" ”

The German officers sat upright and did not speak, which could perhaps be described as a silent protest.

"I know!" Colonel Slein said: "This is difficult for us, and it may not be a big deal to have more than a year without a vacation in North Africa, because many troops are like us, they are in Poland, France, etc., and few units can get vacation, and we do not have as many troops as the British and Americans." ”

"Colonel!" "It may not be difficult, but we are a force accustomed to fighting under the scorching sun of North Africa, and now we are suddenly ...... the Soviet Union, which is a few tens of degrees below zero to the north," Bazel said.

"That's what I want to say, Major!" "That's where our difficulty lies," said Colonel Slein, "but we had to do it because our army had lost the battle in Moscow, and more than a million Soviet troops were pursuing them...... Those are 70 percent of our German strength and more than 100 divisions, do you know what that means? If we can't hold our ground and stop their attack, we're done, you know? It's all over! ”

Colonel Slain slammed his fist on the table and couldn't help but curse: "These idiots! ”

After walking back and forth around the table a few times, Colonel Slane stopped and said, "Now, tell me, do you still want to take a vacation?" Still thinking about going home? Still thinking about complaining that they will throw us in the USSR? ”

There was silence in the conference room, and after a while someone replied, "No, Colonel, let's go!" ”

"Yes, let's go! Otherwise, we'll just sit back and wait at home! ”

"Let's go give the Soviets a little bit of power!"

……

Qin Chuan knew that this would be the result, the thinking work of the German soldiers was easy to do, and the same was true for those soldiers.
