Chapter 141: Rewards

But these are not what Qin Chuan's infantry should worry about...... It was a contest between ground air defense forces and British fighters.

When the German soldiers were bored, they watched in the trenches and bet.

"One!"

"Two!"

……

The soldiers bet on cigarettes and bets that several cars loaded with supplies would be blown up as they drove out of the village...... The British's "Mosquito" bombers and fighters stayed in the air for a long time. However, because these planes are wooden and can easily disintegrate under anti-aircraft fire, they can only fly outside the village of Sidioma, or rather, outside the range of anti-aircraft fire, and only wait for the car to drive out of this range before picking up some cheapness.

"Sergeant, aren't you going to charge?" Alfredo held a lit cigarette in his mouth and asked Qin Chuan, who was wiping the gun: "If there is no smoke, I can borrow you some!" ”

Alfredo was the dealer, and he was very lucky, having eaten all five rounds, and there was a lot of cigarettes in front of him.

"No!" Qin Chuan replied.

He had little interest in that, and so did cigarettes.

The cigarette is important on the battlefield because it's one of the few things that relieves stress, and the stress of the battlefield can crush almost everyone.

Because of this, cigarettes tend to become "hard currency" among soldiers, that is, almost everything can be measured in cigarettes.

However, Qin Chuan knew that as a sniper, he couldn't rely too much on cigarettes, otherwise, what would he do if he was a smoker lurking on the battlefield waiting for his target? Or what should I do if I smoke too much and want to cough?

These may seem like small things, but they can kill you at a critical moment.

At this moment, a car stopped in front of the soldiers with a "whoosh", and a car soldier with a little wound on his head poked his head out and asked, "Hey, they told me you are from the 2nd Infantry Company?" ”

"That's right!" Alfredo asked, "Do you want to gamble too?" ”

"Bet on what?" The driver was a little confused.

"Bet on how many cars will be blown up in ten minutes!" Alfredo shook his head at the smoking cars outside the village.

The driver couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then scolded: "You bastards! ”

The soldiers laughed "coaxingly".

As mentioned before, the battlefield is stressful, and soldiers need to have some fun to relieve the pressure.

"Tell me!" Werner shouted at the driver: "If you're not here to try your luck, then what are you here for?" ”

The driver got out of the car, angrily pulled the canvas in the back compartment, and then said to the two hundred or so chickens in the cage: "This is also the question I want to ask, corporal, my task is to hand over these chickens to you...... I don't understand why this task is there! ”

The German soldiers were also baffled, Qin Chuan suddenly remembered something, so he said: "That's a reward for us!" ”

"What?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's General Stryker's reward for us!" Qin Chuan said: "Because we have found supplies in Sidi Oma!" ”

"Sergeant!" Still in disbelief, Werner pointed to the hill-like chicken coop in the back compartment and said, "You mean...... These chickens are all for us? ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "One per person!" ”

With a "coax", the soldiers became excited in an instant, and they quickly divided a cart of chickens one by one.

"It's yours, Sergeant!" Werner helped Qin Chuan take one and said, "You are the most deserving of this reward!" ”

"Incredible!" The driver looked at this scene and shook his head angrily and said, "Do you know how much I risked for this car full of smelly things? I experienced two strafing and one bombing by the British, and my co-pilot even lost his life as a result, and the result of this was to divide them into your food......"

At this time, a voice came from behind: "If you know what they did, know it's totally worth it!" ”

The soldiers looked back and saw that it was General Stryker, who had changed into a brand new military uniform, presumably bathed, and looked in good spirits, followed by two guards holding MP40s.

"General!"

"General!"

……

The soldiers came forward to salute.

General Stryk nodded, walked up to the driver and said, "Corporal, I regret the sacrifice of your comrades-in-arms, but you can't think that what you did is meaningless because of this!" You know, this unit in front of you has repeatedly decided the victory or defeat of our army, so to speak...... Even the most expensive reward isn't too much, but all I can give them is a chicken! ”

"I'm sorry, General!" The driver hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "I didn't know what you meant!" ”

General Stryk nodded, then turned to the soldiers and said, "Soldiers, thank you for everything, you deserve it, enjoy it!" ”

"Yes, General!" The soldiers replied in unison.

As soon as General Stryk turned to leave, the soldiers let out a cheer.

But after the cheers, they were all stunned by the live chickens in their hands, and the soldiers didn't know how to get them, so leave them to the cooking class...... There are nearly 200 people in a company, and one for each person is 200 chickens, and the cooking class is too busy.

"The general should take care of it!" Werner said.

"You should be glad, Werner!" Kuhn objected: "At least we have, and we are alive!" ”

"But what can we do with it?" Yakop carried the chicken coop and said, "Is it also like the general, let it lay an egg a day?" ”

"God!" The baker looked at Yakop with some incredulity: "You're just a rooster, you want it to lay eggs for you?" ”

The soldiers burst into laughter.

Then someone carried the chicken coop and asked, "Am I just a mother?" ”

Some German soldiers did not have much common sense of life, especially since most of them were born after the First World War, and they were exposed to factories, machines, and parts, and most of the chickens they saw were cooked on plates.

Of course, this is only part of the story.

"Don't think about it!" Bazel walked to the front of the group with the chickens he had received, and said, "Even if your chickens can lay eggs, if you can feed them...... But do you carry it to battle? ”

Bazel's question is a real problem, in fact, it is not easy to feed a chicken on the battlefield, because it needs to be provided with water and food, which are often scarce resources for troops in the desert.

"So!" Bazel finally concluded: "You don't have to think about it, no matter what you do, turn this thing into a corpse as soon as possible, and put it in your stomach!" ”

"Corpse" ......

Qin Chuan saw that some of the recruits had already revealed painful eyes.
