Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 29: Wake up
Xu Jun slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was Hans's joyful face.
"Wake up, he woke up, praise God. My marshal. You finally woke up."
Mueller’s loud cheers echoed in this small medical vehicle, and then other officers began to rush to congratulate and cheer. The noise in his ears made Xu Jun feel dizzy, and the sharp pain from his shoulder made Xu Jun frown.
Seeing Xu Jun's expression of pain, the military doctor Colonel Surent quickly yelled at the officers: "Can you be quiet, the marshal has just woke up and needs a quiet rest, can you please be quiet."
Hearing what the military doctor said, the officers hurriedly closed their mouths, but their eyes still showed great joy and excitement. Everyone seemed to have just won a magnificent battle. So happy.
"Okay, now everyone sees that the marshal is okay, don't worry. You go out first, and let the marshal have a good rest. Just have us generals with the marshal." Weirle smiled. An order was given to the officers. Although the officers were a little unhappy, they still obeyed the orders of the chief of staff. They respectfully paid a military salute to Xu Jun who was lying on the bed, and then left the carriage of the medical vehicle in an orderly manner.
"Marshal! You finally woke up, do you know how anxious we saw you when you were shot and fell? We felt like the end of the world had arrived." Hans said excitedly to Xu Jun .
"Yes, it's great to see that you are fine. You scared us all this time." Mueller was already crying happily.
"You two look too ugly, right? The marshal is out of danger and he can recover as long as he rests for a while. However, whether there are any sequelae of the injury depends on the recovery of the wound, at least here. For a while, your Excellency the Marshal still try not to do anything casually, and leave everything to them to take care of." Weierle said to Xu Jun while standing beside Colonel Surent with a smile.
Xu Jun's mind is now a pot of porridge, and he didn't listen to a word of the subordinates. He felt that his head was swelling, especially the pain in his shoulders that was like burning. He tried hard to recall what happened before, and he wanted to figure out what happened to him.
"Give me a glass of water, Hans." Xu Jun said to Hans with difficulty.
"Ah, water. Yes, my marshal, I'll get it for you right away." After hearing Xu Jun's words, Hans quickly jumped up and rushed towards the drinking fountain in the corner of the carriage.
"Müller." Xu Jun turned his head slowly to look at Mueller and said: "What happened, I remember we were in a meeting, and then I seemed to be pushed by something, and then I will remember everything. Unclear."
"My marshal, you were hit by a bullet."
Müller quickly reported the situation to Xu Jun carefully. When Xu Jun fell on the conference table without warning, everyone was stunned. It was only when Hans discovered the bullet hole in the carriage that everyone understood that the marshal had been hit. Everyone was thrown into confusion by this sudden situation. No one thought to check the Marshal’s injuries. Everyone thought Xu Jun was finished. At the time, everyone just wanted to rush out and fight the attackers. Revenge their marshal.
But it’s no wonder the officers, because Xu Jun’s appearance after being shot was too ugly. First he fell straight on the conference table like a piece of wood, and then his unruly hands were on the table. I scratched a few at the conference table, and after a few kicks, there was no more movement. How do I look at the final movement like a dying struggle in the legend. Coupled with the anti-tank gun that Hans shouted, anyone would think that the marshal had been gloriously killed.
Hans reacted first. He stepped forward and checked Xu Jun's injuries carefully. Only then did he discover that the bullet had only shot through Xu Jun's shoulder, and the marshal was only temporarily unconscious and had not died.
Hans' conclusion made the officers breathe a sigh of relief. They hurriedly wrapped Xu Jun briefly, and then the officers jumped out of the command vehicle in batches according to their ranks and positions. Under the cover of the precise marksmanship of the middle and high-ranking officers, the four generals alternately acted as meat shields and transferred Xu Jun from the command vehicle to the medical vehicle. Coupled with Colonel Surent's superb medical skills and proficient surgical skills, this saved him.
"Well." After listening to Mueller's account, Xu Jun finally understood what had happened to him. The thought of these officers willing to brave the bullets and bullets in order to cover him made Xu Jun feel a warm current in his heart. Surging up.
"I don’t know what to say. I can’t express my gratitude for what you have done for me in words. Everyone is okay, is anyone else injured? I really don’t want you to What hurt me?" Xu Jun said while looking at Muller.
"Please don’t say that, my marshal. It’s worth giving our lives for you, because you are our German hope. Don’t worry, no one is hurt to save you. Those who are hurt are Those who were hit in the fight against those attackers, as long as you are safe, we are all willing to die even if we are all killed." Weierle said with a smile.
"Marshal, water." Hans lifted Xu Jun up a little, then put the water glass to Xu Jun's mouth. "Don’t say anything. We think you should be very clear. For our great motherland and for you, we can give everything we have. So needless to say such words of gratitude, you use it to revive our motherland. It is enough to thank us. My marshal."
After drinking a few sips of water, Xu Jun nodded to indicate that it was enough, and Hans gently put the water glass on the shelf aside.
"Let me sit up and feel uncomfortable lying down." Xu Jun said to Hans with a wry smile. Hans and Muller quickly lifted Xu Jun up against the head of the bed and sat up.
"Marshal, how are you feeling now?" Colonel Surent asked with a smile.
"It's okay, the wound hurts badly, and the head is a bit swollen."
"Oh, that’s a normal phenomenon. This is the reaction after anesthesia. I will give you some painkillers in a while, which should relieve your pain. But having said that, your body is really very Strong, to be honest, I have never seen a healthy and strong body like yours. Your vitality is also tough and surprised me. Less than half an hour after the operation, you have signs of awakening. This is the first time I have encountered this situation in more than ten years of medical career. And you can sit up and talk to us sanely after the operation. This can only be explained by a miracle. I don’t know. How can I express my surprise now? It seems that this can only be said to be a miracle of God. It seems that God is really taking care of our Germany. He shows his divine power to his messenger. To prove his care for us and praise the great Lord.” As he spoke, Surent began to praise God with a pious expression. In his eyes, Xu Jun, who is a messenger of God, has also become a great existence. , His eyes exuded the light of fanatical worship.
"Well, my doctor, if you want to be a chaplain part-time, I can arrange it for you. You haven't introduced his injury to the marshal yet." Mueller interrupted the doctor mercilessly. Hymn.
"Ah, oh, really, I'm very sorry, my marshal, let me tell you briefly about your current situation." Surent took a bullet out of his pocket and handed it to Xu Jun .
"This is the warhead that wounded you. It was discovered by General Hans from the command vehicle. You can see that after penetrating a 15mm steel armor plate and then shooting through your body There is no change in this bullet, that’s why, your injury is actually much lighter than it looks on the outside. The bullet only pierced a hole as big as two ends in your shoulder, and the bullet was not in your head. The body deforms and does not roll, so your wound is simply surprising, and luckily, it avoids your bones, blood vessels and nerves, and only passes through the normal muscle layer, except for tearing a few muscles. It didn’t cause you any more damage, so it’s a miracle. If you cultivate well in the next period of time, I can guarantee that you will recover the same as before the injury, except that one may be left behind. The scars will not have any influence on your future actions."
Hearing Surrent’s words, Xu Jun felt that he might really be favored by God. He was hit by an anti-tank gun bullet and suffered only this kind of injury, which is incredible. But when he looked at the bullet carefully, he understood why.
"This is the WZ35 bullet." Xu Jun looked at the bullet in his hand and said.
"Yes, my marshal. But how did you see it." Mueller replied in surprise from the side.
"It’s very simple, like this small-caliber anti-tank gun, so far, only the Polish WZ35 model. It uses this 7.92 mm tungsten carbide warhead, everyone should be very clear , That’s why it didn’t deform after it shot through the armor plate of my command vehicle, but if the armor of my command vehicle was thicker, the result would not be like this. It might break apart, think about me I'm lucky. What's more fortunate is that the other party used this weapon to hit me. If they use a T-type anti-tank gun, I can't sit here and talk to you." Xu Jun answered with a smile.
"Yeah, the T-shaped caliber is 13mm. After hitting it, it is not as simple as a small bullet hole." Mueller nodded in agreement.
"But this reminds me of one thing." Xu Jun looked down at the bullet and frowned.
"What's the matter, my marshal." Hans asked curiously. Xu Jun did not answer Hans’s question. He raised his head and said to Surrent, "Colonel Surrent, can you give me an injection for pain relief, my wound hurts so much."
"Yes, my marshal, please bear with me a little longer, I'll be ready to inject you immediately." Surent quickly began to prepare his injection tools.
Xu Jun turned his head to look at Hans and Mueller and said: "I remembered that the anti-tank weapons used by the Army are not very satisfying."
At this time, Surent came over with a syringe. He respectfully said to Xu Jun, "My marshal, can I get the injection now?" Xu Jun nodded slightly, and then turned his head to face him. The subordinates said: “You all know that we don’t actually have an anti-tank weapon suitable for ordinary infantry. Take the anti-tank gun, although the current products may not penetrate the main armor of active tanks. However, within a certain distance, the penetration power to the weak parts of the tank still exists, and those positions are often the key parts of the tank, such as the rear armor and engine armor of the tank. A small anti-tank bullet can be used. It causes serious damage to these parts of the tank. It is also sufficient to deal with the light armored vehicles used by our enemies, so I think the anti-tank gun will never be out of date. It will be a very important way for infantry to deal with enemy armored targets. An important weapon."
"My marshal, I have already injected you with an analgesic injection. I believe the strength of the medicine will be manifested in a while. I think you should stop talking and take a good rest. You have lost a lot of blood. You should be quiet. Wait until you recover a little longer." Surent interrupted with an empty syringe.
"I know, thank you my doctor. I will give you a few more words and rest." Xu Jun turned his head and smiled and nodded to Su Lun.
Then he continued to talk to Hans and they said: "Our German T-type anti-tank gun is indeed very good, but it is still not suitable for ordinary infantry. It is too heavy, 18 kilograms, and it takes two to operate it. Soldiers cooperate closely. It is a joke to let our soldiers take this kind of thing on the battlefield to fight with the enemy. Can’t we make a Maraucek like Poland? It only has nine kilograms and has a recoil better than T The model is lighter by at least half. An ordinary soldier does not need much training to use it. The structure is also very simple. It does not need to be processed as precisely as the T model to obtain sufficient accuracy. It can be mass-produced, if we are If it is modified on the basis of it, a more ideal infantry anti-tank weapon will definitely be developed on the basis of it. I think our soldiers will get the same guarantee of life. At least they don’t need to be supported by anti-tank artillery. Under the circumstances, cluster grenades are used to deal with the enemy’s light armored vehicles, especially those paratroopers and mountain infantry. They most need an anti-armor weapon that is easy to carry. I want to wait until this matter is over, we must follow up Talk to the heads of military research and development departments."
Xu Jun realized that he had a lot of ideas suddenly now. He especially wanted to tell all these ideas to his men, but maybe Surent’s painkillers worked or it was really because of excessive blood loss. Because of the relationship, Xu Jun felt waves of tiredness sweeping over like waves. The wound on his shoulder did not hurt much, but his eyelids began to heavier.
"We understand what you mean, and we agree with you very much, but my marshal, I think you should take a good rest now. Even if you have this idea, you need a healthy body to complete it. Don't worry, these ideas of yours will be realized." Hans said with a smile, seeing the tiredness that Xu Jun showed. Then he and Mueller lay flat on Xu Jun slowly.
"Well, Hans, you also agree with me, great, how much our soldiers need weapons suitable for them now..." Xu Jun murmured a few words and then entered. Shen Shen's dreamland.
Leaving Colonel Surrent to look after him, Hans and the others quietly left the medical vehicle. After getting out of the car, Mueller couldn't help letting out a long breath.
"Marshal is really a great leader." Mueller exclaimed.
"Yes, in this case, I still want to equip the soldiers on the front with suitable weapons. Fighting for this commander is the glory that a soldier desires most." Hans also sighed.
"But I think the marshal makes me feel more unfathomable. I can think of the development of weapons from my injury. I really admire the five bodies. It seems that I don't want to keep up with his thinking in my life. He always He can do miracles in front of us every time. I sometimes really believe that he is indeed the apostle sent by God to save us." Weirle sighed, shaking his head.
"Of course, my Chief of Staff, but now it makes sense to think about the Marshal’s idea. If we deploy fifty such lightweight anti-tank guns in a company, I will concentrate the 20mm guns for defense. In important locations, this will increase the strength of the enemy by 50 or 60%." Mueller said excitedly.
"Yes, the possibility of your firepower being dropped by a pot has increased by 50% or 60%, my general, don’t you hear the marshal say that this weapon is for infantry who may not be protected by anti-tank guns Prepared." Hans said with a smile.
"I said why you are discussing these things again now. If you want to talk, you have to wait until the marshal solves the current problem. We have been here for a whole day now, and time is more precious to us. , What you should consider now is how we reach our destination within the scheduled time. My first lieutenant, what do you think." Weirle asked Hans lightly.
"Well. Looking at the current situation, let’s sleep here today. The marshal’s body may not be able to withstand the bumps on the road. It’s not safe to march at night. I think we’d better stay here for one night. Let’s take a look at the marshal’s physical condition tomorrow morning. If the marshal’s injury is stable, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and then don’t delay on the road. We will speed up the march and continue marching. I think we can reach the goal according to our original plan. Land. The difference is up to half a day."
"Have you seen the map?"
"I've seen ~IndoMTL.com~The road behind is pretty good, we should be able to catch up."
"I hope so, we can't make our colleagues wait in a hurry. You must know that now that person has decided to go to the French front to personally supervise the battle. Our colleagues have sent more than a dozen urgently." Weierle said worriedly.
"Ah, that man went to the front line. When will I get the news?" Hans looked at Weirle in surprise.
"Just half an hour ago, when Mueller was fighting with a Polish girl."
"Then why don't you report this to the marshal?"
"Now the report is useful in addition to worrying him. According to our current plan implementation, it doesn’t matter whether that person goes to the front line or not, and it’s only good for us to run out of that fortress. I I think you won't let him run back so easily." Weierle said with a smile.
"That's true, you're right, Chief of Staff." Mueller nodded in agreement.
"Well, at this point, I am a little interested in the Polish girl you caught. Can you take me to see her? I want to interrogate her." Weirler smiled to Mueller Speaking of.
"Does the chief of staff want anything from her? Then let's go now, and I also want to get a taste of the chief of staff's interrogation methods." Mueller replied with a smile.
Then the three German brigadier generals talked and laughed and walked towards the heavy truck holding the prisoners of war.
