Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 55 Dunkirk
Instinct told Rosia that this transfer would definitely not be a good thing.The Red Cross's consistent style is to send talents wherever there is danger. Although Rosia does not think that she is a talent, as a doctor, she is still strictly recorded by the superiors.

Rosia had thought about quitting her job at the Red Cross a long time ago. At worst, she would become a civilian, living in the rear and waiting to die.But when I actually put it into practice, I realized that I was completely out of control.Just like those who don't want to be soldiers, as long as you are a young man of the right age, who cares whether you are willing or not? Even if you don't have the noble sentiments to defend your home and country, if you are put on a military uniform, you have to go to the battlefield obediently.

Although the Red Cross is not as strict as the army, it does have a series of mandatory regulations. It is already delusional to withdraw now.This was the reason why Rosia had no choice but to follow the hospital, but the superiors seemed to no longer regard them as ordinary people. They really went where the danger was, and they wished that the soldiers would take them with them to the front line.

When Rosia hurried to the front yard, she found many doctors gathered there, most of them male doctors. Besides her, there was also a female doctor from the psychology department.

Before she could figure out what was going on, a gas mask was stuffed into her hand, and then she was put into the car by Uncle Hammer who was impatient to wait.

The car started quickly. It was still night, and the curfew was not over yet, but it could not be controlled so much. Now there was chaos outside, with noise and fire everywhere, and sporadic French troops fleeing north.

Brad was sitting next to Rosia. Seeing her confused face, he explained in a low voice: "Another German force has arrived in the English Channel near Abbeville and is now advancing northward. It seems that it wants to occupy all the places. seaport." After a pause, he added: "The army's offensive line from Sedan to the west coast has cut off all retreat routes for our army to escape south, and now all the soldiers have returned."

Rosia was shocked, so powerful: "The commander of this army?"

"Guderian!"

The tiger's body was shaken, and Rosia took a deep breath. It was this marshal, no wonder he could do this.Now hundreds of thousands of British and French coalition forces are surrounded in these ports in northern France. If these seaports are destroyed... the consequences will be disastrous.

It is estimated that all the French and the hundreds of thousands of coalition soldiers are in despair now. The German firepower is so fierce. Now the Calais port has been destroyed. I don't know how long the other port ships can be preserved.

It’s just that Rosia knows history and knows that there is something called fate playing tricks on people.No one understands why Hitler did what he did, but it is true that these British and French troops successfully retreated, so she is not worried about the safety of the troops. What she is most worried about now is where the two doctors in the team are going. ,do what!
The doctors in the car swayed with the bumps of the car, and everyone's expressions looked heavy and tragic in the darkness, as if they were calm enough to die generously.Rosia originally wanted to ask, but when she saw the gas mask in her hand, she felt that it was not necessary. It was not a good place, and it would only kill one person anyway.There is no benefit in knowing ahead of time.

The car was driving so fast that the doctors couldn't see the direction, but they could feel that Uncle Hammer, who was driving, had gone crazy. They were not in a car, but in a bomber!
After another sharp turn, half of the car's body suddenly lifted up, leaving a deep tire mark on the ground. With a harsh friction sound, half of the doctors on the car couldn't sit still and fell.Just when someone was about to yell, they discovered that the place they had just passed was blown up by a bomb that suddenly fell from the sky. A large crater was made, and part of the soil that was blown up splashed onto the car.Now the calmness returned to before in the car.

Everyone seems to be on a death drive, not only because of the dangerous road conditions and the crazy people driving, but also because of the bombs falling from the sky from time to time.At first, everyone was on tenterhooks, scared out of their wits every time a bomb dropped. Later, they discovered that the madman driving the car seemed to be very awesome, and he could safely lead them away every time. As time went by, everyone became numb. .

This is a really interesting and exciting secret transfer.

At dawn the next day, Uncle Hammer finally stopped his crazy escape journey. The car slowed down and seemed to be entering another city.Rosia carefully poked her head out and happened to see the sign on the roadside.

The front enters Pas-de-Calais - Dunkirk.

"..."

Rosia didn't know what her expression was like, but it must be ugly, and with the bumpy night, she might be comparable to a female ghost.

She asked Brad next to her with a stiff face: "Are we going to Dunkirk?"

Brad didn't look good either, but he was motion sick and wanted to vomit: "Well, now the German army is surrounded on three sides. The British and French forces are all trapped here. There are many casualties. This is our new working place."

Rosia was about to cry. She finally understood that fate was really going to take her to a European Grand Slam and she had to witness the history of World War II.No wonder the expressions of these doctors are so tragic. At this point, their entire fate is tied to France.Although on the surface he hoped that he would be the one who survived, in his heart he was probably ready to die generously.

The car stopped in Dunkirk. This famous port is not a city, but a small city.But today it has the largest number of people in its history.All you could see were the bustling British and French forces, and some of them were defeated Belgian troops who were also driven over.

From the west coast of France to here, almost all the seaports were occupied by the Germans.Guderian's armored corps occupied Boulogne and Calais in the morning and has now reached the vicinity of Gravelin, less than 10 miles away from Dunkirk. Other right-wing German troops have also reached the English Channel, only a line away from here. separated.

Everyone was shrouded in a cloud of terror that the German army was about to come. The whole Dunkirk was in chaos, with people running and hiding everywhere.But Rosia was not worried at all. After she calmed down after experiencing the initial fear, it could be said that she had entered a very calm state.At the same time, she also felt a little sad for Germany.

Hitler finally used his air force, and then prepared to use continuous bombing to block the escape of Britain and France.Unknown to these people, the feared armored troops were stopped by a wrong order.Today, Hitler took the most wrong step in the entire war and gave these desperate soldiers a way out. These soldiers would later complete another world-famous miracle - the Normandy landing.Then he turned around and gave Germany a painful elbow blow on the Western Front.

It's just that although Hitler's air force did not stop these coalition forces, the bombs that kept falling at Dunkirk still injured many people.

There was no formal hospital in Dunkirk, a usually inconspicuous small town. Two trucks of doctors transferred from Calais could only treat waves of soldiers affected by bombs in temporary houses.Originally, there were only two doctors in Dunkirk, and the professional quality of these two doctors was horribly low. They were not even as good as the ordinary nurses in Calais Hospital, let alone the nurses here.

Thirty doctors were busy from morning to night, regardless of whether it was their field of expertise. They dug out bullets when they saw them, clipped out shrapnel when they saw them, and injected morphine into patients with broken legs and hands, leaving them to the nurses on the side. Anti-inflammatory treatment.

The bombs dropped by the bombers were naturally much more powerful than pistol grenades. Soldiers missing arms and legs could be seen everywhere in Dunkirk, and many civilians were even affected.Rosia saw a soldier on the stretcher wailing at his elbow, clutching his arm tightly and not letting go. In fact, he was in so much pain that he had lost consciousness, and he had no idea that his leg was actually blown off.

Some of the intestines had already been blown out, but Rosia closed her eyes and stuffed them back in without changing her expression.The female doctor in the psychiatry department next to her had gone out and vomited several times, and looked at her like she was looking at Shrek.

In fact, Rosia was also afraid, but when she was afraid to a certain extent, she became numb, and she treated everything she had as pork.It was only when she lay in the bathroom at night and vomited that she realized that she had been holding on hard during the day, but she was holding on so strongly that even she had been deceived.

In just two days, the soldiers in Dunkirk could no longer hold on, and even the civilians could not bear such bombings, giving rise to deep despair.But Churchill, who was far away on the other side of the English Channel, had discovered anomalies, and the German armored forces stopped attacking.So he immediately gave a speech and drew up his famous retreat plan-Operation Dynamo.

In Dunkirk, where artillery fire was raging, the huge square was quiet. All the soldiers gathered below in silence, listening to the voice of the British Prime Minister on the radio——

"You must know that you are Britain's hope. If we lose your expeditionary force, we will have to use the Boy Scouts to defend the motherland."

"Strive for victory at all costs, strive for victory no matter how terrible it is, strive for victory no matter how long and difficult the road is. Without victory, you cannot survive."

Hearing familiar English coming from the radio again, Rosia couldn't help but feel a sore nose as she listened to Churchill's heavy and passionate voice.Hundreds of thousands of British and French troops covered their faces and cried because of his short speech, and the iron-blooded men who fought bloody battles on the battlefield couldn't help but shed tears.The local civilians listened and silently chanted "Amen" and prayed softly.At this moment, no one still remembers the bomb in the sky. Their hearts are all about their hometown on the other side. The mood of wanting to go home filled the entire Dunkirk. Even Rosia couldn't help but think about her hometown far away in Asia, and she was still working hard. of China.

With Churchill's pep talk and the implementation of the Generator Plan, hundreds of thousands of soldiers regained their morale, and the miracle that shocked the world, the Dunkirk evacuation, began.

No matter what Hitler thought, luck favored the British and French forces at this moment.

The large shipyard in Dunkirk harbor has been destroyed, and the 8000-meter-long pier has been turned into ruins.But no one blocked the way of these people anymore. Dunkirk was just a small town, and the residents all made a living by fishing. At this moment, they all contributed their own boats. All kinds of boats drifted all over the coastline. Britain is also constantly sending ships over.

Rosia had never seen such a scene, and even though she had heard of it in modern times, those superficial descriptions could never describe the grand occasion of all the action.All the floating things in Dunkirk went to the coast. Under the fierce bombing by the German army, they still stood on the seaside despite the hardships and dangers, transporting these soldiers one by one.

They roared loudly, and their angry roars even overwhelmed the sound of bombings in the sky. Their busy figures hit the deepest part of people's hearts, making even the most cold-blooded people burst into tears.

The young, old, women and children prayed at home for those outside who were trying to evacuate.On the third day, the doctors could no longer bear it and ran over to help one by one.They can't help them retreat, but they can get the wounded soldiers the quickest treatment.

Rosia couldn't help but scold a group of lunatics in her heart. It was already very unsafe in the rear area, and now they even went to the front line.But not long after, she and the female psychiatrist also rushed to the front line.

Rosia didn't know what she was thinking, but she ran over because her brain was so hot.She was still afraid of death and wanted to hide in a safe place, but she couldn't stop the boiling blood in her chest.I remember a long time ago she said that young students are the most impulsive and easily motivated in the world. Now that I have truly experienced this feeling, I understand that it is just the inexplicable power in my heart.Seeing everyone involved in a great action, people can't help but yearn for their own existence in such a feat.

As for China's eight-year Anti-Japanese War, in addition to the profound patriotism in the heart, it is estimated that a large part was also due to the reckless power bred by this kind of passion.Although you may regret this momentary impulse afterwards, the shock of that moment will still be immortal in your future life.

They are far less heroic than those who fight for their country and die without complaint.

The situation on the coastline was far more cruel than they imagined. A large number of people gathered here, and German bombing also caused greater damage.More than once, Rosia saw soldiers being bombed on the beach and half-buried.Some ships in the sea were hit and torn apart while they were moving. Those who were still alive could not wait for timely rescue and drowned in the sea water.

The beaches of Dunkirk have lost their original color and are covered in a heavy dark red, which is the blood of countless soldiers and civilians and the souls sleeping here.

Although the casualties were huge, the situation was improving. Countless people in other places marched towards Dunkirk without hesitation, risking being torn to pieces by mines and bombs.

The rescue efforts of Rosia and others also played a huge role, but in the last two days, something unexpected happened that completely silenced her blood that had been boiling for several days.

　Today's military training is so exhausting. I really don't have the energy to change it, so I'll start with it. If there are bugs, you can help catch them~
