Redemption of WWII

Chapter 40 Ten to the Red Army

Now people don't care if General Patton is fighting to win the war itself

Blind faith, as Patton said, made this contingent of essentially military prisoners braver than it was. 【】They have nothing, no support, no cover, no logistics.All they have is their belief in Liu Qi, and they can give everything including their lives for this messenger of God.

由于‘马蒂尔达’2型坦克的速度实在是太慢。再加上守卫开罗的部队里面有重炮部队，就是坦克再厚的装甲在也扛不住105毫米和155毫米榴炮的炮。所以刘七命令直接在坦克上安装了zh药，炸毁了这4辆‘马蒂尔达’2型坦克。

As for the more than 1000 British prisoners of "Ah Lyman", Liu Qi had no choice but to leave them there and let them decide whether to stay or not. Major General Matthew of the Fourth Division was also detained here. down,.You must know that among the more than 1000 British troops, there are only two major generals, dozens of officers at the colonel level, and more than 300 officers at the comfort level.If this is sent to Berlin, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole of Germany.In the war against Britain, no German unit could capture so many British officers at one time.Especially after experiencing the air battle in Great Britain, Hitler has also lost confidence in attacking the British Isles.If so many British officials are captured suddenly, maybe Hitler can regain his confidence in capturing Britain.

All the other British troops stayed behind, but Liu Qi took Major Baker with him on the road, because Liu Qi knew that Major Baker came to the front line from Cairo as a temporary substitute for someone else.It is estimated that Baker is very familiar with the situation in Cairo, so he brought Baker with him.Of course, the cantaloupe in Major Baker's crotch had already been removed.Major Baker had no choice but to go to Cairo with Liu Qi.

Not to mention the German troops in the various occupying countries in Europe are no more than 100 divisions.But Hitler, a lunatic, is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.Even with 100 regiments, maybe Hitler would dare to attack Britain.The premise is that Hitler has enough confidence to support.

Liu Qi and his group of hundreds of people sat in a car rescued by the British army from the United States.This time is different from the previous few days. From the camp of the British Army Command, 5 special British Bren armored personnel carriers were seized.This kind of car can seat 12 people in one car, and it is also equipped with a 20-machine cannon. The half-track design makes this kind of car walk on the flat ground in the desert.Ordinary rifles or light machine guns can't penetrate the steel armor of this kind of vehicle at all, but Liu Qi is afraid of this kind of armored vehicle.The reason is simple. The daytime temperature in the desert is as high as 40 degrees. Getting into this well-sealed armored vehicle is like getting into the steam room of a sauna.Liu Qi will not seek abuse by himself.

Rommel once made a documentary to illustrate the hardships of desert warfare.There is a scene in the documentary, that is, a raw egg is knocked on the steel plate of the armored vehicle, and the hot steel plate quickly cooked the egg.Of course, this is impossible. The clever Rommel made this effect by baking the steel plate under the steel plate with an acetylene flame.This is also why Rommel was eager to obtain supplies, especially fuel supplies, and could not be forced out.

For a young man who grew up in an air-conditioned room in the 21st century, this kind of suffering is unbearable.Although the weather in the past few days is still cloudy and rainy from time to time, the air temperature is only more than 20 degrees.Liu Qi still didn't try the treatment of an armored vehicle, but chose an American-made Willys-off-road jeep, and sat comfortably in the co-pilot's seat.

Of course, Cage was the leader of the convoy, and he took 2 armored vehicles from a distance to be the vanguard.As the highest officer of the Italian soldiers now, Cage can be said to be in power.Cage, who had never dared to provoke Italian soldiers, is now even more daunting.And Cage's management of the Italian soldiers also saved Liu Qi a lot of effort.

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world except Antarctica. It is located in northern Africa and has extremely harsh climate conditions. It is one of the most inhospitable places on earth for biological growth.Sahara in Arabic means "Great Desert".Located south of the Atlas Mountains and the Earth Sea, about 35° north latitude, about 14° north latitude, 250 mm isohyet, west from the Atlantic coast to the east to the coast of the Red Sea.It traverses the northern part of the African continent with a length of 5600 kilometers from east to west and a width of about 1600 kilometers from north to south. The total area is about 9 million square kilometers, accounting for about 32% of the total area of ​​Africa.The entire continental United States can fit inside.

Liu Qi was sitting in the jeep while looking at the vast scenery of the Sahara Desert, while humming a ditty about sending the Red Army away.Not to mention the comfort of Tama.Behind him sat the doctor and Major Baker. After a few days of careful company with the doctor, Major Baker is now almost a doctor. Every time he speaks, he inadvertently brings out a few medical terminology.The psychological stress of seeing a doctor before has been greatly improved.

When Liu Qi finished humming to send off the Red Army, Major Baker couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Xiao, the tune you played just now is really nice. Although the rhythm is simple, it is catchy. The tune rippling with the deep feeling of seeing off relatives." Affection. I can’t help but be deeply moved, may I ask if this piece of music was written by the composer there. I have studied music for more than 20 years and have never heard it.”

Liu Qiyi couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and thought that it would be strange if you had heard it before.This is the national tune that the villagers hummed when the 1935th Army of the National Red Army left the base area for the Long March in 26 when they saw off the Red Army.Not to mention you, most of the former Red Army cadres and soldiers fighting in the country will not know this song.This song was written by a musician who visited the old areas three times after the liberation of the People's Republic of China.But it also proves from this aspect that only the nation is the most beautiful.

However, Liu Qi also admired Major Baker's musical imagination. A simple melody could tell the reluctance to part with his loved ones.Thinking of this, Liu Qi couldn't help but think of his parents in his hometown decades later, and felt a little sad, yes, when will he be able to go home.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi couldn't help humming "Ten Sending the Red Army Back" again, and Major Baker also started to sing along with Liu Qi's melody this time.At the end, even the doctor whistled to the accompaniment.Several people were completely intoxicated by this simple and beautiful music.

They didn't stop this very simple concert until they had a break for dinner on the way.Liu Qi said to Baker, "This piece of music is the accompaniment of a folk song from a distant country. It has not been spread in the world yet. But with your musical talent, I think it is not difficult to memorize it. After the war, you can compose your own music and lyrics. But I have one requirement, that is, the name must be called 'Ten Send Red Army'."

"Ten to the Red Army, the name is very strange. Why do you want to send out the Red Army in ten times?" Major Baker asked strangely.

"Haha, the Red Army is not an object, but an army. Sending off the Red Army ten times means that the people who send off the Red Army have deep feelings for this army, are reluctant to part with it, and do not want to be separated from this army." Liu Seven explained.

"Why are the people unwilling to separate from this army? Don't they know that the army is all about fighting?" Baker asked still puzzled.

"It's like this. The Red Army is an army that serves the people and has helped the local residents do a lot of good things. That's why the residents love them so much." Liu Qi added.

"Okay, McGarth." Major Baker said something that everyone on Earth knows.

"Doesn't this army usually train? What else does it mean to serve the people?" Major Baker asked Liu Qi again like a bewildered young man.

For a while, Liu Qi was stunned, and said in an impatient tone, "Of course this team trains, and it only helps the soldiers and civilians solve difficulties during the rest of the training. Serving the people is to solve the difficulties and problems encountered by all the people in their daily life." .”

"Oh, so this army can leave the army after training, why don't they go to bars or movie theaters. Why should they meddle in other people's affairs. And why do local residents accept help from soldiers instead of Solve the problem by yourself. Why don't they go to the police. And these people who serve the people don't get paid." Major Baker's curiosity really stopped.

Faced with these questions, Liu Qi's head is a bit big, but as a school, he can't be questioned in front of his subordinates.I had to answer patiently, "It's not that this army doesn't want to go to bars or cinemas after training, but the country where this army is located is very poor and there are no such consumption places. Many young people from the local residents serve in this army. The labor force is not very sufficient, so they accept the help of the military. In addition, the local police agency is very bureaucratic and cannot actually help local residents solve problems. As for the salaries of these people who serve the people, I think there are still some. "

Major Baker seemed to understand this explanation a little bit.He opened his mouth and said, "Oh, so that's the case. It turns out that there are many young local residents serving in this army. I said why this song is so sentimental like the parting of relatives. But the problem of police bureaucracy is not limited to one country. The police in our British Empire are like this. I can understand this. But what I don’t understand is why you people who serve the people are paid, so what he does is what he should do. Well, it's like a service staff in a hotel, you provide me with good service, and I'll tip you what you deserve, isn't that the case."

This time, Liu Qi really knows what is meant by 'going against a small truth is a wrong choice, but going against a big truth is another truth'.
