    "Where am I?" Adolf Hitler tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids were extremely heavy, as if there was an elephant sitting on them.  He vaguely heard something, it seemed like someone was walking around, and some people were talking, but he couldn't hear clearly.  He tried very hard to move, but a sharp pain suddenly hit him. Then, he woke up and opened his eyes.  What appeared in front of him was the white tent of the field hospital with a red cross printed on it.  Hitler turned his neck with great effort and saw some people lying around. Many parts of their bodies were wrapped with white bandages, and there was blood behind some of the bandages.  There was a smell of disinfectant in the air.  Some people with less serious injuries can already speak. They are talking to other wounded people. There is also a nurse busy in this large tent. However, she seems to be very busy. She is so busy that she has no time to pay attention to most of the wounded.  .  Novel + At this time, several nurses walked in followed by a doctor who looked pale and seemed to have not slept for several days. They walked to the bedside next to Hitler.  "Have you taken the temperature of No. 148?" the doctor asked.  "Dr. Atom, after checking, I still have a fever of about 38.7 degrees." A nurse replied.  "How are the blisters and ulcers on his body?" Dr. Atom added, "Take off the bandages and let me see." So a nurse began to remove the bandages for the wounded man, and as the  The bandages were opened continuously, and a strong smell of blood, putrefaction, and disinfectant poured into the nose of Hitler who was sleeping next to him.  Hitler looked over there hard, wanting to see the condition of the wounded man. However, because he was lying down, and Dr. Atom was right between him and the wounded man, he could see everything.  Unclear.  Dr. Atom frowned: "The body tissue is still rotting, and new blisters have popped up. The situation is not optimistic. You have to check him every hour. Cut the blisters as soon as they are found.  Then clean it with disinfectant. If you find any necrotic tissue, you must remove it immediately. " "But Dr. Atom, we are not doctors, we are just nurses. This is beyond us.  authority and ability," one nurse protested.  "Let's not talk about authority now. There are too many injured, not enough doctors, not enough for major surgeries! Yesterday I performed four operations, and there are already three waiting there today. Heck, we even let them go yesterday.  The chef is here to help with the amputation! Does the doctor have time to do something as simple as removing necrotic tissue? Besides, you haven¡¯t seen how to remove necrotic tissue before, so just do it.¡± ¡°But Dr. Atom.  , we are worried that we are inexperienced and will mess things up," the nurse said in a low voice.  "Don't worry, it won't be bad." Dr. Atom said, "If you don't cut it anyway, he will definitely die. If you cut it off and disinfect it, he will probably die, and it will be the same if it were me. In short,  If you guys can help with the resection, he may still have some chance of survival. Okay, let's take a look at the next patient." So Dr. Atom turned around and looked at Hitler expressionlessly.  It was as if Hitler was not a wounded person, or even a person, but something.  "No. 149 woke up today? How is your body temperature?" Dr. Atom asked.  "Yes, doctor, his fever broke around twelve o'clock last night." A nurse replied.  "Okay, open his bandage and show me." The doctor said.   "Very good, recovery is going well." Dr. Atom nodded and said, "Young man, you are lucky, you probably won't die. Okay, let's look at the next one." At this time, Hitler was already hazy.  I remembered, and remembered the reason why I came here: Hitler was shelled by the British on the battlefield, and then the battlefield was immediately filled with a smell that was like garlic and mustard.  "Yellow cross poison! (the German name for mustard gas)" someone shouted, and then everyone hurriedly held their breath and put on gas masks.  Although everyone in the trenches knew that gas masks alone could not withstand the "Yellow Cross" gas.  But it at least guarantees less poison gas entering the lungs and eyes.  Hitler¡¯s movements were not slow. When he smelled the smell, he had already held his breath and closed his eyes.  During pre-war training, officers had told them that their eyes were very sensitive to most poisonous gases and could easily be injured.  So when training, wear a gas mask.The process must be carried out blindfolded.  It takes a relatively long time for mustard gas to pass through the skin and render the poisoned subject incapacitated.  Even at high concentrations, it takes one and a half to two hours.  However, mustard gas-contaminated areas are highly toxic, and these poisons are enough to kill people within dozens of hours.  So under normal circumstances, the soldiers in this area should be withdrawn immediately, but if you do this, there will be a gap in the front, and the British (hell, they actually have so many full-body chemical protective suits) will easily  Occupy this place and threaten the safety of the entire division.  Therefore, Hitler and the others cannot retreat now. Of course, they can withdraw after the reinforcements wearing full-body chemical protective suits and disinfection and cleaning equipment arrive. However, only God knows when the reinforcements will come.  Hitler had put on his gas mask, and then he opened his eyes.  He immediately got into the gun-proof hole in the trench.  In order to protect against possible poison gas, the soldiers themselves made certain modifications to the anti-gun holes.  They equipped these bomb-proof caves with thick wool felt door curtains. They got in, lowered the door curtains, pressed them on all sides, and poured water on them. This was able to block a lot of poisonous gas to a large extent.  Hitler hid in the cave for almost two hours. During this period, the British shelling never stopped.  It's just that most of the British artillery shells fell behind his position.  Hitler knew that this was the British using artillery shells to isolate all possible reinforcements.  This waste of artillery shells sounded like a fantasy in the past, but in today's war, this is a very common method.  More than two hours later, the British probably felt that the Germans on the position were no longer alive, so they began to send soldiers to attack.  So Hitler and the others were driven out of the bomb shelter again and prepared to fight.  The British all wear very thick full-body chemical protective suits.  This made the British actions very inflexible.  At this time, the German artillery also sounded.  In terms of artillery, especially large-caliber artillery, the German army has a clear advantage.  Because the Germans had more developed railways, relying on the temporarily laid railways, the Germans also put a large number of large-caliber cannons into the battle.  On the battlefield, whether it is the French or the British, 3-inch guns account for the vast majority of their artillery. In comparison, there are many fewer artillery pieces above 6 inches.  This is not only because the Germans have a larger industrial scale, but also due to differences in tactical thinking.  Compared with the German army, which relied more on railways and automobiles, the British and French relied more on mules and horses.  However, mules and horses cannot pull artillery pieces larger than 3 inches.  So Hitler saw balls of fire exploding in the British offensive array.  Based on the size of the fireballs, Hitler could easily tell which ones were from the 100-mm cannon, which ones were from the 150-mm cannon, and which ones were from the larger 203 mm cannon. Sometimes, one or two larger fireballs would explode.  , that is a shell fired from a 280-caliber train gun.  In the East, there has always been a saying that recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of machine guns.  Because it is said that veterans can rely on the whistling sound of artillery shells to judge where the shells will land, so they know how to avoid them. In comparison, machine guns are much more difficult to deal with.  But this argument is not feasible in Europe, because the density of artillery on the European battlefield is really not comparable to that in the East.  At every moment, there are many shells falling on the ground, and there is no place where you can easily escape the shelling.  In fact, even in original history, since World War I, artillery has caused more casualties to the enemy than infantry.  (The Chinese army did not achieve this until Shangganling, and at Songmaoling, the number of Vietnamese soldiers killed by infantry was not even a fraction of the number killed by artillery) Not to mention, in this time and space, because of Scrooge¡¯s  As a result, the scale of artillery is larger than in its original history.  Therefore, the British's first attack did not even break into the German machine gun fire circle, but was covered by artillery.  However, the British quickly organized an attack. Their raised balloons discovered the German artillery firing in the distance, so the British artillery began an artillery battle, and the Germans naturally responded unceremoniously.  More artillery was thrown into the fight, which also allowed British soldiers to rush to the front of the German positions.  By this time, Hitler was already showing some symptoms of poisoning. His eyes had double vision and it was almost impossible to aim. At the same time, he also felt that the skin on his body hurt like being pricked by needles.  But he still reluctantly raised the Mauser 98 rifle and shot at the British randomly.  The British also shot at them, but the bulky chemical protective suits interfered with their shooting, so their shooting was equally unreliable.  But the Germans still have a lot of water-cooled machine guns. Although these machine guns did not perform very well today, they still caused a lot of damage to the British.  Coupled with the impact of barbed wire, although many barbed wires were blown up by British artillery shells.There were some gaps, but it still acted as a delay. As a result, the British were reached in front of the trenches in groups.  Afterwards, Hitler fell into a coma.  However, considering that he now appeared in a field hospital rather than in some legendary place, Hitler felt that the British should not have been able to capture their position in that battle.
