Chapter 42 Ambush

  The narrative of Lieutenant Walker shocked everyone present, including Liu Qi. Liu Qi had read this story in elementary school textbooks, but at that time no one understood the true meaning, and it was just treated as a part of the knowledge that needed to be learned.

  But now this story has become a real-life German version. What's even more unexpected is that the one who performed surgery on the military god was actually Lieutenant Walker's father. And this matter was also used by Old Walker to educate his son, allowing his son to establish confidence in becoming a military god from a young age.

  "That's right, Lieutenant Walker. Why are you joining the SS again? As far as I know, the opportunities in the regular army units of the National Defense Forces should be greater." Liu Qi asked.

  "I actually started out by applying to a military academy, but there were just too many people applying - basically only one person was accepted out of 50. So I didn't get in. Later on, I went to enlist and wanted to be a soldier, but the army officer who interviewed me said I wasn't suited to being a soldier," replied Lieutenant Walker.

  "Oh, is that why." Liu Qi asked with a bit of puzzlement.

  "They said I didn't have the discipline and rules that a soldier should have, there were too many active factors in me. They also said that if someone like me went to the battlefield, it would either kill myself or others. In short, they just didn't want me." Lieutenant Stri, Walker said.

  "How did you join the SS and become an officer?" Liu Qi asked again.

  "Hehe, after being rejected by the army back then, I was also very disheartened. Didn't want to join the army again, but that military god's dream in my heart kept reminding me, making me persist. One time, I saw a recruitment notice from the Waffen-SS, so I went to sign up with a tryout mindset. When I expressed my dreams and loyalty to the Führer, the officer approved my enlistment request on the spot. So I became an honorable member of the Waffen-SS, and later due to my outstanding performance, I was promoted to officer rank."

  "How did you end up in North Africa then?" Liu Qi asked.

  "It was like this, our Waffen-SS had auxiliary troops in every army. But Field Marshal Rommel refused our request to participate in the battle and sent most of them back home, leaving only a few officers to manage that military prison, and I stayed behind like that." Stri, Lieutenant Walker returned.

  Liu Qi only then came to understand. Why in his own time and space, there was no SS participating in the African campaign. This thing is probably something that only Rommel can do. Relying on Hitler's trust, he actually didn't even put Hitler's guard troops by his side.

  Trust begets trust, but discipline must still be maintained. Rommel, that old fox, only thought of winning victories for himself and did not want to be subject to the Fuehrer's command. How can this be? Therefore, the Fuehrer was very angry, with severe consequences.

  But the leader cannot afford to be openly unhappy with this typical example that he himself has set up, or it will make many people laugh.

  Several heads of state secretly awakened Rommel, letting Rommel take the SS troops to Africa to participate in the battle. However, Rommel was going smoothly at that time and didn't care about this matter. Hitler now had a little resentment towards Rommel, using the excuse of the need for full material supply on the Eastern Front and the large loss of Mediterranean transportation, cut off Rommel's supply line.

  But one can't help but admire Rommel's tactics, who in the absence of supplies, defeated the British all the way to Egypt and captured Tobruk. The Führer was also a formidable figure, on the day Tobruk fell, he directly awarded Rommel the title of Field Marshal, but not a single drop of gasoline or soldier was given to him.

  Hitler's move was very vicious. On the day Rommel became a field marshal, Rommel successfully became a thorn in the eyes of German army generals. Think about it, you Rommel, in just three short years, rose from a colonel to a field marshal. You Rommel had commanded at most tens of thousands of troops in combat operations, and your greatest achievement was occupying a port city. Other German generals were commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and capturing countless cities, yet they were only lieutenant generals or full generals. What made you qualified to become a field marshal?

  As the British army in Egypt grew stronger, Rommel finally couldn't hold on any longer. He hastily flew back to Berlin on the pretext of seeking medical treatment and requested help. This time, Rommel was subjected to a lot of blame. Neither the high-ranking officers of the General Staff nor those of the Supreme Command took him seriously, or they kept their distance from him. The application for supplies was put on hold indefinitely.

  Rommel had to go see Hitler, Hitler saw him and didn't let Rommel speak, directly talked about the future of the empire for an hour. Then he drove Rommel out of the Chancellery. This time Rommel knew thoroughly the importance of the SS troops, why each army group must have such a force.

  In fact, this is also Hitler's way of warning Rommel, meaning that Rommel should understand the consequences of not listening. Of course, whether or not to give you troops and supplies still depends on your own actions.

  After resting for an hour, Liu Qi got back on the jeep and the convoy continued to move forward. This time, however, Liu Qi did not hum that song "Ten Red Army" again, but instead honestly covered his face with his hat and closed his eyes to rest.

  The convoy continued to drive east in the desert. At that time, Egypt had no highways at all, and there were sand dunes and low earth mounds everywhere. On the road, you could often see some unique three-awn grass and eyebrow grass here. Sometimes, a sand mouse would pop out of the sand pile.

  Liu Qi seemed to be sleeping, but in fact he was studying the function of the radar in his brain. Since the last time he commanded the artillery's precise shooting at 'Ahleman', Liu Qi had been constantly researching in his mind whether he could make the troops on the map in his mind receive his commands directly and march. However, Liu Qi found that this simply didn't work, and not a single person would follow his consciousness. On this point, Liu Qi was also puzzled and couldn't understand.

  The first two times the commanders were affected by Liu Qi's radar, both occurred during combat. Liu Qi analyzed that it might be related to the high concentration of troops' morale during combat. At this time, they were all sitting in vehicles, no fighting was happening, and the morale of the troops was estimated to be very relaxed, so it was difficult to command them.

  The sky had slowly darkened, and Liu Qi felt that Kechi had stopped the armored vehicle in front. Then he felt Kechi turn the car around and speed quickly towards the main force. This can't be good, something must have happened.

  "Something's up, stop the car..." Liu Qi shouted loudly.

  The people in the jeep were startled by Liu Qi's loud shout, and the driving officer hastily stopped the jeep. The convoy behind also stepped on the brakes and followed suit. The officers on the truck hurriedly jumped off the vehicle and came to the front of Liu Qi's car to ask about the situation.

  "Kai Qi found that something was wrong ahead and estimated that they had encountered the enemy. Everyone got off the bus and prepared for battle, and set up the 40mm cannon for me," said Liu Qi.

  The officers led the soldiers to ambush on the sand dunes on both sides of the road, with machine guns and 40 cannons already set up. The cars were also driven behind several sand dunes in the rear. Within a few minutes, a perfect ambush formation appeared. Now Liu Qi was not afraid of anything, with the precise shooting of the 40 cannon to the centimeter level. Even if dozens of tanks came, Liu Qi had confidence that he could turn them all into torches and light up his way in the desert.

  Just then, a burst of machine gun fire came from the front. Liu Qi felt in his mental radar that it was the armored vehicle driven by Kaito shooting out bullets. However, the direction of the shooting was surprisingly towards their own team's direction, although the several kilometers distance had already made the bullets lose their kinetic energy, turning into sparkling fireflies in the night.

  Liu Qi was puzzled, what is Keji doing? Even if we need to inform our troops, there's no need to fire a shot. Won't this alert the enemy as well? How are we supposed to launch a surprise attack now?

  Just as he was blaming Kaito for being a bit reckless in his mind, the doctor next to him spoke up "Colonel, no, did you hear any sound?"

  "Sounds, yeah, I heard the sound of machine guns." Liu Qi said.

  "It's not the sound of machine guns, it's another kind of sound, a very special one, like someone is crying," said the doctor.

  "Who's crying? This desert is desolate and uninhabited, where did this person come from to cry?" Liu Qi said.

  "The voice is getting louder and louder, it sounds like crying, but also like howling. Don't touch the wolf pack." The doctor said again.

  "Haha, it's just a wolf encounter. Keqi shouldn't be so scared either. The steel plate of his armored vehicle can't be bitten by the wolf pack." Liu Qi said.

  "I also heard the sound, but what I heard was like the sound of a pipe organ used by a church choir. The sound of the pipe organ was loud and majestic, with beautiful and solemn tones. It's the best representation of praising God." Major Becker, as a professional musician, naturally has a good understanding of music.

  The sound of the pipe organ... Liu Qi was a bit puzzled, holding the military binoculars and looking into the distance, but the overcast clouds blocked any glowing objects in the sky, so he still couldn't see anything ahead. He could only feel on his mental radar that Casey's two armored vehicles were rushing towards him like madmen. Just then, one of the armored vehicles behind Casey suddenly lost its target in Liu Qi's mind.

  Without thinking much, Liu Qi directly focused all his attention on Kaito's armored vehicle. As a result, the situation of the armored vehicle was magnified many times and appeared clearly in Liu Qi's mind. The entire situation of the armored vehicle was clear and distinct.

  At a glance, Liu Qi was also stunned. It's not that Liu Qi was scared silly by the British army, but there were no tanks behind Kaito's car, no infantry, and no shadow of a British soldier. But behind him was something terrifying.
