Qin Chuan heard about the platoon leader from the baker. The platoon leader died when he cleared the house, that is, fighting against the Austrian army. He could not find a suitable replacement for the time being, so he was temporarily vacant.

Qin Chuan was not surprised by this, because he knew that the appointment of the German commander, platoon leader, at the platoon level, was different from other countries. Usually, only the platoon leader of the first platoon was served by the officer, lieutenant, and the platoon leader of the other platoons was served by senior non-commissioned officers, such as sergeants.

This is mainly for the sake of clearer rights and responsibilities... When the company commander dies, he will be commanded by the deputy company commander, and when the deputy company commander dies, he will be commanded by the platoon leader in the first platoon leader, so there will be no situation where three platoon leaders with the same military ranks do not know who should take on the heavy responsibility or dissatisfies each other.

The platoon where Qin Chuan is located is the first platoon, so the platoon leader must be a second lieutenant. It is not possible to transfer a second lieutenant when the troops are suffering such great casualties.

While idle, Qin Chuan sat on a stone and took out an oil-soaked cleaning cloth from his backpack to wipe the rifle... When fighting in the desert, the guns could easily seep into several sand that could not be noticed by the naked eye or something else. Qin Chuan was unwilling to die in the battle because he was stuck.

Qin Chuan wiped his gun while turning his eyes to the military camp where the troops used for rest... This was originally a camp of Italian troops in Agdabiya. As mentioned before, Libya is an Italian colony, and Agdabiya is a very important city in Libya. Of course, Italy will maintain its military presence in this city.

It can be seen that Italians are very good at enjoying it because the buildings here are obviously much better than the houses of the people outside. There are two wells in the military camp, and some German officers are bathing with well water... This can be said to be a luxury in the desert.

But of course, a squad leader like Qin Chuan could not enjoy such treatment. He could only endure the sour smell of sweat on his body, and then looked at the almost naked officers cheering while splashing water beside the well.

At this time, a man walked up to him and stopped. Qin Chuan looked up and found that it was the sniper lieutenant who had secretly competed with him in school.

Qin Chuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Sir!"

The second lieutenant looked at the military rank on Qin Chuan's head, nodded slightly, and asked, "Sergeant, is this the first battalion, the second company and the second company?"

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Very good!" said the lieutenant: "Go and gather the troops!"

So Qin Chuan realized something...their new platoon leader is here.

Sure enough, after the team gathered, the lieutenant said, "My name is Kuhn, I was ordered to serve as the platoon leader. What should I do in the future... You understand, disband!"

Qin Chuan and others were stunned when they heard this. No one expected that the new platoon leader's self-introduction would be so brief, which made them almost over before they could react. They were stunned for a moment before responding: "Yes, sir!"

Werner came up and whispered toward Kuhn's back next to Qin Chuan: "Do you know who he is? Everyone calls him the poisonous snake Kuhn, and there will be no good life in the future!"

The poisonous snake Kuhn...the nickname is very similar. Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of Kuhn's cold eyes and his sniper rifle that could be killed at any time.

Soon, Qin Chuan soon learned what Werner meant by "no good life" and at the same time he also gained a further understanding of the "venom" of poisonous snakes.

Most other troops are resting. After all, this is the gap between a big battle, so it is natural to let the soldiers recover some energy and regain their energy.

But Kuhn didn't think so.

"Resting will only increase your chances of being shot dead by the enemy!" Kuhn said: "Because it takes a process to enter the state of combat, many people will never be able to complete this process because they were dead before that! So, if you don't want to die, you can't let yourself slack off unless you are sure you don't have to go to the battlefield anymore!"

Immediately followed by a series of armed marches, construction of fortifications, shooting, etc.

This has been done thousands of times for other German soldiers, but it was the first time for Qin Chuan, so I learned a lot from it.

For example, when marching in an armed manner, Qin Chuan learned how to use backpacks: towels, shirts, etc. are placed on the upper side, food is placed on the lower side, rifle cleaning tools, spare ammunition, etc., each with their fixed positions.

This is obviously correct, because you can find something at any time by reaching out and touching it, which can sometimes save your life on the battlefield, especially spare ammunition.

Shooting is a controversial thing because the troops are in short supply at this time, and shooting will cause the troops to consume ammunition, although these ammunition is only a small part.

For this reason, Bazel had also talked to Kuhn with a conversation, but Kuhn obviously did not compromise, because Qin Chuan and others had been shooting at the gun target under the scorching sun without interruption...

In Kuhn's words, this is the most effective way to maintain combat. Wasting a little ammunition now can give soldiers more hope of survival, which is worth it anyway.

What is impressive is that Kuhn also taught everyone a very practical technique:

It was during the training interval. Kuhn held a rifle and raised his head at Qin Chuan, saying, "Let me see your skills!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then replied: "Okay, sir!"

As he said that, he picked up his rifle and stood up.

All the German soldiers surrounded, and even people from other troops came up to watch... Most of them hoped that Qin Chuan would win because this would exaggerate their anger towards Kuhn.

"Fare all the bullets!" Kuhn said in his signature cold voice: "There are more rings to win!"

"Yes, sir!"

The chest target is more than 300 meters away from the two of them, and Qin Chuan is very confident at this distance.

Kuhn raised his gun and fired it first, and one shot shot out nine rings, while Qin Chuan raised his hand and ten rings, and there was a burst of cheers immediately around him.

Then Kuhn fired several shots in succession, and it was all Jiuhuan... Qin Chuan suspected that Kuhn intended to fight Jiuhuan.

The last shot was the fifth bullet. With the sound of a gunshot, the chest target in front of Qin Chuan had an extra bullet hole in the nine rings, and everyone cheered because Qin Chuan had already won: four ten rings and one nine rings.

However, just when everyone thought the game was over, they saw Kuhn lifting his gun calmly, and then with a "bang", another nine ring...
Chapter completed!
