Shia, where Liu Qi is now, is not shown on the map at all. At first, it was just a small village...

During the previous German-Italian Allied Forces battles, this place did not receive much attention as the rear area of ​​the German-Italian Allied Forces. It was only used as a temporary detention camp for war criminals of the German-Italian Allied Forces after a slight rest on the basis of the original village.

After several British attacks, the defense line of the German-Italian coalition was gradually compressed to the boundary dozens of kilometers west of Lehman. And Shia, a military prison for wartime officers and soldiers who violated discipline, gradually became a German-Italian military prison.

The front line of military defense.

However, because the military camp is close to the Ruwesat Ridge to the east, this 30-kilometer-long mountain range has steep canyons, rocks, and quicksand traps everywhere. Tanks and vehicles cannot pass through at all, and even infantry will be trapped in it.

It is difficult to move here. It has been a famous death zone and no man's land since a long time ago. Even Rommel was very relieved after inspecting this place and there was no security guard here.

In the dark night, the rain was still pouring down. The explosion of artillery shells was still heard in the distance. In the military camp in Shia, more than a thousand German and Italian soldiers wearing uniforms without military ranks stood quietly in the center of the military camp.

In the open space, there are more than 200 soldiers with guns and wearing SS uniforms around. There are also several mg42 machine guns set up around the military camp. The bright bullets in the long bullet chain behind the Mg42 machine gun make people feel frightened and depressed.

.

Liu Qi closed his eyes and felt for a while. There were only about 200 black and gray light spots. Liu Qi knew that these were SS guards, and the more than a thousand prisoners were just a large white bright spot.

Liu Qi walked slowly up to the high platform in the middle. In the huge military camp, the only sound was the sound of Liu Qi's SS boots stepping on the steps. Liu Qi walked to the middle of the high platform. First, he silently scanned the people under the platform with his eyes.

Then he spoke

"Gentlemen, I am your warden Hans-Andry. You have all been found guilty, so you are sent here. There are three rules here. The first is not to blaspheme God. The second rule is

Follow my orders. Please refer to the first two rules for the third rule. Any questions?"

"When can we go to bed, Lieutenant Colonel?" asked one of the Italian prisoners in the front row.

Liu Qi glanced at Cage standing next to him. Cage had changed into a beige camouflage uniform unique to the North African Legion. There were two golden lieutenant rank marks on his collar badge. Cage walked silently to the Italian prisoner who had just spoken.

In front of him, he punched the prisoner directly in the stomach. The Italian prisoner screamed and fell to the ground. Cage silently grabbed the prisoner's clothes and dragged the prisoner like a dead dog.

to the side.

Liu Qi watched everything that happened with satisfaction, and then said, "I only believe in two things, the Bible and discipline. You have both here, give your soul to God and give your body to me."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi paced around the stage. Looking at the prisoners under the stage, the raindrops made a soft pattering sound on the ground. But the more than a thousand prisoners were silent in the rain.

It took about 5 minutes for Liu Qi to speak before he said, "Now there is an opportunity in front of you. You have also heard the sound of British artillery. The British are coming soon. There are two of you.

Choice, one is that I send you 'home'. The second is that you follow me to defeat the British, and then after the war I will issue you a wartime service certificate. Let you really go home. Of course, you will also pay

Give you the allowance you deserve."

After speaking, Liu Qi waved his hand at several mg42 machine gunners. Click, click, the sound of machine gun loading came from which machine guns.

Silence, more than a thousand German and Italian prisoners collectively chose silence, no one spoke. At this time, a weak voice came. "I am willing to participate,"

Liu Qi took a look and saw that it was the guy who had been knocked unconscious by Cage just now. He was really a first-timer, Liu Qi thought. But this guy was smart enough and knew to make the right choice at the first time.

"Very good, who else wants to join me?" Liu Qi said again.

Seeing this, some of the more than a thousand prisoners began to raise their hands one after another. Finally, most of them raised their hands.

"Okay, everyone who wants to stand in front. The rest gather together.

After both groups of people had gathered, Liu Qi saw that there were only more than 60 people who were unwilling to follow him, and there was not a single German soldier among them. Liu Qi was very satisfied with this result. He only felt that the black and gray highlights in his head turned into

There was a large group of people, but there were some white light spots in the middle. Liu Qi knew that those people who were probably just trying to make up the numbers would not really follow him. Once the war started, these guys would probably run away, but he couldn't care about so much.

.

"Okay, I won't say anything else. Doc, Fred, you lead the soldiers who are willing to fight to change clothes, and then go get military supplies, water and weapons. We will set off in two hours." Liu Qi faced

said his SS deputy, Doc Fried.

Then Liu Qi said to Cage, "Cage, please make arrangements for the remaining people."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel" Cage returned calmly, without even asking Liu Qi how to arrange those people.

After Liu Qi arranged all this, he walked straight down the platform and returned to his room. He took out the Egyptian military combat map and started reading it.

"Report."

"Come in." Liu Qi raised his head and looked at the SS officer deputy Doc Fred who walked into the room.

"Lieutenant Colonel, the military uniforms we have here are enough. These people took them off when they came here, and they are still usable, but there is not much food and weapons. The weapons are only enough for our SS and German soldiers.

Yes, the weapons of Italian soldiers have been kept in their original units, so there is no way to distribute them to them."

"Oh, it doesn't matter if they don't have weapons. Just let them bring wooden boards, ropes, fresh water, and lighting equipment and follow us."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel." After hearing Liu Qi's answer, Doc and Fred hurried out without asking any more questions.

As soon as Doc Fred walked out of the door, Cage arrived at the door. He went directly into Liu Qi's house and closed the door.

"Lieutenant Colonel, the person has been taken care of," Cage said.

Liu Qi didn't ask Cage how the people dealt with it, "Yeah." He returned softly. Cage left without saying anything.

…………

…………

A team was stumbling forward slowly in the darkness of the Ruwesat Ridge. It was still raining, and there was no road on the slippery ground, only stones of different shapes along the way. Stones that were severely weathered sometimes crashed when touched.

Shattered. Liu Qi led the team and walked silently. Every 20 people in the team were tied together with a rope. From time to time, someone tripped over stones and fell to the ground because they could not see the road clearly.

Liu Qi felt the changes in the map in his mind as he walked. As the black and gray light spots continued to advance, the dark map in his mind gradually became clearer. However, Liu Qi would not tell others at all.

The low khaki peaks on both sides stood fiercely in the darkness. After walking for about 3 hours, the team could no longer move forward. There was no way forward at all, and there was a mountain ridge blocking the front. This small mountain was about

The nearly 90-degree vertical angle of the more than 70-meter mountain beam makes it impossible to climb, and the protruding part on the top of the mountain is even more difficult to cross.

Even the map in Liu Qi's mind showed the existence of the cliff, and there was not even a road to pass through it. Liu Qi saw that there was nothing he could do. If in a few decades, he could get a few mountaineering masters with equipment, he would be able to do it.

Maybe you can climb to the top of the mountain when it rains and it's daytime. But don't even think about it now.

"Is there anything you can do to climb over the mountain?" Liu Qi asked the people next to him.

"Lieutenant Colonel, I guess we can only take a detour." Doc Fred said holding a compass.

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "Okay, Fred. You take the German soldiers and half of the Italian soldiers to go around to the left. I will take the remaining Italian soldiers and SS soldiers to go to the right. Whoever finds the way

Send a red signal flare to everyone."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel." After saying that, Doc Fred led half of his men and walked forward along the left side of the cliff.

Slowly, part of the black-gray light spots in Liu Qi's mind felt farther and farther away, slowly disappearing into the edge of his mind. Liu Qi estimated that the map in his mind had a circular shape with a radius of 2 kilometers.

Liu Qi led the remaining hundreds of people and slowly moved forward along the right side of the mountain. After walking for more than 2 hours, white light slowly appeared in the sky. The light rain also turned into mist and slowly covered it.

The sight in the distance was blocked. The sky was also gray.

Although he was wearing thick rain-proof cloaks, the long march could not stop the rain from pouring into his neck collar. In a hot and water-scarce place like North Africa, Liu Qi actually felt a little bit cold.

chill.

"Lieutenant colonel, lieutenant colonel. We have found the way." A soldier running back from the front shouted breathlessly.

"We found the road, great. Take me to see it quickly." Liu Qi felt in his mind that several black light spots in front of him stayed at the interface of a yellow gap.

Liu Qi came to the front of the team and saw a gap opened in the middle of the cliff. The gap was only about one meter wide. Since it was not completely bright yet, the inside of the gap was so dark that he could not see clearly.

Wow, we are almost catching up with the sky above Mount Hua, Liu Qi thought to herself.

"Let's go through this road. Cage, lead dozens of people in front to explore the road. Then use ropes to nail both sides of the road." Liu Qi said to Cage.

"Yes." Cage agreed and took twenty or thirty Italian soldiers into the mountain crevice. Liu Qi felt in his mind that these soldiers lined up in a winding line, moving slowly through the mountain crevice.

Moving forward. However, except for the beginning, I could still feel the existence of the mountain gaps. Later, as the mountain gaps became smaller and smaller, I could no longer distinguish the terrain. My mind also turned into darkness, and I was the only one left in the darkness.
Chapter completed!
