"Brother, brother, the old queen mother has issued a conscription order! Our Cossacks can finally have our own troops!" Ivan led the other two younger brothers into Ostrov's room, and they saw that their eldest brother was packing his bags and seemed to be preparing for a long journey.

Ostrov put his backpack on his shoulders and walked to the door surrounded by his younger brothers, he said as he walked: "I already know, I have discussed it with my father, I will report today, you take care of the house at home, Ivan, after I leave, you will be the eldest in the family, you have to help my father pick out some more things!"

"Brother, I'm going to join the army!" Ivan replied with a stiff neck, then turned to look at the third child and said: "Third brother, you are not small, don't always follow me like a fart, after I join the army, you are the eldest in the family, you have to be a little assertive!"

It was the first time for the third brother to see such seriousness as the second brother, he didn't reflect it for a while, he just nodded mechanically, and the fourth brother, who was only ten years old hiding behind the third brother, suddenly jumped out: "Big brother, second brother, I'm also going to join the army!"

Ostrov and Ivan laughed together, and they kindly modeled the head of the little fourth and said, "Fourth brother, you are still too young, wait until you grow up." ”

"Why is it a short matter of parents!" Yu Wuming began to scratch his head again: "Can't this Jack get some excerpts? Why give me a whole memoir? I don't know if the old man is talking." ”

As soon as Yu Wuming finished talking to himself, Victor picked up: "Lord Earl, what are you talking about? The old man is chattering? I don't seem to have spoken all the way!"

Is it over, how can you forget that there is really an old man in this team, and he was talking to himself in a loud voice just now? Yu Wuming thought so in his heart, but hurriedly said: "Ah! I don't mean you, I was reading Ostrov's memoirs, and I felt that this old man was a little chattering. ”

"Hehe, so that's the case! But you should really take a good look at the biography of this man, his official position is not very high until retirement, but he has seen far away, and he has a lot of research on the pattern of the world, you should not only read his memoirs, but you can also talk to his descendants when you have time, you will definitely benefit a lot." ”

"Master Victor, read more of his memoirs and I understand, looking for his descendants...... , I always have to know how to find them!" Yu Wuming thought about it, the wish was very good, and it was a little difficult to achieve it.

"It's easy to find, they are your old subordinates, what's not easy to find, Ostrov's direct descendants are in Rosenheim, they have been the deputy of the head of the Leopard Regiment, the third one's name is Ilya, he is a good hand in internal affairs, and was later recommended by Ostrov to the ancestor of your family, and now he is the first housekeeper of your family, I can't remember the name of the fourth, and later inherited their father's mantle and became a history teacher. Viktor briefly recounted the Ostrov family in one breath.

"Uh, Master Victor, where is the second child, that is, Ivan?" Yu Wuming listened and found that the second child was missing.

Ivan also joined the army the following year, in the battle to retake Adenburg, he led the daredevils to the first to climb the walls of Adenborough, suffered several times the attack of the German army, more than 100 daredevils persisted until the arrival of reinforcements, the daredevils killed more than 70 people, but there was no Ivan among the less than 30 people who survived, and when the battlefield was cleaned up after the war, Ivan was not found, and he was included in the missing list. Victor paused.

"And then? Is it so hard that Ostrov didn't look for it?"

He asked all the surviving daredevils, but no one answered clearly, they only saw that their captain had led two men to break into the enemy line in order to relieve the pressure on the front, and after the battle, the bodies of the two men who had accompanied Ivan were found, and no less than twenty German corpses had fallen beside them. ”

"Will you be captured?"

Ostrov thought the same way, and when the two countries exchanged prisoners later, Ostrov closed the door and questioned the captured personnel, and also went to the person in charge of the repatriation of the prisoners in Germany, but he could not find it, and later received the news from a repatriated soldier that on the way to a prisoner of war camp in Germany, a seriously wounded officer was abandoned by the Germans on the side of the road.

Ostrov asked for the exact location, but the soldier couldn't remember exactly, only in the Ardennes Gorge. At that time, the Ardennes Gorge was used as a military buffer zone between the two countries, and neither country could send troops, Ostrov could only sneak into the canyon at night, and then quietly return in the morning, and searched for three whole days, almost all the corpses in the canyon were found, and Ivan was still not found, only a scarf that Ivan usually carried on his body, which was said to have been given to him by Ivan's fiancée before Ivan's expedition. ”

"Just because I have a scarf doesn't prove that Ivan died in the canyon!" Yu Wuming said to Victor.

"Yes, so Ostrov did not think that his brother was killed in battle until he died, and during his lifetime, he entered the Ardennes Gorge countless times in search of his brother, and after he became the senior commander of the 14th Division, he also offered a high reward. Victor pointed to the memoirs in Yu Wuming's hand and said: "These are all recorded in the second volume of Ostrov's memoirs, I see that your book is the first volume, so I won't tell you the content of the first volume, you can read it yourself." ”

"Oh, oh, okay, then Master Victor, how long will it be before we get to Rosenheim?" Yu Wuming felt that this road was so long, and he couldn't read a book for time.

"It's coming, at our current pace, there's still more than two hours. Victor looked around and told Yu Wusheng for sure.

"Hey, okay, I'll keep reading. ”

"You should take a good look, you don't have time to look at it when you get to Rosenheim. Let me tell you one more thing, Ostrov's third grandson is now the chief of staff of the Rosenheim garrison. "Victor gave Yu Wusheng a piece of violence.

"Ahh Yu Wuming hurriedly opened the book again.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Battalion commander, the Germans are catching up!" Ostrov followed the scouts to monitor the movements of the Germans, and when he found that the German reinforcements were coming, he immediately left two scouts to continue to monitor, and he returned with the others to report to the battalion commander Odega.

At this time, their 4101st Battalion was in a small town called Kale, twenty kilometers east of Salzburg, where they met a company of the 73rd German Infantry Division, the rearguard of the Germans.

As a soldier who knew the history of the Cossacks and had a considerable culture, Ostrov was originally to be trained as a reserve cadre, so he was given the rank of warrant officer, higher than the soldier, but lower than the officer.

He was supposed to stay at the division headquarters to learn command, but he asked to go to the front line, and the recruiting officer was so worn by him that he couldn't do it, so he had to arrange him to work in the combat battalion as a clerk, he originally wanted to fight a charging soldier in the combat company, but the recruiting officer also went to the top, at most he was sent to the battalion level, and wanted to go to the combat company, but there was no door, and finally there was a good young man with knowledge and connotation, but he couldn't let him die before he played a role.

Ostrov had no choice, he could only go to the 4101 battalion to report, and follow the battalion commander Odega, who had also encountered several battles before, but they were not big, and every time he fought, he applied for it, and he must go to fight, but unfortunately the battalion commander has not approved.

This time, they found a whole company of the enemy in the east of Salzburg, thinking that it must be the enemy's rearguard force, and finally caught up, but they did not expect the Germans to be so big that they handed over a large area from Attenburg to Salzburg to the local garrison, did they think so little about the Rankers?

This reality makes everyone indignant, they must give the Germans a good look, the garrisons in front of them, one by one, are not much harder than paper, and now they have found a whole company, there is nothing to say, eat it!

Ostrov once again came to Odega's side: "Battalion commander, you just let me go, I promise to take care of myself!"

"I'm sure you're weird! I've let you go through several recruit exercises, and you've been the first to come down, and if you run away, I really won't talk about you, you're good, give me a decisive charge, and be the first to be sentenced to death! Do you know how important a cultured and historical young man like you is to us Cossacks!" Odega, a veteran who has served in other imperial units all his life, knows the situation of the Cossacks in other units.

They are very popular in the lower ranks, because they are not afraid of death in battle, they are really very good cannon fodder materials, but they are nothing in the eyes of senior officers, so Odega has been squeezed out by his superiors in other troops, they are all in their forties, and they are only a small platoon commander, if it weren't for him to lead the troops, he really has a set, and the training of cannon fodder is called a success, and he would have been kicked out of the army a long time ago.

If it weren't for the formation of the Cossacks themselves this time, he would not have wanted to be a battalion commander for the rest of his life, and this time the formation of the Cossack troops would have called back all the veterans from other units of the empire, which was barely enough to form four divisions.

The Reich gave the Cossacks a regular division and two wartime divisions, and also gave a place for a supplementary division, and only gave the amount of one division for weapons and armor, which was still a second-line unit, and at the request of the Cossack elders, another division of equipment was given, which was still eliminated and ready to be destroyed.

The Cossacks allocated all the good quality equipment to this regular cavalry 14th division, and it should be said that the war horses of this division were all Cossacks themselves, and they did not get a single war horse in the hands of the Reich, but fortunately the Cossacks were born to raise and train horses.

After migrating from the Caucasus to the Ukrainian plain on the Don River, they discovered a magic horse in the Ural Mountains on the Don River, which they captured and domesticated into mounts, but unfortunately, this magic horse could only be produced on a small scale, and the number never exceeded the needs of a battalion.

When the Cossack cavalry division was formed this time, all the magic horses were gathered at this time and the 4101 battalion was formed, which was the battalion where Ostrov was.
