A road construction team composed of German, American, and Chinese engineering troops, as well as local natives, followed Prince Eugen's mountain division and prepared to build the road to Myitkyina, the final goal.

In the Allied plan, New Pingyang will be built into an important forward base on the road, and large military facilities including ammunition depots, field hospitals, and forward airfields will be built.

After the occupation of Xinpingyang, the 13th Mountain Infantry Regiment did not continue to advance, but stayed on the spot for a day.

In the early hours of the next morning, Ensign Jonge and Denisha woke up from their sleep and had just finished getting dressed when they heard a loud cough coming from outside the tent.

After the cough, a voice came into the tent.

"Second Lieutenant Jonger, are you up?"

The two lieutenants came out of the tent one after the other and saw a captain standing sideways outside the tent. This man knew both of them, the company commander of a battalion and a company, Captain Sebastian Falk (played by reader Sebastian Fock).

After the two sniper ensigns were assigned to the Prince Eugen Mountain Division by Chen Dao, they were subordinate to a company commanded by Captain Fokk.

Captain Fokker was also a man of status, he was originally a captain in the Swedish Army and joined the German Waffen-SS as a volunteer.

In addition, Captain Falk also has another more prominent status, being the third son of Chen Dao's eldest brother-in-law, Earl Falk, and the youngest child in the family.

Like the Junker aristocracy in Germany, Count Falk had to leave his title and most of the family property to his eldest son, and his sons who could not inherit the family business had to find another way, and Captain Falk chose to join the army.

Under the guidance of the scheming Earl Faulk, Captain Fokker resolutely chose to leave his homeland and go to Germany to join Chen Dao.

Chen Dao learned that Captain Fokker was serving in a mountain unit when he was in Sweden, so he assigned Captain Fokker to the Prince Eugen Mountain Division.

Ensign Jonge walked out of the tent, his eyes unable to adjust to the light outside the tent for a while, and he squinted and asked, "Mr. Captain, is there something wrong?" ”

Captain Falk turned around and asked with concern, "I heard that Ensign Denisha was wounded, is it serious?" ”

Ensign Jonge turned to look at Ensign Denissa, squeezing his eyes and smirking.

Ensign Denisa glared at her friend slightly, and then smiled at Captain Faulk in accordance with the etiquette education he had received.

"The doctor gave me four stitches, and it didn't get in the way, as long as I rested for a few days."

Captain Falk said: "It's not serious, the troops will be pulled out in the afternoon, you stay, wait until the wound is healed, and the doctor will remove the stitches before leaving." The environment here is harsh, and it can be troublesome if the wound infection is not treated in time. ”

Ensign Denisha was very appreciative of Captain Faulk's concern, and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll stay and chase you after my injuries are healed." ”

Captain Falk nodded, then turned to Captain Jonge and said solemnly, "Second Lieutenant Jonger, considering the complexity of the personnel here, I order you to stay and take care of Second Lieutenant Denisa, and wait until she is healed before setting off with her." ”

Second Lieutenant Jonge turned his head to look at Denisha and said after a moment's hesitation, "Okay, I'll stay and take care of her." ”

"That's it, I hope to see you again soon."

Captain Falk waved his hand, gave a sunny smile, and turned away.

Looking at Captain Faulk's distant back, Second Lieutenant Jonge waved his hand in front of Denissa's eyes.

"Hey, the person is gone, don't look any further, it's time to wash your face."

"I think Captain Falk with a stubble on his face is more handsome and more manly."

"Yes, Captain Falk is so handsome, and he still cares about people, and when the war is over, you can marry him."

Second Lieutenant Jonge teased, and went to wash up with a towel.

As the two spoke, Captain Faulk, who had gone away, let out a sigh of relief, as if he had lifted an invisible mountain from his shoulders.

Turning through a few tents, Captain Falk walked into a boarded room where the battalion headquarters was located and sat down in front of the battalion commander, Major Meyer.

Taking off the floppy hat on his head, revealing his head full of blonde hair, Captain Falk said: "Her injuries are not serious, just rest for a few days." ”

Major Meyer wiped the mustache on the side of his mouth and said with relief: "Great, we can finally get rid of these two burdens, I have already said hello to the hospital, and when we leave, the hospital will send them to the rear under the pretext that the wound may be inflamed." To be honest, I don't hate them, it's just that they're in the wrong place at the wrong time, otherwise I'd like you to have more contact with them, because you're still single. ”

Captain Falk said with a straight face and an old-feudal tone: "I don't like women in pants. ”

Major Meyer nodded, and then said:

"yes, I don't know what General Rosen thinks, it's so unbelievable to let a woman wear pants."

At this time, the European atmosphere was conservative, the style was conservative, and the standard clothing of women was only skirts, and if a woman wore pants on the street, it would be considered a behavior without family education and bad morals.

In a sense, Chen Dao won the right to wear pants for German women, a big step ahead of the times.

Major Meyer and Captain Faulk complained about the deviant behavior of the two women in front of them, and then turned to the next battle plan.

Major Meyer said: "Thirty kilometers to the southeast there is a ferry called Yubang, which is the closest ferry on the Dalong River, and the task of our battalion is to occupy this crossing and ensure that the follow-up troops can cross the Dalong River smoothly. This afternoon, you set out with your men, and tomorrow afternoon you occupy there, and I will take the whole battalion behind your company. ”

"How many Japanese are there?" Captain Falk asked.

"According to the intelligence provided by the British, there are about a hundred enemies there, less than ten Japanese, the rest are all puppet troops composed of natives, and there may be a small number of Japanese who have escaped from Xinpingyang, with the strength of your company, you can completely take there."

"I know, I'll go back and get ready right away." Captain Falk said.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Captain Falk led a company of soldiers and set off for Yubang.

At this time, on the Yubang ferry, two Japanese rubber boats were traveling back and forth on the Dalong River, which was more than 200 meters wide.

The rubber boat sent the wounded away and picked up the captain of the 55th Wing, Yuichiro Suzuki.

After disembarking on the west bank of the Great Dragon River, Yuichiro Suzuki mounted a pack horse waiting on the shore and rushed to the position of the second brigade while surveying the terrain along the river.

After arriving at the position of the 2nd Brigade, Suzuki Osa, accompanied by the commander of the 2nd Brigade, inspected the position of the 2nd Brigade.

The main position of the Second Brigade was set up in the dense forest, with a width of more than 800 meters and a depth of more than 400 meters.

After inspecting it, Suzuki Daisa said to the captain of the second brigade: "Yo Xi, Mikami-kun, your mission has been completed very well, how much combat strength do you have now?" ”

The captain of the second brigade, Mikami Shaosa, said: "The brigade has lost a lot of personnel due to illness in the past few days, and there are only more than 500 people left, but we have received part of the strength of the division and regiment mixed search team, and now the total strength is more than 650 people, and we also have the second mountain artillery brigade in the rear, and they have 12 75mm mountain artillery to support us." ”

"The 56th Wing is rushing here, and it is expected to arrive in three days, and we only need to hold out for three days. After seeing everything you have done, I think we can accomplish this task and make this a sad place for the Germans and shatter the myth of the invincibility of the German Army. ”

After a pause, Suzuki Osa continued: "Let's go, let's go and see the artillery positions." ”
