Chapter 41: Departure

"Squad leader, are you really good like this?" The soldier asked his squad leader worriedly.

"Shut up! What's so bad about that? Is there anything wrong with going into battle and killing enemies? Armand reprimanded in a low voice.

"But the general won't let you go, he said that all the soldiers involved in the airborne will stay in the camp to rest." The soldier was still not at ease.

"Hehe, you don't say it, I don't say it. Who else knows I'm getting in. Armand grinned as he carried a rifle.

"Okay." The soldier nodded helplessly.

He was a soldier in the Armand Deban, who was not selected when he was selected for the commando, but was selected to come to Munich on a third transport plane. Along the way, the surrounding comrades-in-arms said that the battle for the airport was very fierce, and the casualties accounted for two-thirds of the total number.

At first, he believed in his squad leader very much, thinking that with the squad leader's ability, he would definitely survive, but the more his comrades-in-arms talked about it, the more mysterious he became, and he began to worry a little about the squad leader's safety. The short journey of more than two hours was nothing short of torment for him who was in a state of worry.

Finally, the plane group finally landed in Munich, and as soon as he got off the plane, he began to look for the squad leader, but he searched all the commando camps and did not see the squad leader, and he even begged an officer in charge of registering the list of the dead to show him the list, but there was no squad leader's name on the list.

He began to despair, wouldn't the squad leader die and even the scum would be gone?

The order to assemble interrupted his search, and the soldier walked to the assembled camp with his head down, mourning in silence for the squad leader.

But at this moment, he saw a scene that made him happy, his squad leader was standing in the assembled team with a rifle! He excitedly ran up and said hello to his squad leader, so there was the above scene.

"Squad leader, why do you continue to fight when you have a chance to rest? Didn't you feel tired after such a fierce battle? The soldier couldn't figure out why.

Armand scratched his head and said, "Is it tragic?" I don't think it's a big deal. ”

The soldier was a little speechless: "You sacrificed two-thirds of your people, isn't it bad enough?" Then, as if thinking of something, he continued, "By the way, squad leader, how many enemies have you killed?" ”

Armand thought for a moment and said, "More than 40 or more than 50, I can't remember." ”

The soldier's mouth opened wide in surprise, oh my God, forty or fifty! It's a killing machine!

"Hey, man, squeeze back and give us a spot." A voice interjected from the side, interrupting the conversation.

Armand looked up at his side, and then he opened his mouth in surprise like the soldier just now, and said in a lost voice, "Man...... Major Manstein?! ”

The man who spoke was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly covered Armand's mouth and whispered, "Don't call out my name!" Understand? ”

Armand nodded, signaling that he understood. When Manstein saw this, he let go of the hand covering his mouth, looked at the rank of private on his uniform, and then asked in a low and puzzled voice: "How do you know me?" I'm wearing a private's clothes. ”

Armand looked at Manstein's eyes and said, "Mr. Major, you are my idol." Do you remember when you drove a tractor to do drills? I'm one of your opponents. ”

Manstein's face darkened a little, and he said: "Tractor? When have I ever driven a tractor? ”

Armand saw that Manstein didn't remember a little, and suddenly became a little anxious: "Why don't you remember?" Did your tractor break or I was the first to catch up with you, and I punched you a few times. ”

Manstein's face darkened, and he nodded his head to indicate that he remembered.

However, Armand clearly did not intend to let him go: "To be honest, your tractor is really good." At first, my squad leader led us to dismantle your tractor, but the squad leader was overturned by the infantry who followed you, and if I hadn't been clever enough to get into the trench on the side, I wouldn't have had a chance to hit you later. ”

As soon as Manstein heard that if he continued like this, a little of his black history would be revealed, and there were also his own crew members on the side, and they couldn't hold back their laughter!

Hurriedly diverted the topic: "I just heard that you killed forty or fifty people?" It's really fake! ”

Hearing this, Armand said proudly: "Of course it's true! If I hadn't run out of ammunition in the submachine gun in the back, I would have killed more! ”

"Yes, our squad leader's marksmanship is super accurate, and he is the first in every regimental competition!" The soldiers standing on the side were also proud.

Manstein breathed a sigh of relief, finally got away from the topic, then smiled and patted Armand on the shoulder, and said, "Good job, I'll tell the general about your achievements." ”

"What did I do?" Armand's eyes lit up again, "Can I join your troops, then?" Every time I submit an application, I am rejected. ”

Manstein, who was squeezing into the ranks, stumbled on his feet and said, "No, no, no, how can you be such a good shooter in the tank troops?" I'll ask General Lyon to transfer you to the right unit for you. Armand was disappointed.

"By the way, Mr. Major." Armand's soldier next to him asked Manstein, "Why are you wearing a private's clothes?" ”

Manstein was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head uncomfortably, and said: "Only 44 people survived in my troops, and I said when I broke out that I would avenge them with my own hands!" ”

"Yes, blood debts can only be paid with blood. Unfortunately, General Leon was worried about the safety of his commander and did not allow him to continue the battle, so we could only pretend to be an ordinary soldier. Manstein's crew member said.

Armand nodded in agreement, it turned out that Major Manstein was in the same situation as him.

"Good! Now I give an order on behalf of all German citizens, all soldiers! On the way to Munich! Leon, who was on the stage, had just finished the last sentence and gave the order to set off, apparently not seeing Manstein in the crowd in a private's uniform and a steel helmet.

After Leon gave the order, the queue turned to the right in a uniform manner, and boarded the various cars that had been waiting for him in an orderly manner.

The vehicles were improvised, but most of them were transport trucks, enough to transport troops to Munich.

After Leon finished his speech, he returned to the temporary headquarters, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Sophia on the side with a smile: "My dear, I am grateful to have you, otherwise I don't know what to do with this speech." Thank you! ”

Sophia lowered her head shyly and said, "I'm very happy to help you, no need to say thank you." Leon smiled happily when he heard this.

"Oh, by the way, when you were giving your speech just now, Mr. Ludwig asked me to tell you that Major Manstein was missing, and he was trying to find him."

Leon's smile froze and he said in disbelief, "Manstein is gone?!" Such a big living person. Then he thought of something and slapped himself on the head, "Damn, he must have mixed up in the army and ran to fight, he said he was going to take revenge!" ”

Sophia was stunned for a moment and said, "What should I do then?" It's so dangerous, something won't happen to Mr. Manstein, right? ”

"Guard, go and inform Ludwig to come to me." Leon said weakly.

It didn't take long for Ludwig, with an anxious face, to run up to Leon: "General, I'm sorry! I didn't look at him. There were no one missing, no one was missing, no one was missing, but Major Manstein and his crew were gone, and I searched the airfield without seeing anyone. ”

Leon said helplessly: "He definitely went to Munich with the troops." Now it's not a question of blame, it's definitely impossible to catch up with the troops. So take my platoon of guards and all the Gestapo to Munich, and bring me Manstein safely!" ”

"But your safety ......," Ludwig hesitated.

"It's okay, don't worry. Hitler didn't have the ability to hit me, and I was safe. Leon waved his hand and motioned for Ludwig to carry out the order.

"Good! General, be careful. I'm going to bring Major Manstein back! Ludwig gave a military salute and turned to run outside.

Leon said to himself worriedly: "Manstein, don't have an accident with you, what should I do if something happens to you?" What about Germany in the future? ”

Sophia walked behind Leon and rubbed his shoulder, and said softly: "It's okay Leon, Manstein is so powerful, he will definitely come back alive." ”

Leon could only smile bitterly: "I hope." ”
