"Leon! Here's our chance! Bruce shook his fists excitedly, shouting.

After the end of the Polish campaign, the 7th Company led by Lyon became famous for its good performance in the Battle of the Buzura River, supporting the besieged 30th Infantry Division in time, actively obeying the orders of the commander of the 30th Division, Hans, and serving as the spearhead of the division's counterattack.

After the war, when the 30th Division began to be rebuilt, the first unit to be named by division commander Hans was the 7th Company of Lyon. For this reason, Hans even quarreled with Lyon's original teacher.

Now a company under the command of Lyon, after supplementary training, has become a sharp knife company of the first regiment and one battalion of the 30th Infantry Division, and it is a famous meritorious company in the whole division!

And their first mission as a new unit was a Wehrmacht vs. SS company drill on the outskirts of Berlin a week later.

By drawing lots, the Wehrmacht was the attacking side and the SS was the defending side.

As one of the most important company-level troops of Hans's division, Lyons seems to be a little reluctant if they can't make this first credit after joining.

"This is not on the battlefield, can you not be startled when you speak!" Leon, who was lying on the dormitory bed for a morning break, rolled over and glanced at Bruce: "The rare lunch break was interrupted by you like this." ”

Leon and Bruce have been roommates since they were in military school, and now they have chosen the same room in the dormitory of the 30th Division. Of course, Leon was the lieutenant company commander and Bruce was the second lieutenant platoon leader, and both of them could choose the better conditions of the 4-man officers' dormitory.

However, Leon and Bruce have always been accustomed to staying with the soldiers, so they chose a soldier dormitory with 4 bunk beds together. Leon slept on the lower bunk, and Bruce chose the upper bunk.

"Lyon, I heard that the military department is going to select an excellent unit that has participated in the Polish campaign to fight the SS for the exercise." Bruce smiled and saw Leon, rubbing his hands and said: "Now that the news has spread outside, our division has been favored by the military department because of its outstanding combat achievements, and has been asked to select an elite company to participate in the exercise. And the first thing that came to mind for Commander Hans was our company. ”

"Yes, that's right."; Leon nodded lightly and said, "The master and I have talked about this matter alone, and I have been thinking about it recently. ”

"What else to consider!" Bruce grabbed Leon's shoulder and shook it violently: "Think about why we usually train so harshly, think about how much Commander Hans treats us, are you embarrassed to refuse to participate in the exercise?!" ”

Raising his hand to pull Bruce's arms away, Leon sighed and said, "It's not that I'm embarrassed........"

"Then why don't you agree on the spot," Bruce stared at Leon eagerly and said, "We can win this exercise, show everyone, the reason why our company is called the Sharp Knife Company is the confidence!" ”

In the face of Bruce's questioning, Leon did not show any impatience. On the contrary, he understands Bruce's mood very well at the moment.

It's not because Leon and Bruce studied together at military school for many years, and it's not because they now share a double bunk bed in the same bed. The reason why he can respond patiently to Bruce's anxious attitude is entirely because of his understanding of Bruce's daily hard training team.

Bruce's platoon is the most elite platoon under Lyon. Their training intensity, results in various subjects, and adaptability to combat are all recognized as the best in the company.

At the beginning of the Polish campaign, Bruce's platoon was tasked with opening the way for the entire company. And in the process of opening the way, the superb quality and vigilance of the soldiers in the platoon are also obvious to all.

Under Bruce's drill, a platoon of fighters can quickly disperse their vigilance in a matter of seconds with just one gesture. At the sound of an order, they will not hesitate to raise their guns and fire a volley at any strong enemy.

All of this was done with Bruce's ambition and ambition.

Bruce wanted to make a meritorious service, and Leon had understood this quite clearly and definitely from the time he was in military school.

"Bruce, listen to me." Leon thought about it for a while, and finally said to Brustein: "To be honest, I don't think our men can defeat a company of the SS. ”

"Why!?" Bruce looked incredulous. In his impression, Leon is not a coward who grows up his ambition and destroys his own prestige.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Leon stood in front of Bruce seriously and explained: "Bruce, your platoon is well-trained, even if it is called super elite, I don't think it is an exaggeration. ”

Patting Bruce on the shoulder, Leon lowered his voice and said, "However, not even every platoon has gone through your super-intense training like your platoon." I also think the other two platoons are well trained, but you can't think of them all as your platoon. In terms of combat effectiveness, I believe that none of them can compare to a row. ”

Leon's words, while explaining the reason for his concern, also praised Bruce for leading the troops and being well-trained. After hearing this, Bruce's face immediately looked much better.

"Are you worried that the other two platoons are not strong in combat, so you didn't agree?" When Bruce said this, he was obviously much calmer than he had just been.

"I can't say that," Leon shook his head and continued to explain, "I didn't say that our second and third platoons are not highly combative, it's just that they haven't been trained as perverted as your platoon, and at most they are ordinary main forces, not super elite." ”

"Cut, you're still so good at talking, no one wants to offend." Bruce smiled and recalled, "It's the same as when I was in military school." ”

"Of course, there is no benefit in saying bad things behind your back" Leon also smiled happily, and then looked at Bruce, who had calmed down, and said: "Then again, in fact, I am still very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of our company." It's just that the SS gang is also a notoriously super elite in the Empire, and I still don't know the bottom of my heart when I think of fighting them. ”

"What's this, anyway, an exercise is not a real battle, and you won't die if you lose." Bruce encouraged Leon: "We are the elite of the Wehrmacht, the SS is the elite of the Reich, and now the two elites are on the premise of being equally fair, and a duel is used to test our strength." As a soldier, isn't this a coveted showdown? Besides, over the years, ......."

In the end, Leon was unable to overcome the obsessive Bruce and agreed to his comrade's proposal.

Looking at Bruce, who was finally satisfied and left, Leon, who knew the inside story of the exercise, could only smile bitterly silently.

Bruce, this drill isn't as fair as you say. The Wehrmacht was not without intentions in this exercise, they had already tried to coerce and lure a batch of semi-automatic rifles from Mauser, and were ready to replace the 98K rifles in our company's original infantry squad during the exercise.

If it had been 20 years ago, the generals of the Wehrmacht would not have imagined such a petty tactic that had no glory to speak of. Can ...... now All fucking ruined by Reinhardt's bastard!
