Chapter 126: All the Way North (Part II)

.“ Domon! Domon! It's Lieutenant Pascal out there! Damn, let him in! ”

As the voice of disgruntled voice came from inside the headquarters, Domon was chatting with the Panzer lieutenant about the bad roads and the equally bad weather.

"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel!" Domon shrugged at the lieutenant beside him, signaling that he could go in and smiled good-naturedly, as if to say, "Hey, man, there's an angry bear in there that has been disturbed by a good dream, good luck!" ”

The lieutenant had a hat on his whole head, and he had to go in hard. At this time, Domon had no interest in listening to their chatter outside, not to mention that there were guards at the entrance of the headquarters, and even if there were none, I am afraid that no Japanese soldier would be able to pass through the large German garrison here. So, now all Domon has to do is to fill his stomach, and if Lieutenant Colonel Okula can successfully implement his "hibernation plan" for a while, he can also find a bed blanket in the headquarters to rest well.

"It's a tiring battle!" Domon moved his arms as he walked towards the regimental cafeteria.

Not far away, two high-ranking officers dressed as men who were really walking in this direction also happened to notice Domon.

"That seems to be Okoura's lieutenant, I'll ask him if Okoura is there......" The officer with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose was about to walk up to stop Domon, but the small general next to him stopped him.

"No, I guess which Okura is sleeping in the headquarters!"

"Yes, General! …… Well, with all due respect, as far as I know, the combat effectiveness of Okura's regiment due to mechanical failures is far greater than the combat losses, and I am afraid that what they lack most now is time to repair! Said the bespectacled colonel.

"Well, now there is no regiment in our division that can immediately dispatch more than eighty percent of combat vehicles, although the absolute distance of this march is not particularly far, but the road conditions are ......" The general who is not tall also shook his head helplessly, he was wearing a gray German Army winter army coat at this time, which seemed to be a little incompatible with the pure black German armored army uniform inside him. However, from the placket of his coat, you can faintly see the brightly colored medals. Of course, in 1929, after many major wars, what German general did not have a few medals to show off on his chest?

"So I've always felt that the command of the cluster command is a bit ......," the bespectacled colonel said again.

The general looked ahead indifferently, and a few steps to the headquarters of the 4th Panzer Regiment in Okula, where the guards at the gate had already fixed their eyes on the two senior officers and were only waiting to raise their guns and salute.

"General, did you say that General Rundstead was in a hurry...... Colonel Glasses whispered.

"I'm afraid this is not an order from General Rundsteadt, in my impression. He's a guy who would rather be cautious than make surprises or dangerous moves, so we've been steady since we landed on the Korean Peninsula, which is very different from when we were in the United States, isn't it? The general continued to walk forward with a blank face.

"Oh? If not General Rundstead...... Could it be that His Majesty gave a direct order? Colonel glasses' eyes widened.

"Your Majesty has rarely directly intervened in the front-line battle situation in recent years, except in critical battles, and the action before us ......" The general shook his head with a serious face.

"Hiss......" Colonel took a deep breath, but did not say what he wanted to say, because by this time the guards standing in front of the command of the 4th Regiment had already raised their rifles in their hands.

"Salute!"

The two of them walked in without speaking, and at this time, in the innermost room of the command, Okura's loud voice was blowing:

"Tanks? You ask me for a tank. So who am I looking for? All right! You are asked to perform the tasks of a platoon. Then I'll demote you to platoon commander now! ”

"This Okura!" The glasses colonel and the general looked at each other, and each other had funny and angry expressions on their faces.

"Lieutenant Colonel, why is your temper so big today!" The general said as he pushed the door open and entered the room inside. The small room was full of smoke, the military uniform sitting on the bed was only buttoned a few buttons, and his hair was messy, and the military man sitting on the chair had a very neat appearance, but at this time he had an innocent expression, but both of them were smoking at this time, and from this point of view, the situation inside was far less serious than it sounded serious.

"Ah...... It's General Rommel and Colonel Hamann, why are you here! Belch...... Salute! The lieutenant colonel's cigarette butt burst into the air, and the lieutenant was already standing straight.

"It's a violation of military rules to be untidy in front of the commander!" Colonel Glasses pointed to Oquara's military uniform and said solemnly.

"Uh...... Report Colonel. I was just resting in the ground, and this kid had to be outside shouting about the tank, so he ......"

Urla was busy explaining, when the slightly smaller general, the famous Erwin Rommel, interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel, we're not here to check military discipline today, and I probably know everyone's situation. Everyone has worked hard along the way! ”

"The general is serious! These are our responsibilities, and we feel honored to be able to serve the Imperial Army! Although he heard Rommel say this, Oqula still hurriedly buttoned the general's uniform one by one, and finally used to tease his hair, but it backfired, and the yellow hair showed no signs of becoming neat at all.

Rommel nodded, "Sit down, don't be restrained!" Lieutenant Pascal 16 K was about to take his leave, but Rommel motioned for him to stay. Since there were no extra stools in the room, Pascal sat on the chair, Ocula sat on the bed, and Rommel and his chief of staff, Harman, still standing.

"Lieutenant Colonel, how is the situation of your regiment now?" Rommel didn't mind speaking in his current standing position, and Ocura, who was opposite, stood up suddenly when answering a question, while Pascal on the side was either sitting or standing, and the expression on his face was very restrained.

"Report to the general, our regiment is currently repairing here according to the order of the superiors, and the specific situation ......" The slight hesitation was fleeting, and Okura straightened his chest and replied loudly: "Our regiment has 46 Type 3-G tanks, 40 Type IV-F tanks, 12 Type IV-H tanks, 72 Type 1926 assault guns, and 32 armored vehicles, and currently 17 Type 3-G tanks, 19 Type IV-F tanks, and 5 Type IV-H tanks due to mechanical failure. 21 Type 1926 assault guns and 9 armored vehicles, 3 Type 3-G tanks, 1 Type IV-F tank, 3 armored vehicles were lost due to the battle, and about 50 tanks, 30 assault guns and 15 important parts of armored vehicles were worn out and urgently needed to be replaced! ”

Rommel already knew these numbers, but Oqula's firm tone still made him nod deeply and approvingly, "Lieutenant Colonel, if you want your troops to move forward and set off today, can you do it?" ”

Okura was stunned for a moment, then bit his lip, "Report to the general, there is no problem!" ”
