One afternoon in the autumn of 1895, a light rain was falling in the sky, and in a winding valley on the eastern outskirts of Königsberg, a group of teenagers in gray military uniforms marched. This is the culmination of the first phase of the Königsberg Cadet Military Academy, and a total of twenty-four cadets, including Chentian, aged 13, Thomas, 14, Ollie, 13, and 21 other teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 are about to complete their final semester of study and then all of them will be sent to the Royal Army Academy.

Although the team was small in number, they were all in good spirits, and they marched silently with their still a little immature chest. On their backs was the Model 1888 Mauser rifle, the first rifle adopted by the Imperial Army to use smokeless yao, and despite its high price and some flaws in performance, the military academy decided to use this currently more advanced rifle as a training weapon. Since this was just a normal marching exercise, they were not equipped with bullets, and each person carried only a bayonet and a water bottle, as well as a backpack characteristic of the German army.

After crossing the valley, they only need to cross another wooded area to reach a village, where they will have dinner and then return to the military school overnight along the main road.

Gradually, the rain stopped, and from time to time various animals jumped out of the bushes and then into another bush, and the birds sang happily overhead, and it seemed that there were few human disturbances in the usual place. It's a vibrant place on the surface, but there's a murderous aura behind it......

"Stop!" The instructor told everyone to stop, because the animals around them suddenly ran around in a panic, and after a while, the woods, which had been very lively just now, suddenly became quiet, and because it was close to dusk, the light in the woods began to dim.

"It seems that some dangerous animals have appeared, and the little animals are hiding!" Thomas stabbed Chentian in the arm.

"It seems to be! I don't think the atmosphere is quite right! It's a pity that we weren't allowed to carry bullets! Otherwise, what are you afraid of! Chen Tian shook his shoulder.

"No, what's going to happen?" Ollie followed them closely.

"Maybe it's a wolf, maybe it's a bear! Wolves prefer meat! Thomas looked around.

But the only instructor in this team was now stunned, at a loss.

"Instructor, what's wrong?" Chen Tian walked over and asked.

"Well, Your Highness, we've probably run into some beast! But I haven't seen that before! This ......" The instructor looked at Chen Tian and became even more nervous!

"Alright, now I'll be in command here!" Chen Tian felt that this instructor was probably here to eat, as if he hadn't seen any scenes, and he would fire this guy when he went back!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Listen, everyone, now I'm in charge here! Let's run forward to the open space in front of us! Chen Tian gave the order succinctly.

"Yes!"

After a while, they came to the small clearing, only there was still a little sunlight there.

"Everyone get on the bayonets, line up in two rows, and then form a circle!" Chen Tian drew his bayonet and commanded everyone.

"Squat down in the front row, raise the bayonet in the back row!" Chen Tian asked everyone to line up in the formation of infantry and cavalry, and then waited for the appearance of the "enemy".

It soon darkened.

"Look over there! Over there! Suddenly, one of the students exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and there were green dots in the darkness, more and more, getting closer and closer......

"Ahh Wolf! Another student also exclaimed!

"There's it too!"

"There's it too!"

We ran into wolves, and Tatsuten sighed deeply.

Wolves should be afraid of fire, but after the rain, I'm afraid it's hard to light a torch and faint to death!

"Don't be alarmed, everybody! The bayonets in the front row are raised horizontally, and the bayonets in the back row are obliquely downward, everyone tries to get as close as possible! "Chen Tian can only hope that their bayonets will be able to stop the wolves now.

Twenty-five people were close together, in a small circle.

The wolves did not immediately pounce, and the first few wolves tentatively walked up to two or three meters away from them and stood there watching the group.

Chen Tian could feel someone trembling around him.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! It's just a bunch of brutes! And we are Königsberg, East Prussia, and the best youth of the entire German Reich! Believe in the rifles and bayonets in your hands, and in your comrades behind you! We're fighting together! ”

"Fight side by side!" The morale of the entire team rose all at once, and everyone cheered up and stared at the wolf in front of them.

Woo......

Woo......

The wolves howled one after another.

It's night, and Chentian and they are still confronting the wolves.

The wolves tried to rush up several times, but were blocked by bayonets.

As the night deepened, they became more and more tired, and their eyelids kept fighting, and everyone began to stand less steady, and some people began to sway.

"Everybody hold on! Just wait until dawn! Now we have no way out, as long as one person escapes, there will be a gap, and everyone is in danger! I believe we can keep fighting, do you believe it? ”

"Believe!"

"Believe ......"

When the first rays of sunlight shone through the woods on the teenagers, they seemed to see the gate of heaven, and a smile finally appeared on their tired faces.

Woo......

The wolves let out a long howl and disappeared into the woods.

"Ouch! Acid to death! ”

"Finally got through it!"

Everyone sat on the ground, stretching their stiff necks and limbs.

Chen Tian felt that his hands and feet were cold and cold, and he was numb, but he finally led everyone to get through, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, Thomas and Ollie ran over, lifted up Chentian, and shouted loudly:

"Long live Prince William! Banzai! ”

The others also ran over to join them, and Tatsuten was thrown into the air again and again, and they were as happy as if they had won a big battle.

"We all deserve to remember today! Today, for the first time, we fought shoulder to shoulder, and it was because we believed in each other that we were able to persevere until the end! You know, even if one person escapes, we're probably doomed. However, we persevered, which shows that we can trust each other! We should always remember today and remember the trust between us! ”

Twenty years later, in the officer corps of the East Prussian Legion, it was precisely because of the mutual trust and tacit cooperation of this group of people that the East Prussian Army became the most combat-ready in the German army.
