Chapter 128: Knight's Iron Cross
The battle at Supply Depot 57 was over, and the large British and French forces retreated, leaving only a few prisoners and few supplies for the Germans. On the other side, the German army, which had grown wise and wise, did not hesitate to make great efforts to transport all the prisoners to the rear to prevent them from causing another incident. The supplies at the supply depot were either removed by the British and French troops or destroyed in the war, so this seemingly German victory did not take much advantage. Due to Trode's explanation, the superiors did not give them additional manpower to fill the vacant position of Roy.
But one thing that surprised everyone was that it came from a medal that Roy had received. In fact, Roy personally made such a great contribution to this battle, of course, it is understandable to get a medal, but the point is that this medal is too dazzling
"Knight's Cross?!" Hans stared dumbfoundedly at the delicate medal in Trode's hand that shone brightly under the sun, which was too dazzling for him who did not even have a second-class Iron Cross
(PS: Rank - Knight's Cross (for bravery and excellence in major tasks), > Iron Cross of the first degree (for three to five brave and outstanding missions), > second class of the Iron Cross (for one brave and outstanding completion of the mission), the premise of obtaining a high-level medal is to first obtain the medal of the previous rank of the medal. )
Vincent looked at the medal with a smile and said, "I only knew that this kid was hidden, but I really didn't expect that his skills were far more than that." ”
Alicia said with some suspicion: "I remember the last time we fought in Butna, it can be said that we were acting as the absolute main force in that battle, but in the end, only Trode was awarded a first-class Iron Cross, this time the battle was not as fierce as last time, they actually gave Roy such a medal?" ”
"Don't say that." Trode smiled bitterly and said, "I can get that first-class Iron Cross, or thanks to the second-class Iron Cross that 'my previous me' desperately obtained as a premise." ”
Vincent picked up the ribbon of the medal, held it high, looked at it in the sun, and said, "Isn't this matter right in front of you?" We just can't believe it. ”
Trode said with a bitter face: "But it is really hard to believe that a person with such merit and ability can come to my squad to be a mere signal soldier."
"Don't say that, none of us know the bottom of that kid." Vincent shook the medal in his hand and said, "Who knows what he did before?" If you suddenly tell me, 'Roy once killed a squad or even a platoon by himself,' I'd believe it."
Trode curiously asked him who was fiddling with the medal, "Speaking of Vincent, you are the oldest among us, and which is the highest rank of medal you have received?" ”
"Level one, level one." Vincent shook his head and said, "Actually, that level is not genuine, it is mainly a bait for me to be an instructor, if I didn't agree to be an instructor at that time, it wouldn't have been given to me." ”
"So shameless?" Hans looked at him incredulously.
Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said to him with a smile, "What kind of fair and selfless good people are you in those people?" Don't forget what we did before we came to Walder. ”
"Ahh
Vincent put one hand through the ribbon, spun the medal in the air, and finally firmly grasped it in his hand and said: "I guess this kid never dreamed that his action of making an initiative would become an opportunity to expose his true level." ”
Trode took the medal from Vincent's hand, his hand kept shaking, and the words in his mouth trembled: "This kid, this kid" Unconsciously, Trode's tears couldn't stop flowing
Vincent put his arm around his shoulders and said, "In that case, we have nothing to worry about, do we?" ”
"Well, that's right!" Trode wiped his tears with his sleeve and said with some sobs: "I am happy tears, I am happy for him!" ”
"What?" Vincent smiled but said with resentment, "Let you say this as if we are not so happy." ”
"Rejoice! Of course we are all happy! Trode looked around at the crowd and said, "We're all happy for him, aren't we?" ”
Everyone nodded silently at him, they knew how excited Trode's heart was at this time, and they were sincerely happy that their partner had a chance to live
"Alright, wipe away your tears." Vincent flicked Trode's head with his finger and said, "I don't know what Roy would think if someone had fallen on top of another girl in his clothes."
“!” Suddenly, both Alicia and Trode's faces turned red, and both of them bowed their heads silently, not saying a word, and the others laughed loudly when they looked at them like this. However, I don't know if they laughed this way because of it, or to celebrate Roy's medal
After lunch, Trode, who had eaten well in the cafeteria, still had two loaves of bread in his hand, and he nibbled on them as he ran, and when he got into the car, he specially stuffed the bread in his arms so as not to get dirty.
After sitting firmly, Trode took out the bread from his bosom and said "Loy, do you want bread?"
When Trode's hand went down, the hand that should normally feel the strong pull, this time it didn't feel anything
"Then," Trode, who reacted immediately, quickly changed his words and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll help you eat it." ”
As he spoke, he gulped the bread into his mouth, and the others remained silent about the little episode, bowing their heads and doing their work, not noticing the crystal clear droplets of water flowing from the corners of Trode's eyes
