Brothers, have you ever remembered the youthful dream of galloping on the battlefield, and have you ever missed the heart of the man of the Iron Horse Glacier? The cruel reality makes us run around for the end, but we still yearn for the iron blood of the war! Come on! Come to this bright red battle flag, let us look forward to it together and fight side by side!!

Woohoo...... Woohoo...... Doodoo Doodoo......
Thanks to Lieutenant Motchig's repeated efforts, the "BMW" with a sidecar finally let out a pleasant roar. Wearing windproof glasses "borrowed" from the sentry, Lynn involuntarily wrapped her coat tightly, and the Horch off-road vehicle with a covered tarpaulin on top was cold enough, and this military motorcycle must be choking enough!
Motchige, who was in a hurry to get to his destination, didn't care about this, he twisted the handle hard, and the "BMW" ran with a loud and rough roar. The asphalt road looks quite smooth, and the feeling when riding in an off-road military vehicle is still stable, and when riding a three-wheeled motorcycle, the feeling of bumps up and down is very obvious and natural. Lynn's mind was not "cooled" by the oncoming cold wind, and the situation reminded him of the scene in the science fiction movie "Iron Sky": a soldier wearing a simplified spacesuit similar to a German uniform, riding a special motorcycle in the extremely barren and rocky terrain is jolting rhythmically forward, in front of him is a huge crater located on the far side of the moon, in which an incomparably large swastika building is built!
Lynn still vividly remembers that this science fiction movie is set in 1945, on the eve of the defeat of the German army, a large number of scientists and soldiers fled to the moon in flying saucers, and established a secret base for counterattacking the earth there. Originally, he just regarded it as a pure fantasy, but when he actually came to the end of World War II and saw the saucer-shaped aircraft with his own eyes, how could he not let him think about it?
"If God wants people to perish, he must first make people mad!" With such a classic line in his heart, Lynn looked at everything around him with more and more curiosity. Except for the occasional bomb crater and vehicle wreckage on the roadside, the fields are lined with patches of wheat, trees and farmhouses scattered in the countryside. Tranquility, peace, and nature, how can people combine with technology that is ahead of their time? Were those flying saucers developed by the Germans with the help of extraterrestrial technology, or were they the work of a group of crazy genius scientists?
Motchig was engrossed in driving, the rumbling of the engine and the whirring of the wind forming an invisible wall between the two. Lynn also knew that even if he asked, the lieutenant would not reveal what he knewβand he might not know the deeper story.
Either way, Lynn pulled the scarf over the bridge of her nose so that her face wouldn't turn into "frozen pork". Riding a motorcycle is naturally not as comfortable as driving an off-road military vehicle, but fortunately, its speed is not slow, and it only took more than fifty minutes for the down-and-out duo to reach Grefino. This city in northeastern Germany is unremarkable on the map and is not strategically located, given its proximity to the port of Stettin, which houses a large number of civilians in and around the city. Thinking of the White Goatee family, Lynn's eyes widened, both wanting and afraid to see familiar figures and faces in the crowd, and the difficult conditions of the refugees made him uneasy. I don't know what happened to Alice and Catrili!
The motorcycle drove into the temporary station of the third detachment of the "Vampire" commando, and Lynn put away his compassion. He followed Motchig into a basement and met the commander of the assault detachment, Captain Braze, a young commander in his early thirties at best. Shaking hands, greetings, talking, discussing. The two lieutenants, who were not very old, did not regard Lynn, the little non-commissioned officer, as outsiders, and they were engrossed in studying the battle plan. Braz made some suggestions based on what he knew about the actual situation, and Motchig gave a clear opinion on the spot after considering it, and the two seemed to work together to paint, and soon painted a colorful picture of the battle.
"Goodbye, Karenni, good luck!"
After saying goodbye to the Captain, Motchig turned to Lynn and said, "Sergeant Gargo, take care!" The lieutenant colonel said...... When the war is over, he'll have a good drink with you! β
"Okay!" Lynn nodded solemnly, "Please also convey my thanks and blessings to Lieutenant Colonel Bach on your behalf, and ask him to take care of his health!" β
Motchig customarily put on his military hat crookedly, looked at the two men with his eyes, and then left without looking back.
"Sergeant Gargo, welcome to the brave and fearless Third Commando Detachment!" Captain Blaze officially greeted Lynn with unpretentious words.
Although it was not at the forefront of the war, the atmosphere here still made Lynn feel like he was back on the battlefield, and he was not too polite: "Sir, if I can, I would like to be able to join Sergeant Eric's combat team!" β
"This request can be fully met!" Captain Blaze turned to his communications officer and said, "Go and ask Eric for a trip!" β
After the communications troop left, Blaze personally picked up the metal kettle from the stove, found a cup and poured a cup of hot water for Lynn: "You were attacked by the Allied air raids on the road, right?" β
Lynn hurriedly covered the cup with both hands to keep warm, and replied, "Yes, sir! We were strafed by a US fighter near the outpost more than 40 kilometers away, and the tires of the car were broken, but fortunately the guards there lent us motorcycles! β
"Oh!" Bratz wasn't surprised at all. By the end of the war, there was nothing to stop Allied warplanes from flying freely over German territory, except for rain, snow and fog.
Seeing that the captain had returned to his table and studied the battle map with another ensign, Lynn sat down by the fire to keep warm. Suddenly, he heard an "aha" from the door, and he turned his head to see Sergeant Eric, dressed in a dark pea camouflage combat uniform, striding in, his face full of unbearable joy.
When he met the "old man" again, Lynn's mood suddenly brightened.
At the front command, the soldiers seemed more relaxed in terms of language and body movements, only to see Sergeant Eric take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, give one to each of the two lieutenants at the table, and said with a smile: "Sir, can I just take people away?" β
Blaze put the cigarette directly in his mouth and said in a steady tone: "With a capable player joining, how about taking the lead tonight?" β
Is this inexperienced newcomer also a capable leader? As soon as he returned to the front line, Lynn was a little lacking in confidence, and as soon as he heard that he was going to take the main attack, he got up and said: "Sir, I was ordered to learn combat experience from Sergeant Eric, where can I be considered a capable general!" β
The German words and pronunciation of these words are good, but the way of speaking is too "Chinese", the two lieutenants and Eric were a little puzzled when they heard it, but fortunately, Braz smiled heartily, turned around and patted Eric on the shoulder: "Okay, take your young men to rest!" The headquarters has just received a combat order, and it is estimated that it will leave in the evening! β
"Yes, sir!" Eric turned around and looked at Lynn with a palpable smile. When he went out, he smiled and said, "What did you just say!" Everyone has heard that you made a splash in the reserve training, and even Lieutenant Colonel Bach appreciated it, why, when you came to us, it changed its taste? β
"Uh...... That's not what it means! Lynn hurriedly explained, "I'm just afraid that your team will be assigned a very risky combat mission because of me!" β
"Hey, it's time to talk about our squad!" Eric corrected with a smile, and then said: "Besides, what combat mission is not risky?" Now that you wear this badge, you should put your personal life and death aside! It is better to die in battle honorably than to live cowardly! β
It was so familiar that Lynn looked down at the silver-gray badge embroidered on her uniform. It is a skull, but unlike the SS skeleton division's logo, it does not have two crossed ribs, and the skull's fangs are so long that they are even more vicious and evil.
One day he finally became a member of the "Night Warriors", but the envy of the beginning has been melted away in the hard training. With the intention of pulling the team and getting equipment, Lynn felt that he had lost the courage to die and come back to life earlier. However, if you can't prove yourself with practical actions, how can you impress people who are truly courageous and talented by relying only on words to persuade and supplement them with small favors?
