Surviving Soviet shelling, Lynn was unable to drive back to the Army Library - about 500 meters from her destination, the car ran out of gas, and its empty fuel tank could no longer provide a fraction of the engine's energy. Wolfrum and Noah had no choice but to get out of the cart and get spontaneous help from several soldiers of the "Nordic" division on the way, and they arrived at the Army Library building with great difficulty and twists.

Seeing their companions return, Tanze, Titchmel, and Brewer were all overjoyed and thankful. The crowd gathered together, but there was no food for a reunion lunch, so they sat in silence, deeply mourning the heroic fallen comrades, and sincerely praying for the seriously wounded comrades.

In the gloomy afternoon, the Soviet artillery bombardment finally extended to the western end of Unter den Linden. Not only was the defense area of the "Nordic" division heavily shelled, but many buildings around the Army Library building were hit by heavy shells, and Lynn and his soldiers witnessed some ordinary civilian houses being destroyed and collapsed in the explosion, but as far as hiding places were concerned, they did not have to worry too much, because the Army Library, a traditional building that looked unaesthetic, was made of reinforced concrete, and both the pillars and the outer walls were very thick, and those modern fortresses, anti-aircraft turrets, built later, were not afraid of enemy long-range or direct-fire fire, and it was said that only the armor-piercing shells of battleships could break them.

"Don't worry, guys, General Castleler of the City Defense Command promised me personally that he would bring food, ammunition, and oil!" Lynn first cheered up the soldiers, and then he confessed: "At that time, we will carry out a feat that will change the fate of our lives, and I hope you will get rid of distractions and entrust all your trust to me!" ”

After the previous battles of life and death, the friendship has reached the level that Lynn envisioned, and Brewer, Wolfrum, Tanzer, Titchmel, and Noah have all entrusted him with personal trust and destiny to the fullest. As for Private Frederick, who joined the team later, Lynn temporarily separated him in the name of being on duty, leaving these old subordinates to take care of it, and then talk to him alone, depending on the situation, to decide where he finally belongs.

In the absence of outsiders, Lynn's gaze swept over the eyes and faces of the five soldiers, and said in a slightly lowered voice: "Guys, even if Berlin falls, we will not give in, and the great German spirit will guide us to continue fighting." Therefore, we must jump out of the encirclement of the enemy and go to the south, where the great forces are gathered, and wait for the clarion call for a counterattack with our most elite armored forces! Reputedly...... At the moment, the deployment of Soviet troops in the south-west direction of Berlin is relatively weak, and there may be a chance to break through from there. ”

The battle between reason and emotion was immediately clear, and the soldiers, despite some surprise and doubt, gave unwavering support to Lynn's decision.

The previous concerns were gone, and Lynn further said to the soldiers: "Some of the words, though very disappointing and frustrating, are ...... If you remember what Sergeant Jonas said to him before he died, Germany will eventually rise - defeat all enemies in the next war! In order to realize this wish, I need each and every one of you, no matter what the final outcome of this war is, not to give up your proud will to fight, and to follow me in a career that you will be proud of all your life! Can you promise me? ”

"Yes, I promise, to follow you unconditionally, just like those warriors who insisted on the truth without hesitation after the defeat of the last war, especially our great Führer!" Brewer replied quickly, and with his well-reasoned and emotional words as an opportunity, the two young privates, Tanzer and Techmel, were almost moved to tears, and swore to follow Lynn.

Finally, it was Wolfrum's turn to make a decision, and his attitude was crisp and resolute, even beyond Lynn's expectations: "Sir, you are so brave and wise, both on the battlefield and in life, I. Wolfrum hereby swears in the name of Germany that he will follow in the footsteps of our eternal commander, Lynn. Sergeant Gargo. No matter what kind of hardships you encounter, no matter what happens, you will end up in the same place! ”

Moved by this, Lynn pondered what could be regarded as an oath, "the name of Germany", which meant that it was in the interests of the country and the nation that he followed what he had done - for the time being, it was a reasonable reservation, and Lynn had to look the other way at Wolfrum's prudence and sophistication.

Finally, Noah patted his chest: "I will do whatever Commander Gargo says, there is absolutely no doubt about this!" ”

"Good!" Lynn snorted, "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Lynn, regard everyone as my own brothers, and I swear to heaven here today: our blood is fused together, and our fates are closely linked." In the face of hardship, I will never abandon any brother; At the moment, I will not abandon any of my brothers! ”

As if knowing that Lynn wanted to show a righteous spirit, the fierce artillery fire outside the window seemed to be cheering for him. Suddenly, Frederick ran up in a panic with a gun on his back and said, "Sir, sir, there is a truck outside that has been hit by enemy shells, it seems to be from the city defense headquarters!" ”

"Huh?" Lynn was taken aback, he hurriedly ran to the side that Frederick was talking about, and through the bullet holes in the window, he saw a military truck with a dark gray body and tarpaulin overturned on its side on the street more than two hundred meters away from the building, and some German soldiers had arrived and rescued the wounded from the cab, and were busy carrying things out of the car.

If it is really the supplies given to him by the city defense command, the friendly troops will still have room to coordinate the return, but the back and forth will inevitably delay the time, and once the food enters the stomachs of the soldiers, the situation will be a little troublesome. Holding the selfish thoughts of such a small group, Lynn hurriedly beckoned to everyone: "Go, hurry down!" ”

Rushing to the ground floor, Lynn realized that the Soviet artillery fire was still fierce, and the German soldiers who rushed to help were really risking their lives. By this time, the injured driver had been carried to a roadside bunker, and Lynn went over to ask, and sure enough, it was the supplies that the city defense command had delivered to him - 200 pounds of bread in 2 baskets, 200 liters of gasoline in 4 portable oil drums, 4 boxes of ammunition, and 6 assault rifles. Considering that he did not propose a specific number to General Castleler at that time, he may have only allocated according to the size of the night battle task force. In addition to gasoline, bread and ammunition are still quite abundant for Lynn's team at the moment. Just as Lynn was about to go to the overturned truck to check the situation, she heard a muffled bang, and a huge fireball rose from the back of the truck and quickly spread forward, igniting the fuel tank and cab, and the wind took advantage of the fire, and the whole truck was quickly engulfed in flames. Deterred by Soviet artillery fire, the nearby German soldiers were unable to extinguish the fire.

"Oh my God......" The German driver, whose forehead wound was still bleeding out, could not help but lament, and a moment later the medics came to bandage his wound, and an SS lieutenant with a short beard on his chin followed up and said to the driver: "My soldiers have salvaged bread and guns and ammunition, as for the rest, we can't do anything!" ”

In a hurry, Lynn asked, "Huh? Don't you guys have a little common sense that you shouldn't get the gasoline down first in this case? ”

"Gasoline?" The lieutenant looked at Lynn in surprise, his expression was a little unhappy, and then looked Lynn up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you talk like that? ”

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Lynn was already aware of his recklessness, and when he saw that the SS lieutenant was wearing the "Nordic" division logo on his cuffs, he immediately changed to a more kind tone and said: "Sir, I am Lynn, the commander of the 11th Night Commando in Berlin. Gargo, and before that, I was part of the 24th "Danish" Panzergrenadier Regiment of the 'Nordic' Division, serving in the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion! ”

"Oh, I see!" The lieutenant's expression softened, "I'm Herbert of the 11th Battalion of the 3rd Sniper Regiment of the 'Nordic' Division. Lieutenant Leitz, I heard...... The supplies in this cart are for your contingent? ”

"Yes!" With that, Lynn turned her head to look at the driver sitting next to her, to show that she wasn't talking about it.

The lieutenant motioned for Lynn to step aside with him, then whispered, "So...... Sergeant Gargo, since you served in the 'Nordic' division, we are also our own people, so let's discuss it with you! ”

As soon as this guy spoke, Lynn knew that it was related to food and ammunition, and he was not in a hurry to veto, but first to see what conditions the other party had.

The lieutenant then said in a deep and helpless tone: "The reason why our soldiers risked their lives to save this batch of supplies from the truck that was about to explode is because we are so short of food and ammunition!" In the last two days, each of our soldiers has only been able to get 50 grams of bread, note, not every day, but two days! Many people, not to mention building fortifications, are almost out of strength to hold guns, and the ammunition obtained from the armory is concentrated for the two Panzergrenadier Corps, they attacked last night, and the consumption is indeed very large, our soldiers now only have the most basic ammunition, once the fight starts, it will not last long! ”

Lynn thought about it for a moment, and then looked at the lieutenant's soldiers: "I also have a general understanding of the situation, and it is indeed not optimistic, but given that we still have some important tasks to perform, at least ...... Leave us 100 pounds of bread, 2 mp44s, and a third of our ammo, right? ”

The lieutenant did not explicitly agree with or disagree, but put his opinion in his words: "If it weren't for our soldiers risking their lives to rush to transport, all those supplies would have been finished with the trucks by now!" ”

Lynn couldn't help but turn her head to look at the burning truck, take a step back and say, "50 pounds of bread, this must not be less." 2 mp44s, which doesn't mean much to you guys. In terms of ammunition, leave us at least 1000 rounds of ammunition and 20 grenades, and ...... Can you find a way to get us a barrel of gasoline? ”

"Gasoline?" The lieutenant said the same thing with the same expression for the second time, and after thinking for a moment, he asked rhetorically: "How many of you, how many cars?" ”

"This would have been a war secret...... 15 people, 2 cars! "Lynn deliberately misrepresented the number of people.

"So be it!" The lieutenant revealed his final conditions, "30 pounds of bread, 2 MP44,600 rounds, 15 grenades, and 20 liters of gasoline from us!" ”

Although Lynn dislikes bargaining, he knows that since he has chosen an extraordinary path, the next bargaining is indispensable. So he insisted on 50 litres of gasoline, but the lieutenant said he couldn't provide that much, and Lynn relented again and had the lieutenant's men compensate with three 88mm anti-tank rockets.
