Chapter 128: Like-minded

With only a crisp click, Lynn's last double magazine finally completed its battlefield mission. At this point, Lynn still has three separate arc-shaped magazines left, plus sporadic bullets, and a hundred rounds of 7.92 mm caliber intermediate power bullets, which together weigh less than two kilograms. Thinking about the long road ahead, these ammunition are not much.

After two full-time night fighters equipped with infrared night vision equipment joined forces to strangle, plus the German infantry formed a two-sided flanking situation, the battle in this area in front of them was basically settled, and the few surviving Soviet soldiers had no worries at all.

The ruins at the four corners of this street were originally defended by Soviet soldiers, but after a series of hard battles, the threat has been eliminated in the two corners to the south. Although there were not a few Soviet soldiers in the other two diagonal corners, they only had ordinary guns and light mortars after all. Under the cover of their own infantry, the Night Leopard and the No. 3 assault gun quickly drove across the street and continued along the southern side of the road – the German soldiers who accompanied them knew the significance of the two tanks and would desperately stop them if they saw a Soviet soldier trying to come forward and throw grenades or incendiary grenades.

Hurriedly gathering her soldiers and bringing senior female war correspondents dressed as ordinary soldiers, Lynn led the team to join the breakout force, which had been significantly reduced in size. The crowd fought as they went, passed through the last part of the city, and finally left the city of Oranienburg before the arrival of the Soviet army.

Leaving the city did not mean safety, and the breakout force had no way of knowing the state of the southern line of defense due to the inability to contact its own headquarters - the gunfire had subsided, and it was possible that the German garrison had repelled the Soviets, or that the Soviets had occupied defensive positions there.

Halfway through, the two chariots stopped one after another. The commander of the "Night Panther", a young ensign in a black armored uniform, the commander of the No. 3 assault gun, a non-commissioned officer of the armored corps, who looked to be about thirty years old, and the two highest-ranking soldiers in the company, the army captain in his early forties, and the SS major, who was over fifty years old, gathered together to discuss for a moment, and then the SS major turned and asked, "Are there night soldiers here?" ”

Lynn looked left and right, and couldn't count on others, so he took the initiative to line up the crowd and stepped forward.

"Commander of the 167th Night Combat Group, Lynn. Gargo! ”

"Sergeant Gargo!" The Major saluted, "I'm Conrad of the 10th Grenadier Regiment of the SS 5th Panzer Division. Major Ziegler, having consulted with the officers of the various divisions, is now temporarily in charge of the operational command of this unit. Long story short! Further on is the defensive area of the 5th Mountain Armyβ€”hopefully they're still there. Sergeant, we have actually lost contact with the outside world since the afternoon, and we can't determine the situation ahead at all, I hope you and your night combat team can go to reconnoitre! ”

The Scout sounds imposing, but it belongs to the high-risk class. Whether it's an armored scout using a fast armored vehicle as a combat tool, or an ordinary scout traveling on a motorcycle, horse, or on foot, they can be fatally hit by the enemy before they have time to react.

Lynn couldn't excuse it, but asked, "Is there a military map?" The arming map is even better! ”

The Major shook his head silently.

I don't know what the staff officers of the command thought about it, and the operational sketches issued to the night battle teams only included the terrain of the city of Oranienburg, and Lynn didn't even know what the shape of the outer positions south of the city was. Fortunately, after carrying out the infiltration mission through the position north of the city, I have a general understanding of the composition of the German defense line, so I think there should not be much difference in the positions of the various units of the same army group, right?

After thinking about it for a moment, Lynn asked again, "We're going to scout, are you just waiting here?" ”

The Major looked back and saw that there was still fire and gunfire in the city of Oranienburg.

"We have to keep moving forward, and you ...... It's best to be one step ahead of us, turn back and report as soon as you spot an enemy, or fire a warning shot! Sergeant Gargo, I know, this is a difficult and impersonal task, but look at the rest of our soldiers, they are really not capable of fighting another fierce encounter! ”

Lynn knew that this was true, except for the "Night Leopard" and the No. 3 assault gun, there were only 100 people left in the breakout force, some were wounded, some had no weapons or ran out of ammunition, and Lynn even saw two female nurses.

"Miss Vottridge, please come here!" Lynn called, and when the senior female war correspondent came closer, he turned sideways and introduced to the major: "This is Miss Futteridge, a senior war correspondent sent by the Propaganda Department, my team and I have been ordered to escort her back to the rear, and due to the conflict with the new mission you have assigned, can you please protect Miss Futteridge on your behalf?" ”

The Major looked at Eva and did not greet Lynn directly, but replied to Lynn: "This is a reasonable request, I will do my best!" ”

After this, the major politely said to Eva, "Hello, Miss Votridge, I am Conrad of the SS 5th Viking Panzer Division. Zeigler. We're sorry, but we need Sergeant Gargo and his elite night soldiers to serve as reconnaissance guards for the troops, so from now on, your safety will be my own responsibility! ”

In this case, Eva is probably the only character who doesn't have any choice, and although she looks disgraced, she still maintains the calmness she wants to show to others.

"It's up to you! I have no opinion! ”

The Major nodded, turned to Lynn and said, "Let's go!" Sergeant Gargo! If you can successfully break through, I will definitely report your bravery to my superiors! ”

Lynn stood side by side, but didn't say much. In the face of life and death, honor is just a floating cloud.

"Sergeant Gargo!" Eva turned to face Lynn, "Thank you for escorting you all the way, and good luck anyway!" ”

Lynn nodded, although it was a reconnaissance mission, the battle was probably unavoidable, so except for Graff and Vireger, who had been slightly wounded in the previous battle, the rest of the soldiers under his command were all on the battlefield - no one was killed in the hard battle, which was already the best that Lynn could predict.

There's not much battery power left, but the weight doesn't stop. In order to reconnoiter ahead of the large army, Lynn ordered the soldiers to run forward, and after more than a kilometer, he and Brewer were at the back of the line.

"Sir, let me help you!" Wolfrum had taken care of Eva all the way before, and he had not participated in the war seriously, so his physical strength was more reserved than that of others.

Walking in the woods by the roadside, Lynn suddenly felt like he had returned to the night when he first participated in the night battle, and he also took the initiative to help Eric carry his equipment. In a single thought, fate changed unpredictably.

The battle did take a lot of energy, so Lynn didn't shirk it, handed the veteran the full set of equipment that was connected together, and then asked in a low voice, "You seem to like Eva very much?" Well? ”

Wolfrum laughed "hey", "There's no way Miss Vottridge could have taken a fancy to an ordinary soldier like me!" ”

Although the contact time with her has been less than a day, Lynn also feels that although Eva is more easy-going, she is by no means the kind of person who is willing to be ordinary, and judging from her style of doing things, she has seen a lot and her vision is not low. Not to mention Wolfrum, even if he has the heart to cling, I'm afraid he won't have a chance.

At this time, Brewer, who was walking behind, also unloaded his night vision equipment and asked his companion to do it for him, and he walked quickly to Lynn's side: "Sir, your shooting skills are really good, and your ability to grasp the timing is also great!" ”

This sounded flattering, and Lynn shook her head and said, "These are just instincts for survival!" ”

Skimming the heavy battery case, "Quasimodo" walked with a straight chest, but he was still half a head shorter than Lynn. He whispered, "Sir, have you ever thought about the future?" ”

Hearing Brewer's words, Lynn's heart shook: Yo? Hit someone who wants to dig into the wall?

"Later? In the future, of course, I will continue to climb up and eventually become an officer! With the ability of the chief, this is certainly not a problem! "Wolfrum is a veteran, and he is still a little good at flattery.

Lynn was not interested in such compliments at all, and he turned his head to look at Brewer: "What you call the future is ......"

"After the war, of course!" Brewer deliberately kept his voice down, knowing that before the war was completely lost, discussing such topics would likely be labeled "treasonous". Because of this, Lynn has always only had a good personal relationship with his companions, at most asking questions on the side, and has never been so straightforward.

"Is there another choice?" Lynn deliberately played dumb.

"Uh-huh!" Seeing that Lynn was not disgusted, Brewer immediately got closer, "Win or lose, post-war Germany does not need such a large army as it is now, and I personally have some small ideas on the way to make a living." In fact, before joining the army, I was engaged in import and export trade for many years - mainly between Germany and Sweden, and then the shipping route was broken and the company went out of business, so I ......"

Yo? This is still a guy who does business, if not worth millions, he will not be reduced to the point of being an SS soldier, right?

Lynn was full of curiosity and doubt, and continued to pretend: "What does this have to do with me?" I don't know anything! ”

"It doesn't matter, the key is whether you have a vision or not!" Brewer whispered, "The battlefield and the mall often have the same principle, and the overall situation on the battlefield can play a role in the mall!" ”

"Hey, so keen on business, could it be of Jewish descent?"

Wolfrum's words were probably unintentional, but when he said them, Brewer was disgusted: "Is it only Jews in the world who do business?" Don't confuse me with those filthy pigs, I'm a pure German, a noble Aryan race! ”

"Gordon is just kidding, don't care!" Lynn quickly resolved the pointless argument between the two sides, and when the group climbed the hill to a hill high above the ground, he asked Wolfrum to turn on the infrared searchlight and taught him how to use it again.

Wolfrum cautiously glanced at the fan-shaped area in front of him and whispered, "There are no people or vehicles moving within a hundred meters!" ”

Lynn wanted to come to Tanze's rifle, and observed it through the ordinary 4x sniper scope for a while: "It's so quiet in front, it seems that there is no one!" ”

"Shhhh......h

Lynn listened intently, and faintly heard the rustling sound of the crawlers rubbing, if there was any, if it was near or far.
