At the door of the Army Library, I saw Luca sitting in the Horch military vehicle. Motchig, Lynn suddenly had a strange feeling - this staff liaison officer of the "vampire" commando seemed to be able to bring good news to him every time he appeared, could he be his own "messenger of the gospel"?

Sure enough, seeing Lynn coming, Motchig pushed the car door and said in a witty tone, "Ha, our hero is really hard to wait!" ”

Lynn hurriedly apologized, "Uh, there are some personal matters, so ......"

"No need to explain!" Motchig calmly excused Lynn, he first took out a black-and-white printed newspaper from his briefcase, and said calmly: "Congratulations, you and your combat team have become battle heroes!" ”

Hearing this, Lynn guessed that this must be the same as Eva. Voutridge had a direct connection, and when he took the newspaper, the Berliner Zeitung, from the bottom of the front page, published in large pages the deeds of the 167th Night Assault Group, and even accompanied by a simple hand-drawn drawing, knowing that Eva would return to Berlin as soon as the morning before. In just 24 hours, considering that the newspaper still has to be typeset and printed, she really put her heart and soul into this report.

"Yes, that's good, even Colonel Bach is stained!" Motchig said as he pulled another document out of his briefcase.

"Well, this is your promotion order and appointment order, from now on, you are the commander of the 11th Night Task Force directly under the Berlin City Defense Command, Sergeant Gargo!"

"Task force? Staff sergeant? Stained? "There was so much information in a short period of time that Lynn was a little foggy.

"The situation is urgent, and there is no way to explain it - it is complicated enough!" Motchig said this as if he were in a self-rounding situation, and he finally pulled out a third item from his briefcase, a rather delicate pair of brass-shelled telescopes.

"This is a personal gift from Colonel Bach to you, and he hopes that you will continue to work hard and lead your men to fight in the majesty of a night commando! Oh, and also, take a long-term view, don't just look at the present like ordinary soldiers! ”

"Huh?" Lynn glanced at the document in his hand, and quickly took the telescope from Motchig's hand, it was small in size, lighter than the barge gun, and at first glance it looked like a collection artifact.

"Alright, one last thing!" Motchig snapped up, "Pick a group of soldiers for your Night Combat Task Force!" If you don't have a designated person, then our command will deploy it directly! ”

The first few things can be digested slowly, but this picks the soldiers...... Lynn was keenly aware that there was something to be done about this, so he asked, "As long as you are a soldier, can you choose?" ”

"As long as it is a unit in the city of Berlin, in principle, it is fine, after all, the colonel is now the commander of the city defense!" Motchig lowered his voice slightly when he said this, not at all the pride of being a subordinate and following his superiors, but like the caution of a man who became rich overnight for fear of being remembered by others. He then added:

"Based on the nature of our troops, it is advisable to pick on the SS internals. Belch...... In the fierce fighting in recent days, the commanders of many night assault teams have been killed or evacuated from the front line due to injuries, and the squad represented by ordinary non-commissioned officers is actually the best choice! ”

This last sentence was already an obvious hint, and Lynn hurriedly asked, "What about Sergeant Eric's assault team?" ”

Somewhat unexpectedly to Lynn's surprise, Motchig reached out and snapped his fingers: "Good pick!" Senior Sergeant Eric has been promoted to second lieutenant, but unfortunately he was injured again, and just last night, during the struggle, a brown bear-like Russian guy broke a few ribs, which will have to be taken to the hospital for a while. His original squad...... Well, that's just the time to get you out! ”

"Great!" As soon as Lynn said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he made a tongue sticking out movement that did not match his current identity - and felt that it was inappropriate, and said helplessly: "I mean that old comrades-in-arms get along better together!" ”

Motchig didn't seem to care, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's it! If all goes well, they'll be able to report back to you before dusk, and your new uniform will be delivered with you. ”

Seeing Motchigra open the door and prepare to get in the car and leave, Lynn hurriedly asked, "Sir!" One more thing...... Can you help me transfer a non-commissioned officer named Fein from the 'Nordic' division? ”

"Nordic Division?" Motchig turned his head to look at the defense area adjacent to the Army Library, "Aren't they over there?" You take this appointment order and go directly to their commander, and it will not be a problem to ask for one or two people in the name of the city defense command! ”

With that, Motchig quickly started the car, as if all his patience had been exhausted while waiting for Lynn.

Seeing the powerful Horch military vehicle roaring and turning away, Lynn's head was still a little confused, he walked to the army library building, while picking up the newspaper and appointment document in his hand, there were many words in it that were still unfamiliar and incomprehensible to him, but what could be confirmed was: he was in the newspaper, but when the end of the empire was approaching, how many people still had the heart to read the "Berlin Gazette"? I was promoted, I became the commander of the task force, all I could do was to try my best to resist the attack of the Soviet army, looking at the date in the newspaper, today is April 24, 1945, and it seems that there are only a few days left before the end of the empire. Ay? What is the rank of this contingent?

After pondering for half an afternoon, he called Brewer and Wolfrum to discuss it, and then he got a rough idea of what was going on. Towards dusk, a military truck brought in Lynn's "recruits" and basic supplies.

Standing at the door of the lobby of the Army Library, looking at the old faces mixed in with the new ones, Lynn really didn't know what to say except to call them by name.

"Alfred. Frings! Ralph. Brück! Gantt. Jonas! ”

In Eric's assault team, Lynn was still able to name these 3 soldiers, and after last night's night battle, there were only 8 soldiers left in the 15-person night battle assault team, so the command cobbled together 6 soldiers from other places, which gave Lynn's 11th night battle task force enough 20 fighters.

One by one, the old soldiers stepped forward to shake Lynn's hand, and the indescribable heaviness and bitterness were probably something that only they could experience.

Finally, the young non-commissioned officer who got out of the cab of the truck handed a square cardboard box to Lynn: "Sir, this is your new uniform!" Also, Captain Motchig asked me to tell you that the task force tonight is to destroy as many enemies as possible who have invaded the Eighth Sector and find a way to recapture the stockpiles from the enemy! ”

Lynn opened the box and looked at it, this non-commissioned officer uniform was brand new, and it must be handsome to wear, but if you wear it to the battlefield, it will become the priority prey of enemy snipers.

Setting aside the uniforms, Lynn stepped forward to count the war supplies the soldiers had unloaded. There are four boxes of ammunition for matching assault rifles and submachine guns, two boxes for grenades, one case of rockets for tank killers, and bags of bread, butter, and bacon. At a time when Berlin's supplies were deteriorating, it seemed that the city defense command had given the night task force extra care - they had enough to eat and drink before they could rush forward in high spirits against the enemy's guns!

Lynn wasn't the stunned kind.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he had to put aside the idea of going to the "Nordic" division defense area again to look for the "butcher", and when the truck left, he gathered 19 new and old subordinates. In terms of age, these are without exception the most energetic young adults, except for minor abrasions, each of them is in good physical condition; In terms of rank, three of them were junior non-commissioned officers, but only one of Jonas was a senior corporal - meaning that he had the most combat experience and experience, while only two of the remaining 16 soldiers had the title of "senior"; In terms of equipment, including Lynn and Brewer's night vision devices, the entire night combat task force has a total of 4 infrared suits, which is the same ratio as a standard night combat assault team, as well as 6 assault rifles, 4 submachine guns, 4 rifles and 1 "tank killer" bazooka.

Lynn also made a point of inquiry, and Jonas and Brück each carried a silencer pistol.

After a brief introduction to herself, Lynn asked everyone to dine on the spot. Considering the physical consumption of the intensity of the night battle, he did not limit the quota per person, but asked everyone to eat as much as possible and bring some food with him. At the same time, he called Jonas, Frings, Brück, Wolfrum, and Brewer aside to discuss the evening's battle as they munched on bread. The first three were partners who had fought together in Eric's squad earlier, Frings and Brück also had the same group of commando training, Wolfrum followed him in many battles, and Brewer was a very nimble guy, with these five as the right-hand men of the night battle task force, Lynn could command the troops more calmly, and more importantly, if you want to pull people away before the fall of the empire, you must have a few relatively reliable helpers.
