"In the last few hours I have seen the will and skill of the SS, and to be honest I should apologize for my past prejudices, you are all good...... See you soon! Friend! Please take care! ”

Wehrmacht sergeant, excellent anti-tank gunner and crappy rifle shooter Louis Brown. Helwig, standing at the head of the Bridge over the River Spree to say goodbye to Lynn. Although there are inexplicable similarities between the two, they belong to two combat units with very different surnames, and there is no real affiliation between them, not to mention that Helwig's intent on playing a role in the most suitable combat position for him, and continuing to stay in this SS combat squad will only bury his artillery talent.

"Goodbye, friend!"

Lynn stretched out her right hand, bent her elbow down, and the two of them clasped their hands together as if they were wrestling their wrists in the air, and their sympathy was overflowing.

Looking at Helvis's determination to step onto the bridge, Lynn was momentarily confused about her direction.

"Oh no, Marcos and Carl are still on the battlefield!"

Wolfrum's exclamation immediately caused Brewer, Noah, and several other soldiers to focus their eyes on Lynn. Some people say that commanders are like parents, who have the power to direct and deploy soldiers, and at the same time have the obligation to train and protect them. Lynn deeply agreed, although it was originally considered that the battle of ambushing Soviet tanks at close range was too difficult, so two young privates were allowed to take on the less difficult task of "free combat", even if the Soviets really got a searchlight, they did not have to risk shooting it out, but the battlefield is a dangerous place after all, and these two soldiers, who are not yet 18 years old, lack sufficient combat experience and psychological quality, and it is really not reassuring to stay on the battlefield alone.

In order to pull away the team at a critical moment, Lynn has been trying to create a positive image, and judging from the current situation, these efforts have achieved very obvious results, and naturally it cannot be allowed to collapse at this time. Then he swept his gaze with a resolute gaze over every soldier who followed him, including the two who had been temporarily brought to carry the wounded, and then spoke: "I have said that no comrade will be left behind at any time, Marcos and Karl are our comrades, our little brothers, who, though inexperienced, are full of loyalty to the Führer and to Germany, and are our proud companions!" Now, I'm going to go back to the battlefield to gather and bring them back, you can wait here, I just need volunteers! ”

Noah stepped forward almost without hesitation, much to Lynn's surprise. Immediately afterward, Wolfrum and Brewer strode forward. Seeing that the other soldiers were somewhat hesitant, Lynn decisively relieved them of their troubles: "Okay, three volunteers are enough!" Considering the current situation, the rest can either wait here or search for and return to their original units on their own. Either way, thank you very much for your contribution in the battle, and Germany is proud of you! ”

With that, Lynn stood on her legs and saluted them as she stood upright.

Every soldier saluted Lynn respectfully.

"Sir, I'm willing to stay here and wait for Sergeant Brück to come out after the operation!" It was the SS Second Private Frederick, a young man of only 19 years old, who had previously served as a loader for Noah. Because of the shock of the tragic battle, because of the fear of death, there was a look of horror in his eyes - after one battle after another, Lynn had gradually transformed from a panicked rookie of war to a veteran who read countless people, and all this happened in just a few months.

The soldier who was temporarily afraid of the battlefield was reluctant to do so, and Lynn solemnly said to him: "Please take care of Love, he is my classmate and my brother!" If there is any unfortunate news, please let me know! ”

The young soldier was full of respect: "Okay, I will do it!" ”

"Goodbye, everyone!" Saying this, Lynn resolutely turned around and walked across the bridge with desolate eyes. At this time, two engineers were inspecting the lines on both sides of the bridge deck, and at the other side of the bridge, an SS sergeant kindly admonished: "I may receive an order to blow up the bridge tonight, and if you don't want to swim across the river, you better hurry back as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing this, Lynn looked at the three soldiers behind him with some concern, but they all looked calm, and even Brewer pretended to have a fearless expression.

"Well done, brothers!" Lynn sighed in her heart.

Once the bridge was crossed, the tension of returning to the battlefield bent down on the originally straight waists of the four of them. Because charging the battery requires special equipment, and the previous replenishment of power was directly exchanged for "new" at the logistics quartermaster, so Lynn and Brewer are still carrying their own night combat equipment. Wolfrum held a gun in one hand and helped Noah carry a tin ammo box with only 2 rockets left. Noah alone held an 88-mm RPZB bazooka with an empty weight of almost 10 kg. By the time they reached the barricade, where there had not been a direct exchange of fire, there was gunfire and smoke.

It was unrealistic to rush straight out of the barricade in the face of bullets, and Lynn saw an SS lieutenant about his own age, resting in the ruins by the roadside with a group of grizzled soldiers, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, sir!" Can I ask you about the situation - have all the troops in front been withdrawn? ”

"Huh?" The second lieutenant, who seemed to have some problems with his hearing, motioned for Lynn to come closer and speak loudly, and when Lynn did so, he replied loudly, "Oh! These Russians have been outflanked from the north, and the troops fighting in the south may not have had time to withdraw! Personally, I think so! ”

"Good! Thank you! ”

Lynn thanked him loudly, and then walked back to the three of Wolfrum, intending to convey that they would be mentally prepared, and then detour directly from the flank block, but thinking of some more long-term problems, decided to use this opportunity to test their true character:

"Guys, listen up, the Soviet troops attacking our position in front of us were stolen from the north, and we were fighting in some areas to the south, which means that Marcos and the two Tiger II tanks were cut off. If we want to meet Marcos and them, we will have to take a big risk, and we may be unlucky enough to die. So, I want to hear your opinions at the end! ”

Three, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first to speak.

Lynn then called Wolfrum's name: "Gordon, you are the oldest, let's talk about it first!" ”

"I ......" The veteran hesitated for a moment and chose the most slick way of answering: "I resolutely obey your will!" ”

Lynn was noncommittal and turned to Noah.

Noah said confidently: "Although the contact time is not long, I think the two of them are too young to deal with the complex battlefield. As you said, we treat them as our own little brothers, so be sure to bring them back whenever possible! ”

Lynn nodded, and walked over to Brewer.

Further on, there is the real battlefield, and Brewer no longer hides his thoughts: "It is precisely because of the complex changes in the battlefield situation that I think it will be difficult for us to find Marcos and Carl on this trip, and they are likely to have retreated to safety with the other troops, in this case, we will risk it in vain to go out!" However, your judgment is always surprisingly accurate, sir, and no matter what choice you make in the end, I will follow it unconditionally! ”

After listening to the answers of the three of them separately, Lynn knew in his heart, he deliberately postponed for a moment, and then said calmly: "Everyone, there are some things that we can only have a clear conscience if we do them, and it doesn't matter what the result is. I'm Lynn. Gargo will never abandon any brother under any circumstances, Marcos and Carl are my brothers, and you are my brothers too! When you encounter trouble and danger, I will not stand idly by! ”

As he turned to walk towards the battlefield, Lynn saw admiration and trust in the eyes of three soldiers with very different surnames, hoping that this was a feeling that would be remembered in his heart—a feeling that could transcend the boundaries of war.
