As they approached the town where the division headquarters was located, the three of them saw the flag of Genghis Khan's division, an armored hunter, fluttering on the highest church bell tower in the town.

This flag, which Lin Youde personally awarded, was unfurled in the wind and was not affected by the artillery fire in the slightest.

When the trio's jeep drove up to the entrance of the town, a convoy of chariots was leaving the town. Hans stopped the car and waved to the chariot at the front: "Great, guys, we need reinforcements on our side!" ”

"I'm afraid I can't help you." The captain who poked his head out of the chariot turret pointed behind him, "I was ordered to launch a counterattack on the Russian troops who broke through the defensive line, if your troops are not the one that asked for reinforcements before, you will have to go to the town and see if the big daddy can give you some other reinforcements." ”

As he spoke, the chariot rumbled past the jeep parked on the side of the road, and the smoke and dust raised by the high-speed tracks smeared the faces of the three people in the jeep.

After about a company of twelve chariots had all been cleared, Hans started the jeep again and drove towards the town.

Before entering the town, they passed the position of an artillery battery, and the artillerymen, shirtless, kept filling the barrels with shells, and the rumbling sound of the cannons shook the ears of the three men.

"Hey!" James shouted to a non-commissioned officer on the side of the road who was checking something with a clipboard, "Where is the division headquarters?" ”

The non-commissioned officer looked up, glanced at them, looked back at the bell tower with the flag on it, and looked down at his clipboard again.

Hans drove along the road, and soon the building with the flag hanging appeared in front of him, a church that looked quite large, larger than the one that the three of his comrades were holding onto.

Hans parked his car outside the church, got out of the car and asked the soldiers guarding the church door: "We want to ask for reinforcements." ”

"Let's go in, go straight to the innermost chapel, and find Big Daddy." As he spoke, the guard stepped aside.

The church was busy, filled with the sound of staff officers shouting over the radio, and everyone who passed by the trio seemed to have something to do that burned their eyebrows. Every now and then, a staff officer would glance at Wolf's machine gun in surprise, but would immediately withdraw his gaze and refocus on his own business.

Hans led the two men inside until they entered the chapel.

The chairs in the chapel had been removed, and a map table made of the Holy Table was placed in the center of the chapel, in front of the altar.

The statue of Jesus Christ on the altar is covered with a NERV flag, and the table where the offerings are placed is a picture of Lin Youde.

"What's the matter?" The commander of Genghis Khan's division, Kali Woods, asked in a deep voice after glancing at the two people who entered the door.

"We're asking for reinforcements." Hans swallowed.

The division commander was a veteran of the civil war, born in the Red Guards, and the predecessor of this division broke through together, and after the war, he was personally received by Lin Youde with his subordinates, and then the unit was reorganized into a regiment of the National Volunteer Division, and was awarded the regimental name of Genghis Khan.

In the eyes of the soldiers of Genghis Khan's division, the division commander was simply a living legend, and the previous experience of participating in the Western Front campaign with the division commander strengthened their opinion. They call the division commander the big daddy.

"Ask for reinforcements." The big dad muttered, threw the pencil in his hand on the map, and turned to look at the three of them, "You are still the first people to come directly to me to ask for reinforcements." ”

"Because our radio was broken." Hans hurriedly explained, "That's why he couldn't help it, so he sent us to ......"

"Needless to say, it's the right thing to do. Do you see what's going on outside? The big father took a square step and walked in front of the three of them, "Our proud radio command system is not bad on the western front, but the situation suddenly changes on the eastern front. On the Western Front, we proceeded in a step-by-step manner, and although there was some confusion, my staff officers were able to handle it. And now, every unit that has a radio has encountered an unexpected situation, and they are desperately using the radio to call the division headquarters, and the air waves in the sky are chaotic, and my staff officers are all dazed. When this battle is over, I will definitely write a report detailing how bad our radio command system is in the face of unimaginably more complex situations. ”

The three people who came to ask for reinforcements looked at each other.

"Say," sighed the big daddy, "how bad is it?" ”

"The Russian army is everywhere, and you can't kill it when you run out of bullets." Wolf, who had not spoken, spoke first, "It's unbelievable that six of the three will pop up if you sweep them down." ”

"We prepared a second line of defense in the village, and after the positions on the outskirts of the village were broken through, we retreated into the village and relied on buildings to continue the battle, but many people failed to retreat to the village, and the second line of defense was not formed." Hans's report was much more formal than Wolf's report, which was more inclined to express his personal feelings: "The rest of the troops were fighting on their own, the battalion fire detachments ran out of ammunition, then blew up the heavy mortars, and formed a makeshift line of defense on the forest line on the west side of the village with small arms in their hands." ”

As Hans spoke, Daddy looked down at the map, and quickly wrote down the situation with a pencil.

"Very well, this is the clearest report I've ever gotten since the war began."

"There are too many of them." James saw that he was about to have no chance to speak, so he hurriedly said, "It seems that no matter how you fight, ......"

"I've already said that." Wolf cracked his mouth at James and smiled triumphantly.

James glared at him.

"Before the start of the war, to be precise, this morning, the army group command gave us a briefing on the situation that there might be three times our strength of the Russian army attacking the positions of our division, so this is not surprising." The eldest father tapped the map with a pencil and looked up at the three of them, "The army group headquarters has ordered the infantry battalion that has just unloaded to rush to our side, it seems to be a battalion of Armageddon's division. They carried a separate regiment of the reserve. ”

"What about the infantry of the Armageddon Division, who were supposed to fight with them?"

"Who knows where the railroad is sending them, maybe they're stuck in traffic." Big Daddy shrugged, "So as long as we hold on until the evening, we can get reinforcements." Although there is only one regiment of infantry, the infantry can provide us with strong support, and the Russian army did not invest in magic armor here, which must be our luck. Of course, if I were the commander of the other side, I would not invest in the magic guide armored force in the area with absolute superiority in troops, and I would use those girls in more important places. ”

"Daddy," interrupted Hans, "we can't wait until the evening to help my comrades, I want to get reinforcements now, and take them to the rescue of my comrades." ”

"That's what I thought too." Wolf chimed in.

"I have just sent out the armored company that has just arrived here to launch a counterattack, and the Russians have made a breakthrough about two kilometers east of here, and they have occupied the barn we have chosen as a support point. In this. Daddy made a cross on the map with a pencil, "If I don't take it back and let the Russians set up an artillery observation post here, not only will my division headquarters suffer, but the heavy artillery batteries deployed outside the town and the ammunition supplies piled up on the threshing floor will be ruined." ”

"It sounds reasonable." After Wolf finished speaking, he found that the two companions were listening to his father's explanation with a stern face, and hurriedly closed their mouths.

"And the division reserve was originally waiting on the anticline of this hill, half an hour ago I asked them to start advancing towards this village, judging from radio communications, this place has been taken by the Russians, we must plug this gap, otherwise the Russian army will continue to infiltrate our defense area."

As soon as Daddy finished speaking, an explosion was heard outside the church window.

Enemy shelling came.

"Well, the enemy's artillery observation post was set up really quickly." Daddy shook his head, the expression on his face didn't change at all, he looked at the three of them, "It seems that you guys are used to shelling." ”

"Of course, we're all veterans." Wolf shrugged, and he was the only one who could put on a smug face in front of his father.

But apparently the division commander didn't care about this, he nodded approvingly, and then continued: "All in all, I don't have any troops that I can send to you right away, and the propaganda materials often have the phrase 'put your guard company into battle', but in fact, my guard company is responsible for protecting the security of a large number of support detachments at the division headquarters, and the Russians have already penetrated the battle line, and they may appear near the division headquarters at any time. So, I can't send out my guard company. ”

"So you're not going to send reinforcements?"

"Listen to me, kid." The big father paused, and continued slowly, "I have an armored repair company here, which arrived with the armored company just now, but they don't have anything to repair now, understand?" The hull armor of the armored repair vehicles used to tow the broken down combat vehicles was the same as that of the infantry combat, and the hull machine guns were also installed. You take this back and take back the village. ”

"Yes!" At the same time as Hans responded, the first father stood up and saluted.

The other two immediately did the same.

The eldest father looked at the saluting three people, and then pointed to Hans who was standing in the middle and said: "You are the commander of this temporary force, the highest rank of the repair company is the technical sergeant major, I will promote you to the sergeant major, according to the command order, you are one level higher than the technical sergeant major." I'll have my herald come with you to find the repair company. Alright, let's go, boys. ”

Hans and the others saluted the division commander again, and as soon as they turned around, they heard the eldest father say: "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this at this time, however, we have just arrived at a batch of supplies, and there are some delicious canned food or something, go to the supply station and take some food casually, otherwise there may be no chance." ”
