In less than twenty minutes, a large group of British officers came over, and the one at the forefront was a British major general.

"Captain Ernst, I am Major General Monrington, commander of the 42nd East Reims Division of the British Empire." The British major general came to Wang Weiyi, and his face was solemn.

"Mr. General, Captain Ernst Bream of the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th German Bavarian Infantry Regiment!"

When the name sounded again, those British generals couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, just like their reaction to things.

"The Demons of the Somme", they finally stood face to face with the demons of the Somme.

Major General Monrington, however, seemed to have never heard of the name: "Whatever your position may be, for your kindness and fearlessness, without your integrity and mercy, there will be many more broken families." Allow me, on behalf of all the officers and men of the 42nd East Reims Division of the British Empire, to express to you our sincerest thanks and gratitude. ”

After saying that, his hand was raised: "Captain Ernst Braim, integrity, fearlessness, mercy, when the war is over, you will be a friend of the British Empire!" ”

"Captain Ernst Braim, integrity, fearlessness, mercy." The officers of the 42nd East Lance Division spoke loudly in unison.

From this moment on, Ernst Bream, who had brought great trauma to the British, had gained the respect of the British.

The thinking of the officers of these European countries is completely different from that of Orientals like Wang Weiyi. On the battlefield they will fight to the death with red eyes, but once they meet outside the battlefield, they will even sit down and talk together over a cup of coffee or tea.

Wang Weiyi was instinctively driven to do such a thing, but he never thought about what kind of impact this incident would have on the future

The British have completely changed their view of the "Somme Demon", and they must admit that the other side will still be a very difficult and even hateful opponent on the battlefield, but at this moment, they have nothing but respect for him.

Major General Monrington even invited Wang Weiyi to his barracks for a while to taste the tea that had just been brought from London, but Wang Weiyi smiled and politely declined the request.

"In that case, I think we'll have to see each other again after the war is over." General Monrington said with a little regret: "Captain, I hope you will live to that moment." If you are unfortunate enough to be captured, be sure to tell the British that you are friends with the 42nd Eastern Reims Division. ”

"I will, General, but I don't want to be a prisoner." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "See you on the battlefield, general." ”

"See you on the battlefield." Monrington nodded solemnly: "The 42nd Eastern Reims Division will be the greatest honor to defeat and capture Captain Ernst Bream!" ”

This is the greatest way to respect a person you respect!

"I will also do my best to defeat your 42nd Eastern Lance Division." Wang Weiyi also said loudly: "See you again, general." ”

"See you soon, Captain."

The British officers and men of the 42nd East Reims Division looked at their respectable enemy and left their sight.

In fact, the British at this time could have forcibly detained Ernst Braim, or even killed him, but they would never have done so. Because of this, they were ridiculed and completely lost their reputation. Even the morale of the entire army may be weakened.

Guderian, who had always been by Wang Weiyi's side, was the most excited, and he never imagined that a German officer could gain so much respect from the enemy.

Only Baron Ernst Aleksen von Bram could have done this

The seizure of the D9 position set off a new wave of counterattacks by the German army. The counteroffensive that began on the 19th did not stop until the 20th, and the Germans once again stubbornly pushed the already compressed defenses forward another three kilometers.

This is an amazing achievement!

After the Battle of the Somme, the Allied armies suffered a lot of hardships and paid countless casualties before they captured some German positions. But the Germans fought back with only one counterattack, but they recaptured the position from the British.

Now a superstitious saying is spreading among the German army:

Only the presence of Captain Ernst Brem on the battlefield was a guarantee of German victory.

His outstanding performance in this counteroffensive made Wang Weiyi remove the word "acting" from his head, and he is now a veritable commander of the supplementary battalion. And it is already one step away from the most difficult to obtain the rank of major.

Encouraged by such victories, the German General Staff began to plan a new offensive to win the Battle of the Somme.

Both sides were exhausted and could not continue to build on their gains, but with the victory of the counteroffensive on 19 October, the German morale was reinvigorated.

The German army planned to put all of the First and Second Armies and one part of the Fifth Army, with Crown Prince William August as the honorary commander-in-chief and General von Bello as the commander-in-chief, to launch an all-out attack on the Allied positions centered on Balle.

In order to achieve victory in this autumn offensive, the Germans concentrated 19 infantry divisions, 1,182 artillery pieces, and 226 aircraft.

And Wang Weiyi's supplementary battalion is only a small part of it.

"The attack will not be successful." Xiao Ling was not optimistic about the German autumn offensive at all: "Soon it will be rainy, the roads will be muddy, and all the battles will become extremely difficult." After a short period of time, the offensive will be stopped, and then the Battle of the Somme will come to an end. ”

Such a result, Wang Weiyi is actually also aware of the Tao. But what can be done? He is just a small battalion commander, can he still influence the decision-making of the high command?

"Rambler, a new mission has arrived" Xiao Ling's words suddenly interrupted Wang Weiyi's train of thought: "The military base shows that you have a new mission. The second stage of the 'Soarer Mission', a new feat in the Battle of the Somme"

"Exactly?" Wang Weiyi asked absentmindedly.

"There are no specific instructions." Xiao Ling's words were also a little helpless: "It's just for you to get a new feat, but there is no new indication of how big this feat, and the strange thing is that the self-transformation and upgrading of the base has stopped for a while." ”

Wang Weiyi was too lazy to care about the Ziguang military base.

This mysterious and eccentric military base, although it has given itself a lot of help, has also caused a lot of trouble for itself.

God knows when the next time he will come up with a new problem, and then inexplicably let himself complete it.
