Forty-four. Invitation from His Majesty the Emperor
The German counteroffensive began on September 21 and ended on September 22.
All the positions that had been voluntarily abandoned before were restored, and the front was stubbornly pushed forward by three kilometers. Although it was not much, it showed the determination of the Germans to defend the Somme!
Wang Weiyi's third company performed very well in this battle. Not only did they restore the B and G positions one after another, but they also assisted the friendly troops in restoring one position.
Adolf Hitler killed three of his enemies in this counteroffensive, which was a remarkable achievement.
But the 3rd Company felt nothing about these exploits, and the ecstasy of the whole company when they heard that Lieutenant Ernst Bram was alive and had performed so many miracles was difficult to express in words.
Especially after Lieutenant Ernst Bram returned to the company, the whole company almost went crazy.
The cheers of "Hey, Ernst" rang out throughout the company, and Adolf Hitler even burst into tears of emotion.
"Look, what am I talking about? Lieutenant Ernst Braham will not die, no one can kill Lieutenant Ernst. Hitler's mouth repeated the same words as his companions.
Looking at Hitler's appearance, Wang Weiyi's heart was a little moved, is this really the future head of the Reich in his memory?
Sergeant Hall was a little ashamed, and he came to Wang Weiyi to express his deep apologies. But what made him happy was that Wang Weiyi didn't seem to care about the things he did:
"Sergeant, you have done a very nice job. Obedience to orders is always what a soldier should do. If I were you, I think I would make the same choice. ”
Sergeant Hall quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, although he doesn't regret the decision he made now, he is still a little weak after all. Lieutenant Ernst Bream had too much prestige in the 3rd Company, and indeed in the entire 2nd Army, and in the entire German army. If one doesn't get it right, he may even become a public enemy.
Quite simply, it was enough for Lieutenant Ernst Bream to express his anger at himself
Wang Weiyi didn't say anything more to Hall, although what Hall did was not wrong, but the feeling of being abandoned was not so good, so he couldn't help but feel a little more estranged from Hall in his heart.
"This damn Jew." When Hall left, Hitler couldn't help but curse: "Lieutenant, you really shouldn't pay attention to such a person, just find an excuse to transfer him away." ”
Wang Weiyi smiled and avoided the question: "Adolf, I heard that you showed great bravery in this battle?" ”
Hearing the lieutenant's praise, Hitler straightened his chest and said proudly: "Yes, lieutenant, I have killed three enemies, not for anything, because I know that every time I kill one more enemy, I can relieve you of a pressure!" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled slightly, these words are really moving.
"Hey, Lieutenant, it's great you're back!" Boncree appeared in front of Wang Weiyi with excitement on his face: "To be honest, we all thought you were dead, but then I heard that you killed so many Britons, it's incredible." You have to tell me honestly, is this all true? ”
Wang Weiyi didn't answer directly, but pulled Guo Yunfeng, who was silent on the side, to his side: "I didn't do it alone, he also helped me a lot." ”
"Ah, our brave Chinese friends!" Before Buncrere could speak, Steck exclaimed, "From now on, you can get rid of the hateful labor status that the British have given you, and you will be one of us, yes, of the Third Company." ”
Guo Yunfeng didn't say a word, anyway, he couldn't understand what the Germans were saying, but he seemed to be praising himself there
In the next few days, the tide of battle calmed down, and no one had the strength to launch a large-scale offensive for the time being, and only sporadic battles were fought every day.
However, what is strange is that Wang Weiyi's commendation has never been issued.
Could it be that in such a short time we have forgotten the miracle of Lieutenant Ernst Bream?
Even if the Germans do not attach much importance to their awards, it is not always pleasant to be forgotten.
The previous skirmish attack by the British was repulsed, and the peaceful life was boring. When Wang Weiyi was looking ahead, Xiao Ling's voice sounded in his ears:
"Rambler, I showed here just now that the mission of holding the B position is complete."
Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, the task of sticking to position B was completed? Ah, by the way, it was true that the B position was lost, but it was quickly recaptured.
Maybe the task given by the base is to keep the B position firmly in its own hands before the deadline is reached, instead of caring what kind of way it is used, right?
Xiao Ling's words are not over yet:
"The completion rate of the base's self-transformation and upgrading is two, and the first phase of the 'Soarer Mission' is completed, and you will get new reinforcements, but what are the reinforcements, I don't seem to show it here"
Wang Weiyi's state of mind was already very calm at this time. What the hell is the "Soarer Mission", there is no need to bother to think about it, anyway, when you get to the end, you may know the way.
Reinforce? Reinforcements are a good thing, and it was with the reinforcements of those three tanks that he achieved the miracle of the Somme. It would be pretty good if there were more energetic reinforcements this time.
"Lieutenant Ernst Bream."
Major Deng Xiwei, who suddenly appeared in the position, interrupted Wang Weiyi's train of thought.
He quickly stood up, and at this time he noticed that there was also a major general standing next to Major Dunsiville. A general appears here, for what?
"This is General von Elz."
"Hello, General."
General Ertz nodded with a serious face: "Lieutenant Ernst Bream, on behalf of His Majesty the Holy German Emperor, I extend an invitation to you. Join us at a feast for His Royal Highness Prince Joachim at the Prussian Imperial Palace in Berlin next month. ”
What the? A feast under His Majesty the Emperor? Invite yourself? Wang Weiyi's head was a little foggy when he heard this.
Did you hear it wrong? The emperor sent an invitation to a little lieutenant who was not a nobleman?
"You can bring two companions." General Ertz's face was still as grim: "Major Dunsivi has prepared the transportation for you. Of course, you can also decline this invitation and will not be reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Refuse? A fool would refuse such an invitation!
