Somme, German Line, Position B, 3rd Company.

September 11, 1916.

Wang Weiyi, Lieutenant Ernst Bream, has officially taken over the third company.

In this war, which had no to do with justice or injustice, the German soldiers did show their excellent qualities. The 3rd Company had been reduced to sixty-one men in the previous battles, and if you count the newcomers Lieutenant Bram and Adolf Hitler, there were only sixty-three.

But this did not affect their high morale in the slightest.

In a short period of time, Wang Weiyi became familiar with most of the people in the Third Company.

Sergeant Hall, who was his assistant; Boncrere, the famous sharpshooter of the company; Steck, if you compare strength, no one in the three companies can compare with him; Sean, Beverly, and Ekin were the main and auxiliary marksmen and ammunition men of the MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun

Wang Weiyi can see the indomitable enthusiasm of these German soldiers wearing pointed hats in their eyes.

"Lieutenant, the enemy may launch a large-scale attack in the next two days." Sergeant Hall did not greet any of them, and quickly briefed the new lieutenant Brem: "We have just been resupplied with ammunition, but we are seriously understaffed, and I am afraid that we will not have enough troops to defend in the event of an attack. ”

"This is not what a German officer should say." Wang Weiyi interrupted him with a serious expression: "Sergeant, your words like this will shake the morale of the army before the war." ”

"Yes, Lieutenant, but I must report back to you on the current dire situation." Sergeant Hall was a stubborn man, but he still held his word: "I think it is necessary to ask Major Dunsiwell for reinforcements, at least to make up for our losses first." ”

"Sergeant, no reinforcements." Wang Weiyi's expression was still so serious: "Only ourselves, the cowardly, can leave my company." ”

Sergeant Hall seemed to be greatly insulted, and his face turned red: "You can't insult me like that, Lieutenant, I am willing to sacrifice my life for my country, but not blindly. ”

"If I am wrong, I will apologize to you." Wang Weiyi was a little dissatisfied with Sergeant Dohor in his heart, but he still restrained his emotions: "But before the battle, I don't want to hear anything like that again." ”

After speaking, he gathered the soldiers of the whole company together: "Soldiers, today is my first day on duty, and many of you are not familiar with me. I, Ernst Brem, Lieutenant Company Commander of the 3rd Company. Starting today, I will lead you in the fight together. If I die at the hands of the enemy, then Sergeant Hall will take over the command"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, was the lieutenant ready to die in battle?

"At least that's what I think, a soldier who doesn't want to die is not a qualified soldier." Wang Weiyi's words were very firm: "At the same time, as your commander, I must tell you frankly that the battalion commander Deng Xiwei has told me very clearly that we cannot get new additions, that is, from now on there are only sixty-three people in the third company."

His gaze swept over the soldiers one by one:

"The enemy will soon attack, and from now on, each of us will burst out with more than several times our own strength. The cowardly, will not be able to stay in my company. Soldiers, let us pluck up our courage and fight for our country, all for Germany! ”

"All for Germany!" The soldiers' answers were neat and loud.

"Let those Brits die bare-ass in front of us!" Steck suddenly came up with this sentence.

With a "boom", the soldiers laughed, and then said in unison: "Let those British guys die in front of us with their bare butts!" ”

Wang Weiyi also laughed, who said that Germans have no sense of humor?

This was an official meeting between Wang Weiyi and the soldiers of the Third Company, and he also expressed his attitude to everyone:

What is needed in the triple company are the bravest people!

Not for anything else, because he wants to go home!

The first thing I want to do when I get home is to complete my mission here.

And the soldiers of the Third Company will never know this

Adolf Hitler was perhaps the most excited of the soldiers, and when the soldiers began to actively prepare for war, Hitler came to Wang Weiyi's side and became very curious about the gun on Wang Weiyi's back:

"Lieutenant, what kind of weapon is this? What have I never seen? ”

"The Bergman MP18 submachine gun, our newly developed weapon, has not yet been officially equipped with troops." Wang Weiyi said perfunctorily: "I am lucky to be the first to test this weapon." ”

Hitler suddenly realized: "Lieutenant, where are you from?" ”

"Regensburg." Wang Weiyi didn't know why he would say such a place name.

"Regensburg, a beautiful city on the Danube." Hitler said enviously: "I have been there, the cathedral in the city towers, and the churches are surrounded by all kinds of brick-red houses, which is simply the most beautiful landscape painting, and I once painted a picture against this background."

The third-rate painter Hitler? Such an idea suddenly popped into Wang Weiyi's mind.

"I grew up in Braunau on the Rhine on the Bavarian border, in the small town of Braunau on the Rhine, in a small inn called Bomer." Hitler didn't notice what Wang Weiyi was thinking: "I did a lot of work, but the last one came to the army, and I really can't imagine what I could do when the war was over." ”

"The war will not end," Wang Weiyi said in his words.

Hitler did not understand the meaning of Wang Weiyi's words: "Don't you think that Germany will eventually win?" ”

Wang Weiyi was silent and did not answer this question directly: "Adolf, whether Germany can win this war is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that even if you leave the army, you will be able to have extraordinary and great achievements in the future!" ”

Hitler couldn't believe what he was hearing, and no one had ever spoken so highly of him. His face flushed with excitement.

"Trust me, Adolf!" Wang Weiyi said very seriously: "You will succeed, and your achievements will surpass the vast majority of people." But now, all you need to care about is how to fight and protect yourself in battle. ”

"Lieutenant, thank you, I will always remember your words, you don't know what you said, no one has ever said such things to me. All for Germany! ”

"All for Germany!"
