Otto, though short, had been trained for a while as a loader, pushing the massive Russian off the chariot with all his might.

Otto looked around and found that the Russian tanks that had been surrounded were reversing rapidly.

Otto was surprised for a moment, and then remembered that the friendly warriors had already arrived to help, so the Russians began to retreat.

"Get out of the chariot!" Otto shouted, "When the enemy warrior can't retreat, she will give up on herself and use the beam weapon, get out of the chariot and go into the water!" ”

As he spoke, Otto had already climbed out of the chariot, and the retreating Russian chariot immediately began to fire at Otto with machine guns, and the whip of tracer bullets that swept towards Otto at great speed urged Otto to get out of the chariot.

The commander of the other tank was not so lucky, he was hit by a machine gun as soon as he climbed halfway out and slid straight into the turret.

The other members of the wingman were shrewd, crawled out of the hatch under the chariot and trotted with Otto into the creek, lying on his stomach in the water.

In March, the river water in Ukraine was cold and biting, and after instantly soaking the military uniform, all the armored soldiers lying in the water shivered involuntarily. Then the water shook, and it was clear that something was shaking at the water's edge.

Otto propped up his upper body slightly, just in time to see the Russian warrior queen retreating across the river. Shells kept catching up with the retreating Russian warriors, further suppressing their spirits. Soon, just as Otto had predicted, the Russian warrior who was mentally exhausted and knew that she was unable to complete the retreat chose to use a beam weapon to make herself faint faster.

The Tiger spread out along the river became the preferred target for beam weapons.

The bright light swept through Otto's field of vision, and then engulfed his car, and when the light disappeared, all the chariots huddled together, including his car, burst into flames, and in an instant a huge bonfire appeared in front of Otto, and just looking at the jumping flames, one felt that the cold of the river was not so unbearable.

Otto couldn't see the Russian magic armor that fired the beam, but it was expected that its driver must have been exhausted, and the armor probably had fallen to the ground due to the loss of power source.

At this time someone shouted: "Our armor is coming!" ”

Otto turned around and saw several units of German armor coming around the edge of the village.

Although it is the standard armor of the German army, the paint of the armor is not the gray paint that Otto is used to, the paint of the armor is far brighter than that of the German army's battle queen troops, and there is something like a bird's wings on the back.

Otto heard someone next to him muttering: "It's the Polish war queen!" I've never heard of a Polish warrior in our legion! ”

"Even if there were, it would not be surprising that we and Poland are allies." Otto replied as he stood up, deliberately raising his hands in order to prevent accidental injury.

So a mech that appeared to be the captain's plane turned slightly to Otto's side, firing as it leaned over to them. As he got closer, the melodious voice that Otto had heard on the radio came from the amplifier of the magic armor - but unfortunately Otto still couldn't understand the language of the voice, and for the first time, Otto was so eager to learn English, a language that he didn't think he had used at all.

At this time, another magic armor also rushed to the captain's fuselage, and then the magic armor asked in German with a Polish accent: "I heard that the supreme commander here is at the front, I want to ask if he is okay now, Mr. Major." ”

"Safe," Otto pointed to himself, "I am the Supreme Commander here." ”

The two magic armors were silent for a moment, presumably communicating with each other. Immediately after that, the hatch of the captain's plane opened, and a war queen with a appearance that matched her pleasant voice very well walked out of the magic guide armor and shook her braids, and then the interpreter also left the magic guide armor, but under the background of the captain of the battle queen, the interpreter lady who was originally a good qualification suddenly became a little bland.

This time, the other party didn't even speak English, but spoke Polish, and when she spoke, she kept looking into Otto's eyes, and her eyes were very sincere, so that Otto thought that this must be a gentle, well-behaved and sensible girl.

After Captain Zhan Ji finished speaking, the interpreter immediately translated: "We have been ordered to assist your troops in their defense, and we will act together with your troops until we receive new combat orders. Our maintenance and support units will arrive soon, and your unit will provide protection for these vulnerable companions and engineers. ”

"We'd love to do that, but until then, we need to count the casualties, save the vehicles that can still be salvaged, and capture the prisoners, and I hope you'll give us proper protection as we do that."

"This building is really amazing." After listening to the translator's words, the beautiful lady came to say this, which Otto estimated was a Polish word meaning "understand".

With that, Miss Senhime turned and walked towards her magic armor, and as she turned, her thick braids threw a shiny arc in the air.

Otto stared at the girl's braids, and asked the ghost, "What is your name?" ”

The girl glanced back at Otto, puzzled, and then the interpreter snickered on her face and translated Otto's words to the Miss Warrior Princess.

Then Miss Senhime smiled at Otto and whispered a string of syllables: "Veronica." ”

"Miss Veronica, you have come at a good time, and I must express my sincerest gratitude to you." Otto's words were utterly sincere.

"It's our duty, we get the order, and then carry it out, that's all." The smile on Veronica's face when she said her name had disappeared by this time, replaced by the calmness and calmness of a soldier - or rather, indifference, that Otto knew so well.

Otto watched as the braided warrior mounts the Wizard armor.

By this time the Russians had long since disappeared, Otto sneezed, and then gave the order: "Start counting the losses and gains of our army, treat the wounded, and at the same time ensure that the magic armor and enemy tanks that are now lying in this area will no longer move." ”

After saying that, Otto sneezed again, and then he realized that he should go and change his clothes first.

**

Ten minutes later, Otto came out in a new military uniform in the command trailer and saw the battalion staff officer waiting for him.

"Major, we and the Polish Zhan Ji troops destroyed a total of 25 Russian magic armors, captured 9 Zhan Ji, and the other 16 were confirmed to be killed in battle. We destroyed another 51 enemy tanks, and because most of the fire was concentrated on the battle queen, the results in the tank were not as good as in the morning, although the number of enemy tanks that came to attack us was much, much higher. ”

"Very well," Otto said to the side of the hatch of the command trailer, looking out at the fields covered with burning wreckage, "what about our losses?" ”

"The assault gun battalion was almost completely wiped out, and the honest-looking Mr. Battalion Commander was also killed. Now the sappers have found three assault guns that may be repaired, and are currently recruiting crews from the survivors of the assault gun battalion. We lost seven Tigers, which is half of the number we have. All of our anti-aircraft artillery vehicles have been wiped out, not a single one remains, and there is basically no possibility of repair. In addition, the infantry suffered casualties of varying degrees, and the infantry commander thought that it would be impossible to hold the village by relying on their strength alone. In the afternoon battle, we suffered a total of four hundred and eighty-five casualties, of which sixty-six were seriously wounded and had to be evacuated. ”

"Damn the Russians." Otto pouted, "Still, they still haven't been able to defeat us, still haven't!" ”

At this time, Otto suddenly heard the melodious sound of the violin, and he frowned slightly, he did not know who among his subordinates could play the violin.

Otto stepped out of the conductor's trailer and looked in the direction from which the violin sound came from, and saw the war-girl named Veronica standing on the wreckage of a burned-out assault gun, playing the violin with her eyes closed.

Otto looked at the girl's figure swaying gently to the melodious melody, and at her preoccupied pulling the strings, and couldn't move.

The melodious melody seemed to be slowly purifying the battlefield, and in the sound of the piano, it seemed that the burning and hideous flames became gentle, the rising smoke was no longer so distorted, and the stench of corpses everywhere on the battlefield was also blown away by the wind with the sound of the piano.

Veronica had been playing the violin as if there was nothing around her, facing the battlefield in the setting sun, waving her bow with her eyes closed, her thick braids swaying in the breeze.

"It's our chief's habit." The interpreter suddenly appeared beside Otto, "After every fierce battle, she would play the violin so obsessively, and it is said that she was going to enter the music school." I once asked her why she played the violin after the battle, 'Is it for the sake of the dead' or something, and guess how she answered in a nightmare? ”

"I guess she said it was so that she wouldn't become a machine that only knew how to kill." Otto wasn't actually guessing what Veronica said, he was just saying what he understood, and he was doing something similar, in the turret of his tank, in the small drawer used to store the clutter for the commanders, there were several hardcover books, and Otto forced himself to read a little bit every day, just to keep himself from becoming a monster who only knew how to kill.

The interpreter stared at Otto in surprise: "You...... Actually guessed? ”

"Really?" Otto was also surprised, "I'm just saying my personal feelings, not guessing what your boss said......"

"That's even worse, it means that you and my boss must have a lot of common language, don't you think about hooking up with her?"

"It's not a good time to fall in love." Otto shook his head.

By this time, the sunset had completely sunk below the horizon, and Veronica continued to play the tune.

Stars dominated the night sky, and the silver starlight shone on Veronica's braids, making it look as if her hair had suddenly turned blonde.

The girl bathed in the starlight, with her music and beautiful figure, reminded people that there are incomparably beautiful things outside of war.

Otto stared at the girl for a long time before turning to check the armament.
