The damn rain finally stopped, and the sun showed its long-lost head, though only temporarily.

The German officers and soldiers at the front were able to breathe a sigh of relief, and they did not have to worry about the enemy attack and at the same time have to deal with the trouble caused by the rain.

However, it is strange that the German top brass did not give the order to attack.

British planes began to appear in the sky, and as soon as the rain stopped, planes appeared, which felt a little unusual.

The British planes swept over the supplementary battalion, not paying any attention to the German troops below, which made the German soldiers lean out of their positions and look curiously at the enemy planes in the distance.

After a while, there seemed to be some bombing sound in the distance.

Where are the targets of the bombing by enemy aircraft?

While the German soldiers of the supplementary battalion were speculating, three British planes flew back again, but they looked a little embarrassed, and one of them was clearly wounded.

Then, a moment came for all Germans to cheer:

A big red German fighter plane appeared!

The Red Baron – Manfred von Richthofen!

The Red Baron's fighter plane bit the wounded British plane, and the tongue of fire sprayed out of the two machine guns frantically, and finally, the British plane burst into a brilliant fireball in the air.

Before the German soldiers on the ground could cheer, the Red Baron set his sights on another fighter. Soon, the British plane was once again one of the Red Baron's aerial trophies

At this time, the German positions finally erupted in cheers

The last of the remaining British planes fled in disarray, while the red baron's big red fighter plane began to fly low as if showing off, circled over the German positions a few times, and accepted the cheers from the ground before leaving arrogantly again.

The Red Baron - the representative of the pride of the German army!

And the "skeleton baron" Ernst Bram on the ground - Wang Weiyi smiled and watched this short but fierce air battle.

This arrogant Richthofen was so bold that he single-handedly pursued three enemy planes, and Wang Weiyi even wondered if he had gotten permission from his commander before taking off

The Red Baron was in the air, but the order to attack on the ground was delayed.

In the afternoon, a man suddenly came to the headquarters of the army group and demanded that Captain Ernst Brem report to the headquarters immediately without delay.

Even the command sent a car for him.

What emergency happened? Wang Weiyi didn't dare to have any slackness, and hurriedly jumped into the car

When he arrived at the headquarters, he was surprised to find that General von Bello and General von Galwitz had all arrived, and they all looked solemn.

"Ernst"

Before Wang Weiyi finished speaking, General Bellow had already interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, Captain Ernst, don't report anymore, come here." ”

Wang Weiyi stepped forward and walked a few steps, and General Galvetz, who was extremely solemn, pouted: "Colonel Rohr, tell Captain Ernst about the situation." ”

Colonel Rohr's voice trembled a little when he heard it: "Captain Ernst, just in the morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disappeared. ”

Wang Weiyi was taken aback: "His Royal Highness Crown Prince William August? ”

"Yes." Colonel Rohr nodded heavily: "After the rain stopped, at about 5 o'clock in the morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the headquarters with his guards, saying that he was going to the front line to inspect, but not long after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, the British planes were dispatched and dropped a few bombs on the path that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to pass, and the guards were blown up. Because it happened so suddenly, only Lieutenant Manfred von Richthofen's fighter plane took to the air in time for reinforcements, but when the British fighter plane was driven away, we found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was missing. ”

Wang Weiyi gasped, no wonder several British fighters suddenly appeared in the morning

At this time, there was a trace of doubt in his heart: "General, what are you looking for me for?" ”

"Do you know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leaving his headquarters?" General Bello helped Colonel Rohr to speak: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very interested when he heard that you had captured a regiment of the French army with only one assault squad, and decided to visit you for himself after the rain had stopped."

Look for yourself? Wang Weiyi couldn't laugh or cry. In this way, he and the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are inextricably linked.

"Ernst, the situation is very serious." General Belo said worriedly: "At present, this situation is still under absolute secrecy, but we don't know anything about where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went, whether he was alive or not, and if this news spreads, the morale of the army will be seriously shaken." It can even be said that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dies in battle, it will be for Germany, but if he falls into the hands of the enemy"

It would be terrible if August fell into the hands of the enemy and became a prisoner!

"Come here, Captain Ernst." General Belo called Wang Weiyi to the map: "According to our analysis, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was bombed by British planes in this area, and we immediately sent a large number of troops to search around it, but we did not find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all, and according to the guards who came back, the last time they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he retreated in this direction."

Monterby!

Wang Weiyi understood in an instant why the headquarters was in such a hurry to call him.

"Captain Ernst, do you see anything?"

"Yes, General." Wang Weiyi said loudly: "The closest to Monterby is my troops, and the general wants me to go all out to search for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the front line of Montby." ”

"Captain Ernst Bream." General Galvetz stepped forward: "Now I order you that the supplementary battalion is all put into the rescue plan for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and your position will be taken over by other troops." Whatever materials and personnel you need, you can report and transfer without any instructions, and officers below the rank of colonel must obey your dispatch before finding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. All the artillery and air forces will be at your service for this operation! ”

General Belo took over his words: "Captain Ernst, I think you know the importance of this operation, Monterby is too close to the enemy's position, I order you must find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bring him back safely as much as possible."

Wang Weiyi was taken aback. The best possible way to bring him back safely? So what is the subtext of the general?

"If necessary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be allowed to become a prisoner of the enemy." General Bello said this heavily.
