Eighteen. Iron Cross (Ask for recommendations!) )
The news that the 3rd Company of the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment had seized the British positions at the cost of one dead man quickly spread throughout the Somme.
This is nothing short of a miracle in the eyes of the Germans!
How exactly is this done?
The name of Lieutenant Ernst Bream also spread throughout the Somme region.
"Creator of the Somme Miracle". From now on, the name has already been recited:
Ernst Braham - "Creator of the miracle of the Somme!" ”
"Lieutenant Ernst Braeme!" Major Dunsevey, the commander of the supplementary battalion with a serious expression, looked at Lieutenant Ernst standing in front of him, and although he tried his best to maintain the seriousness of a German officer, he could not hide his joy:
"You and your 3rd Company have earned you a high reputation for the Replenishment Battalion and the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment for their outstanding performance in the G position, awarding you the Iron Cross of the 1st class!"
The Iron Cross was worn on Wang Weiyi's chest, and Wang Weiyi stood straight: "I will always remember this honor, and always be alert to the responsibility that this honor brings me!" All for Germany! ”
"All for Germany." Deng Xiwei suppressed his excitement, and then brought Wang Weiyi to the map with a serious expression: "Lieutenant Ernst, the capture of Position G is a miracle, but now we are facing the question of abandoning it or defending him." The enemy is on a frantic offensive and we are running low on our forces, so I can't give you more reinforcements. If you insist on defending, then I regret to inform you that your third company must defend two positions at the same time. ”
"I'm going to take on this challenge!" Wang Weiyi's answer was categorical: "Firmly controlling the G position in our hands will ensure the safety of the B position to the greatest extent, so I accept this challenge!" But I need a lot of ammunition and grenades. ”
"I'll do my best to satisfy you, Lieutenant. Germany is with you! "Major Dunsivie is glad to have such a brave subordinate.
"I am with Germany!" Wang Weiyi replied loudly.
In fact, do you have a half-dime relationship with Germany? When he left the camp headquarters, Wang Weiyi muttered in his heart. But what can I do, if I want to go home, I have to complete that damn mission!
Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Weiyi looked at the communication between Qi and Xiaoling: "Did I let you check Guo Yunfeng's information?" ”
"If there is a household registration system at this time, I will definitely be able to find out." Xiao Ling's voice sounded very dissatisfied: "Do you know how many people there are in China in this era?" Do you know how many people are in the Chinese Labor Brigade? Where do I go to find out the identity of a worker? However, according to the analysis, he does not pose any threat to you. ”
Wang Weiyi was a little helpless, he actually wanted to find out Guo Yunfeng's identity, and then find an opportunity to send him home.
If he wants to go home, then he must be thinking about his home, right?
"Little Spirit, get the tank ready." Wang Weiyi thought for a while and gave his first order to Xiao Ling: "I always feel that those three tanks will be used soon." ”
"Please name the authorizer."
"Wang Weiyi." Wang Weiyi felt that Xiao Ling was simply asking knowingly, but can you reason with a computer?
"The authorizer has the wrong name and refuses to accept it."
"Ernst Bram."
"The authorizer has the wrong name and refuses to accept it."
"Wanderer."
"Authorization passed, German Type 1B tank received the order, status: ready to attack."
"Okay, stay ready to strike."
Xiao Ling accepted this order and did not forget to tell Wang Weiyi: "The progress of the machine's self-transformation and upgrading is two percent." ”
Wang Weiyi always felt that there must be some kind of connection between the upgrade of the Ziguang military base and himself, but he still couldn't figure out the relationship.
Forget it, since you can't figure it out, forget about it for the time being
Wang Weiyi, who returned to the position, was most enthusiastically welcomed by the soldiers of the third company. "Hey, Ernst! Hey, the 3rd Company" cheers resounded throughout the position.
Lieutenant Ernst Braham was the first of the 3rd Company to be awarded the Iron Cross of the 1st Class, which was a great honor for the entire 3rd Company.
Wang Weiyi saw Hitler's envious eyes, and he told Hitler with a smile: "Sooner or later, you will be able to get it." ”
Half serious, half comforting. In his memory, Hitler was awarded the Iron Cross for his bravery during World War I, and it was two!
Of course, at that time Hitler was a herald at that time, and the Iron Cross was awarded to heralds on a regular basis, and every herald had it.
Why should the Iron Cross be awarded to the herald on a regular basis? Because when the enemy attack began, everyone could hide in bunkers to avoid bullets, but the heralds had to rush around to deliver orders under the rain of bullets, which was almost a deadly occupation, in recognition of the heralds' bravery and devotion to duty, the German command decided to regularly award the heralds the Iron Cross.
But now that Hitler is no longer a herald, will he still have a chance to receive the Iron Cross? Wang Weiyi is not particularly sure.
But Hitler, encouraged by Lieutenant Ernst, had a sparkle in his eyes.
Yes, sooner or later, I will surely be able to attain this great glory like Lieutenant Ernst.
At this time, the third company had to guard against two positions, forcing Wang Weiyi to make a decision to divide the troops. Compared to the newly captured G position, B position is much safer.
There must be brave people in front, and this task must be completed by Wang Weiyi himself.
Now there are fifty-eight people left in the third company, and Wang Weiyi left thirty people under the command of Sergeant Hall to defend position B, while he took the rest of the people, including Guo Yunfeng.
Although Sergeant Hall had some opinions about the lieutenant when he first met Wang Weiyi, he was a German officer with a very strong sense of honor and responsibility, and he firmly believed that the lieutenant should bring more people, but Wang Weiyi quickly refused:
"Sergeant, what we need is to use position G to delay the enemy's attack, so as to hold position B. So your responsibilities are just as heavy. Remember, once the enemy launches a counterattack, the offensive will be very strong, and you must always be vigilant. ”
"I see, Lieutenant."
"Fortunately, Major Dunsivier has added a heavy machine gun to us, otherwise it would be really difficult to hold on." Wang Weiyi is not a reckless person: "Brothers, the time has come for the third company to perform!" ”
"Hey, Third Company!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
(Brothers, you don't need to hide the recommendation tickets in your hand, take them all out!) )
