"Haha.. We won by a big margin. I really didn't expect our company to be so strong in combat, and all of them are elites. ”

Harry was also quite excited when he came back, he felt that he hadn't fired many shots, and even emptied a lot of them.

After all, it's not easy to be accurate in the dark.

But the enemy fell quickly, which only shows that the teammates are very good.

"Well, I see it, you guys are amazing." Xia Ming nodded with a smile, he had already put away the bullet casings at this time.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Harry that he did it himself, and he wouldn't believe it.

"Well... See what I'm bringing?? Harry held two cans of meat in his hand and shook them at Xia Ming.

The battalion headquarters gave them a simple commendation for such a heroic performance, one canned meat per person, and hoped that they would continue to work hard tomorrow.

"Oh, that's good." Xia Ming hurriedly took a can and opened the lid very excitedly.

He had eaten this kind of canned food a few times on the train, and then he never had it again.

Every day, I ate bread and dry food, and I was about to vomit. Originally, as a citizen of the Celestial Empire, I was not very interested in bread, let alone today's coarse bread.

And the consumption of the round of shooting just now was quite large, and my stomach was already growling.

"Hmm.. There's the smell of gunsmoke here, you just shot?? Harry sat down and seemed to smell something, and asked unconsciously.

"Yes, a few shots." Xia Ming replied vaguely.

“... Did you hit something? ”

"I don't know."

Harry looked at Xia Ming with a smile, shook his head slightly, and ate it himself. Now that the battle is over, there's no need to dwell on anything.

Soon, a new round of artillery fire came from their ears, which made the two stop.

"The battalion headquarters has already reported the situation to the above just now, and it is estimated that it has attracted the attention of the defense area, and it may have found traces of the enemy again." Harry said with a frown as he listened to the sound of artillery fire coming from afar.

"Well..."Xia Ming carefully looked at the situation around him, at least there were no enemy troops near their defense area for the time being.

It's going to be a long night tonight...

**************************

In the early morning, a ray of warm sunlight shone on Xia Ming's body.

He was leaning on the side and snoring softly, and by the time he stayed up until 3 o'clock last night, he couldn't bear it anymore.

After a little confusion with Harry, he fell asleep.

Harry silently watched outside, and by this time there was already a squad of sappers going to clear the mines. Seeing that they are removing the barbed wire fence of the barrier, it is believed that a full-scale attack will be launched soon.

With a silent yawn, Harry closed his eyes. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left to rest, maybe he can sleep for an hour.

Two hours later, on July 23, at 8:18 a.m.

Xia Ming opened his eyes in a daze, and Harry's voice came from his ears.

"You finally woke up, you are so good, you can sleep so deeply." Harry patted him lightly on the cheek, revealing a rather admiring expression.

While sorting out the equipment, he continued: "The battalion headquarters ordered us to assemble immediately, and we must arrive by 8:30. You've been late once, you won't forget, right? ”

"Oh!" Xia Ming quickly reacted, and forcibly sat up as if he was mentally conditioned.

Of course, he didn't want to be late anymore and quickly packed up his gear.

Thankfully, he didn't have to wear clothes this time, and his gear had already been sorted out by Harry.

By the time the two arrived at the camp, most of them had already assembled, and they arrived almost in time.

Xia Ming hurriedly walked to Mueller's side and stood upright, waiting for the battalion commander, Major Lower, to give a lecture.

Major Lore was a middle-aged officer in his mid-40s, with an Iron Cross around his neck that stood out, and he looked like a rather formidable professional soldier.

Standing at the front of the team, he glanced at his watch again and said to the captains and company commanders beside him: "Okay, from now on, there will be more soldiers in the ranks for me to organize and let them be at the forefront of the team." Since I like to be late so much, I'll let them be the first to go to war. ”

Xia Ming unconsciously shrank his head when he heard Major Luoer's order, if he came 5 seconds late, it would really be a tragedy.

"All stand upright!!" With the voice of a commander, all the soldiers in the battalion straightened their backs.

Major Lore walked to the front with a resolute gaze.

The battle was imminent, and as the supreme commander of the assault battalion, he naturally had to issue a mobilization order to boost the morale of the troops.

"Everyone, just today!

The great armies of our empire are going to launch the fiercest attack on the enemy. Our 51st Army will cooperate with the 24th Panzer Corps to fully assault the enemy's southern positions.

As the independent assault battalion of the division headquarters, we are the sharpest knife!

Our most important responsibility is to work with the 77th Infantry Division to secure their flanks in conjunction with the Panzer Corps. Open the way for the 7th Engineer Battalion to protect the rear artillery regiment forward.

You are the bravest warriors of the Empire, and I am confident that you will succeed in your mission.

Even the last drop of blood will not allow the enemy to open a gap in us.

Can you do it??? ”

"Yes!!"

"Be louder, I can't hear you! Are they all TMD sissies? ”

"Can !!!"

Xia Ming didn't want to shout, but this time he was hoarse.

"Excellent! Now I command!"

Major Lore gave a standard military salute.

"All forward!!"

I have to admit that Major Lowe's mobilization order was very successful. He was the first to take the lead as a commander.

The respective company commanders led the team to leave the camp in great strides and quickly set off for the battlefield.

Germany was able to achieve a great advantage in the early stage of the Soviet-German war because of the large number of excellent commanders.

In contrast, almost most of the commanders of the Soviet army died in the Great Purge. In the past, the company commander had to go to the division headquarters, and the regiment commander had to go to the army headquarters, and it was normal for those who were beaten to lose their armor and abandon their armor. However, after the Battle of Moscow, the Soviet army has gradually recovered and is on the rise.

In less than an hour, the assault battalion had already advanced 3 kilometers. As the front of the 77th Infantry Division, they had joined up with the Panzer Corps in front.

A real big war is imminent.

"....." Xia Ming was the first time to observe the mechanized corps at close range, although it was still a little far away, but he could see it clearly.

The German No. 4 tanks were fully loaded with fuel tanks ready to attack. Each tank is accompanied by a squad or so of motorized infantry, and they are the elite of the armored division.

There are at least two hundred or more vehicles on visual inspection.

It is said that there is also an armored corps in the north to cooperate with the enemy legion, and it seems that this time it is indeed going to be a decisive battle.

Now his assault battalion is located on the flank of the Panzer Corps, in the front of the infantry division. In the rear there were engineer battalions, artillery regiments, as well as other main forces of the division.

In order to make the armored corps fully deployed, the infantry corps appeared to be crowded, and it can be said that the position was quite sad. As soon as the charge was launched, in addition to the armored corps that threatened greatly, his own battalion headquarters was the first to bear the brunt.

The Panzer Corps is most taboo to be attacked by enemy flanks, they are actually the meat shields that protect the Panzer Corps.

Compared to squatting in the bunker last night and putting a cold gun, now that he has really become a live target of the other party, I feel weak for a while when I think about it.

To say that you are not afraid is definitely to lie to yourself.

"Whew, God forbid. Let those World War II veterans with the aura of the protagonist and my soul possess... The bullets grazed and the shells couldn't hit me. Xia Ming took a deep breath. He had never believed in God, but he couldn't help but pray.

He was still a miserable single young man who didn't even have a girlfriend.

But if you want to go home, you first have to live...
