Major William seemed a little impatient, and he had some grievances and contradictions with the adjutant on weekdays, so he reprimanded loudly:

"Just listen to me! Where did all this nonsense come from? ”

The adjutant took a step back aggrievedly: "Yes...... Battalion commander, I'll just shut up. ”

Major William's anger gradually extinguished, and he said softly:

"Adjutant, I was in a bad mood just now, so I said loudly, please don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, what you've taught me is that I won't talk nonsense in the future."

"Hmph, I apologize, but your expression is still not very convincing, adjutant, do you look down on me, a newly graduated officer, think that I am still a child who has not grown up, and think that I am not worthy of commanding you as a veteran?"

The adjutant didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.

Major William sighed: "Okay, let me explain it to you,

The enemy's tactics of artillery fighting artillery should have been eliminated a long time ago, and the use of artillery shells to hit targets at long distances and loose formations is too inefficient, and it is simply a waste of time and ammunition.

Based on the most cutting-edge military theories I have learned, modern artillery should concentrate its firepower on dense infantry columns to achieve the best killing efficiency.

I know you veterans look down on us recent graduates, but these theories were told to us by our Commander-in-Chief, Prince Leopold Schumacher, who is the world's leading artillery expert today. ”

The adjutant lowered his head embarrassedly: "I learned, it's me who is a shallow learner, sir." ”

At this time, several medics and nurses stumbled up the high ground, and the medic who took the lead saw the rank of major on William's shoulder and walked straight towards him.

"Mr. Major, we have just seen this position being shelled by the Columns...... halfway through, the military doctor suddenly exclaimed: "Oops! Mr. Major, I didn't notice that you were injured too, lie down quickly, and I'll take a look at the wound. ”

William shook his head at the other man, then stretched out his arm and pointed to the other side of the hilltop:

"I'm not in the way of this injury, I'll just bandage it myself later, military doctor, look at the direction of my finger, there is a shell exploding on the position on the other side of the high ground, you go over and save people, I have to continue to command the battle."

After about ten minutes, the military doctors and nurses returned with several stretchers.

Major William commanded in a loud voice: "Orderlies! Quickly set up a tent to use as a makeshift operating room, it was difficult to carry the wounded down at such a time. ”

The face of the military doctor at the head looked a little ugly, he walked up to William, took off his military hat and said:

"Thank you for your care, Mr. Major, but there is no need for surgery, for there are no wounded to treat, and there are no living people on that field...... We had to make several trips back and forth to get the body back. ”

William's heart sank:

"What? The officers and men of the No. 3 forward position ...... They...... All dead? ”

"Yes, sir, and not only men, but also mules and pack horses did not survive, even the artillery was blown up, presumably the enemy took good care of that position."

Seeing that the other party was choked up and speechless, the military doctor continued:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Colonel, I know what it's like to lose a comrade...... That's uncomfortable. Later, we will put the bodies in body bags and drag them back to the makeshift morgue at the ambulance station, where you can see the remains of our comrades after the battle. ”

William watched the medics work without saying a word, and his heart was very uncomfortable, and he saw a familiar face among the dead, and his heart chuckled.

"This ...... Isn't this Sister Beth Draghivo of the Engineer Corps? ”

He still remembers that before leaving, the lady was still listening to him tell jokes in the cafeteria.

What a lively and lovely girl she had been, always like to babble endlessly, like a bird, but now the mouth remained horribly silent, and its cold lips were the color of dead ash.

Sister Bess stared at the sky with dark brown eyes, blood and mud tangled her long black hair, and a triangular shard of metal pierced her slender neck, presumably the cause of death.

William kept staring into her eyes until the medic sealed the body bag and dragged the body away.

The adjutant took off his hat and said with a sad face, "Oh...... Bass! What a lovely girl, what a pity. ”

"You know her?" William asked.

"Of course I know, she is my daughter's best friend, every summer, the two of them always live in my country villa for vacation, and then the two of them signed up for the army together, because they studied civil engineering and were assigned to the engineering army."

"Is your daughter okay?" William asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, my Lucy is doing well."

The adjutant drew a cross on his chest and said, "My precious daughter was hospitalized with a broken leg during a training session and was not able to go with the army.

I don't know what to do...... Should I feel sorry for her or be happy...... Oh, damn it! I'll have to tell her about Beth's death! I hate delivering bad news the most! ”

The adjutant looked at Sister Bes's body bag, saluted her with a standard military salute, and then said to Major William:

"You know, this kid didn't have to stay in the position to fight, but she insisted on helping our artillery battalion, and she quarreled with her commander about it.

I asked her why, and she suddenly became shy, what was it...... Want to fight with the boy you love...... The boy was very popular and didn't want to deal with her at all.

Ay! What an infatuated silly girl who gave her life for nothing for a fucking bastard cream! The kind of man who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade is not worth loving at all! You're sir. ”

The adjutant muttered and returned to the gun position to command, leaving the battalion commander alone to stand still.

Major William Einfurt's heart was filled with deep remorse, for he was the bastard cream boy whom the adjutant had scolded.

(Like my father, I'm a single-minded person, and with Edgar, I don't want to be in an affair with any other girl, even if it's superficial.)

So I never took Sister Bes's confession seriously, only her enthusiasm as wishful thinking, and she was willing to go to war for me...... And I threw her love letters and gifts in the trash...... I'm sorry...... ）

The shouts of the observers pulled him back to the harsh reality of the world:

"Battalion commander, look at the fortress! The dragon is spewing light green smoke! ”

William snatched the binoculars and took a look, the inside of the fortress was already covered in a thick green fog, and he was already extremely worried about Edgar's situation, and his heart was even more in his throat at this moment;

(Old man!) Edgar and Big Brother Victor are still inside! They're going to be fine, right? May the god of luck bless them! ）

He was a godless man, but now he was praying frantically, because he could do nothing but that.

After another quarter of an hour, a scout brought the latest news;

"The fog is poisonous, because the soldiers who inhale the fog have varying degrees of discomfort, especially the symptoms of the eyes and ears, nose and throat are particularly serious, and the friendly troops on the walls of the fortress have escaped, and those who stay inside are unlucky."

"What? Could it be that damn green smoke is a new weapon for the enemy? The adjutant asked.

The scout replied, "Well...... It's not clear, but judging from the enemy's reaction, they are also frightened by this poisonous mist, and the losses are much greater than ours, and King Solan** has begun to withdraw from the range where the poisonous fog spreads.

William fidgeted even more, and began to wander frequently in the battle, and finally, he could not hold back any longer, and shouted:

"Adjutant! You will be in charge of commanding the artillery battalion and continue to bombard the enemy's infantry division, I have to go to the fortress in an emergency!" ”

The adjutant anxiously shouted: "Battalion commander, there is a poisonous fog in the fortress!" I can't go! When he finished, he found that the battalion commander William had run down the high ground like a gust of wind.

"Damn! William...... This bastard is so irresponsible, just threw the entire artillery battalion to me! The son of the Marquis's family is amazing, isn't he? I'm going to report him to the Military Discipline Commission! Send him to a court-martial! ”

At this time, the orderly, who was usually good with William, came up and said to the adjutant and said:

"You dissipate your anger, I know what's going on, our battalion commander's girlfriend, Princess Edgar, is fighting in the fortress, no wonder he is in a hurry like this, this kind of thing is the same for everyone!"

"I see...... was actually taken by His Majesty the Emperor's daughter, William is so fucking lucky! ”

The adjutant just scolded and complained, but in his heart he thought: (Old, I hope these young people can come back safely, they are all good children!) ）
