Rudolph invited Florence into the car, thinking about the spy war just now, and didn't take a good look at the maverick female reporter.

To be honest, Rudolph still admired her professionalism in going deep behind enemy lines. After the subjective perception changed, Florence is no longer a female spy with a knife in her smile, but more like a sonorous rose with a graceful demeanor on the battlefield. Graceful and elegant demeanor, delicate and pretty appearance, elegant manners, and decent conversation, Rudolph is like a spring breeze.

Florence was wrapped in a wide light blue military coat, a gray-green mountain hat, and a military heroism. However, the beige blazer and the pure white shirt collar under the coat still reveal the delicacy and delicacy of the owner of the clothes.

Rudolph had a good sense, but he didn't pay much attention to Florence's dress. What he remembered most at this time was the camera hanging from Florence's chest. Rudolph remembered his small camera again, and the days of toiling and anxiety that followed him all over the world made his spirit a little sluggish, and he always thought of something inadvertently these days.

He doesn't expect anything for himself in this era, he just wants to leave something behind. Rather than photographs, Rudolph thinks about Florence's camera, thinks about the past, thinks about the bits and pieces of his own experience, and suddenly feels that the history that he has never imagined, the past that exists in the future, is intertwined, producing a paradoxical illusion.

Rudolph looked at Florence's camera, which was still too bulky and out of step with her temperament, and perhaps he should have given her his own camera.

The car bumped and bumped on the gravel road for some time, and they came to the headquarters of the 41st Regiment.

Rudolph walked out of his thoughts, no one bothered him along the way, perhaps in the eyes of others, he was thinking deeply about the future of the army and the city.

Felix told Rudolph in detail about the current situation, and Rudolph basically knew about it. He still wanted to know more about the situation, which was also a little far from the front line, and the sound of gunfire could only be faintly heard, and then drowned out in the busy atmosphere around him.

"Take me to the front, I want to know everything about the troops."

Out of the rules, Felix did not open his mouth to refute, he expressed his attitude in silence. Rudolph's tone was unmistakable, "Yes. The regimental commander complied.

The group came to the defense area of the 1st Battalion in a majestic manner. Under the leadership of the three officers of the battalion headquarters, Rudolph, Felix, and more than 20 officers and soldiers from the division headquarters came to a position, as well as war correspondent Florens, who was very excited when she came to the battlefield, stopping and stopping all the way, and hurriedly operating the complex camera.

The choice of this position was also the result of careful consideration. This used to be the front line, but in the morning, the 1 battalion recaptured a few nearby streets, and the officers and soldiers here could rest.

In a company covered all the people. Now there are seventy-four people left, more than forty local volunteers, dressed in the blue uniforms of the reserve and wearing Polish flat caps. Dressed in their trousers and boots, they carried Mosin Nagant rifles, their faces tired and sad.

There were more than a dozen regular soldiers, and most of them stood guard at the street entrances. They were commanded by a lieutenant, but he was only a deputy company commander.

The company commander was an officer in his forties, who wore an outdated captain's uniform. To be exact, he was a retired soldier who served in the Wehrmacht. He was a Polish from Lemberg and spoke German. Perhaps out of duty to the motherland and hometown, he also joined this mobilized volunteer army.

Rudolph paid tribute to the officers and soldiers here in the less proficient Polish dialect. Everyone looked at him in amazement, and at first, everyone thought that their regimental commander was coming. It wasn't until Rudolph opened his mouth that they learned that the young man was their general.

Rudolph came prepared, he took off his rank and medals, replaced his military hat and coat. His approach was actually a bit dishonorable and detrimental to the honor of a soldier, but Rudolph still put his life as his first priority.

These conscripts had not yet learned the rules of the army, and when they met their commanders, they were so surprised that they forgot to salute. Only the venerable old captain saluted, and then the soldiers followed suit.

It can be seen that these officers and men are in high spirits. The old captain, who spoke fluent German, introduced himself to Rudolph as Stanislovs, who had served in the 35 Infantry Regiment in the past. Then the old soldier said many words of praise, and the words were full of reverence for Rudolph.

Rudolph came here to inspect the situation, so he asked: "Captain Stanislav, what do you think about the war?" ”

The captain was a little sad, "The war has changed a lot, and I can't get used to it. The soldiers used highly effective weapons and slaughtered each other brutally. ”

"Can you still hold on?"

"I think so. Our army has also changed a lot, this is a real Polish army, and we are willing to fight for our homeland. ”

Rudolf turned to Polish and said: "This is the Imperial Army, we are fighting for the Motherland and the people." ”

The captain turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Poles, fight to the end." Defend Lemberg, defend the country of our emperors. ”

The excited shouts of the soldiers were heard in my ears. The captain spoke too fast, Rudolph only heard the words Poland, Lemberg, and the emperor, and he asked Felix, and after getting the answer, he felt a little inconsistent, in his understanding, Lemberg was still a Ukrainian city.

Rudolph chatted with the soldiers again, and it could be seen that although they were tired, their morale was high, and Rudolph was relieved that as long as the troops did not collapse, the streets and alleys of the city would become a nightmare for the Russian army.

Violent gunfire rang out not far away, and the soldiers immediately returned to their posts. The reconnaissance post reported that the Russians had appeared nearby. Before they could report, the call from the battalion headquarters came first, and it was the battalion commander himself, who said that the Russian army had launched a large-scale offensive and had broken through the positions in front.

The commander here, Lieutenant Isco, told his battalion commander that the Russian army had arrived, and for safety reasons, please send troops to meet them immediately.

Rudolph took the phone and gave orders to his guards. Then the phone was given to Felix, and he had to ask for some more business.

The Russians were small in number, and they hid far behind the bunkers in the streets, cautiously moving forward. The guards and adjutant looked nervously out the window, directing the guards to prepare for the defense. Everyone else was calm, and the officers and soldiers were used to such battles. Rudolph and Felix were not afraid of danger, and if their defenses were to collapse at the slightest touch, then there would be no need to resist.
