Chapter 160 Sublimation

"In the past few hours, I have seen the SS's will and skills. To be honest, I should say sorry for my past prejudices. You are all good... Goodbye! Friends! Please take good care of yourself!"

German Wehrmacht Sergeant, an excellent anti-tank gunner and a crappy rifle shooter, Louis Helvesch, stood at the bridgehead of the Spree River Bridge and said goodbye to Lynn. Although there are unexplainable similarities between the two, they belong to two combat troops of completely different natures and do not have a real affiliation with each other. Moreover, Helvesch is determined to play a role in the combat position that suits him best. Staying in this SS combat squad will only bury his artillery talent.

"Goodbye, friend!"

Lin En stretched out his right hand and bent his elbow down. The two of them held their hands together like they were wrestling in the air, and their sympathy for each other was beyond words.

Looking at Helvich's determination to resolutely walk onto the bridge, Lynn was confused about his direction for a moment.

"Oh no, Marcos and Carl are still on the battlefield!"

Wolfrum's exclamation immediately made Brewer, Noah and several other soldiers focus their attention on Lynn. Some people say that the commander is like his parents, with the power to command and allocate soldiers, and also shoulder the obligation to cultivate and protect them. Lynn deeply agrees with this. Although it was because the battle of ambushing Soviet tanks at the close range was too difficult, the two young soldiers took on the task of "free combat" with less difficulty. Even if the Soviet army really got a searchlight, they did not have to take the risk of shooting it out, but the battlefield was in danger after all. These two soldiers who were under 18 years old lacked sufficient combat experience and psychological qualities, so it was really unreliable to stay on the battlefield alone.

In order to pull the team away at critical moments, Lynn has been working hard to create a positive image. Judging from the current situation, these efforts have achieved very obvious results, so naturally they cannot collapse at this time. So he swept over every soldier who followed him with a decisive look, including the two who temporarily brought the wounded, and then said, "I said that no companion will be left behind at any time. Marcos and Carl are our comrades and our little brothers. Although they lack experience, they are full of loyalty to the head of state and Germany, and they are our proud partners! Now, I will return to the battlefield to summon them and bring them back. You can wait here, I only need volunteers!"

Noah stepped forward almost without hesitation, which surprised Lynn somewhat. Then, Wolfrum and Brewer stepped forward. Seeing that the other soldiers were hesitant, Lynn decisively relieved their worries: "Okay, three volunteers are enough! Considering the current situation, the rest can wait here or find and return to the original troops themselves. In any case, I am very grateful for everyone's contribution in the battle. Germany is proud of you!"

Say it, Lynn raised his legs together and saluted them while standing attentively.

Every soldier respectfully saluted Lynn.

"Sir, I am willing to stay here and wait for Sergeant Bruc to complete the operation!" The speaker was Frederick, the second SS soldier who had previously served as the loader for Noah, a young man who was only 19 years old. Because of his shock at the fierce battle and his awe of death, his eyes showed a look of fear. After one battle after another, Lynn had gradually transformed from a panicked war rookie into a veteran who had seen countless people, and all this happened in just a few months.

The soldiers who were temporarily afraid of the battlefield were reluctant to let them go. Lin Neng said to him solemnly: "Please take good care of Luo Fu for me. He is my classmate and comrade-in-arms, and even my brother! If there is any unfortunate news, please let me know!"

The young soldier was full of respect: "Okay, I will definitely do it!"

"Goodbye, everyone!" After saying this, Lin En turned around resolutely and walked across the bridge with desolation. At this time, two engineers were checking the routes on both sides of the bridge deck. At the other side, a SS sergeant warned kindly: "We may receive an order to bomb the bridge tonight. If you don't want to swim across the river, it's best to rush back as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Lynn looked at the three soldiers behind him with some concern, but they all looked calm, and even Brewer pretended to be fearless.

"Good example, brothers!" Lin En sighed in his heart.

Once they crossed the bridge, the tension of returning to the battlefield bent down the four of them. Because charging the battery requires special equipment, the previous replenishment of power was directly exchanged for the old for the "new" at the logistics and military supplies, so Lynn and Brewer were still carrying their own night battle equipment. Wolflum held a gun in one hand and helped Noah carry the iron ammunition box with only two rockets left. Noah was holding an 88mm rpzb anti-tank bazooka with an empty weight of nearly 10 kilograms. When they arrived at the barricade where there had not been a direct fire exchange, gunfire was already everywhere and gunfire was constantly coming.

It is unrealistic to rush out of the barricade in the rain of bullets. Lynn saw a SS lieutenant who was about the same age as him. He took a group of dusty soldiers to rest in the ruins next to the road, so he stepped forward and asked: "Hello, sir! Can you ask you about the situation - have the troops in front retreated?"

"Ah?" The second lieutenant seemed to have some problems with his hearing. He signaled Lin Neng to get closer and speak loudly. After Lin Neng did as he did, he replied loudly: "Oh! These Russians were surrounded from the north, and the troops fighting in the south might not have time to retreat! I personally think so!"

"Okay! Thank you!"

Lynn said thank you loudly, then walked back to the other three of Wolfrum, and wanted to convey the original intention to make them mentally prepared, and then take a detour from the flanking block, but thought of some longer-term problems, so he decided to use this opportunity to test their true character:

"People, listen, the Soviet troops who attacked our position were fenced from the north, and we were fighting in a south-facing area, which means that Marcos and the others had the two Tiger III tanks that were cut off from the retreat. To support Marcos and the others, we have to take a lot of risks, and we may even be killed if we are unlucky. So, I want to hear your opinions in the end!"

The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one was willing to be the first to speak.

Lynn then called Wolflum's name: "Godor, you have the oldest experience, let's talk about it first!"

"I..." The veteran hesitated for a moment and chose the most sleek answer: "I firmly obey your will!"

Lynn refused to comment and turned to Noah.

Noah said with confidence: "Although the contact has not been long, I think they are too young to deal with complex battlefields. As you said, we think they are our own little brothers, so whenever possible, we must pick them up!"

Lynn nodded and moved to Brewer.

Going further forward is the real battlefield, and Brewer no longer hides his thoughts: "It is precisely because of the complex changes in the battlefield situation that I think it is difficult for us to find Marcos and Carl on this trip, and they may have retreated to safety with other troops. In this way, we will take a risk out in vain! However, your judgment is always unexpectedly accurate. No matter what choice you make in the end, I will follow you unconditionally!"

After listening to the three people's answers, Lynn knew it. He deliberately delayed it for a moment, and then said frankly: "Everyone, we can only have a clear conscience when we do some things, but the result is not important. I, Lynn Galgo, will not abandon any brother under any circumstances. Marcos and Carl are my brothers, and you are also my brothers! One day when you encounter trouble and danger, I will never stand by and watch!"

When he turned around and walked to the battlefield, Lin En clearly saw admiration and trust in the eyes of three soldiers with different personalities. He hoped that this was a feeling of remembering it in his heart - a feeling of being able to transcend the boundaries of war.
