Reims Front
When Pipondu and Tinland heard that they were going to Reims to help the Germans complete their mission, they agreed without even thinking.
Without Xiao Ling's precise analysis, Wang Weiyi would not have believed these two people.
The day before departure, I received news that Erwin Rommel had received the order and would complete the rendezvous with Wang Weiyi at the German position on the Reims front.
Even people like Manstein and Guderian only knew that this trip to Reims was to complete a reconnaissance mission. When they set off, they still felt a little strange. How could Ernst Brahm's trump card be used in a reconnaissance mission?
In the minds of most German officers and soldiers, Ernst Brahm has become a real trump card!
Nineteen people set off, including the newly-entered Pipondu and Will Tinland.
Fighter planes flew overhead from time to time, including those of our own people and those of the enemy. A German fighter plane that always likes to fly at low altitude seems to be escorting them there.
This fighter plane is bright red!
Several times, Wang Weiyi also saw Manstein and Elina waving to the sky, although they also knew that Richthofen could not be seen from above...
The truck was so bumpy that several German soldiers who got on the truck for the first time became uncontrollably motion sick.
The soldier driving the truck looked very leisurely and was still whistling. Wang Weiyi looked at him. He looked like he was about twenty years old. His name is Orcus, and he comes from a small town next to Bonn.
"Hey, Okus, how did you learn to drive?" Wang Weiyi asked smoothly due to the boredom of the journey.
Seeing that the famous Baron Alexon actually took the initiative to talk to him, Orcus felt flattered: "Colonel, my company commander chose me. I have never played with this thing before. It took about a day to learn, and our When the Autumn Offensive began, I was transferred to the front..."
Wang Weiyi nodded: "Has there been any accident?"
"Ah, that's not the case." Orkus started chatting: "This job seems to have been prepared for me. That time the British started bombing, several trucks in front of me were blown over, and I was the only one to turn one truck over. The supplies were sent up..."
When he said this, Orcus couldn't restrain his pride.
\This person might be able to use it. Wang Weiyi thought in his heart and said: "Okus, this time we are going to the enemy to perform a mission. Are you willing to go with me?"
"Me? What can I do?" Orcus didn't quite understand.
"The French pay more attention to trucks than we do..." Wang Weiyi smiled: "When we go to the enemy, I will find a way to help you get a French truck, and then you will be ready to pick us up."
Orcus suddenly became excited and fought side by side with Baron Alexon? This was something I never dared to think about before. As soon as Wang Weiyi finished speaking, he immediately agreed repeatedly.
"Okus, don't be so hasty to agree." Wang Weiyi decided to let him know the dangers of this mission: "We might not be able to leave alive if we go."
"Hey, Major." Orkus was a little anxious: "You can't underestimate me like this. I'm also a German soldier. I drive a truck all day long. God knows when I will be awarded the Iron Cross. If I wait until the end of the war, I will get nothing. , that will be laughed at by my companions."
"Welcome to join, Orcus." Wang Weiyi accepted his request with a smile.
After a bumpy journey, we finally arrived at the German position in Reims. When getting off the truck, Steck, who was always brave, looked pale and pointed at the truck: "Major, I swear I will never ride in this thing again."
"That's not up to you." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
They were greeted by a German colonel. Although Wang Weiyi had a lower military rank than him, he still expressed special respect for Wang Weiyi: "Major Ernst, I am Colonel Thomas. I have received direct orders from the headquarters. I We will give you all the support and provide you with all the supplies you need."
"Thank you, Colonel."
"This is Second Lieutenant Ma Li. He will also join your operation and be specifically responsible for bringing you to the vicinity of the French army's position in Reims. He is also proficient in French."
Proficient in French? Wang Weiyi is also "proficient", but only with the help of Xiao Ling...
"Second Lieutenant, thank you for your assistance."
"Major Ernst, I am proud to fight with you."
"Hey, Ernst!"
While they were exchanging pleasantries, a voice interrupted their conversation.
Look along there: it's Erwin Rommel!
"Erwin!" When he met Rommel, Wang Weiyi discovered that Rommel still had the rank of lieutenant. Even if he performed so well in Romania, he would not be promoted.
To be honest, although Rommel performed very well during the First World War and made many military exploits, he did not do well. Even the blue Marx Medal that he should have received long ago was inexplicably awarded by his superiors. It was awarded to someone else due to a misunderstanding.
It was not until the end of the world war that Rommel was reluctantly promoted to captain.
All this willingness is actually very simple, because of Rommel's civilian status.
It is precisely because of this that the title of "Baron" that Wang Weiyi received was very helpful to his career.
Rommel's eyes fell on Wang Weiyi's military uniform, where he saw a medal:
Blue Marx Medal!
Rommel's eyes shone.
This is the highest medal a German soldier can receive, and it is what every German military officer dreams of. Rommel, who had been fighting in Romania, had only vaguely heard about what happened to Wang Weiyi before, and did not know the whole situation. He never thought that Ernst Brahm would become the blue Marx Medal so early!
"Erwin." "Hey, Erwin, long time no see!" "Lieutenant, are you okay?"
While he was envious there, his thoughts were interrupted by the greetings of Erina, Manstein, and Hitler.
"I'm fine, fine!" Rommel stopped his thoughts and greeted them enthusiastically: "I didn't expect that we are actually fighting side by side here."
Hitler seemed the most enthusiastic: "Lieutenant, did you know? It was Major Ernst who specially requested to transfer you here. It's great to fight with you."
Wang Weiyi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Erwin, I heard that you were going back to get married, but I dragged you to the front line."
Rommel couldn't help but smile and said: "I should thank you. Fighting bloody battles on the battlefield is the best destination for soldiers."
