When the sun rose, the battle at position D9 was over.
Victory was once again firmly in the hands of the supplementary battalion under the leadership of Captain Ernst Brahm.
Wherever Ernst is there, there is victory. This has become the consensus of all the soldiers in the supplementary battalion.
About two hundred prisoners were captured and were being counted there one by one.
Guderian came over: "Captain, you have to come and take a look."
As Guderian came to another part of the position, Wang Weiyi was surprised to see more than a dozen seriously injured people dying. Among them, there was even a lieutenant colonel who had his arm blown off.
"Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, commander of the 43rd Battalion of the British 42nd East Reims Division. Are you the highest military officer here?" Seeing a German captain approaching, Lieutenant Colonel Rosen stood up despite being seriously injured. stand up.
"Hello, Colonel!" Wang Weiyi saluted: "I am the highest military officer here, Captain Ernst Brahm, commander of the supplementary battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment."
Ernst Brahm? Lieutenant Colonel Rosen took a breath of air: "Are you the 'Creator of the Miracle of the Somme' Captain Ernst Brahm?"
Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "As far as we know you call me the 'Devil of the Somme'..."
Lieutenant Colonel Rosen let out a long breath. He was defeated at the hands of the "Devil of the Somme". In fact, he didn't have too many regrets.
Wang Weiyi looked at Lieutenant Colonel Rosen's injury: "Lieutenant Colonel, your injury is serious and you need immediate treatment."
As he said this, he ordered the military doctor and the priest to be called up.
Military doctor Sergeant Sproul and Pastor Ackerson quickly came to the position to treat and pray for these seriously wounded soldiers.
Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, who had become a prisoner, was not depressed. The battle was over. Although he failed, the burden on him could be relieved.
Instead, he was hastily bandaged and chatted about the war with Captain Ernst for a while.
"Captain." At this time, Sergeant Sprow and Pastor Ackerson came over together. Sergeant Sprow's face was solemn: "Two of them are dead. The pastor prayed for them. Others are too seriously injured. We Lack of necessary medical conditions, if they cannot receive timely treatment, it may be difficult for them to continue to survive..."
"Poor people," Pastor Ackerson murmured, "They are still so young."
The battle is over. Now it doesn't matter what happens to the country. What the pastor is thinking about is all the lives that are about to be lost.
"Is there any other way?" Wang Weiyi said with a frown.
Sproul shook his head in embarrassment: "Our field hospital is really far away, and there is no time to send them back..."
"We have a field hospital, right at our position..." Lieutenant Colonel Rosen suddenly said: "Captain, I beg you, for the sake of God, send them back. They have been lost. combat capability and will no longer be Germany's enemy."
At this time, Second Lieutenant Hall also rushed to the position and happened to hear Lieutenant Colonel Rosen's words. He hurriedly pulled Wang Weiyi aside: "Captain, they are prisoners..."
"They are also wounded." Wang Weiyi answered his subordinates, and then walked back to Lieutenant Colonel Rosen: "Lieutenant Colonel, I accept your request. You can leave with these wounded, and I will also take the prisoners from prison. We will select a group of people to assist you in sending the seriously injured people back."
"Thank you, Captain, thank you!" Lieutenant Colonel Rosen never expected that the other party would agree so quickly, and there were even tears of excitement in his eyes.
At this time, the German artillery fire came down again, and that was the beginning of a new major counterattack by the German Second Army!
"Don't hesitate any longer, Lieutenant Colonel." Wang Weiyi no longer hesitated: "Our counterattack has begun, and I will personally escort you out of here."
"I am your adjutant, and I will accompany you." Guderian stood up firmly.
"And I... Hey, Captain, and I..." Several soldiers from the third company shouted out together. They all wanted to be by Captain Ernst's side.
Wang Weiyi smiled: "We are not going to fight. We don't need so many people. Guderian, you go with me."
"God will bless you, you are so brave and kind." Pastor Ackerson said excitedly.
The selected prisoners had already arrived, and Wang Weiyi and Lieutenant Colonel Rosen directed them to lift the seriously wounded.
The German counterattack has begun, and there is the sound of artillery and the shouts of soldiers everywhere. On several occasions, Lieutenant Colonel Rosen encountered German soldiers who raided here, and they almost became the victims of the Germans.
Fortunately, Captain Ernst is here.
When the German soldiers heard that the "Miracle Creator of the Somme" was personally escorting them, all of them had expressions of reverence on their faces, and they consciously and proactively gave way to the road.
"Our position is ahead." Lieutenant Colonel Rosen pointed to a place not far ahead: "Captain Ernst, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of British soldiers suddenly rushed out from all sides and surrounded Wang Weiyi and the others.
"Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, commander of the 43rd Battalion of the 42nd East Reims Division!" Lieutenant Colonel Rosen shouted hurriedly: "Send these our wounded to the hospital immediately!"
A sergeant quickly directed several soldiers to help send the wounded down, and then asked strangely: "Lieutenant colonel, who are these two Germans?"
"They are true gentlemen!" Lieutenant Colonel Rosen said solemnly: "I have never seen a more chivalrous gentleman than that captain."
The sergeant was a little surprised: "Who is he?"
"Ernst Brahm."
After finishing speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Rosen stopped caring about the stunned sergeant and came to Wang Weiyi: "Captain, please allow me to make another rude request. Can you wait here for twenty minutes?"
"Okay, as long as you don't take us prisoner." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
"No, the British would never do such a despicable, ungrateful thing." Lieutenant Colonel Rosen suddenly raised his voice, and then called the sergeant over: "Sergeant, I order you to protect Captain Ernst. "Everything he needs must be provided to him at the first opportunity. If Captain Ernst has any dissatisfaction, you will be severely punished."
"Yes." The sergeant looked at Wang Weiyi with an awe-inspiring expression.
Can you believe it? Now he actually stands with the "Devil of the Somme".
God, this is incredible, this is the real "Demon of the Somme".
