On June 30, near the military demarcation line between the Kazarlian First Front Army and the Southern Army Group of Prosen, at 0100 hours.
The Prosen nighttime reconnaissance team quietly crossed the demarcation line of the two forces' controlled zones.
Such nightly reconnaissance had also become a norm recently, with the same goal as the daytime reconnaissance, to confirm the positions and details of the Antean defense lines.
However, the Anteans also sent out their own nighttime patrols, and in the process of matching wits and bravery, prisoners were often captured on both sides, so these night reconnaissances were also nicknamed "prisoner exchange" among the Prosen soldiers, except it wasn't about exchanging their own people back from the enemy, but using their own to exchange for the enemy.
Tonight's reconnaissance team was led by Lieutenant Hank, a veteran of reconnaissance, who had just been awarded a Second Class Iron Cross for capturing prisoners.
