Chapter 29: Report
"General! Lieutenant Manfred is back."
General Garvitz immediately stopped his work, "Please come in Lieutenant Manfred."
Lieutenant Manfred von Richtofen came in as General Garvitz opened the door.
"Lieutenant Manfred, what did you see?"
"I saw the place in ruins, General" The first sentence of Lieutenant Richtofen made everyone's attention on him, as he solemnly said,
"When I got there, the battle was over. If I didn't make a mistake, the Welsh 19th Infantry Regiment was attacked and their losses were very heavy…"
This shocking sentence once again confirmed the thoughts of all people in the headquarters as it made everyone stop whatever they're doing to listen to the reconnaissance report.
Lieutenant Wernst Gustav! He really attacked the Welsh regiment! That good bastard did it again!
However, the following words of Lieutenant Richtofen made the staffs' blood boil...
"And then ... I saw a scene that excited me to this time... I saw a huge German flag on the position!"
....
At first, it was quiet.
Then, a huge cheer rang all throughout the staff…
That is the pride of Germany! That is the glory of Germany! In the heart of the enemy, behind enemy lines! The German flag is flying!
The calm General Carlos Eltripe von Garvitz could not help but get excited. Well done, Lieutenant Wernst Gustav! Well done!
Under the constant attack of the British and French coalition forces, the Germans appeared to be somewhat passive, if not, even forced to give up their positions to consolidate the battle lines. In this case, the lone hero Lieutenant Wernst Gustav created such a miracle! A miracle they desperately needed!
It is irrelevant to how he did it. What is important is that he has maintained the glory and pride of Germany!
When Heinrich Elena came in, she just heard Richtofen's words, and her fluttering eyes flashed a hint of tears. Why? She also didn't know why she react that way…
But Elena quickly stabilized her emotions as she came to the general: "General, the intelligence has just been confirmed, the Prince Soberk's battalion was attacked and their losses were heavy and will not be able to do battle in their current standing."
General Garvitz took a deep breath.
Indeed, both the Welsh regiment and the Prince's camp lay wrecked by the mad Lieutenant!
Elena continued, "But according to our intelligence, the Lieutenant's attack on the prince's battalion completely enraged the British High Command, who thinks this was of our plan and if the news of the defeat of the Welsh regiment is passed on, the British will surely spare no effort to surround the Lieutenant's position!
"Sir General!" Lieutenant Manfred von Richtofen raised his voice.
"As a German soldier, we do not allow our soldiers to fight alone. The situation of Lieutenant Wernst is already very dangerous. He is the pride of Germany! If he can defeat the Prince's Camp and the Welsh regiment alone, what reason do we have to stand by waiting for the attack? I know that the General must have his own ideas, and it cannot influence the entire strategic deployment. However, I hope that General will give me the command to my squadron to strike! I will not tarnish this God-given opportunity! In the name of the Lieutenant! Heil Wernst! Heil Germany! Everything for Germany!"
I follow the glorious pace of Lieutenant Wernst Gustav!
This completely ignited everyone's morale!
"Please keep your calm, Lieutenant Manfred ." Even though General Garvitz said this, but in fact, even he could not calm his own blood from boiling with these achievements!
He thought about it there: "Colonel Rolle, what is the situation of our reserve troops?"
"General, our troops have already completed their preparation and are awaiting the deployment orders, sir!" Colonel Rolle came to the map and pointed to a few points on the map: "Our artillery has completely covered these fronts, and the various departments have also completed their assembly. The conditions for launching counterattack is green sir."
General Garvitz picked up his hat on the table and wore it, all will showing a serious face. "Get me General Von Bello of the First Group Army! And before that, alert all troops to prepare for the counterattack!"
General Garvitz has made his decision.
Launch the counterattack in advance! If and only if General Von Bello is willing to cooperate.
Not just because of the Lieutenant, but even if General Garvitz appreciates the brave Lieutenant, he will not change the operational deployment because of one person.
He called Colonel Rolle to his side and whispered: "Colonel, the heroic achievements of Lieutenant Wernst Gustav, must be known to everyone in the Second Army!"
Colonel Rolle soon understood the meaning of the general, this is a great opportunity to greatly improve morale!
General Garvitz also thought so. What chance is better than this? When every soldier of the Second Army knew that a battalion and a regiment of British was destroyed in the hands of a German Lieutenant, it was hard to estimate how high their morale will soar!
The only question is, can Lieutenant Wernst Gustav hold on to the moment of counterattack?
General Garvitz is not very certain about this.
But no matter what, the miracles created by the Lieutenant will always remain in the history of the German army…
Heinrich Elena and Richtofen Lieutenant were acquaintances when they were kids, Lieutenant Richtofen whispered: "I heard that you have seen Lieutenant Wernst? What kind of person is he?"
Elena was silent for a moment and then replied, "A Lieutenant with a slick tongue."
Seeing Richtofen with a strange expression, Elena said again: "I never thought he would be so brave. No, he is the bravest person of all the people I know. Manfred, you said he will die?"
"No, no." Richtofen did not hesitate: "German pride will never die in British's hands!"
Elena nodded, she thought so too…
...
Württemberg mountain camp.
Erwin Rommel was one of the first few officers who knew that the British army's Prince Soberk battalion have been annihilated as he had several connections in the staff.
And at that moment, Rommel was stunned.... he was shocked.
Wernst Gustav! It was his friend Lieutenant Wernst who created this miracle!
God, this unimaginable victory, how the heck did he create this miracle? When Rommel knew that Lieutenant Wernst had fallen into a situation where he could not breakthrough, he was the first officer to ask for a proactive attack. If possible, he would even be willing to take this alone and rescue Lieutenant Wernst.
However, his request was rejected.
Wernst...Wernst... good friend, you have to stay alive my friend..., the counterattack will soon begin. A miracle is not so easily defeated by the enemy.
Just hold on... we're coming!
