3. —The Somme!
With a "boom", Wang Weiyi felt a violent shock again.
"The second crossing is completed...time, September 11, 1916...location, Somme..."
Xiaoling's words made Wang Weiyi feel a little confused. In September 1916, the Somme River? Did he cross the Somme Battle during the First World War?
In the middle of World War I, British and French troops attacked the German positions in the Somme region in northern France. The battle began on June 24, 1916 and ended in mid-November.
In this battle, more than 1.3 million casualties and 300,000 people were killed and killed in battle. This was the most tragic positional war in the first battle and the first time in human history that tanks were put into actual combat.
How did this damn purple light shuttle itself to the First World War, and it was still in the Somme? This way, the location seemed even further away from the days when I returned to my time.
However, the time and place of Ziguang traveling through time cannot be controlled by any control...
Xiaoling's subsequent words also confirmed Wang Weiyi's idea:
"Four days later, humans will use tanks in war for the first time, and in the subsequent battles, the British and French will successively break through the strategic points of B, C and F of the third line of defense of the German army. Your mission is to lead the 3rd Company of the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment to defend Point B..."
"What?" Wang Weiyi thought he had heard it wrong: "I will command a German company to conduct defensive operations?"
"Yes, your name is Ernst Bryme. Hess, the company commander of the 3rd Company, was seriously injured in the third attack launched by the British and French coalition forces on September 3, so the 16th Regiment appointed a new company commander for them, Ernst Bryme. This is his photo..."
A German officer with an oriental face appeared on the computer. If he hadn't been wearing a German uniform, at first glance, it would not look much different from an oriental.
Wang Weiyi was a little confused: "What if the real Ernst Blame appeared?"
"No, he will never appear. When you who do not belong to this era appear in this time and space, there must be a person from this era that will be replaced by you, otherwise it will cause chaos in time and space...Okay, your certificate has been made..."
Wang Weiyi picked up the ID, and he was suddenly surprised to find that he could actually understand the German characters.
"Before the second travel is about to be complete, through my operation, you have mastered German skillfully and in German with a Bavarian accent. From now on, you are a real German, and no one will doubt you. Oh, by the way, this is the weapon you use..."
A submachine gun installed at the upper part of the joint of the barrel and the gun body appeared in front of Wang Weiyi.
"This is the Bergman MP18 submachine gun that should have been released two years later. It will now become your weapon, and the corresponding ammunition is also ready for you... The military uniform tailored for you according to your figure is right in the cabinet behind you..."
It turns out that he can use weapons slightly ahead of the current era, Wang Weiyi murmured in his heart.
"Wang Weiyi, ah, no, Lieutenant Bryme, do you have any other problems?"
"Please call me Wang Weiyi. After I leave, where is the Tseng Guang Military Base?"
"The Tsinghua Military Base will automatically enable stealth devices, and the base will never interfere in this war, so now no matter what choice you make, it is your own business... Of course, if you run out of ammunition or need any necessary help, you can still come back here to get my help."
"The second question, what should I do after the Battle of Somme?"
"You will stay here until November 1, 1918. By that time, if you complete the task, you can return to the base. Unigroup will make a new journey. I hope we will have good luck that time."
Hell, have to stay here for more than two years?
"Wang Weiyi, do you have any other problems?"
"there is none left."
"Okay, now start installing the task tracker. Again, the base will not interfere directly in the war. The purpose of the tracker is to confirm that you have completed the prescribed tasks and convey the new tasks to you after you successfully hold the B position."
A long mechanical arm stretched out.
After a slight pain in Wang Weiyi's left arm, he knew that the mission tracker had been installed.
"Can I call for support?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked.
"I have a lot of questions about your IQ." Xiao Ling actually held a meeting and joked: "I have emphasized many times that the base will not directly interfere in the war."
"But I need support!" Wang Weiyi seemed very stubborn: "I can't guarantee that I can complete the task by strange troops and strange companions. Xiaoling, if I can't complete the task, we have to stay in this damn era."
Xiaoling was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, she obviously had compromised: "Okay, when you need support, you can call the tracker. I will send aircraft or tanks of this era from the military base to provide necessary reinforcements... But you have to remember that you can't make any excessive requests."
Wang Weiyi smiled with satisfaction.
When you know that your destiny can no longer be reversed, then you can adapt to this process with peace of mind.
Complete the task and then make a new journey, and one day you will return to your own era.
"Wang Weiyi, I told you that in this era, you are no different from any ordinary person. You will be injured, bleed, and even die. You must protect yourself."
A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Wang Weiyi's face: "Xiaoling, you care so much about me, are you falling in love with me?"
"I don't want to communicate too much with people who feel that I am too good. Please don't forget that I'm just a computer. I care about you because I'm afraid that if you die, I will have to stay alone in this era and never go back."
"I really want to see what you will look like after you become a human being." Wang Weiyi smiled and put on his military uniform, picked up his weapons and ammunition: "Okay, I'm ready."
The door of the base was slowly opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in, making Wang Weiyi's eyes unable to adapt.
"You can go, Ernst Bryme."
Wang Weiyi still couldn't adapt to the name, but the time he knew it was finally here. He glanced at the military base, then looked outside, and then walked out strode.
I'm here, the Somme; I'm here, 1916; I'm here, the First World War!
