Chapter 9

“Max! Max! Wake up!” Andrew shouted over the shooting and shouting. Max was too shocked to say anything. “Herr… möge er in Frieden ruhen.” Max prayed silently for his friend, then he got up and went back to his position. “Retreat back to the second trenches!” Kyle ordered. Everyone quickly got out of the trench and ran to the other trench for their lives. As Andrew and Max were retreating, Hayden was shot by the back.

“No!” Max exclaimed as he tried to grab him, but Andrew grabbed him by the shoulder. “He’s gone! Just keep running!” Andrew shouted as he covered Max. As Max and Andrew kept running, they saw more and more dead bodies. “Since when in the bloody hell did they make a second trench?!” Max asked as he went inside the second trench.

“I think it was last night, the whole right trench had to dig all night.” Andrew replied as he got up and covered other troops. “Max! Andrew!” John said as he rushed to the duos “What?!” Max said while giving covers to the others. “Lieutenant Liu is.. dead!” He replied. That made Max stop and look at him. “No way.” Andrew said from behind. “Sergeant-Chief Kyle and Lance Corporal Jackson are in charge now.” John added.

“So what now?” Andrew asked. “I don’t know! Things are getting out of hand, some even tried to desert, I doubt we could even hold them off any longer.”John replied. “Paul! Where’s Paul?” Max asked as he looked around. “You mean the prisoner? He’s here in this trench.” John replied. “RÜCKZUG!” Their officer ordered. “CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIRE!” The whole trench shouted. “Oh come on, they could just have crushed us, why retreat?” Max said.

“No, listen.” Andrew said. The ground started to shake, harder and harder. “Hello American brothers!” “The Soviets!” John exclaimed. “YEAH! WOO-HOO!” The whole platoon celebrated, even Max. Sergeant-Chief Kyle got out of the trench and talked to their commander. He nodded as the rest of their company went inside the second trench, some in the first trench. They even had tanks, which was a surprise to Max. But most of all, they were saved.

“Belaya armiya i Chernyy baron snova gotovyatsya k tsarskomu prestolu. Ot Tiagi do Britanskogo morya. Krasnaya Armiya Sil'neye vsekh!” The Soviets troops sang that night. “So how did you guys end up here?” Andrew asked one that could speak english. “Well, we followed the Germans to a cave they went to, and here we are. Cheers.” He replied as he holded up a cup of wine.. Max, Andrew, and John both replied ‘Cheers’ and drank.

Max could finally not worry about being taken prisoner by the Krauts, but for now, he was safe.
