University of Nandamuri - Seven Minutes to Midnight

A small, moss-colored military jeep was speeding towards Lisdart. The driver was a lieutenant colonel. Sitting next to him was a major. In the back seat of the car, an MP38 machine pistol was slung across his lap, singing, and looking to one side. Was the sergeant ever a sergeant?

The three were intelligence officers from the 1st British Commando Brigade, but they were dressed in German army uniforms. They had army rank insignia on their uniforms. In their pockets were documents listing their army ranks and names.

Liszt is just a small town on the banks of the Lippe River.

However, Lisdart, which is just a small town, is a crucial area in the current military situation during the Great War.

Even though it was still two hours before dusk, the bright colors of the bullets could be seen streaking across the southwestern sky. The sound of bombs and artillery was thundering. The German commander, Model Army Group No. B, was fighting fiercely, trying to avoid being crushed by the American forces that were encircling the Ruhr area.

Therefore, the colors emerging from the anti-aircraft guns and long-range artillery were shining brightly in the southwestern sky.

In the back seat of the car, tall, short, and tall, Sergeant Pu La, who was humming a song from a war movie, asked Major Jack in the front seat.

"How much more do you need, Major?"

All three of them speak German as well as German men.

So, Phula asked in German: "Only five miles to go."

Without looking at the map or the dial showing the miles traveled, Major Jack looked straight ahead and replied...

"If you don't run red lights, you'll be there in ten to fifteen minutes."

"I'm afraid I'll encounter the Yanks' long-distance intelligence." "Yes, that's what I'm worried about."

Yankee is a shortened form of the slang term for Americans, Yankees.

The British 1st Commando Brigade crossed the Rhine at Wiesel on March 23, and Major General Chet and two of his men accompanied their unit.

Now the three of them are dressed in German army uniforms and operating in a German military jeep, about a hundred miles from the Swiss border, inside Germany.

Helen, a British female spy who was secretly reporting in Lisdrecht, is to be recalled from Germany. To blow up a large German ammunition depot in Lisdrecht.

Major General Chet was assigned to carry out these two tasks.

So they mistakenly advanced on their target, the small town of Liszt. Liszt was only a few miles behind the German lines. Even then, American long-range reconnaissance troops would often reach such places.

All three of them already understood this. All three of them could barely speak German. Wearing German army uniforms and insignia, they were not afraid of facing the German troops. However, if they met the American troops who were conducting long-distance reconnaissance... the thought made the three of them anxious.

The three of them, who arrived in a German military vehicle and dressed in German uniforms, were surely going to be shot down by American intelligence agents.

So Sergeant Phula, who was riding in the back of the jeep, stopped singing and expressed his concern.

In any case, it is Major Jack's responsibility to approach and achieve both objectives.

British female spy Helen arrived in the small town of Lisdart in January, mixing with others as a war refugee.

People on the street where Helen lives know her as Gawastin.

Helen was able to send war news from the Ruha battlefield to British intelligence.

British intelligence also received information that Helen had already learned the exact location of German General Model's rear ammunition depot.

It would also be difficult for the RAF to attack the Model rear ammunition storage facility from the air.

Red Cross symbols were prominently painted on the roofs of buildings that the Germans might have mistaken for storage units.

The British military authorities, not wanting to harm the civilian population of Sinme, had prohibited air strikes on non-military areas.

Helen also became suspicious of German intelligence and was constantly being watched, and she was informed that she could no longer stay where she was.

Therefore, it is most important to find Helen. If we don't find Helen, we won't be able to continue with the second objective.

Therefore, led by Major Jack, they marched to fulfill two missions.

After crossing the Rhine with the brigade, Jack set off on a long journey towards the city of Münster. All they needed was a German army vehicle. Not only would they be unable to travel on foot, they were also afraid that German intelligence would distrust them.

Along the way to Münster, we occasionally saw German military vehicles parked in rows. But the number of vehicles and the number of soldiers were too many. Jack had no chance.

Jack and his team, who had been marching since midnight, arrived at dawn and saw a good thing. An army jeep had broken down and was parked on the road.

The driver was busy with the jeep's hood open, his head bowed, and his companion was sitting on the footrest of the jeep, smoking a cigarette. Major Jack watched the situation for about five minutes. There were no other soldiers resting nearby, just a jeep and two German soldiers.

After ordering Sergeant Pula to get some water to shoot in case of emergency, Major Jack assigned Lieutenant Mike to eliminate the Germans from the platform.

He bowed his head and looked at the busy driver... In just 60 seconds, the task was completed. With a wire with a wooden handle on either side, the stomach squeezed the German limpet from the pedals and wiped it out...

Major Jack stabbed the bent German driver in the back with a German military dagger.

Standing just an inch short of six feet, Sergeant Mike was as strong as a buffalo calf at the age of 23.

His mother was German, so she spoke German. Mike managed to strangle him to death by speaking German from the footrest of the jeep.

Mike's mother was beaten to death by Hitler's Brownshirts in Munich. So Mike was not afraid of Hitler's soldiers.

Mike is a corporal who is also skilled in explosives. Sergeant Pu La, who understands mechanics, quickly fixes the broken jeep.

By the time the light from the east began to shine, the three of them had already driven the jeep and were advancing.

Those who had left Mantaw to the south turned and headed east.

After driving about 40 miles, we arrived at the town of Gättersloh. Gättersloh was located about halfway along the main road between the Ruhr and Hanover, and was a town where German troops were busy.

The soldiers were mostly from the German regular army, but some SS men from Hitler's bodyguards were also present.

The road was hit by a bomb last night, causing damage and delays due to debris and broken cars.

The road south, especially to Lisdart, is currently blocked by broken down cars.

Although the military had not issued travel orders, Major Jack was not worried. The three of them were stranded in the Gutter Slough, with no one to fight or fight, and there was no way for them to communicate with each other. By noon on March 30, Major Jack and his team were able to continue their journey south to Lissett.

For Jack and his friends, the only benefit of being stranded in the gutter was that they were able to steal gas cans from other military trucks.

At 5pm on March 30, Jack and his team were approaching the outskirts of Lisdart.
