From the moment they landed, the Allied forces advanced rapidly and fiercely, capturing city after city.
The task force followed closely behind, searching for weapons abandoned by the German army. Most of what they found were heavy weapons; as for the weapons surrendered by German soldiers, those could be directly handed over to the Americans.
"Ping'an, how do you say 'repair' in German?"
Wang Huiqi, who was driving the jeep, kept asking Wu Ping'an—who was flipping through a German dictionary—about vocabulary. As members of the search team, they had a strict requirement: to memorize ten German words every day.

Before Wu Ping'an could find the page, Sun Yibang, who was manning the machine gun in the back seat, immediately answered.
"'Wartung'... It means repair, maintenance, upkeep."
He then rattled off several related phrases, leaving both Wang Huiqi and Wu Ping'an surprised.
