Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 265: Tongdeng meat grinder (4)

Just as the Powell car team was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, the SS armed guard squadron had arrived less than five kilometers away from the crossfire area.

The full name of this force should be "German SS Armed Guard Brigade affiliated to the diplomatic mission of the Republic of China by the Great German Empire". Even the translation into Chinese is so confusing. If it is changed to German, it is even more endless. Reading it in one breath can kill one or two shortness of breath, so the members of the German mission referred to it as the "Armed Guard Brigade". After arriving in China, it was simplified again by the local media and newspapers to the "Armed Police Brigade"... This reporter seemed to have a close mind with the German head of state.

The members of the Armed Guard Group have always referred to their own unit as the Tomahawk Group, because the group logo determined when this unit was formed is a Viking Tomahawk and SS Lightning, and Himmler is inside the SS The name given to them is the SS 801st Stormtrooper, but most people are not too cold about the name that is not enough for the second.

The commander of the squadron is Hans von Ludwig's SS first-level commando squadron, but because it is incorporated into the armed forces, the rank is determined to be a lieutenant colonel of a considerable level. At this time, the SS commander was sitting in the sd.kfz.250/3 radio command and communication vehicle at the brigade headquarters, looking worriedly at the map in his hand.

"Sergeant Powell reported that they had been on fire with the other party. He was already certain that this was a premeditated ambush against us. Their armored vehicle engine malfunctioned and requested the brigade to rush to support. He sees There is probably one platoon of enemy troops, and maybe there are more behind. Sergeant Powell is fighting alone, sir." The communications staff handed his earphones and reported loudly.

"I hope they can hold on until we arrive. The convoy is already marching at full speed. It's really hard to understand why the Japanese attacked the German army." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig put down the map and raised his hand. Eyebrow.

"Sir, I have a guess."

The deputy captain and intelligence staff Major Smith, who was crammed in the corner of the carriage, suddenly said that the major had been working for the Imperial Security Bureau before joining the team. He has been reluctant to say more about the specific position. From the personal file, he even graduated from the Berlin Army University. He is indeed a rare talent in the SS, allegedly because of some defects in his personal personality. After only one year in the army, he was ordered to be discharged from the army by his superiors. So far, the major has been a little bit brooding about that period of history.

"Tell me your opinion, Byrne." Ludwig asked.

After working together for a period of time, Ludwig has a deep understanding of Smith's reasoning ability, and he has trusted in the judgment of this deputy in the past.

"What we should think about now is. Why did the Japanese appear in that place. Highway 4 is clearly in French Indochina." Smith pointedly pointed out the core of the incident.

"They crossed the border. Although they don't know the exact location, they obviously crossed the border." Ludwig's eyes lit up, and he slammed his palm with his fist.

"Not only this, but also fully armed. This is not a border crossing. This is a premeditated invasion. The map shows that the next city on Highway 4 is Tongdengcheng, an important transportation hub on the border, where China and An important exit channel on the border of French Indochina. If you control this city, you can cut off Highway 4, which is the traffic artery of the city on the northern border. Obviously, just like they did three years ago, Japan The army is playing with fire again. Let's imagine when a group of robbers was seen by a lone passer-by during the robbery..."

"They thought Powell's car crew was acting alone, and these Japanese wanted to eliminate witnesses."

"My reasoning still needs more intelligence support, but from the information I have at hand, this is the most logical answer." After finishing talking, Smith pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The lens reflected a cold light.

"Afterwards, they could find 10,000 reasons to deny this incident. We can't produce valid evidence at all. Of course, the premise is that Chief Powell was indeed only dispatched alone."

"I have read information about the Japanese army. This group of lunatics often do this. But I didn’t expect them to be bold enough to attack the German army. This is a blatant offense to the Third Reich. The SS is close to the head of state. Guards. Attacking the SS is a challenge to the authority of the empire. We must let these people know the cost of doing so. Our duty is to defend the great head of state and fight to maintain the sacred honor of the head of state." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig issued a declaration of war with righteousness.

"To convey the news to all companies and platoons, I want every soldier to know about this. Tell the soldiers that just now, the dignity of the head of state and the Third Reich has been trampled. The shameless Japanese tried to cover themselves The war crimes against the passing German army were even attacked. This is an undoubted act of war. As the glorious German SS, we must resolutely fight back. In order to maintain the honor of the great head of state, the great first The honor of the Three Reichs, the honor of the great German people, including the honor of our SS, I order every soldier in the brigade to go all out in battle. There is no fear, no mercy, our honor is loyalty!" Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig gave instructions to the communications staff with a serious expression.

The communications staff quickly adjusted the frequency, connected the walkie-talkies of each company, and relayed the full text of Captain Ludwig to the company platoon leaders in the brigade, and ordered them to use the walkie-talkie to reach each squad. Let all soldiers know.

The news spread to every corner of the convoy along with the radio waves, and the whole convoy was boiling over.

"No fear! No mercy! Our honor is loyalty!"

"Speed ​​up! Our comrades are fighting alone!"

"Everyone is ready for battle!"

"Remember that the head of state is watching us!"

"Hi! Reinhardt!"

"Hi! Reinhardt!"

The response from commanders at all levels came over the radio. Eventually, the entire convoy members shouted the slogan Long live the head of state in unison. The guard brigade was so strong at this moment that it was about to knock off the troop. The roof of the truck.

"Kill the **** Japanese! Kill them all!"

"I will screw off the heads of those Japanese monkeys by myself!"

"My bayonet is already hungry and thirsty!"

The soldiers shouted loudly, desperately showing their desire for war to the officers.

Almost half of the members of this brigade are young SS members. These young people are fanatical and simple in thinking, and have incomparable worship and loyalty to the Third Reich and the head of state. After strict training, they will become a qualified soldier with firm belief. They give everything they have to the country and the head of state. Once they accept orders from their superiors, they will be more fearless and determined than ordinary army soldiers. Unless they fall on the way to attack, there is no force to stop them. They move forward.

The other group are veterans who have served in the National Defense Forces. Due to various personal reasons, they could not return to the military. Many of these people have undergone special professional training, and almost all are generalists on the battlefield. Many people have mastered more than one professional skill. These veterans have served in the army for a long time and spent many years in society. They have been honed in life and are not so easy to stir up emotions, but they have one thing in common, that is, they have self-esteem that surpasses ordinary people. , The SS gave them another opportunity to put on military uniforms and walk on the battlefield to show themselves. Everyone cherishes everything they have now. Any act that violates this collective is an inexcusable crime in their eyes and hurts them. A comrade in arms, the other party must pay a hundred lives to repay it.

In order to hurry, the convoy was formed on the highway for the last time. Tractors and trucks with a speed of less than 50 kilometers were left behind, and a hapless infantry platoon was left to guard. After the reorganization, the speed of the entire convoy immediately increased to 55 kilometers. This is the highest speed that can be achieved on this type of road. No matter how fast it is, it may affect driving safety.

The four-wheeled armored vehicle of the armored platoon attached to the brigade headquarters rushed to the front of the team~IndoMTL.com~Powell's crew was one of them, followed by the half-track transporter of the brigade headquarters, and then the brigade’s More than a dozen three-wheeled and two-wheeled motorcycles from Opel and Renault troop carriers, communications company and guard company are on guard on both sides of the truck fleet.

The convoy added full horsepower and galloped forward. After turning over a hillside, the leading armored car saw a few black-gray plumes of smoke erected high in the distance, and at the same time heard the roar of the engine that could not be covered. With the fierce gunfire, the commander distinguished the dull burst of KWK30's bright rhythm from it. The second lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Powell's car had not been destroyed. They were still stubbornly resisting.

"Go ahead at full speed! The comrades are waiting for our support!" The ensign took up the walkie-talkie and issued an order to the armored reconnaissance platoon.
