"Deputy head, deputy head?"
At this moment Randolph awakened Xu Jun in thought. |Sutra|Classic|Small|Speaking|The fastest web update
"The head of state is still waiting for your call back, how are you going to respond."
Xu Jun stuffed the telegram into his pocket, and then replied: "You call the Führer immediately. I am very grateful for the Führer's concern for me. Once the fighting here is over, I will return to base camp. That's it, Randolph , Later you will report to General Rondstedt, asking him to prepare a plane for me, and I will go back to base camp."
"Yes, deputy head of state." Randolph ran out quickly.
Here Randolph had just left, and Hans ran in with a telegram. "General, the news of the 7th Regiment and the 25th Armored Regiment has arrived."
"Oh, hurry up"
"The plan was successful. Most of the enemy has been annihilated, and we are now pursuing the remaining fugitives. Our losses in this battle are slight."
"Good!"
Xu Jun stood up excitedly.
"Hans, you hurry up and let them submit the report of the battle process, and then carefully count the results of this battle and your own losses. Also, let the 25 Armored Regiment completely wipe out the enemy, and then immediately Lead the 7th Infantry Regiment to join us. Let the "Germany" Regiment and other troops also come. I want to celebrate all the troops!"
"Yes, General, I will immediately give orders. Also, please allow me to be the first to congratulate you on such a major victory."
"Thank you, Hans. You also gave me a lot of help. Go and give the order." Xu Jun smiled and saluted, Hans solemnly returned a salute and nodded. Turned around and walked out.
Xu Jun stood on the edge of the trench and looked at the battlefield in front of him. The field that was once a green grass has now become a huge morgue. More than two thousand British infantry corpses were scattered all over the battlefield, and various guns and equipment were scattered everywhere. The wrecked tanks and craters everywhere are still smoking wisps of smoke. An unpleasant burnt smell permeated the air.
A company of German soldiers was cleaning the battlefield. From time to time, the soldiers found the wounded of the enemy alive and called for the medical soldiers. There are also soldiers who are collecting rifles discarded by the enemy. They pile the damaged rifles into a pile, and put them aside in good order and neatly.
Xu Jun looked at the blood-stained field in front of him, and felt as if he had become numb to it. Indeed, he had seen enough destruction and death in these two days, and the cruel war turned a simple history student into a cold-blooded soldier in just one day.
The German soldiers were jokingly digging through their trophies. They left some personal gadgets and handed over all the valuables to the officers. A group of German soldiers in the distance was escorting the last group of prisoners back to their positions. The heavy tractors and German engineers are also trying hard to pull a few Matildas out of the crater they have fallen into. The entire battlefield seemed desolate and lively.
Xu Jun turned around and walked slowly behind his position, his officers silently followed him.
Behind the German position, the engineers set up a huge temporary prisoner of war camp here. British prisoners of war were surrounded by layers of iron wire fences in a large open area. More than a dozen machine gun firepower points were set up on the side. The machine gunners stared at the prisoners of war, with an eager expression on their faces. It seemed that they were looking forward to a hero who could incite a riot or something.
But it seems that the British prisoners of war have obviously let them down. They were sitting on the ground one by one. Some people bowed their heads in despair, while others looked at the surrounding German soldiers nonchalantly, and most of them sat with a dull expression. The slightly wounded soldiers lay on the ground and moaned, while the soldiers next to him were quietly comforting and caring.
The British officials did not stay with their soldiers. They formed a small group in a corner of the prisoner-of-war camp, far away from the soldiers. It seemed that those English gentlemen were very dissatisfied that they were locked up with ordinary soldiers. They also tried to maintain the glory of the British official in the barbed wire. They raised their chins and chested out, looking proudly at the German soldiers guarding them.
When these British officials saw a German general and a group of German officials coming here, they began to commotion. They started yelling to the German soldiers, and several officers desperately shook the barbed wire. They wanted to get Xu Jun's attention.
The guard didn't notice Xu Jun and the others coming, he nervously picked up the mp38 in his hand and pointed it at the British officers.
"Back! Back!"
The German soldier shouted loudly. Most of the British officials didn't understand German, and they ignored the guards' orders at all. They were still shouting and pulling the barbed wire.
"Stand back! Get out of the barbed wire fence! I will shoot if I don't stand back!"
The guard warned, pulled the bolt, and the bullet was loaded.
Several British officers who could understand German began to step back, and those officers who could not understand German were still yelling there.
"Tart, tart, tart, tart..." There was a crisp shot.
All British prisoners of war were shocked by the sudden gunshots. They stood up and looked at the place where the gunshots sounded.
The British officials stood there like a log one by one, staring at the muzzle of the guard's smoking gun with fear.
"Stand back!" The guard lowered his muzzle toward the sky and aimed at the officers.
The officers have not recovered from the shock, they are still standing in place at a loss.
"Tart, tart, tart, tart..." This time it was shot at the ground. The bullet hit the dust on the ground in front of the officers' feet.
This time the British finally understood what the guards wanted them to do. When they saw that the guards were changing new magazines for the mp38, the British officials began to scramble back.
Xu Jun had already noticed this little commotion in the corner of the prisoner of war camp. As he walked past with his men, the guards had already opened fire.
Xu Jun walked behind the guard.
"Soldier, what happened!" Xu Jun pretended not to see anything in front of him in an official tone.
"Ah! General!"
The guard turned around and saw that it was the Deputy Head of Führer. He immediately reported to him, "Report to the General! These prisoners are not honest, they still want to pull the barbed wire away. I warned them, but they didn't listen, so I shot."
"You did a good job, go down, I'll talk to them."
Xu Jun approached the barbed wire and shouted at the British officer inside: "What do you British guys want to do? You have to be clear about your identity now, you are now our prisoners of war. This is France, yes Prisoner of war camp, not your London! All your actions must obey the orders of the guards guarding you! If this happens again, the troublemakers will be severely punished! Do you understand?"
He said this passage in German, and he didn't want these British people to know that he knew English. At this time a British official came out from behind the crowd. While pretending to be calm and walking towards Xu Jun, he secretly squinted his eyes at the guard who was standing next to Xu Jun and was watching him. When he saw that the guard's face was starting to look bad, he quickly stopped.
The officer seems to be over 50 years old, with an exquisite mustache. The left sleeve of the uniform was torn by shrapnel. From that opening, the gray bandage used by the German army could be seen. After the officer was established, he elegantly saluted Xu Jun. Then he spoke to Xu Jun in fluent German.
"Your Excellency General, I strongly protest your treatment of British officials. I ask you to give us treatment that matches our military rank."
Xu Jun returned a gift to him casually, and while looking at him with contempt, he said coldly: "Your name and title!"
The officer didn't expect Xu Jun to treat him with this attitude, and choked.
"The British Army 13th Brigade Major Staff Officer Gordon. Hawke. No. 3487793." Gordon replied.
"Oh, Major Gordon, what exactly do you want?"
"I beg you to give us treatment that matches our military rank." Gordon replied tremblingly, and Xu Jun's face started to make him feel a little scared.
"Military officer?"
Xu Jun shouted angrily after hearing what he said
"You still have the face to mention that you are an officer! You do not deserve the title of an officer! You are simply a bunch of rubbish, rubbish, a bunch of poor worms who only know how to enslav soldiers. You are not as good as maggot eggs in the sewer."
"General, you captured us, but you must not insult us!" The Major Gordon protested excitedly.
"Insult you. You still know the insult. What is the point of your behavior today that makes you feel ashamed. When your messy attack formation appeared this morning, the soldiers needed someone to direct the regroup What are your officers doing? When your tanks and infantry are mixed together and the soldiers need officers to coordinate the offensive steps, what are your officers doing? When our artillery begins to bombard, and your soldiers need orders to disperse the formation What were your officers doing at the time? When our plane started bombing, what were your officers doing? Oh, yes! You are running away! You abandoned your soldiers and fled shamelessly. When your soldiers needed your command most, You abandoned them. When your soldiers needed your encouragement most, you abandoned them. When your soldiers continued to resist, you escaped the battlefield first. You only know that you blindly drive the soldiers to charge. Sacrifice. The soldiers trusted you, so they obeyed all your orders. But what is your behavior worthy of the soldiers' trust in you!"
Xu Jun's roar attracted a large group of German soldiers resting nearby. They surrounded Xu Jun, and they were still whispering while listening.
Xu Jun's remarks made Gordon embarrassed, but he still wanted to argue. "Our behavior is indeed not well-known. But didn't we fail to escape and were captured by you. Please stop humiliating us."
"Failed to run away! God testifies, I have never heard such shameless self-defense! Fortunately, you did not run away, otherwise I don’t know how many soldiers will be pushed into **** again by you! You guys drink Soldier blood bastards, dare to call themselves officers and want to be treated as officers! I tell you! No! Nothing! You will be treated the same as your soldiers. You should be thankful that you can get the same as soldiers. Food and care! Because I intended to shoot all of your garbage! But for the honor of the German Army, I convinced myself to give up this plan. But I will never tolerate that cowards can be given preferential treatment! We do treat captured prisoners. The standards of the officers, but you are not worthy! Those standards should be used for the captured warriors, and they are by no means foolish!"
Xu Jun scolded that Gordon bloody. Then he turned to face his officers and said.
"You all saw it! Hear it! I never allow such cowards in my army! I absolutely don't allow idiot officers who only know how to act in my army! I absolutely don't allow such cowards in my army! This kind of officers who do not care about the life and death of their soldiers for their own military merits exist! My army is absolutely not allowed to have officers who abandon their soldiers and run away alone! Even if I am defeated, I will be with my soldiers. If I need to retreat, I hope you and I will be the last to stay on the battlefield! From today on, if anyone in my army dared to violate the above, I will make him pay a heavy price! Do you understand?"
"Understood, General!" the officers roared excitedly.
"Long live General Reinhardt!"
I don't know who started it~IndoMTL.com~The German soldiers who were surrounding them began to yell constantly. They shouted desperately, and some soldiers had already burst into tears with excitement.
Xu Jun nodded to the soldiers, and then led his officers away from the excited crowd, and walked towards the command post without looking back.
"General Reinhardt? Isn't your commander General Rommel?"
Gordon asked through the barbed wire to the nearest German guard. The guard first glared at Gordon, then answered with pride and respect.
"He is our new commander, the deputy head of the Third Reich, Reinhardt. General von Steide!"
"Deputy...Deputy Head of State!" Gordon was completely shocked.
