Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 295: Crazy Wolf (3)

The importance of the Brest Fortress is that it happens to be at an important traffic node. The highway and railway from Warsaw to Moscow cross the Bug River from here. This fortress not only controls the urban area of ​​Brest, but also guards the water passages on the upper and lower reaches of the Sibug River. In theory, as long as the fortress is not captured for one day, it can cause substantial damage to the surrounding railways and bridges. Threat.

The story of the Defenders of Brest made this fortress famous all over the world. They fought to the end under the powerful German offensive and became a role model for all the soldiers of the Red Army. But this is a story in another time and space, so let’s skip it here. Don't talk about it.

The first and current commander of the "Werewolf" battalion was Major Wolfgang Hoffman, the captain of the second-level SS commando. Although it is claimed to be a special operations battalion, in fact this unit is under the organization of the conventional SS, the SS Special Operations Brigade ⑨. This is the official name printed on the salary receipt.

To put it plainly, the "Ninth Special Operations Battalion" is just a word game played by Himmler. As long as the identity of these units is recognized by the head of state, then the Waffen-SS, which he has never forgotten, may be reborn on this basis. Therefore, these special operations battalions, which have pinned the deep hopes of the general leader of the country, are the best in the SS in terms of benefits and weapons, second only to the guard flag team carefully built for the head of state.

The werewolf battalion was sent to Poland not only to deal with the problems on the border, but also on the secret mission of the General Security Administration to investigate the deployment and combat readiness of the Soviet army on the other side of the river. This task carries a certain degree of danger. The Soviet border troops are not paper-cut signs, and there is a battalion of Soviet internal forces in the sequence of the Brest Fortress garrison.

The 132nd Guard Battalion of the Internal Security Forces of the People’s Committee of the Interior of the Soviet Union is responsible for the security tasks of the Brest Fortress renovation project and the Brest Railway Station. It is also responsible for the security and anti-espionage of the border around Brest jobs. The internal security forces under the State Security Administration of the Soviet Union never need to reason with others. Their task is to sniff out the country’s enemies, torture them torture them, squeeze out the value and then drag them to the root of the wall and shoot them.

The Werewolf Battalion carried out its first armed border patrol on the day it settled in Podlaska. The result surprised the SS members. On the 30-kilometer-long river bank, they at least found out Traces left by fifteen stowaways.

Some of them are left by ordinary people, but the owners of a few traces obviously have received professional infiltration training, because important clues have been consciously destroyed.

So the werewolf team got their first mission, which was to find out all the guys who left these traces before the opponent fled back to the other side of the river. Facts have proved that the costs invested by the SS were not in vain. Within a week, the Werewolf Brigade arrested 22 suspects within its jurisdiction. Six of them were confirmed to have a Soviet background, and five of the remaining were. Have participated in the Polish Army.

After preliminary interrogation, the captives were handed over to the higher intelligence department. Two of them should have received anti-torture training and possess firm beliefs that ordinary people can hardly understand. The rest are all low-level cannon fodder, so it is difficult to expect how many confessions can be obtained from their mouths.

The German side did not make any representations or protests to the Soviet side, and it would not admit it even if it did. The officers and soldiers of the werewolf brigade knew that if they were captured on the other side, their superiors would not recognize their identity. The werewolves privately reached a consensus that instead of being tortured and humiliated after being captured, they should shoot the last bullet into their heads. If they can't do it for some reason, they can seek help from their companions.

In the next month or so, the scouting team of the werewolf camp crossed the Bug River several times during the night, conducted a close reconnaissance of the Brest Fortress, and even sneaked into the city of Brest. , Obtained a lot of information of interest to the command.

Relying on the information provided by the insiders, the werewolf battalion successfully ambushed a Red Army infiltration unit on the west bank of the Bug River. Nine Red Army officers and soldiers died and one was seriously injured. The team commander and the two Red Army intelligence agents escorted by them were killed on the spot. Taking prisoners has become the most valuable battle result obtained since the establishment of the werewolf camp.

The battle took place in early December. At that time, the General Security Administration was closely watching the actions of the African Army in the Arabian Peninsula. So when this report from the Polish border was transferred to the intelligence department, it did not cause enough intelligence from the intelligence officers. Pay attention. Fortunately, the Eyes of Odin discovered the value in time, and they immediately submitted the report to the Imperial Palace.

"You just said that this is the Western Special Military Region of the Soviet Union. Moscow knows nothing about what's happening here?" General Wilma picked up the teapot and filled Dougan's cup with black tea.

"For the time being, we think so. There is evidence that the cross-border activities that took place at the Polish border in the past two months have not been approved by Moscow." Dogen lit a cigarette, flung out the match and threw it into aluminum soot In the tank.

"They dare to hide something from Stalin? Don't worry about the People's Committee of the Interior report to Moscow, or we protest to the Soviet government?" Wilma asked in surprise. He couldn't imagine that in the context of the Great Purge, there were still people who would dare to die like this.

"Because the local People's Committee of the Internal Affairs has also been involved, the senior level of the Western Special Military Region has formed a community of interests. As for our protest, do you think Stalin will believe it?" Daogen replied with a sneer.

"It can be confirmed that most of the cross-border activities that occurred in September and October were dominated by the Soviet State Security Administration behind the scenes. However, most of the people we captured at the border in the past two months came from the intelligence units of the Red Army. "Dougan dusted the soot in the ashtray, and continued: "A week ago, our intelligence officers accidentally got a very interesting order, in the name of routine investigation, the Red Army inland river fleet was mobilized. The order of the two military transport ships of, came directly from the military command, and the last signed was the commander General Pavlov. At the same time, we obtained a confession from a prisoner, and he was indeed marked on the order Time, he stole across the border from the upper reaches of the Sibug River, and he was on one of the two transport ships."

"Is there anything suspicious in this? General Dogen~IndoMTL.com~ Wilma can't see what's wrong.

"A military commander, a general of the Red Army of the Soviet Union, why should he personally issue such an order? He obviously has a lot of more important tasks to deal with." Daogen raised his hand and held the teacup.

"I can only talk about this. It involves the secrets of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. You only need to know one thing. What is happening here is no longer something you can intervene. Starting next year, the command will be Take over related plans. As for the SS special combat battalion, the head of state will send them a new commander."

"Yuan first changed the commander? Why?"

"This is not a question you should ask, General Wilma. Have you forgotten the honor of the SS? But don’t worry, your results here are obvious to all, I believe you will be promoted soon. The head of state will not wrong the heroes of the empire." Daogen raised his eyebrows.

"I see. I'm glad you told me this, General Dogen." Wilma bowed his head respectfully to thank.

PS: I have some physical discomfort today, and the number of words is a little less. I hope you can understand.
