Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 296: Crazy Wolf (3:5)

In the undergrowth by the Burg River, Sergeant Sweinbach is still holding his telescope, monitoring the movement on the other side of the river.

"What's the matter, the appointed time has already passed." Deputy Sergeant Krent whispered at the other end of the bush.

"Come on, late...six minutes." Sweinbach put down the telescope and pushed up the visor of the M35 helmet.

On the other side of the river is a small spruce forest. There is an earth-based path that accommodates two people on the bank. One end of the road leads to the dilapidated wooden trestle by the river, and the other end is winding all the way. Disappeared by the woods.

At this moment, a Soviet patrol came out of the spruce forest. These soldiers were dressed in gray-brown woolen uniforms, with grass-green hats on their heads, and water bottles and canvas debris were slung across their waists. Bao, carrying a Mosin Nagan rifle with a military thorn on his back. The one leading the head should be a senior non-commissioned officer of the border guard. The big brimmed hat looks newer than the soldier's. He is carrying an armed belt slanting, with a pistol and a leather map bag hanging around his waist, and his boots are polished brightly .

"Twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fourteen people are all here." Krent counted quietly on the side.

"I don't know what delayed them, but it's still within an acceptable range." Sweinbach turned his head and glanced at the other side of the juniper.

On the opposite side, these are the Soviet border guards, which belong to the 17th Red Flag Brest Frontier Guard Corps. At this time, in the Brest Fortress, almost one company of the Ninth Post of the Border Guard Corps was stationed, but these were from another post five kilometers west of Brest.

The Soviet border guards are led by the "General Administration of Border Defense and Internal Affairs" (GUPVO) under the People's Committee of the Interior, and belong to two systems with the Red Army. The green military cap is an important symbol to distinguish them.

Although the border guards belong to the People’s Committee of the Interior, they are not as mysterious as people think. They are just regular border patrols and guards. They are mainly equipped with light weapons. This is a unit independent of the Red Army. The armed forces outside the military system only obey the orders of the People’s Committee of the Interior, and they have considerable administrative autonomy.

The Soviet border guards are not field troops in the military sense. In fact, they lack regular combat training. The main tasks of these troops are border guards and combating smuggling activities. Sometimes they will pick up their old line to catch an enemy agent. The actual function is similar to the border police and stormtroopers on the German side.

The Border Patrol did not stop until they reached the trestle bridge. Like hundreds of patrols in the past, they dispersed immediately, and the soldiers began to rest on the grassy slopes of the embankment.

A soldier took out the canvas folding bucket he was carrying, and walked onto the trestle bridge to fetch water from the river. Although the Buge River was an inland river, there was not much industry upstream at the time, so the water quality of the river was quite good. It needs a little processing to reach the drinking standard.

"They will rest here for about fifteen minutes, and then return to the outpost along the same route. Everything goes according to plan, and the action will begin in twenty minutes." Sweinbach faced Krent on the other side of the juniper The sergeant said, then he turned his face to the signal soldier behind him and ordered: "Send a letter to the camp, everything is going well."

The communicator dismissed the TornFU.g field infantry radio station on his back, kneeling on one knee with a key pad on his thigh, and skillfully tapped a string of codes. In the temporary SS camp not far from the river bank, the correspondent reported loudly to Lieutenant Max at the same moment: "Lieutenant, the red team is calling, the dog group has reached the U point, everything is going well, and the action will begin in 20 minutes." /

"Lieutenant, Sweinbach is about to act soon, we should notify him now..." A second lieutenant made a suggestion.

"No, we don't need to do anything. We will stay where we are." Max pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his index finger, the blue pupils behind the lenses were deep and cold.

"You've seen this too. This is an order from the regional headquarters." The lieutenant shook the message.

"Once the operation starts, it cannot be stopped. According to current calculations, they only have two hours. Once they are entangled in the operation by the Soviets, they may not have time to return to the shore..." The ensign was a little excited.

"Sweinbach knows what he is doing. He is very aware of the risks of this task." Lieutenant Max interrupted.

"But he didn't know that he and his men might not be able to get the scheduled response." The ensign retorted loudly.

"Then what's your opinion~IndoMTL.com~Lieutenant Cole." The corner of the SS Lieutenant's mouth turned to one side.

"Since there is a loophole in the plan, then we should immediately terminate this operation. We cannot risk the lives of comrades." Ensign Cole said loudly.

"Since they have chosen to join this force, they are already embarking on an adventure, Lieutenant Cole, everyone is the same, including you and me." Lieutenant Max gave a weird smile when he said this.

"Why did you make this decision, you have every right to terminate this action." Cole said excitedly.

"Because I like it, Lieutenant Cole." The lieutenant picked up the cold coffee from the table.

"Like? What's the reason?!" The second lieutenant was shocked by the lieutenant's answer, and his brain couldn't react.

"Corporal Schrödinger." Lieutenant Max turned to the corporal standing in the corner of the awning and said: "Please change me a cup of hot coffee.",
