Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 482: The Head and the Woods (Part 1)
The tank stopped at the edge of the woods. Xu Jun jumped out of the tank first with agility. The head of the empire looked at the woods in front of him with his arms akimbo, with a smug expression on his face.
Dogen crawled out of the vehicle from the hatch of the signaller and turned around to take the two MP40s handed out by Disenhofen from the hatch, as well as two canvas triple magazine bags with straps. Tysenhofen then climbed out of the turret, except for his leather briefcase, which never left his body, and he also carried a 98K rifle with a scope in his hand. Randolph took the key to lock all the hatches, unloaded the MG34 machine gun from the gun rack at the rear of the control tower, and drew out the entire cartridge from the magazine. Because it was a little too long, it was still in his own. A circle around the shoulder.
Speaking of tank locking, at that time all German tank hatches had their own small door locks, mainly to prevent unrelated personnel from entering the car without authorization and damaging the precision equipment in the tank when the occupants of the tank were not in the car. At the same time, it is also to guard against some soldiers with dirty hands and feet to steal personal belongings left in the car by the crew.
Don’t look at the appearance of the German Army’s strict military disciplines. In fact, no matter how strict military disciplines are, some petty thefts in the army cannot be prevented. Some soldiers are originally of poor quality in society, and some are on the battlefield. When the shackles of personal morality are broken, it is almost impossible to return to the original point.
Especially if you encounter an officer who is not behaving properly, of course they will not restrain the behavior of the soldiers. Some of the bad quality infantry will shoot at all targets that are not the unit, and take away everything they see. Before these people were sent to the disciplinary camp by the military police, their actions had already caused quite a bad influence both inside and outside the army.
For this kind of military thief, Xu Jun proposed the principle of zero tolerance. As long as he finds one, he will deal with one, regardless of whether he has established any dazzling merits in the war. Once he is found to violate relevant military regulations, he will be treated as such. The severity of the crime was sent to a punishment camp or a concentration camp. The difference between the two is that the former can continue to retain military status and honor, while the latter becomes mud that can be trampled at will.
Xu Jun carried the 98K rifle, and looked at his small hunting group dumbfounded. This posture is really not like going to hunt some grouse. Who has ever seen hunting with a machine gun and said yes Everyone believed in the encirclement and suppression of guerrillas. ($>>>Cotton, flower "sugar" little "said")
Furthermore, there are two SSs plus two armies, and one of them is wearing a sharp marshal uniform with military-style weapons in his hands. This picture does look a little strange.
"There is a path here, my head of state." Randolph took the lead and pushed aside the low bushes by the woods. He was slung with the belt of the machine gun and held the automatic weapon with his hands flat.
"Be careful, there is a ditch here." Daogen stepped across the natural trench, turned around and stretched out his hand to Xu Jun.
"Just take care of yourself, Daogen." The head of state declined the colonel's help, and he jumped over the ditch with a leap.
"Where are you going now, I can't see that there is a prey here." Xu Jun held a tree trunk and raised his eyes to look into the forest. He could see that this is an artificially planted red pine forest. The arrangement appears to be very regular. The tree trunks are kept at the same spacing, and neat lanes are arranged. The ground is covered with a layer of broken branches and fallen leaves. It feels like a wool carpet when you step on it.
"There is a trail in the woods that seems to be used all the time." Randolph shouted from the front.
Because of being stepped on for a long time, the soil on the road is relatively solid, revealing the dark brown soil foundation, and there are not many weeds growing on the road, so it is easy to be identified by comparing it with the ground on the side. .
"It is certain that this is not a beast path stepped on by wild beasts. I have not heard of any large beasts in this place. Seeing that these traces are left by ordinary leather shoes, they should be the footprints left by surrounding villagers. These few footprints Obviously the German military boots were left behind, perhaps from the police patrol of the forest ranger." Daogen seemed to be very experienced. He squatted beside a few footprints on the road and pointed out his findings to Xu Jun.
"Then if we shoot, will it attract their attention? I don't want to cause trouble." Xu Jun raised his concerns. "Probably not. These footprints should have been left a week ago. No new footprints have been found. What we need to worry about now is that we may encounter nearby villagers and hunters. It is best not to hunt them as grouses. "Dogen smiled and comforted the head of state.
"That's good, now we move on, remember to leave a mark on the side of the road, don't get lost here." Xu Jun is happy again, this is the first time he has hunted in the forest since he came to this era , The head of the empire is now as excited as a spring outing for elementary school students.
"I carry a compass." Disenhofen patted the map bag on his waist.
"Well, go ahead, keep quiet, don't scare the prey away." The head of the empire waved his hand and made a forward search gesture.
Four German officers formed a standard infantry search formation and walked slowly along the forest path toward the depths of the forest.
"Report sir, General Weirle ordered us to continue the search, and he and others will arrive later." A flag guard correspondent carrying a radio reported loudly to Captain Kahn von Stark. .
"Are you sure?" Stark ignored the correspondent. He lowered his head and asked a sergeant who was squatting on the roadside.
"I can guarantee that this is a trace of the No. 4 tank, and it is deeper than the ordinary No. 4 tank." The sergeant measured the track indentation on the dirt road with his finger.
"The Type R tank has specially strengthened armor, which is four tons heavier than the Type IV G. Looking at the jagged shape of the track edge, I can be sure that this is a trace of the Type IV R tank." The SS sergeant answered with confidence.
"In other words, this was left by the Führer. They drove off the highway from here..." Stark touched his chin, looking like a famous detective.
"Where does this road lead?" Stark turned to ask another sergeant.
"It shows on the map... to Vinsdorf." The sergeant reported with a map in his hands.
"Winsdorf, what's there?" Stark turned around and looked at a lieutenant standing on the other side.
"Army training base, armored force school, army communication center, command post of the general headquarters, and a small town inhabited by 500 households." The lieutenant replied, breaking his fingers.
"What is the head of state going there for?" Stark took off his military cap and scratched his head vigorously.
"Perhaps the Führer wants to conduct a surprise inspection to see the combat readiness of those departments?" The sergeant major interjected.
"Yes, yes, yes, right, what you said is very reasonable, it seems that this is the reason, the head of state wants to launch a surprise attack, which is very logical. The head of state always likes to be surprised, in order to know the truth of those departments The situation concealed all of us. The only flaw was this dirt road, which inadvertently exposed his whereabouts, otherwise we people might chase all the way to Berlin.
It's really a terrific tactic, worthy of being the head of state. We were successfully misled by him from start to finish, so we followed the wrong direction before. This is not our incompetence, but that the head of state is too good. Yes, that's it. You can't go wrong. "Stark put on his military cap and spoke to his subordinates enthusiastically.
"Are you going to inform Vinsdorf?" The lieutenant asked ~IndoMTL.com~ why would you want to do this? It would destroy the Führer's plan. We only need to find the Führer and guard him. , Other things have nothing to do with us. We are the flag guard of the head of state! Remember, the Führer's.... the guard flag team! "Stark resolutely rejected the subordinate's proposal.
"Everyone got in the car. We searched and moved along this road, and all brought me up. The Führer is on the other side of the road, waiting for us to go and guard." The commander of the guard flag team climbed up He got his bucket wagon, stood on the seat and gave the starting order.
Just when Xu Jun's guard came along the dirt road like a group of faithful hounds, the head of the Third Reich and his lieutenant group had already entered the depths of the woods.
They haven't encountered the grouse they wanted, but the head of state accidentally picked up an unexpected "little prey."
"Are you sure that your house is in that direction?" The head of the Third Reich smiled helplessly, lowered his head and looked at the loli who was holding his trousers tightly.
"It looks like we are really lost, my head of state. Can you let this kid tell her dog to let go first." Randolph grinned, and one refused to spit on the sleeve of his uniform. Long-eared terrier.
