Chapter 33 The Horn of War (1)
The Third Armored Division, far away in Munich, was already in chaos, and Rick was listening to the war reports of the commanders of each regiment. When the 2nd Army broke through the western defense line of the SS, it happened that the Third Armored Division captured the Barrow Palace, the headquarters of the Munich National Socialist Party.
There were only 200 SSs in the entire Barlow Palace. They wanted to defend themselves by relying on complex buildings, but unfortunately, facing the tanks of the Third Armored Division, the Mauser 9k rifle could not pose any threat to the tank armor. With the cover of the armored power, Rick sent two companies into the building to fight the left-behind SS for nearly an hour. In the end, 16 people were killed and 56 people were seriously injured and 56 people occupied the Barlow Palace.
Heinrich, who was responsible for the raid on No. 16, Pulingzregent, had no gains. All he got was a messy apartment, and he was rushing to the Third Armored Division headquarters.
"Report!" A communications platoon leader pushed the door in a hurry, holding a note in his hand.
The temporary division headquarters of the Third Armored Division was set up in a residential house next to the Munich Municipal Government, and they were discussing the next plan.
Rick is the acting commander appointed by Xu Yang. He is currently eager to find out where his commander has gone. When he saw the communication platoon leader coming in, and his face was filled with an excited expression, he hurriedly shouted: "Remember!"
The communication platoon leader was very happy, "Our army has fully occupied Munich! General Loeb's 2nd Army is entering the city from the west of the city!"
Rick didn't want to hear this, he yelled: "There is no news about the commander!"
The communications platoon leader immediately replied: "We learned from the SS that the last place where His Excellency Stark appeared was the main station of Munich and had the special train of that person. Their destination was Vienna, Austria."
Rick stared at the communications platoon leader fiercely, "I hope you can understand what you should report first in the future!"
The communications platoon leader said aggrievedly: "According to the clear regulations of the emperor, we should report the war and the situation of the war first."
"Okay OK, you keep doing your own work." Rick was a little upset, and he turned to face the commanders of the regiments, "Map?"
Mahan is now the logistics major who manages the logistics of the Third Armored Division. He carefully dismantled the walls of Munich map and folded it to replace it with the Austrian map. "There are too many mountains and forests in Austria, and the armored troops cannot march quickly."
Rommelno looked at Austria's transportation route thoughtfully, "Lt. General Von Vorard Burkelberg's three mountain divisions were stationed in Horabrun?"
Mahan immediately marked the three "Gerbergs Force Names" of the mountain troops under the transparent plastic covering the map, and then looked up at Rommel.
Rommel pointed at Munich and entered Austria's railway line, "This railway in Passau and this railway in Rhinemie..."
Ma Han quickly drew the railway line with a red pen and calculated the distance with a map measuring device.
Rick already knew what Rommel wanted to do, so he summoned the liaison officer in and ordered: "Let the Messeth BF-109F exploration team take off, explore the railway lines of Wells, Linz, Perger, Ibbs, and St. Pelten, and the Stuka Squadron will be at any time! Contact Lieutenant General Von &;226; Volard Burkelberg, and request his troops to explore and advance to Krems. Contact Lieutenant General Hasser, stationed in Baden, to lead his 44th and 45th Infantry Division to explore and advance to Saint Pelten. Commander of the Third Infantry Regiment..."
Hohenzollern was shocked and took a step forward, "Yes!"
Rick said clearly: "This operation was not allowed by the commander. I don't care if you are going to steal or rob. In short, I hope to hear the news that you have led the infantry regiment to Austria in an hour!"
Hohenzollern stood attentively and saluted, turned around and took a few steps, and simply left the division headquarters. He was now going to gather his soldiers and then steal or grab a train.
"What are you still standing here?" Rick said of the liaison officer.
The liaison officer was a stereotypical major of the National Defense Forces. He asked in a bit incredible: "Your Excellency, we do not have the authority to command the troops of Lieutenant General Von Wolard Burkelberg and Lieutenant General Hassey. Are you sure you want to send a telegram to the two Lieutenant Generals?"
Rommel signaled to contact the official to do so before Rick got angry, and he once again focused his eyes on the picture.
At this moment, the division's division was pushed open again, and Rick yelled in anger: "You bastard don't go to contact us yet, run... run in...ah! Loeb will win you!"
Loeb came in with two adjutants. He didn't say nonsense, "Have you confirmed the train on your way to Vienna?"
The officers of the Third Armored Division were familiar with Loeb, and they all sought help from Loeb in a pleading tone.
Loeb looked at the route that was out of the map icon, "Linz, Ibbs. At the speed of the special train, he should be about to arrive in Ibbs. There are 30,000 armed SS there. I just accepted the request of Major Saubers Liaison Officer and sent a note to the 17th Infantry Corps and the 18th Mountain Corps as a general of the National Defense Forces. They will explore and advance to Krems and St. Pelten. Don't worry, Stark is not a short-lived ghost."
The commanders of the Third Armored Division's gratitude to Loeb cannot be described in words, and this is a very big favor.
...
Xu Yang and the others were moving towards Amstetten's road at this time. They chose the forest route to hide. Amstetten has a Gestapo contact office, and they can use the radio station to contact domestic rescue teams.
It is not known in China that the head of the empire and the SS leader have been "dead". He will definitely not dare to enter Austria easily in order to prevent the SS's possible counterattack.
Xu Yang was in a complicated mood. He knew very well that the commander was right to order an armed counterattack regardless of his own safety, but the feeling of being abandoned was really bad. He had become very few words recently, and he was just walking silently in the center of the team to receive protection and move his steps.
Hate? No. Are you disappointed? No. It’s just that this taste is very uncomfortable.
Sometimes Xu Yang always feels that he has become a flower in a greenhouse, growing slowly under the protection of the Juncker class and the National Wehrmacht, and all conspiracies are far away from him. He knows the intention of the Juncker class and the commander-in-chief. They do this to make themselves flawlessly on the stage of power, but is this really right? Who knows...
Xu Yang is thinking.
It is impossible for a pure and flawless person to stand on the stage of power. The consequence of the Junker class and the Defense Force doing this is to make him become hostage to Hitler without knowing it. However, Xu Yang cannot accuse the entire Junker class and the Defense Force of doing this, and they have good intentions to do this.
Xu Yang thought about the answer, and he felt that his strategy had always been wrong. Political struggles were very cruel, especially when it was related to the future of a country, the struggle would undoubtedly be very bloody. He had known for a long time that the struggle would come sooner or later, but he hid in the direct troops and regarded himself as an outsider.
In fact, Xu Yang could not leave the matter at all, because the entire struggle was around him, he was the focus, and because he was regarded as the magnanimous person, the National Defense Forces used force to resolve the conflicts too early.
The meaning of the National Defense Forces Command is very obvious: Little Stark must be responsible for his actions. Even if he is already in the hands of Hitler and becomes a hostage, we cannot make a compromise. It is not that we gave up Little Stark, but that he threw himself in danger. In the face of national interests, anyone must be prepared to sacrifice. The interests of the country will not compromise the country's armed forces because of a person's security. Since the struggle has been decided to resolve by force, it cannot be stopped. Little Stark dies, the country will not be sorry to the Stark family, and must make strategic adjustments. Little Stark lives, and the country's strategy remains unchanged.
The world is cruel and ruthless. Of course, Hal understood this, but he still had hope, and he placed his hope on Heidrich.
Heidrich successfully rescued Xu Yang. The only accident was an era when the leadership of a political party was "dead" in an "accident".
Heidrich felt that the result was very good. No matter who arranged the conspiracy, the result was very perfect, but he still had too much to think about. After returning to the country, Heidrich will take over as the Imperial Minister of Security. He will be responsible for leading the Imperial intelligence organization management at home and abroad, and awarding the title of Major General of the National Defense Forces. This is the reward Hal gave him, and the reward is quite generous.
In fact, Heidrich was also tired of his credit being occupied by the officials, but this was not a reason for betrayal. More importantly, he also wanted to get something, something that had been promised beautifully.
"I saw Hines." Hedrich kept walking next to Xu Yang, "They were the ones who led this incident." He did not finish his speech.
Xu Yang still looked ahead, his tone was a little cold, "You have never seen Hines, he has been confirmed dead. This incident was a conspiracy between Czechoslovakia and Poland. In order to prevent Hitler's expansion, they used the chaos of the German Third Reich to create this murder. And your intelligence department has obtained sufficient evidence. The German Third Reich will not tolerate other countries interfering in the empire's own internal affairs."
