Chapter 83 D-Day (3)

After dawn, Guderian ordered the headquarters guard battalion and the military police company to draw personnel to form a search platoon and start searching houses in the occupied areas by house.

This is the battlefield experience he gained in the French Battle. On the French front, Guderian's troops often encountered the situation where residents of villages and towns along the road abandoned their homes and fled, leaving only empty factories and houses for the Germans. However, the Germans found that in these villages and towns, there were still some people who were still greedy for their hometowns, including old people and small merchants. Among them, there were old people who thought they had little time and were unwilling to bear the pain of turbulence and displacement, some were reluctant to leave their hometowns, and of course there were also Germans who had thrown away their homes, and some were thwarted by the family business for a while, and some were confused about money and money, and some were also traitors who had good things to come here. Anyway, there were all kinds of different kinds of things.

The most troublesome thing for the Germans is that some desperate French gamblers and wounded soldiers hid in these empty houses. These French soldiers were unable to fight head-on, but they were very good at shooting black guns in secret. The most dangerous thing is some small troops led by officers. The German army would suffer a great loss if they were accidentally injured. The biggest loss of Guderian's Fifth Armored Regiment was caused by close ambush by infantry in a similar village. The French successively killed a tank platoon with mobilizers and mines.

The military police and infantry searched and investigated the streets one by one, and Guderian's caution was quickly rewarded. A military police platoon leader rushed to report that they found something interesting, and he felt that the general should go over and see it in person.

The only feeling that Guderian felt at that time was that it was very interesting, not because of the report, but because of this gendarmerie, the young gendarmerie, had extraordinary courage, and would make personal suggestions to a German army general.

However, after he took a booklet from the second lieutenant of the military police and looked through a few pages, Guderian completely changed his view. The second lieutenant had a keen eye, which was indeed what he wanted to see very much at the moment.

"Notify General Boke immediately, I think he will definitely want to see it with his own eyes." Guderian gave an order to his adjutant.

Soon, two German generals were sailing in shiny black Mercedes-Benz, guarding and leading by four military police tricycles, and arrived at the central community of Deer Town.

"Commander, General, this is what I want you to read, exactly as it is written in this booklet." The lieutenant stepped forward and opened the car door and showed the two generals his discovery.

"This is a complete set of street fortifications. Every building we see in front of us has undergone special transformation. A hidden crossfire point was set up. The British turned the street into a dangerous hunting ground, and any German soldier who walked into this block would turn it into prey. Fortunately, the hunters all ran away before the prey arrived. I dare not imagine the scene of attacking this street. You should go inside and take a look. Some of the arrangements are very hidden and clever." The second lieutenant of the military police pointed at the building in front of him and reported to Bock and Guderian.

"Home Guardian Training Manual? I have read the British army's urban area engineer combat manual, which demonstrates many dangerous traps. Unexpectedly, the British developed new town defense tactics. This should be used to train the National Self-Defense Forces. When we advance inland, we may encounter such street fortifications. As we advance, we will move forward. This kind of resistance will increase and we must study and find a response." Goodrian said to Bock.

"It's very interesting, Lieutenant, your discovery is very timely and valuable. You will receive the award from the headquarters, what's your name?" Bock said nodding to the Lieutenant.

"General Liszt, Wilham Liszt." The lieutenant replied with his chest straight.

"Oh? I know another Liszt, who is also a keen soldier. You did a good job. I look forward to your future cashing. Now can you show us this clever fortification?" Bock said with a smile.

"Of course I'd like to ask, commander, general." The lieutenant quickly took a step sideways, stretched out one hand to make an invitation, and then walked towards the barricade fortifications with the two generals and a group of staff.

"Turn left, I'm very clear. Left, left, are you deaf? Left!" Lieutenant Julian held the fence of the commander's command tower and shouted loudly at the radio microphone.

"It's really unimaginable that the armored personnel carrier turned the wrong direction again. Turn left from the intersection of Wigginson Road to Duville Road, and the British signs were placed there. Wouldn't they use their brains to think about it and turn right, are they going back to the sea?" Julian returned the radio microphone to the communications officer.

"We have been delaying here for too long. The order given to us was to arrive at West Kefu Farm before 8 o'clock and meet with the paratroopers there. It is already seven o'clock now. If the personnel carrier has not arrived yet, we can only set off the road first and let them catch up faster." Julian leaned out and said to the sergeant standing by the tank.

"There are no traces of the enemy nearby, but they cannot be taken lightly. All vehicles should pay attention to it. There is no need to leave the road. There is information that the British have buried a lot of landmines on the roadside. Let's set off and not wait for the armored vehicles."

"As for orders, platoon leader." The sergeant saluted and then ran towards his car.

Julian's tank platoon was the third batch of armored troops to land. It was a reinforced platoon with six No. 3 tanks. This small tank with weak firepower could no longer cope with existing armored confrontations, but it still had a lot of use in attacks on enemy infantry units and position fortresses. No. 3 has a light body and flexible maneuvering power, which is especially suitable for galloping on narrow rural roads and ancient stone bridges, while Britain is full of such ancient roads and bridges. German tank platoons roared on the roads out of town, heading towards the southwest amid the cheers and cheers of infantrymen in the trenches outside the town.

"We are looking forward to meeting you, Lieutenant." Major Palrag hung up the radio receiver, then walked to the window of the farmhouse, held a telescope and looked at the British fortification position opposite.

The paratrooper camp in Paragage is in a very delicate situation now. They accidentally ran to the vicinity of a British base, which can be said to have blocked the back door of the base.

After the paratroopers gathered last night, they launched a raid on the enemy's rear target marked on the map as planned. The battle process was remarkable, and more than a dozen road whistle cards and small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery positions were successively removed. Since they could not carry prisoners behind the enemy's battle, the paratroopers were very ruthless. Fortunately, no paratroopers were injured or killed after several battles.

The troops marched along the highway towards Deer Beach, preparing to support and respond to the landing troops in accordance with the plan. As a result, when they walked near this farm, they received the latest order from the landing command, ordering the paratroopers to stop going to the beach, set up guard posts and blocking positions on the intercity highway between Dover and Deer. At the same time, the telephone line was cut off, the messenger and the scouts were intercepted, and the contact between the two places was cut off.

So Parag immediately ordered the paratroopers to stop advancing, and the scouts immediately went to the farm in front to investigate. He planned to set up a battalion command there, and then began to dig trenches and foxholes beside the road, and perhaps also set up hidden observation posts and fire points at the top of the farm.

The scouts quickly climbed back, bringing news that surprised the paratroopers. The farm had been requisitioned by the British army. Looking at the vehicles parked in the yard, there should be no less than a platoon of infantry soldiers stationed inside.

Several paratroopers who had undergone strict special infiltration training in Brandenburg touched them first. They used silent pistols and daggers to deal with the sentries at the door and flanks. Then a paratrooper platoon quietly sneaked into the farm. The British infantry sleeping in the barn was unprepared. In their sleep, they had their throats cut off by the German paratroopers, so that this bloody night was later called the dagger night by the paratroopers.

In the main house of the farmhouse, the paratroopers captured several sweet-sleeping British officers, four lieutenants and a lieutenant colonel. The paratroopers dragged the four officers into the farm cellar. Then a fierce and Germanic torture was conducted.

The British were confused at first and didn't understand what was going on. One of them was yelling that he was Lieutenant Colonel Charlie of Dover Command. He wanted to complain to the paratroopers' boss, so the paratroopers would definitely not be able to afford it.

After more than a dozen slaps in the face, the poor guy finally understood the true identities of the vicious evil spirits in front of him, and he suddenly collapsed into a pool of mud. Then a scene that made the German paratroopers stunned appeared. The lieutenant colonel and four lieutenants who were shaking together began to kneel on the ground and cry to beg for their lives.

It's all because of the uncrowned kings on Fleet Street. In order to promote, they have been publishing some random war stories in newspapers. In these stories, German paratroopers have always appeared as bloodthirsty, cruel, treacherous, cruel, murderous, and killing without blinking. They have just taken the lead and turned around and then chewed. Their reputation among the British people has already stopped children from crying at night. In the end, even similar messages have begun to spread in the army. After saying too much, even the people who made up the story believe it.

For example, if you fall into the hands of German paratroopers, you don’t even want to leave alive. They have no mercy, never leave prisoners, and like to scalp as memorials.

It took Pragger a lot of effort to figure out what happened, and then he spent a lot of effort to convince the other party that a small part of the stories were fabricated, and that the German paratroopers were still kept prisoners. As long as they were willing to honestly explain, if they could tell any information that interested the paratroopers, they could keep their scalp.

Several British officials immediately rushed to tell the German paratroopers everything they knew. Only then did Parag realize that he was in big trouble.

After dawn, Palag stood in the attic of the farmhouse and looked through the window, and was separated from his farm. The fields opposite were densely filled with semi-underground bunkers of large and small sizes. Four large and large communication antennas were erected on the open space in the middle. It was obvious that this was a large command center. Palag had already identified two large underground bunkers at first glance, and the tunnel entrance connected to the railway tracks. It was obvious that there was a larger structure underground here.

Fortunately, most of the pores of these bunkers are facing the coast. The paratroopers are actually on the back of their positions, but there are several large machine gun forts on both sides of the base. The crossfire of these machine gun forts covers the entire base, which is obviously a killer weapon set up for infantry who break through the front line of defense and rush into the base.
