Just as Powell's team was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, the SS Armed Guards had already arrived less than five kilometers away from the fire exchange area.￥f.￥f

The full name of this unit should be "The German SS Armed Guard Brigade, a subsidiary of the Diplomatic Envoy of the Great German Empire, and even translated into Chinese is so difficult to speak. If it is replaced by German, it will be even more endless. Reading it in one breath will definitely kill one or two people who are short of breath. So the members of the German mission referred to it as the "Armed Guard Brigade". After arriving in China, they were simplified by local media and newspapers to "Armed Police Brigade". The reporter seemed to be very compatible with the German head of state.

Members of the Armed Guards have always called their troops to the Tomahawks, because the brigade logos determined when this unit was formed were a Viking Tomahawks and Ss Lightning. Himmler gave them the number within the SS was the 801st Storm Commando, but most people were not very interested in this name that was not a second-rate enough.

The commander of the brigade is Hans von Ludwig's first-level commando captain of the SS, but because he was incorporated into the armed forces, his rank was determined to be a lieutenant colonel of a considerable level. At this time, the SS commander was sitting in the sd.kz.250/3 radio command vehicle in the brigade headquarters, and was worriedly checking the map in his hand.

"Sergeant Powell reported that they had fired with the other party. He was already sure that this was a premeditated ambush against us. The engine of their armored vehicle had a malfunction and asked the brigade to hurry up to support. At present, the enemy troops he saw were about a platoon, and perhaps there were more behind him. Sergeant Powell was fighting alone, sir." The communications officer covered his headphones and reported loudly.

"I hope they can hold on until we arrive. The convoy is already marching at full speed. It is really hard to understand why the Japanese attacked the German army." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig put down the map, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"Sir, I have a guess."

Major Smith, deputy captain and intelligence counselor who was crowded in a corner of the car, suddenly said that the major had been working in the Imperial Security Bureau before joining the team. He was reluctant to say more about the specific positions. Judging from his personal files, he actually graduated from the Berlin Army University. He is indeed a rare talent in the SS. It is said that because of his personal flaws, he was ordered to be discharged from the army after only one year of service in the army. The major has been a little resentful about that history.

"Tell me what you think, Bourne." Ludwig asked.

After working together for a while, Ludwig had a deep understanding of Smith's reasoning ability and trusted the deputy's judgment very much in the past.

"What we should think about now is why the Japanese appeared in that place. Highway 4 is clearly in French Indochina." Smith pointed out the core of the incident incisively.

"They crossed the border. Although they didn't know where they were, they were obviously crossed." Ludwig's eyes lit up, and he tapped his palm with his fist.

"It's not just that, but it's also fully armed. This is not a crossing border. It's a premeditated invasion. From the map, the next city on Highway 4 is the important transportation hub on the border Tongdengcheng, where the important exit channel between China and French Indochina. If this city is controlled, the Highway 4 can be cut off, which is the traffic artery of the cities on the northern border. Obviously, just like they did three years ago, the Japanese army was playing with fire again. Let's imagine that a group of robbers were seen by a lonely passerby during the robbers."

"They thought Powell's crew was acting alone, and these Japanese wanted to eliminate witnesses."

"My reasoning requires more intelligence support, but judging from the information I have at present, the most logical answer is this." After Smith said that, he pushed the silver-edged glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a cold light was reflected on the lenses.

"Afterward they could find ten thousand reasons to deny this matter. We could not produce any valid evidence, of course, the premise was that Sergeant Powell was indeed just dispatched alone."

"I have read intelligence information about the Japanese army. These madmen often do this. But they didn't expect that they were so brave that they took action against the German army, which was a blatant offense to the Third Reich. The SS is the guard of the head of state. Attacking the SS is a challenge to the authority of the empire. We must let these people know what the price will be paid for doing so. Our duty is to defend the great head of state and fight to safeguard the sacred honor of the head of state." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig issued a declaration of war.

"Transfer the news to all companies and platoons. I want every soldier to know about this. Tell the soldiers that just now, the dignity of the head of state and the Third Reich was trampled on. In order to cover up their war crimes, the shameless Japanese actually launched an attack on the passing German army. This is an unquestionable act of war. As the glorious German SS, we must resolutely fight back. In order to safeguard the honor of the great head of state, the great Third Reich, the great German people, and the honor of our SS itself, I order every soldier to the brigade to give his all in the battle. There is no fear, no mercy, our honor is loyalty!" Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig issued an order to the communications consultant with a serious expression.

The communications officer quickly adjusted the frequency, connected the walkie-talkies of each company, conveyed the declaration of Captain Ludwig to the full text of the company platoon leaders in the brigade, and ordered them to use walkie-talkies to transfer to each team, so that all soldiers must know.

As the radio waves spread to every corner of the convoy, the entire convoy was boiling.

"No fear! No mercy! Our honor is loyalty!"

"Start up! Our comrades are fighting alone!"

"All personnel are ready for combat!"

"Remember the Head of State is watching us!"

"Hi! Reinhart!"

"Hi! Reinhart!"

The responses of commanders at all levels came from the radio, and finally the entire convoy shouted the slogan of long live the head of state. The guard brigade, which had already been full of energy, was so strong that it was almost lifted off the roof of the transport truck.

"Kill the damn Japanese! Kill them all!"

"I'm going to twist off the heads of those Japanese monkeys with my own hands!"

"My bayonet is already thirsty!"

The soldiers shouted loudly, desperately showing the officers their desire to fight.

Almost half of the members of this brigade are young SS members. These young people have fanatical and simple thoughts, and are extremely worshipful and loyal to the Third Reich and the Head of the Head of the People. After strict training, they will become qualified soldiers with firm beliefs. They hand over everything they have to the state and the Head of the People. Once they accept the orders of their superiors, they will be more fearless and firm than ordinary army soldiers. Unless they fall on the way of attack, there is no force to stop them from moving forward.

Another group of veterans who have served in the National Defense Forces, who have not been able to return to the army due to various personal reasons. Many of these people have undergone special professional training, almost all of them are all versatile on the battlefield, and many of them have mastered more than one professional skill. These veterans have served in the army for a long time and have been wasted in society for many years. They have been very experienced in dealing with people. They are not so easy to incite emotions. However, they have one thing in common, that is, they have self-esteem beyond ordinary people. The SS gave them the opportunity to put on military uniforms and go to the battlefield to show themselves again. Everyone cherishes everything they have at present. Any act that infringes on this collective is an unforgivable crime in their eyes. If one of their comrades who hurts them, the other party must pay a hundred lives to repay.

In order to hurry, the convoy conducted its last marshaling on the road. The tractors and baggage trucks with speeds below fifty kilometers were thrown at the tail of the team, and an unlucky infantry platoon was left to guard. After reorganization, the speed of the entire convoy suddenly increased to fifty-five kilometers, which was the highest speed that could be achieved on such highways. No matter how fast it was, it might affect driving safety.

The four-wheeled armored vehicles attached to the brigade's headquarters rushed to the front of the team. Powell's team was one of them, followed by the half-track transporter of the brigade's command, followed by the Opel and Renault troop trucks of the brigade, and more than a dozen three-wheeled and two-wheeled motorcycles from the Communications Company and the Guard Company were on both sides of the truck convoy.

The convoy increased its power and rushed forward. After climbing a hillside, the leading armored vehicle suddenly saw several black and gray smoke pillars erected high in the distance. At the same time, he also heard the fierce gunfire that could not be concealed by the roar of the engine. The commander identified the kwk30's dim rhythm and dull continuous shooting. The lieutenant immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The Powell team was obviously not destroyed yet, and they were still insisting on resisting.

"Go forward at full speed! Comrades are waiting for our support!" The lieutenant picked up the telephone and issued an order to the armored reconnaissance team.
