Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 4 Chapter 42: Sanders

Within a few minutes, the Germans gave Sanders and his infantry frightened again and again. When Xu Jun appeared, Sanders recognized at a glance who the German was in a pretty uniform.

The British propaganda departments did not publish any photos of him when they preached that this man is a demon, because this person is so handsome for the British, especially the kind he shows in all the photos. The elegant temperament of the noble Junker and the origins of his birth really cannot make him associate with the devil. In order not to affect the effect of publicity, this person's image appears in the form of ugly comics everywhere.

And when he was promoted as an angel, the propaganda departments dared not publish his photos, because they did not want the British citizens who had worshipped this person to worship him more fanatically. Especially for the British girls who like handsome and elegant men who love daydreaming, neither strict war regulations nor a materially poor rationing system can prevent them from continuing to dream of Cinderella. The officials of the Propaganda Department did not dare to imagine that when the normally smart girls and ladies saw this aristocrat who was different from the British courts who were sick in all ways, the young European aristocrats full of vitality would do it. What stupid thing happened.

An official once smiled bitterly and said that although this may provoke the anger of the British boys to inspire their fighting beliefs, he suspected that the British soldiers who were destroyed by those girls might be more destroyed than the Germans. Those officials couldn't help but sigh why the Germans couldn't find someone who looks like Mao Qi or like Bismarck as the deputy head of state, aren't those German native products? As a result, not many people in the UK know the true image of this person. Everyone imagines the image of the German Marshal in his mind by the description of the word.

However, Sanders has seen the picture of this person, and has seen it hundreds of times, the image of the German Marshal has been deeply engraved in his mind. There is only one reason. He was once ordered to assassinate this German military genius.

At that time, the battle of Dunkirk was continuing, and those naval battleships had not yet become debris floating in the strait. He was secretly called to the Army Command. He was just an army major at the time, and he couldn't believe what he saw when he was led into the conference room of the army headquarters. A group of military giants and British Prime Minister Churchill are waiting for his arrival. Churchill didn't say much to him. He only asked Sanders about his personal situation and gave him a tightly sealed envelope. Then Sanders was taken out of the meeting and sent by car to a villa outside London. Only then was he allowed to open the envelope. Inside the envelope is a photo of the German Marshal in front of him and all his personal information and an order.

The order assigned him to immediately train an elite company, and then led the company to sneak into the German occupation zone to assassinate this person who might pose a serious threat to Britain. Sanders adhered to the tradition of the British people, and he strictly obeyed this command.

Sanders carefully selected an outstanding company of soldiers from the remaining British troops, and then they were brutally and strictly military trained. London also specially transferred a German instructor to teach them to learn German for this operation, and two captured German officials to teach them the habits of the German team. After all, they cannot enter the German position by force. , They can only pretend to be a German team to sneak in.

Everyone knows what this action means to them. The news of Dunkel’s disastrous defeat has come. They know that they are even less likely to escape from France alive now. Even if they are captured, they will be executed as spies on the spot, because this is indeed a serious violation of the rules of war and dishonourable behavior, and no one will criticize the handling of the German police for this. But all the soldiers persevered, and no one offered to withdraw or show fear.

Sanderson was satisfied that he had received a series of truly courageous elite soldiers. He was satisfied that he had successfully completed the first phase of the work in two weeks. He had soldiers, he had the necessary equipment, he had Germany* * The service and the forged seamless certificate are now waiting for London to give the order to set off.

But the development of the next thing was completely unexpected, and this action was suddenly put on hold. Sanders and his soldiers anxiously waited for the order to start, but apart from allowing them to continue their training, London gave them no other instructions, it felt as if the giants had forgotten them . The training continued, but the morale of the soldiers passed as the days passed. Although they still enjoy the material treatment that other army troops have never dreamed of, the psychological torment has caused very serious damage to these soldiers.

The news about the goal continued to flow into the training camp. The soldiers were frightened by the rumors. Although they still believed that they could complete this task if they were lucky, they had lost a week ago. That kind of sharpness. They can be called the most elite troops of the British Army, but they are still young people in their twenties. They are not machines without rational feelings. They have not been on the battlefield and lack of veterans. The kind of patience developed. When Sanders discovered this, everything was too late, a sense of irritability and frustration had spread among the soldiers, and they thought they were abandoned.

Sanders quickly rushed to London in person. He reported the current situation of the troops to the Chief of Staff of the Three Armies. He asked the Army Department to give his troops some tasks, even if they were patrolling or repairing, so as to maintain the morale of the troops. . He also asked the chiefs of staff of the three armed forces when they could start their operations. As a result, Ismay's answer surprised him. The operation was permanently cancelled, and the goal was no longer in France but in Poland.

Then the chiefs of staff of the three armed forces explained to the stunned army major why they did not issue the assassination order. That person has now become a person who can't be touched casually. Although it is not known which part leaked the secret, from the current situation, the assassination plan is indeed obtained by the Germans. Because the arrogant "Cyprus" legion had sent a telegram with the British military code they seized, they threatened that if the British dared to harm their commander-in-chief of the legion in an infamous way, they would not hesitate All British officials in their hands were executed to pay for their deputy head. Not only they, but almost all German legions sent the same message. They also threatened that if Marshal Reinhardt was killed, they would announce the plan of the operation to the world, and Britain would fall into unprecedented passiveness.

Although assassination is the most commonly used method in war, it is a taboo that no one can mention in the world. This contradicts human morality and is spurned by everyone. Britain must not stand in that position.

However, it is strange that the German government did not issue any notices and protests, which made Ismail best confused.

Fortunately, Sanders finally got something. He got the task he desperately needed from Ismay. His troops will launch a landing raid, but the goal is not France but Norway, and the mission is not assassination but to protect a group of important people and supplies to return to Britain. In fact, Ismay has indeed forgotten this small company. Before that, he was still worried about not sending enough elite troops. As a result, the arrival of Sanders helped him solve this difficult problem at hand. As a result, the British Army Major Sanders was promoted to the first level, leading his troops to board the Devonshire happily.

Just as they were excited about the first battle that was about to begin, they encountered this ambush by a German submarine. Sanders' feeling now is that he can't laugh or cry. The target in the past stood in front of himself in such a grand manner, and he was still aiming at hundreds of rifles under his hands. Now with just one order, the biggest enemy of the British Empire will become the first Field Marshal to become a colander in German history.

But he now knows clearly that he must not hurt this marshal. Otherwise, the reputation of Great Britain and Britain, the lives of the attached officers, including the lives of these men now and all the sailors on this battleship, will disappear with the fall of the German. The Germans will not let go of their shots. Sanders has not forgotten the two German submarines who are lurking in the vicinity. The Germans cannot make any British people present survive. They will retaliate. massacre. The Germans will say that the Marshal died under the assassination of the British. They will announce the British assassination order to the world. They will even use their bodies and their bodies as evidence, because no British can live to refute their words. . What's more, the German marshal is negotiating with himself, in fact, he should be persuaded to surrender. According to the rules of war, you can refuse the other party’s negotiation request, but it is absolutely not allowed to attack the other party during the negotiation process after agreeing to the negotiation. This is also a very shameful act of betrayal and no difference from assassination, so it is even considered to be yourself After surviving, there is no way to refute the German accusations. The British Army’s honour will be completely destroyed. British Army officers will no longer have a face to raise their heads in front of their colleagues.

"Lieutenant Colonel... that person, isn't it..."

A soldier standing next to Sanders shuddered and asked, he also recognized the German marshal, the goal that had subjected him to that kind of brutal training. It’s not just him. Almost all Army officers and soldiers now recognize the man, and their eyes glow with excitement. The soldiers looked forward to Sanders with anticipation, hoping that he could order the shooting and then wipe out the person they wanted to kill once and for all.

"Everyone listens to my orders." Sanders shouted loudly on his chest.

Hearing Sanders' orders, all the soldiers squeezed their rifles tightly, and they put Xu Jun firmly into the center of sight. The soldiers held their breath and waited for the final order. They know what they will face after the shooting, but no one has any hesitation. They feel that the training they have experienced has finally paid off today. All regrets will vanish with the sound of the gun. They have kept their vows. They have fulfilled their last duty as a soldier, and it will have no meaning for them in the future.

But Sanders did not continue to order. He fixed his eyes on Xu Jun on the submarine. He hoped to see the expression of panic or fear from the face of this German god. But what disappointed him was that the German didn't even look scared at all. He still kept the abominable smile. Sanders even felt a contempt in the man's eyes. Sanders has never seen anyone who can maintain this manner and grace in the face of a hundred rifles aimed at himself. Although he is an enemy, he still admires the German's courage from the bottom of his heart.

It was indeed the German **** of war, the knight among the knights, Sanders gave a long sigh, then shouted loudly: "Listen to my orders."

He scanned the soldiers with his eyes. The soldiers almost shot when he heard his second order. Some soldiers shuddered obviously, but no one pulled their trigger.

It seems that rigorous training is not in vain. Sanders nodded gently, and he continued to order loudly: "Rifle-put down!"

"what!"

All the soldiers couldn't believe their ears, they stared at their commanders in dumbfounded.

"Rifle-put it down!"

Sanders issued the password again as if he hadn't seen the soldier's doubtful gaze, and this time it was much harsher. The soldiers realized that their commander wasn’t joking with themselves, but they still didn’t understand why the commander issued such an order, but the order was the order, and the kind of conditioned reflex created by the regular and rigorous training prompted them to let go of their respective The rifle then stood neatly with a gun.

Sanders commanded again: "Rifle-upper shoulder."

The soldiers did not understand what Sanders was going to do, but they trusted the stern lieutenant colonel. They believed that the man was loyal to the empire and loved them. They knew that the commander would not do anything to harm them. So everyone strictly obeyed the order.

Sanders nodded to the doubts of the nearby sailors, and he nodded toward Carson who was looking at himself on the bridge, and Carcent nodded to him as if he knew all this.

Sanderson saw that the crew of the submarine had quickly drilled out of their entrance and exit, and then ran to the weapons on the deck. He knew that he had lost his best chance of killing the German marshal forever. But now it’s useless to think about anything. He has betrayed his men. The only thing he wants now is that his choice is correct. He believes that his men will one day understand his concerns. He hopes that they Be able to forgive this decision you made.

Xu Jun stood in the command tower of u37 and looked at the British Army soldiers. Just over ten seconds ago he really thought he was going to die here. From such a distance, he could feel the cold light in the eyes of those soldiers.

But he found that he didn't feel scared at all. He found that death could no longer make him fear again. It might be the reason why he died once, or maybe he had seen too much death, and now he is no longer like he just arrived. Now I was so afraid of facing the threat of death. So he faced those weapons calmly, and he used his smile to despise those who wanted to harm him.

Now the British have finally laid down their weapons. Although they don't know why, this is a good start to communicate with each other. Giselle saw the British army put down the rifle, he quickly ordered from the access hatch to the subordinates below and rushed out of the deck. The previous minute made him almost guilty of heart disease, he would not allow this to happen again. Xu Jun's men also took the opportunity to climb the command tower. The four SS commandos quickly loaded the two machine guns with shells, and then turned the muzzle to the deck of the British warship.

Xu Jun took a speaker from Hans and shouted at Carsent on the cruiser bridge.

"I'm the German army marshal Reinhardt. von. Stadler. First of all, please let me express my sincere respect to the bravery shown by the British navy in the previous battle.

Now, your battleship has been injured and is surrounded by my submarine group. It will be annoying for both of us to continue fighting.

You cannot win, and we do not want to continue this dirty slaughter. So I beg you here, Captain Cassant, in order to protect your subordinates’ precious lives, please surrender to us.

I am here to assure you that you will certainly receive the treatment you deserve, and use the reputation of my soldiers to guarantee that you will not be treated unfairly.

You also know what it means to you to continue fighting. You are brave in fighting. You have done your best. It is a stupid and meaningless thing to continue fighting. You have fully expressed your glory. Now that your war is actually over, you have done your best for the British Empire.

Now I give you two options. First, you stop any of your resistance activities and surrender to our German armed forces. I guarantee that you will be able to return to your family and loved ones after the war.

Second, you continue your battles, and we will not show mercy to you anymore. I believe that some of you will be killed for this. The result of your survival will also be captured by us, but it may be a little wetter than the former.

Alright, Mr. Captain. You can choose any one of them now. Please give me the answer as soon as possible. You know that the survivors of the destroyer are still struggling in the sea. We can’t save them without surrendering. The water temperature is very low now. Please don’t delay Their time. "

After that, Xu Jun took a hot coffee that the sailor brought to the command tower, calmly waiting for Cassant's reply.

But what I didn't expect was that he hadn't let him swallow the coffee in his mouth. Cassent replied loudly: "Dear Marshal Rheinhardt. Thank you very much for giving us a fair chance. We are willing to surrender."

Hearing Cassent's answer, Xu Jun almost spouted the coffee in his mouth. The British surrendered so briskly beyond his expectations, it seems that his goddess of luck did not go far, she was still watching him in the air, watching the world. ;
