Battle of the Third Reich

"General! General! Wake up, we are here."

Xu Jun opened his eyes confusedly.

"Oh, here, what's here?"

"We have arrived at "Mountain Cliff"."

Xu Jun woke up with a shock.

"Ah! Are you here so soon?"

Early this morning, Xu Jun was on a special train specially prepared for him by the base camp. At the beginning, Xu Jun was very excited. This train is so beautiful. Brand-new gray paint gleamed in the sun, the huge black imperial eagle emblem on the carriage, and the bright red Nazi party flag were all obviously showing off the noble identity of this train. The red velvet curtains, dark red embroidered wool carpets, elegant oak tables, and elegant French seats also made Xu Jun feel the luxury of power.

When the train drove out of the city of Cologne, Xu Jun asked the attendant to bring him a pot of coffee, and then sat on the window seat while enjoying the beautiful idyllic scenery of Germany.

But when the train left less than an hour, Xu Jun began to feel tired. After a busy night, the excitement after the completion of the plan was suddenly defeated by the sleepiness brought about by staying up all night. Even the fragrant coffee couldn't make him lift his spirits. Just a moment later, Xu Jun fell asleep in that magnificent Louis XIV style gold-encrusted chair.

Hans knew Xu Jun had been working all night last night, so he didn't wake him up.

When the train arrived at Münster station, it was already lunch time. It was then that Hans woke Xu Jun, who was asleep. Then dragged the open-headed deputy head to the station restaurant. Xu Jun didn't even remember what he had eaten at the time. It seemed to be kimchi or something. I remember that Hans didn't seem to have moved his dishes seriously, he had been paying attention to himself, and I really didn't know why he kept staring at himself so much. As a result, after eating this confused lunch, our deputy head was dragged into a base camp exclusive car in a semi-wake state, towards Münster Eifel, the temporary headquarters of the Third Reich Command, which is "Mountain cliff castle" drove away.

As a result, Xu Jun fell asleep in the car again.

Hans looked at the deputy head who was fast asleep and drooled in front of him. He hadn't had a good rest on the front line. He had to stay up late when he came back. In the restaurant, he kept staring at Xu Jun, because Xu Jun’s state was really worrying at the time, and Hans was afraid that the deputy head of state would drown himself in the sauerkraut broth planted in front of him next second. .

The car finally reached its destination after driving for an hour. The car stopped directly in the open space in front of the base camp. A soldier of the head of state's fine guard flag team immediately ran up and opened the car door for them. Hans only woke Xu Jun at this time.

Xu Jun slowly got out of the car, feeling his head was a little dull. He bent down on the open ground, kicked his leg, and loosened his sore muscles. Then he rubbed his face hard with both hands and woke up. Then I started to look around here.

It is not a fake to say that this is a "crag castle", but this "crag" is not very high, and the "castle" is actually a huge permanent fortress position. The Germans had no imagination when they used the code name. This is part of Germany's "Western Defence Line", which was originally built to serve as the second defense line in Germany if the western border was breached by the enemy. Because the living facilities here are complete and the infrastructure needs to be installed in advance for the many communications equipment that needs to be equipped in the future, Hitler's military adjutant office chose this place as the temporary base camp for the Western Front.

Xu Jun turned and looked down the mountain. The mountain was originally an ancient town. But now that the townspeople have been moved away, it has become a subsidiary camp of the base camp. Various military vehicles were parked along the ancient gravel streets in the town. The soldiers and subordinate officers were running around in the town. In the square in the center of the village, four 105mm heavy anti-aircraft guns can be seen pointing directly at the sky. On their side, the artillery soldiers set up several tents with camouflage nets. It seems to be the anti-aircraft command post. There is a three-story armroom on the side of the square, which seems to be used as a warehouse. A row of trucks parked neatly in front of the house. Dozens of German soldiers were moving goods from the truck into the building with all their hands. Dozens of trucks drove towards the town on the road outside the town. The whole town is full of busy scenes.

At this time, a row of simple bungalows near the foot of the town attracted Xu Jun's attention. Xu Jun found that senior military officers ran in and out from time to time, which seemed to be an important department. Xu Jun quickly searched all the conditions of the entire base camp in Jack's memory. Jack participated in the construction of the entire base camp and knew everything about it.

When Xu Jun found the memory of the row of bungalows, he couldn't believe it was true. Stationed in the row of painted houses with unsightly green paint turned out to be the famous German Army Headquarters.

It turned out that Hitler had come up with a plan to move the Army Command from Berlin to here in order to hold the army tightly, and fear that the army staff officers would make their own claims when he left Berlin. And claim that because the responsibility shouldered by the Army is very important and the situation of the battle may change quickly, it is necessary to locate the Army Headquarters near the headquarters of the headquarters, and can directly receive orders from the headquarters.

As a result, Hitler personally set the headquarters of the Army Command there, which was originally a row of piggeries. I really don’t know what Hitler thought. But the members of the Army General Headquarters did not have any opinions. One possibility is that this is the station that the head of state personally set. They did not dare to object. In addition, it was heard that because their chief of staff, Halder, believed that the headquarters was so close to the base camp, he might have the opportunity to deal with the headquarters of the National Defense Army. The battle plan exerted influence, so the glorious headquarters of the German Army was moved into the pigsty, which was of course reorganized. Otherwise, the army commander Feng will be wanted. Marshal Blauchitch moved into the office, it might be easier for him to commit suicide directly.

Xu Jun shook his head when he thought of it, and turned to take Hans and the two SS adjutants to the gate of the fortress.

There were already two army officers waiting in front of the strong steel explosion-proof door of the fort. Both are young majors. Xu Jun found their information in Jack's memory. They are the military adjutants of the military adjutant office of the head of state, Wink and Ruhr.

Seeing Xu Jun coming over, the two of them quickly stood up and greeted each other. Both sides respected the military salute, and Wen Ke smiled and said to Xu Jun: "Welcome back, Your deputy head of state. In the days when I lost contact with you, all of us are worried about your safety. We were very happy to lead the army to a great victory. Especially the head of state, he also made an exception for yesterday’s dinner with a glass of red wine to celebrate."

Ruhr on the side went on to say: "The head of state specifically asked us to meet you at the door during lunch. I asked you to send someone to notify him as soon as I arrived. Now the head of state is waiting to see you in his office. Please follow us Come on." Xu Jun walked into the fortress under the leadership of two officers.

Since this is a military facility, no decoration work was done. Grey reinforced concrete aisle, thick curved bunker, rough concrete wall. Heavy explosion-proof steel doors, every ten meters in the aisle stood a heavily armed Heads of Guard soldiers, everywhere showing how indestructible this fortification was. Xu Jun continued to follow the two officers to the depths of the fortress.

After they passed the sixth heavily guarded iron gate, they entered the core of the fortress.

The aisle here began to widen, and Xu Jun and his party came to a hall soon. This hall was as big as a basketball court, and there were small offices symmetrically distributed on all four sides of the hall.

There are dozens of desks in the hall, where countless German people are busy working.

In the middle of the hall is also placed a huge combat sand table, densely populated with flags representing a unit. More than a dozen German civilian officers stood around the sand table wearing headphones, and they kept moving these flags while listening to the prompts in the headphones.

Low-ranking officers and civilians hurriedly carried various documents and materials between those offices and desks, ringing telephones and conveying command sounds, arguing, and reprimands were constantly coming from all corners, and there was a lot of tension Another lively scene.

Xu Jun found that although it seemed chaotic at first glance, from the serious expression on the faces of all the staff, the work here was actually proceeding in an orderly manner, only in accordance with its own way of operation.

It is the office area of ​​the command bureau of the command headquarters of the national defense force.

Those low-level officers and civilian personnel stopped seeing Xu Jun when they walked in, and immediately stood up and paid tribute to the spot. Xu Jun found that everyone looked at him with the same worship and respect as the guards in the aisle.

Xu Jun smiled and sent a message to them, saying: "Please continue your work." Those talents began to move around again and continue to be busy. However, several beautiful female secretaries still turned their heads from time to time to secretly glance at Xu Jun. When they found out that Xu Jun was also watching them, they quickly blushed and hurried into the office. .

Hans and Randolph grinned behind the thieves behind Xu Jun. It wasn't until Xu Jun and Dao Gen stared at them fiercely that they returned to a serious look, but they still had a smile in their eyes when they saw Xu Jun's back.

Going further is the most important office and living area for senior staff. The thickest and heaviest explosion-proof door that Xu Jun has seen so far has blocked the noise outside from the door. Compared with the noise outside, it is as quiet as another world.

There is an extra layer of wooden floor on the ground than those outside. There is also a long beige carpet in the middle of the aisle. The rough concrete wall is painted with a layer of lime paint. The lamp was replaced by a darker yellow bulb, and the whole environment was mysterious and quiet under the dim light.

The passage here is like a labyrinth, and maybe the designer originally wanted this so that the enemies who rushed into the fortress could get lost.

Ruhr took Xu Jun to an unremarkable wicket.

"His deputy head of state, the head of state is waiting for you inside."
