Chapter 186, Prison Robbery (1)
"What? Let's go and provide fire support for a prison robbery? Boynton's eyes widened in astonishment, "How did the guys in the intelligence department come up with such an idea?" How do their heads grow? ”
Ron smiled helplessly, and it was clear that the intelligence services had far more imagination than he had anticipated. He said to Scott, "Scott, tell us how this happened." ”
"Okay, General." Scott stood up and opened a folder. Then say to everyone:
"Two weeks ago, the French Resistance and the RAF had a successful cooperation. Two RAF mosquito bombers dropped bombs on a German prison at night, destroying the walls and prison guards' quarters with precision. Then the guerrillas, who had been prepared long outside the prison, stormed the prison, killed many of the jailers who tried to resist, and rescued some of the most important members of the resistance who were being held in the prison.
A week earlier, one of our important intelligence agents - here is her picture - had been captured by the Germans in Calais. She was on an extremely important mission. She knows a lot of important secrets, which are very important for the course of the war. She was trained in counter-torture, and judging by the dynamics of the German army, we can be sure that she has not divulged secrets yet. But, as everyone knows, the Germans certainly know her importance. They'll do whatever they can to pry her mouth open. Inspired by the actions of the British, we {a}{本} read ~ novel yb][du's intelligence services intend to launch such a raid as well to rescue her.
According to the information we have received, she is now being held in a prison attached to the Gestapo command in Calais. The prison was in the center of Calais, small but heavily guarded, and less than two hundred meters from it was a German barracks with a whole battalion of German soldiers.
Two days earlier, a group of Rangers had been secretly sent to mainland France, and they had already made contact with the local resistance. In the event of a raid, our task was to blow through the prison walls and suppress the machine guns in the prison, while preventing any German troops from coming for reinforcements. Escort the commando retreat. ”
"How is this possible?" As soon as Scott finished speaking, before he could sit down, Boynton couldn't help but say this.
"Our pilots are not owls, they can see everything in the dark. This is much more difficult than the British. They attack fixed targets, and just drop a flare, and that's enough. However, we also have to carry out the task of fire support, and we also have to escort the commandos to retreat, and to be honest, at night we can't even identify friend and foe, and it's not a surprise that we blow up the commandos to death! ”
"Who says we're going to do it at night?" Ron spoke.
"And you mean daytime? Oh my God, do you know how many places in the city of Calais are suitable for anti-aircraft guns? Break into the heart of a city in broad daylight...... Moreover, the robbery of prison in broad daylight, don't you think it's too ...... Is it too sensational? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? However, there is difficulty to be fun. Isn't it? Ron smiled.
"It's hard to be fun?" Boynton shook his head, "Ron, there's a big problem with your opinion. War is an extremely serious matter at all times. But, to be honest, I also like things that are difficult. ”
"Alright, Scott, go ahead and get the map of Calais." Ron said.
……
Calais, France, diagonally opposite the Gestapo headquarters, there is a small café. In France, such cafes can be found almost everywhere. Even if the Germans came, they couldn't change the French habit of drinking coffee. Of course, during the period of German occupation, business in coffee shops was not as good as it used to be because of the economic regression compared to before, but recently, business in coffee shops has improved again. People come to the coffee shop, order a cup of coffee, and then sit with friends, whispering gossip from different sources that is not found in the formal and legal media with an unconcealed look of joy.
"Did you listen to the BBC yesterday?" One young man asked another young man in a low voice.
"Listen, General de Gaulle spoke there again. He said......" The young man looked in all directions, lowered his voice and said, "The Allies are coming to liberate us soon, and we must be ready to cooperate with the Allies and destroy the fascists!" ”
"What do you have in store?"
"I've got a shotgun, what about you?"
"I have a ......"
While the two young men were talking softly, a young man and a woman were also sitting at a small table by the window on the other side of the café. They had been sitting there for a long time, smiling and smiling like a couple. However, if you go over without attracting their attention, you can see that they are actually carefully recording the change of shifts in the general office of the Gestapo. As well as the regularity of German patrols patrolling the city.
In fact, they were not the only ones who carried out such tasks, and the entire underground organization was active, some of them were squatting to reconnoitre, some were wandering around, observing the German air defense deployment, and some were ......
It wasn't until near sunset that the two men in the café got up and left, arm-in-arm, and disappeared into the streets of the city.
……
"Did the woman still say nothing?" In the Gestapo headquarters, a German in an SS uniform asked.
"Yes, Mr. Captain, we used a lot of tricks, but she still didn't say anything."
"Don't blindly use corporal punishment, it's not very useful, and if you use it too much, you will become resistant. We'll have to find more to break her completely. The captain frowned, "Have you made any progress on your investigation into her recent activities?" ”
"Your Excellency, we have investigated that she has been in contact with soldiers of the coastal defense force."
"Which army of soldiers?"
"It's the troops stationed at Lindeman's battery."
"Lindemann Battery?" The captain immediately stood up from behind his desk and began pacing briskly around the office.
"Contact the military and ask for questioning of the soldiers at the Lindemann battery. In addition, hurry up the investigation of this woman's activity! ”
……
It's time to get off work, and Jean?? Jacques left the newspaper office and walked home. His home is not far from the newspaper office, only a five-minute walk away. As usual, he walked into a small alley, and through this alley, it was his dwelling. Just as he was about to reach the end of the alley, a man in a plaid shirt suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alleyway, his burly figure blocking the entire alleyway.
Let?? Jacques turned his head sharply, and he saw that behind him, two men were also walking towards him with a mocking smile.
"Come with us, we have something to ask you!" A man looked at him with a sad and contemptuous gaze, "Don't try to play tricks!" One of his hands was in his jacket pocket, let?? Jacques saw that the bulging pocket was mostly a pistol. So let?? Jacques raised his hands as another man stepped up and reached out to search for his clothes. He's making ?? Jacques seemed to have found something in his jacket pocket, but the jacket pocket was too small, and the thing was too big for him to pull out with one hand. So he reached out his other hand to help.
At this moment, let?? With a sudden spin, Jacques took off his shirt and wrapped it around the man's hands, and a small pistol appeared in his hand. He put the pistol to the man's head.
"Let me go! I'll let him go! Don't force me to do ...... "let??" Before Jacques could finish his words, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and then he didn't know anything.
The tall man is now standing on the ground Jean?? Behind Jacques, a handkerchief was wiping the handle of a pistol. Just now he was shining from behind to let ?? Jacques came to the head with a shot and put him down. The man who had almost turned himself hostage by carelessness just now had also broken free from his coat, and because of his shame, his face was flushed, and he kicked the unconscious Jean on the ground again. Jacques kicked and scolded viciously: "Phew! Traitors who deserve hell! ”。
"Don't waste time, lift him up, we'll go right away!"
How many people lifted up let?? Jacques, in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the alley.
……
In the basement of a nondescript room in Calais, there were more than two dozen people in American uniforms. They were now gathered around and studying a map with the help of the light. A team leader-like man is deploying a mission.
"Once an attack is launched, we ...... first In this position, the enemy has a machine gun, and from this position, it can directly attack areas B and C, and form crossfire with a machine gun on this side, so at the beginning of the attack, we have to pull out these two points. It's up to Fili and Thomas! ”
A short soldier touched the M1903 Springfield sniper rifle in his arms and said, "No problem! The other nodded.
"It's up to Doe to communicate with each other, besides, Peter, you make Doe's deputy, and if he dies, you take over his job......"
……
"General, in fact, since there are no important military objectives in the city, the German air defense in the city is actually quite weak, according to the information we have received, the air defense force in the city is only four quadruple 20 guns, which are deployed here, here, and here! And according to the underground organization, these gun emplacements have basically not moved. But near Calais, anti-aircraft artillery fire is very dense, and here and here, there are dense anti-aircraft artillery groups......" In the combat research room of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing, Scott is analyzing intelligence for everyone.
