Chapter 118: Sneaking into the Night with the Wind

Out of the need for secrecy, the special service force did not tell the time of the operation to the internal response here, and it is impossible for the internal response to tell the specific time to these targets waiting to be rescued, so these people are still proceeding according to the original rhythm of life, Weiss lurked in, one of the tasks is to find a way to connect with these people, tell them that if there is chaos next, do not follow other people around, but go to the designated place to wait for rescue, if it goes well, They were able to be moved to safety as quickly as possible.

Oktawil didn't know who the enemy's name was, and they only had one house number to use to communicate. Weiss walked around in the dim light for a while, the buildings in the town were not exactly arranged in the order of house numbers, and it looked a bit like a maze to find, but time did not allow him to continue to wander here, so he casually found a passer-by who was walking alone, and asked him where the house number corresponded. This man was an uncle, and he didn't seem to be wary, after all, Weiss wore a Norman military uniform, and he didn't look like a dangerous person. The uncle pointed to a square not far away and said, "Do you see that fountain square?" To the northeast of Fountain Square, there are three houses that form a triangle, and the easternmost one is probably the house number you mentioned. ”

"Yes, thank you, sir!" Weiss said politely.

The uncle stared at Weiss, as if he felt that something was wrong: "Your accent sounds strange!" ”

"yes, my accent is weird for everyone." Weiss smiled, "That's because you're not very familiar with the northβ€”the northernmost accent, to be exact. ”

The uncle seemed to be in a panic, and finally caught a new topic, and asked with interest: "Is it the northernmost?" What kind of city is it? It's as cold as the Kingdom of Wessex! ”

Weiss said: "Yes! But, sorry, sir, if we have time, we can sit down and have a cup of tea and talk slowly, but I have an urgent matter at this time, and I need to send a message, a very urgent one. ”

"Let me guess...... Is it related to the front line? The uncle took off his hat and revealed his bare head, as if he had prepared for heat dissipation in advance for the rapid operation of brain cells.

Weiss stared at his bald head, feeling a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, but he couldn't tell where he had seen anything like it. He replied perfunctorily: "Yes, I heard that there is going to be a truce." Don't worry, once the truce is held, all kinds of wartime bans will be lifted soon. ”

The uncle held the hat in one hand, letting his bare head radiate heat in the cold wind of the night, and she seemed more interested in what Weiss had just revealed: "So be it! Sir, I'll show you the way in front, and you tell me about the outside without delaying your business, what do you think? ”

Weiss felt that it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed to the man's request. The uncle suddenly became lively and began to talk non-stop. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the other party, Weiss had to respond vaguely, and finally found a gap, and he said in a negative manner: "I think you seem to be an expert in a certain field, right?"

"Haha, you really have a vision, I really am...... Before the war, I was a professor at Imperial Engineering University, but when the war broke out, they thought I was under protection and sent me here. You see, aren't I just working on some special chemicals? What kind of protection is this? Dangerous elements are pretty much the same! The bald middle-aged and elderly man complained.

"Do you continue your previous research here?" Wei Sishun asked.

The uncle replied, "Yes, they gave me the best conditions." Even so, the working atmosphere now is completely incomparable to when I was in college, so for the past two or three years, my research has been stagnant, there has been no progress, and they have gradually lost their expectations of me, and they just won't let me leave. ”

"What about your family, do they live here with you?" Weiss asked again.

"Ah, that's the worst thing!" The bald uncle said, "I am alone, I have no family, I used to have some classmates, some friends and students when I was in college, but now I really feel alone, except for the few assistants assigned to me by the military, I am so pitiful that I don't even have anyone to talk to." ”

The uncle is babbling when he talks, and he doesn't have any heart, and he doesn't have any city. Weiss took the opportunity to ask, "I heard that the generals of the captured Federation Army also have experts in this field, or you can consult them for advice when you have time." ”

"Really?" The uncle scratched his head again, "Those people were still here for a while, a while ago, they were taken somewhere else, if I had known the news at that time, I could have tried it, but now I can't find them anymore, unless they send them back, but I think this kind of thing seems unlikely, if the war is about to end, they should be exchanged as the first batch of prisoners of war!" ”

The outsider's words made Weiss's heart tremble: those generals were transferred, why didn't they get news before? If so, is it good news or bad news? Those generals were the primary targets of the operation, and at the negotiating table, they were an important bargaining weight for the Normans, and if they could be rescued, it would be a considerable benefit for the armistice negotiations, but the rescue operation was very risky after all, and if an accident occurred, it would definitely outweigh the losses. Of course, since the two sides had already entered into armistice negotiations, the Normans did have a reason to escort them closer to the front line, so that they could be quickly "cashed in" after an armistice was reached.

The two soon arrived at their destination, said goodbye to the nagging uncle, and saw that no one was watching, and Weiss went over and knocked on the door. The door was opened by a beautiful young girl. The girl was visibly surprised to hear him announce the joint code, and he stared at Weiss for a long time before letting him in, and then cautiously looked outside, and then closed the door.

"Oh my God, you guys actually ran in, how many people came, and they didn't notice you, right?" After closing the door, the girl asked a series of questions like a cannon.

"I came in alone, and the enemy didn't notice me, and look at my suit...... I was walking around here and heard terrible news - the generals have been transferred, is that right? Weiss said.

The girl frowned: "Yes, I also heard about it just now, but I'm not sure, so I haven't spread the news, and, what is your plan of action?" I've heard that the enemy may be able to strengthen the defenses here. ”

"Well, heighten your guard." Weiss took out the paperwork he had captured from the enemy's herald from his pocket, held it in his hand and raised it, "The enemy is indeed on heightened alert, but there is no mention of additional troops. It seems to me that the perimeter alert force is relatively loose, and it is not difficult to break through, but it is difficult to keep the enemy from sounding the alarm. The closest unit to here is just over an hour away. A little farther away, if there are flying ships as a means of transport, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in a relatively short time. ”

The girl stared at Weiss, probably trying to figure out what he had said. If she's just an ordinary scout, she doesn't have to go into that much detail with him, but if she's an important commander of the operation, or even higher, then it's necessary to talk about the plan in detail.

Speculating on this girl's thoughts, Weiss said: "I am the second commander of this operation, if there is anything you think is important, or you want to communicate with us, you can tell me." ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, then replied: "The regimental headquarters of the garrison unit is the center of the entire alert and defense system, and it is equipped with transmitters and telephone lines, and if the enemy wants to issue an alarm to the outside world, he must use radio or military telephone lines, and if he wants to cut off the connection between here and the outside world, there are two ways to choose. The first was to find a way to occupy the regimental headquarters, the second was to find a way to cut the telephone lines, and the second way seemed simpler, but it wasn't actually easy, because I wasn't sure if they still had spare telephone lines. The Norman army was very good at keeping a hand, especially with this garrisoned military system that had been in place for many years. ”

"Okay, I see, thanks for the reminder." Weiss walked over to the table and sat down, "Then let's talk about action!" ”

The girl poured him water, and said in a faster voice: "I have an idea of the people you want to rescue, most of them are in the theater tonight, and if you act now, you will not have to regroup them again, and it will take a lot more time to do this after the theater is live." However, the theater is usually a heavily guarded place for the Norman army, where there are at least forty or fifty guards with guns, and with nearby soldiers, you will have to deal with half a company of infantry. ”

Weiss nodded: "What time does the theater show end?" ”

"Usually it's ten o'clock, sometimes it's longer, it's half past ten. It's eight o'clock, and you still have two hours, two and a half hours if you're lucky. The girl said with a straight look.

"Okay, I see." Weiss recorded all of this, and then asked, "We want to strike in from the lake, there is a pier in that direction, what is the enemy's alert in that direction?" ”

"Yes, there is a pier in that direction, and in good weather, the people of the town can take a boat on the lake, provided that the defenders allow it. They have two power boats here, and they usually patrol the lake when people are rowing. The boat has artillery on board, capable of blasting any boat on the lake to pieces. In addition, in the direction of the lake, they deployed a concealed artillery position, equipped with artillery with a long range, but it was not often used, perhaps, they were not accurate at all! ”

Concealed artillery positions? Weiss thought about what he had observed, and he hadn't noticed that maybe they had built it well enough, maybe there were no gunners there, so he hadn't noticed it, or anything else. If there is indeed a fortification, the enemy can use it to block the lake at any time, which is very dangerous for the special forces to attack from the lake, and should be cleared as soon as the situation allows. Unfortunately, this time was too rushed, and if the time had been a little more relaxed, Weiss should have conducted at least a day's reconnaissance here, and then adjusted the plan accordingly, and the operation would have been more successful by the next night. However, the battlefield is always like this, and you can't afford to be well prepared, they robbed the enemy's heralds halfway, and if they survive for a day, it is estimated that the enemy will be alert. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and start like this.

Weiss infiltrated this town, because the contact was inconvenient, so there was no agreed contact information, and the operation of the special service force was scheduled to start at ten o'clock in the evening, that is to say, when they began to act, they pulled out the guards on the periphery, and then gradually came here, it was probably midnight, and the theater had already ended at that time, what can be done? Did he go single-handedly to subdue the forty or fifty guards? And let the people who are leaving here wait until midnight in the theater?

Weiss thought for a while, felt that he had no clue, and asked the girl, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"What do you mean?" As for Weiss's intentions on this question, the girl was a little unsure.

"I mean...... Do you have a way to enter the theater to inform the people we want to save, will there be action tonight? This, of course, must not be perceived by the enemy. Weiss explained.

The girl's eyes widened and she shook her head decisively: "I'm afraid not!" I'm not a person who can communicate with my heart, I have such magical abilities, and besides, I don't usually cross paths with most of them, and I don't have a code unless I stand on the stage and say it out loud. Is this possible? ”

Weiss didn't speak, and of course it couldn't be.
