The Opel-Olympia sedan in which Hausser was riding was passing south of the town of Clap came to a halt with a sudden brake.

Hausser stepped out of the car and stood side by side with Lieutenant Colonel Kepler.

The south and west of Clayp were now devastated, and almost a third of the town's houses had been reduced to rubble.

Several of the town's broken wooden houses burst into flames, and black smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the sky.

Hauser pointed to the mottled craters on the ground and the ruins of the town, and asked in horror, "Are these the secret weapons you mentioned?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Kepler was a veteran of the First World War, and it was immediately clear that a terrible battle had just taken place here.

Taking off his hat and wiping the sweat from his bald head, Kepler replied: "The maximum caliber of their guns is 105 mm, I can be completely sure, but these craters ・・・・・・"

"The power of a 105mm howitzer can't leave such a large crater, and not a 150 mm." Hausser was also a veteran officer and knew the destructive power of artillery of all calibers.

"I understand that it takes at least 200 mm caliber shells to inflict such damage." "Perhaps, Colonel Rosen's troops have a more powerful secret weapon hidden in them." ”

"Possibly, I'll have to find out those secret weapons and see how many secrets the Air Force hides." Hauser said as he walked into town, and Kepler hurried behind.

As soon as the two entered the town, they saw a knee-high broken calf under a pile of rubble on the right hand side, and a steel helmet with a recessed face next to the broken leg.

Hausser stared at the broken leg with gray pants and leggings for a while, then at the steel helmet that looked like a German firefighter's helmet, shook his head and said, "Poor Frenchman." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Kepler swallowed, his heart even more curious about Chen Dao's secret weapon. At the beginning, he personally saw Chen Dao off, and saw Chen Dao's troops embark on the road to Brüna, and all the equipment of the Air Force Field Investigation Team was in full view, and no weapon could cause such great damage, what was it?

Unhindered to the central square of the town of Claipp, where a platoon of Norwegian soldiers with machine guns and bayonet rifles were guarding a group of French prisoners of war.

There were more than 400 French prisoners of war, and they were standing or squatting in the square, huddled together in a dejected position to keep warm.

A German VW82 barrel truck rushed into the square from the road east of the town, and when he saw the officer jumping out of the barrel car, Kepler waved and shouted: "Major Wagler." ”

Major Wagler saw that it was the division commander and the regimental commander who had arrived, and hurriedly walked to the front of the two to salute.

"Yesterday, our plan was for you and Colonel Rosen to lead your men to set up a defense in the town of Brüna, but now it's like this. You say, what the hell is going on? Lieutenant Colonel Kepler asked.

"Let's go to the command and say, it's a little cold here." Major Wagler invited.

In a small two-story building in the east of the town, Major Wagler invited the two to sit down, and after the orderly brought hot coffee, Major Wagler explained what had happened.

Yesterday, it was not yet 12 noon when Major Wagler and Chen Dao arrived in the town of Brüna, and after meeting up with the Norwegian bicycle reconnaissance company stationed there, they had a brief lunch and followed the Norwegian scouts to reconnoiter the enemy.

The town of Klap is located about five kilometers northwest of the town of Brüna, and the town of Klaipyan is about five kilometers to the northeast, which is not worth mentioning at all for the 251 halftrack with a maximum speed of 55 kilometers per hour. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to the town of Brüna.

After reconnaissance, the two were already able to determine at this time that there were about two battalions of French troops stationed in the town of Kleppyan, and one battalion of French troops stationed in the town of Kleppyan, all of which were infantry.

Under the translation of Second Lieutenant Wolff, Chen Dao had a long talk with Captain Mornay, the commander of the Norwegian Bicycle Reconnaissance Company. After a long talk, Chen Dao mysteriously pulled Major Wagler to express one of his thoughts.

"You want to attack those two towns tomorrow morning? I have no objection, but I think we should consult with Lieutenant Colonel Kepler. Major Wagler said.

"Captain Mornay has just said that the inhabitants of those two towns have almost run out, and this is an opportunity for us. With our strength, we can easily take these two towns, so why should we wait for the main force of Lieutenant Colonel Kepler? Do you want more people to share in the exploits? Chen Dao said.

"What kind of chance is it for the residents to run out?" Major Wagler asked, puzzled.

"Because I have a plan, with this plan we can easily take out those three battalions of French troops, and it is likely that there will be zero casualties, but this plan must be carried out if there are no large numbers of civilians in the town." Chen Dao said.

After listening to Chen Dao's detailed explanation of his plan, Major Wagler patted the table and said, "I didn't come to Norway for sightseeing, I did." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Chen Dao said, "As for Lieutenant Colonel Kepler, you don't have to worry, remember the war adage, the victor is not to blame." ”

The two immediately approached Captain Mornay, and when they heard that there was going to be a war with the French, Captain Mornay agreed to join Chen Dao's team without saying a word.

At 4:30 a.m. on April 16, after a steaming breakfast, Chen Dao and Major Wagler led their men to kill the town of Klepp.

Captain Mornay personally led a platoon of scouts to lead Major Wagler's 3rd Battalion, and instead of taking a car, they took advantage of the cover of night to leave the road and walked around the field west of the town of Clap to the north of the town, and then laid out defensive positions.

Chen Dao led his subordinates to form an offensive formation in the south of the town, and pounced on the town of Clay with murderous vigour.

In April, although spring has entered southern Norway, the temperature will still drop to about 0 degrees at night, and most of the French infantry will hide in the houses of Klaipp Town for the night, and only a few sentries will be assigned to stand guard around the town.

Shortly after Chen Dao's troops left the town of Brüna, they were spotted by French sentries, and in the quiet of the early hours of the morning, the noise of more than 20 Type 4G tanks was too far away.

The French reacted quickly, waking up from their slumber and, on the orders of the officer, mounted their machine guns and anti-tank guns, ready to resist the German attack south of the town.

However, Chen Dao's troops stopped about two kilometers south of the town until the sky turned white.

After receiving the notice that Major Wagler was in place, Chen Dao snapped his fingers at his adjutant, Captain Lorenz from the Navy, and Captain Lorenz immediately sent out an inhumane radio wave through the Type 251-3 communication vehicle.

The radio waves flew five kilometers off the southwest coast of Norway, and plunged headlong into two huge figures on the sea.

Under the guidance of the radio waves, a total of six triple 283-mm naval guns on the brother ships of the German Navy battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were pointed to the northeast.

After a roar of shaking mountains, the muzzles of the 18 guns erupted into blinding hellfire, and 18 283-mm shells spun around five kilometers of sea and over nine kilometers of ground, smashing into the heads of the French troops in the town of Clap with a gust of wind.

The first salvo of 18 guns knocked out most of the French positions to the west and south of the town of Clayp, and after two volleys, the French positions in both places were wiped out.

After three volleys, artillery fire began to extend into the town. After destroying a third of the town's houses, the French in the town fled frantically to the east and north of the town.

The French officers brandished ** and kept shooting into the sky, trying to salvage the collapse, but to no avail.

Seeing that the ferocious artillery fire was still extending into the town, the officers carried pistols and joined the fleeing ranks without hesitation.

The French troops who fled to the east of the town narrowly escaped the ambush of Major Wagler, and the French troops who fled to the north of the town ran wildly in the wilderness and crashed headlong into the Waffen-SS ambush circle.

The vegetation and open field of view were complete hiding places, except for a few who resisted and were killed, and most of the French routs who were scurrying like flies raised their hands and surrendered to the Waffen-SS.

After confirming with Major Wagler that no new French soldiers had escaped from the town, Chen Dao immediately ordered the naval guns to stop firing.

Without firing a single shot, Chen Dao led the field observation team to slowly drive into Clay Town. Twenty minutes later, Major Wagler led his men to join with more than 400 French prisoners.

After the two men met, after a little discussion, they decided to take advantage of the hot iron and point the front of the troops towards the town of Klaipyan.

The town of Klaipyan is located two kilometers east of Klaip, also within the range of naval guns. Leaving Captain Mornay's infantry platoon and a company of Major Wagler to garrison the town of Klaip, Chen Dao immediately launched an attack on the town of Klaipyan.

Under the bombardment of naval artillery, the French troops in the town of Klepyan were even more overwhelmed, and the fleeing French troops in the town of Klepp succeeded in spreading panic to them. As soon as the first round of shells from the naval guns landed on the west side of the town, the French fled from the town in a hurry, and then ran headlong into the arms of the Germans who were waiting outside the town・・・・・・

After listening to Major Wagler's account of the liberation of the two towns with zero casualties, Hausser said: "When Colonel Rosen came back, he immediately invited him to meet me, and I can't wait to meet this celebrity now." ”

"Celebrities? Is Colonel Rosen a celebrity? Major Wagler asked, confused.

"Don't you think the name Heinz von Rosen is familiar?" Lieutenant Colonel Kepler asked, staring at his subordinates with hatred.

"Familiar, who is he?"

"Eight weeks to kill France, do you remember?" Lieutenant Colonel Kepler couldn't help but remind, "I said a long time ago that you should read more military magazines in normal times and learn from the deeds of those combat heroes, but you always don't listen." If you read a lot of military magazines, how could you not recognize him? ”

Major Wagler suddenly realized, "It turns out that he is the same Major Rosen who issued the 'Eight Weeks' theology, and I didn't even recognize him." ”

Major Wagler immediately remembered the incident and said to Hausser: "General, I am afraid you will not see Colonel Rosen today. ”

"Why?" Hauser asked.

He said that once the armored troops broke a gap in the enemy's defensive line, they must launch a surprise attack into the enemy's depth to expand the results of the battle. So he ・・・・・・ he led his men on the march towards Stavanger. ”
