Chapter 485: Fifteen Days Countdown
Chapter 484:
The 82-barrel truck was driving in the rugged forest, the road was uneven, and under the bombing of the US Air Force, it looked even more terrifying, and it seemed that a bomb would fall from the head in the next moment, overturning the two people in the barrel car together.
Those U.S. Air Force pilots were smart, they consciously aimed at the pillboxes at the Wolf's Den headquarters, and the bombs were focused on the buildings, and the dense forests on the periphery were all put on hold.
In the distance, a German checkpoint appeared in sight, Xiao Mubai did not reduce his speed, and seemed to rush through the barricade like a rampage. It wasn't until an officer stepped out of the outpost next to the checkpoint and stretched out his hand to stop the way of the car that Xiao Mubai slowly slowed down and finally stopped at the sergeant's feet.
There was almost a platoon of soldiers guarding the entire checkpoint, a squad at the barricade next to the outpost, and the other two squads were hiding in the trenches on both sides of the road.
If he tries to force his way in, he will be greeted by three Maxim heavy machine guns, firing 1,800 rounds per minute. Not only that, but there are more than six MG42 general-purpose machine guns with a barrage of 7,200 rounds per minute. There are also countless MP38 submachine guns, eyeing them from the sidelines. A dense strafing of this intensity is enough to smash a person into a sieve at close range, let alone force it through a barricade, and it will be killed at the moment of impact.
Xiao Mubai didn't dare to be strong in front of a platoon of elite German soldiers, that was not pretending, that was death.
As soon as the car stopped, a squad of soldiers surrounded the 82-barrel car, faintly forming an encirclement, with the muzzle facing down at the car, and in the event of a sudden situation, the muzzle of the gun could be turned at any time to kill the two people in front of him, which was the elite of the SS.
"I'm sorry, Colonel, the Führer ordered us to ban traffic here." The sergeant officer walked up to the car and said to Colonel Stauffenberg.
"We need to get to the airport right away and open the door." Colonel Stauffenberg's face sank and he ordered.
"I'm sorry, sir. We have been ordered to guard the checkpoint, so please forgive us. The slightly thin sergeant officer did not show weakness, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I just gave you an order, sergeant." Colonel Stauffenberg, dissatisfied with the sergeant's dedication, pushed the door open and got out of the car and walked straight to the outpost room.
"Sir!" The sergeant didn't have time to stop it, so he immediately followed, "Sorry, sir."
In the outpost room, Colonel Stauffenberg walked in directly, picked up the phone on the table and dialed the communication room of the first safe zone of the wolf's den, and asked in a deep voice: "Colonel Stauffenberg is looking for Marshal Keitel!" ”
On the other side, in the office of General Albricht of the War Department, Colonel Kirheim put down the phone with a blind tone, shook his head at General Albricht, and said categorically: "Colonel Stauffenberg has made it very clear that we should carry out Operation Valkyrie immediately no matter what!" ”
"Only Fromm has the right to do it, you know." General Albricht shook his head helplessly.
"Then inform him that Hitler is dead, or arrest him, right now." Colonel Kirheim made up his mind, he leaned down, looked down at General Albricht in an oppressive posture, and forced: "Sir, you must order Operation Valkyrie, this is our only ......".
General Albricht interrupted him loudly, "I won't take any action until I hear Figibber's confirmation, get him on for me now." The general ordered.
"Every second we are arguing about here is a loss......" Colonel Kirheim was impatient
"It's too risky to do that......" General Albricht hesitated.
"What about Stauffenberg? Was his risk taken into account? Colonel Kirheim looked at the general and said coldly, word by word: "He completed his task, and now you have turned your back on him." ”
General Albricht turned his head unnaturally and did not answer the question.
Just when Xiao Mubai expected that the politicians would drag their feet, Stauffenberg dialed the phone: "Marshal, I'm Stauffenberg, and I have a sergeant......
"Kolb ......," Sergeant reminded.
"Kolb won't let me through the gate." Colonel Stauffenberg said into the other end of the line, "Yes, sir, I explained. He nodded, "Maybe you can make him understand," and pointed the earpiece toward the sergeant.
Sergeant Kolb apparently didn't have the courage to be stubborn, and after a good two seconds of silence, he shook his head with some trepidation. Seeing this, Colonel Stauffenberg picked up the receiver again and said to the other end of the phone: "The problem is solved, sir, thank you!" ”
Xiao Mubai felt a little strange when he saw Stauffenberg come out of the outpost room and solve the problem in less than two minutes, and he didn't know how he made the sergeant bow his head. He could not have imagined that the Colonel would let Colonel Figibo pretend to be Marshal Keitel, and frighten the poor sergeant.
The sergeant did not even dare to answer the telephone receiver.
Colonel Stauffenberg walked out, Sergeant Kolb loudly ordered to "open the door", the soldier with an MP38 submachine gun opened the barricade, the colonel jumped into the car, Xiao Mubai immediately started the car and rushed over, and was about to leave this damn wolf's den.
On the other side, the damned General Albricht is still hesitating.
"At least get the reserve army ready." After pondering for a long time, Colonel Kirheim turned to the general and said.
"When Stauffenberg comes back and it's confirmed that Hitler is dead, we'll act." General Albricht looked directly at Colonel Kirheim and said heavily, emphasizing that Hitler was dead. With that, the general stood up and refused to listen to the colonel's persuasion any longer.
"Where are you going?" Colonel Kirheim asked, turning his head to stare at General Albricht's back as he walked towards the door.
When General Albricht heard this, he turned to look at the colonel and replied with a blank face: "Like you, have lunch." With that, he left the office without looking back.
The car was driving on a country road that was not very straight, getting farther and farther away from the wolf's den.
Xiao Mubai watched the time while driving. Fifteen minutes had passed since the explosion, and if Berlin had reacted quickly enough, someone would have been up and running by now. He knew that the man did not belong to the Black Band, but to the Gestapo.
"Colonel, fifteen minutes have passed." Xiao Mubai reminded: "I bet General Albricht is still waiting for your news. As he said this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
Colonel Stauffenberg nodded, not saying a word, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
At this moment, the dense forest layer gradually became lighter, and finally I saw the sky shining through, and there were already fields outside. Xiao Mubai drove out of the forest with another breath, the airport had already arrived, and when he saw a car coming, the plane immediately started.
With a squeak, the 82-barrel car stopped, Xiao Mubai got on the plane and flew towards Berlin. At this point, there are fifteen days left before the end of the mission.
