Chapter 282: Massacre (I)
The explosion startled everyone, and at first everyone thought that one of the equipment was malfunctioning, but when they saw the German soldiers start to blockade the factory, they realized that the situation did not seem to be good.
"God! What's going on? Where did the explosion come from? The German officials in charge of the plant were startled by the sudden explosion and rushed out of the office building.
At about the same time, a Wehrmacht major, who commanded the German garrison in the industrial area, also ran out of his resting place.
Seeing the tall figure of the major appear in sight, the official suddenly relaxed a lot, he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Major, Mr. Major, how could there suddenly explode in the industrial zone?" Did the Belgians counterattack? ”
The major was a little amused by the official's words, and replied: "Belgian counterattack? Why don't you say that the Poles are coming here? ”
"This ......" the official opened his mouth, as a management officer, he didn't know much about military affairs, but he knew that he might be making a joke.
Because the Polish army is now fighting for Germany, even a three-year-old child knows about it.
"It could be a malfunctioning equipment, it could be a guerrilla raid, or maybe there was a Belgian guy doing something in the factory." The major stopped teasing the officials, looked at a factory building with black smoke rising not far away, and gradually became serious, "No matter what, let's block the industrial area first...... Marvin! ”
"Here!" An officer wearing the rank of second lieutenant of the Wehrmacht stood up and shouted.
"Notify me, all soldiers immediately assemble, set up cards on all access roads in the industrial zone, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the factory without my permission!" The major ordered.
"Understood!" Marven saluted and was about to turn away.
Suddenly, a breeze blew from the direction of the factory where the explosion occurred, mixed with a peculiar smell.
The Major sniffed, his years in the army had made him keenly aware of and distinguish the scent.
“TNT…… RDX ......" The Major twitched his nose, and suddenly he remembered something, and shouted in surprise with wide eyes, "Torpex! It's Torpex! Verdammt (hell)! ”
“Torpex? What is that? The official asked, confused.
"A special kind of military explosive, the preparation of which is closely monitored in various countries. Damn it! Isn't this something that is generally only available in the Navy? Why is this here? The major said nervously.
"Military explosives?" The official was taken aback, and said in his heart that you TM also said that the Belgians did not counterattack? This TM military explosives are out!
"Marven! We don't have enough manpower, so you go and inform the friendly troops and ask them to come to the industrial zone to help with martial law. The Major inexplicably thought of an SS special unit that was kept strictly secret, and he began to feel uneasy, and hurriedly added an order.
"Can't you get the British and the French to come up with such a force?" He said to himself.
"Got it!" Marven nodded and ran back to the office building.
"Shall we go to the site of the explosion first?" The official looked at the major's serious face and cautiously proposed.
"Okay." Hearing this, the major nodded, "By the way, inform the engineer team and ask them to determine the damage to the explosion, I want to see what is worthy of such a big move by the British and French, and send such troops to blow up." ”
Soon, the group entered the factory where martial law was placed.
A platoon commander in charge of the plant's security led the group to the place where the explosion occurred, pointed to a pile of "broken copper and iron" and said, "This is it." ”
"What is this?" The major and the officer looked at the tattered refining furnace and looked at each other.
"Oh my God...... Could this thing be a ......?" the engineers recognized at a glance, quickly pushed away the crowd, and rushed to the device to confirm carefully.
Finally, an engineer found a nameplate not far from the machine, picked it up and looked at it twice, and suddenly burst into tears, crying and shouting, "Oh God! What a thing! The Führer will kill me! ”
"What's that?" Watching the engineer thump his chest and lose his stutter, the two began to feel a little uncomfortable.
"A 300-ton tilting refining furnace! 300 tons! It's also tilting! The engineer shouted with tears in his face.
"This thing...... Is it worth it? The Major asked, scratching his head.
"A 20 million Mark ......" The engineer said the price and looked at the major's military uniform and paused, "No, it should be said that one is about equal to the price of 80 Tigers, do you think it's worth it?" ”
"80 cars...... Tiger tank?! The Major's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right, the number of this thing in our country can be counted on both hands, because this thing has enough money and is not easy to make, it combines the advantages of reverberatory furnace and rotary furnace, but there are also great drawbacks, that is, the tilting structure of the tilting furnace has been in a state of stress during production, resulting in this structure has high requirements for yield strength, tensile strength, compressive strength and bending strength......" said that the engineer began to enter the "chattering state", pulling out a lot of terms.
"Stop, stop," the official made a stop-and-...... gesture, "I don't want to hear this miscellaneous intensity, and you just tell me what will happen to us if the Führer knows that this thing is gone?" ”
"It depends on how many parts are left for recycling." The engineer got up from the ground and began to inspect the furnace with his companions, muttering to himself, "If the tilting structure is not too damaged and can be used, then it will not be a problem for us to build a shell, in which case the Führer will stab us to death three times at most...... Well...... Very good, the tilting structure into a puddle of molten steel, well, it seems that the Führer can stab us to death ten times......"
"Nonsense, the attackers used Torpex explosives with a very high aluminum content, which are meant to be used against large warships, and you can't blow up a machine yet?" The major felt a little powerless, "What's more, the bastard who put the explosives seems to have deliberately added thermite......"
Speaking of this, several people understood how bad the current situation was.
"Find me!" The major suddenly jumped up and pointed at the platoon commander in charge of this factory and shouted, "Find out where the special unit that has mixed in is for me!" I'm going to kill them with my own hands, and then I'm going to kill myself in front of the Führer! ”
"Special forces?" The platoon commander looked confused, "What special troops?" I've heard some workers say that this thing was blown up by an ordinary worker......"
"Ordinary workers?" The major was stunned, this result was a little different from what he thought, "No...... Where did ordinary workers get military explosives and thermite? ”
"Uh...... I don't know, but some workers do say they saw an ordinary worker sneakily approaching here."
"In that case, let's gather all the workers first!" The Major's face was a little distorted, and he took out his pistol and loaded it, "I'll ask them one by one myself!" ”
