Chapter 21: Rommel's Roar
"Yuan, Führer! You, why are you arresting me? I'm not a traitor! ”
As soon as he saw Chen Yanlong, Martin Bowman immediately panicked and stammered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Isn't it in my heart! Stop running away and resisting! I said I wouldn't kill you and your family, and I wouldn't do you any harm! But the premise is that you just do what I tell you to do! If you are truly loyal to me and loyal to me, show me a good show now! ”
Chen Yanlong's eyes were sharp, staring at Martin Bowman and responding word by word.
"I, I ......"
Under the compelling gaze of Chen Yanlong's power, he panicked and frightened, and said in a hurry.
"How? I still have a lot to deal with! Are you listening to me, laying down your arms, and going with my guards? Or do you want to shoot back? ”
Chen Yanlong was straightforward without the slightest patience.
"I'm sorry! Monarch! I want to live! So you go die! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Martin Bowman suddenly seemed to be crazy, and his eyes suddenly opened; At the same time, he raised the Walter P38 pistol in his hand with a hideous face, ready to shoot.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Between the lightning and flint, two gunshots rang out, echoing throughout the Imperial Chancellery in Berlin.
All staff, and the guards, were awakened.
After a while, everyone was looking at me and I looking at you, asking each other what was going on.
And those who had not yet received Chen Yanlong's order to join the guards who captured Martin Bowman; and their squad leader also hurried towards the source of the gunshots, desperately rushing over.
Because they were worried about Hitler's safety at this moment, because it was their duty to protect his life; If something happened to Hitler in the Reich Chancellery and died; I'm afraid that they, the guards of the Prime Minister's Office, will not have any good fruit to eat.
So soon, hundreds of guards who were fully armed to the teeth gathered from all directions to the southeast gate where Chen Yanlong was.
It's just that when they arrived, they were all stunned for a while.
The reason was simple, because not only did they see that their captain had already brought more than a dozen of them; Guards armed with MP40 submachine guns or Mauser 98K rifles gathered around Chen Yanlong.
At the same time, they saw very clearly that Martin Bowman had been badly wounded in the left arm by a pistol; He was drenched in blood, lying on the floor, wailing in pain.
As for Chen Yanlong, he stood unscathed, because the speed at which he had just fired his gun was faster than Martin Bowman.
And while firing the shot, he also dodged the ballistic trajectory.
So Martin Bowman didn't succeed in shooting or killing Chen.
However, a guard member standing next to Chen Yanlong became an unlucky ghost and was killed by Martin? Bowman's missed bullet wounded his right shoulder.
At this moment, he is also like Martin who was shot by Chen Yanlong? Bowman is exactly the same; Lying in a pool of blood, moaning in pain.
"I said I won't kill you for the time being, I won't kill you! But you've disappointed me so much! You want to kill me! Arrest him, treat him for a gunshot wound, and imprison him for my fate! ”
Chen Yanlong's eyes were fierce, and he gave an order to Kenneth Branagh, the captain of the guard.
"Yes! Monarch! ”
Captain Kenneth Branagh immediately saluted the standard Nazi military salute and replied loudly.
Immediately, he personally went to drag Martin Bowman, who was covered in blood, and took him away.
And Chen Yanlong was murderous and led a small group of guards to leave.
And at this time, in Rommel's home for recuperation.
Rommel sat down in the hall. Concentrate on writing his war memoirs.
His wife, Lucy, was a typist, while his son, Manfred, was learning to draw outlines on a combat map with a pencil.
Seeing himself and his son by his side amicably, Rommel felt very warm and happy.
But at this moment, whenever he thought about writing his war memoirs; He can't help but think back to the soldiers and generals who died in the African war.
Those were the best soldiers and generals he had personally trained.
More than 10,000 people, all of whom died in the desert of Africa, where there is no end in sight.
When he thinks of this, he can't help but feel heartbroken, sad, and hateful.
"Montgomery! That bastard! The blood feud of more than 10,000 of my elite subordinates, one day I will make you and your British and American allies pay a heavy price! You wait for me! ”
Then he couldn't help but think back to Montgomery's hateful face, and then he became furious, and he burst into a rage in his heart.
There was no way, because it was Montgomery who defeated his Afrika Korps in North Africa and let him be recalled to the High Command by Hitler on March 31, 1943, and awarded him the Knight's Cross with Diamond and Silver Oak Leaves, and dismissed him from his post for recuperation.
And now Rommel has been in his own home, recuperating for 9 months.
During these nine months, he left Africa on a Heinkel plane and went to Rome and the Soviet Union; Then he returned to Vienna to live with his wife and son, and Rommel had become an ant in the hot nest who was distraught and impatiently awaiting the new operational command task.
Although he was anxiously waiting and looking forward to it, he still did not wait for Hitler to reuse him, or to give him a new chance to fight.
Even the goosebump-inducing birthday greeting he wrote to Hitler was a waste.
The words of the congratulatory were: "My beloved Führer, I wish you victory on all fronts in the new year; And I wish you good news and the enemy army is terrified! ”
When he went from being full of hope and anticipation to changing to the point of loss, disappointment, and even hopelessness; Crucially, he could not bear to call Arnim directly, his former deputy, and asked him to report daily on the latest fighting in North Africa.
It is a pity for this field marshal, who has gradually been forgotten and has no power; Arnim did not give him any face, and told him that Kesselring, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater of Operations, objected to and forbade him to report the war situation to Rommel.
In this regard, Rommel felt as if the tide had turned, and he was gray.
Today, however, his sense of failure is deepening and painful.
Just when he was so sullen and felt very bad about himself, his beloved wife Lucy suddenly discovered his abnormality; And gently walked up to his side and gently put her hand around his shoulder.
"What's the matter, your face is so ugly, is there something on your mind? Or is it uncomfortable there? ”
At the same time, Lucy asked with great concern.
"Nope! No, it's fine! I just think of the men who died in Africa! And that hated Montgomery! I'm going to give him a hard blow! Avenge the death of our good soldiers! ”
Seeing his wife Lucy, Rommel also poured out his anguish in his heart very frankly.
"Hmmm! You will! I believe you! ”
Lucy replied softly again.
"Thank you! My good Lucy! ”
Rommel was very moved.
But while he and his wife were chatting very harmoniously, his adjutant, Lieutenant Schmidt; Suddenly, in a hurry, out of breath, came to his home to visit.
When he was received by Rommel, he immediately said in a panic: "Yuan, marshal! Something big has happened! Your former Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Hans Spechard, was captured today by the SS in Hillem! And today, at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, the Führer also led people to arrest the Führer's Secretary-General, Martin Baumann, and there was a shootout between them! ”
"What!"
Hearing this, Rommel and his wife Lucy beside him were shocked and stunned; Stunned, in disbelief, exclaimed in unison.
"In addition to these big things, that bastard of Arnim heard about him and his more than 100,000 troops; It has been besieged by the British and American allies on the Bang Kok Peninsula, running out of ammunition and food, and is about to be unable to resist and ready to surrender! ”
"What! That idiot of Arnim is going to surrender to the Anglo-American allies! Is his brain in water? He still has more than 100,000 soldiers! If he surrenders, then the Afrika Korps of our empire will be completely finished! ”
After listening to it, Rommel, who had just come back to his senses a little from the first shocking news, was like a lion whose tail had been stepped on, and roared like thunder.
