Chapter 551: I didn't have time to say it

Wren now knew why they were singled out by the captain for training, and the reason was simple, they were all fluent in English.

And now, Wren's paratrooper squad, as a member of the special mixed formation, followed their former captain as a member of the SS, secretly parachuted into a small field behind Dover on the night of the first day of landing.

Because of the extremely small scale and the fact that they had secretly landed at night, Rennes' whereabouts were successfully concealed under the cover of the fierce fighting on the front line.

Including Rennes' paratrooper squad, this airborne detachment had a total of 4 squads, and the other 3 infantry squads were from SS operatives. Without exception, every member of this infantry platoon had the merit of speaking English very fluently, and all with a native London accent.

The rank of captain is still captain, but he changed into a British military uniform and used the rank of British captain.

And Wren and the others also changed into a set of neat and tidy British military uniforms.

The German soldiers, now all dressed in light green "Blank Whitening Agent" uniforms, each wore a gas mask on their chest, plus a 50-round magazine pouch with a 303-inch cartridge magazine. They were also armed with a 1939 trenching tool, a Mk steel helmet, and an excellent and reliable Lee Anfield III rifle.

In fact, it was not difficult to get the equipment of this platoon from the hands of more than 100,000 surrendered British expeditionary forces. The only thing that has a fly in the ointment is that these uniforms and configurations are for the British expeditionary army, which is slightly different from what most troops in Britain wear now.

However, thanks to Gort and Montgomery, they still desperately rescued about 4,000 expeditionary personnel. Therefore, on the territory of the United Kingdom, there are still people who wear this military uniform.

And because of this insignificant British expeditionary force, when it retreated, it was defeated and extremely disorganized, and their numbers were scattered and mixed. Therefore, in the United Kingdom, Wren and his entourage only need to rely on this uncommon, but theoretically existing military uniform, to casually fool most of the British National Guard's interrogations.

In addition, the fake British infantry platoon was equipped with a cloth-wheeled light machine gun, operated by an SS machine gunner from the platoon headquarters, and the platoon command squad also carried a two-inch cannon, plus fifteen shells, carried by five soldiers from each of the three SS squads.

And each squad also carried 2 British grenades per person, and the squad leader carried 3, ensuring sufficient combat strength.

It can be said that in the current Britain, this well-trained and well-equipped "fake British platoon" is already a rare elite unit wearing British military uniforms in Britain.

After all, in order to make up for the huge number of expeditionary forces lost in Dunkirk and Norway, Churchill had to resort to the most efficient, but least effective, expansionary expansion.

As a consequence, Britain's defensive forces were expanded from three and a half infantry divisions and one understaffed armored division to 21 infantry divisions, 44 independent infantry regiments, and a fully manned but under-equipped armored division.

Many of these new British units, which have absorbed a large number of the so-called National Guard, have been trained for less than two months. And with the huge increase in numbers, often in the British Home Army, a newly formed company may not be able to get a mortar, and a platoon-sized unit like Wren may only get one grenade at most.

Therefore, don't look at the number of people in Rennes, they only have a platoon now, but even if the identities of the British troops who are being checked are identified, they are sure that they can quickly annihilate the British troops of the same size, or even a higher scale.

Almost all the British forces around Dover that could be mobilized were now being taken to the front against the French and Italian landing forces. The National Guard, the so-called independent regiments, was also pulled to intercept the German airborne divisions, and the cannon fodder of the so-called delayed German army was transferred in a centralized manner.

In other words, as long as Rennes and their luck are not extremely bad, it is likely that they will not encounter a large number of British troops along the way.

"I believe you have all taken the orders given to us from above in mind." As the platoon commander, the captain, who was not serious on weekdays, looked very serious at this time and emphasized in a low voice: "Everyone remember, here, you all have to call the new names of the people around you." In the future, you can call me Captain, call me platoon commander, or call me Jackson. But if anyone calls me Hans, I'll report it back and make a name for it! ”

"Hey, didn't he mention the name 'Hans' himself now?" Buck, a muscleman who has gone under the alias Jack, whispers to Wren, who goes by the alias Ander Ed.

"Jack! Do you think I can't hear? Captain Hans, who was very hearing, pulled his head and yelled at Buck in a low voice, "I'm serious now, don't interrupt." ”

It's no wonder that the captain is uncharacteristically serious and rigid this time, after all, the team he led is almost completely behind enemy lines, and it is impossible to get any reinforcements if something happens. And their important task cannot tolerate even the slightest failure.

Speaking of this mission, in fact, Wren knew it very well before he set off.

They demanded that a fascist leader be rescued from prison, and of course, this leader was not Mr. Mussolini.

Because of the continued implementation of the Sea Lion Project, the in-depth rescue operation of the German special forces, which originally appeared at the end of World War II, was brought forward to March 1941.

And the object of this group of German elites was also changed from the leader of the Italian right to the leader of the British right, a man named Oswald Moseley.

Taking out a photograph, the captain once again emphasized for everyone: "This is Mr. Oswald Moseley, the former Minister of Labor of Great Britain and the founder of the British Fascist Alliance." I used my SS contacts to find out that the FΓΌhrer had been sitting next to him at a wedding at the house of our Minister of Propaganda. I even heard that even the Prime Minister of Italy is a close friend of him. ”

With a smile, the captain took out a lighter and burned the photo in public: "Do you remember the appearance of this important person?" This operation must be successful, messed up, we can't afford to be responsible! ”

"Captain," Wren reminded with a raised hand, "We've heard you say this on the plane before, so there's no need to repeat it." I think what we need to do now is to get two trucks as soon as possible so that we can get everybody here. It's too late to walk to our destination. ”

"Ahem," realizing that he had missed the point, the captain hurriedly coughed twice: "I actually thought of all of this, but I didn't have time to say it, I didn't have time to say it." ”
