In Montenegro, in the north-central part of the Balkans, Hausser and Heinrich were in their operational command room, talking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The guerrillas and the People's Army in Tieto have been almost wiped out by us, should we immediately withdraw from the Montenegrin area? The Battle of Sicily has begun! ”

Heinrich asked anxiously at Hausser, who was looking at a map of Romania.

"Hmmm! I would also like to evacuate here immediately and fight there in Sicily, but so far we have not received an order from the Führer to evacuate! ”

"And the last time we attacked Tieto's headquarters, we hadn't killed him or captured him! It is not known whether he continued to hide in Yugoslavia, or if he had already gone into hiding in other parts of Bosnia, or if he had fled to other countries! ”

Hauser shook his head and said.

"Yes! The intelligence collected by our intelligence network here in Yugoslavia under the leadership of Tieto is not effective at all! And there are quite a few misguided messages! ”

"But I didn't expect that the last large-scale surprise attack would allow this cunning iron to escape!"

Heinrich also responded a little unwillingly.

"The last time he let him escape, there was no way to do it, but we now have more urgent things to deal with immediately, that is, we also have to deal with the fourteen integrated Italian divisions and four missing divisions deployed by Mussolini in Yugoslavia immediately."

"Because now Mussolini has been imprisoned by the King of Italy, and his whereabouts are not understood for the time being, although Marshal Rommel has led his troops to surround Rome, but in case something unexpected happens, we still immediately dispose of these Italian troops!"

Hauser abruptly changed the subject.

"Hmmm! If you don't talk about it, that's what I think and do! It's just that what should we do with these Italian divisions now! There are quite a few of them! ”

Heinrich nodded in agreement.

"Co-opt and reorganize them! Those who don't want to fight, seize their weapons and equipment immediately, and tell them to get out of my way right away! It's better than wasting food in our troops, and ruining our morale! Of course, there are also those Italian troops who resist, or who want to work against us, and immediately annihilate them, leaving not a single one! ”

Hausser replied without thinking about it.

"Hmmm! Then I get it! ”

Heinrich nodded solemnly in agreement.

"In addition Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Sanjak; and Montenegro, Herzegovina, Lika, Kolton, and Banya, and we also need to have the intelligence services send more intelligence officers over to quickly find out where Tieto and the remnants of his troops are hiding! ”

"We must get rid of them as soon as possible, transfer all the German troops in Yugoslavia out of here, and wait for the Führer's new orders!"

Hauser added.

"I'll inform you of this soon, I must put some pressure on those intelligence departments to make their reconnaissance faster, otherwise it's so slow, I'm afraid the Sicilian campaign is over, and we still have to stay here and fight guerrilla warfare with that guerrilla leader!"

Heinrich agreed.

"By the way, how many troops do we have on hand now?"

Hauser asked suddenly.

"When we surrounded Montenegro, we mobilized about 130,000 people, and now there are almost 400,000 people; Although there were a lot of Italian troops and puppet troops from other client states, our German troops also had more than 100,000 people coming! ”

"But many of these German units were taken from the Wehrmacht and the SS!"

Heinrich thought for a moment and said.

"Hmmm! What a surprise to me! When I first received the Führer's order to come to Serbia to deal with Tieto, I thought that there was only the Führer's own Air Cavalry Regiment and the SS12 Hitler Youth Panzer Division! ”

"I really didn't expect that I was now a commander leading more than 400,000 troops, this is really a difficult opportunity!"

Hearing this, Hausser was slightly stunned for a moment, and then grinned happily.

"Hey! Then I want to congratulate you on becoming a general! ”

Seeing this, Heinrich was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

Hausser just smiled and didn't respond to the question.

"Ahh I almost forgot that before I came to you, I received a big piece of information, that the British and American headquarters intended to provide the partisans and the KPA with about 160,000 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 700 tanks; and 200 aircraft, 7,000 artillery pieces, and a large number of grenades and other weapons and equipment. ”

Heinrich suddenly remembered.

"Hmmm! Why did those high-level officials in Britain and the United States suddenly provide so many weapons and equipment to these foreign guerrillas? What are they having? ”

Hearing such important information, Hausser just asked rhetorically with a strange and confused expression on his face.

"Because they did not give them weapons and equipment for nothing, the first requirement is that they hold back our hundreds of thousands of troops in Serbia and Yugoslavia, and prevent us from having extra troops to be deployed on the Sicilian battlefield to participate in the battle!"

"The second is to ask these partisans to find a way to seize the weapons and ammunition in the weapons warehouses of the Italian troops who are ready to abandon the war or surrender!"

Heinrich explained.

"Hey! I said that these British and American high-level people do not have such good people, everything has a price! ”

Hausser looked at Heinrich with such eyes and smiled.

"Then how do you plan to deal with the support of these weapons and equipment from the British and American high-level?"

Heinrich also said with a smile.

"Kill them before Tieto and his troops get their hands on them, of course!"

Hauser replied in the affirmative.

"In that case, then I'll go out and straighten out those Italian troops first! Lest these armies who like to drag their feet, or are war-weary and like to be stabbed in the back, give us a stab in the back! ”

Heinrich said calmly.

Hausser nodded in agreement, and then he went back to looking at his battle map.

As for Heinrich, he also left the operational command room immediately, and acted quickly to give the order to reorganize the Italian troops.

In a short time, many Italian units were disarmed, disposed of, or reorganized.

However, in the midst of this rectification, a small number of Italian troops resisted, so they engaged in a short but fierce battle with the German army led by Heinrich.
