Chapter 530: Occupy the Vault
Favre-Jolly is the cashier of the Banque de France, and he keeps the gold, and he has to take on his responsibilities before the gold is removed!
Of course, this is a long time later, one day, when he was asked, he proudly said that although France was still under German rule at that time, many inside stories could be made public, such as in this incident, although he was from the perspective of France, but there was no shame.
Of course, this was his personal rhetoric, in fact, at that time he was frightened, his legs were all weak and he couldn't run.
Let someone who has never been on the battlefield try the rain of bullets on the battlefield? Nine times out of ten, you'll pee your pants.
And now, too, he was of course afraid that he, a senior member of the Banque de France, would suddenly be in danger of death.
He couldn't move, he just lay on the back of a flower pot, listening to the sound of machine gun fire, listening to the flower pot above his head, being beaten to the core, at this moment, he thought that his life had come to an end.
"Buzz, buzz." The engine was ringing, and the Panther 2 tank, after starting down, drove all the way to the entrance to the vault, where it stopped.
As long as it's here, it's able to hold here, and no one will ever take it away from the German army again!
On this glider, more than forty fighters came down, and they quickly took control of the place, and several recoilless guns were quickly moved out and moved to the top of the manor, on the machine gun position just now, at this time, the machine gunner was already lying on the machine gun and did not move.
Behind, one after another gliders descended, and more and more people and tanks joined in, with the entire manor as the core, within a radius of one kilometer, the first line of defense was arranged.
At this point, they didn't have time to check the gold in the vault, and they had to block the first round of the French's counterattack!
They landed at the core of the French defense, and at this time, the French soldiers guarding outside would react immediately and rush inside!
They're going to stop this first wave of counterattacks!
Standing on the commanding heights, Skorzny looked around, as he guessed, the French soldiers began to assemble on their side, and now, use heavy fire to tell the French soldiers how strong they really are!
"Quick, quick!" The soldiers, who had just been guarding outside, were at first overwhelmed when they spotted the glider flying overhead.
After all, they received orders to guard the road, without warrants, and not to let a single person pass, but they did not receive orders on how to deal with gliders in the sky.
So, they didn't even open fire, and it wasn't until the glider landed inside the manor and the shots rang out that they realized something was wrong.
So, the officer who led the team finally did not hesitate, and those who put out the fire stopped fighting the fire and went to the manor together.
However, they didn't have to go far before they saw a terrible scene.
A Panther tank, just on their way to the manor, the turret of the tank turning, and then pointing at them.
"Da-da-da-da." The coaxial machine guns on the turret were firing furiously at the French soldiers, and as soon as they rushed up, they were repulsed!
In fact, only a few people died, but, when they saw the German tanks, they knew that with their own abilities, they could not pass at all, and they no longer had the courage to fight.
The gunshots rang out sporadically all around, and within a few minutes, they calmed down again.
The "Griffin" special forces, without difficulty, repelled the first attack of the French.
Easily cleaning them up, Skorzny's mood relaxed for a while, he lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth and took a puff, and then said to the person in front of him, "How is it?" Do you open the door to the vault, or do we open it? ”
All the people who did not run away were gathered up and imprisoned in a room, and these people, of course, were useful.
For example, when it is critical, you can tie them to the front of the tank, bet them on the defensive line, and see if the French dare to attack.
After sweeping around, Skorzny ordered Favre Jolly to be pulled out and taken to another room.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Listening to the other party's fluent French, Favre Jolly also responded in French.
"Don't play tricks with me, I'm impatient!" Skorzny's voice raised a little, his scarred face was so striking that it made people particularly frightened at first sight, he looked fierce, threw the cigarette butt aside, and took out a saber.
He slowly placed the saber on Favre Jolly's face: "If you don't open the door, then I will make your face look better than mine." Well, cut two round openings on both sides, and then prop them up, just like the gills of a fish. ”
The saber was pressed against his face, and the chill above could be felt, and Favre Ruoli immediately confessed.
In fact, it was quite easy to identify him, even if Skorzny did not remember him through the photographs beforehand, it would be obvious that he was different from the others.
When a person is in a high position, he will have that kind of special momentum on his body, which others can't imitate, besides, just look at the pants he is wearing, which are still trimmed with gold, this must be an executive!
If Favre Joli can open the door to the vault, then he will save a lot of trouble, and if he doesn't open it, he will bring enough explosives to blow the doors open.
Now, he needs to make sure that the target of his attack is wrong, although the tight protection around it is enough to show that this is an important place, but now, he still needs to see the gold to be fully sure.
Even if all of your own troops are killed, you must hold on until the arrival of the follow-up troops!
In Skorzny's mind, he thought that they must hold out for a long time, after all, the army in the north, even if it came all the way along the coastline, would not be able to do it for three or five days, and once the treasury here was occupied by his own side, it was conceivable that the entire French second-line troops in the south would run over!
Their action this time is definitely a big hornet's nest!
And that's exactly what happened.
As for the fact that there were secret vaults and large quantities of gold in the estates on the outskirts of here, apart from the infallible commander of the troops who were specifically responsible, there was only Admiral François Darlan, who had secretly come to Brest and personally directed the transfer of gold, and at this time he was the chief of the General Staff of the Navy.
All the participants were appointed by Dar Lang, and he knew how important this matter was, but now, this sudden arrival of the news made Dar Lang stunned for a moment.
The German airborne troops occupied the manor, their own treasury, in which thousands of tons of gold were occupied!
