Chapter 613: Brandenburg Detachment (2)
The Brandenburg detachment, which met with the 11th Army, was a special company...... The Brandenburg detachment usually did not have too many people working together, for fear that the target would be too large and that it would be easier to obtain information if the operation was dispersed.
The company commander was a young captain named Erich, and it didn't take long for Qin Chuan to meet this young man in the uniform of a Soviet captain.
"Nice to meet you, Major!" Erich saluted Qin Chuan.
He had come to meet the legendary "legendary sergeant".
"Me too!" Qin Chuan simply replied.
Werner, who was not far away, quipped, "Hey, Captain, are you here to surrender to us?" ”
"Oh!" Erich replied wittily: "It seems that I should have introduced my Soviet name to the major......"
Saying that, Erich pretended to be depressed and bowed in front of Qin Chuan: "Alekseev surrenders to you, honorable major, I want to live!" ”
The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
"So!" Qin Chuan asked Erich as he continued to climb to the heights, "Each of you has two identities?" ”
"Of course!" Erich replied: "In fact, there are not just two identities, we can have three or more identities if necessary!" Of course, we don't carry them with us at the same time, we are who we are when we carry any identity, and sometimes we even carry a letter from 'home' or even a photo of our sweetheart! ”
As he spoke, Erich took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Qin Chuan, and the photo was a Soviet girl.
Erich also took the trouble to introduce: "Her name is Antosha, she is nineteen years old, and she is very beautiful, isn't she?" I'm going to go back and marry her when this battle is over, and her parents died at the hands of the Germans, so I'm always asked to kill a few more Germans on the battlefield......"
"Hey, Captain!" Hearing these words, the baker's scalp tingled: "If I didn't know who you are, I would have thought you were a Bolshevik!" ”
"That's why we survive!" Erich shrugged: "You know, it's always easier to gain their trust if you add a little hatred of the Germans to the introduction!" ”
The soldiers fell silent.
As mentioned earlier, the Wehrmacht was a proud and chivalrous force, so they did not think that the "Brandenburg detachment" was a fair way of fighting.
Of course, Qin Chuan would not have such a burden, because he knew that this combat method had been officially moved to the table in modern times and was highly respected as "special operations".
"Very well, Captain!" Qin Chuan handed the photo back to Erich and praised it sincerely: "Your way of fighting makes the enemy look like a fool, you are the real brave!" ”
Erich couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan in surprise and replied, "I'm glad you said that, Major!" ”
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "We have also disguised ourselves as enemies more than once to sneak in and fight, and we know how much courage it takes. So, hats off to you guys! ”
Only then did the soldiers around them remember that the First Infantry had actually done something similar, and they looked at Erich with more understanding.
With the help of the Brandenburg detachment, the rest of the trip went much smoother.
They can be the safest Scouts at all times.
Sometimes they can even easily find a way to walk through a minefield...... The Brandenburg detachment was casually advancing along the mountain road, when suddenly several Soviet sentries shouted: "Hey, stop, there is a minefield in front of you!" ”
Then Erich shouted in Russian: "Damn, why didn't anyone tell me that there was a minefield, you almost blew us up!" ”
"Who knew someone was going to come here?" The sentry replied, "You should thank us for reminding you!" ”
"Okay!" Erich replied: "How should we get past now?" We still have a mission! Colonel Lestov ordered us to rush to Chitur tomorrow to report! ”
Time, place, people...... Captain Erich's casual remarks matched all of these information, so the Soviets did not suspect their identity at all, and quickly told them how to get out of the minefield.
Needless to say, what would happen next was that after Erich and his party had walked through the minefield, a few people were left behind to pretend to be grateful and close to them, and the main force continued to walk towards the outpost, and then suddenly attacked when they were all ready...... A dangerous place guarded by dozens of Soviet troops easily fell into the hands of the Germans.
Erich and the others even took control of several officers, extracting the information they needed from them before taking them out.
In addition, the 11th Army was able to replenish itself with a batch of supplies from warehouses, which were not much, but they were very precious in the Caucasus Mountains.
Actually, this will also make the Tyulenev command hear a little wind.
Although none of these posts were able to send out the warning of the attack, the fact that the posts and checkpoints had not reported to the command for a long time was like disappearing, which still caused some doubts in the command.
But Tyulenev once again ignored this suspicion.
"That must have been the work of the German Brandenburg troops!" Tyulenev said: "Because they didn't even have time to send a telegram warning!" ”
The Brandenburg troops had long been famous by this time, and Tyulenev was certainly no stranger to it.
The staff officer agreed, and at the same time said: "And it should be the Brandenburg troops operating in the North Caucasus Mountains!" ”
The staff will make such a judgment because there are no problems with the posts and checkpoints in the southern part of the Caucasus Mountains, of course they do not know...... In this section the 11th Army was bypassed by rock climbing.
From this, Tyulenev and his staff officers quickly came to the conclusion that the German troops in the Caucasus were only small scattered forces, and it was enough to keep other posts and checkpoints on guard.
What they did not expect was that just when they were jumping to conclusions and even finding an excuse to think they were perfect, the main forces of the 11th Army had already crossed the Caucasus Mountains to the woodlands behind Baku.
However, Qin Chuan and the others were not in a hurry to go down the mountain, nor were they in a hurry to attack Baku.
Because it was dawn, it was not suitable for a surprise attack.
On the other hand, it was the 11th Army, which had been exhausted from several days of long marches, which seriously affected its combat effectiveness.
So, they rested in the woods for half a day.
Just wait for night to fall before continuing their advance towards the Baku oil field of their dreams.
And at this time, the Soviet troops in Baku did not know anything about this.
