Chapter 561: To Portsmouth

Compared with the landing operation at Dover, the newly sudden landing at Portsmouth by the German army was much simpler, because the garrison British army did not expect that the German army would choose Portsmouth at all, and Dover had already started, which made Churchill's defense of Portsmouth even more relaxed.

As a result, the front-line fighting in Portsmouth can be described as a one-sided situation.

And this also provided an opportunity for Hans and his party to leave London by truck.

"Report to Captain, we are approaching a fork in the road ahead, one to the left, where we can join the Allied forces in the Dover area, and one to the right, where we can meet our forces in the direction of Portsmouth. Captain, which way do we go? A soldier reported to Hans.

Hans took the map and studied it carefully, and he analyzed as he looked at it: "According to the information obtained before departure, our army should be more powerful in the area around Portsmouth, which means that the British army will be weaker there. I think Portsmouth would be a better fit for us. ”

"Yes, I completely agree with Captain Hans, and my suggestion is to go to Portsmouth." Wren chimed in.

"That's it, let's take the road on the left and head southwest to Portsmouth. You go and tell Buck, who is driving the truck behind, to stop going in the wrong direction. Captain Hans said to the soldier.

"Yes, Captain, I'll do it right away." With that, the soldier waved his flag out the window for the vehicle behind him to stop, and trotted down to convey Captain Hans's order.

Next, they will use the forged pass to make their way to Portsmouth, until the police in London discover that Moseley, who is under house arrest, has already been dropped.

In fact, it was already four hours before the British discovered that Moseley had been taken by the special forces unit, and Hans had already reached the area of Epsom, more than 200 miles away from London.

However, with the attention of the top brass in London, their forged passes are no longer useful.

London, of course, was very annoyed by this incident, and ordered all checkpoints along the way to be strictly checked, paying special attention to small units of about 30 men. If discovered, the unit is immediately detained and reported to the higher authorities for support. If you encounter fire resistance from the other side, you can destroy them immediately without having to report it first.

Of course, that's what to say. If there is a fight between the two sides. Not a single company of British government troops, or a battalion of the National Guard, could never stop this special platoon.

But Hans's group, still ignorant of these conditions for the time being, still swaggered towards Portsmouth.

As they made their way to a checkpoint in the Guildford area, the unexpected happened.

Hans still showed his forged passes to these people as he had done at the beginning, but this time, they didn't seem to buy it.

"The people in the car, all come down for me and be carefully checked!" A Second Lieutenant of the National Guard at the checkpoint yelled.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? How? Are our passes working? Hans feigned surprise and asked the British second lieutenant, who was two ranks below himself.

"Captain, let me ask you, how many people are in your troops? Where are you going? And what are the tasks performed? The second lieutenant asked Hans unceremoniously.

"We were a whole formation, 30 men in all, and we had come from London to prepare to go to Portsmouth to resist the Germans there." Hans rightly stumbled.

"That's right, we're probably looking for you." The second lieutenant replied firmly.

"What do you mean? I can tell you, you are responsible for delaying our time and allowing the Germans to land successfully! Do you think I'm going to Portsmouth on holiday? I'm going to the front to bleed! If you detain us for no reason, I must report to my superiors and hold you accountable! ”

Captain Hans shouted at the militia lieutenant, and the sound did scare the other side into a few cold fights.

After listening to Hans's words, the second lieutenant visibly wavered. After all, no matter what the other party says, he is also an officer from the regular army, and there is still a big difference between him and a wild road officer like himself.

It is a reason that the German SS rank is different from the Wehrmacht rank. In the United Kingdom, the rank of the National Guard is also different from that of the British Army.

It's just that these British self-defense forces do not have the same background as the German SS, and there is a FΓΌhrer behind them. They were really just a bunch of militiamen, cannon fodder for Churchill's capture.

After all, the second lieutenant still did not have enough confidence to answer Captain Hans: "Captain, it's not that I won't let you pass, this is an order sent to us from above, telling us to leave every 30-man unit, waiting for the army to send officers to come to verify, and after the approval of the superiors, we can let you go." ”

"Am I not an officer in the Army!" Hans feigned anger and yelled at the lieutenant.

This roar made the militia lieutenant tremble.

Hans saw that the intimidation had some effect on the young lieutenant, and continued: "Well, I can wait for your superiors here. But I can tell you that a general on the front line in Portsmouth was injured by a bomb in the war, and is now undergoing surgery and is in urgent need of antibiotics, and our platoon is responsible for delivering medicine to this general by the way while going to the front line. ”

With that, Hans rolled up the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly in the car.

But the second lieutenant outside the car, as soon as he heard what Hans had finished, suddenly beads of sweat as big as raindrops appeared on his forehead, and drop by drop remained on his forehead.

"What can I do?" The lieutenant thought as he walked around in place.

It was indeed a difficult problem for him, with the order of the upper peak on one side and the life of a general on the other. He didn't seem to be able to mess with either side.

But...... If he forcibly "didn't see this unit delivering medicine", would everything be solved soon?

Finally, he made up his mind and said to Hans: "Forget it, I will make an exception and let you go, the general's life is still important, you should hurry up and send the medicine!" I'll act like I haven't met you. ”

"That's right, how can we be infiltrated by the Germans? Do you look at our fluent English, like Germans? Hans quipped, "Then we'll go first, thank you brothers for your understanding." ”

With that, Hans and his men continued their journey to Portsmouth.

"I didn't expect the British to react quite quickly, and it only took a few hours to find out that Moseley had been dropped, and now he is still looking for us." Inside the car, Hans spoke to Wren, who was driving.

"Anyway, can you roll down the window first? The smoke rings you spit out are almost smoking me to death. Wren said to Hans, who had rolled up the window for a cold look, "But your performance just now is really good, I almost believed the nonsense that you are going to deliver medicine to a British general." ”

"Hahaha, how's it going? Do you have to ask the Berlin film industry to send me the best actor award and ask me to participate in the next "Captain Germany"? Hans quipped as he rolled down the window.

"I think it's okay, go back and ask when the filming of "Captain Germany 2" will start? ...... Jokes aside, though, I think it is necessary for us to rearrange our forces in order to cope with the next British inspection of us. After the joke, Wren said to Hans in a serious manner.

"Yes, that's right. I'm thinking about this as well. We're sure we'll have to come across the British in the future, and we can't get through it so easily every time. Do you have any good suggestions? Hans cleared his throat and asked Wren.

"I suggest that we split up our convoys, one car of 15 people, and march towards Portsmouth in two ways, one with you and the other with me, and we should not be too far apart, about 10 miles in front and behind, so that we can take care of each other if something happens." Wren suggested to Hans.

"Well, that's a good idea. This should prevent the British from detaining us according to the standard of 30 people. It just so happens that I have two forged passes here, and one for each of us is just enough. Hans said to Wren with a smile. Then I'll go to the car in the back, you're in charge of the car, we'll keep our distance, and we'll be in touch with the radio if there's anything. ”

"All right, Captain Hans, I wish you and me good luck and a nice trip." Wren smiled and changed his words, calling Hans by his real German name.

In addition to changing their names, soon, they will be able to take off their childish British military uniforms and change back into handsome German uniforms!
