Chapter 607: Sleeper Operator
"You mean they don't know how the chief of staff died? In the absence of a choice, the case can only be closed with an accidental death, and Hamestan is completely out of the way? ”
"Yes, therefore, Khamestein was able to retreat with his whole body, and with lightning speed, appointed a new chief of staff, deputy division commander, minister of military affairs, purged the staff officers and their guards brought by the former chief of staff, and sent them to the company as soldiers, and those who did not behave well were immediately executed,"
Stalin asked: "When the 117th Division was full, it was almost 16,000 people, what is the situation now?" ”
"Their life is very difficult, the group army only gave them 7,000 salaries, and they have not been paid for two months, Khamestein still left 8,000 people on the head, and now I give them a little money and ask them to recover to 16,000 as soon as possible, they promised, immediately began to recruit troops, moreover, mainly recruit veterans of the 117, 118, and 119 divisions, they believe, to develop into a strengthened division within two months,"
Stalin was stunned: "The reinforced division, it can be four brigades, each brigade is 9,000 to 10,000 people, almost 40,000 people, such a force, it is an army, it is quite terrifying,"
"At this point, even the group army is also a bogeyman, and now, Khamestein also understands this truth, if you want not to be bullied, you must be strong, I have contacted Khamestein, if there is a war between the Soviet Union and Germany, he will report the exact location to me to avoid misunderstandings between us,"
Stalin nodded: "This connection should be strengthened, their movements, that is, our intelligence, are very valuable to us, this clue must be controlled, can not be relaxed, can not be broken, continue to say, what kind of troops is the third arm?" ”
"This force is the armored brigade of the former Berlin garrison command, the commander of the armored brigade is one of my guards, the name is Dietrich, I found it in a village in northern Poland, they are about forty kilometers from the Soviet-Polish border, they have a large number of infantry in front of them, they belong to the 199th Panzer Army under the jurisdiction of Army Group Center,"
Stalin was really taken aback by this news: "The armored forces have advanced to the border, and this problem is so big that it cannot but be paid enough attention, and what is your control over this army?" ”
"When I found the brigade commander, I found it in a confinement room, because Hitler had a verbal rule that all officers who participated in the coup d'état should remain in their original positions and could not be dismissed or executed for any reason, and this measure undoubtedly ensured the stability of the army, but other officers rejected the officers who participated in the coup d'état and always wanted to kill them, and Dietrich was one of them."
"This brigade has basically completed a major blood change, the brigade commander has been imprisoned, the commanders, deputy regiment commanders, and chiefs of staff of the three regiments have been arrested, a new batch of people have been replaced, the original brigade headquarters and regiment headquarters staff have all been replaced, and of the ten people who were imprisoned, only one was tortured to death, and the other nine are still tenaciously alive."
This is also a kind of persecution, and Beria is very sympathetic to the plight of these people, but there is nothing he can do to help.
Su Junsheng continued: "I found Dietrich in the confinement room, two guards, still beating Dietrich, one of the legs has been broken, and they are still beating, because they boasted in front of the chief of staff that before the shift change, they must have killed the brigade commander Dietrich." Time was urgent, so I immediately killed one of them and forced the remaining guards to carry Dietrich out of the detention center."
Stalin interjected again: "Don't be too verbose, just talk about the result,"
"I asked the guards to carry Dietrich on their backs, walked into the brigade headquarters, and directly killed the deputy brigade commander, the chief of staff, and controlled everyone at the brigade headquarters, and then, Dietrich called the commander of the first regiment and the first company, Sturmerk, and said two words: action. I just learned that they already had a plan, and they were just waiting for an opportunity to strike back,"
Stalin nodded: "This brigade commander still has brains, either he doesn't fight back, and a counterattack is a success." ”
"Yes, Dietrich contacted several more companies, worked together, arrested the new commanders, deputy commanders, chiefs of staff of the regiments, released all the old regimental commanders, deputy regimental commanders, regimental chiefs of staff, and Dietrich quickly took control of the armored brigades."
"If you are prepared, you can control it quickly, this brigade commander is a talent,"
"This incident was later full of twists and turns, and the chief of staff of the group army headquarters also sent four commandos to attack the brigade headquarters of the armored brigade and three regiment headquarters, as a result, the armored brigade was fully prepared to annihilate the four commandos in one fell swoop, and each commando team left only one alive, so that they could go back and expose the chief of staff of the group army, so that the chief of staff of the army was removed from his post and escorted back to the headquarters of the group army, and he was killed by me again, and the armored brigade was temporarily safe,"
"How do you contact them in the future?" Now Stalin was very concerned about this issue,
"Dietrich was very direct, and in order to strengthen the contact, he suggested that the Soviet Union send an operator to their brigade headquarters to establish contact,"
Stalin hurriedly instructed: "Beria, hurry up and find a candidate, and make the trip immediately, this is a double win, we can be the first to know the orders of the German army." ”
Beria immediately said: "I'll pick an operator with a little latent experience to go to Germany,"
Su Junsheng added: "My opinion, select four operators, two to Monte Cristo, two to the armored brigade. ”
"Yes, Dietrich contacted several more companies, worked together, arrested the new commanders, deputy commanders, chiefs of staff of the regiments, released all the old regimental commanders, deputy regimental commanders, regimental chiefs of staff, and Dietrich quickly took control of the armored brigades."
"If you are prepared, you can control it quickly, this brigade commander is a talent,"
"This incident was later full of twists and turns, and the chief of staff of the group army headquarters also sent four commandos to attack the brigade headquarters of the armored brigade and three regiment headquarters, as a result, the armored brigade was fully prepared to annihilate the four commandos in one fell swoop, and each commando team left only one alive, so that they could go back and expose the chief of staff of the group army, so that the chief of staff of the army was removed from his post and escorted back to the headquarters of the group army, and he was killed by me again, and the armored brigade was temporarily safe,"
