Chapter 37: Hand-to-hand (3)
Released on August 5, 1940, it was a rare good weather for the German defenders on the island of Gernzi, and the sun, which had been hiding behind the clouds for more than a week, finally showed its full glory.
With its turquoise blue skies, snow-white puffy clouds, and golden softness and warm sunshine, the English Channel revealed its gentle side to the German soldiers, who had already taken the damp haze of the vicious waves as a specialty of the English Channel.
The memories of all the soldiers guarding the island are deeply engraved with traces of this sunny day in early August, but not because it was a rare sunny day, but because it was a story about a demon.
Released a short brown hair stained with blades of earth and grass, a young face twisted by pain, a pair of blue eyes staring at the sky dullly, dilated pupils reflecting the face of the enemy, slightly open mouth as if he was still praying for the end, whether he was finally calling for his mother or apologizing to his lover, the dead officer could no longer give an answer.
Post "Poor fellow, it looks like he will never be able to go for a walk in Trafalgar Square again. ”
The German captain released the collar of the corpse.
Post "Send this back to England, he's a brave fighter. ”
Captain Releaser pulled open the collar of the other man's uniform, pulled off the British lieutenant's ID card, and then raised his hand and threw it at Sergeant Wolf, who was standing aside.
Issued "Yes, sir. ”
The sergeant neatly grabbed the shiny piece of metal and put it in his chest pocket.
Publish "Weil. Vincent, Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. ”
The official looked at the documents found in the pocket of the other party's shirt.
Post "He's your chief?" ”
The German captain turned his face to the British soldiers who were kneeling with their heads in their hands.
These once-fierce and heroic British commandos are now kneeling on the mud floor, their tawny tweed uniforms stained with mud and blood, looking really embarrassed.
But what I saw in the keen eyes of the German ** officer was that although these British soldiers knelt in front of them in humiliation with their heads in their hands, although they had a look of exhaustion and frustration that could not be concealed, although the wounds under those bandages were still bleeding, but their eyes were still burning with hatred and unyielding flames.
A sneer appeared at the corner of the German captain's mouth.
Post "You, the sergeant, tell me about the position of this lieutenant. ”
Pointing to a British captive with the rank of sergeant, the German captain said that he was the strongest of the captives, with a body as large and sturdy as a rock.
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
The big man was on his knees and shouted, not so much shouting as roaring.
Post "I'm asking you about this British lieutenant's position in your unit, you must know this officer, Sergeant Babbel." ”
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
The German captain, who seemed to be interested in the reaction of the British sergeant, stood up and turned to the strong captive.
Post "Hey, don't you understand my question?" ”
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
Post "Well, you're making it hard for me, sergeant. ”
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
The big guy continued to yell in reply, expressionless.
Post "Wolfe, huh, do you remember anything when you see this scene?" ”
Captain Dispatch turned his face to his men and smiled, but Wolf felt a chill in his heart, and he saw the demon's smile again, and a nightmare that could never be forgotten came to his eyes again.
Publish the "Long ...... Sir...... You won't ...... Sir, please think about it."
Post "Hehe, don't you think that's interesting, Wolf, that's really interesting." ”
The corners of the handsome captain's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled charmingly, but Sergeant Wolf felt his sweat already soak his back.
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
The British sergeant was still roaring mechanically, and it seemed that he was enjoying the feeling of fooling the Germans.
Post "You're such an idiot, Sergeant Babbel. ”
The German captain slowly circled around the sergeant, and the other British prisoners were kicked aside by the German soldiers.
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
Released Babbel shouted loudly again, he felt that he was great now, as great as those legendary heroes.
Post "You want to be a hero, Sgt. Babbel. ”
The German captain asked with a gentle expression, and his tone was as soft as an older brother facing a little brother who had done something wrong.
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
Post "I see, Sergeant Babbel, you're such a stupid bastard. ”
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 34238991. Sir. ”
The German captain smiled and slowly turned behind Babbel.
Post "One last chance, tell me what the officer does in this unit, and then tell me everything you know, and you will be forgiven and rewarded, Babbel." ”
The German captain bent down and grabbed the commando by the hair, and the smiling demon put his head into Sergeant Babbel's ear and said softly.
Published "Imperial Royal Marines Scott. Sergeant Babbel, No. 342......"
Sergeant Babbel failed to finish the last line of his life, and a delicate and sharp German ** sword slashed his throat neatly.
The sturdy Sergeant Babbel fell to the ground clutching his neck with a look of disbelief, the brave commando soldier now twisting and struggling like a fish thrown onto the riverbank, blood spurting from his fingers like a spring.
ReleasedDue to suffocation and pain, Babbel's eyes almost widened out of their sockets, and the despair and reluctance in those eyes made everyone present shudder, no one thought that the blood in the giant's body would be so much and so red, and in a few moments, the dirt under the sergeant's body turned into mud mixed with blood.
Post "Don't forget to say hello to Satan for me in Hell, Sergeant Babbel, my name is Kaoririch, Frank. Captain Kaoririch. ”
Devil, no, Captain Kaoririch whispered as he crouched beside Babbel, who was foaming at the blood.
Post "Okay, who among you wants to do the second." ”
The release demon stood up and shook off the beads of blood stained on the short saber, and the sharp murder weapon shimmered in the early morning sun.
Post "You...... That corporal, can you tell me about the position of that lieutenant and, of course, all the details that you know about this operation? ”
Kaoririch smiled as he tucked his saber into the scabbard at his waist, then pointed to a capable corporal in the group of captives and asked.
Post "You...... You're a demon. ”
The British corporal stared blankly at Babbel who was lying in a pool of blood and twitching, and he turned his face sharply to the captain officer and shouted angrily.
Post "You have violated the Geneva Conventions, you have killed prisoners, you are all devils, murderers, ......"
Released "Horn! ”
With a crisp gunshot, the corporal's forehead was lifted off.
Post "I agree with you, corporal, I have deep admiration for your bravery. ”
Kaoririch sneered and said as he held up an artillery type Luger P08 to the still twitching corpse on the ground.
"But this kind of behavior is so stupid, since I have already violated the Geneva Conventions, then I will not mind violating it a second or third time." ”
He then asked coldly as he looked at the stunned captives.
Post "Who among you will grant this little wish of mine?" Who wants to do the third. ”
Publish--------------------------
"Start a search now, be sure to find the remaining British, and not let them escape from this island." ”
He was mad at his mistake, and after such careful planning and preparation, he was as ashamed as a slap in the face to let some British soldiers break out of the encirclement.
"It's incredible how exactly they managed to get out of our encirclement." ”
Wolfe said on the sidelines.
Release" was my mistake and I gave them a chance to escape. ”
The Captain slammed the map in his hand onto his desk.
Post "I shouldn't have let the artillery fire, I'm really dizzy." The artillery bombardment confused the sight of our soldiers, but gave these Britons a chance to escape, and even more abominable, their commander was among them. ”
After the impressive brutal interrogation that preceded it, the Germans had obtained everything they wanted, and the will of the British captives had been completely destroyed by this brutal German officer.
Released in the face of torture by humans, they may be able to persevere if they are trained. But if you are faced with this kind of inhuman demon, the slightly more psychologically fragile will soon have a captive to give in, and in this case, as long as one captive begins to confess, the others will soon give up, and at that moment the desire for life overwhelms the attachment to honor, and no one wants to die in vain for the sake of gambling.
Published according to the confessions of the British captives, the Germans finally had a general idea of their opponents.
The British unit was released as the historic Gomand Commando. said that it was famous in history, but it was only for Xu Jun, a guy from the future, and at that time, he was just a special forces unit that had just been formed.
The announcement of France's gradual defeat on the battlefield and the heavy losses of the British navy caused Churchill to abandon his plans to re-land in France to fight the Germans.
Release: At present, Britain is mustering all the forces that the British Empire can use to resist at all costs, and is fully preparing for the defense of its homeland.
But waiting for the enemy's attack was a very demoralizing thing, and for Churchill, who had always been known to be a hardliner, it was absolutely intolerable for him, a veteran British Empire colonizer.
Published Churchill was convinced that the noble British Empire would never and would not allow to be defeated by the barbaric Germans. Although the current situation is very unfavorable for Britain, it can even be said that it is at the most critical juncture.
However, Churchill's conviction that the crisis would pass and that the final victory would belong to the Reich and His Majesty the King could not but give a new understanding of Churchill's will, or the imperialist's obsession.
In order to get rid of this passive situation, and to revive the now low morale of the people and the army, Churchill decided to launch a counterattack.
Released, because only a counterattack, only a battle on the enemy's land and a victory can allow the current government to regain the trust of the population.
Even the slightest victory, if it can be a success, can have a huge impact on the negativity in the UK right now.
However, mobilizing a large force to cross the sea to counterattack was completely suicidal, and Churchill still understood this, and he was not crazy to that point.
Not to mention the fact that the current British simply cannot afford to waste a large surplus force, and at the same time the navy has vetoed all similar attempts.
Churchill came up with a skirmish tactic of harassment, using highly trained special commandos to raid and harass the German-controlled coast of France.
If the release fails, Britain can afford to lose it, but if it wins, it will be the most effective encouragement for the current British people.
Churchill ordered the selection of soldiers and officers from the Army and Marine Corps who were experienced in combat or had excellent personal ability to form this unit, and this imaginative guy personally named the unit.
It's a pity that the historical Churchill never showed that he had a talent for it, and like all the bad names he came up with, the unit was given an unaesthetic name...... "Leopard Force".
Fortunately, the sober-minded chiefs of staff at the time vetoed the name, and they didn't care whether the prime minister, who was very enthusiastic about the matter, was happy or not, anyway, this commando team must not be allowed to go to the other side of the channel with a name that would make the Germans laugh and drop their jaws.
The last officer who had participated in the Boer War came up with a name that would satisfy both sides, "Gomand".
Publish the name of the "Gomand" Boer commando, a name that once terrified the regular army of the British Empire.
Of course, now that South Africa is a vassal of the British Empire, it doesn't hurt to use that name, and it can also deter the arrogant Germans.
The thought of releasing the name that once seemed a nightmare to the British team looms over the heads of the German team was also thrilled by the fact that Churchill, who had suffered in the Boer War.
As a result, the Gomand unit was quickly established, and the personnel participating in this force, from soldiers to officers, were all selected from the elite of the native army and marines.
The code of conduct issued to them was clear: launch a sneak attack on German targets off the coast of France.
It was announced that this unit was both highly skilled and well-equipped, and because of the special nature of their mission and the danger of their operations, they were issued with the finest automatic weapons of the British Army.
Most of the soldiers released were given an American-made Thomson 1928, the favorite Chicago typewriter of the American gangsters.
The guy who released this rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute can instantly hit the target into a sieve, although the hit rate is not high, but the power is completely terrifying.
In this battle, the German infantry also understood the power of this guy, and within twenty meters, this automatic weapon was completely the same level as the Grim Reaper's scythe for the German infantry who only had a Mauser rifle.
This is also the reason why those British soldiers were able to tear through the German encirclement and escape, because for German soldiers with only rudimentary fortifications and ordinary infantry firepower, the power of automatic weapons was invincible.
"The commander of the other side is a vile and shameless coward, he must be found, I will solve all this with my own hands." ”
The demon roared loudly as he stood by the corpses of the British soldiers in anger.
