The tank stopped at the edge of the woods, Xu Jun was the first to jump off the tank with his dexterity, and the head of the empire crossed his waist and looked at the woods in front of him, with a look of ambition on his face.

Dougan climbed out of the car through the communications hatch and turned to take the two MP40s that Tysenhowen handed out from the hatch, as well as two canvas triple magazine bags with straps. Tysenhofen then climbed out of the turret, carrying a scoped 98K rifle in addition to his cowhide briefcase, which he never left with him. Randolph took the key and locked all the hatches, casually removed the MG34 machine gun from the gun rack at the rear of the conning tower, and pulled out the entire cartridge belt from the magazine, which was a little too long, so he still circled around his shoulder.

Speaking of tank locks, all tank hatches in the German army at that time had their own small door locks, mainly to prevent unrelated personnel from entering the car and damaging the precision equipment in the tank when the tank crew was not in the car, and also to prevent some soldiers with unclean hands and feet from stealing the personal belongings left in the car by the car crew.

Don't look at the German Army's strict military discipline, in fact, no matter how strict the military discipline is, it still can't put an end to some petty theft in the army, some soldiers are originally poor in society, and some are on the battlefield to take those ownerless things smoothly, when the personal moral shackles are broken, then it is almost impossible to return to the original point.

In particular, when encountering an officer who behaves inappropriately himself, of course, they will not restrain the behavior of the soldiers, and some of the infantrymen of bad character will attack all the targets that are not their own units, and take everything they can see, and the behavior of these people before they are sent to the punishment camp by the gendarmes has already caused a rather bad effect inside and outside the army.

For this kind of thieves in the army, Xu Jun put forward the principle of zero tolerance, as long as one is found, he will deal with one, no matter whether he has established dazzling feats in the war, once he is found to have violated the relevant military regulations, he will be sent to a punishment camp or a concentration camp according to the severity of his crime, and the difference between the two is that the former can continue to retain military status and honor, and the latter will become mud that can be trampled on at will.

Xu Jun carried the 98K rifle, and looked at the small hunting group under his command with some tears and laughter, this posture really didn't look like going to hunt any grouse, who had ever seen a machine gun hunting, saying that he was going to encircle and suppress the guerrillas.

Moreover, two SS and two army troops, one of them is wearing a straight marshal's uniform, and he is holding army standard weapons in his hands, this picture does look a little weird.

"There's a path here, my Führer." Randolph took the lead in pushing aside the low bushes on the edge of the woods, his machine gun strapping and his hands level.

"Watch your step, there's a ditch here." Dogen strode over the natural trench and turned around and stretched out his hand towards Xu Jun.

"Take care of yourself, Dogen." The Führer politely refused the colonel's help, and he jumped over the ditch with a leap.

"Where to go now, I don't see the prey here." Xu Jun held on to a tree trunk, raised his eyes and looked into the forest, he could see that this was an artificially planted red pine forest, the arrangement of the trees seemed to be very regular, the trunks maintained the same spacing between them, and a neat alleyway was arranged, and the ground was covered with a layer of broken branches and fallen leaves, and it felt like a woolen carpet under his feet.

"There's a forest trail that looks like it's always been used." Randolph shouted ahead.

Because it has been trampled on for a long time, the soil on the road is relatively solid, revealing a black-brown soil foundation, and there are not many weeds growing on the road, so it is easy to identify when compared with the ground on the side.

"I'm sure this isn't a beast path that a beast has stepped on, and I haven't heard of any large beasts in this place. These traces are left by ordinary leather shoes, which should be the footprints left by the surrounding villagers, and these footprints are obviously left by German military boots, perhaps the police patrol of the forest ranger. Dogan looked very experienced, and he crouched next to a few footprints on the road, pointing out his findings to Xu Jun.

"If we shoot, will it attract their attention, I don't want to cause trouble." Xu Jun raised his concerns. "Probably not, these footprints should have been left a week ago, and no new footprints were found. What we need to worry about now is that we may encounter nearby villagers and hunters, and it's best not to hunt them like grouses. Dougan smiled and comforted the Führer.

"Alright, now let's move on, remember to mark the side of the road, don't get lost here." Xu Jun was happy again, this was the first time he had hunted in the forest since he came to this era, and the head of the empire was now as excited as a schoolboy's spring outing.

"I carry a compass." Tysenhofen patted the map bag on his waist.

"Okay, go ahead, be quiet, and don't scare the prey away." The Reich Führer waved his hand and made a gesture of searching forward.

Four German officers formed a standard infantry search formation and slowly followed the forest path deeper into the woods.

"Report to Sir, General Weirle ordered us to continue our search, and he and the others will arrive shortly." A signal soldier of the Guard Flag Brigade, carrying a radio, shouted to Karn. Feng. Captain Starck reported.

"Are you sure?" Stark ignored the signal soldier and lowered his head to a sergeant crouched on the side of the road.

"I can assure you that this is the trace left by the No. 4 tank, and it is a little deeper than the regular No. 4 tank." The sergeant measured the track indentation on the dirt road with his fingers.

"The Type R tank is particularly heavily armoured, four tons heavier than the Type 4G, and looking at the zigzag shape of the edge of this track, I can be sure that this is the mark left by a Type 4 R tank." The SS sergeant replied confidently.

"That is, it was left by the Führer, and they drove off the road from here..."Stark touched his chin, looking like a detective.

"Where does this road lead?" Starck turned back to the other sergeant.

"The map shows... Road to Vinsdorf. The sergeant reported with a map in his hand.

"What's there, Vinstorf?" Stark turned to look at the lieutenant standing on the other side.

"The Army Training Base, the Armored Forces School, the Army Communications Center, the command post of the General Headquarters, and a small town with 500 inhabitants." The lieutenant replied with his fingers crossed.

"What is the Führer going there for?" Starck took off his military hat and scratched his head vigorously.

"Maybe the Führer wants to conduct a surprise inspection to see the combat readiness of those sectors?" The sergeant major chimed in.

"Yes, yes, yes, you have a point, it seems that this is the reason, the Führer wants to launch a surprise attack, it is very logical. The Führer always liked to surprise us, and in order to find out the real situation of those departments, he hid from all of us, and the only flaw was this dirt road, which inadvertently revealed his whereabouts, otherwise we would have chased all the way to Berlin.

What a remarkable tactic, worthy of His Excellency the Führer. We were misled by his success from beginning to end, so we chased the wrong direction before, it's not that we are incompetent, but that the Führer is too good, yes, that's it, it can't be wrong. Stark put on his military hat and said to his subordinates in high spirits.

"Do you want to inform Vinsdorf?" The lieutenant asked.

"Why do you want to do this, it will ruin the Führer's plans, we just need to find the Führer and guard him, and nothing else has anything to do with us. We are the Führer's Guard Flag Corps! Remember, the Führer's .... Flag Guards! Starck firmly rejected his men's proposal.

"All of us got into the car, and we searched and marched along the road, all of them lifted my spirits, and the Führer was on the other side of the road, waiting for us to escort him." The commander of the guard flag team climbed into his barrel car and stood in his seat to give the order to go.

While Xu Jun's guards were searching the dirt road like a pack of faithful hounds, the Führer of the Third Reich and his staff of lieutenants had already gone deep into the woods.

They never met the grouse they wanted, but the Führer accidentally picked up an unexpected "little prey".

"Are you sure your house is in that direction?" The Führer of the Third Reich smiled helplessly, and looked down at the Lori beside him who was clutching his trouser leg.

"Looks like we're really lost, my Führer. Can you get the child to tell her dog to let go of his mouth first? Randolph grinned, and on the sleeve of his uniform hung a long-eared beagle that refused to sob.
