Chapter 1105: Pre-War Vignette (Add. 10)
Brest Fortress.
The strongest fortress in Poland was always in German hands, and opposite him were the well-armed Soviets.
In front of this fortress, there have been many battles, and no matter how beautiful the Soviet Union and Germany are on the surface, the soldiers here are always ready to deal with possible conflicts.
The water of the Bug River, flowing slowly, is almost a boundary, with the west bank of the river under German control and the east bank under the control of the Soviets.
"Woo, woo!" A train, braving, departed from the Brest railway station and headed for the territory of the USSR opposite.
Trade between Germany and the Soviet Union was still going on extensively, and this train, which was filled with military supplies exported from Germany to the Soviets, was also an identical railway, and without any modifications, the railway could go all the way to the Ural Mountains of the Soviet Union, and this railway was also a testimony to the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union.
The river was rattling, and in the night, a human head suddenly appeared on the water, and it was not yet April, and the river was still cold, and his lips were purple from the cold.
But he was still sliding hard, he had no choice, this was his last chance.
Soviets, there is no time, the Germans are about to invade the Soviets, and they must tell Moscow this terrible news as soon as possible, so that Moscow can be prepared!
At last, he climbed ashore, and the cold wind blew, and he felt even more cold.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Just as he was coming ashore, there was a shout from the opposite side, and then several people appeared in front of him with guns.
"Quick, take me to your superiors, I have important information to report!" He said to the sentries in front of him.
However, he was in German! He didn't speak Russian, and now he was calling out to the person in front of him, who didn't understand anything.
At this time, he was wearing only a thin pair of pants, swimming in the river, and his clothes would not keep him warm, and because of this, it was impossible to confirm his identity.
But at least, the person in front of him was harmless, although it could be seen that he should be a soldier, but he didn't have any weapons in his hand, and he came alone.
"Take him back, we'll have to find a translator." The squad leader who led the team said.
Seeing that this poor guy was shivering, the squad leader put his clothes on him, which made the people who came a burst of gratitude, but he was still extremely anxious.
It was useless to be anxious, and after entering the other party's station, he waited anxiously for two hours before finally meeting an interpreter.
"My name is Roland Schroethe, and I am the chief of the second battalion of the motorized infantry brigade of the 3rd Panzer Army, and now, I have important information to report." Roland said anxiously to the translator.
The interpreter interrupted him: "As far as we know, there is no formation called the Third Panzer Army on the opposite side of us, we only know that the opposite side is the German fortress garrison. โ
"Yes, we started here half a month ago, and we have always been very secretive, and we have not been noticed by you, and I finally found the opportunity today, oh, please don't interrupt me." Roland realized that he had actually wasted his time on these frivolous things, and he hurriedly said: "Please inform Moscow at once that the German offensive against the Soviets is about to begin, just this morning, and now there are less than three hours left, please be quick!" โ
The Germans are going to attack? This news sounds like a fantasy, the translator, in fact, is a chief of staff of the garrison here, of course, to investigate all this clearly: "Please come up with evidence, we can't report such information without any evidence." โ
Who knows if the person in front of him was sent by the Germans, or even mentally ill, how can one believe such news without any evidence?
"I came here when I found an opportunity, where is the evidence!" Roland said anxiously: "Please believe me, I am a GCDY!" I have been in the German army for eight years, just to wait for this day, I risked my life to come and report to our comrades, there is no time, the German offensive is about to begin, please believe me! โ
Maybe it was because he felt that it was really important, maybe it was Roland's impatience at this time that said something, in short, the translator in front of him finally decided to report this matter first.
As for the authenticity, let the superiors determine it.
In this way, the news of the imminent German attack on the Soviets, after a series of reports, was finally, at eleven o'clock in the evening, in front of the great leader, Comrade Stalin.
Because of the urgency, he had to wake up Stalin, the captain of Stalin's guard, Khrustalev's heart was still worried.
Stalin was not angry, in this case, it is understandable for the subordinates to report such an emergency, but, if you have brains, you should know that such news must be a fake!
Just before going to bed, Stalin and his subordinates studied the confrontation between the Germans and the Americans in the Pacific, the study of the German navy is too powerful, and Germany's funds are limited after all, since the navy has been continuously expanded, the German army will definitely not be able to be expanded on a large scale.
In a few months, the Soviet army will be able to complete its reorganization, and then the Germans will be at war with the United States at sea, and they will be able to snatch a large amount of land from the German mouth on land.
There can only be one of the most powerful countries on this continent, either Germany or the Soviets!
And now, without any preparation, the Germans have come to invade the Soviets? Obviously, this man has evil intentions, and perhaps he is in the service of the Americans.
The Americans took the lead in provoking a war between the USSR and Germany, so that the pressure on the Americans at sea would be reduced, and troops could be transferred to fight in the Pacific Ocean.
"This man was a spy and shot him." Stalin said lightly, and after speaking, he returned to his bedroom again and continued to sleep.
"Nope! I am reporting the truth, and in half an hour the German offensive will begin! Seeing a few people escorting themselves into the field, with guns in their hands, Roland knew what was going on, he never thought that he would take the risk of running over to report emergency information, and this would be the result!
After several years of lurking in the German army, he was finally killed by his own comrades!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, Roland was shot in the chest, his body fell backwards weakly, and when he fell, his eyes were still looking east, looking in the direction of Moscow, at this time, I don't know what was going on in his heart.
Behind the Brest Fortress, the army was stationed.
All the troops have entered the state of imminent battle, they have adjusted to the best condition, waiting for the final moment to come.
The German army, already the most formidable existence of this era, is invincible, as long as the Fรผhrer gives an order, they can charge any enemy!
However, the commander of the motorized infantry brigade received a report that the whereabouts of the chief of his second battalion were unknown!
At this particular time, the person who suddenly disappeared was quite unusual, and the brigade commander did not hide it and immediately reported the incident to his superiors.
