Chapter 322: Hitler
The fact that all ten bombers loaded with bombs were destroyed in an instant was unacceptable to the mustachioed commander of the German army, but it was a fact. The mustache was full of anger, and the simple table in front of him was now lying on the ground in pieces.
"Stalin, count you ruthlessly, I didn't expect you to keep a hand in the end. Hmph, go get that intelligence officer for me. The mustache said coldly, and the grim expression on his face made people dare not look at it directly. Of course, those under his command did not dare to say anything more, and it was not long before a man with a look of fear on his face was brought in, and looking at his epaulettes, it was a lieutenant.
"You're the intelligence officer in Leningrad this time?" The mustache glanced at the lieutenant, and his voice was cold like a demon escaping from hell.
"Yes." The lieutenant replied timidly. On the way to it, he already knew what had happened, and now his only hope was to survive.
"Okay, drag it out and shoot it on the spot." Without too many words, without too many questions, the mustache had already gotten the answers he wanted.
"Spare your life, Your Excellency, spare your life. I've really investigated the fact that there really isn't anti-aircraft equipment like anti-aircraft guns in Leningrad. The lieutenant cried to his knees to the mustache as he was about to be dragged out.
Your Excellency? Yes, that's right, the President. It turned out that this battle was not only Stalin himself to Leningrad, but even Hitler came, in fact, he was no longer in the German FΓΌhrer's capital, but on the battlefield of the Soviet Union. He wanted to see for himself the unprecedented success of his lightning plan.
"Huh, really? Then since Stalin has no anti-air equipment, why was my bomber easily knocked down by him, you give me a reasonable explanation, if it can satisfy me, I can not kill you, otherwise you don't waste my time here. When he said this, there was no emotion in Hitler's eyes and expressions, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"It's possible that they smuggled it in late the day, or maybe Soviet reinforcements arrived in time." The lieutenant thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't know what reason to give himself.
"Bastard. Pull him out and shoot him, speed, I don't want to see this waste again. The two mustaches above the corners of Hitler's angry mouth kept quivering. Leningrad is now surrounded by its own water, and if there are Soviet reinforcements coming, how could he not know.
"Your Excellency the President doesn't need to be angry. Even if Stalin really had anti-air attack anti-aircraft guns, we don't need to be afraid of him, and when the time comes, we only need to select a few pilots with excellent flying skills and go through his artillery fire first to knock out his anti-aircraft artillery equipment. Now although we have lost ten bombers and ten flying elites, on the other hand, we have gained valuable intelligence at the cost of ten aircraft, which will allow us to avoid even greater losses. This is thankful. Otherwise, if our bombers go out together, it will be much more than the current losses. A general standing beside Hitler exhorted.
"De Gaulle, you are right. The loss of these ten bombers and ten flying elites also blames me for being too careless, I did not expect Stalin to be so insidious at all. However, judging from our previous experience in fighting against the Soviet army, the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army is not worth mentioning at all, but why is it so good this time, and the tactical use is also very different from the past, what is going on? Hitler calmed the anger in his heart and asked calmly. He knew very well that anger and corruption would not help at all, and it would seriously affect his judgment, which was a big taboo for a commander, because a commander's words and decisions could determine the life and death of many soldiers and the victory or defeat of a war.
"Your Excellency, didn't Hilton die in the Northeast some time ago? And the first person who spoke out before the battle began, was not a Soviet. De Gaulle stopped halfway through his sentence, knowing that he did not have to go on, for Hitler must have thought of the man he was talking about. And as Hitler's right-hand man, de Gaulle certainly understood Hitler's surname, Hitler always liked to say the final answer himself, as a way to prove that he was extremely clever, and on the contrary, if someone gave him no chance to say the final answer, he would be very angry, and sometimes even ordered that person to be over.
"De Gaulle, are you saying that it was not the Soviet army that fought against us this time, but the wolf's tooth special operations brigade called Zhang Dongbei, whom Stalin invited back from China?" Hitler's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.
"It's very likely to be the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade, I've heard of this Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade, Your Excellency, do you remember a report from two years ago? At that time, it was said that the Langya Special Operations Brigade used rifles to shoot down the planes of the Yue army and successfully defended Xuzhou. At that time, when we saw the newspapers, we all thought that those were nonsense, false reports made by the Chinese to disrupt the army. Moreover, I also heard that the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade has won every battle on the Chinese battlefield, and has never been defeated in the face of the Yue army. Your Excellency President, although there are not as many tanks as our tank divisions in the army, the number of tanks is not small, but the tanks have never shown their might. Almost all of them were seized. Now China's Eighth Route Army has its own air combat corps and tank divisions. And their planes and tanks were all captured. De Gaulle analyzed on the side.
Listening to De Gaulle's words, Hitler was suddenly shocked: "Do you mean that from the beginning of the war just now to the present, our people have not fought with the Soviet army at all, but have been fighting with the Chinese wolf's tooth special operations brigade?" β
De Gaulle nodded, "In my opinion, it should be so." Therefore, Leningrad really does not have such equipment as anti-surprise anti-aircraft guns, and the ten bombers just shot down, presumably the wolf's tooth special operations brigade made trouble. β
Hitler wondered: "Do you really believe that the [***] people in that group can shoot down planes with rifles?" β
De Gaulle said: "Why don't you believe it, I am the best example, and now it seems that this is the only way to explain our successive defeats from the beginning of the war to the present." β
Hitler squinted his eyes at de Gaulle and said, "So you didn't suspect that there was something wrong with intelligence from the beginning?" β
De Gaulle nodded.
Hitler said, "Then why didn't you stop me from killing that intelligence officer just now?" β
De Gaulle said: "Because he must die, and only his death can bring back the fighting spirit of the warriors that has faded." From the beginning of the war to the present, although our losses are not very large, but because we have not been able to attack for a long time, and we have lost our troops and generals, our morale has been greatly damaged, and if we cannot boost the morale of the army, then we will lose this battle. If you want to win this battle, then you must first let the soldiers regain their fighting spirit, and the most direct way to recover their fighting spirit is to let them know where they have failed, and then give them a satisfactory answer. And intelligence failures seem to be the only and best reason now. So that lieutenant was destined to die for the great ideals of the President. β
Listening to De Gaulle quietly, Hitler's eyes exuded a cold glow staring at de Gaulle, at this moment Hitler's eyes were so trembling, if it were anyone else, maybe this would have frightened his legs to weakness. However, de Gaulle's face did not change at all, and he was still the same as before, calmly facing Hitler's terrible gaze.
"Haha, de Gaulle, you really deserve to be Lao Tzu's confidant, you know everything about Lao Tzu's heart. Then tell me how Lao Tzu will deal with Stalin and Zhang Dongbei in the city next. Hitler suddenly laughed.
Just as de Gaulle was about to speak, suddenly a soldier ran in and reported to Hitler: "Inform the President, Soviet troops are treating and transferring the wounded in the positions outside the city. β
Hitler and General de Gaulle, who suddenly heard the news, looked at each other at the same time, and then an unfathomable smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
