Hitler hurriedly took out the map, the map did not indicate what reservoir dikes there were at the mouth of the Isère River, this is a military map of several nearby cities, down to the level of ten meters, no matter what reservoirs, airports, villages, and terrain will be drawn on it, if there really is a reservoir dike, it is impossible not to have it on the military map. He took the map and asked Geze: "The map doesn't say that there is a reservoir and a dam at the mouth of the Isère?" ”

"It's called Nieuport, it's not very big, it's so hidden, only the locals know about it, and I think maybe the people who drew the map didn't find it at all," Gerze said. ”

If there really was a reservoir dam, the Allied forces could have opened the floodgates and poured the water into the Isère, and then a large area of land around the reservoir and on both sides of the Isère would have been flooded into a swamp.

If at this time the Germans were crossing the Isère, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Hitler spoke his mind, and Geze realized the danger: "I've been to Nieuport, and it's entirely possible that you're talking about it. But with thousands of French people on both sides of the Isère, did the Entente really dare to open the floodgates and release water? ”

"Perhaps......" Hitler whispered, war is very cruel, what war does not suffer the people? For the sake of winning a war, it is common to sacrifice people.

In history, there were few cases of flooding the enemy army and the suffering of the people?

After discussing it for a while, they were silent, because the three of them were aware of the danger, but even if they were aware of the danger, what could they do?

At this time, it would be nice to have radio equipment or radio, they originally brought a radio station, but when they crossed the river, it was too large and lost in the river.

The three called the platoon commander and explained the situation to the platoon commander, who also realized the seriousness of the problem, but the platoon commander said: "It is very likely that the enemy does not know about this reservoir at all, and will not open the gate to release water?" Besides, why can we find out, if the enemy army can find out, the commander of our army can't find out? The commanders of our armies are not stupid than us, and perhaps the commanders of our armies can also find out and have already deployed. Moreover, what is the use of our blind worries here, our task is to hold on to this area, and leave the rest alone. ”

"Platoon commander, you're right." Geze was a little anxious: "I'm afraid that if the staff doesn't find out, the enemy will find out again, and it will be troublesome." ”

Hitler looked at the map again, then looked up and said to Gezer and Weiklich: "The reservoir of Neuport is about five hours away from us, and we may be able to go to Nieulport to prevent the enemy from opening the floodgates and preventing the flooding of our army." ”

The platoon commander said: "Or not, as long as we hold on to this hillside, even if we succeed, even if the enemy opens the floodgates and releases water, flooding our army, resulting in the defeat of this battle, we will not be punished." ”

Hitler persuaded: "Platoon commander, what you say is reasonable, but if the front line fails, the French army will definitely find us, and for the nails behind us, the French army will attack with all their might, and when the time comes, we will be discovered and annihilated by the enemy if we stay here." ”

When it came to his own life and death, the platoon commander couldn't make a decision, so he asked Ge Ze: "What good way do you have?" ”

Geze couldn't figure out a way, he was able to participate in this mission not because he had special talents, but because he was familiar with the terrain around here.

"I have a solution." "We're dividing our forces!" ”

"Division?"

"I looked around here and found that three squads of people are enough to hold this hill, and three squads of people can just complete the blocking mission, and we have five squads, and we can spare two squads to go to Niouport to have a look." Weikrich said.

"Is there enough for two classes?" The platoon commander hesitated.

"There's no way around it."

In the end, the platoon commander agreed to the defense of Neuport, led by the deputy platoon commander Geze, and Hitler, Weiklich, and Manniu participated.

A group of twenty people had to reach Niouport before the battle, and the straight-line distance would only take five hours to arrive, which was completely timely, but the key was that the road was full of enemy-occupied areas, and it was easy to be discovered.

Hitler said: "Let's just take off our military uniforms and put on civilian clothes or French military uniforms." ”

"Take off your uniform? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Hitler's words aroused the surprise of everyone, and they refused to take off their uniforms, because if they were caught by the enemy in military operations without taking off their uniforms, they would not be treated as prisoners of war, but would be punished for the crime of espionage, which was very serious, and was not protected by domestic laws and international conventions, and could be disposed of by the enemy at will. When exchanging and returning prisoners of war, they do not consider the exchange of spies, and even after the war, their own country does not care about the life or death of their own spies.

What's more, military uniforms are part of honor, they can die, but asking them to take off their uniforms is tantamount to fantasy.

Hitler advised: "We are in enemy-occupied territory, all the way are French, and it is too easy to be detected and too dangerous to put on a military uniform." Companions, wealth and danger are sought, and it costs money to complete the task, if we are timid, then we just go home and farm. We soldiers should obey the overall situation and not be afraid of death. ”

After listening to Hitler's words, everyone still hesitated.

"I agree!" Wei Krich's gaze swept over everyone: "This mission is very arduous, the reality has to let us temporarily take off the military uniform, only by taking off the military uniform can we complete the task, as long as we can complete the task, what if we die." If I'm unfortunate enough to be caught, my last bullet is for myself. ”

These people are all elites, they have suffered everything, and they are also very smart, and finally the deputy platoon commander Geze gave the order, and everyone took off their military uniforms.

"If you get caught, kill yourself!" This is what many people think, and the crime of espionage is a very serious crime, and most people who regard honor as their life cannot accept it.

I met French people from time to time along the way, but fortunately, almost half of them could speak French, so there was no danger.

While passing through a small village, two lone French soldiers were smoking on the side of the road, and Hitler and Weikrich quietly lurked with knives in their hands, ending their lives cleanly.

This time it was safe, Hitler and Geze changed into the uniforms of French soldiers, and no one came to check, but there were several checkpoints along the way, and they did not dare to go over, so they had to take a detour. The north of France, with its plains and a few rivers, had no dangerous paths, and they soon smelled the fishy smell of the sea breeze, and they had reached Niouport!

They reconnoitred around Niouport and found that there was no enemy garrison.

It is possible that the enemy did not discover this reservoir either!

Everyone thinks so, and if that's the case, then their previous actions and the dangers they face are all in vain......

"It's very likely that the people who opened the gates didn't come, and we should set up an ambush on the road to defend Niouport." Just when everyone was a little frustrated, Hitler stood up and said: "There is an old saying in distant China, which is called the victory of the army first and then the battle, which means that the last victorious person often has the conditions for victory and then engagement, we now have only 20 people, deep into the enemy area, the number of enemies is much more than ours, under such conditions, only ambush can have a chance of victory." ”

Perhaps Hitler had a convincing temperament, and after listening to Hitler's words, everyone's morale increased, and Weikrich pointed to a mountain peak in the distance: "The road under that mountain is the only way to enter Nieuport, and as long as we hold this peak, the enemy will not be able to reach Niouport." ”

"Good!" Hitler shook his fist vigorously: "We will hide and ambush on the top of the mountain, and wait until the enemy passes below the mountain to suddenly shoot and catch him by surprise." ”

PS: The Battle of Ypres really existed, and in the end, the Belgian army opened the sea gate of Niouport, flooded the German army, forced the German army to retreat, and the Western Front entered a positional war from then on.
