Chapter 106: Berlin Storm
Hitler's angry march into Berlin was not done by chance, in fact, his march into Berlin was still very successful.
As long as he was quick enough, as long as he could capture Berlin, quickly seize Albert and Hindenburg, and control the parliament, then Hitler could push Berlin to "overturn" the government and form his own regime.
The military police along the route were either unable to react in the face of the raid or were supporters of the National Socialist Party, so there was nothing to worry about.
As long as the chief of the Berlin Police Department is eliminated, Gudos can stand up and preside over the overall situation in the chaos and thus control the police force in Berlin.
The Wehrmacht stationed in Berlin and nearby had two regiments, the Wehrmacht 1st Regiment and the Wehrmacht 2nd Regiment, which were the most powerful armed forces in the entire Wehrmacht.
The two regiments together have about 8,000 people, which is more than the SS, and the SS cannot win a frontal fight, but Hitler is not worried, the deputy commander of the first regiment is Weissur, and the commander of the first regiment and the first battalion is Hena, these two people were Hitler's comrades-in-arms and cooperated in the battle of crossing the river, so Hitler was not worried.
Do you say that just because they once fought a battle together, they were once comrades-in-arms and Hitler were so relieved?
No, in fact, these two men had already secretly joined the National Socialist Party, agreed with Hitler's ideas, and were loyal party members. It's just that they secretly joined the National Socialist Party, and at this time, no one can violate the code that serving soldiers must not interfere in politics.
It was precisely because of the secrecy that the suddenness was caused by the fact that except for the National Socialist Party Executive Committee, which knew that the two of them were members of the National Socialist Party, the rest of the people did not know that the two of them suddenly attacked and it was very likely that they would control the military power of a group.
The deputy commander and the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment were Hitler's men, not to mention that the National Socialist Party controlled the regiment, as long as the two of them could restrain the regiment and not interfere with the actions of the Berlin regiment, the two of them would also be a great achievement.
In addition to the first regiment in Berlin, there was also a second regiment stationed in Berlin, but Hitler was not worried, because the commander of the first battalion of the second regiment was the original chief of staff of the Berlin regiment, Kleist, and the entire battalion could be said to be adapted from the Berlin regiment, and these people were all Hitler's old subordinates, so there was no need to worry at all.
The 1st and 2nd regiments had other forces that the National Socialist Party did not control, but it is believed that the 1st regiment had Weisuer and Henner to block the attack, and the 2nd regiment had Kleist in charge, and Hitler, the armed forces in Berlin, controlled a small half.
Don't be afraid even if you make a mistake!
Because Hitler had a trump card in his hands - the Security Bureau.
The Security Service has now merged with the General Police Bureau, the Naval Intelligence Bureau, the Army Military Intelligence Directorate and other intelligence agencies to form the German Intelligence Service, headed by Walter, although Walter had crossed paths with Hitler and had a good relationship, but he was not a party member and could not be trusted, but there were many people in the German Intelligence Service who were Hitler's trustworthy people -- Dunnis and Pike.
Dunnis is the head of the intelligence department in the intelligence bureau, Pike is the head of the training department, and the two key departments in the intelligence bureau are Hitler's people, and many of the grassroots personnel in the intelligence bureau are Hitler's trained people, so to speak, these people will work for Hitler.
Last night, the SS got in touch with Dunnis, who provided the locations of many high-ranking German officials and generals, which greatly facilitated the capture and control of the SS.
Pike also promised that when the armed forces attacked Berlin, the armed forces and secret service teams under the training office would move to control the bigwigs in Berlin, and at the same time raid and capture Hindenburg and Albert.
With the police station in Berlin controlled by Gudos, the Wehrmacht stationed in Berlin having a rebellion of secret party members, and the assistance of the intelligence service, it can be said that the success rate of this advance into Berlin was not too low.
It's just that Seckert's sudden appearance disrupted Hitler's deployment a little, and he didn't expect this quasi-party member to stand up and resist.
Hitler got into the car and rushed to Berlin with his guards and Goering, but there were too many cars on the way to Berlin, and the road was crowded, and it was not known how long it would take to reach Berlin.
At this critical moment, Goering took Hitler back to Regensburg, drove a civilian plane, and quickly arrived in Berlin.
Outside a barracks on the outskirts of Berlin, the SS surrounded a Wehrmacht barracks and fired frantically on both sides.
"There was probably a battalion of more than 1,000 people in this barracks, and there were only 2,000 of our Guards, and although there were many SS troops, the Wehrmacht was well-equipped and could break through at any moment. Fortunately, the mountains and forests north of this barracks were burned, so that they could not come out of the north, otherwise it would be impossible for our Guards to surround this little manpower. SS Deputy Captain Weikrich told Hitler that Weikrich had originally served in the Wehrmacht, but when Hitler formed the SS, he called Weikrich to take charge of SS affairs.
"Can't let them fight anyway!" Hitler bit his lip and looked at the map: "What about Ludendorff?" ”
"Command the army at the front." Weikrich said.
"Okay." Hitler nodded, his eyes fixed on Weiklich: "Work with Ludendorff, let him more, don't clash with him, after all, he is a veteran of the National Socialist Party, once our general." ”
Wei Krich bowed his head and replied, "Yes." ”
Weykrich was an airborne SS troop, and he was the vice-captain, and the SS captain Hitler didn't care about anything on weekdays, so it was generally the vice-captain Weikrich who exercised the duties and powers of the captain. Weiklich is young and capable, while Ludendorff is older, and his ability to work has greatly decreased, but Ludendorff is a person with a strong desire for power, he can not fight for party power, but for military power, he must control it in his hands no matter what, he mentioned to Hitler more than once that one of them is in charge of the party and government, and the other is in charge of the military, and they can not interfere with each other.
Hitler never took Ludendorff's proposal seriously.
It's just that the airborne Weiklich did affect Ludendorff's actual power, and Ludendorff has been crowding out and suppressing Weiklisch.
"What is the situation in Berlin as a whole, have Hindenburg and Albert been caught?" Hitler did not ask much when he saw that Weikrich agreed, and he was more concerned about the current situation when the situation was urgent.
Pointing to the map, Steiner, the head of the training department, said: "The chief of the Berlin police is controlled at home by the people of the intelligence department, and now the entire police system in Berlin is under the control of Gudos. Except for the 2nd Regiment and 2nd Battalion, which Seckert currently controls, the rest of the 1st and 2nd Regiments have not moved for the time being, and they are honestly staying at the station, as for Hindenburg and Albert, ......"
Steiner's words were swallowed, and Hitler glared at him: "Didn't you catch it?" ”
"Yes, the intelligence service didn't catch it, our party guards don't know where they went, and the police led by Gudos are searching all over Berlin." Weikrich said.
Hitler took the collar and said, "No matter, now get rid of Seckert first, and I'll go to the front to see." ”
Steiner led Hitler to the place of the firefight, and it has to be said that the SS fought very hard, because the 2nd Regiment was the best regiment in Germany, and they were equipped with very advanced weapons, a lot of machine guns, many cannons, and countless grenades and bullets. And the SS soldiers, although they were also armed with Mauser rifles, had only ten bullets per person, two grenade shells, machine guns and not a single one, as for the cannons.
Ludendorff was found in a wood, he was disgraced and stained with blood, and said: "It is not a way to fight like this, our party guards have consumed a lot of people, and we must find a way to end the battle as soon as possible." ”
Hitler shook his head and said, "I don't have any ideas for the time being, what can you do about it?" ”
Ludendorff said: "Yes, Seckert is a very traditional soldier, and he is unconditionally obedient to his superiors, and it just so happens that his superior, Field Marshal Markkensen, is in Berlin and is also a member of our party, and we can ask Field Marshal Mackensen to persuade him." ”
"Okay, send someone to Marshal Mackenson quickly." Hitler was in awe when he heard the name Mackensen, a master of mobile warfare, conqueror of Serbia and Romania, a man of the rank of military god, and one of the five recipients of the Great Iron Cross of the First World War. In an interview, Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Red Army, praised Mackensen as a master of contemporary mobile warfare and ranked first among the world's famous generals he admired the most.
The sudden thought of Mackensen put Hitler at ease, no matter what, Mackensen was a figure on the same level as Hindenburg, and his prestige was extremely high in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, and with his participation, Hitler's march was justified. (To be continued.) )
