Chapter 482: All deception is in vain

However, despite warnings, Headquarters continued to maintain contact and airdropped large quantities of weapons, explosives, communications equipment, activity funds and even new agents at German request. As soon as these materials and personnel landed, they fell into the hands of the German Gestapo.

It is well known that the torture of the Gestapo was intolerable to ordinary people, and all British agents sent to the occupied territories carried highly poisoned drugs in order to commit suicide when they were arrested or when torture could not be endured. The Pope of Rome in the Vatican also issued an amnesty specifically for Christians who could not stand the torture of the Gestapo and committed suicide, pardoning their sins of suicide.

However, the backbone of the "Prosperity" resistance group and the agents who later airdropped them carried non-toxic pills, and after they were arrested, they were tortured and tortured, with no way to survive and no hope of death, and finally confessed their mission: to attack the German headquarters in Calais, the communication center, the shore artillery, and the power supply system, and cooperate with the Allied landing.

The Gestapo was convinced of the veracity of these confessions, most of which had been obtained after repeated tortures to conclude that the Allies would land in Calais. In fact, the whistleblower Derigou used this method to gain the trust of the Gestapo under the top secret directives of the London Oversight Service, and thus to break into the German intelligence services.

And the Gestapo could not have imagined that the British intelligence services would be so shameless as to provide a single piece of false information at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of weapons and equipment and the lives of dozens of loyal subordinates. It is fair to say that these were the most eloquent and weeping unsung heroes of the Normandy landings, most of whom were executed by the Gestapo or sent to death camps, and Derigou was executed by the French resistance on charges of mole.

The war is not over. British intelligence sent special personnel to find the whereabouts of these men, and some of them were posthumously awarded medals in recognition of their extraordinary courage and heroism in extremely dangerous circumstances. To this day, this history is still a secret between Britain and the United States, and according to a special decree of the British government, the archives of this history will not be declassified until 2050.

In addition, the French Resistance also played an important role. At the time of the landing on 6 June, BBC radio broadcast a large number of coded instructions to the resistance groups in Normandy, asking them to destroy railways, roads, bridges, and communication lines, and to assist in the Allied landing.

The BBC also broadcast a large number of coded instructions to the resistance groups in Calais, Belgium and the Netherlands, asking them to follow the schedule. Attack on lines of communication, German command and communication centers. In conjunction with the upcoming landing in Calais.

Since German intelligence had already uncovered 15 underground resistance groups, and according to the special instructions of the London Supervisory Office, six agents, 28 million francs and enough weapons and equipment to equip two regiments were airdropped from January 1941 onwards, despite knowing that they had been dismantled by Germany. To convince Germany that Britain did not know the real situation of these resistance groups. Thus, the German intelligence services fully understood the meaning of the coded instructions. Accordingly, the troops in Calais were alerted to the imminent landing.

Time flies. In an instant, it was five o'clock in the morning on June 5, and Li Mo gave a very strange order to the staff of the General Headquarters of the Western Front, and all the people would not go to work today. Free time in the morning, sleep in the afternoon, and work overtime in the evening...... What kind of inexplicable order is this?

This order puzzled everyone, but the rigor and discipline of the Germans did not make these commanders at all levels working in the Western Front Command object, and everyone still strictly carried out the orders of their commander-in-chief.

At 6:40 p.m. that day, all the personnel working on the Western Front were in place, and everyone began to get busy, during this time the Allied bombing made the Western Front Command have a lot of things to deal with, and Li Mo has already tripled the staff of the Western Front for this purpose, and the number of staff officers has reached more than 800 people, and there is also a primitive computer to help.

In addition, the commanders of several armies and above, who had been urgently summoned by Li Mo to the Western Front Command, also arrived as scheduled, and the meeting was attended by seven people, including Marshal Rundstedt, deputy commander of the Western Front, Hans, chief of staff of Hans, Field Marshal Gluck, commander-in-chief of Army Group B, and General Blas, commander-in-chief of Army Group G.

This meeting is very urgent and very confidential, outside the conference room is five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry, even flies do not want to fly in, and the entire conference room has also been scanned by bugs.

The meeting soon began, and Li Mo looked at several senior commanders who were sitting in Xia Min's sleeves and began to speak:

"Colleagues, I have a few orders to issue, don't be surprised, don't hesitate, just follow them immediately, this is a matter of life and death for Germany, if anyone dares to disobey military orders, the Führer authorizes me, no matter how high his position, to be shot on the spot immediately."

This is the heaviest sentence that Li Mo has said since he arrived on the Western Front, you must know that the lowest number of senior commanders sitting below are at the level of generals, and there are marshals who are older than Li Mo's qualifications, and it seems that Hitler has now given Li Mo all the trust and full command power he wants.

The generals below immediately looked at each other, not knowing what important things were going to happen next, Li Mo continued to say:

"Tomorrow, the Allies are going to launch a landing in Normandy, their bombing and tactical deception, and all the intelligence that the Allies are going to land in Calais, according to my judgment, these are all smoke bombs released by the Allies, the purpose of which is to interfere with our decision-making and make us make wrong judgments.

However, according to experience and analysis, Calais has a large number of our elite troops to defend, and at the same time, there are a large number of forts that I have completed, and at the same time, the roads in Calais are bad, and the Calais area is mountainous, even if the Allies land, it will be very unfavorable to their subsequent development.

Therefore, the Allies must not land in Calais, and even if all the intelligence and the situation seem to indicate that the Allies are going to land in Calais, my judgment is still that the Allies will land in Normandy. ”

"I'm against ......"

Rundstedt, an old marshal who stood up to speak, blushed and pointed at Li Mo with a thick neck and said:

"Arbitrary, I have to remind you, Marshal Li Mo, I eat more salt than you eat, all the intelligence and the situation, all the intelligence and the situation, all the intelligence and the situation, show that the Allies will land in Calais, why are you still so arbitrary, you are sending Germany to hell."

Li Mo did not intend to quarrel with Rundstedt, but picked up a document from the table and handed it to Rundstedt, which was sent to Limer by Hitler with the Führer's code, with the sentence on it, "I judge that the Allies are going to land in Normandy, please strengthen the defense of Normandy." ”

After reading Hitler's telegram, Rundstedt had to sit down decadently and remain silent, and Limer continued: (To be continued......
