Early the next morning, Rommel's artillery group on the Eastern Front began to exert its might, continuously and violently bombarding the Blue Front, and the Air Force also changed its normal state and began to fly over the Eastern Front to bomb, and the artillery of the Blue Front was not vegetarian, but also fiercely counterattacked, both sides wanted to kill the other side's artillery first, in the third stage of the Songhu War, these commanders had personally experienced the benefits brought to the troops by first killing the enemy's heavy firepower.
The cannon fire on the Eastern Front was incessant, and the scorching shells were fighting back and forth, and the small commandos led by Otto secretly crossed the river that night and infiltrated the blue front.
By the faint moonlight, Otto was very careful to bypass the first line of defense of the blue side, because the blue side transferred a large number of troops to the eastern front, and the troops on the western front were less than 50% of the original, and many places were a section of defense line, and did not form a whole defensive line, and the defensive gap between the blue troops and troops on the western front was very large and many, which made Otto's penetration very easy, and after learning about the defense of the first line of the blue side, Otto quickly sent the defense of the blue side on the western front to Rommel.
After receiving the telegram from the assault team, Rommel was even more sure that his feint plan was starting to work, and after a day of intensified feints, which bought more time for the assault team, finding out the command of the blue side became the key to Rommel's tactical arrangement. Rommel began to intensify the artillery bombardment of the Eastern Front the next day, and even sent some boat bridge troops to the river to build bridges, strange things, the blue side actually did not attack Rommel's bridge building troops, but the blue side was meant to counter Rommel's artillery, as if the red troops who were building bridges under their noses were not found at all, only occasionally a few symbolic shells fell around the bridge troops, and the sacrifice was not large.
When this situation was reported to Rommel, Rommel of course understood the careful thinking of his two subordinates, and he still wanted to dig a hole for himself, which was simply a pipe dream.
It is already three o'clock in the morning, after dozens of kilometers of trekking, the physical strength of all the team members has dropped seriously, and everyone can take advantage of this time to rest for three hours and recover their physical strength, physical strength is very important for these commandos.
"Everyone rest in place, I'll wake everyone up on time at six o'clock, let's go."
The entire commando team has a military blanket in their backpacks, which is directly wrapped around their bodies, and then leans against the trunk of the tree to rest, while Otto, as the captain, takes a submachine gun and a silent pistol, and goes to find a commanding height to start a sentry, if he is really sleepy, eat a piece of chocolate to sleep. The safety of the entire assault team is of paramount importance, and each fighter has a corresponding role, so Otto, the captain, has to stay up all night to keep watch.
There was no word all night, at six o'clock, Otto woke up everyone, breakfast was the dry food and pickles and a ham sausage that he carried with him, why didn't these commandos bring canned food, because the canned food at this time was a tin shell, if a person carried several cans on his back, as soon as he walked, it would definitely clang. As a commando, in order to conceal, you will never bring canned food.
Otto, like the rest of the soldiers, ate the same thing, and gave it to those with scars on their faces and dark and sharp eyes, and while eating, they were looking at the map, and their minds were thinking about schemes, and they were planning in their hearts how to find the general headquarters of the blue side in the vast rear of the south, which would not have been possible for months if only these forty men were used to search everywhere.
"If you want to know the central command of the blue side, it is best to catch a middle-level officer, it is useless to catch small soldiers, go to the defensive position of the blue side to catch it, this is not realistic, once these forty people are exposed, it will be finished immediately, the best way is to intercept the car on the highway, and the one who is qualified to take the car is definitely the official, yes, go to the highway and wait for the rabbit."
Otto's hand also began to move on the map, starting from this place, over a mountain pass and walking five kilometers, there is a road, this road is not a problem for these commandos at all, what they are afraid of is to meet the patrol team of the blue side, if this is a bit troublesome.
The entire assault team was divided into three combat squads, a special squad, and Otto called the four squad leaders to himself and began to assign tasks.
"Guys, we're going to set off in fifteen minutes, along this trail, over the mountain pass in front of us, and after walking five kilometers along this mountain road, we will reach the road, and there are woods on both sides of this road, so we can hide from it, and because of the remote location, there will be no Blues stationed here, do you have any questions?"
"Nope."
……
An hour later, Otto and forty members of the commando team came to about 500 meters in front of the mountain pass they were going to cross, but the cautious Otto still told the team members to rest on the spot for ten minutes, and he took two fighters to scout and see if there was anything new.
Soon Otto found the clue, there is a sentry in the hidden place of the mountain pass, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find the soldier standing under the big tree, although only one soldier is found now, but to set up a guard post here at least a squad of soldiers to make the sentry flow normally, Otto who found the situation is not staying, and quickly returns to the resting place just now.
"Brothers, hurry up, we have something to do, come over and let's assign tasks."
Several squad leaders took the lead in surrounding Otto's side, waiting for Otto's instructions, but Otto did not speak, but pulled up with his hands on the ground, and soon a simple sand table appeared on the ground, which showed just the mountain pass that Otto had just observed, although this sand table was not accurate, but it could meet the layout of the combat mission, and several squad leaders suddenly showed admiration for Otto.
"Look, this is the mountain pass where I went to reconnoitre just now, there is a sentry in this position, I estimate that there is at least one squad of the Blue Army alert force in this mountain pass, so I decided that the fourth squad is responsible for solving the sentry and the guard, and the 123rd squad is responsible for searching for the other personnel of the Blue Army here, and then quickly solve it, if everyone has no problems, they will set off immediately."
The fourth squad is all technical troops, so the assigned tasks are relatively small, only solving the sentry and serving as a vigilance, and the other three combat teams are to encircle and annihilate the other blue troops.
The combat teams that got their respective tasks, under the command of their respective squad leaders, quickly and orderly moved towards the goal, Otto followed the action of the first squad, and the three combat squads were fan-shaped, and each squad was divided into five groups, each group of two, a sharp soldier group, three assault groups, and a vigilance emergency group, so that the group already had the prototype of modern special forces, scientific and reasonable.
The fourth group dealt with a sentry, without blowing the power of the blow, the heaviest task was the first, second, and third groups, because Otto they didn't know where the rest of the Blue Army was, so they could only search slowly, and after the fourth group solved the sentry for more than ten minutes, the third group sent a message, saying that they had found a camp, a total of two military tents, there was no other situation around the tent, and no sentry was seen.
Since there was no other situation, Otto did not hesitate, led three assault teams to surround it, took out silent pistols one after another, and then rushed into the tent like lightning, and there was a burst of "point shooting" inside, which was indeed an infantry squad of the Blue Army, most of them were "killed", and of course the living became prisoners, after Otto's interrogation, they did not know the position of their commander-in-chief, and Otto, who asked to no avail, had to "exterminate" all the remaining prisoners, in this case, it is true that the prisoners cannot be escorted, Although it is very immoral and violates the rules of engagement to do so, what can be done? War is often such helplessness.
Solve the blue army unit of this squad, Otto did not leave immediately, but searched carefully, there is really no useful information, only to leave quickly with his men, five kilometers for these commandos, it is only half an hour, after arriving at the road, it is necessary to design a bureau, Otto asked a soldier to wrap his head with gauze, and then lie down on the road, the rest of the people are ambushed on the side of the road, the fourth group is dedicated to sentry and send messages.
The first time a motorcycle was blocked, the person who caught it was a creep, and it was useless to solve it on the spot.
The second time was an ammunition truck, which was also useless.
The third time he finally caught a major, and this time he finally paid off, interrogating the location of the general headquarters of the Blue Army.
At this time, Otto had a total of three-wheeled motorcycles, a small car, a truck, and all the ammunition on the truck was thrown, so that Otto's means of transportation were solved, and Otto, who accurately captured the location of the Blue Army headquarters, first sent a telegram to Rommel, and then took his men on the captured vehicles and began to set off.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Otto and his party arrived at the periphery of the Blue Army headquarters, and now there are more checkpoints for checking documents. This is easy to do! The squad leader tore off the photos on his soldier's ID card and the major's officer ID card, and pasted them in exchange, so there would not be much of a problem, and if he hadn't looked at them carefully, there shouldn't have been much of a problem.
At this time, Otto was also thinking in his heart, if he went to the headquarters of the Blue Army now, and if he succeeded, his team would have to explain where it was, and he could escape at night.
After saying that Rommel received a call from Otto, he did not hesitate to order his troops hidden on the Western Front to immediately make a full-scale attack, with multiple pontoon bridges, sappers as the lead, and some necessary road rest for the tank units behind.
