Chapter 175: Doomsday Ark
Leaning sideways against the pile of rubble, Lynn reloaded the shell gun as fast as she could. The weather in May was no longer a little chilly, but the tense and continuous fighting made the hands covered with sweat, plus the mud and dust that stained it, and occasionally the bullets slipped during the loading process, but at this time he did not bother to pick them up, filled one of them with twenty rounds, and the other with only ten rounds, and then hurriedly got up under the urging of the tight gunfire, and covered his companions to advance in the direction of the street while firing.
Although the defeat of a blocking battle is far more than the effect of "defeat like a mountain", the Soviet soldiers who stayed spontaneously or by order were not all "dead eyes" who were tendoned to the end. Victory in the war was imminent, and in the face of such a fierce German armored force, their main force was still unable to retreat, and suddenly fell into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and only a few people who thought that their position was hidden enough to continue to wait for the opportunity, or insisted on fighting with a heroic and righteous mentality, and these people became Lynn's last "supper".
No more than two cigarettes were done, and with the last deafening roar of a long-handled grenade thrown at a Soviet soldier, the already scattered gunfire on the battlefield quickly slipped down, and soon only the roar of German tank vehicles was left in his ears. After making sure that his soldiers were safe and sound, Lynn crouched down in the rubble and shouted to the other side of the street: "We are Berlin 11th Night Task Force, our own people!" We consume a lot in battle and need healing and supplies! ”
Someone on the street soon replied: "Raise your weapon and come out!" ”
By this time, no one cared whether such a gesture was embarrassing or not, and under the leadership of Lynn, the remaining six soldiers got up from the rubble one by one and walked calmly and cautiously towards the road - the road was only ten or twenty meters, but they were very worried about being coldly shot by the remnants of the Soviet army at this time, but fortunately the doom did not come. It wasn't until Lynn and the others walked through the rubble on the side of the street that several German soldiers armed with assault rifles came forward to verify their identities, allowing them to regain their weapons. Upon deliberate observation, Lynn discovered that the soldiers were all Waffen-SS, and the cuffs of one of the uniforms exposed under their combat uniforms were the logo of the "Führer Guard Flag Corps".
Don't...... Lynn was startled, and the speculation that followed went far beyond what was recorded in orthodox historical sources, reminding him of rumors that were dismissed as nonsense.
Suddenly, an officer wearing an M42 steel helmet and a "pea" combat uniform stepped down from the armored command vehicle parked on the side of the road.
When they arrived at Lynn, the officer asked in a slightly hurried tone, "Did you kill the searchlights of the Soviet army before?" ”
"Yes, sir!" Lynn immediately replied, and introduced the officer to the two heroes who had destroyed the Soviet searchlight, "This is Noah, our anti-tank shooter, who not only destroyed the Soviet truck loaded with the searchlight, but also killed a T34!" This is Tanze, our sniper, who shot out at least two searchlights! And ......"
Before he could speak, the officer suddenly interrupted him and said in the tone of discovering a new world, "Lynn? Hey Lynn. It's you, Gargo! ”
In the darkness, only the outline of the face under the steel helmet was seen, and Lynn took a closer look, it was not Kate Brown, a staff officer of the "Vampire" commando command. Captain Ziggenk?
At that fully equipped and functional special operations command, Captain Ziggenke and Luca Murphy. Motchig belonged to Bach's elite staff team, and their chief staff officer was the decisive and capable Enke Brown. Major Valdés. It is said that Bach would personally select from each batch of trainees the most capable of commanding and staffing to enter the command, and after a long period of training, some of them could be successfully promoted to the rank of staff officer or even a higher staff officer, while others, like Lynn, were transferred to combat units in the middle of the process.
"Ahh Sir! How could it be you? Lynn's tone was half surprise and half joy, and when he met his own people, things were much easier.
The original SS captain was already wearing a major badge by this time. Glancing at the soldiers standing behind Lynn, Ziggenke saw that they were either painted or disgraced, and ordered an SS soldier beside him: "Take these brothers to the back car to treat their wounds and replenish their supplies!" ”
Immediately after, Ziggenke shook his head at Lynn: "Follow me!" ”
Following the SS major across the street and climbing into the armored command car parked on the side of the road, Lynn immediately saw another old friend, Luca Brown. Motchig. There were two radios on the vehicle, and there was only one sergeant left except for the soldier who was on guard with the machine gun on the car, so much so that Captain Motchig had to go into battle himself, wearing headphones and holding a microphone, presumably coordinating the front and rear vehicles of the armored convoy to keep the action in line.
Without waiting for him to finish the call, Ziggenke stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to look at Lynn, who had just gotten into the car.
At first glance, Motchig didn't recognize it, and when Lynn grinned and walked to the side, he widened his eyes, said the last sentence of the microphone, quickly took off the headphones, and said excitedly: "Oh, this is not our Lynn. Gargo, a super battle hero? How did you end up here? ...... just now"
"It's hard to put into words!" Lynn naturally concealed his attempt to escape from Berlin, and instead half-jokingly asked for credit: "My soldiers and I have cleared a big obstacle for you this time, not only killed the searchlight, but also destroyed Soviet tanks and many Soviet soldiers, should we be rewarded?" ”
"It's you, no wonder! Tsk, that's no ordinary credit, Lynn, do you know what kind of team it is? At this point, Motchig was stabbed in the arm by Ziggenke again. This action was taken into Lynn's eyes, and he sat down against the wall of the car, pulled out his shell gun, and said calmly as he reloaded it:
"I guess Colonel Bach must have been in the convoy, so I desperately led the team to attack the Soviets, and almost lost my surname, but alas...... I'm an outsider after all, am I? ”
Motchig and Ziggenke looked at each other, and Lynn's words and tone were not so much reproachful as sour words when a half-grown child couldn't get a toy, which made people laugh but couldn't get angry. Motchige immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for Lynn himself, and squatted and whispered: "It's not that we don't treat you as our own, it's just that there are some things that we can't say to you before consulting the colonel!" You know the rules! ”
"So, Colonel Bach is indeed in the convoy?" Lynn asked rhetorically.
Motchig closes his eyes to indicate default.
Lynn continued, "This convoy is escorting extremely important people, right?" ”
Motchig didn't know whether to say yes or no, but hinted: "Hehe, no wonder even Colonel Bach often praises you for being a very smart person, and you really have a future!" ”
Just as the bullets were filled, Lynn clicked on the shell gun and said, "Be sure to tell the colonel for me, my soldiers and I are the most loyal and reliable, no matter what the task, as long as he gives the order, there will never be a moment of hesitation!" ”
Hearing this, Motchig didn't say anything, and Ziggenke on the side spoke first: "I can see, Lynn, your soldiers are brave and very good at fighting, but...... Everything has to be arranged by the colonel, isn't it? ”
"I know that!" Lynn took out the second shell gun, but there were only two rounds left in his pocket, so he had to feel in his satchel, but after the previous battle, there was also little stock left, so he looked up and asked Ziggenk: "Sir, we still have two sets of night vision equipment, both of which are unusable because the batteries are exhausted, do you have any spare in the fleet?" In addition, we are seriously short of ammunition supplies, can you provide us with some more? ”
Motchig must have received instructions from Ziggenke with his eyes or expression, and by this time he had returned to the radio and picked up the headset microphone. Ziggenke replied: "Don't worry, let's report to the colonel and see what he decides!" ”
Lynn was irrefutable, silently listening to Motchig report the current situation to one of the tanks or armored vehicles in the convoy, and finally brought the situation of Lynn's small team, because he could not hear any sound in the headphones, he could only guess out of thin air what Colonel Bach had explained to his staff officers. Motchig kept saying "yes", "yes", and after a while, he took off his headphones and got up and walked over, crouched down beside Lynn again, and said in a low voice, "By our Commander in Operations, Laurentz. Colonel Bach personally ordered Sergeant Gargo and his soldiers to join the operation. Gargo, once again swear allegiance to the Head of the Empire! ”
Since August 1934, every Wehrmacht officer and soldier had to swear allegiance to the Führer when they joined the army, and even more so to the soldiers of the SS and Waffen-SS. At this time, however, when he was again asked to take the oath to the Führer, Lynn became more and more sure of his bold conjecture, and before the answer was about to be revealed, he recited the famous oath word for word: "I solemnly submit to Adolf. Hitler swore allegiance. I swear allegiance to him and to my superiors. Adolph. Hitler: Long live the victory!" (The SS oath is slightly different from that of the Wehrmacht) Motchig took one last look at Ziggenke and was affirmed by the major, and then said solemnly to Lynn: "Well, our battle hero and sincere friend, the elite soldier of the 'Vampire' commando, Lynn. From this moment on, Gargo, you are officially part of the Aryan Ark project, and you must unconditionally keep all the secrets you see, hear, and know, and give your life for the Imperial Head at all times! In a moment, you will ask your soldiers to take the oath and accept this supreme glory according to the process I have just made! ”
Aryan Ark?
The first time Lynn heard this word, all kinds of rumors related to the German Third Reich immediately popped up in his mind, such as the Führer is not dead, flying saucers, Aryan City, etc., but he didn't expect these unbelievable things to appear in front of his eyes one after another. With the last guess, he whispered to Motchig:
"Who are we escorting to where?"
Unfortunately, the SS captain did not intend to unravel all the mysteries - or, in, he did not know much about himself.
"You don't care about this for the time being, when you get to the destination, everything will be revealed!"
