Chapter 18: The First Battle of Warsaw

"Boom" A house not far from them suddenly exploded, and by the light of the explosion, Tian Jing finally saw clearly that the person who asked him was actually a woman, a blonde foreign woman. In the deep sunken eye sockets, under the dense long eyelashes is the color of sea blue, even in the night, you can see the fair and smooth skin of her skin, straight nose, thin lips, pointed and slightly upturned chin, and a few strands of blonde hair faintly visible under the hat.

"You're not Chinese?" Tian Jing's outstretched hand froze in the air, and she suddenly began to hate the explosion just now, it was that explosion that destroyed the hope in her heart.

"Yes, I am not Chinese, but I will say that Chinese, I have also been to China, and I am good friends with your wife of Chairman Jiang" The blonde woman took out a handkerchief and handed it to Tian Jing, signaling Tian Jing to wipe off those stains on her face. Maybe it was because of the same woman, Tian Jing had an inexplicable affection for the blonde woman in front of her for no reason, but the SS uniform on her body made Tian Jing a little jealous.

A tall German officer walked over and whispered a few words to the blonde woman, Tian Jing couldn't hear it very clearly, but she knew that they were speaking English just now, the worst foreign language Tian Jing spoke. "Let's go, you follow us, I know where there are still Chinese" Without waiting for Tian Jing to refuse, the blonde woman took a steel helmet from the German SS soldiers next to her and fastened it on Tian Jing's head, pulling the dizzy Tian Jing under the protection of the SS army all the way west along the messy streets.

After turning a few blocks, Tian Jing was dragged by the blonde woman into a fairly intact church, and the people who entered and exited the church were German soldiers with loaded guns, and from time to time there were a few German officers who hurried in, and the entire church had become a German command post at this time. "Yezi, I brought you a Chinese girl, you have to take good care of her" The blonde woman dragged out a young man from a pile of German officers, the short black hair and the blonde woman called him just now, let Tian Jing know that the young man in front of him was also Chinese.

"Hello, I'm Ye Kong, an overseas Chinese of German descent, who just came back from China" The young officer smiled at Tian Jing, handed Tian Jing a box of canned food and a blanket, and brought Tian Jing to a marching bed. "You see, we are very busy, you eat something first, and then sleep well, when it is dawn, I will arrange for someone to send you where you want to go, it is not safe outside now" Xu saw the panic and uneasiness in Tian Jing's eyes, Ye Kong also sat with Tian Jing on his forehead for a while, watching Tian Jing finish eating the canned food, and then returned to the pile of officers.

As if dreaming, Tian Jing was lying on her side on the marching bed, her eyes staring straight to her left front, and she found another Chinese face in the church, and next to the blonde woman, an equally young Chinese, also wearing the uniform of an SS officer. Zhao Zhi, who was giving orders to his mercenaries, did not know that there was a Chinese girl who was spying on him, the German army was advancing very fast, as a temporary combat unit, Zhao Zhi and his mercenary team were tasked with testing new weapons in actual combat.

The shrewd Hitler was not satisfied with the data that Bazooka was just bombarding the target, he valued Bazooka's power more in actual combat, and Zhao Zhi, who pushed the boat along the way, took a mixed squad of mercenaries and SS soldiers into Poland after obtaining Hitler's consent. The continuous and uninterrupted battle is the best training ground to test these foreign mercenaries, for the safety of Rowling, before leaving, Zhao Zhi passed Heinrich, who was in charge of the Gestapo? Himmler transferred another batch of mercenaries recruited in the United States, and before the attack on Warsaw, the number of mercenaries under Zhao Zhi had reached 150.

Zhao Zhi knew the combat strength of the German army, but the smooth attack on Poland made him a little unbelievable, after Zhao Zhi transferred 200 new walkie-talkies and 100 bazooka from the United States at one time, Hitler arranged for Zhao Zhi's mercenary troops to participate in the attack on Warsaw, the original plan to take Warsaw in 10 days was greatly shortened because of the appearance of walkie-talkies and Bazooka, and in just three days, the German troops attacking Warsaw occupied two-thirds of Warsaw's urban area. The Warsaw Resistance was crushed by the well-communicated German squads, and as the Panzers moved into the city, the space occupied by the Resistance would become smaller and smaller.

Zhao Zhi naturally didn't come to buy strength in vain, his mercenaries all received secret orders, and without being discovered by the Germans, they did their best to collect the spoils of war, as long as they handed over thirty percent to Zhao Zhi, the rest would belong to them. Rowling, who had just stumbled upon Tian Jing, went to another safe neighborhood to count the loot, and a mercenary team under Hans found a building belonging to the Polish aristocracy, and found a lot of valuable oil paintings and silverware in it.

It was Zhao Zhi's idea to occupy this church as a temporary command post, and Zhao Zhi's mercenary troops were also fighting with a German army, Zhao Zhi adopted the tactics of advancing layer by layer, and long before the Warsaw Offensive was launched, Zhao Zhi divided the Warsaw city into several districts with the simple German attack force. With the help of the strong mobility and strong protection ability of the armored forces, the German tank units directly split the whole Warsaw into several small areas, under the cover of armored vehicles, the German infantry blocked the streets, set up bunkers at the street corners to close the resistance into a dead end, and cleared those resistance troops at fixed points in each area.

Zhao Zhi's step-by-step style of fighting was naturally not valued by the German command, but when other troops were resisted to the death, the troops commanded by Zhao Zhi made rapid progress. After receiving the report from the Gestapo, Hitler, who was far away in Berlin, personally ordered to fight according to Zhao Zhi's tactics, and the German command, which was overwhelmed by the resistance, went downstairs by a ladder and finally agreed to adopt Zhao Zhi's tactics.

"Are you Chinese?" Tian Jing, who was woken up at dawn, saw the black-haired man she peeped at last night, and the church that was still very busy last night was empty, and the SS soldiers and German officers in Tian Jing's memory were gone, and the church was also cleaned, as if there had never been a German.

"My name is Tian Jing, I am a Chinese who have studied in Germany for 37 years, I am from Hangzhou, and my family is in the cloth business" Tian Jing, who drank a glass of milk, recovered a little and carefully looked at the Chinese man in front of him wearing a German SS uniform. "May I ask why you are fighting for Germany? Aren't you Chinese? Tian Jing was a girl who couldn't hide things in her heart, and when she saw that the man in front of her didn't seem to have any malicious intent, she roared and said the doubts in her heart.

Zhao Zhi smiled, took the military hat from Rowling beside him and put it on his head, and said lightly, "My name is Zhao Zhi, we are not fighting for Germany, we are fighting for ourselves." Do you have a place to go? If not, I will arrange for someone to send you back to Germany or China" Tian Jing finally chose to take Karina to Germany, their Tian family had already moved to Germany, Zhao Zhi specially found the Gestapo people to get two documents for Tian Jing, with the Gestapo documents, Tian Jing can return to Germany smoothly without the escort of mercenaries to reunite with her family.

Tian Jing's appearance was only a small episode for Zhao Zhi, he had more important things to do, and the most in Warsaw was not the Resistance Army, but the Jews and Polish nobles who gathered a lot of wealth. According to Hitler's order, the German army occupying Poland not only wanted to expel the Jews in Poland, but also to bring back a large amount of wealth and materials from the occupied areas back to Germany.

Banknotes, Zhao Zhi doesn't want it, what gold, jewelry, oil paintings, valuable crafts and antiques are Zhao Zhi's goals, and the cars and trucks that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Warsaw are also in Zhao Zhi's pocket, the space of the Polish Resistance has been squeezed to the last district, and the rest is the matter of the German armored forces, after throwing out the genuine German SS soldiers under his command to receive prisoners, Zhao Zhi and his subordinates are already busy collecting the spoils of war, and the mighty convoy swept through the occupied area that has been safe, After Bazooka's ammunition was exhausted, they would return to Berlin with the loot.

Rowling looked at the bag of diamonds in her hand, and her eyes turned into two rounds of crescent moons, "The war is really money, just Warsaw City has got so many good things, if the Germans are fighting Britain and France, we can also participate, and the loot we will get will be several times more than now" Zhao Zhi, who was concentrating on driving, glanced at Rowling angrily. Rowling is also a member of the Lockman family, how did she become such a face when she was with herself, her head was full of robbing other people's things, and she was a medieval female pirate.

Zhao Zhi took the mercenaries to participate in the German army's operation, this is probably the first and last time, if Britain, France and the United States know that he helped the German army attack Poland, it will not be a good thing for his upcoming counterfeit money plan. Participating in the Warsaw attack, Zhao Zhi was just showing Hitler the power of walkie-talkies and bazooka, and by the way to get some benefits for himself, if it was really for the spoils of war to help the German army fight, then the foreshadowing and efforts he had done before would be in vain.

Zhao Zhi is a mercenary, and mercenaries should fight for profit, but after coming to this era, Zhao Zhi's mood gradually changed. Now he hopes that he has the strength to protect his lover, and the strength to dare to draw his sword in the face of the enemy, instead of guarding a bunch of boring bank deposit numbers for a lifetime, that kind of life is not what Zhao Zhi wants.
