"General!"

"General!"

Kloer. Nikolai and Hannah. Sean stood straight in front of General Steck.

"Sit down." Steck looked at his two juniors with a smile. These are the children of old comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him.

Although Nikolai had a great deal of friction with General Ernst at the beginning, in the battle of Montfokon, all kinds of knots were untied. Except, of course, Adolf. Hitler still holds a grudge against Nikolai for what he did to General Ernst.

Steck watched them sit down: "Why did you come back late?" ”

"Report to the general, we have some trouble in Shanghai." Kloll told the legendary former skeleton commando: "We were interrogated by the Japanese in Shanghai. ”

"Oh, the Japanese?" Steck frowned.

To be honest, many people in the German army did not have a good opinion of the Japanese. The key reason lies with General Ernst.

General Ernst once mentioned to his teammates two Asian countries, one China and the other Japan.

General Ernst never hesitated to praise China, but he was always full of contempt and disdain for Japan.

The comrades-in-arms who had been with General Ernst for a long time were all affected without exception

"Yes, General." "It is very strange that the Japanese military police broke into our hotel at night, confiscated our radio station, and took us to the military police headquarters," Kloll said. But it was Kobayakawa Kobayakawa who was talking to us."

"Did he say anything?" Steck asked with a deep groan.

"When Kobayakawa saw us. It seemed that his expression was very complicated, and he asked us some questions about why he came to China, and then warned us to be careful in Shanghai. Then they let us go, and the radio was given back to us. ”

Kloier's words made Steck's brows tightly locked, what did the Japanese want to do?

Inexplicably captured two German agents, and then inexplicably released?

Hannah said at this time: "General, we investigated, and probably knew something, it seems that two Chinese people are said to have assumed our identities. Assassinated a Chinese tycoon who was preparing to defect to the Japanese. ”

"Pretending to be you?" General Steck stood up, walked over to his desk, and muttered.

What's going on? Steck thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Chloll and Hannah were only able to gather up as much information as they said.

Maybe General Ernst will be able to figure it out here

Thinking of General Ernst, Steck looked up at the wall, where there were two portraits, one of which was of the Reich Führer, Adolf. Hitler's. Another pair. It is the legend of the empire Ernst. Bream's.

There was a very strange thing, Ernst. Bream didn't leave a single photo for posterity.

Even the photographs taken by the American journalist Beasley for General Ernst were inexplicably faulty during the processing process, and as a result, all of them were invalidated.

Reich Führer Adolf. Hitler gave the order to hang portraits of himself and General Ernst side by side, which made it difficult for the people below.

In the end, he had no choice but to draw a portrait of General Ernst's old comrades-in-arms. But something even stranger happened again

Everyone's description of General Ernst is actually different!

Everyone who fought alongside General Ernst had the general's face firmly engraved in their minds, and they swore an oath. No matter how many years have passed, as long as General Ernst appears in front of him. They can recognize it at a glance.

But I found myself unable to describe it with my mouth!

Some say that General Ernst's face was more oriental, like Rommel.

But this statement was quickly refuted by Manstein: no, Ernst looked exactly the face of a German! Immediately Richthofen put forward his opinion:

"I have the best relationship with Ernst, we've been locked up together, is he supposed to look like this, maybe a mix of East and West? Hell, hell! Ernst's appearance is in my mind's eye, and I know him more than my own wife, so what can't I say?

When these questions were fed back to the Reich Führer Adolf. Hitler was there, Hitler was very angry and loudly rebuked his subordinates for being confused!

Can't you even describe General Ernst's countenance?

He has a handsome Germanic face, ah the chin should have some oriental taste? Damn it! Hitler was a little annoyed:

"He was a handsome, mighty German officer!"

In the end, he could only take a compromise opinion, synthesizing the various descriptions of General Ernst, and shaping them into a statue of Parisplatz in Berlin.

And all portraits of General Ernst are based on this statue

Looking at the portraits on the walls, Steck felt like the General Ernst in his mind, but he always felt that there was something unsatisfactory.

There is indeed something missing

"General, are you missing Baron Alexon again?" Hannah asked cautiously.

"Yes, I miss General Ernst again, isn't that true of your father?" Steck asked, looking back.

"He's always thinking about it, too." Hannah sighed softly: "In front of others, my father never showed his feelings, but a few times, I remember that it was when I was a child, I couldn't sleep at night, and when I got up, I always saw that the light in the living room was on, I secretly looked at my father, and found that he was quietly crying there, do you know, general, in my impression, my father is so strong, I heard that even if we are defeated, my father will firmly tell everyone that one day Germany will rise again I asked him what he was crying for, he hugged me and said, He lost one of his best brothers, and when I grew up, I learned that his best brother was General Ernst."

"Everybody misses him," Steck began to feel emotional.

Klell said loudly, "General, I think we should shift our thoughts about the baron to the great cause of avenging him!" Every German misses the Skull Baron, every German reveres the Skull Baron, but we will not grieve, we will only finish the unfinished glory of General Ernst with the most angry iron fist! Conquer all of Europe! ”

Steck smiled slightly, they had not yet understood the true meaning of the spirit of Ernst. But one day they will surely understand what glory is.

"Well, sad things don't affect us." Steck perked up: "I was supposed to return to China soon, but I received an order that a batch of our aid to China was about to arrive, and I would assist the Chinese government to complete the reception before leaving. This was a huge and very important shipment, and because of the constant protests of the Japanese government, we had to ship it to China in a secret situation. And your task is to work together to accomplish this task. ”

"Yes, General!"

"How's the situation in Shanghai?"

"Very bad, General." Kloll exclaimed: "The Japanese have occupied most of Shanghai and have landed at Jinshanwei, and the Chinese army is retreating. Among them, the 19th Group Army has entered the area of the Wufu Line, but there are many problems with the construction of fortifications such as the Wufu Line, and General Xue Yue is ordering his troops and requisitioning a large number of people to repair them, hoping to improve the fortifications as much as possible before the arrival of the Japanese army."

As he spoke, he came to the map and said: "The Japanese troops who landed at Jinshanwei were strongly blocked by the Chinese army in Songjiang, and we got some very reliable information on the way back, and it was Wu Keren's 67th Army that resisted in Songjiang, and it was also equipped with a battalion of the Guards Battalion of the Chinese 19th Army Headquarters. ”

Steck nodded: "Songjiang has a strong role in whether the Japanese army can be stopped, whether it can complete the retreat for the Chinese army to the greatest extent, and improve the fortifications, do you think the 67th Army can hold it?" ”

"We can't know for sure." Hannah helped Klell and said: "But we also got an information that the Sugawara Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was annihilated by the Guards Battalion, and the captain of the group, Naomasa Sugawara, was captured."

"What?" Steck thought he was at a loss: "You said that a battalion of the Chinese routed a brigade of the Japanese and captured their captain?" ”

"Yes, that's true." Kloll smiled bitterly: "We didn't believe it at first, but we have asked our intelligence officers many times to confirm that this is indeed the case. This battalion of guards had a number of tanks and wheeled combat vehicles, a large number of cars, a very large number of machine guns and submachine guns, and some mortars "

"This combat method is very familiar to me, a quick assault, with ferocious firepower to suppress the enemy, to achieve the purpose of defeat. Previously our skeleton commandos were often used under General Ernst. Steck let out a long breath: "Forget it, even if a battalion can achieve great results, it will not play a decisive role in the whole battle, and they will soon lose the siege of the Japanese army." Kloll and Hannah, your important task now is to safely deliver these weapons to the Chinese government. ”

"Understood, General, we will keep the weapons safe."

Steck smiled, turned his head, and his gaze fell back on the portrait on the wall.

He noticed that the portrait of General Ernst seemed to be smiling at him. (To be continued.) )
