Five hundred and ninety-nine. Cairo assassination

When Gilbert translated the telegram, he was very pleased, because he knew that Lawson. Heatontown, for its part, was already suspicious. He showed the telegram to Major Wattel. Major Wattel, of course, understood what was happening. But Cairo's radio station must not be bombed, because it is the main means of communication of the German army, and he cannot afford such a high price.

However, Major Wattle finally came up with a solution, and he asked Gilbert to take a copy of Lawson. Heaton's name called back, saying, "The attack is planned to be carried out in the near future, please wait for good news." ”

Four days later, a Dutch newspaper controlled by the Germans ran a headline: "Last night, a group of militants attacked Radio Kotwick, but was repelled by the defenders, and three of the attackers were killed, one of whom was Lawson, the commander of the attack. Heaton. ”

At the same time, London also received a telegram saying: "The attack failed, Lawson. Captain Heaton was killed. ”

This is, of course, the "masterpiece" of Major Wattle.

However, despite the reports and telegrams, London was not at ease, so it issued a new directive that the British intelligence organization in Egypt immediately open a new line of communication to cover the return of the Allied pilots shot down in North Africa to Britain.

However, such a task would not be difficult for Major Wattel, as it would not jeopardize the safety of Operation Raid and would not cost anything. So, with the help of German intelligence, this line of communication was quickly established, and many of the Allied pilots who were shipwrecked did return to London safely.

The establishment of this line of communication shook the suspicions of the Special Operations Committee. They finally decided. The so-called from Lawson. Heaton's information was a counter-plot of the Gestapo, and he ignored it ever since.

For what happened outside the cell, Lawson was in prison. Heaton didn't know anything. When he saw that there were still constant arrests of new British intelligence officers. I thought it was Holmes who didn't send the information out of the city in time. So he decided to take a risk and managed to escape from prison and escape back to London to call the police.

Lawson. Heaton begins to prepare for his escape. He found that most of the windows of the cell were blocked by bricks, leaving only a small area above for light; The courtyard downstairs is patrolled by sentries day and night, and at night, several bright searchlights are directed at the window, illuminating the entire prison and courtyard as if it were daytime. It is impossible to escape through the window. He looked at the closed cell door again. He found that although the cell was closed, there was a fan-shaped air window on the door. Lawson. Heaton began to make his mind from this door.

The prison was temporarily converted and was once supposed to be a hotel. The internal structure has not been changed. The entire prison was loosely defended and tightened, with only one mobile post in the long corridor outside the door, but the courtyard was surrounded by barbed wire, and there was a guard every 200 meters outside the wall. Each post has a sentry except for a sentry. They are also equipped with searchlights and police dogs. Although the security is tight, it is not impossible. On a stormy night, Lawson. Heaton unscrewed the bolt of the airscreen above the door, and while the sentry in the hallway was napping, he climbed out of the airwindow and hid in the bathroom diagonally opposite. The back of the building is secluded, Lawson. Heaton relied on the climbing skills he had learned as a scout to climb through the bathroom window. Slipped down a sewer pipe next to the window to the ground. He crouched under the wall and watched, but found that there was no movement. Only then did I find a drain hole under the corner. It just so happened that the fence of that spill hole was broken, and a scrap steel bar fell there. Heaton used the scrap steel bar to pry open a few bricks and climb out of the hole in the fence.

From time to time, the searchlight of the outpost swept over the wall, and when darkness came, Lawson. Heaton scurried into a grove. It was raining heavily, and the guards did not spot the fugitives on this rainy night. So Lawson. Heaton disappeared into the rainy night along a small gully of rising water.

The next morning, Major Wattle got Lawson. When Heaton absconded, he was shocked, and the joy of the days was swept away. Because he knew in his heart that if he let Lawson. Heaton ran back to London, and his masterpiece, Operation Plunder, was about to die.

Major Wattle immediately directed the guards to conduct a search around the prison. But because the heavy rain washed away all the traces, even the police dogs could not find their target, and the search operation was fruitless. There was a small railway station three kilometers from the prison, and Major Wattel checked the train timetable at the railway station and found that there was a train passing by at about three o'clock in the morning every day. Heaton must have left Harlan in the car.

Actually, Lawson. Heaton didn't go far after escaping that night, hiding in a monastery just two kilometres from the prison.

Under the cover of the dean, Lawson. Heaton had been hiding in the convent.

And by this time, Mussolini had already reached North Africa

On November 28, 1942, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini entered Cairo in triumph.

This formidable dictator has long regarded Cairo, Egypt, and the whole of North Africa as his own, and does not think that Germany will compete with him to snatch interests in Africa.

But if it's Adolf. Hitler might have done this, but for Ernst. As far as Bram is concerned, he will never give away the benefits he has received to others.

Especially Italy, the so-called "ally"

The welcome ceremony was quite grand, and a large number of Egyptians appeared on the streets of Cairo at the request of the government, waving German, Egyptian, and Italian flags to welcome Mussolini's arrival.

Previously, the Germans had warned Mussolini that Mussolini was not advised to appear publicly, given that Cairo had just been captured and that a large number of enemy agents were still active in the city.

But Mussolini, who liked to be in the limelight, refused this favor from the Germans, and he entered Cairo in an open-top car

Standing in the convertible, waving his hands in salute the welcoming crowd, he had to show himself as a leader in front of the Egyptians.

Slightly disappointingly, most of the Egyptian officials came out to welcome them, but none of the senior German generals saw them:

Ernst. Braehm, Erwin. Rommel, von. Bismarck

Mussolini decided that in order to punish Germany, he would further narrow down what should be given to Germany in the distribution of benefits. At least until now, Mussolini still regarded himself as the "master" of the place

Guo Yunfeng was lying quietly on the roof of a building, and the sniper rifle provided for him by Xiaoling in his hand made him even more confident that he could successfully hit the target this time.

Although he didn't understand why the "Rambler" was doing this, the "Rambler" always made sense

The dictator of Italy had already appeared, and the road into the city specially arranged by the Germans, and the location that Guo Yunfeng himself had personally selected, left Mussolini's body completely exposed to gunpoint.

Shooting with such an advanced sniper rifle must be foolproof

It was definitely not a problem to kill him, but the difficulty was that he could only injure Mussolini, so there could be no mistakes.

Guo Yunfeng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then regained his scope, his fingers slowly touching the trigger

Now - shoot!

With the pull of the trigger, the bullet flew out like lightning

Mussolini, who waved his arms, suddenly fell headlong in the convertible, and the noise around him blocked the gunshots, and it was not until Mussolini fell that the Italians around him suddenly panicked.

"Assassin! Assassin! Mussolini, clasping his shoulders, cried out heartbreakingly.

There was a mess around, and the Italians didn't know what to do at the first time. It took a full minute before I reacted, saving people, guarding the guards.

The Germans in charge of policing the scene were also a little alarmed, although this Italian dictator was arrogant and annoying, but after all, he was the leader of Germany's allied countries, and if something happened here, I am afraid it would be difficult to explain.

But where did the gunshots come from? The nearby Egyptians who did not know the truth were still waving flags vigorously to welcome, and they did not know that the person they welcomed had been killed or injured.

This is what happened to Mussolini, who saw himself as the "ruler of Africa", when he finally entered the Cairo of his dreams.

And this also seems to be an ominous premonition. Maybe it's heralding something

Cairo Monastery.

When here is hidden Lawson. When Heaton saw Major Wattle appear before him, he knew it was all over.

"Lieutenant, you can always cleanse your soul in the monastery." Major Wattle looked very calm: "This is a country that believes in Islam, and there are too few monasteries here. Just now, I talked to the abbot for a long time, and he always refused to have such a person as you, and I was disappointed, how can a devout monk lie before God? ”

Lawson. Heaton looked at the dean, and found that the dean's face was pale, and he kept muttering something, so he sighed: "This has nothing to do with the dean, I coerced him to do this." ”

"Look, look, what a touching scene." Major Wattle smiled: "Protect each other, ah, no, it's to cover each other, but unfortunately, you all have to go back with me." ”

When he said this, Major Wattel's face sank suddenly:

"Lieutenant, now let's talk about the assassination of Mussolini by you and the Egyptian officer corps!" (To be continued......)
