Chapter 65: Berlin's Flowers (2)
The final battle of the German battlefield of World War II began just two days after Steve returned to the Allied forces, at this time, the Allied soldiers who got the energy blocks had just mastered the use of the energy blocks, but Eisenhower did not delay any longer, because the silence of the Nazis made him faintly feel that something was wrong.
At dawn, the Allied high-level triumvirate issued an attack order at the same time, and the Allied soldiers who had been recuperating for a day in advance flocked to Berlin like a tide, and the sound of artillery fire, shouts, and footsteps resounded in the night sky that had not yet dispersed.
The first round of artillery fire ploughed all the houses and streets on the outskirts of Berlin, but to the confusion of the Allies, they were about to rush into Berlin, but none of the German soldiers appeared, and in front of them was a quiet city, without the slightest sound, except for the crackling sonata of the performers who had not yet had time to extinguish the fire after the artillery fire.
The three million army stopped its advance, the ring encircled Berlin completely, and Eisenhower held an emergency meeting with Zhukov and Konev.
After initial suspicion, the Allied top brass finally agreed, and four hundred Allied soldiers with access to power blocks were selected and entered Berlin in four directions, searching for possible traps or trembling German troops.
All the rest of the soldiers were on standby.
At this time, Steve was mixing in the camp of the U.S. military with Peggy, and this kind of large-scale frontal battlefield engagement did not necessarily require Steve to play, let alone Peggy's agent, but given that Steve knew the specific location of the Nazi underground base, Eisenhower still asked Steve to go with the army, and Peggy purely followed by herself.
As a veteran agent, Peggy is not inferior to an old veteran in terms of courage and skill, so Steve followed Peggy's wishes after many failed dissuasions, but to Steve's annoyance, Peggy not only came by herself, but also brought the little girl Natasha.
Natasha is just a ten-year-old girl, Steve really can't figure out why Peggy would bring her to the battlefield, although the Allies have a great chance of winning, but this can't be an excuse to take the child to the battlefield, but Peggy decided on this, and insisted on taking Natasha with her, and finally Steve had to pinch his nose and respond. If something really happens, he can only do more on his own, Steve thought helplessly.
After waiting for nearly three hours in the same place, four groups of Allied soldiers who entered Berlin to explore the road came out of the city, and the answers they received surprised Eisenhower and others.
Four hundred people searched around Berlin and finally came to the conclusion that the huge German capital Berlin was completely empty, and 100,000 German soldiers? No kidding, there is no one in this city at all, and four hundred people even broke into nearly half of the buildings and searched room by room, but still no one was found.
The Germans, the Nazis, I don't know when, completely disappeared from Berlin.
"Impossible! Our encirclement is impermeable, where can the Germans flee? Not to mention 100,000 people, even if there is only one person, it is almost impossible to find out the encirclement of the allies at night! In the temporary command room, Zhukov frowned and looked at the map of Berlin on the table, he absolutely did not believe that the Germans could escape, but there was no one in Berlin, what was going on? Could it be that the Germans will all be invisible?
"Most likely, the Germans are hiding in underground bases." Eisenhower remembered what Steve said about the Nazi-built underground base, which of course could not accommodate 100,000 people, but what if there were ten, or even dozens, of such a base under Berlin?
"Yes, since there is no one on the ground, the biggest possibility is that it is underground, but if that's the case, it's tricky." Konev also frowned, as far as he knew, there was only one underground base known to the Allies, and that was the one where the Nazis were hiding, but after experiencing the theft of the energy block, Dr. Zola and the robbery of the Rubik's Cube in the universe, the Nazis may have already changed the hiding point, Berlin is not a small city, in this metropolis, it is really not easy to find the entrances to a dozen or dozens of underground bases, even if it is to mobilize all the soldiers to participate in the search.
And the most important question for the Allies at present is not this one, the most troublesome question at present is that Berlin, the capital of Germany, stands empty in front of you, so whether the Allies occupy this city or not?
If it is occupied, then the Allies must bear the risk of breaking out at any time. The Germans are like hunters lurking in the shadows, they may find a knife from the underground base at any time, and then retract back, as long as the Germans act carefully enough, it will be difficult for the Allies to carry out an effective confrontation, after all, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, no matter what I do, I can't rest assured.
If not, then what should the Allies do? Just surrounded outside Berlin like this, consuming alive the German troops hiding underground? Not to mention how many reserves there are in the underground base in Berlin for the time being, the Allied forces on the battlefield in Berlin alone are full of three million people, and the basic materials that these three million people need every day is an astronomical amount, and if it takes a long time, it is enough to make a small country break its muscles and bones, even giants like the United States and the Soviet Union can't do it like this, and a large army is squatting here like a watchdog.
For a while, Eisenhower was in a dilemma, and more importantly, he didn't even know how many exits those underground bases had. Then it really becomes a pig's head.
"Detachment, I'll send a team for Steve to take the lead to that Nazi base to check, in addition, Dr. Zola's side should be able to provide some information, and the rest, allocate a million troops to go through the whole of Berlin for me, and continue to defend the rest. And, Marshal Zhukov, is Paul awake? ”
"Not yet, I guess it will take another day or two." Zhukov replied helplessly, compared to Dr. Zola, a scientific researcher, Hitler's former henchman Paul obviously knows more, but the other party has not woken up yet, and his body is still very weak, and he may not be able to follow Paul's path for the time being.
Eisenhower sighed and said slowly: "Now we can only pray to God, pray that the Germans did not dig too deep and too far when they built these underground bases, otherwise, we would really become a joke." ”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Steve didn't have much doubt about the sudden order, in fact, when he first found out that there were no German soldiers in Berlin, Steve had already thought about the possible direction of the German army, the underground base, which was undoubtedly the best umbrella for the German army.
Steve, who had driven a truck out of an underground base, knew very well that there were more than one, or even more than two, entrances and exits to these bases, so he was also very worried about whether the Nazis would escape through other exits, so after receiving the order, Steve immediately selected a group of people, rushed into Berlin, and rushed towards the dilapidated little theater.
Of course, since Steve set off, Peggy, who had been by Steve's side, naturally followed suit, and what made people feel even more helpless was that Peggy was still holding little Natasha, but seeing her effortlessly following Steve in the running, it seemed that she still had some strength left, which made Steve feel a little surprised.
Although I always knew that Peggy's skills were not weak, I never expected Peggy's physical fitness to be so good.
Steve judged in his heart that the Nazis should have moved from the underground base under the small theater, so this inspection is actually more to see if he can find some clues, just like he found the film in the Prime Minister's Office before, the danger should not be great, which is also the main reason why Steve acquiesced to Peggy coming along, otherwise no matter how much Peggy insisted, Steve would never take her.
Steve, together with Peggy and Natasha, as well as the ten American GIs selected by Steve who could use energy blocks, a total of twelve people ran through the streets of Berlin without saying a word, and by the time Steve saw the outline of the dilapidated little theater, a million Allied soldiers had completed their preparations and entered Berlin in full armor, and began the troublesome task of searching for the entrance to the underground base.
