Chapter III: Disappearance

Qin Lun straightened his waist and sat upright on a soft chair covered with wool cushions in a standard military posture, with only the reflection of the train window in his pupils.

"He hasn't changed positions for more than two hours! Captain Bock, are you soldiers as cold as a piece of granite like Second Lieutenant Heinrich? Baron Weidenbeyler asked softly with a shake of his glass.

"The German Mountain Chasseurs are the most elite soldiers of the Empire!" Bock hesitated for a moment, then explained softly, "See the edelweiss specimen on Gerthard's chest?" The flower grows on the steepest cliffs of the Alps, where no other army would conduct military training except for the German mountain hunters! ”

Captain Bock had actually learned about Gerthhard from Skorzny and knew that his relatives had just died. However, the captain did not explain this qiē to Weidenbeyler, only vaguely attributing it to the military posture requirements of mountain chasseurs.

"I bet you that Ensign Heinrich can sit in this position until dinner in the evening!" The baron joked innocently.

"Your Excellency Weidenbeylor, it is not a gentleman's act to bet on a colleague!" Lady Monica raised her smooth chin, revealing a slender neck as white as a swan.

Grant's eyes flashed with a complicated gaze, and everyone in the carriage was the only one who understood that the coldness and stiffness on Qin Lun's face were not pretended, I am afraid that this was the truest embodiment of the heart of the "dissecter".

Not to mention the "dissecter", how could he not be so himself! O interrogators! The clown lowered his head, hid the expression on his face, and carefully studied his hands, as if the bright red face that had been peeled off by him and distorted in pain appeared in front of him.

The moonlit night elf bloodline greatly enhanced his hearing, and everyone's whispers came into Qin Lun's ears without pulling a word.

The slight sound of discussion seemed to come from the heavens of another world, Qin Lun moved his eyes, for the first time, he did not use a false smile to hide the indifference and numbness in his heart, but instead it was attributed to the result of military training.

Is it hard to maintain this position? A single room in a psychiatric hospital, a confinement room in a heavy prison...... He huddled in the corner with his knees huddled countless times, and he could not change his position for three whole days, without eating, drinking, or excreting. Now it's just a matter of opening your body and straightening your spine.

"Gentlemen, we are almost at the canyon bridge ahead, and beyond this mountain, we will enter the plain!" Skorzny came from the front of the car and reminded everyone, "After dinner, please rest as soon as possible." Tomorrow morning we'll be in Hamburg and we'll take a boat straight out to sea! ”

"Sir, since time is so urgent, why don't we call in the Air Force's transport planes?" Bock asked, a little confused.

"Our war in France is not going well, having abandoned Paris the day before yesterday...... The air corridors in the country are not very safe! "Because of the urgency of the mission, we can recruit too few strong men, and we must not lose anything!" ”

"Has Paris also been lost?" Everyone was a little distracted, they were not as well-informed as Skolzny, and they did not know the latest situation for the time being.

"The current situation of the empire is not optimistic, but according to the analysis of the intelligence services, the Allies will not be able to support it either. If this unconventional war force cannot be effectively integrated, the United States may be forced to withdraw from the war due to domestic pressure! "Without the great industrial power of the United States, we would still be able to win the final victory." Go for it, everyone! ”

"Boom!" While Skorzny was in a state of impassionedness, the carriage shook violently without giving face, causing almost everyone standing to fall to the ground.

"Enemy attack!" Skorzny pressed his palm to the floor, and his massive body jumped back to his feet with disproportionate agility, scurrying to the window to look out.

"The 'Spitfire' of the British!" Bock, who came from the Air Force, was the first to recognize the fighter in the air, "Has our intelligence been leaked?" ”

"No, it shouldn't be specifically aimed at us, otherwise, it wouldn't be 'Spitfire', but 'Lancaster' or 'Flying Fortress'." Skorzny waved his hand, "Bock, Gerthard follow me to the machine-gun compartment, and the others to the armored compartment at the front." ”

The expressions on everyone's faces were a little grim, and they happened to be at the canyon bridge at this time. If the bridge is blown up, no matter how powerful they are, they will be killed in the canyon rapids.

Qin Lun followed Skorzny and Bock into the locomotive car, and followed the lieutenant colonel to press the control button of the locomotive car. The roof and side shappes of this carriage slowly opened, revealing four 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns fixed to the base.

There were a total of two machine gun carriages in front of and behind the armored military train carrying train guns, and behind Qin Lun and them was a huge train gun. The 650 mm caliber shell weighed five tons, however, it was not needed for hitting ~ aircraft.

"There are only two planes, Gerthard you are in charge of the one on the left, let me see your marksmanship in the mountain hunters!" Skorzny shouted loudly in the strong wind.

Qin Lun jumped into the machine gun position, holding up the grip of the machine gun with both hands, but there was a wry smile in his heart. In Gerthhard's memory, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun operation method, but half of the use of an anti-aircraft machine gun to hit ~ the plane depends on luck, and it has nothing to do with marksmanship.

"Da Da Da!" Anti-aircraft machine guns were intertwined with the roar of Spitfires.

"Dangdang!" The machine gun baffle in front of Qin Lun sounded like rain hitting bananas, watching the baffle quickly deform and raise two rows of craters, Qin Lun couldn't help but hang two strings of sweat beads on his face. If you are hit by a machine-gun bullet from an airplane, it may make no difference whether it is a law or not!

The two machine-gun carriages in front and behind the armored train weaved a tight net of fire in the air, and the Spitfire had no chance to destroy the bridge with the small bombs it carried. After two rounds of strafing, he pulled up and left.

After returning to the limousine, there was some silence. Half a year ago, there were few enemy fighters in Germany, but now it has become the norm, and this recognition makes everyone feel the heavy responsibility of this mission.

After a day and a night of speeding, the armored train finally arrived at Hamburg station in the evening of the next day. As soon as he entered the hotel used for disguise, Skorzny received very unfavorable news.

"Missing, how could it be missing?" The lieutenant colonel roared loudly at the German gendarmes who came to report.

In addition to combatants, the Einsatzgruppen needed an expert who could read the high-tech materials of the Allies. Dr. Keller, who had come from Berlin to join the German secret research force, was not only an outstanding biochemical expert, but also a scholar of physics and mechanical engineering, and was the most indispensable core figure in the operation.

But now, Dr. Keller and his assistant have disappeared from the residence of the villa, right under the noses of many German gendarmes.

"Lieutenant Colonel, let's go to that villa and maybe find some clues!" Baron Weidenbeyler said with a smile undiminished.

"Take us to the Doctor's villa!" Skorzny ordered with a cold face.

The German gendarmes led a group of Einsatzgruppeng to a villa on the outskirts of Hamburg. The garden villa is unremarkable from the outside, but underneath it is a secret German research institute in Hamburg. When Dr. Keller arrived in Hamburg, he stayed here for a short time, waiting to meet the others.

"Lieutenant Colonel, the Doctor was here last night, and we thought he was reading in the study." The head of the gendarmerie at the villa said dejectedly, "It wasn't until this morning that we found out that the doctor was missing, and he and his assistant could not be found in the whole villa, as if both of them had disappeared out of thin air!" ”

The study was all in order, with books neatly arranged in the corner of the desk, a notebook spread out on the table, and a fountain pen and a cold cup of coffee beside it. It shows that the owner did not struggle and entangle too much before leaving, as if he was called out of the study and disappeared into the air.

"Are there any missing people besides the Doctor and his assistants?" Monica walked over to the desk with the corner of her skirt and flipped through the contents of her notebook. However, she quickly gave up, and it was basically some scientific research notes, which did not help in finding a doctor.

"Two more gendarmes are missing, but they are the most loyal German soldiers......" replied the captain of the gendarmerie, after a moment's hesitation.

Qin Lun's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction, and there were also Skorzny, Grant, and Baron Weidenbeyler who had the same movements as him.

The men looked at each other, and the baron, frowning, walked over to the fireplace, crouched down and brushed the ashes. The unburned charcoal in the hearth has mottled damp dark lines.

"It's human blood!" Weidenbeeller twisted the damp charcoal ash with his fingers, and as soon as his head reached into the fireplace, he shrank back like lightning, and pointed to the chimney of the fireplace with an ugly face, "The two missing gendarmes have found ......"

The gendarmes dragged the bodies of two colleagues out of the blood-smeared chimney, where they were hung with charcoal sticks from the fireplace.

"I know who did it!" Skorzny's face turned pale, and the knuckles of a pair of iron fists rattled.

"Does the Doctor have any clothes left here?" After a moment's hesitation, the lieutenant colonel asked the captain of the gendarmerie.

"Yes!" The captain of the gendarmerie took a pair of white gloves from his subordinates and handed them to Skorzny, "These are the gloves worn by the doctor!" ”

The lieutenant colonel put his nose on the glove, sniffed hard, a fine light flashed in his eyes, flew over the window, jumped directly from the study on the third floor, and his loud shout came from outside: "Come with me!" ”

"Hehe, the lieutenant colonel is really resolute!" Weidenbeyler turned his cane and walked to the window, turning gracefully on his back.

Qin Lun and Grant glanced at each other, and jumped from the window with a wry smile, with their bodies, they would not be injured at a height of more than ten meters.

"It's so ugly!" Monica reached out to cover her face and shook her head helplessly, she was dressed in a costume, but she couldn't learn from those rude men, so she had to carry the corner of her skirt up the stairs.
