Chapter 44: The Raid on Schmidt
After receiving an affirmative reply from General McGinnis, George asked Frank to select an elite unit of 50 men and arrive at the front line in the night on an American transport plane.
The group worked non-stop, using the order document signed by the general himself, requisitioning 15 Wesley military jeeps at the quartermaster's place, and marched through the outpost and into the war zone.
After almost a day's long climb. Finally, I came to the place where I had agreed with Ophelia.
When George's convoy arrived, the Hydra men had been waiting for them again, and in the early hours of the morning, there was silence under the Alps, and only one car on both sides turned on the lights to hide the sight of the convoy.
Next to the dim headlights was the long-awaited Ophelia, who had changed her dress for the first time, wearing a German military uniform and a blonde hair tied back her head, looking heroic.
"Ophelia, you look cool in this outfit." George got out of the car and said hello when he saw her.
"Hello, Lord George." Ophelia ignored his teasing, but greeted him respectfully, and then said with some complaints, "Your Excellency, the original agreement didn't say that we would also be involved. ”
"Don't worry about these details, don't you also want to solve Schmidt's trouble?"
George didn't seem to hear her complaining, and in order to complete the plan faster, he forced the Hydra people to be guides, of course, this was a bit of a bully.
But he doesn't have any psychological burden to do it.
After a brief greeting, Ophelia sent someone to bring dozens of sets of German military uniforms, and now the soldiers in the Sanctuary are still wearing the uniforms issued by the American army.
It still seemed too ostentatious in enemy territory, and by the time the Germans resumed air patrols during the day, there would be a risk of exposure.
After the soldiers had changed their equipment, the two convoys converged and headed for the Alps. At dawn, we rushed to the bottom of the mountain.
The car could not move forward, so George and the others had to get out of the car and walk up the hill. In order to hide their tracks from Schmidt's men, the troops were divided into three groups.
The rest of George, Frank, Seiya, and Ophelia rushed to the location for a separate group.
In the winter Alps, the wind is cold and the fog is filled.
George had only heard of its name in his previous life, and had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone the untouched primeval forest today, and he found many abandoned bunkers along the way.
According to Ophelia's answer, these were improvised by Schmidt's troops, and later fell out with the mustache and were flanked by the Germans in front and the woolly bears in the back.
They had to abandon all the territory they had occupied, retreating into the mountains, and with the help of the inner ghosts, they bypassed the Red Skull patrol route.
There was an abandoned camp that came without danger, and after all the troops had converged, the group opened the military canned food and ate it.
It was still afternoon, and an immediate attack would easily provoke Schmidt's reaction, and George was prepared to wait until the night to carry out the operation.
While everyone was eating, he came to the outside of the camp and gathered the energy of the small universe into his eyes, looking at the location that Ophelia had spoken.
I saw only a huge flat ground that had been dug by hand, surrounded by soldiers patrolling and guarding, and the tents of all sizes were set up in place.
On the half-cut mountain cliff, an iron gate about five meters high is open, and a large number of soldiers are constantly coming in and out.
George figured that this must be some secret base of Schmidt, although he looked at it up close now and felt that the camp was very conspicuous.
However, it is not easy for a really high-altitude reconnaissance plane to find it accurately in the vast Alps, in the fog and snow-covered forests.
Now neither the German army, nor the American army nor the woolly bear have developed to the point where the satellites in the sky have taken a photo in the previous life, and the camps in the underground tunnels can be photographed for you.
As night fell, the Sanctuary troops, led by Frank and Seiya, marched toward the Schmidt camp, and Frank kept his feet down and kept weaving through the woods.
In order to avoid making a big movement, the speed of the march was deliberately suppressed, and no lighting equipment was used. Since being injected with the serum, only his night vision is greatly enhanced.
Soon he led the people to a reverse slope at the entrance of the camp, and the footsteps of patrolling kept coming from his head.
He silently counted the time of each patrol in his mind, when the sound of his boots stepping on broken leaves came again.
In the dark night, Frank was like a black lightning bolt, taking the lead in attacking, and the soldiers of the Sanctuary behind him followed, while Seiya on the other side made the same choice.
In less than ten seconds, all the patrol soldiers of the Red Skull were silently wiped their necks, without warning.
It is estimated that they are also afraid of revealing the location, and the large-scale searchlights are not used in the camp, and the people inside cannot detect the situation outside in time.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Frank and his party quickly stood up, pretended to be guards, and joined Seiya at the gate of the camp.
George was waiting for news from the troops in the abandoned camp, and he couldn't help but tease as he looked at Ophelia's nervous appearance in front of him.
"Ma'am, are you afraid that Seiya won't be able to complete the mission?"
"No.. I'm just a little nervous, sir. After all, we have a little less of them. ”
He could understand Ophelia's feelings, after all, if he failed, he could pat his ass and leave, and what they would face was the craziest revenge.
However, this assumption is not true, and using Seiya to deal with these ordinary people is already a knife to kill chickens, and there is no possibility of failure.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to comfort the nervous beauty beside him, a long birdsong sounded in the night sky.
"Look, isn't that done!"
George stepped forward and hurried towards the Red Skull camp.
When he arrived, the entire camp had been completely controlled by the troops of the Sanctuary, and the corpses had already been cleaned up by Frank and the others. I can't tell that I've been attacked.
"George, this is an easy task." Frank teased lightly, "Next time you can't let Seiya be together, I haven't done much yet, he robbed it all." ”
"Don't get cheap, sell well! Let's go, let's go inside. George scolded angrily, looked at Seiya who was expressionless on the side, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the iron door.
He looked at the huge iron door in front of him, just thinking about how to open it. Ophelia hurriedly spoke, "Your Excellency George, an iron door will be locked from the inside at night, do you want to try it if I brought explosives?" ”
George sneered, looked at her with retarded eyes, and locked the door in front of the Saint Seiya.
"Seiya, open it up."
"Yes, my lord"
