Chapter 40: The Breaking of the City

The city of Berlin was broken after all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the death of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint of the royal family, there was not much morale left in the First Legion, coupled with this long siege, the tension and suffering of this day, to this day, it can be said that what makes them stick to the city wall is only their sense of mission to serve the country and the only bit of self-esteem that they bear.

In the face of an enemy army several times larger than himself, and in the face of the incomparably powerful Giant Blade Martial Saint, no one in the entire First Legion was confident that they would be able to resist the opponent's attack and defend this ancient and glorious city.

In fact, under the cooperation of the elite SS troops who had already been ambushed in the city, it was only half a day's time from the official siege to the invasion of the city, and most of the time after that was spent on chaotic, but bloody and cruel street battles in the city.

Both the First Army Corps and the Royal Gendarmerie were far more tenacious than the German National Socialist Party had imagined, and even after losing the city walls, they still resisted very fiercely, and every barricade and alleyway was turned into a battlefield, devouring the lives of the members of the German National Socialist Party inch by inch.

As a result, almost all the top echelons of the German National Socialist Party, including Jang Ang and Adolf, joined the battle and began to accelerate the occupation of the city.

And even with their intervention, the street fighting lasted for two days, devouring the lives of nearly 10,000 members of the German National Socialist Party.

Finally, and the greatest resistance, came from Charlottenburg Palace, where the last remaining people, whether it was a few regular regiments, gendarmerie, royal guards, or some big nobles and high-ranking officials, all gathered for the final desperate resistance. Although there are not many people here, they are all masters without exception. Even though the army of the German National Socialist Party had besieged the palace layer by layer, and even Zhang Ang had attacked several times, it was only at the expense of more people than when he attacked the city gate that he was able to capture the castle and occupy the city in the real sense.

The battle had just ended, and chaos reigned in Charlottenburg Palace. Some shouted orders, some carried the wounded, some drove the prisoners, some cleaned the blood from the floor and walls, and many more, rummaging room by room, looking for something.

"How's it going?" Adolf asked with a frown in the chaotic hallway.

"Also...... Not yet. Intelligence Minister Franz wiped the sweat from his forehead: "We suspect that there is a secret passage in the palace! The captured guards are being tortured, and they should be found out immediately....."

"You must find it!life or death!" Adolf commanded sharply, "I don't need to tell you how much an impact an emperor will have on our cause if there is an emperor outside." ”

"I understand! I understand!" Intelligence Minister Franz assured repeatedly: "No matter which hole he is hiding in, I promise to find him!"

With that, he walked into a room at the end of the corridor with a gloomy face.

After a while, the terrible screams came from that side, one after another, long and short, strong and weak, making people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

It took him about a quarter of an hour to emerge from the room, his hands clean, but his face still stained with a few splashes of blood.

Walking quickly in front of Adolf and other high-level officials, he bowed: "Asked!"

"Lead the way!" Adolf didn't say.

Everyone walked all the way to a small study on the ground floor of the palace.

Desks, chairs, and bookshelves were removed, heavy blankets were rolled up, and a small door one meter square was revealed on the floor.

Grabbing the iron ring on the small door and pulling it up, a swarthy hole appeared in front of everyone, and the long staircase spread into the dark darkness, looking like it was not knowing how deep.

Sure enough, there is a secret passage! In the end, it is a royal palace, which is heavily defended and has many life-saving measures. The three holes of the cunning rabbit are nothing more than that.

And in a dark passage like this, there is a high probability that there will be an ambush below.

But now time is running out, and the most important thing is to capture His Majesty Wilhelm, the German Emperor who has escaped!

With a few waves of the intelligence minister, Franz, a group of seven or eight masters of the German National Socialist Party lit torches and entered the secret tunnel.

Seeing his subordinates enter the dark passage, everyone looked serious and waited nervously.

After a while, there was a sound of fighting in the dark passage! Sure enough, there was an ambush! There were also master guards around the emperor! They should not have run far yet!

didn't care much, Adolf hurriedly led people into the dark passage.

But I only took two steps......

"Boom!"

There was a deafening roar in the dark passage, and the entire ground seemed to shake twice, and then a violent wave of air spurted out of the mouth of the dark passage with countless dust, making people almost unstable on their feet.

"Cough" "cough" "cough" ......

In the midst of a burst of coughing, everyone puffed up their internal qi and released it outside, dispersing the dust that had spread throughout the room.

What's going on? Why is there such a big movement?

The higher-ups hurriedly retreated from the dark passage and looked at the smoke-filled hole in confusion.

After hesitating for a moment, Intelligence Minister Franz waved his hand again, and two more of his men stepped forward, wetting the strip of cloth with water from the kettle, covering their mouths and noses, and then entering the secret tunnel.

It took a while for them to emerge from the dark passage and report: "The tunnel has collapsed! The whole thing has collapsed, and the road has been completely blocked! Several of our comrades have been crushed inside......

Sighing, Adolf commanded: "Then why don't you hurry up and clean up the secret passage? Or find out where this secret passage leads! Since it can be built, someone must know about it! Even if you can't find anyone, dig it up for me! No matter what, you must find and arrest people! No matter whether you live or die!"

The intelligence minister Franz next to him nodded repeatedly: "I'll arrange it, I'll arrange it!"

At this time, a person walked in outside the study.

It was Klose, the deputy minister in charge of purging the sporadic revolts in the city and stabilizing the situation in Berlin.

I saw him go straight to Adolf's side and whisper something in his ear.

His voice was so soft that even Zhang Ang, who was standing next to Adolf, could only hear a few words such as "gendarmerie", "silver eagle", "sister", and "found".

But Adolf's face suddenly changed, and all the original majesty and seriousness disappeared, as if his face had changed, sometimes angry, sometimes tangled, sometimes frowning, sometimes gritting teeth......

Finally, he sighed: "Forget it, I'll deal with it myself, lead the way!"

Then he turned around and commanded, "Go on! Go down the tunnel! Get them back!

As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to respond, he followed Deputy Minister Klose out of the small study.

Watching Adolf leave, Zhang Ang thought about it and strode towards the door.

"Who are you?" asked Intelligence Minister Franz.

"Oh, I'm going to the Siegfried family!" Zhang raised his head and walked straight out.
