Chapter 0385: Finished!
"Sergeant, your command is sure that you can take us through the German position?" The Brigadier General looked at Zheng Yingqi who had called back and said as kindly as possible: "Can you tell me what you think?"
Zheng Yingqi will not be fooled by the kindness of the old fox in front of him now. The British in World War II are all a virtue, and they can be called brothers when they need you, but once they turn their faces, they think about how to cheat you. The Expeditionary Force was cheated to death by the British who agreed to cooperate. He cannot be fooled.
"Sir, I planned to use the channels of the resistance organization to collect information from the surrounding German troops and find ways to break the deadlock, but now..." Zheng Yingqi shrugged and said, "I can do nothing."
The brigade general understood what Zheng Yingqi said was that I was powerless, and he explained helplessly: "There are traitors among the leaders of the Dutch Resistance Organization, and we can't believe them."
Zheng Yingqi said nothing.
The brigadier said earnestly: "Sergeant, our situation is now very dangerous. The Germans have noticed our existence and have been checking around them for a while. We don't have much food anymore. The Germans often check the villagers' food reserves. If they find that their food has decreased and exceeded the standard, it is easy to determine our location. We now eat one meal every day, but even so, it can last for five days at most!
In five days, we'll be done!"
This is true. Zheng Yingqi confirmed from the American pilot that these foods were prepared by the Germans before the strict investigation, and the Resistance Organization helped the British. However, as the Germans strengthened the management of food, the Resistance Organization could no longer provide food to the paratroopers. If they hadn't been saving food, their food would have been gone three days ago.
Is there nothing Zheng Yingqi can do?
Of course, his method is to reconnect with the surrounding resistance organizations, obtain more information through them, and then find opportunities to attack the German logistics convoy or material reserve center. In any case, these hidden paratroopers must disguise themselves as Germans to find a way to leave here. If they are still dressed in a British army, they can wander around for more than ten kilometers without being discovered, it is their God's blessing.
If you cannot wear German military uniforms, even if you dress up in a civilian manner, you will be noticed by the German army. After all, no matter how much you say it, it is the front line. A hundred young and strong man is so eye-catching.
But he had a way, and could not say it directly - disguised as a German army and led so many people to the forefront of confrontation from dozens of kilometers away from the front line. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is, so what Zheng Yingqi needs is absolute obedience. He previously thought that these British people should obey their orders in order to survive, but now, he has no idea.
The style of these British wives getting married and the matchmaker throwing the wall is too unauthentic. If you make any self-righteous and clever tricks on the way, you will be cheated!
It is necessary to ask them to ask themselves and understand their position, so that they can facilitate their subsequent command. The key is that there is a British brigade general. If a brigade general disagrees with his own opinions at a critical moment, he will know what other British people will choose with their eyes closed!
Zheng Yingqi is confident that in the disguise and infiltrate, this world can surpass himself...it shouldn't be possible.
Well, if there are other people sent by the system master, I will pretend that I have never said this.
"Is there really no way?" The brigade general saw Zheng Yingqi silent and said disappointedly: "I thought you had a way..."
"Sir, there are ways, but we must rely on the power of the Dutch."
"There are German moles among the Dutch! We ask them for help, and they will give us to the Germans!"
Zheng Yingqi was speechless and said in a daze. After a while, the brigadier general smiled bitterly and said, "Are we nothing else to do except relying on the Dutch?"
The pride of the haunted British Empire!
In the end, the brigade general surrendered in the face of reality - he was a brigade general and a nobleman of the British Empire. Surrendering to the Germans had a great impact on his reputation. How could he be willing to surrender unless he had to? So, after a long period of disappointment, the brigade general said to Zheng Yingqi: "Can you tell me what you think?"
"I still think that the only way we want to pass through the frontier is to pretend to be Germans, but before that, we need to get enough military uniforms from the Germans, which requires the help of the resistance organization." Zheng Yingqi looked at the brigade general and said, "At the same time, I need general, you give me enough and sufficient trust to facilitate me to take everyone away."
...
The drowning man would not even let go of a straw, let alone the wood of Zheng Yingqi? So the brigadier general agreed to Zheng Yingqi's conditions - he promised to obey Zheng Yingqi's orders, but emphasized that the orders could only be issued through him, rather than what Zheng Yingqi expected to obtain command.
In the end, Zheng Yingqi did not insist on this. After all, even if the brigade general gave him the command, he could take it away with just one sentence.
After obtaining the consent of the brigade general, Zheng Yingqi began his own plan. First, he contacted the surrounding resistance organizations through Heimer and Storm. Not every village has resistance organizations, and the connection between resistance organizations was extremely slow. It was not until two days later that Zheng Yingqi met a leader of a resistance organization with a high status.
After knowing Zheng Yingqi's identity, the other party told Zheng Yingqi all the information he had without hesitation, and Zheng Yingqi also obtained an ideal intelligence from the messy information:
In the gallon 11 kilometers away, the German army had a military uniform factory there.
This is a Dutch clothing factory. After the German army occupied the Netherlands, this clothing factory became a German military uniform factory. Because it was just a military uniform factory, there was basically no guard force there.
Zheng Yingqi did not even bring the paratroopers in Boer Village. He just led more than 20 members of the resistance organization and rushed to the gallon clothing factory overnight. He stole more than 200 new German military uniforms without knowing it. As for the supporting items on the military uniforms, such as ranks and badges, the resistance organization provided some. There were some paratroopers in Boer Village themselves, which was completely enough.
As for weapons, they could only ask for help from the Dutch. Unlike what the persecuted brigadier general imagined, the Dutch were actually very happy to give some help to these heroic liberators, so in just one day, they gathered more than a hundred German weapons, from rifles to submachine guns. Zheng Yingqi replaced the Dutch guns with the British and American weapons in the hands of the paratroopers.
After solving the problems of military uniforms and weapons, the Dutch Resistance Organization also provided a lot of information that Zheng Yingqi was interested in. The most useful thing was the situation of the surrounding troops. Combined with the intelligence obtained from the regiment headquarters, Zheng Yingqi became completely aware of the surrounding military organization.
After the preparations were completed, Zheng Yingqi contacted the 506th Regiment headquarters and agreed with him three relay locations - Zheng Yingqi could not guarantee what would happen when he infiltrated, so he prepared three relay locations for preparation. The 506th Regiment also agreed. When relaying, they would dispatch at least 6 companies of troops and arrive at three relay points at the same time.
"Sir, we will be able to act tomorrow," Zheng Yingqi said to Brigadier General Max. "Your order let the paratroopers have a good meal, take a shower and pack their outfits, put on German uniforms, and we will swagger to the front line tomorrow - our identity is a supplementary soldier of the 2nd Regiment of the 363rd Division. If it goes well, we will be able to drink black tea on the other side of the river tomorrow night."
"Yes, yes, wash up," Brigadier General Max said self-deprecatingly: "Otherwise, even if we wear new military uniforms, the Germans can smell the stinking of us--Dear Jacob, tomorrow night, we will have a good meal of black tea and rum."
After learning that they would drink the long-awaited black tea and rum tomorrow night, the trapped paratroopers were so excited that if it weren't for the officers' pressure, they would have even attracted the Germans tonight. Even so, the paratroopers who took turns leaving the basement to go to the river to wash had made a lot of noise.
The paratroopers always thought they were hiding here, except for the few people in Boer Village, no one knew about it, but how could this be possible? It was just the Dutch in Boer Village, pretending not to know, just like the British made a lot of noise tonight because they were too excited, but the Dutch in the whole village was still silent, as if they had not heard it.
Compared to the excitement of the British, Bain and Henry were much more nervous.
"Jacob, we can take them through the German-controlled area tomorrow?" Bain asked unconfidently.
"As long as there is no trouble, it will go very smoothly. Believe me!" Zheng Yingqi patted Bain's shoulder to comfort her, but Bain was still unable to let go, especially after Zheng Yingqi left, he whispered to Henry:
"I feel like these British people will make trouble tomorrow."
"Don't worry, these British guys are just a group of quails now. They must listen to Jacob's words very much - Bain, I can't wait for the British to award me a medal. Tsk tsk, I think I must be the very few people who can get medals from the British."
"I must have one of mine." Bain laughed. To be honest, it would definitely be good to get a few medals from the British.
Is the British medal easy to get?
Sure...it's hard to get!
...
As soon as the sky was dawn, the team set off. When leaving the village of Boer, many villagers hid behind the windows and watched the uninvited guests leave. The dry food provided by the Dutch people with the paratroopers set off on the road, leaving the village like a very formal German squad.
"I will definitely come back! I swear! The next time I come back here, I will definitely be the liberation!" Brigadier General Max, wearing a German uniform and rank of captain, swearing. Zheng Yingqi wanted to stuff this guy's mouth, but after thinking for a while, he gave up this crazy idea, but he cursed in his heart:
Idiot! Can this flag stand at will?
The road was very smooth. They encountered at least fifteen German troops, including patrols, transport teams and front-line German troops. However, none of them had any objections to this "friendly army" wearing brand new military uniforms, but instead pointed at them. Although such guidance made the paratroopers frightened, the reason for the Germans' guidance was nothing more than betting on this group of supplementary soldiers wearing such new clothes, how many days could they clean...
According to convention, there must be trouble, and things cannot go so smoothly.
Trouble comes. After dark, the team arrived less than 4 kilometers away from the 2nd Regiment of the 363rd Division. According to the plan, they will go right at this position and head to the No. 1 response location, but they are in trouble.
A German patrol team discovered them. The guilty paratroopers were ready for battle, but Zheng Yingqi stopped him and he first revealed his identity to the patrol team:
"We are the supplementary troops heading to the 2nd Regiment of the 363rd Division."
"My man, you've gone to the wrong place. This direction is the defense zone of the 1st Regiment, and you have to go left in the defense zone of the 2nd Regiment," the patrol officer did not think much, but said enthusiastically: "Let's do this, our patrol mission overlaps with your destination. You can follow us."
In this way, this "supplementary soldiers" team was taken away by the enthusiastic patrol team of the 1st Regiment. Fortunately, the No. 2 response point was in the defense zone of the 2nd Regiment of the 363rd Division of the German Army.
Along the way, the enthusiastic patrol officers told Zheng Yingqi about the particularities on the battlefield and kept complaining about the American paratroopers on the opposite side: "The group of American paratroopers on the opposite side are very uneasy. In the past, we had a tacit understanding of cooperation with the British, but since the opposite side was replaced by the Americans, our lives have become uneasy. The reconnaissance team touched the front line from time to time and threw shells over at all - compared to the cute British, these Americans are not likable at all."
"It's better that you're going to replenish your group. The Americans who confront you are not too bad, unlike ours. The Americans who confront us are so bad. They often set up mines and traps in the woods, and often send snipers to attack. The patrol team often suffers a lot."
Zheng Yingqi echoed the curse and thought to himself: This guy... feels like he is talking about me?
Commodore Max could understand German. The words "cute British" that the other party almost took out the gun in his left pocket. This kind of naked contempt made the Commodore feel very embarrassing...
Bain and Henry held back their laughter and pride - they wanted to think of these British people to announce: Did you hear that, this guy's difficult Americans are us!
"The defense zone of the 2nd Regiment is ahead - man, I can only send you here. If you go forward in this direction, you will meet the patrol team. They will take you there..." The German officer said in a nagging manner, and at this moment he saw the flashing flashlight and shouted immediately:
"Hi! Guys from the 2nd Regiment, here are your supplementary soldiers, come and pick them up!"
Zheng Yingqi is helpless, can't you stop here? You have to shout a few more...
He gritted his teeth, thinking about how to fool the patrol team next time, thinking that he would never be brought into the German military camp by these people - if he entered the German military camp, it would be lively...
"Replenishment soldiers? Why didn't we receive the news?" The non-commissioned officer of the patrol team came over in confusion. The flashlight shone on the faces of the 1st regiment patrol team. After a swearing, he said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm too nervous. Man, who is the leader of the Replenishment soldiers? Tell me what's going on? Why did the friendly troops send us here?"
"Well, we went in the wrong direction and entered the defense zone of the 1st Regiment," Zheng Yingqi said innocently: "We were transferred by the SS halfway through the road. They told me that we would let ourselves walk the remaining 7 kilometers."
"SS?" the officer was speechless and too lazy to ask, saying, "Okay, come with me, man, thank you. I'll leave some good things for you next time."
The two patrol teams said goodbye, but something speechless happened immediately - a German army recognized Zheng Yingqi and said in surprise: "Hi, aren't you Erich from the sniper platoon? Hi, I'm the 2nd Battalion..."
2nd Battalion? Which battalion of Frank?
Zheng Yingqi was stunned and his mind turned sharply. He just found a good excuse, but the gunshot suddenly rang out.
It was the British who fired the gun - it may be that the German finger Zheng Yingqi's actions were full of misunderstandings, or it may be that the British paratroopers were too nervous and they fired the gun.
Chapter completed!
