Chapter VII: Assault
"Squeak......
The shrill sound of brakes is constantly ringing in front of the most luxurious Silesian hotel in Warsaw. Hundreds of Storm Commandos in black SS uniforms jumped from dozens of military trucks in full armor, and within half a minute they had blocked the entire street.
Immediately after that, more than a dozen SS officers got down from the three pitch-black high-end cars parked in front of the main entrance of the hotel, all of them with cold faces and exuding a compelling chill on their bodies, and they entered the door of the hotel with murderous spirits under the leadership of a first-class SS commando captain headed by them.
The lobby of the hotel has been controlled by the stormtroopers who rushed in advance, and those well-trained commandos with MP40 submachine guns firmly guarded every passage and corner of the lobby, and they used their cold eyes to intimidate the ordinary guests who were in the lobby, and the whole lobby was silent in this terrifying atmosphere.
The SS Commando Captain I, the equivalent of a lieutenant colonel, led his men slowly towards the main platform in the lobby, and he and his men made a crisp footstep on the high-grade Italian marble floors in the lobby.
The lobby manager stood behind the main desk and looked at the SS officer, his eyes full of fear and despair, who he had recognized as this officer with a face full of ruthlessness and cruelty. Manuel, Tyfer, captain of the 1st SS commando group, the most cruel butcher in Warsaw, captain of the 2nd SS special squad, wherever he appears, it turns into a sea of blood. This brutal SS officer even had the title of Doctor, and in normal times he seemed to prefer to be addressed to Dr. Tenfer rather than Lieutenant Colonel Tenfell.
Now the murderer walked to the front desk, he didn't speak, just stared coldly at the lobby manager, he raised his hand with black glove and tapped his fingers lightly on the marble table of the front desk.
The lobby manager looked horrified at the demon standing in front of him, his legs shaking like chaff. Pointed at two submachine guns, and in front of him stood a murderer who could take his life at any time, and he felt that it was definitely a miracle that he hadn't passed out until now.
After tapping on the countertop of the main desk for a while, Taifer's eyes flashed coldly, and he asked the lobby manager coldly, "Where are they?" ”
"Yes, yes, sorry. Sir. Who's that you're asking......" the lobby manager asked with a shudder.
"Where are they!"
Taifer slapped his hands on the front desk and yelled at the lobby manager.
He ...... He...... Who are they, you...... You want to know who's where. ”
The lobby manager felt that his legs were starting to weaken, and he could barely support his weight, so he hurriedly held on to the main desk in front of him.
"Who else! Those Army officers! Those damned army officers, no, those traitors, shameful liars. Where are they? Don't tell me you don't know! My people have looked into it and they stayed in this hotel last night! Tenfer grabbed the lobby manager by the collar and dragged him in front of him, whispering softly in the poor manager's ear in a cold and hideous tone.
"You, you mean the ones who came in last night...... Army officers and soldiers? Last night, last night it wasn't me...... Duty...... Please let me look it up......" The lobby manager was on the verge of crying as he felt a stream of heat flow uncontrollably from his pants.
"Then look it up!"
Tyfer slammed the manager away, and he turned to his men standing behind him and asked, "What's the report of the secret spikes monitoring here?" ”
"They reported that the group had not moved since they had been in the hotel last night, and that no one in the group had ever left the building. Doctor. An SS lieutenant replied respectfully.
"Why didn't they come to check what rooms these people live in?"
"I don't know, and I wonder how the Gestapo didn't come to investigate the exact rooms of these people. Ever since last night when we asked them to help investigate the group, the attitude of the Gestapo headquarters has been strange. ”
"Hmph, those rice buckets." Taifer sneered and said: "What else will these guys do besides investigating the ** of those generals, I shouldn't overestimate their abilities." ”
"yes, yes, the Doctor said it thoroughly." The subordinates hurriedly echoed in unison.
"Haven't you found it yet!" Tenfeller turned around and yelled viciously at the lobby manager.
"Check ...... Examine...... After finding out, they covered the entire sixth floor. ”
"Has anyone ever gone downstairs?"
"No...... They even asked the restaurant to send someone to deliver the food, and even the waiters were not allowed to go to that floor except for the food delivery. ”
"Good, huh?" Tyfer covered his nose: "What smell?" ”
"Long ...... Sir, it's my ......" The lobby manager looked at his pants with a shudder.
"Cheap Poles!"
Tyffel looked at the lobby manager in disgust, and he turned his head and whispered to an SS ensign, "I'll get rid of this shitty Polish bastard later, I don't want to see him again when I come down." ”
"Yes! Sir. ”
Tyfel then shouted to the Stormtroopers in the lobby, "Listen, all the guys, the people we're going to arrest live on the sixth floor. Now leave a squad to watch the front and rear exits, and the others will go up with me to arrest people, and call in the soldiers outside. Gather! ”
The storm commandos hurriedly got busy, and in a few moments, these commandos were standing in front of Taifer in a neat line, and the heavily armed soldiers stood in the entire hall.
"All of you, all you have to arrest in a moment are German traitors, shameless liars. They pretended to be German army officers and favored Jewish mongrels. They must not be treated with mercy, they are still armed, so you must be careful and if they resist, you will shoot them on the spot. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Very well, now you are divided into two teams, let's go up the stairs on both sides, be careful, don't alarm them. Major Scartel, you saw them yesterday, and you led a team up the stairs on the left. I led another team up the stairs on the right. We met on the 6th floor. ”
An SS major stepped out of the ranks and replied loudly: "Yes, Doctor." But do you need to go up in person? Actually, we can just bring people up. ”]
"No, Major, I'm going to see for myself who is so bold as to make trouble in my district." Taifer replied coldly.
The SS officers and commandos then split into two groups and climbed up the stairs on either side. Tenfell, walking behind a few of the leading commandos, was now filled with rage.
After the appearance of this group of troops in Warsaw, they constantly made trouble for themselves. They went to their cousin's restaurant and had a big meal, and even sent their cousin to the prison of the army headquarters. When he got the news and rushed there, poor Ralph had been beaten like rags by the army guards. Judging from my cousin's statement, they were completely against themselves, because Ralph had already made a name for himself, but the Army didn't seem to take themselves seriously at all.
Then I received a report from the ghetto, who said that a group of German officers and soldiers, with countless high-ranking medals, had rescued a Jewish imp from the hands of the Einsatzgruppen. From the descriptions of his subordinates, it appears that these men are the same people as the army officers who arrested Ralph.
I heard that the captain of the army led by him is also the winner of the Silver Oak Leaf. I was really shocked at the time, and if that was the case, I wouldn't have thought about taking revenge on those guys who insulted me arrogantly. But when he carefully compared the descriptions of Ralph and Major Scartel, he suddenly discovered a flaw in this group.
Ralph swore that the men didn't wear any medals when they ate in the dining room, but there must be something wrong with them when they arrived in the ghetto, all over their bodies.
At first, I was very cautious about this matter, although there were doubts, but if I made a mistake, it was not fun. He first reported to the SS regional commander, General Hans, but the old fellow did not know about any SS leaders' tours. Then I went to ask the Gestapo myself, and they also did not have any reports of a German army tour group coming to Warsaw. At this time, he felt that this matter was very suspicious, and he asked the Gestapo to find the place where these army soldiers had settled and investigate their true identities.
But he was still not at ease, so he sent an urgent telegram to the headquarters to inquire about the situation of this special tour group of the 10th Infantry Division. After repeatedly and carefully inquiring and confirming the appearance and medal rank of those officers, the High Command even replied that the High Command did not know about these things, and that you should go to the Army Command to check them. Then they hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to the army headquarters, and they also carefully confirmed the appearance and age of those people back and forth to them, and finally they did not answer themselves until this morning, the army has never organized any special tour groups of the 10th Infantry Division, as for this answer, should they investigate for one night?
However, when I got the news, I was completely relieved, and it seemed that these guys were impostors, either saboteurs or spies or deserters. If you let yourself catch these people, it may be a great achievement, they are so arrogant to pretend to be the army in their own jurisdiction, it seems that they are all veterans, no matter what, they must pay the price for insulting themselves.
Thinking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he opened the safety of his pistol fiercely.
"How many floors are there?" He asked his men behind him.
"There are two floors left."
"Yes, everybody, speed up, but don't make a noise!"
"Yes, Doctor." Everyone sped up their climb to the building, but at the same time everyone was careful to hold their weapons, for fear of making a noise and being scolded by the brutal boss.
Finally, Tenfer and his team of soldiers managed to quietly climb to the sixth floor, and one of the soldiers quietly pushed open the side door of the floor and looked inside.
"There was no one in the hallway. Sir. ”
"Okay, let's go up and take control of the hallway."
Tenfell and the commandos crept into the hallway of the floor. At this time, the team of commandos who climbed up from the other side also rushed here.
"Sir, what should I do?"
"Search room by room."
"Yes, sir." The commandos began to search room by room.
"Report, the doors to these rooms are unlocked."
"We only found some luggage inside, no people."
Several commandos stepped forward to report.
"Keep searching, they won't fly away." Tenfer replied coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
"Sir, we found this in a few rooms." A commando said, hugging a pile of German army uniforms.
"Put it away, it's incriminating evidence."
"We also found a lot of weapons."
"Collect it immediately. Found people don't. "Not yet."
"There's still nowhere else I haven't found."
"Only in the big lounge on the other side of the hallway."
"Okay, everyone follow me to search the big common room."
Tenfer led the group of commandos towards the end of the hallway. When he walked to the door of the break room, he heard what seemed to be a lot of people talking in the lounge.
"Sure enough, it's all here."
Tenfer raised his hand and made a silent gesture to his men, then put his ear to the door and listened.
"It sounds like there are a lot of people, and the voices of children, it should be them."
Tenfer took a few steps back and nodded to the commandos, then he stepped aside.
The commandos looked at each other and slowly approached the gate with their submachine guns in hand. With the gesture of one of the leading corporals, they simultaneously raised their feet and kicked towards the door.
With a crisp cracking of the planks, the door was kicked open, and the commandos rushed into it with a roar. The other commandos immediately rushed into the break room with their submachine guns in their hands behind the soldiers.
"None of them are allowed to move, and whoever moves will be killed."
"Put your hands up!"
The commandos shouted loudly, pointing their submachine guns at the people in the room. One of the commandos also swept a shuttle of bullets at the ceiling. But when these commandos saw clearly who they were targeting, they all froze in place.
"Very good, all subdued, is there any resistance?"
Tenfer heard that there was no movement in the lounge, so he walked in triumphantly. As a result, when he saw the situation in the lounge clearly, he stood still and froze like his commandos.
As the plaster from the ceiling slowly dispersed, there was a room of mid- and high-ranking Army officers in front of these SS officers and soldiers.
Six majors sat around the coffee table in one corner of the lounge, coffee, and four lieutenant colonels played bridge at the card table on the other side. Three colonels sat on the couch in the middle, one of them holding a cute little girl, and a group of captains and lieutenants stood or sat around the couch.
In front of the window of the lounge there was a splendid sofa with his back to the door, and an army colonel and an SS colonel were standing beside the sofa, probably talking to the man sitting on the sofa when the commandos rushed in, and since the sofa was facing away from the door, it was impossible to see the person sitting on it.
How can there be so many high-ranking officers, aren't they low-ranking lieutenants and soldiers? There are a lot of lieutenants here, but where are the soldiers, and what are these colonel-level officers? Looking at the majestic military momentum and cold eyes of those senior officers, it is absolutely impossible for these officers to be fakes.
The commandos couldn't help but take a few steps back under the intimidation of the officers' eyes, and no one dared to act rashly. The commandos lowered their guns, looked at each other for a few moments, and then all looked at their commander.
Tyfer was already covered in a cold sweat. These people are real army officers, and this kind of military temperament is not something that anyone can pretend to be. Oh my God, so many colonel-level officers, and an SS colonel. When he could see the face of an SS colonel, Tenfel's heart almost stopped.
"Lieutenant Colonel Tyfer! What do you want to do! The SS colonel asked coldly.
"What the hell are you bringing so many Storm Commandos here! Do you want to rebel! The SS colonel walked slowly towards Defel, and he glanced at the commandos on the side with a stern gaze, and the commandos he saw lowered their heads involuntarily.
"Dao...... Road...... Colonel Dogen! Tenfell's legs were a little weak, and he looked fearfully at the SS colonel, whose face was full of coldness.
"That's him, Doctor, I know him, and yesterday he was standing next to the captain, and yesterday he was in a second lieutenant's uniform." Major Scartel on the side pointed sharply at Dogen and shouted.
"Bastard! You idiot! This is Colonel Dougan from the Secretariat of the High Command! "Tenfel kicked Scartel in the face.
"I was killed by you, you idiot!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Tyfer! You haven't answered my question yet, and besides, don't you understand even the minimum of politeness when you see the chief now? ”
"Ah...... Colonel, this is all a misunderstanding, this is ...... I thought you were...... Yes! Salute all! ”
At this time, all the commandos understood that they were aiming at real officers in front of them, and their hearts were half cold, although they could justify that they were only carrying out orders, but threatening senior officers with weapons was a fact, and their future seemed to be dark. Listening to Tenfell's order finally sobered up the commandos who were thinking nonsense, and they all hurriedly stood straight and saluted the officers in the room.
"Colonel Dogen, this is a misunderstanding, you have to listen to my explanation!" Tenfer said, wiping his sweat.
"Before you explain it to me, explain it to my chief."
"Long ...... Sir...... Who is it? Tenfell's eyes searched around the room with a frightened look.
"No need to look for it, Colonel Dogan is right, I'm the one who wants to listen to your explanation of this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had been sitting on the couch stood up and turned around and walked towards Tyfell. There was a grim smile on his handsome face, three diamond stars flashed silver on the gold filigree epaulettes, and the knight's cross with silver oak was hung uprightly on the neckline.
"Ahh Deputy...... Your Excellency, Deputy Führer! Reinhardt's deputy Führer ...... "Tyfer's legs were weak, and his body trembled violently involuntarily, and his men hurriedly supported him.
As soon as he said the deputy Führer's words, the submachine gun in the hands of the commando on the side fell to the ground, and the commando who rushed through the door and opened fire passed out on the ground.
