"Wait a minute! Marshal Brauchitsch. ”

Xu Jun suddenly discovered a problem in the marshal's report.

"You were talking about the 1st and 2nd motorized rifle battalions?"

"yes."

"But I was only attacked by the 1st SS Motorized Rifle Battalion. Are you sure there are two battalions? ”

"I'm sure, Reinhardt, if you're attacked by only one battalion, then things are complicated." Brauchitsch was very experienced, and he immediately understood the crux of the matter.

"Our opponent now has a battalion whose whereabouts are unknown, and I have only three companies and half a small armored reconnaissance company left. If that battalion suddenly appears when I attack the other side......" Xu Jun said with a frown.

"Then the enemy will far outnumber you, and the operation will most likely fail." Brauchitsch's voice was full of worry.

"Now I'll immediately send another plane to your area to reconnoitre, and find that lost battalion no matter what." Brauchitsch said.

"It may be too late now, only one step at a time, the other side has no heavy weapons, I still have the strength to fight them." Xu Jun knew that if this operation was aborted like this, then the best chance to deal with Hitler would be lost, and Hitler might rise again. Xu Jun subconsciously told himself that if he couldn't kill Hitler this time, then he might never have a chance to kill him, and he made up his mind to gamble once.

"Marshal Brauchitsch, I will leave immediately, please order the plane to take off immediately, I need air support."

"Got it, Your Excellency. I remembered that we also had a light reconnaissance aircraft in the 30th Panzer Regiment in Arras, and I could order them to go out right away, hoping that we would succeed this time. All for Germany. ”

"For Germany." Xu Jun put down the map.

"Marshal, we are ready, please give the order." Hans said as he leaned into his upper body from outside the car.

"Okay, let's go. Hans, you and I will sit in this car. The other officers were with the troops in front of them, maintaining radio communication. ”

"Yes, Marshal."

With the roar of the engine, the convoy began to move forward again, but this time Xu Jun remembered the lesson. He placed three 251 half-track armored personnel carriers on each side of the convoy to search for the formation to advance. However, because of this, the speed of the convoy has been greatly slowed down, from the previous 50 kilometers per hour to the current 30 kilometers per hour crawl.

"Unicorn 2 calls Knight, Unicorn 2 calls Knight. I have reached the skies above you. Please answer if you hear it. ”

Funk gently pushed the Cāo longitudinal bar, and the FI156 tilted its fuselage and made a light arc in the air.

"Unicorn 2 calls Knight, Unicorn 2 calls Knight. I'm above you, asking for further instructions, hear please answer. Funk turned his head to look at the mighty motorcade under the window, billowing smoke and dust from the French country roads.

"Why don't they answer, Sergeant?" Leinster, the machine-gun shooter in the aft compartment, asked curiously.

"How do I know. Let's turn around again and they should have seen us. ”

"Unicorn 2, this is the knight, hear me clearly, we have seen you."

Finally, the pilot's expected answer came out of the headset.

"Knight, I need further instructions from you, and the command orders me to accept your command."

Funk Cāo continued to circle the convoy with the "White Stork", and he was still wondering about the urgent order from the army headquarters. The order did not give anything to him, except that he should be here and join with this force to take command of this force, but there was no mention of the situation of this force and what tasks it was going to perform. Funk really couldn't think of any other mission that required reconnaissance planes to be dispatched in the rear of his defensive line, but orders were orders, and the only correct way to deal with them was to carry them out without hesitation.

"Unicorn 2, this is the knight. Now I order you to conduct a careful search of the area within twenty kilometers to the east of the convoy, and whatever you find must immediately report to me, keep in touch. "The voice in the headphones reveals an unmistakable sense of coercion.

"Understood, knight." Funk replied solemnly, and from the tone of the other party's voice, he could tell that the task might be important. Funk didn't dare to slack off, and he pushed the nose of the plane to increase his speed and flew towards the east of the convoy.

Xu Jun took off the headset and handed it to the communication soldier on the side, now there was nothing else to do except wait patiently, he leaned on the wall of the shaking carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Sir! Communications from reconnaissance aircraft. Hearing the urgent call of the communication soldier, Xu Jun opened his eyes violently.

"What's the situation!" Xu Jun raised his hand to wipe his face, and then took the headset from the communication soldier.

"He found out that there was a battle going on in front of us." The signal soldier's face was full of confusion.

"What! Fight? ”

Xu Jun hurriedly put on the headphones, and then heard the anxious call of the pilot.

"Knight! Knight! This is Unicorn 2, there is a battle going on here, and again, there is a battle going on here. ”

"Unicorn 2, this is the knight. You report in a little more detail. Who's fighting whom? Location. Xu Jun asked loudly.

"My current position is fourteen kilometers in front of you, the smoke is too big, I can't see clearly, I'm going to fly a little lower to see, the battle below is fierce." I don't know if it was because of fear or excitement, the pilot's voice sounded a little shaky.

"Stay safe."

"Understood! I went down...... Hell, it can't be! The pilot's exclamation could be heard through the headphones.

"Report what you see!" Xu Jun anxiously shouted into the microphone. Seeing Xu Jun's anxious expression, Hans and the communication soldier sitting next to him became nervous. They didn't know what was going on, but from Xu Jun's anxious expression, they could see that what the reconnaissance plane had reported must be important, and they couldn't help but hold their breath and look nervously at their commander.

"It's our army, both sides are our own army, oh my God, they're killing each other. Oh, God. Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on here! The pilot shouted in panic.

"They're shooting at us...... They are shooting at us. Hell, get us out of this place! Suddenly, another panicked voice came from the headphones, sounding like another crew member of a reconnaissance plane.

"Both sides are shooting at us! Hell, didn't they recognize our signs? The pilot roared angrily.

"Unicorn 2, get out of there. Unicorn 2, come back quickly! Xu Jun knew that the reconnaissance plane had fallen into danger, and the "White Stork" was not a fighter plane, and her thin body could not withstand any ground fire at all.

"Understood, I'm climbing, as long as ...... No, we were shot, we were shot. I was shot in the tail and I lost control. The pilot shouted in panic.

"Unicorn 2, Unicorn 2, pull up! Hold on! Xu Jun called loudly.

"God. I can't hold her, we're going to fall...... No, ......" With a piercing sound of static electricity, the pilot's roar in the headset stopped abruptly, and his last wail full of despair kept echoing in Xu Jun's mind.

"We've lost Unicorn 2."

Xu Jun took off his headphones, turned around and said lightly to Hans. Hans sensed the anger of the commander trying to suppress from Xu Jun's seemingly calm expression, and he wisely gave up asking the question and only nodded slightly.

"Order the troops to speed up their advance. I've got to figure out what's going on up there! Get the troops ready for battle! ”

"Yes, Marshal."

Xu Jun pushed away the anti-hand grenade of the turret above his head and leaned out of the turret through the net. "Two German teams are fighting there? Which two troops will it be? Xu Jun pulled down his goggles from the brim of his hat, letting the dust from the vehicle in front of him cover his crisp military uniform and handsome face, his mind was constantly thinking about the problem, he wanted to sort out the confusion of information he had obtained so far. According to current intelligence, there was only Hitler's convoy in that position, and it was most likely him in one of the two warring troops. But who is the other one? Why did they attack Hitler's convoy? Xu Jun was completely confused.

"Sir, there's a report from the reconnaissance armored vehicle." Hans shouted in the car.

"Pick up my headphones." Xu Jun brought an inter-car communication headset and a throat microphone.

"I'm Reinhardt, report what you've discovered."

"Sir! I'm Rexter, and I noticed black smoke about five kilometers ahead of us, as well as explosions and gunfire. Lexter reported eagerly.

"I can't see it here, it's blocking the dust in front of me." Xu Jun tried to lean up, but still couldn't see any black smoke.

"Sir, the situation ahead is unknown, whether we want to stop moving forward and send two vehicles to reconnoiter first." After the last ambush, Lexter began to become cautious.

"Yes...... But the troops still have to continue to advance, don't stop first, we have to rush straight over. Xu Jun suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a possibility, a possibility that would be regarded as a joke by him before.

"Don't stop, keep going. If the other side resists, we will resolutely destroy it, and all that stands in our way is the enemy. Do you understand? Xu Jun coldly ordered.

"Yes, marshal. All the vehicle groups heard it, formed an attack formation, approached two thousand meters and began to attack, and those who stood in our way were the enemy, and whoever shot at us was eliminated. Lexter shouted orders to his reconnaissance company.

"You also hear me, now prepare the soldiers for battle, and the infantry will follow after the armored vehicles attack. Always ready to get out of the car and fight. Xu Jun shouted into the microphone.

"Yes, Marshal."

"Hear me, Marshal."

The commanders of the various companies answered loudly on the radio.

Xu Jun heard the infantry in the truck in front of him shouting orders to each other, and they began to check their weapons and equipment. A minute later, Xu Jun finally saw the black smoke that Rexter had spoken of, and heard the fierce gunfire and explosions faintly coming from a distance through the roar of armored vehicles.

"We've been in contact with each other, and they've set up blocking fire points." With the sudden sound of machine guns in the avant-garde armored car, Lexter reported to Xu Jun excitedly.

"To destroy those firing points, you must find out the number of the opposing troops. Don't assault yet, cover the infantry to get out of the car. Xu Jun replied, and he then issued an order: "The convoy stops advancing, the team disperses, and all the companies immediately get out of the car and prepare for the assault." ”

He then turned the communicator switch to the in-car communication. "Driver, drive the car to the side of the field. I'm getting out of the car. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." The armored reconnaissance vehicle rushed down the road and stopped in a field on the side.

Xu Jun and Hans walked towards the front of the convoy with a communications soldier carrying a radio on their backs.

"How's it going? Lexter! Xu Jun shouted with the microphone, and he heard that the machine gun in front of him had stopped.

"Two firing points have been destroyed, and I have already sent two armored vehicles to confirm the number of the other party."

"Very well, all the commanders will immediately assemble in the front team now, and we need to determine the battle plan first." Xu Jun then ordered. "Concentrate all the troops in the front, our enemy is right ahead."

"It's all clear now." Xu Jun threw the identity card in his hand to Randolph on the side.

"The 2nd SS Motorized Rifle Battalion, Adolf. Hitler's Elite Banner Division. Hans said with a look of disbelief on his face.

"This is the second missing unit, I don't know who they attacked yet, but I think it's very likely that person." Xu Jun said coldly.

"How is this possible, they are his direct troops." Dogen felt that Xu Jun's reasoning was too ridiculous, and he didn't believe that the Führer's elite guards would attack their leader anyway, and it was easier to make him believe that the sun was square.

"It's just a corollary, but I don't think it's wrong, we'll find out later. I also don't believe that they will fire at their leader, but if someone does something in the middle, then it's hard to say. Xu Jun vaguely felt that he had grasped the key to this matter, and if the truth was really as he guessed, then this whole thing was completely a clumsy and crazy conspiracy.

"It's impossible for us to talk about it now, we have a battle to fight." Xu Jun took the map from Hans's hand.

"Now the other side has become a mess. We knocked out their outposts, but they didn't react at all, I think it was because they were already in a bitter battle and couldn't help us to deal with us, or they all took us for reinforcements. Listen to the intense gunfire right now, they're still shooting at each other. I suspect that they have lost their unified command. Xu Jun paused, looked at the officers around him, and he got an affirmative answer from their faces.

"The next battle was easy, we split into three assaults. Dougan and Randolph led a company to outflank from the left flank, Hans and I led a company to break through the middle, and Captain Ranson to outflank the rest from the right flank. It's all about speed, and we want to catch both of them off guard. Still have questions? ”

"No, sir." The officers replied in unison.

"If you encounter any problems, you can adapt to them, and you can also call in mortar support to keep communications open."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's get started." Xu Jun got into one of the armored vehicles next to him, and he leaned out of the turret and shouted to the group of officers: "Remember, everything we do is for Germany!" ”

"For Germany!" The officers gave Xu Jun a military salute and ran towards their respective troops.

"Cyporus! Assault! ”

With a shout, the troops divided into three battle groups, and under the cover of their respective armored vehicles, rushed towards the battlefield not far away.

Xu Jun did guess correctly, and both sides thought that this new army was reinforcements. The 2nd Motorized Rifle Battalion took them for the 1st, while Hitler's Guards took them for the reinforcements that the Führer had previously mentioned. But just as the two sides were expecting a final victory with the support of reinforcements, the army launched an attack on both sides.

The first to react was the 2nd SS Motorized Rifle Regiment, whose commander finally remembered at the last minute that the 1st Battalion was not equipped with armored vehicles, but just as he was about to issue a defensive order, the enemy was already rushing towards his soldiers in a sea of waves.

The 2nd Motorized Infantry Battalion had already suffered heavy losses in the previous phase of the battle, mainly because of the same trouble with their heavy weapons as the 1st Battalion, while the unit they attacked was equipped with two guns, which, although of small caliber, still inflicted considerable casualties on them. They did not have the kind of fortified positions that the first battalion had, except for a few makeshift and rudimentary trenches and foxholes.

When it was discovered that the opponent had heavy weapons and his own heavy weapons could not fire, the battalion commander gave the order to charge. This order seemed completely correct at the time, because only by closing the distance could the threat of the opponent's artillery reduce the threat to him, and the commander was still confident in the melee combat ability of his soldiers.

However, what he didn't expect was that the attacked unit actually had a considerable number of automatic weapons, and as a result, when his infantry approached the opponent's defensive circle, they were hit by the horror of automatic weapons. Although the SS men broke through the first line of defense with firm conviction, they also caused almost two platoons of their own soldiers to fall on the road. And when he was about to use the two captured guns, he found that the other side had taken the bolts with them when they abandoned them.

The other side set up a second line of defense in the fields along the road, while their own soldiers were exposed to the range of the automatic weapons. At the urging of the commander, the Waffen-SS launched a frantic charge, and after losing almost an entire company of troops, they finally broke through the enemy's line and divided the opponent into several parts. Some of the enemy troops retreated into a grove beside the road, and the rest were scattered in some natural ravines in the fields, and they continued to resist stubbornly by relying on these natural fortifications, inflicting casualties on the Waffen-SS.

As a result, the battle turned out to be a stalemate, and because the Waffen-SS had suffered too many losses in the previous stage, they now found that they did not have enough strength to eat each other at once. And the other side is the same, under the frantic attack of the second motorized battalion, the losses are even heavier, and what is even more terrible is that the second battalion does not even want to be taken prisoner, leaving not a single living in their hands.

The commander of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Battalion knew that the opposing command should be in the grove, because his men reported that there was a large crowd of officers in that part of the enemy as they fled into the woods. He considered whether he should mobilize all his forces to attack the woods, but he was also worried about crossfire from the remnants of the enemy from other directions.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the current thorny problem, Xu Jun's troops arrived. Now the battalion commander didn't have to worry about how to attack, and an armored commander who had been eyeing him for a long time rescued him from his confusion with a volley of bursting 20-mm shells, and sent him straight to heaven along with several of his men standing beside him.

"I'm Dougan and it's going well here, I'm starting to squeeze inward."

"This is Ranson, I've surrounded the back of the woods, quite a few people have escaped from the woods and surrendered, we're gathering them."

"Very good, pay attention to the search, you can't let one person run away." Xu Jun shouted into the microphone with satisfaction.

The ensuing battle was a complete battle of annihilation, the Waffen-SS side had already been exhausted, and their original fanatical fighting enthusiasm was quickly extinguished under the relentless strafing of armored vehicles and the double attack of fierce army soldiers, and the whole team of Waffen-SS soldiers raised their hands and surrendered to the murderous army soldiers.

The Führer's Guard, on the other hand, was even more unbearable, when they found out that they were facing an army unit, they immediately laid down their weapons, in fact, when those armored vehicles charged at them, they had lost the courage to continue to resist, unlike the 2nd SS Motorized Rifle Battalion, they guessed the identity of this unit, they knew who they were facing, in fact, they had been waiting for this moment since they left that French town, but they did not expect it to be in this situation. They knew it was a fool's errand to fight Cyprus, not to mention that they didn't even have the strength to fight hard now.

The battle was soon over, and the captives were divided into two teams according to their belongings, and both sides had lost the sense of death and death that they had before, and they looked at the submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers guarding them with trepidation, and although their sense of honor supported them to continue to hold their chests, and none of them hung their heads, it still could not hide the fear of the victor that flowed from their eyes.

"Did you find that person?" Xu Jun turned around and asked Hans in a low voice.

"Not yet, a few soldiers said they saw Hitler flee into the woods with his adjutants, but no one saw him come out. Captain Ranson is continuing the search with his soldiers. ”

"Sir, Your Excellency, Captain Ranson is on your phone." The communications officer reported from the sidelines.

"Okay, give me the microphone." Xu Jun hurriedly took the microphone handed over by the communication soldier.

"Captain Ranson, did you find him?" Xu Jun asked nervously.

"Yes, sir. I found him. Ranson's voice was a little dull.

"What the hell is going on? Is he dead? ”

"Not yet, but ...... Sir, he wants to see you, sir, and I suggest you come and see for yourself. ”

"Okay, you're in where you are." Hearing Ranson's report that he had found Hitler, Xu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had long been mentally prepared to meet Hitler, he had to come, since he had won this battle, so what was the harm in seeing him.

"Go to the edge of the woods, and I'll send a soldier to lead you now."

Xu Jun put down the microphone and turned his head to Hans and said, "Hans, you come with me and bring some soldiers." ”

Although it seems that he has won the final victory now, he does not dare to take it lightly, there are countless heroes who died at the moment of victory in history, and he does not want to be one of them.

"Yes, sir." Hans waved his hand at the group of soldiers guarding him, and led the group of soldiers to follow Xu Jun towards the grove.

A soldier was already waiting for Xu Jun at the edge of the woods, and after he saluted excitedly, he led Xu Jun and them into the woods. The trees are not large, mostly maple trees, and they do not grow densely, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the green leaves on the soil in the forest, showing beautiful spots of light. After walking a short distance, Xu Jun saw Lan Sen and them, who were looking down at something in a circle without saying a word.

"Captain Ranson." Xu Jun shouted loudly.

Hearing Xu Jun's shout, the soldiers all raised their heads, and when they saw Xu Jun walking quickly, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Marshal, you're finally here, quick, he wants to see you for the last time, I think he can't hold on anymore." Ranson ran up to Xu Jun, took Xu Jun's hand, and ran towards where they were standing in front of them.

"Captain Ranson, what do you want to do!" Hans hurriedly shouted from behind, but Ranson continued to pull Xu Jun as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Stop him and keep the marshal safe." Hans gave the order to the soldiers behind him, who hurriedly picked up their weapons and chased after Ranson.

Lan Sen pulled Xu Jun to the place in front of them and stopped, and when he entered Xu Jun's eyes, there was a huge tree pit, and at the bottom of the pit was lying on the wall of the pit a person. Xu Jun had imagined in his mind what it would be like to meet this person for the last time, but now he had never imagined that it was the dying Adolf who appeared in front of him. Hitler.

He was still wearing his tawny uniform and black pants. The once spotless uniform was now covered in dirt and grassroots, and blood had stained a large area of the uniform's chest and was still flowing down. His beautiful red wall military hat was tossed on the wet mud to one side, and the usual meticulous hairstyle was a mess, wet and clinging to his forehead, and sweat was rolling down the ends of his ears.

Hitler's face was now a dead gray, a horrible complexion that was so white that it was caused by excessive blood loss, but no amount of horror could compare to the look in his eyes, a cold, vicious and vicious look. The only thing Hitler could maintain his strength now was his eyes, but Xu Jun saw something else in his eyes, despair, loneliness, remorse and attachment in addition to anger and hatred. "Do you feel like you're not being rewarded?"

Xu Jun sighed secretly and jumped off the tree pit. He found that Hitler still had a steel helmet clutched tightly in one hand, and a Mauser 98K rifle not far from the other.

"You've fought, haven't you?"

Xu Jun knelt on one leg and squatted beside Hitler.

"It's a pity that you failed, you were doomed, but no matter what, you kept your dignity."

"Führer, do you want to say something to me?" Xu Jun whispered to Hitler.

Hitler never left Xu Jun as soon as his eyes appeared, and after hearing Xu Jun's words, his eyes lit up violently, and Xu Jun could see that it was a fire, a fire of anger.

"It seems that you can't speak anymore, I know you hate me, I know you hate me for betraying you. But what I want to tell you is that everything I do is for Germany, and I do not want to see Germany destroyed at your hands. Now that you have failed, I have won, and in your words, you have been eliminated. I remember you once said that those who have been eliminated are inferior and should not live in the world, and now you can still hold your opinion? ”

Hitler's eyes twitched, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"I've been thinking about how to meet you this face, but I didn't expect it to be the outcome. This time we both fell into the same person's trap, I escaped, you didn't. But I can assure you that I will make that person pay the price he deserves. Even if it's revenge for you. You know who that person is. Only he can mobilize your guards in your name. ”

Hitler stared at Xu Jun with a look of great remorse in his eyes, and it seemed that he also thought of who was behind this matter. He began to get excited, his breathing became more and more rapid, a flush suddenly appeared on his originally dead gray face, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he threw away the steel helmet and grabbed Xu Jun's neckline.

"I failed, so I should die. You've won, and that proves you're better than me! ”

Hitler screamed hoarsely, blood gushing out of his mouth and onto his chest.

"My point of view is correct, you have proved with facts that you are nobler than me. Germany is in your hands, and I am relieved. But you have to remember that I'm right, my thoughts, my opinions, my ideas are all absolutely right. I have proved this thinking right with my own life. Do you understand? ”

Hitler shoved Xu Jun away, and he looked up at the canopy above his head, the sun shining through the canopy on his blood-covered face.

"That damned Jew......" Hitler muttered to himself, and then the Führer of the Third Reich let out a long exhale, slowly drooped his head, and died.

A breeze blew a charred Nazi flag from the edge of the pit to the bottom of the pit, and the broken flag covered the chest of Hitler's corpse, and soon the black swastika was soaked in the blood of his designer, and Xu Jun suddenly felt that the twisted flag really looked like a burning flame, a flame that could burn everything, including itself.
