By this time, the British and Germans had calmed down from the frenzy of frontal shooting, and when they found that their attacks could not change the current battlefield situation, the British and Germans invariably stopped the boring game of exchanging bullets and noise.

Although there were occasional lone gunshots or two, it was only the personal act of a soldier with the intention of harassing or venting his anger, and the commanders on both sides were clearly not interested in thinking about it.

The British watched helplessly as the German truck with its nose beaten into a sieve leaning against the gate of the fence in a big steam, that thing had already fulfilled its mission, the Germans should have received the assistance they needed, and it would be useless to put a few hundred holes in it now.

The German soldiers, with their freshly loaded rifles, carefully watched the old church, which was now sunlit in their favor, and from the wall they could clearly see the swaying figures in the church window.

However, there were too many windows on the building. I don't know what the original designer's design concept was, but the Germans guessed that the guy must have built fortresses or something like that before, so they habitually opened so many openings in the wall that could be used as sniper shooting points, so that any slight disturbance would cause a stir of nervousness among the German soldiers.

When not firing, the German soldiers did their best not to expose themselves to too much cover, and five German soldiers had already paid a heavy price for this, and two lucky ones had been souvenired by the British snipers on their steel helmets, and the fact that their heads had been targeted was not a pleasant thing to do.

The questioning continued, and Kaoririch listened to the French priest's chatter of accusations as he handed out cigarettes to the assembled group of non-commissioned officers and officers.

"Mr. Captain, know that I am a proper clergyman, and have never been interested in the things of the world. It is God's duty to save the poor lambs who have lost their faith from Satan, so that the light of God's glory may shine on the earth. But I really didn't expect to be used by those evil guys, and it was really not my intention to be involved in such a horrible thing. ”

Father Seibel bitterly accused the French gangsters of playing with his pure heart.

"I understand, Father."

Kaoririch lit himself a cigarette.

"No one wants to get involved in this kind of thing, and I understand how you're feeling right now. However, as you can see, I don't have much time right now, so please try to say something that I would be interested in and see if I can compensate for that serious mistake you made. ”

"Of course, Mr. Captain, you listen to me go on. Later, that's when I went to Warren. Stan, the one who runs the watch shop, sent me two suitcases the day after I approached him. Originally, I wasn't going to allow them to put that weird thing in the holy church anymore, but, that Harry. Delt, you know, he's the ...... town."

"Butcher guy, I already know that. Please, Father Sebel, stop trying to challenge my patience. ”

Kaoririch frowned and flicked his fingers at the cigarette ash that had fallen on his cuff.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Captain, I just wanted to be a little more detailed."

Father Seibel took off his ridiculously pointed nightcap in horror and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"You'll be interested in what I'm talking about below."

"Then tell me, Mr. Priest, what's wrong with the meat seller?"

"Oh, the one who bought the meat, Harry. Delt, he intimidated me and blackmailed me with my merciful cover-up of their crime of concealing arms. He said that if I didn't continue to help them, I would find someone to report it...... You know, Mr. Captain, I was so frightened that I had to agree that they would continue to hide the contraband in the church.

This time they asked for a room to put the two boxes, and I did. But then I found out that they were going into that room as soon as they came to the church, and I kept an eye on it, and snuck into that room to look at it while they weren't looking. Mr. Captain, do you know what I found? ”

Sebel looked at Kaoririch with a flattering smile, his eyes full of anticipation waiting for the other to ask him.

"This ...... Idiots who don't know whether to live or die. ”

Kaoririch suddenly felt the urge to pull out his gun, he took a deep breath, tried to suppress the irrepressible disgust, gritted his teeth and smiled.

"What's that?"

"Those guys had a radio station hidden in that room, and it was in a suitcase."

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

The news intrigued Kaoririch, who is now a rarity.

However, considering that those Frenchmen could even get such a large amount of arms, it was not difficult to add another radio station.

"Although I am only a priest in a country church, I had the honor of being summoned by the Holy See to the Vatican to meet the Cardinal two years ago. I had seen what the radio looked like at the Vatican, so I immediately recognized that the strange thing was a radio station. ”

Speaking of his glorious history, Sebel couldn't help but straighten his stomach.

"Go on."

Kaoririch stared at the smug priest with a calm face, and he felt that the noble and holy image of the clergy was rapidly crumbling before his eyes.

"Mr. Captain, you know that when I saw that radio station, I was terrified, and it was clear that those fellows were no ordinary French civilians. They used to sneak into the church at night, then get into that room and leave the next morning, plus they had so many munitions...... You know, what that means. ”

The priest looked at the German captain again with flattery, but when he saw that the other man's face began to turn blue, the wise priest hurriedly smiled and continued his explanation.

"I judge that they must be spies of some country lurking in France, and they use the radio to contact their leaders, and they must have hatched some shameless conspiracy against the powerful German ** team. Mr. Captain, I was going mad when I came to this judgment, and I would never allow such a criminal act, such a conspiracy and sabotage to take place in the Holy Church. So I decided to denounce the crimes of these criminals to the powerful and noble German ** team. ”

Saibey said loudly with foam on his lips, and the righteous and solemn expression made him feel like the president of the Inquisition who was about to light a pyre.

"Then why didn't you report this in time, listen to what you said earlier, these crimes have been going on for at least a few weeks."

"You must forgive my cowardice, Mr. Captain, I am only a priest of a humble country church, and I am cowardly, afraid of retribution from these criminals. You know, I've seen these people for what they are, and these people can do anything. ”

"Then aren't you afraid of the retaliation of our German ** team?"

Kaoririch asked coldly.

"Of course not, I'm still in awe of the German ** team, Mr. Captain......"

The priest wiped his glittering forehead with his crumpled nightcap.

"Mr. Captain, I have been to Germany before, I know a lot of German friends, and to be honest, I like Germany very much. But I was too cowardly, and when I made up my mind to denounce them, I found that everything was irreparable. I was going to go to town this morning to report this, but, as you can see, I didn't have time to expose the crime. ”

The priest's face was helpless and innocent, and his eyes flashed with remorse.

"I woke up last night to the sound of gunfire and I knew there must have been a terrible fight. In the middle of the night, while I was praying to God in the prayer room, the Englishmen arrived, and they savagely stormed this sacred place, and shut me up in my room, they were a bunch of wild beasts. ”

The priest swallowed and continued.

"There were about fifty of the savage Englishmen, many of whom looked wounded, and I saw a lot of blood on the ground. They were all armed and I couldn't stop them at all. It was those goddamn spies who brought them here, because I saw Warren. Stan, God punished this sinner, he was badly wounded, the wound was in the chest, and in my experience he should be dead by now, may the hellfire of Satan burn his sinful soul.

And Vodijk. Valen, he seems to be fine, he has been shouting for revenge for his companions. I didn't see the other two, but I could deduce from Valen's words that those two might have been sent to where they were to go by the powerful German team. ”

"You mean, the Englishmen were brought here by those Frenchmen."

Kaoririch raised an eyebrow, then pulled the jug from his waist and handed it to the priest.

"Drink a sip and say, Mr. Priest, I think you must be very thirsty."

"Ah, thank you, God bless you, Mr. Captain, I haven't had a sip of water since last night."

Flattered, Father Seibel took the kettle and gulped greedily.

"Well, I feel like I've been born again, thank you again, merciful Mr. Captain."

Sebel handed the almost dry jug back to Kaoririch, who casually threw it to Hafggan behind him.

"Well, go on, Mr. Priest, what happened after that, and how did you get out of it?"

"Well, at first the English asked me for water and food, and I wanted to make an excuse to refuse them, but that vile Warren was very familiar with this church, and he led the English to storm the pantry and snatch all the food and good wine that I had collected and stored with all my heart.

You must know that those are all good things that you can't find on the market now, and if you don't have a way, you don't want to get them, and I originally wanted to rely on these things to help those impoverished believers at a critical moment, but now I have been eaten by those savage British robbers. ”

The priest scolded indignantly.

"This guy seems to be hiding a lot of good things, but he said he was going to use them to help the poor, see what the hell he is!"

Kaoririch grinded his back molars as he looked at the priest's shiny forehead and rosy, smooth skin.

"When they noticed my uncooperation, the Englishmen locked me in their room. I escaped while they were not looking, and I hid in a flower bed in the cemetery until the morning when they had exchanged fire with the chief's troops. I immediately found the chief and reported to him everything I knew, and the officer could testify for me. ”

"That's right, he's right, but ......"

Fred glared at Seibel coldly.

"You didn't tell me about the French and the radio, and I now feel that you must be hiding something, you must know that it is a very serious crime to deceive German ** officers on the battlefield."

"That's because your rank is not high enough, and the French slipper in front of you knows how to use the resources at his disposal."

Kaoririch glanced at Fred, who didn't think it was a good idea to tell the sergeant the truth.

"Ah, no, how dare I hide anything, I wasn't just about to report more important information to this captain. Mr. Captain, I destroyed the radio station before I ran out, and now those people can't use that thing to communicate with the outside world, you see......"

Seibel hurriedly lifted the hem of the long pajamas, revealing two small thin legs with lush leg hair.

"What do you want to do?"

Sgt. Fred was startled by the priest's strange behavior, and reflexively put his hand on the leather buckle of the holster at his waist.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I want to show this to Mr. Captain......"

Seibel shook one hand desperately in front of him, and with the other, he hurriedly pulled out a few metal parts from his fat shorts pocket.

"This ...... It seems to be an adjustment wrench, this is a switch, this one seems to be a knob...... Father, you took these things off the radio? ”

Kaoririch frowned at the metal parts in his hand.

"Yes, I slipped into that room before I left, I was going to take the radio station with me, but you see, I can't do it, the radio is too heavy for me.

But I had to get something to prove that I was telling the truth, so I removed all the parts I could remove from the station, there were a few of them, but they were all lost when I ran away, and now that's all I can see, and I think you can tell at a glance that these are all parts from the station. ”

Seibel looked at Kaoririch expectantly.

"Yes, these are all on the cāo panel of the radio station, although it doesn't have much impact on the operation of the radio station, but I think he will definitely mess up the original set frequency when he dismantles it. Sir, without these knobs it would be difficult to adjust to the original set frequency, and the station would be unusable for the time being. ”

Hansen said as he took the parts and examined them carefully.

"Then I'll rest assured, Mr. Captain, this should help you, and can you make up for the mistakes I made."

"Well, yes, but I'm curious now about how you managed to do this under the tight guard of the British."

Kaoririch now felt that this French priest was really not to be underestimated.

"This is the secret I'm going to tell you below, you will definitely be interested in it, this church is three hundred and twenty years old, it not only has elegant shapes, practical structures, beautiful decorations, but also has a very secret secret system, you can reach any corner of this church from the secret passage unhindered.

And it has two escape routes, and I escaped from one of them, and the exit is in the cemetery. Another passage leads to a natural cave at the bottom of the cliff where the church is located, from where you can escape by boat to the sea......"

"What!"

Kaoririch asked aloud with wide eyes.

"Why are you only saying such important information now! Tell me where that secret passage is, where the exit to that cave is. ”

"That secret passage is under the crypt of the church, and the exit of the cave is just below the cliff, if you can see it at a glance from the sea."

"I see, what else have you not told me, Mr. Priest, you know I'm getting impatient with your nonsense right now......"

"That's all, I tell you all the most important secrets I know, you can trust me......"

Seeing Kaoririch's serious expression, Sebel knew that the problem was serious, and he replied respectfully with a bitter face.

"Very well, Mr. Priest, you go to rest by the wall over there, and I need your help later."

Kaoririch winked, and Hafogen stepped forward and dragged the priest away.

"This damn wordy Frenchman, such an important situation was not even said until the end......"

Fred also sensed the seriousness of the problem, and he spat the ground.

"But we finally get a general idea of the whole thing from his nonsense, what do you think, sir."

Ensign Hansen stepped forward and asked.

"This matter should not be as simple as what we see now, there is no doubt that this is a spy station, but how can those British ** teams be here. They obviously already knew that they had no way to escape, why did they still run here, and weren't they afraid of exposing this important stronghold? ”

Kaoririch looked at the church in hesitation.

"Now no matter what, we must attack immediately, you have all heard, there is also an escape passage to the sea, I dare not guarantee that the British do not know the existence of this secret passage, and there must be a lot of water in this priest's words, but now we do not have the time and energy to confirm it, so we have to believe for the time being that what he said is true.

Fred, you go and gather your soldiers and order them to prepare for the assault. Hansen, how many British snipers did you find? ”

"There were five of them, one of them at the window on the second floor of that tower, and the other four were on the second floor of the church and in the attic."

"Very well, when the soldiers are ready, we will do it, listen to my orders, let the soldiers move as little as possible, do not alarm the British on the opposite side, all right, gentlemen, let's act."

"Yes, sir!"

The officers and non-commissioned officers stiffened their chests and then scattered quickly.

"Report to the sir, the soldiers are ready and waiting for your orders." Fred reports.

"Good, we don't have much time now, the British seem to have some plans."

Kaoririch crouched there with a bayonet in hand, frowning at a floor plan carved into the dirt.

"I noticed that the windows on the second floor had not moved for a long time, and when I looked through the windows in the cloister on the first floor, it seemed that there were many figures shaking inside. I'm not sure, I feel like they're concentrating people. ”

Nimitz, crouching to his knees with a Mauser rifle, pointed to an open area on the floor plan.

"Are your sketches accurate? Mr. Divine. ”

Hansen turned his face to look at Father Seibel crouching to the side.

"Absolutely, this is on the ground floor and this is on the second floor cloister. This is the cloister on the first floor, of which the lieutenant spoke, and this church is very exquisite, with an empty chapel at the entrance, and an altar on which is placed the Holy Cross, which is made of pure silver, and which is inlaid with gold and precious stones, and which is as old as this church. Praise God, from the time this church was built until now, it has experienced fires, earthquakes, wars and even thieves, but the Holy Cross has never suffered any damage, which cannot but make me praise the greatness of God's power. ”

"You've been babbling here six times about that cross, have you secretly weighed it with a scale?"

"It's three thousand seven hundred and forty grams, and it doesn't have a base...... Belch...... This, this is what the priests of the previous generation told me, how could I do such a blasphemous thing. ”

Father Seibel began to make a cross on his chest.

"Looks like he's really weighed ......"

Kaoririch couldn't help but press his swollen temples, and several officers kneeling beside him also quietly made a cross on their chests.
