Chapter 11: The Storm Comes
"All of the Seventy-Seven Storms assemble in the lobby! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
With Shaktel's order, a commando roar rang out in the corridors of the Silesian Hotel, and the storm commandos guarding the various floors and exits rushed down the stairs quickly, and then gathered in the lobby to form a phalanx. All the commandos stood there in high spirits, waiting for their commander to give a new order.
But Shaktel waited until all the team members had assembled, but did not give the following order, and he stood there without saying a word, staring at the staircase without moving, as if waiting for someone to arrive. All the team members also waited with bated breath with the commander, they all guessed in their hearts who the commander was waiting for, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation, and now the entire hall was so quiet that they could even hear a needle dropping.
With the sound of neat footsteps, six commandos appeared at the top of the staircase, they were standing at the top of the staircase in a standard assault formation, holding submachine guns. Immediately after that, Xu Jun and his officers appeared in front of those commandos. The spirits of those commandos were lifted, after all, seeing the legendary deputy head so closely was something that their soldiers could never have dreamed of. They were already full of gratitude to the Deputy Führer for not only forgiving them for their offense but also transferring them to his immediate forces, but now that the Deputy Führer himself came to inspect them, the commandos were about to explode with excitement.
If it weren't for the fact that they had strict discipline in front of the deputy Führer, the soldiers would have jumped up and cheered, and now one by one they resisted their excitement and stood there with serious expressions, trying to appear as majestic as possible. But from their slightly trembling bodies and eyes, the kind of fanaticism that could not be concealed had already exposed their mood in Xu Jun's eyes. Xu Jun nodded slightly at the commandos, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He walked to the front of the line, stood still, and gave the soldiers a dashing military salute. With a "snap" sound of neat boot heel collision, all the soldiers returned a powerful military salute.
In 1940, there was no raising of hands in the Waffen-SS, and the soldiers were trained strictly according to the Army soldiers, who at all times held themselves to the standard of the Army. The Waffen-SS at this time was not as uneven in quality as their juniors, and they were selected according to very strict criteria. In terms of the severity of training, they even surpass some ordinary army units, and their weapons are also better than ordinary army units, so in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are absolutely superior to those ordinary army infantry units, and they are directly catching up with the elite units of those armies.
Their loyalty to Germany and their fanaticism for the Nazi system made them more tenacious and ferocious on the battlefield than any other army, but it is a little pity that this force never had enough qualified officers from the moment of his birth. Their commanders were either fanatical Nazi batons or old-fashioned officers who had been eliminated by the Army.
Under the leadership of these unqualified commanders, these SS units almost never used any tactics, they only knew how to fight the enemy to the death with indomitable determination, and although the results seemed to be more than those of other army units, and the bones that many army units found difficult to gnaw, their casualties were as staggering as their results.
Moreover, under the brainwashing of those fanatical Nazi party sticks, their ferocity was also beyond everyone's imagination, and many army generals protested on the French front, because the two Waffen-SS divisions never thought of taking prisoners, and the enemy troops who fought with them were always completely wiped out, not a single one was left alive, and even their massacre of prisoners of war occurred. This incident also made Hitler feel shameless, and with his intervention, the Waffen-SS was slightly restrained. The generals finally received the prisoners from the Waffen-SS, and they finally accepted the presence of these troops.
In the history known to Xu Jun, after the Waffen-SS campaign against the Soviet Union began, the casualties rose even more sharply, and in order to replenish their soldiers, some second-rate and third-rate local SS units and even Jingcha troops were also incorporated into the Waffen-SS. As a result, it can be imagined that the elite is fighting less and less, and the reputation is getting worse and worse due to the addition of those miscellaneous troops.
Now Xu Jun looked at these energetic commandos standing in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. It seems that in addition to preventing the German Army from degenerating, he has to find a way to save this army from degenerating, and the burden on his shoulders has increased.
Xu Jun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said loudly to the commandos in front of him, "Can any of you tell me what your team is called." ”
Listening to Xu Jun's question, the soldiers froze, and they looked at each other with a smile, and no one understood why the deputy head of state asked this question
"Waffen-SS Seventy-seventh Stormtroop of the Third Reich." Finally, a brave soldier stepped out of the line and answered.
"What do you say? I can't hear clearly. Haven't you eaten enough? Xu Jun frowned and looked at the soldier with contempt.
The soldier hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Report to the Deputy Führer, we are the 77th Storm Commando of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. ”
"Hmph, how can there be such a weak soldier in my team."
Xu Jun snorted coldly, turned his head to Mueller and said.
The soldier's face turned red to the base of his neck when he heard Xu Jun's words, and he used all his strength to shout desperately: "Report to Your Excellency the Deputy Führer." We are the 77th Storm Commando of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. ”
"That's right! That's it, it's like my soldiers of Reinhardt, this is the soldiers of the regiment of "Cyprus", very good. Ranked, soldiers. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The soldier replied loudly, then took a step back and returned to the queue.
"Can you tell me now, what is the name of your team?"
"Report to Your Excellency the Deputy Führer, we are the 77th Storm Commando of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich."
All the commandos roared with all their strength, and the loud sound shook the glass of the hotel door, and the commandos felt their blood begin to boil with the roar.
"Good, very good." Xu Jun nodded approvingly.
"Do you know what the Waffen-SS means?"
"We are the guardians of the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany, we are the fighters of the great German Führer, we are the strongest defenders of Germany." This time no one hesitated, and all the soldiers replied with loud shouts.
"Do you know why you're called Storm Troopers?"
"Advance like a winter storm, piercing the bitter cold into the heart of the enemy and sweeping away all the enemy who stands in the way of Germany."
"Very well, now is your chance to prove your strength and your loyalty."
Xu Jun nodded to the soldiers with satisfaction.
"Now the honor of our great Motherland has been tarnished by a bunch of cruel beasts and vile conspirators."
Listening to Xu Jun's words, all the soldiers looked at Xu Jun nervously, and when they heard that the honor of their motherland was tarnished, those commandos felt extreme anger, and they held back their anger and stood there quietly listening to their great deputy head tell the crimes of those scum.
"Just yesterday, in Warsaw, there was a shocking and brutal massacre. Five thousand innocent lives were brutally deprived. Now I can tell you that those who were killed were Jews. ”
Those SS commandos couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Xu Jun's words. Jew? Those lowly Jews were slaughtered by 5,000 people, what does that have to do with the honor of the motherland? They all looked at Xu Jun suspiciously.
"Germany's honour has been tarnished, and if the German enemies with ulterior motives know about it, they will use it to attack our great Germany, and we are in a passive position in this matter. Because the people killed this time also included a large number of old people, women and children, and because of this, we may be accused of being cruel butchers for this massacre. Because of this, the Germans will no longer be a noble and civilized race in the eyes of other peoples, and they will see us as savage beasts. I will not tolerate that. ”
After listening to Xu Jun's words, the SS members finally understood what Xu Jun meant, and they were all afraid of the possible insult that Germany would receive. If this had happened, he would not have been able to explain to anyone why Germany had done so, and seeing that Germany's honour might have been tarnished as the Führer had said, the commandos began to grit their teeth and curse the idiots who had planned this stupid massacre.
"And!" Xu Jun raised his voice: "Those conspirators, in addition to taking this opportunity to tarnish Germany's reputation, they also want to use this opportunity to plot against me. ”
"What! There is such a thing! ”
"Your Excellency the Deputy Führer, tell us who those people are."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Deputy Führer, let's go and arrest them all."
"Shoot these conspirators, kill the traitors!"
When the soldiers heard the news, they all shouted loudly.
"Quiet! All quiet! Xu Jun raised his hands and waved, and the soldiers immediately closed their mouths and looked at their deputy head, their eyes full of hatred for those conspirators.
"Now, your mission, led by Colonel Dougan and Captain Shaktel, is to apprehend the organizers and planners of these conspiracies. Arrest them all. And all the executors involved in this massacre, whether it is soldiers or officers, have arrested me, and we have to erase this matter from the roots. Do you understand? ”
"Understood, Your Excellency the Deputy Führer!"
"If any of the people you arrest dare to resist, you have the right to shoot him on the spot. Also, the officers and soldiers of the Gestapo and the SS Einsatzgruppen will cooperate with you in this operation. These conspirators are scum hiding within our Nazi Party, and some are high-ranking generals and government officials. There may also be people you know who you will do. ”
"Your Excellency the Deputy Führer, please trust us, we will not disgrace you, no matter who it is, as long as he does something that hurts our motherland, we will never be soft on them."
"Good."
Xu Jun looked at the commandos with satisfaction: "Your names." ”
"Waffen-SS 77th Storm Commando of the Third Reich"
"No, you are now a Storm Commando under the headquarters of the Cyprus Corps. I will appoint you now, but you will have to prove to me by your actions that you are worthy of this honor. ”
The commandos' eyes lit up when they heard Xu Jun's appointment, and the direct command of the legion meant that no one could order them except the commander, which was the highest honor that could be given to a small unit like them. Now the soldiers were even more grateful to Xu Jun for his respect for them, and they were determined to make those who plotted to kill their commanders pay enough price, and they wanted to prove their worth to their commanders, and prove that they were fully qualified for this honor. Some of the soldiers began to secretly plan that in order to repay the commander's respect, the conspirators who plotted to kill the commander must not let them sit comfortably in the prison car, even if they surrendered immediately. What Xu Jun didn't expect was that it was his act of buying people's hearts that made those arrested Nazi officials taste the pain of not being able to survive and not be able to die, and until those people died, they cursed the guys who led these demonic soldiers.
"Tell me what kind of troops you are." Xu Jun shouted loudly again.
"We are the Storm Commando directly under the headquarters of the "Cyprus" legion. ”
"What is your honor!"
"Our honor is loyalty!"
"Let's go, soldiers."
"Yes! Your Excellency, Deputy Führer! ”
The soldiers split into several groups, rushed out of the hotel under the leadership of Dougan and Saudfar and Tyfer, got into their respective trucks, and sped away.
Xu Jun turned to the officers under him and smiled and said, "It seems that today in Warsaw will be lively for a while." ”
But before the officers could answer, Xu Jun walked towards the stairs under the escort of six commandos.
