Chapter 355: Saving the Marshal of the Soviet Union (II)
The third telegram was addressed to the Führer, and Li Mo briefly stated the reason why it was necessary to save the two Soviet marshals, and Li Mo was afraid that the telegram would not be clear, so he had to add at the end of the telegram, "Great Führer, the telegram is simple, and I am afraid that the description will not be clear, and I implore the great Führer to support this operation, and I will bear all the consequences." ()()”
The three urgent telegrams were delivered to their respective masters at the first time, and the reply messages were also timely, Rommel and Canaris both expressed their acceptance of Limer's arrangement, and Hitler's telegram was also very clear:
"My dear Marshal Li Mo, although I have not fully understood your strategic intentions now, I believe in your unparalleled strategic vision and unique judgment, so I fully support your actions, but please be careful not to settle grudges with the Soviet Union in advance, which will be very detrimental to our future strategic arrangements."
From Hitler's telegram, Li Mo read out the newcomer, love, and doting, it can be said that Hitler showed all his love on this telegram, and Li Mo burst into tears, shouldn't such a Führer be saved? It must be saved, and no reason is needed.
Rommel received a telegram from his student Li Mo, and his head immediately grew bigger, if it was a war arrangement, Rommel was very experienced, but now let himself organize a rescue operation, Rommel was a layman in this regard, and Rommel had no choice but to immediately find the captain of the "Storm Commando" Otto.
The captain of the "Storm Commando" also soon came to Rommel's office.
"Hey! Hitler. ”
"Otto! You have something to do now, come and read this telegram. ”
Otto hurriedly took the telegram from Rommel with both hands. After a quick look, I said with great confidence:
"General, I am fully confident that I will complete the task assigned by Marshal Li Mo, and the chance of success is more than 60 percent."
"Oh, Otto, you think you're sixty percent sure, you know, if you fail, you're going to die, you've got it right."
"General, I've thought about it. I decided to accept the assignment given by the marshal. And with all the effort to accomplish it, I also know the consequences of failure, I know what to do. ”
"Okay, Otto, now that you've decided to take on this task. I rejoice in your bravery and obedience. I wish you success. Here's all the information you need, and there's also a limited amount of assistance from our agents at the mission location, so take it and study it. If you need anything, you don't need to report it to me, just go directly to the quartermaster department to get it, and at the same time I will send a regiment of soldiers to assist you in simulated training, I wish you success, my friend. ”
"It's the general, guaranteed to complete the mission."
Otto hurriedly took the file handed by Rommel, this file was sent by Canaris just now, which is some information collected by German spies and the location of the two marshals of the Soviet Union, etc., these information still need Otto to go down to study carefully, and then set up a simulated training ground, and finally arrange how to rescue, the specific work is very complicated.
Returning to the "Storm Commando" station, Otto hurriedly convened a meeting of officers, issued the order of the commander, and found out from the file the photos and related materials of the two prisons of Yegorov and Blyukher, which were Lubyanka Prison and Levertovo Prison, Otto's order was very simple, asking them to build a mock building of these two prisons within 20 hours, of course, only build a building near the two marshals, otherwise with the 200 people of the "Storm Commando", An additional German infantry regiment of more than 2,000 men was not enough, because these two prisons were so big that Stalin was carrying out a purge, and these two prisons held more than 100,000 people, to say the least.
Otto, who has been unknown, of course, also wants to become famous in one fell swoop with the help of this incident, and Otto himself has this strength.
In the afternoon of the same day, countless trucks pulled all kinds of building materials to the Storm Commando station, directly on the original training ground to build all kinds of buildings, try to use wooden planks to build, so that the construction work is much faster, Otto did not pay attention to the construction of the building, but organized people to print out the floor plans of the two prisons, each commando has a copy, this is too important, of course, knowing the map is also a quality that every commando must have.
Everything was ready, and at 3 p.m. on January 15, 1941, the 'Rescue Plan' was released! What a bold plan! It's almost like a Arabian Nights myth! Germany is 2,000 kilometers away from Moscow in the Soviet Union, and the "storm commandos" have to rescue two important people in different prisons at the same time, especially since the current Soviet Union itself is a fanatical centralized state, and those guards are Stalin's minions, and Germany's opponents are not only a few Soviet guards, but also a fairly large number of Soviet troops.
In such a situation, it is not so much to fight, but to die! However, it is precisely this that makes the plan possible. The commander-in-chief was General Limer, and the commander of the assault detachment was Otto. In order to ensure the victory of the assault, the German storm commandos and other German personnel, on the basis of old drawings and with reference to the latest information provided by reconnaissance photographs, built part of the physical model of the two prisons at an astonishing speed, the location, the watchtower, and the size of the tower were exactly the same as the two prisons, and even the windows were not less! It was here that the German soldiers who were about to go on an expedition, under the leadership of Otto, repeatedly carried out the final drills before the war.
Skorzny is an Austrian who comes from a military family. As a result of the defeat in the First World War, Austria's economy collapsed, prices skyrocketed, and life was difficult, and Skolzny's family, although they were middle-class, was not immune. Later, the family recalled that Skorzny had never eaten real butter in those hard days, and that Skorzny himself had complained to his father that life was too hard, and that his father told him that there was nothing wrong with it, that such a life would make you stronger. Otto remembered this phrase so that he would become a feared commando in the future.
At this moment, the "most dangerous man in Europe" is directing his men to rush over and over again to the 'cells where important people are held in prisons'. At the German-only airfield in Berlin, Germany, the commandos were ready to go. According to the "rescue plan", 120 selected commandos were transported by 4 JU89 aircraft towing 12 gliders in groups of two JU89s, 6 gliders and 60 "storm commandos" were in charge of one prison, planes 1 and 2 went to Lubyanka prison, and planes 3 and 4 went to Levtovo prison.
Among them, the No. 1 crew will attack the old guard tower of the prison, eliminate the sentries, and rescue the hostages; Crew No. 2 was responsible for suppressing the Soviet defenders, creating chaos, releasing other Soviet political prisoners and destroying other prison facilities in preparation for the evacuation.
