A two-seater reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Air Force was flying 100 kilometers from the boundary between the two armies, and the observer in the back seat was vigorously knocking on the rear glass of the front seat.

The pilot turned his head and saw the observer pointing to the ground on the right.

The pilot pushed the canopy, which had opened a gap, back a little further and poked his head out to look down on the ground beneath the wings. On the black and white ground, you can clearly see long strips of things wriggling forward.

The pilot retracted his head and gave a thumbs up to the observer.

The observer's canopy had long been fully opened for ease of observation, and at this time he took out a red cloth from the cockpit and stretched out his hands to tie the cloth to the radio antenna fixed behind his canopy.

"Let's go and say hello to our brave comrades!"

The Red Guard detachment of Kali Woods was galloping across the wilderness at the speed of a forced march.

Unlike the rest of the Red Guards, the members of the Cali Woods detachment were all selected veterans of the last war. At the end of the war, the veterans discharged their armor and returned to the fields to become ordinary workers and farmers, who were originally going to spend the rest of their lives in peace, but they were inspired by righteousness to take up arms again.

Compared with the ethereal and ethereal "For the glory and interests of Germany" in the last war, and the almost ridiculous "For the Kaiser" now, this time the veterans have a more realistic goal.

In order to protect a happy and healthy life, for a better tomorrow, the veterans strode forward, crossed the plains and rivers, and marched towards the goal.

The sound of the engine was heard in the sky, and as soon as the veteran soldier who served as a non-commissioned officer shouted the word "air raid", the queue that had been gathered on the dirt road was reduced to zero—although the peaceful life lasted for more than ten years, the memory of the obscenity of death was still engraved in the bone marrow.

In just ten seconds, the dirt road was empty, and everyone was hiding in the snowdrifts on the side of the road.

Then the enemy aircraft took to the air.

The expected strafing did not come, the fancy painted two-seater merely skimmed over the heads of the crowd, and with the roar of the engines, someone shouted from the sky.

"Free!"

"The iron wings of Germany are with you!"

“FREEDOM！”

Someone looked up curiously, and immediately noticed that the plane had a small red cloth tied to the radio antenna, and the pilot sitting in the back seat was waving his hand like a madman.

The plane, piloted by a madman, quickly disappeared from the Red Guards, and the veterans looked at each other, got up from the ground in confusion, and prepared to return to the road.

That's when the plane circled around again.

Thinking that it was just a deception, everyone threw themselves into the snowdrift again and hid, and something was thrown from the plane.

Judging by its size, it was probably a grenade, but it didn't explode after landing in the snow. The daring workers approached and found it to be a small package with a scribbled line in pencil: "A gift from the Luftwaffe." ”

The package was immediately delivered to the detachment leader, Kali Woods.

Born from the Franco-German border region of Zweibrücken, Kali Woods worked his way up to the rank of infantry company commander in the last war, but later could no longer rise because of his background.

Although he was only a company commander, he gained the tactical literacy that he did not lose to any school officer in the war, and even mastered the basic knowledge of mapping without a teacher, relying on this knowledge, he led the company through many cruel battles, and finally won the Iron Cross of the first class. But such a hero, after the end of the war, returned to his hometown to become an ordinary pharmacy dispenser, when the economic crisis hit, he was fired from the pharmacy, and he was displaced with his wife and eight-year-old son, and almost starved to death.

Had it not been for the Republican government's economic reforms and cash-for-work efforts, the Kali Woods family would have been corpses on the streets of Zweibrücken by this time.

Therefore, when the Red Guards were formed in the factory where Kali Woods worked, Kali Woods, who had just obtained the job, cut off the German royal insignia on the upper part of the ankh with pliers, and took the rest to find a propaganda cadre sent by the Ministry of Economy, and became the leader of the workers' Red Guards.

He vowed to use his talents to defend the republic that had given his family a way to live.

Before leaving, Kali Woods said to his son Otto: "Daddy may not come back this time, you have to take care of Mommy in my place." ”

Young Otto nodded vigorously.

After leaving his hometown, Kali Woods quickly rose to prominence in the training camp, and was personally selected by the top adviser of the Republic to be the leader of this all-veteran commando team, in order to live up to his mission, he had not slept well for many days, and he only slept for three hours on the longest night.

The extreme lack of sleep had darkened his eyes and bloodshot eyes, but that didn't stop him from looking at the package that had been handed to him.

The first thing you see when you open the package is a very delicately made pastry, which you can tell at first glance is that it is the pilot's ration, and then Kali Woods discovers that the pastry is actually an aeronautical map.

The defense areas of the Imperial Army units are clearly marked on the map, and the words "Updated on the morning of February 27" are written in the corners - it is said that before the pilots go to the general staff to confirm the latest situation between the enemy and the enemy, so that when the plane is hit and forced to land, they can choose their own control area and avoid being captured.

Carley Woods pulled out his map, which was last updated the night before he set off with his team. Callie Woods carefully compared the two maps, and did not speak for a long time, until the Red Guard column that had been passing by them was almost finished, and he put away his own map.

"Judging by this new map, the enemy's troop defense area has been slightly adjusted." As he spoke, Kali Woods opened his throat and shouted, "Troops stop advancing!" Rest in place! The squad leaders will come to me right away! ”

The order quickly passed along the line, and soon the whole column stopped, and several strong men about the same age as Callly Woods came to Carley Woods with guns.

"Look at this." Kali Woods unfolded the newly acquired map, and the commanders of his detachments were all experienced in leading troops in major battles, so it was not a problem for them to look at the map, "The defensive gap we were going to pass through is here. But according to this new diagram, there is a gap in this position that is large enough for us to walk through. ”

"I can run almost 30 kilometers less." One of the squad leaders looked at the map and said, "It will make our attack much earlier." ”

"The question now is," said Kali Woods, "whether this map is real, we have never been instructed that someone will throw us a new map along the way." This may be a trap. ”

"I think it's true," said another detachment leader to Callie Woods, "I talked to the owner of the farm for quite some time last night when I spent the night at the farm, and the map was consistent with what the master had mentioned about the movements of the Imperial Army. The 3rd Infantry Regiment stationed here should have received the transfer order four or five days ago, and this new gap was created by the fact that the change of guard troops did not arrive on time after their transfer. ”

The third detachment commander said: "My troops slept in the stables of the farm, and when I was chatting with the grooms, he mentioned that 'the traffic in the town is a mess', and the change of troops was probably delayed because the railroad was not smooth. ”

Kali Woods looked back and forth at his detachment leaders, and finally made up his mind: "Very well, then we will take advantage of this new loophole and surprise the enemy!" ”

After speaking, he put away the map, stood up, and waved his big hand: "Stop resting and go!" ”

By the time Lieutenant Colonel Dilraz stormed his headquarters, the gunfire in the south of the city was so dense that it was suspicious that time had been turned back to the last battle.

"Where the hell did the enemy come from?" The lieutenant colonel asked in a loud voice, but unfortunately no one in the entire headquarters could answer his question. So the lieutenant colonel changed to a relatively easy question: "How many troops is the enemy?" How's the battle going? ”

"Heavy fighting broke out in the south of the city, and enemy activity was detected in other directions, and we lost contact with the outermost outposts in the city." Captain Dillardz's lieutenant reported aloud that "enemy forces south of the city have seized the outlying positions, and communication with the railway station was cut off five minutes ago." Lieutenant Colonel, we only have logistics troops and engineering troops here, and only one battalion capable of combat, I ask you to give the order to shrink the defensive ......"

"Do you know how far we are from the battle line now?" The lieutenant colonel roared at the captain, "The enemy must be just a small force of harassing troops!" And even just the partisans who blew up the railway bridge before! Don't be afraid! Give me a hard smack! ”

"Yes!"

The captain was about to turn around when Dillards stopped him.

"But do you still want to inform the upper echelons of our situation here, that the telephone and telegraph lines have been restored?"

"Report, no. The fourth batch of maintenance teams sent today has not responded so far. ”

"Didn't I tell you to send a guard to the maintenance team?"

"We sent two squads of soldiers, but until now no one knows where they are going, and communication has not been restored." The captain looked innocent, "Maybe we should send a company to ......"

"Let's not mention that! Is the radio transmitter still working now? ”

The captain glanced at the radio antenna that could be seen from the city defense headquarters, and cautiously replied, "Yes, the radio is still working." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the explosion burst through the window of the city defense headquarters.

The towering radio antenna outside the window fell into the rising cloud of dust under the watchful eyes of the captain and Dilaz himself.

At the same time, the last rays of the sunset disappeared into the sky, and night fell completely.

A crisp gunshot rang out of the window, and the captain standing next to the window collapsed clutching his chest, and Dilardz reacted very quickly and stuck directly to the wall, with the gun already in his hand.

Thanks to his swift reflexes, none of the bullets that crackled into the headquarters found him.

Dilaz cautiously poked his head out of the window frame to observe the situation on the street, and he was surprised to see soldiers in ugly rustic uniforms crawling out of the sewer wells one by one, and immediately hiding into the shadows of the buildings on both sides of the street.

"Damn rats! Sneaked in through the sewers! Diraz was so angry that he turned around and yelled, "Pull the machine gun from the headquarters!" It's on this window! Give me a hard blow! Another machine gun mount to the entrance of the headquarters! ”

Soon the machine gun was dragged over, and the sound of popping beans was heard from the direction of the main entrance, overpowering the rifle fire of Ping Pong.

As Dilardz urged his soldiers to set up their machine guns, tongues of fire erupted from windows into the street, and Dilaz brandished the pistol and shouted, "Shoot them!" Let them have a taste of disobedience to the Empire! ”

Maxine's nets swept down the impacting workers one by one, and Dilards laughed wildly, shooting with his pistol those who had fallen to the ground but were still immobilizing.

Suddenly, tongues of fire erupted from the top of the three-story building across the street, and bullets poured into Dillard's large room in a storm, killing several soldiers operating the machine guns, and the shooter's body fell entirely on the machine gun, pushing the machine gun mounted on the windowsill out of the window.

Immediately after that, shouts of killing rang out in the street outside the window, and figures with rifles rushed out of all corners of the street, rushing towards Dillards's headquarters.

The bright bayonet reflected the cold light in the moonlight.

Dilaz knocked down several "rats" with his pistol in the interval between machine-gun fire on the rooftop, and then the first worker climbed onto the windowsill - apparently the height of the first floor could not stop the workers from fighting fiercely.

After Dilaz shot the first worker, his pistol went into an empty compartment and no bullets came out of the muzzle, no matter how much he pulled the trigger.

He threw away his pistol and was about to draw the saber at his waist when the bayonet on the spear pierced him in the heart. The hands holding the guns were powerful, and they directly jumped up the whole body of Dillards and threw it to the side.

The Commander's body leaped halfway through the map table and hit the edge of his desk, where the lamp was knocked over and tumbled to the ground, causing the wires to pull down the flag of the German Empire that stood behind the Commander's chair.

Almost at the same time, another group of soldiers broke through the defenses of the Imperial soldiers through the main entrance, and several of them ran up the marble staircase and rushed directly to the roof.

The captain of the team pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut the rope of the Imperial flag on the flagpole with a single sword.

The flag, which represented the military cornerstone of the German Empire and the imperial authority, slipped from the flagpole and fell to the marble floor below.

Then, the red flag, representing the union of workers, peasants and soldiers, was planted on the roof of the city defense headquarters and fluttered in the night breeze.
