Hindenburg's huge manor was now surrounded by 3,400 SA members. However, not a single SA member rushed to the gate of the manor.
It was not a huge defensive force that blocked the stormtroopers' footsteps. On the contrary, not even a cleaner could be seen at the entire gate of the manor. The avenue leading to the inner buildings of the manor was straight and quiet in front of the stormtroopers.
Rom was a little worried. He was afraid that there was some fraud involved. It was impossible that the manor of a dignified old marshal of the empire didn't even have a guard. So, the abnormal emptiness in front of him was obviously deliberately caused by someone.
Looking back at the main force of the stormtroopers he had brought, Röhm calmed down a little more. Originally, the total number of stormtroopers in Röhm's hands had reached tens of thousands. But most of them just had no combat effectiveness.
The unemployed and thugs who knew how to smash things up. The only ones who really had a certain fighting capacity were the 3,400 party members in front of me.
These 3,400 stormtroopers were divided into 11 300-man brigades, and one 100-man Roma direct guard. The 300-man stormtrooper brigades were equipped with fixed double row magazines and rotating weapons that had been eliminated long ago.
The Mauser Type 88 rifle with a rear-pull action. The Röhm Direct Guard is equipped with the better Gew.98 Type, an old Wehrmacht standard rifle with a sight.
With such a force, the manor in front of him is not as dangerous as it seems. Rom secretly encouraged himself.
"Captain, the layout of the manor in front of you is too weird. Could it be that all the people inside have escaped?" Heins, who graduated from the Munich Military Academy at the same time as Röhm, walked up the first two steps. Not only did Heins and Röhm
But the graduates at the same time were also colleagues in the Seventh Military District of the Munich Army. Therefore, Heins had long been marked as a close confidant of Röhm. Now, as a close confidant, Heins naturally had to step forward to share Röhm's worries.
"Impossible." Rom shook his head and said, "From here we can clearly see that Hitler's black Mercedes-Benz is still parked next to the main building of the manor. I know Hitler. Even if he wanted to leave, he would not do it.
Hindenburg's car leaves."
Hearing this, Haines said in a serious tone: "Then let me lead two brigades to rush in and explore the bottom to find out what Hindenburg and Hitler are doing."
Rom is very pleased that Hines is loyal. What he needs is a confidant like Hines who is willing to take risks for him. It must be a very dangerous task to lead a team into the manor now. Everyone knows this.
.
Glancing at the few unexpressed SA cadres beside him, Röhm sighed. After all, the Stormtroopers were not yet Röhm's party, and many people here were in a wait-and-see attitude. The few remaining members
, is the one who has already taken a side. Frei before, chose to side with Hitler. But now Heins, he sided with Röhm.
From the bottom of his heart, Rohm was not willing to let Hines take this risk. However, the only person he could safely use now was this top student from the military academy who graduated at the same time as him.
Rohm, who was ruthless, patted Heins on the shoulder and said: "My loyal Heins, you are my best subordinate, I will leave this task to you. I will give you three brigades, with
Let’s play Hindenburg’s trump card. Remember, don’t rush in and pay attention to safety.”
"Yes, Captain!" After replying loudly, Hines called out the two captains and asked them to bring their people into the manor with their own brigade.
The two captains whose names were called reluctantly pulled the team to the front. After all, no one likes to do this kind of minefield work.
However, Hines seemed not to see the expressions of the two captains. He just took out his Ruger P08 pistol from his waist, filled it with 19mm bullets, and then loaded it.
After exchanging glances with Rohm, Hines said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
With an order, Heins's direct brigade quickly rushed into the gate of Hindenburg's manor. Since Heins was a top student at the Munich Military Academy, the stormtroopers under his command all received a certain degree of military training. 300 people
After the brigade broke into the manor, they immediately dispersed and lay down on both sides of the gate. Then, the stormtroopers from the other two brigade slowly walked straight into the manor gate.
"Spread out, spread out!" Hines reminded them very quickly.
It's a pity that these two stormtrooper brigades that came in later had no military qualities at all. Their formations were chaotic and their command was uncoordinated, so Hines's reminder had no effect at all.
On the contrary, since they did not receive any blows, the gang members of the two backward groups laughed at Haines' cowardice.
The two stormtrooper captains even sneered and sneered: "I accepted the order with great righteousness just now, but I didn't expect that my momentum would weaken so quickly."
"Others call it caution. Be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years, hahaha..."
Under the leadership of the two captains, various taunts continued one after another.
"A bunch of idiots!" Heins said angrily: "They dare to be so lax before they are out of danger. It seems that they are not far away from the real danger!"
At the same time, in two three-story concrete auxiliary buildings on both sides of the main building, rows of Wehrmacht soldiers wearing black helmets had quietly loaded their rifles and slowly raised their guns to aim at the stormtrooper vanguard.
Compared with the backward Type 88 rifles of the stormtroopers, the Wehrmacht troops in the auxiliary building are equipped with all G98 rifles. In addition, each floor is equipped with an MG15 machine gun. There are a total of 6 machine guns in the two buildings. To deal with only
A stormtrooper with light weapons, such weapons and equipment can only be described as luxurious.
In the main building of the manor, 100 Hindenburg's private manor guards also gathered at the windows on the first and second floors. Although these guard members were only equipped with some improved shotguns, they could also form a firepower network.
Furthermore, the escort on the front was not the main force. What Hindenburg really relied on were the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the Wehrmacht deployed on both sides of the main building.
...........
Behind the secret door of the study in Hindenburg Manor, Hitler and Göring were sitting on the sofa opposite Hindenburg with embarrassed expressions.
"Rohm is a rip-off, I regard him as a comrade, but he betrayed me at the most critical moment!" Hitler said to Hindenburg sitting behind the desk like a speech: "Once we eliminate Rohm,
With this little man, the rest of the stormtroopers will be back in our hands. At that time, we can take back the initiative..."
"Enough!" Hindenburg interrupted Hitler's rhetoric and shouted angrily: "You knew that tonight was when we launched a coup, but you failed to take care of your subordinates, resulting in the current chaotic situation, so much so that the coup d'etat was launched.
It disrupted my overall deployment."
Hindenburg was angry for a reason. He was originally scheduled to launch troops loyal to him today to seize power in Berlin. However, Hitler's stormtroopers clashed with the SS, causing a large number of SS troops to be transferred around Berlin.
.The extra SS troops are obviously detrimental to the armed coup.
Once the Wehrmacht loyal to Hindenburg met the SS loyal to Zhang Chengtian, it would be a showdown with an unpredictable outcome. All of this was obviously what Hindenburg had tried to avoid before. And after the coup reached a stalemate, the West
Kurt can mobilize the National Defense Forces loyal to the government to suppress it, in which case the coup will completely fail.
The stormtroopers who originally belonged to their own camp suddenly defected, causing an imminent crisis. Now Hindenburg's safety has to be guarded by Hamlet's 1st company and a mere 100 manor guards. This made Hindenburg
How can Den Bao not be angry?
Goering, who was sitting next to Hitler, was already breaking out in a cold sweat. In order to prevent Röhm from improving his status, Göring suggested that Hitler not to reveal the news of the coup to the garrulous stormtroopers. Röw knew that there would be a coup soon.
If Göring was given another chance, he might even be willing to personally inform Röhm that they would join forces with Hindenburg for a coup.
