They did not encounter too many troubles along the way. At dawn, Konings, Marcos and his party had successfully landed on the ice near Viborg, and then at noon, they encountered a group of the Swedish-Finnish coalition.
The patrolmen, after Konings and others determined the identity of the Germans, were brought to Rommel.
"Your Majesty General!" Konings and Marcos stepped forward and saluted.
Rommel returned the military salute and said with a smile: "You came quite quickly."
Marcos said: "We were originally going to Helsinki to carry out a decapitation operation against the Soviet headquarters. However, when we were still more than ten kilometers away from Helsinki, we received an emergency order from the base camp and changed our mission. Let us
I took over the security mission of His Excellency the General, so I was able to get to Vyborg so quickly."
"Oh, really?" Rommel shrugged, he really didn't know about this.
After a pause, Rommel added: "Then, the security task of the coalition command will be handed over to you, but I wonder if you have any good security suggestions?"
Konings was in no hurry to express his opinion.
Marcos said: "There is an old proverb among the hunters in Bremen, you can only hunt a wolf in a thousand days, but you can never defend against a wolf in a thousand days. It means that beasts like wolves are too cunning and cannot be guarded against."
Yes, if you only think about defense, sooner or later the wolf will snatch away the lamb, so the most effective way is to take the initiative and kill the wolf first!"
Of course, Marcos advocates offense. The purpose of establishing the Brandenburg Special Forces at the base camp is to attack, attack, and continue to attack until the enemy is completely eliminated! Of course, this does not mean that Brandenburg will not defend itself.
In fact, they were also good at defensive operations, but he didn't think it was necessary.
Because passive defense is a waste of time, who knows when the opponent will come?
Marcos was not willing to wait here any longer. He also wanted to eliminate the Soviet special forces as soon as possible, and then set off to Helsinki again to carry out a beheading operation on the Soviet headquarters! After finally getting out, Marcos did not want to go back empty-handed.
, you have to take a few heads of senior Soviet generals back with you, right?
"Are you taking the initiative?" Rommel frowned, turned his gaze to Konings, and asked, "Colonel Konings, what do you think?"
Konings was much calmer than Marcos. From Rommel's slight frown just now, Konings had already guessed what he was thinking in his heart, and immediately said: "I think it's better not to attack rashly, in case you hit the opponent's target."
An ambush would be bad, but I heard that the Soviet special forces are quite difficult to deal with."
"Quite difficult?" Marcos said incredulously, "How difficult is it?"
A slight displeasure flashed across Konings's face. He was a colonel anyway, but Marcos was just a captain. A captain openly questioned him as a colonel. Is this really okay?
However, this trace of unhappiness disappeared in just a flash, and Konings's expression quickly returned to its original state.
Because Konings instantly thought that Marcos was the captain of the Brandenburg Special Forces, it was understandable that he would be arrogant.
At that moment, Konings smiled and said: "Captain, this Soviet special force has killed many elite ski teams sent by the Finnish Defense Forces."
"The Finnish army?" Marcos said incredulously, "How much combat effectiveness can it have?"
Konings said: "Captain, I have no intention of arguing with you, but as far as I know, the Finnish Defense Forces still have quite a few elite ski teams, especially one led by a Finnish staff sergeant named Simon Heyer.
The small team has the strongest combat effectiveness. I have fought against them and their marksmanship is still very accurate, and they are especially good at fighting in the forest, sea and snowy fields."
After a pause, Konings continued: "Especially Simon Haye. In the first stage of the Soviet-Finnish war, he killed more than 700 Soviet soldiers in less than a hundred days. The Soviet Union
The soldiers of the Northwestern Front of the Army were very angry and gave him the nickname "White Death".
"That's because he was lucky and didn't meet the real elite!" Marcos didn't take the record created by Simon Haye seriously at all, and said, "What if he met us Brandenburg?"
The special forces turned him into a dead man in minutes and gave him the White Death. Who wouldn't do it just to brag?"
Konings spread his hands at Rommel and said nothing.
Rommel disliked Marcos even more, and frowned and said: "Captain, I think Colonel Konings is right. You should do your job well and try to ensure the safety of the headquarters. As for taking the initiative to attack, you should not
Come to think of it, after all, even if the Soviet special forces are eliminated, there won't be much benefit."
Rommel had already spoken, and Marcos could only choose to obey.
Rommel was still uneasy and said: "Also, Colonel Konings came to Helsinki not long ago and conducted a confrontation exercise with the Finnish Defense Forces. He is also more familiar with the battlefield environment in Northern Europe. Therefore, your squadron
How about letting Colonel Konings take command for the time being?"
Marcos immediately looked at Konings with his eyes.
Konings spread his hands, indicating that I will not take the blame.
Marcos had no choice but to stand at attention and respond: "Yes!"
Rommel nodded with satisfaction and said to Konings: "Colonel, I'll leave it to you."
Konings stood up straight and responded loudly: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely take on the task of protecting the coalition headquarters and ensure that the headquarters will not be attacked by any enemy."
"I believe you." Rommel nodded, turned around and got into the command vehicle.
Watching Rommel enter the command vehicle, Konings put down his raised right hand and said to Marcos: "Captain, let's arrange the specific division of labor?"
Marcos said dullly: "Give me the order."
Although arrogant, Marcos still knew the priorities.
After all, the order given to them by the base camp was to unconditionally obey the orders of Major General Rommel. Now that Major General Rommel has handed over the security work to Konings, he can only obey.
Cornings was not polite to Marcos, and directly ordered: "Okay, do you see the forest in front of you? Although it is not a dense forest, it will still seriously block our view, so you will be asked later.
Lead the troops and use armored vehicles to bulldoze the forest and ensure that there is no obstruction within two kilometers around the headquarters."
"Then what?" Marcos said, "What do we do after we bulldoze the woods?"
Konings said: "Then you change your military uniforms and pretend to be Swedish guards at the headquarters, and just wait for the enemy to come. If you feel too bored, you can learn to ski. It may be useful."
"Skiing? We already know how to do it." Marcos said angrily, "Is there anything else?"
"No more." Konings smiled slightly and added, "It's great that you can ski."
"It's not just skiing, what's the big deal?" Marcos said proudly, "Our members of the Brandenburg Special Forces are not only skiing, but also mastered parachuting, flying planes, tanks and other skills.
, if necessary, we can even drive warships and submarines, we are all-rounders."
"Oh, really?" Cornings said, "You guys are really good."
Marcos said: "But, Colonel, are you sure this is okay?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Konings said confidently, "Captain, I can guarantee you that as long as that group of Soviet special forces enters the vicinity of the headquarters, there will be no return!"
Marcos hummed and said nothing more.
But from his expression, it was obvious that he didn't believe it.
There is not much to say next. Marcos led his people to clear out the woods outside the headquarters and was responsible for clearing an open space with a diameter of more than two kilometers. Konings himself was not idle either. He turned around and climbed into Rommel's armored command vehicle.
On the top of the building, use a telescope to look around, and then make a mark.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and it soon became dark.
At this time, Vyborg had been successfully captured, but for safety reasons, Rommel did not intend to move his headquarters to the city of Vyborg, because at this time, Vyborg had been reduced to ruins. Among the ruins, there were
There are too many places to hide, and Soviet snipers can easily find opportunities to kill.
After taking Vyborg, Rommel immediately divided his army into two groups, and the main force stayed near Vyborg to step up the construction of defenses. Even though the main force of the Soviet army was advancing at full speed towards Vasa, Rommel still had no clue.
If the Soviet army suddenly turns around and they are not prepared, the situation will be reversed in an instant.
While fully operating the front-line defense of Vyborg, Rommel dispatched three tank regiments, coordinated by nine infantry regiments, to the direction of Losevo, preparing to intercept the Soviet reinforcements coming from the direction of Leningrad.
, the logistics supply line from Vaasa to Jyväskylä and then to Vyborg can be maintained for the time being.
As for how long this logistics supply line can be held, it depends on how long the attacking partial division can hold off the Soviet reinforcements coming from the direction of Leningrad. If this partial division can hold off the Soviet reinforcements for a month, then Rommel will have
Enough to annihilate the main force of the Northwest Front Army led by Timoshenko.
Of course, this can only be a good wish.
By now, Rommel knew very well that the best outcome could only be a tie.
In fact, Wolf Cave has also been secretly preparing to negotiate with the Soviets. The reason why it has not yet taken action is that it just wants to seize as many bargaining chips as possible before formal negotiations. Perhaps the Soviet Union on the opposite side
People think the same way, so they send special forces to behead the coalition headquarters.
But this has nothing to do with Rommel, he only needs to do his job well.
