Chapter 1845 The head of state admits to counseling
Outside the carriage, the Langya team members were desperately adding firewood under the car. However, because the weather was too cold, and the firewood was soaked in ice and snow and was almost wet, it was difficult to ignite it, and the fire could not become big for a while.
Lu Han cursed while adding firewood: "Damn it, if only there was gasoline."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Shi Xiaoqian next to him said angrily, "If there was gasoline, why would you bother to set it on fire? Just pour gasoline on the body of the car and you can eat the car in a few minutes.
Roast human flesh.”
Xu Rui was helpless at this time. He couldn't find gasoline or diesel, and the firewood was too wet, so he could only bake like this.
However, Xu Rui was a little worried that time might not allow them to roast the people hiding in the car.
What's the saying? The more you worry about something, the more it will come to you. Xu Rui was worried that time would not allow him, but when he turned around, he saw a figure gliding over quickly on the snow in front of him.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a pheasant placed on guard outside.
"Captain!" Pheasant shouted from far away, "Reinforcements are coming!"
In fact, there is no need for Pheasant to remind Xu Rui, because a large number of car lights have appeared in the northeast. Obviously, a convoy is coming this way. Through the flickering car lights, a large number of infantry can be faintly seen.
, was running behind the convoy to follow up. It was roughly estimated that there was at least one battalion of enemy troops coming for reinforcements.
If you were in a dense forest, a mere battalion would not be in Xu Rui's eyes at all.
But if they were in an open area, their Wolf Fang wouldn't even have a chance. After all, in addition to infantry, the opponent also had dozens of tanks and armored vehicles.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Xu Rui decisively gave the order to retreat.
To put it bluntly, this is not a Chinese war, and there is no need to be too desperate.
In less than a moment, more than fifty Langyas had already stepped on their skis, quickly crossing the open area outside the coalition headquarters and disappearing into the dense forest.
…
Five miles northeast.
Rommel stood on the turret of a tank, rolling over the snow. Behind the tank he was riding in, there were more than 20 other tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles, on both sides and behind the tanks and armored vehicles.
There was at least one regiment of Swedish infantrymen carrying Mosin Nagants and bending down to follow.
Before dark yesterday, Rommel left the coalition headquarters on the pretext of going to Vyborg for an inspection, and also took most of the staff in the headquarters with him. This was actually a tacit agreement between Rommel and Konings.
There was a tacit understanding, because Rommel knew what Konings wanted to do, so if he stayed, it would be difficult for Konings to do it.
Of course, there was another reason that Rommel did not say. Rommel was one of the few survivors who had personally experienced the hunting of Langya and survived, but he had been frightened by Langya, so he felt that
It is very dangerous to stay at the headquarters. It is better to go to the headquarters of the First Army of the Swedish Defense Forces. It is safer there.
Although Rommel hid in the headquarters of the Swedish Defense Forces, he was always worried about the headquarters, so he would have people call here every half hour to ask about the situation. Until two hours ago, the department
Ningsi reported to him that the Soviet special forces had been completely wiped out by them, and his hanging heart finally fell.
Rommel then asked the staff at the headquarters to pack their bags and prepare to return to the headquarters.
But before setting off, Rommel made a habitual call to the headquarters. This good habit not only saved his own life, but also saved Konings and Marcos by accident.
After making the call, no one answered. Rommel immediately realized that something must have happened to the headquarters, so he borrowed a tank company and an infantry regiment from Edward and hurriedly rushed in for reinforcements.
Standing on the tank's turret, Rommel discovered that the lights in the command post had gone out.
There was still a ball of fire, but the size of the fire seemed a bit too big. It had exceeded the average bonfire. It looked like a fire. Seeing this scene, Rommel became more and more sure that something had happened to the headquarters. At that moment,
He ducked into the turret and ordered the driver to speed up.
The tank driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the exhaust port behind the tank's butt immediately spewed out billowing black smoke, then sped up and crawled. After a while, he took the lead in running over the trench outside the headquarters and drove in
When I entered the headquarters, I saw that the whole headquarters was in a mess, full of corpses.
Subsequently, more than 20 Swedish tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles also drove in, and a regiment of Swedish infantry also quickly followed, quickly assuming internal and external security.
Rommel emerged from the tank turret and saw the burning fire at a glance.
By this time, the fire had fully started, and the tracks and several pairs of driven wheels of the command vehicle had begun to turn slightly red. You can fully imagine how high the temperature was in the carriage! Rommel instantly realized what had just happened here, and immediately ordered
The soldiers brought snow to put out the fire and prepared to open the door.
As a result, the car door was locked and could not be opened from the outside.
While Rommel asked the soldiers to get some snow to cool the car body, he shouted to the inside: "Is there anyone inside? Can the people inside hear it? Please open the door, I am Rommel!"
After shouting for a long time, the iron door finally opened a crack.
A German volunteer quickly stepped forward and opened the iron door, and then a figure immediately fell out of the door. Rommel could see clearly that the fallen man was none other than Marcos.
"Marcos?" Rommel helped Marcos up and asked, "Can you speak?"
Marcos's consciousness was obviously very blurred. He just glanced at Rommel and said nothing. Then he fainted and died. Rommel put Marcos down on the ground and rushed into the carriage in the heat wave.
Then he saw Konings and four other staff members, all five of whom had passed out.
Rommel immediately ordered the guards to carry the people out.
At dawn, Marcos woke up first and told Rommel everything that happened last night. However, Marcos was still a little unconvinced and shouted that he would fight the Soviet special forces again. However, Rommel was already scared and immediately
Sent a telegram to Wolf Lair, reporting what happened last night.
Rommel did not say much in the telegram, but only reported the facts objectively, but he firmly believed that the head of state would understand what he meant and make the wisest decision.
…
Rommel's telegram quickly reached Wolf's Lair.
The head of state immediately called for Göring, Hillem and several other confidants.
"The situation is much worse than expected." The head of state motioned to several of his confidants to circulate the telegram. After the circulation was completed, he added, "Originally, I was thinking of gaining more bargaining chips by carrying out a beheading battle against the Soviet Northwest Front. But with the current situation
Look, if you continue to spend like this, not only will you not win more chips, but you will lose more chips."
Hillem frowned and said: "When did the Soviet Union form a special forces?" After a pause, he continued, "And the combat effectiveness of the Soviet special forces is so strong? Even our Brandenburg special forces
The army is not his opponent? This is so surprising and even more alarming!"
Goering still seemed nonchalant and said calmly: "Führer, do you want to send out the air force?"
After a pause, Goering said with great confidence: "I can guarantee you that as soon as our air force is dispatched, the Soviet troops trapped in the Finnish battlefield will be blown into ashes within three days."
The Führer knew what kind of character Göring was and filtered his words directly.
Hillem said: "Head of State, it is better to call Stockholm quickly and ask Ambassador Goode not to wait any longer, and to quickly try to contact the Soviets. The top priority is to first achieve a ceasefire. According to the current line of actual control between the two sides,
We need to establish a ceasefire first, and then slowly talk about how to resolve the incident in Finland."
The head of state was convinced and gave in.
…
At almost the same time, the lights in the Kremlin remained on all night.
Marshal Voroshilov and Budyonny were also invited to the Kremlin.
Stalin had also received a telegram from Xu Rui, but there was no good news in the telegram. It was all bad news. First, the decapitation operation failed again. Although it successfully destroyed the coalition headquarters and killed many people,
However, the commander of the Swedish-Finnish coalition escaped by hiding in an armored command vehicle.
What made Stalin even more irritated than this was that the special service team of the headquarters, which had just been formed into an army, was completely destroyed in the first battle. Even the captain August was not spared! If it hadn't been for Langya's previous attack
It helped them a lot during the battle, and Stalin even doubted whether Langya would collude with the coalition forces.
After reading the telegram, Budyonny said: "Comrade Stalin, from what Comrade Xu Rui said in the telegram, there is no problem. On the contrary, his ability to respond to battle is very good. After the special service team was ambushed, he did not retreat hastily.
Instead, they continued to stay in place and wait for the opportunity, and finally they did wait for the opportunity. Unfortunately, they failed to destroy the last armored command vehicle, so they failed to kill the commander of the Ryfen coalition."
Voroshilov also nodded and said: "I also think that the total destruction of the special service team was just an accident."
In fact, Voroshilov and Budyonny are not stupid. How could they not see Xu Rui's plan?
But what can we do if we see it? If it were them, they would do the same thing. In order to succeed in beheading, it is absolutely necessary to make some sacrifices. From the standpoint of the Soviet Union, of course we hope that the Wolf Fang Brigade will make sacrifices, but from the standpoint of China
From a human standpoint, the August Special Forces team would definitely be sacrificed first.
Stalin also saw this.
What Stalin really cared about was not this. What he cared about was that Germany had powerful special forces. Even Japan and China had them, but the Soviet Union did not.
