However, this time, these seemingly perfect camouflages disappeared under the antenna of the German radio detection vehicle.
Starting from the early morning of May 22, as many as six detection trucks have detected abnormal electromagnetic waves. The furthest detection range of the trucks is 1.5 kilometers. At the German command headquarters, relevant personnel determined the location of their own trucks and then
Circles were drawn on the map with the truck as the center, and an area was finally determined.
Tonight, Henderson did not go to bed early. After learning that the location of the "rat's nest" was basically determined, he had no intention of resting.
Holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, he issued an order to the German army and the local security police who were preparing to go: "You immediately block the intersection of Kirov Street and Victory Street and make as little noise as possible! When you arrive,
After taking the position, guard the intersection and arrest all suspicious persons. If they are arrested, shoot them directly."
That night, 1,500 people took action. How could such a large formation be seamless?!
The Soviet resistance organizations noticed the news, but they were still a step too late! After all, as many as six radio detection vehicles determined the starting position, and the resistance organizations were not moles. They had already taken wings and could not escape.
In the end, the German army completely identified the building where the radio was sent. More than a hundred soldiers broke in and started searching, and successfully found the "rat's nest".
At the last moment, members of the underground resistance organization smashed the transmitter without hesitation and picked up revolvers to prepare for the final battle.
The gun battle was very short, and these revolvers were powerless in the face of the German submachine guns. Two members of the resistance organization died on the spot, and they also shot an enemy. All the remaining members of the resistance organization were captured, and this time
The basement also began to be searched intensively by the German troops.
Henderson, who was guarding the division headquarters, quickly received the good news, and he immediately ordered: "You will interrogate these people immediately, search their activity areas with all your strength, and be sure to collect the most information in the shortest time. After collecting the information,
These people will be hanged in public tomorrow!"
The German army captured a total of five members of the resistance organization. They were first severely beaten, and after being taken to prison, what awaited them was even more inhumane torture.
Because the people interrogating these people were not regular German soldiers, but pseudo-police composed of Ukrainians responsible for public security. Just before the war broke out, they were all Soviet citizens. This war changed everything.
In prison, these guerrillas denounced the crimes of the traitors, but the police had their own logical argument: "We are fighting Stalin's tyranny, and you are Stalin's dogs! You are Russians, and we are
It’s Ukrainians! Your very existence is sinful!”
The whips turned into bright red blood marks on these people's bodies, and they even used red-hot iron to ablate their flesh. Despite this, these heroic guerrillas would rather die than surrender.
The fake police didn't ask anything. It seemed that these people didn't know what pain was. If they continued to torture, they would be killed before being hanged tomorrow, which would be difficult to deal with.
A man who looked like an officer said: "Since you don't say anything, forget it! Anyway, some documents were found in your stronghold, which is enough! All of you will be hanged early tomorrow morning!"
At this point, a guerrilla who had been silent for a long time vomited blood and cursed: "Your doom is not far away! After dawn, when we are hanged, there will be justice from heaven to punish your sins! Since heaven
The coming fire will judge you sinners!"
As soon as these words came out, the officer immediately became interested. This man did not feel disgusted at all by the prisoner's curse. This was just the last cry of the weak! The problem was that what this man said was too literary.
of.
"Haha?! Are you still a Jew? You are a rabbi!" He snapped his fingers and ordered: "You guys go and pull off his pants. If he is really a Jew, we will have merit to report!"
The current ethnic relations in Chernihiv are very sharp. The majority Ukrainians, whether sincerely or not, are ordered to be hostile to the minority Russians. According to the evil plan formulated by the German occupying forces and pseudo-Ukrainians, when this
After the nationalist state is stabilized, all Russians will be expelled and only Ukrainians will be allowed to exist here.
Therefore, the ethnic Russians in the city were always persecuted and expelled as accomplices of the guerrillas, while the Jewish Gypsies were directly killed as soon as they were discovered.
The fake policeman concluded that the man was not a Jew, so he did not take what he said seriously. It was just a useless verbal curse! Can a curse be more useful than a gun?
There is no end to the killing of true patriots!
Due to the current acute contradiction between ourselves and the enemy, Soviet espionage personnel from other countries active in the occupied areas of the Soviet Union all know a simple truth - eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
Chernigov's underground organization has set up multiple strongholds in the city. Their rule is that once a stronghold is discovered by the enemy and personnel are killed, other strongholds will immediately move from hiding to the front to take over the work of the "killed".
The largest stronghold was destroyed by the Germans in the early morning of May 22. The operation that night was a massive operation, and the other three strongholds in the city immediately took action. They expressed regret for the sacrificed comrades, and no one had any more grief. Since they were engaged in this
Everyone in the dangerous job was prepared for sudden sacrifice. They turned on the turned-off radio station and continued to communicate.
This is the radio wave that will never die in Chernigov. At this moment, the personal lives of these telegraph operators are nothing! They are a small node in the entire Soviet intelligence network, and every communication node
They are all vital. Personal lives must be sacrificed, and the transmission of information cannot be interrupted! This is what underground spies like them can do!
On the other hand, the Germans also found something they were hoping for among the seized documents, especially a document that had been received just two hours before the search.
Because the search was too sudden and precise, all the documents from the past were burned as firewood, but the documents from the past few days are still there.
This telegram was quickly sent to Hendrison's division office. He happily received the telegram that had been translated twice in German, and then frowned.
"What kind of intelligence is this? What are the Russians going to do? Are they going to bombard Chernigov?! What a fantasy! Are their troops already outside the city? Or do they think the Russians still have a powerful air force? It's unbelievable!"
What Hendrickson saw was the telegram sent by Salinchkin. Not only did he not understand it, but also the underground fighters of the Soviet army found it baffling.
He discussed with his staff in the office for a while, but still could not come up with a result. The only thing that made him happy was that other captured messages proved that the Romanian army's defeat was due to the Soviet 284th Division's participation in the war! Not only that, the Soviet Union
The real number of the army has been changed to the 63rd Group Army, and the 284th Division is under its jurisdiction.
"At least, we know the true face of the enemy in the swamp. This city is only fifty kilometers away from the Dnieper River! If Chernigov faces huge pressure from city defense, the source of the pressure is the Soviet 63rd Army
!With this information, we can also take credit from our superiors!"
"It's really something worth celebrating!" the chief of staff praised.
"That's right! Schmidt, I don't know what the results of our people's interrogation of the prisoner will be."
"There should be new discoveries! Please wait a moment, I will call to inquire."
Telegrams from the division headquarters were sent directly to the prison. Before the war, this was the police detention center in Chernihiv. Now it has become a good place to detain anti-German elements and suspicious persons.
The fake police failed to obtain valuable information from the prisoners, so they were naturally criticized.
With no other choice, the fake policeman had no choice but to repeat the prisoner's curse.
The German army did not completely laugh off this curse, because compared with the captured documents, it seemed that the Soviet army was really preparing something.
Hendrickson was unsure. He was worried, but he always felt that his worries were unfounded.
