Battle of the Third Reich

The importance of the Brest Fortress is that it is right at an important transportation node. The highway and railway from Warsaw to Moscow cross the Burg River from here. This fortress not only controls the city of Brest, but also guards the water passages on the upper and lower reaches of the West Burg River. In theory, as long as the fortress is not captured for a day, it can cause substantial impact on the surrounding railways and bridges. Threat.

The story of the Brest Guardians made this fortress world-renowned. They fought to the end under the strong German offensive and became the role model of all Red Army soldiers. However, this is another story of time and space. I will skip it for the time being here. .

The first and current commander of the "Wolfman" battalion is Major Wolfgang Hoffman, captain of the SS second-level commando team. Although it was declared to be a special operations battalion, it was actually under the establishment of the regular SS. The SS's ⑨ Special Operations Brigade was the official name printed on the salary receipt.

To put it bluntly, "Ninth Special Operations Battalion" is just a word game played by Himmler. As long as the identity of these troops is recognized by the head of state, then the Armed SS he will never forget can get a new life on this basis. Therefore, these special operations battalions, which entrust the national leaders with their deep hopes, are the best in the SS, both in terms of benefits and weapons, and are second only to the guard flag team carefully crafted for the head of state.

The werewolf battalion was sent to Poland, not only to deal with the problems on the border, they also shouldered the secret mission of the General Security Administration to investigate the deployment and readiness of the Soviet troops across the river. This task carries a certain degree of danger. The Soviet border guards are not a paper sign, and there is a battalion of Soviet internal forces in the sequence of the Brest fortification troops.

The 132nd Guard Battalion of the Internal Security Forces of the Soviet Internal Affairs Committee is responsible for the security tasks at the site of the Brest Fortress Reconstruction Project and Brest Railway Station, as well as the security and anti-spyware work around the border of Brest. The internal security forces of the Soviet National Security Agency never need to reason with others. Their task is to sniff out the enemies of the country, torture each other severely, squeeze out the value, and then drag them to the root of the wall to be shot.

The werewolf battalion conducted its first border patrol on the day of its entry into Podraska. As a result, the SS members were very surprised. They found at least fifteen places on a river bank just 30 kilometers long. Traces left by stowaways.

Some of them were left by ordinary people, but the owners of several traces obviously received professional infiltration training, because important clues were consciously destroyed.

So the werewolves got their first mission, that is, to find out the guys who left these marks before the other party fled back to the other side of the river. Facts have proved that the cost of the SS investment was not in vain. The Werewolf team arrested 22 suspects in the jurisdiction within a week. Six of them were confirmed to have a Soviet background, and five of the remaining people Had once participated in the Polish Army.

After preliminary torture, the captives were handed over to the superior intelligence department. Two of them should have received anti-torture training. They have a firm belief that ordinary people can't understand. The rest are all low-level cannon fodder, so it's hard to expect how much confession can be obtained from their mouths.

The German side did not submit any request for negotiation or protest to the Soviet side. Anyway, the other side will not recognize it even if it mentions the other side. The officers and men of the werewolf group knew that if they were captured on the other side, their superiors would not recognize their identity. The werewolves reached a consensus in private, that is, instead of being tortured and humiliated after being captured, it is better to shoot the last bullet into their head. If they can't do it for some reason, they can seek help from their companions.

Over the next month or so, the Werewolf Battalion’s reconnaissance squad crossed the Burg River several times while taking advantage of the night, and approached the Brest Fortress to reconnaissance, and even sneaked into the city of Brest to obtain A lot of intelligence information that the headquarters is interested in.

Relying on the information provided by the inside, the werewolf battalion successfully ambushed a Red Army infiltration unit on the west bank of the Bug River. Nine Red Army officers and soldiers were killed and seriously injured. The small unit commander and the two Red Army intelligence officers they escorted were captured on the spot and became The most valuable results obtained since the werewolf camp was established.

The battle took place in early December, when the General Security Administration was closely following the operations of the African Army on the Arabian Peninsula, so when the report from the Polish border was transferred to the intelligence service, it did not attract enough attention from intelligence officers. Fortunately, the eyes of Odin discovered the value in time, and they immediately submitted the report to the capital of the empire.

"You just said that this was the special military region of the Western Soviet Union, and Moscow knew nothing about what was happening here?" General Wilma picked up the teapot and added black tea to Dougan's cup.

"For the time being, we think so. There is evidence that the cross-border activities that occurred on the Polish border in the past two months have not been approved by Moscow." Dougan lit the cigarette, threw the match and threw it into an aluminum ashtray.

"They dare to hide something from Stalin? Don't you worry that the Internal People's Committee will report to Moscow, or will we protest to the Soviet government?" Wilma asked in surprise. He could not imagine that in the context of the Great Cleansing, there were people who dared to die like this.

"Because the local People's Committee of Internal Affairs has also been involved, now the high level of the Western Special Military Region has formed a community of interests. As for our protest, do you think Stalin will believe it?" Dougan replied with a sneer.

"What can be confirmed is that the cross-border activities that occurred in September and October were mostly led by the Soviet National Security Administration, and the people we captured at the border in the past two months were mostly from the Red Army intelligence units." Dao Root dusted the ashes in the ashtray and continued: "A week ago, our intelligence personnel accidentally got a very interesting order, which called for the mobilization of two ships of the Red Army's inland fleet in the name of routine investigation. The military transport ship, the order came directly from the military headquarters, and the final signature was the commander General Pavlov. At the same time, we obtained a confession from the mouth of a captive. He was indeed at the time indicated on the order. The upper reaches of the Sibug River stole across the border, and he was riding on one of those two transport ships.".

"Is there anything suspicious here? General Dougan." Wilma could see no problem.

"A military commander and a Soviet Red Army general, why did he issue such an order in person, he clearly has a bunch of more important tasks to deal with." Dougan raised his hand and picked up the teacup.

"I can only talk about here, which involves the secrets of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. You only need to know that what happened here is not something you can intervene. From next year, the headquarters will take over related matters. Plan. As for the SS Special Battalion, the head of state will send them a new commander."

"Yuan Chief Change Commander? Why?"

"This is not a question you should ask, General Wilma. Have you forgotten the honor of the SS? But you don’t have to worry about it. Your results here are obvious to all. I believe you will get a promotion soon, and the head of state will not. Grieving the heroes of the empire." Dogen raised his eyebrows.

"I see, I'm glad you told me this, General Dougan." Wilma bowed her head respectfully.

PS: I feel a bit sick today, and I have fewer words. I hope you understand.
