Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 421: Military observer (middle)

The current Greeks, or the residents living on the Greek soil, have only a small part of the descendants of the ancient Greek nation, and their lineage has long been confused with the Dorian invaders and the northern people who later moved here. Egypt is somewhat similar, and they have little blood lineage with the ancient Greeks.

After being ruled by the Ottoman Empire for a long time, Turkish culture has left an indelible mark on the country. Many modern words in Greek are directly copied from the pronunciation of Turkish.

The living habits and religious traditions of the Greeks have also been changed, and traces of the period of Ottoman rule have been kept everywhere. Although the Greeks tried hard to "purify" their people and even wielded the butcher's knife, these habits have long been They are deeply imprinted into their blood, and because they have lost so much cultural heritage that they themselves do not know how to distinguish between authenticity and authenticity.

Just look at the national costumes of the Greeks. The whole is a mix of Macedonia, Turkey, and Slavic products. They also claim to be inherited from Byzantium, and don’t think about how Byzantium popularized the religious hat that appeared in the mid-eighteenth century. .

Orthodox Christians are predominant in the south of Greece. At that time, the Ottoman Empire was very open to religious management. It did not force pagans under rule to change their faith. People of all ethnic groups living in the old Byzantine territory only need to pay an extra tax to continue their faith. Their god, although the single tax is not high, but the total amount of accumulation is very huge, and later the Turks even banned the believers from changing the door to prevent this "source of money" from being damaged.

When the Greek War of Independence broke out, Orthodox Christians in southern Greece cleansed blood from other religious believers. The remnants of the Ottoman Empire were almost cleared along the Mediterranean coast, leaving only Crete, which had not yet been returned to Greece. , And the mountainous regions of northern Greece with blurred borders, still retain a part of pious ******.

At the same time, the **** and savage tradition of the Turks in dealing with foreign enemies is still preserved. The Greek army may still be bound by the rules of civilized world wars, but the Greek civilians only know to follow their “old” customs and fall into the hands of the regular Greek army. At least 50% of the opportunities to retain their lives, but fall into those In the hands of Greek civilians, you can only pray that you can die early.

Historically, the Germans have personally learned about the fierceness of the Greeks. Many of the paratroopers separated from the large forces in the airborne of Crete died in the murder of local Greek villagers. Historically, these paratroopers only carried a pistol and two grenades, and other equipment was placed in the airborne tube, so once the landing point was far away from the large forces, it was easy to be captured by armed villagers.

These Greek villagers beat the captured German paratroopers to death with wooden sticks, then stripped their military uniforms, dug out their eyes, cut off their noses and ears, and even cut off their genitals, and finally cut their throats or cut off their heads directly, Then threw it on the roadside to expose the dead.

This eventually led to the **** revenge of the Greek civilians after the Battle of Crete by the German paratroopers. German paratroopers concentrated on the island's male residents between the ages of 18 and 55, and at least half of them were shot. In real history, because of this matter, Studen was sent to the military court by the British after the war, and finally the general was acquitted by the court, because the court found that it was a legitimate act of revenge during the war.

However, in this time and space, the Germans and the Greeks fought side by side, and the two sides became close allies. In the eyes of the German head of state, there is really a taste of black humor.

Lieutenant Bart is a member of a six-person observation team. His external identity belongs to the Army Staff. Like the other five colleagues, they were not given the task of other consultants, but were ordered to operate in the frontline area, record and report on this. First-hand information about a war. This task is somewhat dangerous, and everyone is prepared to sacrifice before leaving.

The Greek military originally arranged for them to follow the frontline army, but they didn’t know which part of the problem occurred. These Germans were confusedly airlifted to an ancient mountain village surrounded by mountains. The forgotten Greek mountain infantry company, and the commander of the army at that time had no knowledge of the imminent invasion of the Italians.

When it was discovered that there might be an error, and it was too late to remedy it, the Italian army had already crossed the border in a mighty way. The Greek army had contracted back quickly after a little resistance according to the planned plan, and lured the Italian troops into deeper. Pindus Mountains region.

So this observation team and the mountain company became the lone army left behind on the front line. The Germans thought this was a good opportunity to observe the battle at close range, and they rejected the recommendation of their superiors to evacuate. For security reasons, they shut down the radio they carried with them, relying on an ancient telephone line for external contact, and the stork light contact that transports supplies and investigation reports once a night.

The Germans taught the Greek mountain people in nearby mountain villages how to lay out the village defense. In fact, they basically copied the national defense booklet written by the British. Facts have proved that the British really have their unique side in defense, especially in the layout of traps. Disguised with the position, even the Germans were only willing to worship.

The Germans initially opposed the letting the civilians participate in the resistance, but the Greek villagers were extremely excited, like rushing to a carnival. From the teenagers who didn't even grow beards to the gray-haired aging, it seems that every Greek regards fighting the Italians as a kind of national duty and glory.

The Germans knew at this time that the Greeks had been preparing for this war for ten years. The Germans could not understand the Greeks’ thoughts, but they knew that the Italians who had only prepared hurriedly would have been miserable. failure.

German observers taught Greek villagers how to set up bait mines and traps at home, how to catch single Italian soldiers, how to use their weapons more effectively, where to attack can make people lose their resistance quickly, and where to attack It is easy to kill, and many of these are special skills that cannot be learned in regular military schools.

This is mainly due to the instructor Mr. Bart, who was trained in Brandenburg. Speaking of which, Brandenburg’s training is not a special force at all, but a more advanced armed spy. Lieutenant Bart has performed many difficult infiltration and destruction missions before and after the Battle of England. Here.

The battle of the destruction of Castantino, Bart watched all the way, the Greeks showed more professionalism and bravery than he imagined, they knew that this action would definitely lead to the final destruction of the village, and the Italians would definitely do this Retaliation was launched, but no one expressed objections at this moment.

However, it is said that the Greek government assured them that all losses caused by the war will be doubled back to the Italians after the war.

The Italian vanguard made a mistake that the veterans would never make. They even did not gather together after entering the village, but dispersed to enter the house search in the form of a group. This is basically to create various breaks for the opponent. opportunity.

In the end, eighteen Italian officers and soldiers in Castantino were killed on the spot, and the remaining eight were captured by Greek villagers, including two minor injuries and three seriously injured. promise.
