The young Corporal Martin was sitting on the train to Berlin with several other soldiers, surrounded by civilians, but now no one knew that they were a group of soldiers except themselves.
Corporal Martin was originally an ordinary soldier of the Wehrmacht's 131st Infantry Regiment stationed in Frankfurt, but a few days ago his regiment commander suddenly secretly found more than 30 young soldiers, including him, and arranged a strange order: to go to Berlin in civilian clothes in the name of returning home to visit relatives, where Major General Miller led them on a classified mission.
Martin noticed that the soldiers who received this order with him had one thing in common—they were very young and lived in or near Berlin.
Although this order was strange, as a German soldier, obeying the order was clearly beyond doubt, so the young soldiers began to take the train to Berlin in batches.
After most of the bumpy day, the group arrived at the Berlin train station, and it was the afternoon.
As soon as they got out of the car, they went to an inconspicuous hotel as they had agreed before, and said the code: "The weather is a little bad today." "
Then the boss said, "The dark cloud will eventually dissipate, I wonder if you can help disperse it?" "
Finally the soldier replied, "Oh, I think we can." "The connector is complete. If anyone on the side would think they were crazy, because the weather in Berlin was clear at the moment.
After the two sides finished the code, the boss hung up a sign to suspend business and led them to the courtyard at the back of the hotel.
Martin was the last of the soldiers to set off, the others had arrived in Berlin two days earlier, and Martin was taken aback as soon as he entered the courtyard, which was now crowded with people, roughly more than 100 people, and a few familiar faces inside—another regiment from the same Frankfurt.
Seeing the boss leading Martin and the others into the courtyard, an officer in military uniform in front of the crowd walked quickly to them, "Hello, soldier, I am Major General Miller's aide-de-camp, Major Bach." You are the last soldiers to arrive, and no one recognizes you on the way, right? "
"No, sir!" The highest-ranking soldier in Martin's group immediately answered loudly.
Hearing this, the officer smiled and said, "Okay, then everyone pay attention!" Claim weapons in turn! Then five people will rest in a room, dinner will be brought to your room, and from now on, no one is allowed to leave their room. In the evening, Major General Miller came over and told you what the mission was, disband! "
After hearing this, the more than 100 soldiers who stayed in place immediately divided into groups of five and walked to the rows of rooms.
Martin lay on the bed when he arrived at the room, thinking that his home was not far from here, and he must go home to see it after this mission was completed.
"Hey, Martin! What do you say we are returning to Berlin for? God is mysterious and secretive, and he still does not know what the specific task is. A soldier said to Martin while lying on his bed.
"I don't know what it is, but I always feel uneasy." Martin replied with a frown.
"Quiet rest, looks like there is work to be done at night." The soldier with the highest rank leaned the bullet-free Mauser 98 rifle next to his bed, then lay down on the bed and continued: "We will do whatever the general tells us to do, and we will know what orders we have at night." "
Martin pouted when they heard this, turned sideways and closed their eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
"Hey guys! It's dinner! I don't know how long I slept, but it was already dark, and at the door of the room stood a waiter-looking man with their dinner in his hand, with beef stew, fish and vegetables, and the main food was cornbread.
Martin rubbed his eyes, glanced at the sky outside the window, and then served dinner for five and beckoned the others to join him.
"Wow, dinner is very rich, the food is good for going out on a mission!" One soldier said as he gulped down his food, and everyone else happily ate dinner.
After dinner, the officers began to assemble troops outside, more than 100 soldiers were elite, and the assembly speed was very fast.
In front of the soldiers was a makeshift podium, and a middle-aged man with the rank of major general on his shoulders was standing behind the podium, it was Major General Miller: "Soldiers, I think you are all curious about what task I have transferred you from Frankfurt to carry out in the near future. Before I introduce the mission, I will tell you about a man whose name you should be familiar with, his name is Leon Andrés. That's right, the new chief of operations. He was originally just an ordinary soldier, fortunate to be appreciated by the former chief of operations, Lieutenant General Strauss, and promoted him to the head of the equipment department and the head of the campaign and tactics department, it is reasonable to say that he should remember the kindness and strive to work in the combat department, but he betrayed the whole of Germany for his own interests! He also forced Lieutenant General Strauss to give way to him. He's just a bastard! Speaking of this, Miller glanced at the incredulous faces of the soldiers in the audience with satisfaction.
"This bastard is simply a shame for the military!" "He's so embarrassed to lose Germany's face." "Arrest him and throw him in a damn prison!" The soldiers in the audience listened to Miller's words and expressed their dissatisfaction with Leon.
Miller was very satisfied, but the person in his heart smiled secretly: This group of idiots, they believe whatever I say, haha. Then he pressed his hand at the excited soldiers and said loudly: "Your mission is to attack the war department at night, capture Leon, and hang him!" "
When the soldiers below heard this, they all roared: "Yes! Catch that bastard and hang him! "
Miller waved his hand and said, "Everyone gets bullets and grenades,Then take advantage of the night to sneak up on the war department and take it! "
Hearing this, the soldiers lined up neatly to the ammunition distribution point on the side, and after receiving the ammunition, they pressed one golden bullet after another into the magazine and tied the grenade to their waists.
"Oh, I always thought that Major General Leon was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. Martin's comrade-in-arms gritted their teeth and said to Martin.
"But why do I always feel wrong? Since Major General Lyon became the chief of operations, our training efficiency has increased a lot? And he taught us a lot of tactics that I found very practical. If Major General Lyon was the kind of person who betrayed Germany for his own benefit, as Major General Miller said, how could he still care about the development of the army? Martin didn't become irrational because of Miller's two words like everyone else, he calmly found something wrong.
The soldier was stunned when he heard Martin's words, and said: "It seems to make some sense, oh no matter, whether it is true or false will be clear when we catch Leon and ask?" "
Martin nodded and said, "Well, you're right. But why do I always feel so uneasy? As soon as he finished speaking, the officer not far away began to order the team to regroup and advance covertly towards the combat department.
The soldier finally said: "What is there to be worried about?" Can we still fail in the night raid? Hurry up and go, it's time to go. Then he turned and ran to the troops.
Martin grabbed his rifle and ran to the team after a moment's pause.
