Chapter 496: Killing the Whole Group

The people who were holding a combat meeting in the 201st Division headquarters on the front line were stunned when they heard the urgent call from Viscount Austin.

At present, the Germans may launch an attack at any time. What could be more urgent than this?

Could it be that His Majesty is here in person?

One of the brigade commanders looked at the equally confused Division Commander Isaac and asked. "Division Commander, what should we do?"

Division Commander Isaac didn't think much about it and made a decision. "Since the commander has called, there must be an emergency. Everyone is here, John, you go and prepare the car immediately, and let's go together." He is a very conservative and traditional soldier. He believes that "obeying orders is the duty of a soldier", but he doesn't have the courage of "a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from the army". Even though he knows that the battle may break out at any time, he resolutely decides to obey the commander's order and go to the headquarters to attend the meeting.

His headquarters is the farthest from the headquarters, and he has to set off immediately to arrive on time.

Fortunately, the car didn't break down halfway, and they arrived at the headquarters ten minutes ahead of schedule.

"It seems that there is indeed something important." Several armed military policemen were guarding the door of the headquarters meeting room, requiring them to remove their weapons before entering. In the meeting room, there was at least a row of military policemen standing against the wall, surrounding the entire meeting room.

Isaac sat down at his seat and whispered to his colleague next to him. "What happened? Why are you calling everyone here at this time?"

The colleague smiled bitterly and shrugged, indicating that he didn't know, and paused for a while and whispered. "I only heard that these military police came from London and were sent by Mr. Churchill himself."

They didn't wait for long. A few minutes later, Viscount Austin walked into the meeting room with several military policemen.

Seeing the commander coming, someone immediately asked impatiently. "Commander, what emergency happened?"

Viscount Austin shook his head. "Like everyone else, I don't know anything yet. Since you are all here, Major Robert, you can read out Mr. Churchill's order."

Major Robert glanced at the meeting room, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly. "Of course, no problem. Lord Churchill's order is to let the Plymouth defenders raise the white flag and surrender. Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!!"

"What??" The whole venue was in an uproar. Everyone's first thought was that Churchill was going to be a traitor? But then they thought that he was an extremely firm advocate of war, how could he surrender!

There was only one possibility left, Viscount Austin suddenly reacted and shouted. "You, you are Germans!!"

Many people subconsciously touched the holsters on their waists, but only then did they remember that they had handed over all their weapons before coming in.

Looking at the wonderful expression on Viscount Austin's face, Major Robert smiled proudly. "It seems that our commander has finally come to his senses. Then I will introduce myself again. I am Robert, the captain of the first squadron of the German DreamWorks Special Forces. Our large forces are about to land. If you cooperate, it will be good for everyone. If you don't cooperate, there will be bloodshed here. Without you commanders, how much can the soldiers on the front line play a role?"

In the original time and space, Scholz implemented a bold plan called "Griffin".

It was carried out by 160 agents who were proficient in English. During the training, they tried their best to imitate the lifestyle of the US military. They needed to watch Hollywood movies, get used to chewing gum, and get used to lazily saluting their superiors. The ultimate goal was to learn to be an American soldier in order to achieve the effect of being real.

After preparation, each member of the action team received a set of US military uniforms, as well as disguised identity documents and US dollars, and then broke through the US military's defense line and sneaked into the rear of the US military. These special forces disguised themselves as American military police and worked at intersections, giving passing American vehicles the wrong direction, intercepting American personnel, making all kinds of difficulties, and openly treating American personnel who could not answer as spies and shooting them on the spot.

Their actions caused great panic among the Allies, so much so that General Bradley, commander of the 12th Army of the United States, was also interrogated. In his memoir "A Soldier's Story", he recalled an experience of visiting Lieutenant General Hedges. "At first, an inspector asked me where the capital of Illinois was. I answered that it was Springfield. Unexpectedly, he "corrected" me and said it should be Chicago."

These situations greatly annoyed the Allied Command, and ordered the military police to search out these German disguised personnel who had infiltrated the rear at all costs and execute them.

The most "legendary" one was the "Griffin Kidnapping Operation" planned by the mustache himself in December 1944.

According to the plan, a "kidnapping team" consisting of 10 elite soldiers will disguise themselves as American soldiers and secretly go to the town of Fontainebleau in the south of Paris (the location of the Allied headquarters) to kidnap General Eisenhower, the Allied commander-in-chief, right under the noses of thousands of Allied troops. The German high-ranking officials believed that the chaos caused by the kidnapping operation within the Allied forces could increase their chances of saving the defeat. But ironically, when the kidnapping operation began, because the team members were disguised too realistically, 9 of the 10 people were mistaken for American soldiers by the German Air Force and were killed, and the kidnapping operation was aborted.

Robert belongs to the German DreamWorks department, which is a special force responsible for disguising and sneaking behind enemy lines to carry out missions.

As Major Robert spoke, the "military police" around raised their Thompson submachine guns and pointed them at everyone. The sound of the bolts pulling the bolts made everyone pale. The Thompson submachine guns in these people's hands were all 50-round drums. As long as they opened fire, the whole conference room would definitely be a river of blood.

And Major Robert continued to remind "kindly". "Sir Viscount Austin, don't forget those people who went to check the arsenal before. If you disagree, your arsenal will also be blown up."

"..." Viscount Austin really wanted to slap himself hard. He was so stupid that he let the Germans enter his headquarters in a big way. He was scolded for a long time. In the end, he called all the front-line commanders over according to the Germans' wishes so that the Germans could wipe them out.

Maybe he was the stupidest commander in British history?

But this can't be blamed entirely on him. The documents forged by the Germans were so realistic that even the signature and seal of Prime Minister Churchill could not let him find any flaws.

"Lord Austin, all the officers, I'll give you five minutes to think about it. If you don't surrender, we'll all die together. If anyone refuses, they can stand up at any time, and I'll help them." Major Robert pulled out an M1911 pistol from his holster and slammed it on the table.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The entire meeting room fell into a deathly silence. Although most of the people present were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and believed that dying on the battlefield and being wrapped in horsehide was an honor and a privilege, few people were willing to die in such a cowardly way.
