Chapter 620 Brandenburg Squadron (II)
The Brandenburg detachment that met the 11th Army was a special company... The Brandenburg detachment generally does not have too many people operating together, because they are worried that the target is too large and it is easier to obtain intelligence when they disperse. .
The company commander was a young captain named Erich. It didn't take long for Qin Chuan to see this young man wearing a Soviet captain's uniform.
"Nice to meet you, Major!" Erich saluted Qin Chuan.
He came specially to meet the legendary "Legendary Sergeant".
"Me too!" Qin Chuan replied simply.
Not far away, Werner joked: "Hey, Captain, are you here to surrender to us?"
"Oh!" Erich replied humorously: "It seems that I should introduce my Soviet name to the major..."
After saying that, Erich pretended to be depressed and bowed in front of Qin Chuan: "Alekseev surrenders to you, respected major, I want to live!"
The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
"So!" Qin Chuan asked Erich as he continued to climb higher: "Each of you has two identities?"
"Of course!" Erich replied: "In fact, there are more than two identities. We can have three or even more identities if necessary! Of course we will not carry them with us at the same time. We are what we carry with us. Man, sometimes we even bring letters from ‘home’ or even photos of our sweethearts!”
As he spoke, Erich took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Qin Chuan. The photo showed a Soviet girl.
Erich also introduced him matter-of-factly: "Her name is Antosha. She is nineteen years old. She is very beautiful, isn't she? After this battle is over, I will go back and marry her. Her parents died in Germany." In the hands of others, I am always asked to kill a few more Germans on the battlefield..."
"Hey, Captain!" These words made the baker feel numb: "If I didn't know your identity, I would have thought you were a Bolshevik!"
"That's why we can survive!" Erich shrugged: "You know, it's always easier to gain their trust if you add a little hatred towards the Germans in your introduction!"
The soldiers couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.
As mentioned before, the German Wehrmacht is a force with a sense of honor and some chivalry, so they believe that the "Brandenburg Unit" is not an aboveboard way of fighting.
Of course, Qin Chuan would not have such a burden, because he knew that this method of combat had been officially brought to the table in modern times and was named "special operations" and was highly regarded.
"Very good, Captain!" Qin Chuan handed the photo back to Erich and praised sincerely: "Your fighting method makes the enemy look like a fool. You are the real braves!"
Erich couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan in surprise, and replied: "I'm glad you said that, Major!"
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "We have disguised ourselves as enemies and sneaked in to fight more than once. We know how much courage it takes. So, salute to you!"
Only then did the surrounding soldiers remember that the First Infantry Regiment had actually done something similar, and they looked at Erich with more understanding.
With the help of the Brandenburg detachment, the next trip went much smoother.
At any time, they can be the safest scouts in the lead.
Sometimes they can even find out how to walk through the minefield easily... The Brandenburg detachment moved along the mountain road as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, several Soviet sentries shouted: "Hey, stop, there is a minefield in front of you." !”
Then Erich cursed loudly in Russian: "Damn it, why didn't anyone tell me there was a minefield here? You almost blew us up!"
"Who knew someone would come here?" the sentry replied: "You should thank us for reminding you!"
"Okay!" Erich replied: "How should we get there now? We still have a mission! Colonel Restov ordered us to report to Chitur tomorrow!"
Time, place, people...the information that Captain Erich casually said all matched, so the Soviet army did not doubt their identities at all, and quickly told them how to get out of the minefield.
Needless to say what will happen next. After Erich and his party walked through the minefield, a few people left behind and pretended to be grateful for getting close to them. The main force continued to walk to the outpost. After everyone was ready, they suddenly attacked... one by one The dangerous area guarded by ten Soviet troops easily fell into the hands of the Germans.
Erich and others even controlled a few officers, extracting the necessary information from their mouths and then getting rid of them.
In addition, the 11th Group Army can also obtain a batch of supplies from the warehouse to supplement itself. Although these supplies are not much, they are very precious in the Caucasus Mountains.
In fact, this will also let Tyulenev's command headquarters hear a little bit of news.
Although these outposts failed to issue warnings of the attack, the outposts and checkpoints did not report to the headquarters for a long time, as if they had disappeared, which still aroused some doubts in the headquarters.
But Tyulenev once again ignored this doubt.
"That should be the fault of the German Brandenburg troops!" Tyulenev said: "Because they didn't even have time to send a telegram warning!"
Brandenburg's troops were already well-known at this time, and Tyulenev was certainly no stranger to them either.
The staff agreed and said, "And it should be the Brandenburg troops operating in the North Caucasus Mountains!"
The staff made such a judgment because there were no problems with the outposts and checkpoints in the southern part of the Caucasus Mountains. Of course, they didn't know... the 11th Army had bypassed this part by climbing rocks.
Therefore, Qiulenev and the staff quickly concluded that the German troops in the Caucasus were just a small scattered force, and they only needed to let other outposts and checkpoints pay attention to defense.
What they didn't expect was that just when they made a rash conclusion and even found a self-proclaimed perfect excuse, the main force of the 11th Army had crossed the Caucasus Mountains and reached the woodland behind Baku.
However, Qin Chuan and others were not in a hurry to go down the mountain, nor were they in a hurry to attack Baku.
Because it was daybreak and it was not suitable to launch a surprise attack.
On the other hand, the 11th Army was exhausted after several days of long-distance trekking and seriously affected its combat effectiveness.
So, they rested in the woods for half a day.
Just wait for the night to fall and continue to advance towards the Baku oil fields they dreamed of.
At this time, the Soviet troops in Baku knew nothing about this.
