Chapter 2619
Germany launched a total of 1.5 V1 rockets and 2 V[-] rockets to the UK.

There are dozens of V-series rockets that have not exploded in the UK, so V2 rockets are no secret to southern Africa, let alone those defective and semi-finished products.

This is not a von Braun problem.

Germany's support for von Braun is limited. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for von Braun to research V-series rockets to this extent.

Southern Africa can give von Braun greater support, provided that von Braun is rescued first.

"The German army in the three villages combined has only one company. The leader of the team, Colonel Müller, was from the SS. He is a very brutal man. A few days ago, several German soldiers tried to escape, but were shot by Colonel Müller." Recalling the scene at that time, Leigh shuddered.

After the Russian army invaded the German mainland, researchers at the Peenemünde base were also organized to receive four hours of street fighting training every day.

Until then, the war had little to do with the researchers, whose sole mission was to improve the V-series rockets.

After leaving the Peenemünde base, the researchers fled all the way, did not encounter the Allied forces, and lacked sufficient understanding of the war.

So when Colonel Muller shot deserters, the shock to the researchers was very real.

"Then we have to be careful not to alert the guards—" Major Marley immediately changed his plan, and entered the mountain with such a big fanfare, which would definitely alert the Germans.

"I know a path that leads directly to the village where the professor lives."

That's fine.

Marly got everyone out of the car, carefully selected dozens of combatants, took a small path to covertly enter the mountain, and prepared to use the night to go to the village where von Braun was located.

As long as von Braun is found, more than half of the task is completed.

As for Colonel Muller.

Marley didn't care at all.

The SS was originally the private guard of Mustache. Before the outbreak of World War II, the main combat force was only four regiments.

After the outbreak of World War II, the SS expanded rapidly. At its peak, there were 39 divisions with nearly a million people, including 16 armored divisions and motorized infantry divisions. In the later stages of the war, in order to make up for the shortage of German troops, foreign combatants began to be recruited.

Compared with combat effectiveness, the thinking of the SS is more influenced by the mustache, the will to fight is more tenacious, and the resistance is more thorough.

Interestingly, foreign soldiers in the SS were more stubborn in thinking and braver in combat than Germans.

The Peenemünde base is one of the most important research and development bases in Germany. The SS in charge of security work is all composed of Germans, which is why some people fled voluntarily.

After confirming the identity of the SS, Marley didn't take the defenders seriously.

The use of the SS as a guard of honor is indeed quite bluffing.

Combat power——

Anyway, it is completely incomparable with the southern African field forces.

As Marly and Billy waited for dark, von Braun was restless.

Today the scientists did not come to von Braun's room to listen to the news. Walter and Müller came to von Braun to discuss the next plan.

The R&D team came to the Alps not for a skiing vacation, but for work. According to the previous plan, the R&D team will continue to conduct research on the V-series rockets in the Alps.

The plan could not keep up with the changes, and the R&D team was streamlined in the Harz Mountains, and all the materials were buried in the coal mines of the Harz Mountains, which also made the research work impossible.

"Let's wait until the situation stabilizes. Now the researchers are not in the mood to work." Von Braun was delaying the time, procrastinating and procrastinating that the Third Reich would cease to exist, and naturally no one would care about their useless efforts. A useful scholar.

Smart people know that after the end of this world war, Germany will be sanctioned more severely than in the last world war. What use will rockets be then?
Researching rockets is a very professional job. Most of these scientists are over [-] years old and have spent most of their lives researching rockets. It is not realistic for them to change careers. In other words, they will all lose their jobs after the war.

"Doctor, we haven't failed yet, we should continue to work." Colonel Muller's face was ugly, and he felt guilty hearing what he said.

Von Braun held up his plastered arm in gesture, with a wry smile.

You see my arm is broken like this, I can't move even if I want to work.

"We'll talk about the work later. The more important issue now is that the supplies we're carrying are about to run out—" Walter frowned, and asked people to work, so they must be fed first.

When the R&D team entered the mountain, they didn't bring many living supplies, and hundreds of people ate and drank, which made Walter almost turn gray.

The mountain people here are not rich, and the land in the mountains is scarce, and most of the mountain people rely on grazing for a living, and their lives are tight, barely making ends meet.

Relying on the purchase of living materials from mountain people's homes, the R&D team can support it for a while.

When the livestock in the mountain people's homes are exhausted, everyone will have to go to the mountains to dig mice.

"It's really not possible, we can streamline the personnel again—" Colonel Mueller was cruel.

The last streamlining was to keep all unimportant personnel in Harz Mountain and let them fend for themselves.

Now that the R&D team has entered the Alps, how can it be reduced if it is streamlined?
Thinking of the scene where Müller shot deserters a few days ago, von Braun was terrified.

"No, we must not do that." Von Braun was determined.

"Are you kidding?" Walter also frowned, and he would not allow Mueller to point his gun at the researchers.

Muller's execution of deserters was ordered by Mustache and within his authority.

Walter is the director of the Peenemünde base. Although he still has an identity as a German artillery lieutenant general, he is still a civilian after all.

"Of course not, all those who betray the country must die!" Mueller was already crazy. Not only did he want to die for the country, but he also wanted to drag everyone to die together.

"I absolutely don't agree with you doing this. We can mobilize everyone to find supplies and try our best to tide over the difficulties." Walter is not crazy, he is still sane.

"Don't you have guns? You can use them to hunt—" Von Braun was dissatisfied with Colonel Muller's brutality.

Soldiers must eat more food than scientific researchers, and consume more supplies.

The SS soldiers under Muller were not only pampered, but also high above them. It was impossible for them to be self-reliant.

"Impossible, our ammunition is limited." Mueller didn't want to waste ammunition, the gun was out of bullets, it was a fire stick.

"Then when are you going to use your ammunition?" Von Braun and Walter had the same position, which gave von Braun some confidence.

Mueller grinned and said nothing.

If the Allied forces approach, the SS will probably not be able to defeat them.

Therefore, most of the weapons of the SS are used against researchers.

Having figured this out, von Braun no longer had any expectations of Müller.

Mueller had a heavy task, and had to check the defense before dark, so he left early.

Walter didn't go, but he wasn't in the mood to talk either. Both he and von Braun were very sad.

"Staying here is waiting to die. We have to find a way." Von Braun hoped to get Walter's support.

If there is Walter's support, then von Braun has the confidence to withstand Muller and wait for the support of the Allied forces.

"What can we do now—" Walter's face was gray and defeated. He was still not the same as von Braun. Walter would not surrender until he was cornered.

Of course, Walter is not willing to die for his country.

Before von Braun could speak, the sound of dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Müller went back and forth, leading several SS soldiers with guns and live ammunition in a menacing manner.

"One of your people is missing!" Muller roughly opened the door and asked von Braun directly: "Where did Keith Billy go?"

"I still need an operation on my arm, and Billy is going to help me make an appointment with the doctor." Von Braun had already planned.

Von Braun's injury was serious, with comminuted fractures in his shoulder and arm, he was unable to fully recover from one operation and needed a second operation.

"Why didn't you report it?" Mueller asked sharply, and he would never allow anyone to take the initiative to lose sight.

Now there is chaos everywhere, and there are allied forces everywhere outside the mountain. If Billy went to the doctor, it would be okay, but what if he went to the allied army?

"I made an appointment with the doctor, you know about it—" Von Braun pretended to be surprised.

Müller did know this, and Müller had found the doctor for von Braun.

"Why don't you let my people go to a doctor?" Mueller yelled, he keenly felt that things were not that simple.

According to regulations, this kind of matter must be reported and then handed over to Mueller's subordinates.

This is also very necessary. After all, the Alps are not so safe. If you are alone in the wild, if you are attacked by a wild animal, it is really not good.

Even if the SS army has lost its gold and jade, its ability to deal with danger is better than that of scientists who spend all day in the laboratory.

"Is the person who reported it to you useful? I can't order the noble SS." Von Braun took the opportunity to be weird.

"Very good, send someone to find him and bring him back to me!" Mueller glared at von Braun, and when he was brought back, Muller would make von Braun look good.

Von Braun was tough on the surface, but panicked.

It would be nice if Billy found allies.

In the event of an accident, von Braun would have no chance of escape.

After Muller finished his harsh words and led the people away, he did not forget to leave two guards in front of von Braun's gate.

This is what house arrest means.

Considering that von Braun was injured before, Muller did not provide special protection for von Braun.

"Calm down, be more careful—" Walter seemed to realize something, and told von Braun carefully before leaving.

Von Braun did not speak, the only thing he could do now was pray.

Marly was still very efficient. After nightfall, he led the carefully selected soldiers of the expeditionary force and marched along the path to the village where von Braun was located, without encountering any accidents along the way.

This is also normal.

It’s not that Muller is careless, it’s really a wild country, and the Allied Forces don’t care about these backcountry places, so Mueller’s pressure comes from within the R&D team, and the external pressure is really not great.

Strictly speaking, the threat of wild beasts is greater than that of the Allies.

Therefore, the guns of the SS are directed at the inside, not at all.

Such things as long-distance raids are commonplace for the Southern African Expeditionary Force. The armed cross-country of the field troops is just an appetizer. Even though the troops have been mechanized, they have not relaxed their training in this area.

In the final analysis, war is still about people. No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, the basic quality of the officers and soldiers must still be guaranteed. Southern Africa is not only good at clearing the ground with firepower, but also can fight vigorously when weapons and equipment are not dominant.

A small team of dozens of people, the goal is not big, less than 10 minutes after departure, there are still accidents.

It's not the expeditionary force's problem, it's Billy.

In the research team, as a young man, Billy has relatively good physical fitness.

However, compared with the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force who were struggling in muddy water all day long, Billy's physical fitness was still far behind.

Looking at Billy, who was slumped on the ground and panting, Marly frowned.

This young man's physical fitness is not good, it's too bad!
The officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force were still fully armed. A set of equipment weighed [-] to [-] kilograms, and all of them marched with heavy loads.

Billy still travels lightly.

"Drink some water, drink slowly, don't worry—" Marley had to bear it even if he was impatient, without Billy leading the way, Marley and the others were headless chickens in the mountains.

"Let's go, I can—" Billy took two sips of water, took the opportunity to take a few breaths, and stood up propped up.

Start again, this time at a much slower speed.

An hour later, under the guidance of Billy, Marley and the commandos finally came to the village where von Braun was located.

The village is not big, with more than a dozen houses scattered on a hillside, and six trucks are parked beside them. The truck is a temporary residence for the SS.

To say that Mueller was good to the members of the research and development team, at least he didn't let the scientists crowd the truck.

Of course, this is also more conducive to Mueller to assemble troops at a faster speed.

"The professor lives in the house in the center. Be careful when you go there. There are dogs—" Billy was cautious. The dogs here were either military dogs or common house dogs.

But it's hard to say how effective the watchdog can be now, because there are too many strangers in the village now, if they hear something and warn the police, it will probably take them all night.

"Your task has been completed, and the next job is left to me." Marley actually wore a night vision goggle on his face.

Although Germany also has night vision goggles, but the number is scarce, at least Muller's men do not have equipment.

Almost everyone on Marli's side has one night vision device, especially a few precision shooters. The night vision devices equipped are the latest model, with better and clearer vision.

It is not true to say that weapons and equipment are not important. When the gap is so large, it is a proper crushing situation, and there is no suspense at all.

Marley observed carefully for a long time, and there seemed to be only six sentries in the entire village, and there was not a single mobile sentry.

That's pretty slack too.
