I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 93: First Entering the Tiger's Den

When the truck entered the heavily guarded defense zone of the German Ninth Army Headquarters, the German military police stationed at the outer checkpoints were immediately needed.

Fortunately, Lin Chen and others had complete procedures and a pass issued by the Imperial Division, so after verification by the military police, they were able to pass successfully.

Even when they saw the truck covered with blood and bullet holes, they couldn't help but respect Lin Chen and the others, and took the initiative to hand over half a box of cigarettes, intending to comfort these "poor guys" who survived the disaster.

"Is the road difficult to walk on?"

"Indeed, many of us were killed, but fortunately the mission was accomplished!" Lin Chen passed the cigarette to the back carriage through the small hole behind him, and then asked the military police for directions with lingering fear, "Where is Lieutenant Colonel Sprantz?"

"Looking for him? He's the deputy director of the Army Group Intelligence Department. Drive straight along this road, pass a church, and then turn right. There is a red three-story building. He is there! You can ask the guard in which office you want to know."

"Thank you, and wish you good luck!" Lin Chen thanked the military police very politely.

The truck continued to move forward, and when it arrived at the red building mentioned by the gendarmes, the security became noticeably tighter.

Downstairs, after informing the guards of the situation, all their weapons were confiscated. After waiting for more than an hour, a non-commissioned officer came out, saluted Lin Chen, and led him into an office on the east side of the second floor.

Seeing that the other party was wearing the uniform of an SS lieutenant colonel, Lin Chen immediately saluted.

Report loudly, "Boll (Lin Chen's name on the ID) of the 23rd Company, 216nd Battalion, 533rd Regiment, 2th Infantry Division, 3rd Army, nd Group Army, is escorting two prisoners here under the order of Major Hummels of the nd Armored Regiment of the Imperial Division. The mission has been completed. Please give your instructions!"

Lieutenant Colonel Sprantz held the pass issued by the Imperial Division in his hand and stared at Lin Chen for a long time before asking meaningfully, "Did you have a smooth journey here?"

Lin Chen was shocked. He knew that the other party would never show concern for him, so after a little thought, he reported his situation on the road in detail, except that his car was in front and the security guard's car was behind when they set out.

"How did you get through their minefield?" Sprantz asked the key question.

"Maybe it's just good luck. I think God must be on the side of us Germans." Lin Chen's answer was flawless.

At this time, a lieutenant walked in from outside the door, smiled at Lin Chen, then walked closer to Sprantz and whispered something.

Lin Chen guessed that they had checked with the officers and soldiers of the security division to prove the truth of what Lin Chen said.

Sure enough, after listening to what Splanz said, his attitude towards Lin Chen became much kinder. "Lieutenant Boll, you've worked hard. You can take your men down to rest."

"That prisoner?" Lin Chen pretended to be puzzled.

"Just hand it over, and someone will come to pick him up later." Lieutenant Colonel Sprantz replied coldly.

"Okay, but Major Hummels asked me to go back after completing the task." Lin Chen looked timid.

"You are the glorious Wehrmacht, not the SS! You must always remember your duties!"

"Do we need to ask our infantry division headquarters for instructions?" Lin Chen asked deliberately.

Sprantz waved his hand dismissively. "No need. You are one of us. I don't know why you led your troops here, but since you are all part of the Central Army Group, you can be directly incorporated into the combat unit! Many of our troops are not yet fully staffed."

"Then don't we need any formalities? What if the division blames us?" "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!" Although Lieutenant Colonel Sprantz was not clear about the exact time of the attack, he knew that this unprecedented offensive was not far away. "Ants" like Boll would definitely become cannon fodder. Who would he need to explain anything to then?
Since the other party had already made the promise in person, Lin Chen naturally had no reason to stay any longer. After he walked out of Lieutenant Colonel Sprantz's office, he gently closed the door.

Most of the other offices were closed, so he could only glance around with his peripheral vision and discovered that the office of the director of intelligence was right next to him, and the door seemed to be ajar.

Taking two steps closer, he glanced through the crack in the door and saw that there seemed to be no one inside.

Human instinct made him want to go in, but if he really did that, he would be seeking death.

So he immediately moved away to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion.

No matter how well he planned, he didn't expect that a German officer from the third floor would see him. This person was none other than the intelligence chief Roland. He was different from other German officers and did not like to wear leather boots or shoes. Instead, he liked to wear Chinese cloth shoes in informal occasions.

It is said that there was a Chinese maid in his house who made him feel the charm of oriental cloth shoes by chance and he couldn't put them down.

Because although the German army's leather boots are very beautiful and durable, they have a huge disadvantage, that is, they are airtight and have very poor breathability!
Of course it is a good thing if it is winter, but it will be a suffering when the weather turns warmer.

Many people in the German army suffered from severe athlete's foot, and Roland was no exception. But since he put on these magical cloth shoes, his athlete's foot has improved significantly.

Because he was wearing cloth shoes, he walked so lightly that he made almost no sound, which made Lin Chen ignore Colonel Roland who was hiding upstairs and watching him.

After Lin Chen left, he immediately walked to Sprantz's office.
When Sprantz saw that it was Roland, he immediately stood up and saluted.
Roland smiled and asked, "Who just left your place?"

"Are you talking about Lieutenant Boll?" Sprantz was very surprised. Their intelligence department was the eyes and ears of the army group. He didn't understand why Director Roland would be interested in a small lieutenant of the Wehrmacht.

But Roland was his superior, so he immediately explained in detail the whole story of Lin Chen's coming here.

After he finished speaking, he asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Director? Is there something wrong with this person?"

"No, I'm just asking."

Roland then answered and left with a smile.

Of course, he was not asking casually. The officers in the Wehrmacht were very afraid of the people in their Intelligence Department. Although they were not like the Gestapo who arrested people at will, the people in the Intelligence Department had the power to investigate all suspicious people and incidents. The reason was very simple: everything was for the purpose of obtaining intelligence!
Just now, the chief of staff of the headquarters, Lieutenant General Krebs, urgently called him upstairs because the offensive order in the Kursk area was postponed again. This was not the first time it was postponed (the instigator this time was that Lin Chen and his team intercepted the order to reinforce the bridge, resulting in a lot of new equipment failing to arrive on schedule).

So Roland hurriedly left the door half-closed.

However, Lieutenant Boll, as mentioned by Sprantz, seemed to be interested in his own office, which was extremely abnormal.
