Everyone in the team got the information they wanted in the bar as expected and successfully completed the joint work, but Qi Zhen could not see any happiness on her face.
After all, he had made a solid "business" with the other party.
Maybe what the fat boss offered was a fake guarantee of good wine shipped from the UK, but Qi Zhen’s race bag never lacked such things as wine, so he had to use real money and silver to exchange for something he didn’t really like to drink in the first place. Champagne, Qi Zhen's money-obsessed nature was immediately revealed, and she stamped her feet and beat her chest to an extreme degree.
It was now noon, still early than nine o'clock in the evening.
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they cannot disclose their whereabouts to anyone, including Ben, who was originally a teammate.
In fact, with Ben's protection, the team has been living quite well in Caen these days, especially after Paul and Ben met. Although a team of about 500 people was not obvious in Caen, But it is indeed a considerable force.
Apart from anything else, Mark is now able to walk on his own, which proves that he has been resting quite well these days.
However, after Mark told the team the information about the contact point, this good life has officially come to an end.
In eight or nine hours, how a total of ten people can find their own foothold in the heavily defended city of Caen has become something that everyone in the team must consider.
And they can't get together to make a total. After all, they are getting together individually, and the goal is really too big.
Qi Zhen originally proposed that everyone in the team go to the house in the west of the city where he and Wang Jianguo were hiding at the beginning, but Lin Bian objected.
Lin Biao means that it is not appropriate for the team to have any contact with Ben. All the hiding places known to the other party may have been controlled by the Germans. The best way is to hide quietly. It is best that no one knows about the team except himself. where.
Lin Biao was referring to himself here, of course, to the entire team, but Qi Zhen had a sudden idea and asked everyone, would it be possible if everyone dispersed?
Wang Jianguo said it would be easy to break up, but the question is where to hide?
Qi Zhen said that you have forgotten that many houses in Caen City are empty now?
Wang Jianguo slapped his forehead, and everyone in the team suddenly realized.
Now that the decision had been made, everyone dispersed at the door of the bar, looking for shelter left by the refugees who had fled here.
Only Zhang Chi still had to stay with Mark. His leg injury hadn't healed yet, and Zhang Chi had to change his dressing.
In the end, a total of ten people in the team were scattered in nine houses, surrounding the enemy headquarters or the bar within a radius of less than five kilometers.
After entering the house where she was hiding, Qi Zhen couldn't help but lament that war harms people.
It is said that the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering. No matter when it comes, the most suffering people are always the innocent civilians.
The room was very messy, and it was obvious that the owner was panicked when he left here.
There were a lot of clothes and other things like sheets and curtains scattered on the floor in the house, as well as many broken porcelain cups and plates.
It looked like a wealthy family, but Qi Zhen checked inside and out, but found nothing else. The furniture cabinets on the floor seemed to have been moved.
When Qi Zhen entered the door, she saw signs that the door lock had been picked. It seemed that after the owner left, the place had been visited by others, and he had exhausted all his efforts to remove everything that seemed worthwhile. After getting the money and things, he still wanted to move the cabinet away. This person may be a lone ranger and his strength was insufficient, so he just left it where it was without thinking about restoring it to its original state.
In any case, it seems to be relatively safe here, and it can be considered a sheltered place from wind and rain.
If the house is in good order and the house is relatively tidy, even if it is a little messy but there are traces of life, then Qi Zhen will definitely turn around and leave.
Others are in a similar situation, and even the miserable appearance inside the house is similar. Maybe all the families in this area who are fleeing will not be able to avoid being visited by such people.
What makes Qi Zhen feel sad from the bottom of her heart is that the Germans most likely have no interest or time to go to civilians' homes to search for treasures. Moreover, during the war, real money and silver are far more important to them than gasoline and ammunition. .
It is self-evident who did these things.
Their homeland has been invaded by the enemy, and their compatriots are being cruelly and humiliatingly ruled and killed by the enemy, or they are forced to flee their homes and flee. However, these originally oppressed people have turned their evil thoughts towards their compatriots. Home.
What an irony.
Qi Zhen and Mark probably didn't expect that the fat man in the bar actually agreed to Mark's request without any questions. The communication time between the two parties was very short, and the man seemed to respond to every request. It seemed that these things were just a piece of cake for him. .
After thinking about it, Qi Zhen gave up trying to find out more about the other party.
He really wanted to know what kind of powerful force the British had left in the city of Caen, and how they could hide it so cleverly without being discovered by the other party.
But compared to those, extraneous problems are not the optimal solution for the team.
After eating something hastily, Qi Zhen began to wonder about Ben's affairs again. If the Germans could know where everyone in the team was at the first time, it would prove that all Ben's actions were actually carried out under the eyes of the Germans. With.
So when did a spy infiltrate Ben's team?
After reviewing everything that had happened before, Qi Zhen suddenly thought that maybe it was the day when the team broke out in the city. Many of his subordinates stayed near the power plant and water plant to engage in fierce battles with the enemy. However, the enemy might not have planted the nails. Within Ben's team, he used coercion and inducement to instigate one of those people to rebel, and it happened that that person was very close to Ben.
And this may explain why this leader of the rebel army, who has always been decisive in killing, behaved so rudely after hearing that those people did not retreat.
That person must be someone whom Ben cares about very much.
As for what happened next, it was probably because the Germans deliberately did not attack Ben, but wanted to collect enough intelligence on the rebels, and finally struck a thunderous blow to uproot all the resistance in the city of Caen.
After thinking about this, Qi Zhen looked slightly helpless, feeling sorry for Qi Ben's experience. He was tricked into this by his closest comrade. If he knew about it, how would he feel like he was in a state of collapse.
This time, the German army directly removed the stronghold where the team might go, and a gun battle broke out between the two sides. Presumably, Ben's men were damaged again, and Ben might also be affected.
In order to find these people in the squad, the Germans really couldn't bear it.
"I think if there is a chance in the future, we still have to tell Ben the news and let him respond in advance."
While Qi Zhen shared her guess with everyone on the intercom, she opened a gap in the curtains and watched the situation on the street outside.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but once the connection between them and Ben was interrupted, there were obviously fewer German soldiers coming and going on the street, which finally allowed everyone to have a rare and comfortable breathing time.
No one likes to always feel like there is a ray of light on their back, as if a hawk is staring at their back. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being remembered. Qi Zhen does not want to be remembered by others all the time.
But in fact, just as the team was hiding in the city of Caen and waiting for dark, the city began the final work of clearing away the remnants of the armed forces in the city!
Why does Qi Zhen feel that there are fewer Germans on the street? That's because they all went after the rebels!
After two consecutive misses, the intimidating Germans finally lost their last patience and began to rush towards the rebel stronghold from all directions in the city based on the intelligence they had obtained!
Countless ordinary people were dispersed, screaming and running away. Clear gunshots began to ring out from all over the city. I wonder who the German commander was this time. He could actually shoot at the same time with such thunderous precision. Launch an attack on all strongholds!
There is no doubt that Ben, as the leader of the resistance in the city, naturally received "extra care" from the Germans. Countless German soldiers rushed into the house where he was resting and pinned Ben on the bed after he finally had a chance to take a nap. And this At that time, the machine next to his pillow was still loaded, but he never had the chance to pick it up and fight the enemy to the death.
Bang!
Two crisp sounds.
In Ben's muffled groan, both of his arms were broken simultaneously, and he lost the last possibility of committing suicide and unlatching the grenade in his arms.
With the enemy's intelligence, the Germans were surprisingly powerful in terms of efficiency and accuracy. Almost at the same time, they smashed the resistance hidden in the city of Caen!
Of course, there is still one thing that is different.
There are nearly three hundred people on Paul's side. Since these people are not all residents of Caen, some are detained from villages and towns several kilometers around. This means that although Ben and Paul are familiar with each other, However, most of the prisoners in those concentration camps took orders from Paul rather than Ben.
As a result, the German army did not locate the movements of these people very accurately. The intelligence only showed a location, saying that most of the rebels were gathered here. It is estimated that the person who delivered the intelligence did not obtain Paul's details. information.
This location is in an abandoned warehouse in the west of the city, only one kilometer away from the bombed chemical plant.
By chance, this is where Qi Zhen and Wang Jianguo instigated the explosion of the chemical plant.
