The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1187

Facts have proved that Manstein’s method is indeed a good one.

The people of Mao Xiong are tough, and they have experienced too many wars before, so the stock of weapons in the civilian population remains high.

During the Red Bear period, a large number of militia organizations appeared in the country, which further increased their gun holdings.

Moreover, although the militiamen who have received military training are not as effective as regular troops, they are much stronger than ordinary people who have never touched a gun and have not been trained.

This makes this group of armed Mao Xiong people a serious threat to the rule of the German army.

Therefore, no matter what, all the weapons in the hands of the opponent must be confiscated.

After Starling led the Soviet army to retreat, the regular army around Mao Xiong had disappeared, which gave the German army a relatively relaxed external environment to deal with these problems in Moscow.

If this opportunity is not seized quickly, as the German army moves eastward in the future, they may never be able to concentrate so many troops to solve this matter.

So, with the attitude of not missing the opportunity, the German army moved quickly.

After the order was issued, the German armored forces entered the city of Moscow that night.

The next morning, the residents of Moscow were horrified to find that a large number of German troops with live ammunition appeared in the streets.

These troops blocked the roads, controlled the key intersections, piled sandbags on the streets, set up machine guns, and even tanks and armored vehicles appeared in some open areas.

This kind of battle frightened the bears in Moscow!

They didn’t know what the Germans wanted to do, so they began to think wildly.

Many people were horrified to think that the Germans were going to carry out a comprehensive massacre on them, otherwise, why did they send out so many troops overnight? It doesn’t take so many troops to maintain public order in the city.

And this terrible idea spread quickly among the crowd like a virus.

The most feared are the Soviet soldiers and rebels who are lurking.

They are more afraid than ordinary bears because they think that the Germans’ actions are aimed at them!

“Damn it, our whereabouts have been exposed, let’s rush out and fight them!”

“Yes, let’s fight. If you think that sitting and waiting to die is death, and rushing out to fight the enemy is also death, then it is better to rush out and fight the enemy!”

In the face of the huge military pressure from the German army, these people couldn’t hold their temper. After a clamor from each other, led by one of them, a group of people rushed out with a passion.

Da da da!

What greeted them was the tongues of fire sprayed from the German general-purpose machine guns.

If these people did some sabotage and assassination, they might be a threat to the German army.

But if they rushed out directly to fight the German army like this, it would be pure suicide.

A group of rabble without heavy weapons and almost scared to death, asking them to fight against a regular army armed to the teeth, this is really too difficult for them!

However, this group of people rushed up rashly to die, but it showed the other bears the powerful military force of the German army.

As a result, the remaining bears immediately realized that they were powerless to resist. If they do not, they will not have any chance.

The German army has already mobilized two army groups, with more than 700,000 troops entering the city, and the total population of Moscow at this time is probably less than 2 million, and most of them are women, children and the elderly. In this case, the number of their young and middle-aged people is even less than that of the German army. How can they win?

Therefore, the Russians chose to leave it to fate. If the German army really wanted to attack them, they would be powerless.

Fortunately, the German army just wanted to show its powerful military force and did not mean to let them panic all the time.

Soon, armored vehicles with loudspeakers began to drive on the streets.

These armored vehicles were accompanied by Russian-speaking translators. They read out the German army’s policies and told the Russian residents that the German army was about to attack the entire city. They will conduct a carpet search of the entire city, and even if they have to dig deep into the ground, they will find out the weapons they have hidden.

If they can voluntarily hand over their weapons before the German army takes action, they will be forgiven, and the German army will not hold them accountable.

But if they are still hiding weapons when the German army finds them, they must accept severe punishment.

During the search, if they dare to resist with force, they will be shot directly!

After the announcement of these news, the Russians were relieved.

It turned out that they were going to continue to confiscate the weapons, not to kill them all!

After understanding the intentions of the German army, these Russians were finally not so worried.

However, those who held weapons began to feel conflicted again.

The German army should not be joking with them by mobilizing such a large force. Yes, the other party is likely to conduct a careful search.

If you hide your weapons, once they are discovered, it is very likely that the whole family will be implicated.

But if you hand over your weapons, they will completely lose the power to resist.

It is for this reason that these people were reluctant to hand over their weapons before.

But now, after feeling the attitude of the German army, these people’s minds began to waver.

Many people feel that there is no need to take risks, and even if they have guns, they can’t do anything.

Even the regular army has been defeated. Can they drive out the invaders with the gun in their hands?

So, compared with before, this time, many more people chose to hand over their weapons.

In the afternoon, when the broadcast stopped, there were already many guns and bullets secretly thrown out by the bears on the street.

The German soldiers quickly cleaned up these things.

However, even so, there must be fish that slipped through the net.

So, Manstein personally ordered that the carpet search operation officially began!

Fifty thousand German troops began to enter the area marked as Area A according to the previously divided areas.

There are not many residents here, only about 40,000 to 50,000 people. The German soldiers, fully armed with search dogs and metal detectors, began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the homes of these bears.

The land in the city is naturally much narrower than outside. Except for the residents on the first floor who have the opportunity to touch the ground, the space for residents on the second floor and above is relatively narrow.

Therefore, the workload of the German army is not very large.

Although it is said that they have to dig three feet into the ground, it is not necessary to do so when they actually take action.

“”Woof woof!”

The search dog with a keen sense of smell quickly smelled the scent of weapons, and then barked at a corner.

The owner of the house saw this and his face changed drastically. He wanted to resist but was quickly pinned to the ground and tied up by the alert German soldiers.

Several soldiers walked over and knocked on the wall. In the wall compartment, they found a pistol and a rifle, plus a bag of bullets, estimated to be more than 100 rounds.

The soldier in charge of registration quickly wrote down the other party’s name and the seized goods on the document, and then asked the soldier to take the man to the guard area in the rear to wait for disposal.

These people in Area A are the chickens that are killed to stop the monkeys, so their end is destined not to be too good!
