In the winter of 1940, German fascists conquered Britain in one fell swoop and carried out indiscriminate bombings of dozens of large cities including London for dozens of days and nights. In air combat, the Luftwaffe used an advanced "Knick Bein" radio device to enable German bombers to accurately hit targets on the ground or in the air regardless of whether it was cloudy, foggy or dark. However, the use of newly developed jamming devices by the United Kingdom made the new German inventions useless. Science and technology are becoming increasingly important in wars. Therefore, while the two countries were fighting fiercely in the air, they also launched a secret war to compete for scientists and to develop new inventions.
One night, the Royal Air Force Captain Kahn Badr drove his night fighter after shooting down a German bomber and successfully returned to the headquarters of the Special Operations Squadron. This squadron, directly under the Royal Air Force Command, specializes in special tasks such as night cruises, escorting important figures, transporting airborne troops, and sneak attacks on important targets of the enemy. Performing these tasks requires extraordinary skill, courage and resourcefulness. Therefore, those lucky enough to be selected are almost all excellent ace pilots.
Kahn was called into his office by Squadron Captain Colonel Bedford as soon as he landed. The colonel closed the door, closed the curtains, and looked around cautiously. Kahn knew he was going to accept a secret mission again today.
Sure enough, after the colonel emphasized the importance of new weapons, new inventions, and the scientists who invented these weapons in the war, he told him an amazing news: "In the past few days, we have a dozen of the most talented scientists. They are missing. They may have been assassinated or kidnapped. Obviously, this is a big conspiracy by German fascists targeting British scientists. The Nazis are active under our noses." Then the colonel said seriously. He confessed the task: "We have to get ahead of them and protect a group of outstanding scientists. Professor Bassett is our most talented radar researcher. He is working on a portable radar that can be mounted on an airplane. Tomorrow. You go to his house at 9 o'clock in the evening, take him to the airport of our squadron in a car, and then you fly him to a secret location in the Scottish Highlands. The government has established a new weapons test station there. Leave him from Bassett You are responsible for his safety until he arrives at his destination." Kahn asked a little worried: "But what if something happens to him between now and tomorrow night at 9 o'clock?" The colonel said without hesitation: " Don't worry about this, the security guards have been guarding his house these days, until he is handed over to you, they are considered to complete the task." Kahn happily accepted the secret mission.
In the evening of the next day, a friend, Captain Jokane, went to watch a wonderful boxing match. Although Kahn is a boxing fan, he has not forgotten his mission. He tweeted that he had something important at 9 pm and couldn't go to the boxing match. My friend said it was okay. Just leave the boxing ring at 8:30 in the evening. Kahn thought for a while and agreed.
The boxing match was really exciting. When Kahn left the boxing ring reluctantly, it was already 8:40. He drove fast on the highway. Professor Bassett’s villa is connected to an attached private laboratory in a quiet place outside London. Kahn turned the car into the gate and drove to the house to stop, just two minutes past 9 o'clock.
He jumped out of the car, ran up the steps, and thought triumphantly: "I did a beautiful job. The boxing match and the secret mission are correct." An officer in military uniform heard the bell and opened the door.
Kahn yelled out of breath, "My name is Badr. I think you are waiting?" The man glanced at him and said, "Of course. Come here." Kahn followed the officer into the house. The officer opened the door and said, "Please come in, Mr. Badr." Kahn walked in and found two men in military uniforms holding pistols pointing at him. He was taken aback and just about to exit the door. The officer he came in had blocked his retreat, also holding a gun in his hand.
Captain Kahn said angrily, "Where did you get Professor Bassett?" The officer sneered and said, "You don't want to act, Mr. Nazi!" "Nazi?" Kahn took a breath. "Are you crazy? I'm not a Nazi, I'm Air Force Captain Badr, I have a certificate!" The officer interrupted him: "We don't need to look at the certificate. Because the real Captain Badr arrived here at 9 to 3 minutes. He is now sending Bassett to a safe place where you Germans can't catch him!" Kahn couldn't help but groan secretly: Bassett was taken away by an imposter, and he must try to rescue him immediately! But I was mistakenly identified by these security officers as Nazi spies and couldn't get away. What should I do? He had an idea, and said to the officer: "I said I am Badr. You don’t believe me. You think that the person who came just now is real. Then, he must have brought Basset to the airport. You can call and ask Bei. Colonel Deford confirmed." The officer and his companion discussed and agreed. They talked to Bedford and learned that Bassett hadn't arrived at the airport, so they told the colonel what was happening here and asked the colonel to identify it in person.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the colonel rushed here. He saw Kahn harshly and asked: "Badr, where is Professor Bassett now?" Kahn said guiltily, "I was two minutes late and the professor was replaced by an imposter. The man was kidnapped and gone. Now I have to hurry up to chase him.” The security officer knew that he had made a mistake and had a heavy responsibility.
But it was too late. Bassett is missing. Since getting into a car parked outside his house, he has disappeared without a trace.
The colonel said angrily: "We have lost another of our best scientists. This is terrible, I don't know who the next victim is?" Kahn thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I have an idea! Bassett has. A young assistant named Marvel, whose research work is indispensable for the professor. At a banquet, I met him and everyone said that we are very similar. I think he might be the next target of the German kidnapping. We might as well transfer him. Go to a safe place and let me replace him and wait for the Germans at his house. This may be the only way to smash the Nazi conspiracy.” Bedford knew that it was dangerous for Kahn to do so, but again There is no other way but to agree.
The plan was immediately implemented. Marvel was secretly transferred away, and Kahn moved into his home. Marvel's butler and servants were also sent away, and Corporal Tomkins was temporarily taken care of. Kahn wore a white coat and spent time in Marvel's laboratory.
The first day passed, and nothing happened. The phone rang the next afternoon. Kahn grabbed the phone and asked in a voice: "Professor Marvel? This is the security department of the Air Force Department. We found that you are in danger of life and must be moved to a safe place tonight. Please pack up and prepare to leave." Card En agreed and hung up the phone. After a few minutes, he picked up the phone and reported the incident to the colonel. The colonel said, "Of course this notice is false. The Nazis are about to kidnap you. I will immediately arrange for someone to lie in ambush around your house and capture the person who picks you up. Kahn disagreed. He pleaded: "In order to find out the whereabouts of Bassett and other scientists, the only way is to conduct another special operation to rescue the kidnapped scientist. Let the Nazis take me away." Ford objected: "It's too dangerous." Kahn added: "I can keep Tomkins, he will contact you as soon as I am taken away, you can secretly follow. In case they get rid of Follow up, I will try to get in touch with you, or send out the Morse code we usually use." Tomkins who stood by listened to it but disagreed. He insisted that two people are better than one. Even if Kahn reaches the German lair, he needs an assistant. He should be with Kahn, let the Germans take away, and jointly complete the mission of rescuing the scientists!
After what they said, the colonel agreed. At 10 o'clock that night, the doorbell of Marvel's house rang, and Tomkins let a young man in a Royal Air Force uniform who had jumped out of the car into the laboratory.
The visitor said politely: "Professor Marvel, I am Captain Badr, and I have been ordered to pick you up." Kahn said calmly: "I have been waiting for you, the purse is packed. Where did you take me? Go?" The self-proclaimed Badr "hush" and said, "This is a secret. Don't tell anyone-it's a government research station in a remote part of Wales." Kahn picked up his purse and pretended to tell Tomkins to look after his home. , And Tomkins pretended to insist on going with him, Kahn agreed with helplessly.
The three got into the car, and the driver drove the car without a word. Along the way, Kahn tried his best to identify the route they were walking, but it was too dark to see clearly. The car turned on a rugged road, bumped for about a few kilometers, and stopped. Kahn poked his head out of the car, stunned. They are parked next to a twin-engine airplane. He protested loudly: "This is not an airport!" His escort explained: "Our actions must be strictly confidential. We cannot use ordinary airports. Please go on, Professor." As soon as they got on the plane, the plane took off immediately. Soon after climbing to the top of the clouds, the lights on the ground were out of sight. However, Kahn relied on his rich flying experience, and from the aircraft's instruments and the stars in the sky, it could be judged that the aircraft did not fly to Wales, but to the opposite place. About 20 minutes later, Kahn understood that the plane had flown over the English Channel.
The plane began to land. Kahn thought to himself that they were going to land in the German-occupied area of France, and the Nazis who kidnapped him should show their true colors. But after the plane landed, the escort said to him kindly: "Professor, please get in that car." Kahn was surprised to see that the man who drove the car to the runway to meet him was also wearing an air force. A person wearing a military uniform and an epaulette of the Royal Air Force.
The car passed through a garden and drove to a large mansion surrounded by military camps. Using the lights of the car, Kahn discovered that the road signs at the intersection were written in English: "To the commissary", "Military Supplies Department", "Military Commander's Office" and so on. When the car drove to the barricade of a checkpoint, the sentry ran over and raised the barricade. Kahn saw a sign hanging on the barricade: "Only civilian researchers are allowed in, soldiers stop." At this time, Kahn was a little confused. How could there be a British military camp in an enemy-occupied area? Did you make a mistake in your own judgment? Didn't the plane cross the strait? Impossible, I can see the instruments on the plane clearly.
The fake captain led him and Tomkins into a house. He walked into the office and saw English books on the shelves, an English calendar on the wall, a box of British brand-name cigarettes on the desk, and a few pencils with the words "Royal Document Publishing Bureau" beside it. Everything is truly British, and even the smile of the colonel who stood up to greet Kahn reflects the typical British gentleman's demeanor.
The colonel said with enthusiasm: "Welcome, Professor Marvel, my name is Johnson. I am responsible for taking care of you. You will surely live a happy life here. This research station is established by the government and is mainly used to make the outstanding scientists of our country. Work together so that it is safe and productive. The laboratory is at your disposal. Materials and equipment are at your disposal, but because of the high level of confidentiality, you cannot write or call." Kahn just wanted to talk, and another person left. Enter the room. The colonel greeted him happily: "Ah, Bassett, how is the work going?" Bassett! Kahn was shocked: He was the scientist he wanted to rescue, but only this person would know that I was not Professor Marvel. What if he exposes me?
Bassett said excitedly: "The work is progressing very quickly. I will prepare for the final test in a few days." The colonel nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. I have to tell you a good news. Your old partner, Mr. Marvel, will also come Now." Kahn's nerves were almost broken. But he quickly regained his senses and rushed forward pretending to be happy.
"Bassett, dear buddy, it's nice to meet you." He saw Bassett's eyebrows raised in surprise, and opened his mouth to say something. He quickly grabbed the professor's hand and shook it, and squeezed it vigorously, and said softly: "Don't betray me." Then he said loudly, "I can't wait, I must come back to you, you Where is his laboratory?" Colonel Johnson interjected: "Bassett, you take him to see, the first-class instruments in the laboratory will make him fall in love with him." Bassett led Kahn to a room full of them. Radio equipment studio. He closed the door nervously and said to Kahn: "Young man, you should talk now, why are you dressing up my assistant?" Kahn didn't answer. He just asked, "You have to tell me, where do you think you are now?" The old professor said angrily, "This is a secret, but I can tell you this is in North Wales." Kahn shook his head: "No, you are in the German-occupied area of France! This so-called research station is operated by Germans!" The scientist was shocked, and said repeatedly: "This is impossible! This is impossible!" At this moment, the other side of the studio The door opened, and an assistant in a white coat walked in with an instrument.
Captain Kahn asked in a low voice, "Who is this person? How long has he been your assistant?" The old professor said, "He was assigned to me as soon as I got here. He is a capable person." Kahn Pretending to check some instrument on the side, then call the assistant: "Hey, please measure the voltage of these terminals." The man picked up a multimeter and measured it. Suddenly, Kahn yelled to him in German: "You got it wrong!" The guy was unprepared, and he blurted out and replied in German: "I don't understand what you mean..." He stopped immediately and found out in frustration. Trap, spoke German! Bassett heard it next to him, and shouted in surprise, "Who are you?" Kahn said sharply, "Professor, you should understand now? This person is responsible for monitoring you, and everything you do here. Research work is used to serve the interests of the Germans!" The Nazi became angry, and suddenly roared, and drew a pistol from his white coat.
"Raise your hand!" he shouted fiercely, "I want to take you to the colonel. You will be shot! You now know our secret, it's too dangerous." The captain looked contemptuously. Looking at the poor clown, he laughed and said, "Keep the gun away! No one will be shot except you! If you betray us, you have to admit that you missed your mouth, you know what it means!" The Nazis suddenly turned pale, and knelt on the ground with a plop, begging: "I beg you not to report my affairs to the colonel. I will try my best to do what you want." Professor Bassett thought for a while and asked:" Yesterday, a guard threw a piece of chocolate candy paper on the ground, and then he was found missing. What's the matter?” The Nazi shivered and said, “They shot him because it was a piece of German candy paper.
Anything marked with German marks is forbidden to be brought into the barracks. "For safety's sake, Captain Kahn locked this trembling guy into an empty room, without worrying that he would denounce it, because he would die instead.
Kahn introduced his true identity and what happened to Professor Hassett, and finally said: "Professor, we must act quickly. You gather the scientists from the British nursery school and call them to your room. There was a meeting to discuss what to do.” Fifteen minutes later, a dozen or so abducted scientists squeezed into Bassett’s room. Kahn bluntly stated that they were all victims of a German Nazi conspiracy. It has now been found that the man who claimed to be Colonel Johnson was no one else but Baron von Kertz, the head of the German Ministry of Scientific Weapons. This is not Wales, but the German-occupied area of France. They were not working for Britain, but were tricked into inventing new weapons and equipment for the Germans to kill their own compatriots.
At first, the experts thought Kahn was crazy, but then it was Professor Bassett who told everyone what had just happened, and only then dispelled the doubts in people's minds. Scientists finally realized their terrible situation and expressed their intention to do as Kahn ordered.
Kahn asked if there were any radio stations at their disposal so that they could report the situation here to the country. An expert named Lake said that he is developing a new high-power radar transmitter, but it does not emit ordinary radio waves, and ordinary radio receivers cannot receive the signals it sends.
Then, Kahn arranged the work and precautions to be prepared for everyone.
An hour later, a radar station on the southern coast of England received a strange signal. It always flashed on and off, but the signal did not flash.
Another radar station further away from the coast also received this signal. The monitor recognized that it was a Morse code. It must be someone who needs to use the code to report some kind of information, so he translated the code.
Two hours later, Colonel Bedford of the Special Operations Squadron summoned his subordinates to a meeting. He pointed to more than 20 reports sent from various radar stations on the table and said: "These radar stations have received one. Strange code signal. Fortunately, a surveillance officer called the telegram and recognized that it was Morse code and translated it. It turned out to be Kahn, and he used code words to explain that he was in the German-occupied area of France, and hoped that we were in Rescue the kidnapped scientists at 10 o’clock tomorrow night. He didn’t say where he was, and maybe he didn’t know it himself. But using the strength of the signals received from radars at different locations, he can accurately mark Kahn’s on the map. The location of the radar transmitter is where Kahn and the scientists are." He pointed to the map on the wall with a pencil and said, "It's here, a place in central France. We will organize a rescue commando now, tomorrow night. Act on time.” The next afternoon, the group of scientists once again gathered in Bassett’s room. Kahn informed them to act at 10 o’clock tonight and talked about his observation of the barracks in the morning: this barracks is very large, with a plane. Landing field. He told everyone about his plan of action: "There is a boxing match in the entertainment hall tonight. Almost everyone in the camp will watch it. At this time, the Germans are most relaxed. At 10 o'clock, our flying squadron will come to rescue us. In case they fail to receive the signal, we must also take risks. Therefore, at 8 o’clock tonight, we will make a surprise attack on the weapon arsenal and distribute the weapons to everyone. In addition, everyone must destroy the relevant scientific research materials in the evening, and we must not leave it to Germany. People." After dark, the raid on the weapon arsenal deployed by Kahn began. Professor Bassett and Tomkins, who was holding a homemade radio, came to the arsenal and found the guard guard. Bassett said, "This is the radio I promised to install for you. It will definitely help you relieve your boredom." The guard grinned with joy when he saw the professor put the radio on his bedside table and turned the radio knob. Laughed.
Deafening music came from the radio horn and reached Kahn's ears, lying behind the cabin. Knowing that the professor had led the guard away, he smashed a window glass above his head, stretched out his hand to open the window latch, and climbed into the window of the armory. Then he threw a few pistols, submachine guns, and boxes of ammunition to the scientists waiting outside to take part in the action in a lightning-like motion.
Chang En jumped down the window and returned to his companions. He commanded: "Put the pistol in your pocket, and hide the submachine gun in the trash can behind the cafeteria. Take it when you act. Everyone split up and see you in the boxing ring at 9 o'clock." The boxing match is about to begin. . The barracks entertainment hall was full of people. There are only a handful of guards on duty outside. The fake colonel who claimed to be Johnson first walked into the ring of the boxing ring, gave a speech, and thanked "Mr. Marvel" for his suggestion to arrange this entertainment. Then, he went through the rope and went to Kahn and Tomkins. Sit down on a seat next to him. The game started.
Boxing matches went on one after another, and the hand of the big clock on the main entrance moved towards 10 o'clock. Kahn is even more anxious: the appointed time is approaching, and the companions of the special operations squadron have not arrived yet. I don't know if they have received the signal he sent yesterday.
10 points to 5 points, there is still no movement outside. In order to attract the Germans to the field, Kahn temporarily offered to play the game. He is a boxing fan and has also trained in an amateur boxing club.
He climbed into the rope, restrained himself as much as possible, and focused on his opponent, while his eyes always looked at the clock unconsciously. The first back to the stage ended at 10 points to two minutes. Kahn sat in his corner panting, Tomkins stepped onto the court and handed him the sponge.
The second round began. It was only 1 minute away from 10 o'clock, but the squadron was still not visible. Kahn made a violent effort to conceal his inner tension. A straight punch knocked the short opponent to the ground. Tomkins got up from his seat excitedly and yelled, "Captain Badr, good fight!" The fake colonel turned his head vigilantly and stared at Tomkins, and asked viciously: "What do you call him? Badr? Captain?" The Nazi leader jumped up. He waved his arm and pointed at Kahn Badr in the rope, screaming: "Grab him, he is a spy!" Kahn jumped away in surprise. Tomkins exposed too early and messed up things. It seems that the plan is going to fall.
At this moment, a harsh police siren sounded outside. "Someone has attacked!" The Nazi colonel yelled, "Come on and catch all the British!" Professor Bassett took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the fake colonel: "Don't move, Baron von Kertz!
Your conspiracy is bankrupt! "Suddenly there was a gunshot outside, followed by a dull explosion. The Nazi colonel turned around abruptly. Bassett pulled the trigger, but the gun did not sound. The professor had never used a gun before, and I didn't know the safety of the gun hadn't been opened yet.
Von Kertz grabbed the pistol, pulled off the insurance, and rushed towards Kahn who was jumping off the boxing ring. He raised his gun and aimed at Kahn. Suddenly, there was a "bang" shot, the Nazi colonel screamed, and the gun fell from his injured hand. He saw a few people in black suddenly appear at the door. It turned out that the British commandos who came to the rescue arrived. Von Kertz rushed to a side door in a panic and escaped.
The sound of gunfire and explosions outside became more intense. Commandos dressed in black appeared at various exits of the entertainment hall, and Kahn jumped back among the ropes and shouted: "Everyone is sitting in their seats!
Surrounded here! Kill anyone who moves! "At this time, Colonel Bedford led another group of commandos rushed in. Kahn greeted him, and the two shook hands tightly. The colonel didn't have time to ask, and said: "Where are the scientists?" Come on, the plane is waiting on the runway. Take them away quickly. "The colonel led the commandos to escort the kidnapped scientist out of the hall. Kahn and several of the squadron's companions were behind. The Nazis sitting in their seats were terrified. They waited for a long time before they screamed in panic. stand up.
The commandos blew up the studio in the camp and set the building on fire. The entire barracks trembled amidst bursts of explosions.
The colonel and Kahn escorted the rescued scientists to the British transport plane parked on the runway, and the other commandos began to retreat quickly.
Kahn quickly counted the scientists who got on the plane. Suddenly he exclaimed: "Where is Professor Bassett? Where has he been?" A scientist said, he saw the professor running to the residential area, maybe some documents were rescued.
Kahn yelled anxiously: "Never leave him to the Germans, I have to find him." After speaking, he ran back.
The flirted Nazis are now organizing, rifle and machine gun bullets flying around the barracks. Kahn rushed to the residential building and slammed open the door of the professor's room, only to see Hasset was stuffing papers into his pocket.
"Quickly," Kahn said breathlessly. "There is no time!" The professor followed him and explained as he ran: "These things are the results of my recent experiments. They are too precious. They can't be left to the Germans!" Stumbled and ran down the steps. At this time, there was a loud noise, the time bomb installed by the commando exploded and the building collapsed.
Kahn took the professor and ran hard. Suddenly, Baron von Kertz appeared. He was still wearing a fake colonel's uniform. With a grin, he waved his uninjured left arm and threw a grenade at them.
Kahn quickly pushed Bassett to the ground. The grenade flew over their heads, hit a low wall and exploded.
Kahn raised his pistol and fired the last two bullets at the Nazi colonel. The guy was shaking with anger, pulled out a whistle, and blew it desperately.
"We must escape here in two minutes," Kahn said to the professor as he ran. "Otherwise, the plane will be forced to leave us and take off." A group of Nazi guards appeared at a not far turn. There are no bullets in Kahn's gun. At this moment, he suddenly found himself beside the trash can by the cafeteria. He remembered the submachine gun that had been hidden there earlier, and ran over to take one out of the barrel. "Da Da Da" shot hard, and the Nazi soldiers scattered around. Kahn and the professor rushed out of the siege.
When Kahn and Hasset ran to the plane, the plane was about to start. At this moment, Kahn stuffed the professor in. He ran for two steps and was also taken up by his partner on the plane.
The plane roared off the runway and rose into the air. The Nazi soldiers who rushed over had to shoot indiscriminately into the sky. Kahn Badr and his comrades finally rescued the kidnapped scientists.
As the plane slowly landed at the airport of the Special Operations Squadron, the Director of the Department of the Army’s Scientific Research Division and the families of scientists were greeted by the tarmac.
