Chapter 46 Oil and Ammo
The German army, with experience in combat in Western Europe, acted quickly and accurately, especially the commanders and non-commissioned officers of the Storm Corps armored units, were trained by the complete armored division of the Chinese Federation.
Although they were disbanded and merged into the Storm Legion after returning to Germany, this did not weaken their strength. On the contrary, after joining the Air Cavalry and other armored troops, hoping to serve in the SS, they fully developed the rapid, accurate and bold characteristics of the Chinese Federal Armored Forces.
When it was bright, the huge armored cluster of the entire Storm Legion began to turn. At this time, their muzzles began to turn towards their real target, Leningrad.
So far, they have not encountered any excessive tough resistance. The border troops of the Soviet Red Army were completely attacked, and the bold interweaving of the Storm Legion has also disrupted the deployment of the entire Soviet Red Army.
Because if we discuss it based on the combat experience in Western Europe, then the Storm Corps of Lieutenant General Hermann Ferghrein had already advanced too fast. Even the infantry on their wings did not follow, including the supply convoy, were thrown far behind by them.
As mentioned earlier, air supply was a problem for the Germans, although it was definitely not a problem for the Chinese Federation. But the Soviet Red Army, who had just recovered from the attack, was busy restoring the communication system, and secondly, it was busy organizing all troops to launch counterattacks. There was no time to mobilize troops to organize any encirclement battles.
Unfortunately, because in the Soviet Union's Great Purge, too many officers were executed. The Soviet Red Army's Great Purge was mainly concentrated in the upper class, with 3 deaths of 5 marshals, accounting for 60%; 13 deaths of 15 army-level (generals, generals) died, accounting for 87%; 57 deaths of 85 army-level (lieutenant generals), accounting for 67%; 110 deaths of 196 division-level (major generals), accounting for 56%; 406 brigade commanders (brigadier generals) died, accounting for 220 deaths of 54%.
This is a great purge in history. As for now, 80% of these people have come to the Chinese Federation. Some of them have served in the Russian Royal Guards. Of course, people like Tukhachevsky have become citizens and soldiers of the Chinese Federation.
In the Federation of China, this great purge was described as "Stalin's bathhouse that is stupider than a pig". Today, citizens who are already living in the world's most powerful country, the Federation of China, who live in a country ruled by law, basically cannot understand why Stalin did this. Can we do such a stupid thing to destroy a country and a nation for personal desires and power?
As for the description of being stupider than a pig, it comes from the mouths of senior officers such as Li Erganzi or Red Duke who swears without leaving their mouths. Of course, it is also because they defeated the Soviet Red Army in front of them in the fight in Ukraine some time ago and won by a big score. As winners, both of these guys were willing to humiliate Stalin and the Soviet Bolsheviks he led.
As a result, because of their identity, these words were openly published and broadcast around the world. Therefore, Stalin also had an interesting nickname - the stupid murderer wearing a black double-breasted coat! Abbreviation - Black Pig Killer!
Although Joseph Stalin's nickname has almost nothing to do with the battle in front of him, the lack of excellent commanders who have been tested by the war is the most basic reality of the Soviet Red Army. Most of the people who can serve as officers in the Soviet Red Army are so-called "political firmness" or "clear position" professional stupid pigs.
These people are all top-notch masters when they label others as "panic". But it is more straightforward to drive them into the slaughterhouse than to do professional things. It is such a person who leads the tenacious and brave soldiers of the Soviet Red Army, how can he not cause huge and heavy losses, and how can he not take them to the cruel hell of death?
In the end, this stupid army with the commanding ideology will be crushed by a truly professional army. The Storm Legion is of course not professional, but compared to the Soviet Red Army, German soldiers with the tradition of the Prussian officers can still be regarded as extremely outstanding soldiers.
Not to mention that the Soviet Red Army is facing Major General Joseph Dietrich, the armored warfare commander trained by the city of Eagle, the location of the Whampoa Military Academy of the Chinese Federation. It is the person he led his armored cluster for Lieutenant General Hermann Ferghrein. It is the Major General Joseph Dietrich who was trained in the Chinese Federation.
SS was dragged down by Lieutenant General Hermann Feigröin, and the SS had to develop its own independent rank system. Although it was almost exactly the same as the ranks of the German Wehrmacht, they just couldn't divide them into naval, army, air and armies like the National Wehrmacht. And there was only one type, that was the SS officer.
At this time, because of the armored cluster led by Major General Joseph Dietrich, the attack speed was too fast. Lieutenant General Hermann Ferghrein had to use some skeleton gunboats to drag the meteorite rotorgliders to transport a large amount of fuel for those tanks.
Even so, it is still difficult to meet the needs of the tanks in the armored cluster. In order to solve this problem, Major General Joseph Dietrich sent some heavy infantry units, under the cover of Ju-87 Stuka dive bombers, rotor attack aircraft and skeleton gunships, and captured some airports where there were not many aircraft left under the attack of air warships.
Some oil depots built under the protection of the fast front were not destroyed by the Luftwaffe's air warships. It was these oils that temporarily solved the fuel problem of the Storm Army's armored forces.
But before Joseph Dietrich's Major General of the SS breathed a sigh of relief, he had already passed it on the "Hawkeye-Reconnaissance/Command Airship" and found out that the Soviet Red Army's first tank cluster launched a counterattack.
"Ah, it seems that God treats us well! These guys were trained by Lieutenant General Zhukov, commander of the Soviet Belarus Military Region. When studying in the City of Eagle, they told me that there were probably only Zhukov's troops in the Soviet Red Army, which were still considered to be the best!
According to pre-war information, they were transferred from Belarus to this nearby, and I always wondered when they would appear.
You know, the last time the Chinese Federation dealt with the Soviet Southern Military Region, it took only a few days to dismantle the two million troops of a military region, including the air force and tanks. As far as I know, the armored troops of the Soviet Red Army and even the tanks of the Chinese Federation were not seen. Most of their tanks were handed over to the Chinese Federation intact in the warehouse!"
These are not a secret. Among the war betting in the whole world, only the rate of the battles directly participated in by the Chinese Federation is the most meaningless, because all the gamblers in the world bet on the Chinese Federation to win.

He led the officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers from other armored units with only one division. They formed the main framework of the full armored troops of the Storm Legion today. In the subsequent training, he also witnessed the abilities of these armored soldiers officers who were trained by the Whampoa Military Academy at high intensity.
"Major General Dietrich, if I heard it correctly, you mean that your armored forces will not pause for this Soviet Red Army armored force. Are you going to ask me to send air forces to destroy them? About this..."
Major General Joseph Dietrich, unceremoniously, interrupted him on the radio.
"Lt. General Feiglain, use the air force at hand to deal with them. We will move towards the coast of the Bay of Luga. If the Estonians are really so trustworthy, I think they can send us some oil through the transport ship. At the same time, Lieutenant General Feiglain, I solemnly ask you to use all your possible means to ensure our fuel. You know that if I stop, our armored legion will likely be surrounded!"
Lieutenant General Hermann Feigrilin knew that this was definitely not a threat. He had already separated from the subsequent German Wehrmacht troops and was like a huge ghost behind the Red Army front at this moment, which could appear at any time in the rear of any Red Army front.
Lieutenant General Hermann Feigrilin reached out to caress his young, wrinkled forehead, and he sighed like a moan.
"Well, I will do my best. If our planes are not enough, I will rescue the German Navy and the Air Force and ask them to send all possible means of transport to you and your troops for necessary supplies!"
Major General Joseph Dietrich, on the other end of the radio, immediately determined the only two supplies he needed. As for the other things, he seemed to have a solution.
