In the original existing timeline, in the world after 1941 without Malashenko, the Viking division, which was urgently upgraded to an armored division after the Battle of Kursk, did not have a very powerful armored force. Tiger Leopard One
There are no vehicles, only a few small and outdated No. 3 and No. 4 vehicles, and there are not many of them. They are difficult to use. At most, they can be regarded as a light armored division.
In this world that is completely different from the existing history, time has once again proved one thing with silent facts: the butterfly effect caused by time travelers is a genuine, double-edged sword, and war is the driving force behind the advancement of human science and technology.
The truth of the first motivation is really not false at all.
Germany, which was severely beaten by the powerful Soviet tank force, was forced to speed up the research and development of armored forces and invested more time, energy, manpower and material resources than it had in history. The direct result of this was the German Zoo.
Get out of the cage early.
Subsequently, due to the intensified spread of the butterfly effect, Black Panther 2, a gadget that should not have been actually manufactured in the existing history, was accelerated in 1944 due to the strong actual needs of the front line.
Mass production was achieved and launched on the battlefield.
Another result of the butterfly effect caused by Malashenko is that even after suffering a huge blow, the current Viking division still has considerable strength.
Malashenko led Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division to kill one of two fully equipped armored regiments, which was equivalent to directly removing an arm of the Viking division.
The remaining armored regiment was still fighting during the day, and the sea battle with the Red Army T34 tanks intercepting the front was extremely fierce. The sky was dark and the sky was dark. The fighting lasted from close to noon until the evening before it stopped and retreated. It was quite a miniature version of Kursk.
The taste of battle.
A Viking division with a large number of Black Panther 1, Black Panther 2 and a small number of King Tigers will naturally have an undisputed huge advantage when facing T34.
Even though the group of Russian guys opposite have replaced nearly half of the new T3485 tanks, this kind of tank, which only has a turret and a gun, is still no match for the elite German armored forces. In terms of single-car performance, it is not even as good as the Panther 1
None of them can compare, let alone the more powerful Black Panther 2 and the moving hill-like King Tiger.
Therefore, even though it faced a huge numerical disadvantage and only invested half of its armor strength, the Viking Division still fought vigorously on the frontal main offensive battlefield during the day, with impressive results.
At the cost of a single armored regiment losing 35%, most of the Russian Guards Tank Army on the opposite side was wiped out. The burning wreckage of T34 tanks can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, and the Viking Division's Iron Fist rocket launchers have been installed on a large scale. Here,
It also played an important role in the war.
Most of those T34s that wanted to rush up and defeat the German tanks at close range were defeated one by one by the SS infantry guarding their own tanks with iron fists. The iron fists that can be easily carried by a single soldier can be used against T34s with one shot.
Able to wear armor, no ambiguity.
The extremely excited foreign SS soldiers shouted repeatedly that this was a life-saving artifact sent to them by the Führer.
After the day's battle ended, the Viking division, which had been fighting fiercely for a whole day, still retained considerable armor strength. Tiger King, Black Panther 1, Black Panther 2, and the rest were miscellaneous, some of which were even broken up.
With the support of No. 3 and No. 4 that were transferred from the National Defense Force, the current Viking Division can still barely scrape together the strength of more than half of the armored regiment. It can be regarded as a miracle at the moment.
After receiving the order from the division commander Herbert, the Viking division, which was still full of energy and high morale, immediately began to take action.
This group of foreign SS soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies, but they were full of strong willpower that was completely incompatible with their physical condition, and even the opposite. All equipment and supplies that could not be taken away were abandoned on the spot.
Everything that was left behind and could be taken away was loaded onto the truck and packed away.
The lack of fuel required for breakout operations is one of the practical problems faced by the Viking Division. Although there is a guarantee of fuel that Strimmerman has previously collected and transferred from the Wehrmacht, it is reasonable to say that it can maintain the minimum fuel for a hundred kilometers of cross-country travel.
need.
But Herbert, who believed that he would definitely be able to break through successfully, was obviously not satisfied with this. His pair of sinister eyes looked around under the small Himmler-style glasses. He immediately thought of a man who could quickly obtain fuel but could be called bold.
A "bad idea", this kind of thing can only be done at this special moment.
"Scott, take your people and go to the Wehrmacht coward next door to "borrow" some oil. Remember, bring all the equipment you need, load the bullets, and be quick!"
The person who was called urgently, called Scott, was an SS First Class Assault Group Captain. He was not a soldier under Herbert, but SS Warlow who had been integrated with the Viking division.
A battalion commander of the Nepalese Panzergrenadier Brigade.
Herbert admired this young man in his early thirties who fanatically believed in the Führer. He took care of Scott during the days of fighting during the siege of Cherkasy. Several times Scott and his troops were in danger.
It was Herbert who sent reinforcements to save him and his men and repel the Russians.
The Viking Division and the Walloni Panzergrenadier Brigade, both members of the SS, were now united and reported to the group for warmth. Naturally, they were under the unified command of Herbert, who had the highest military rank and the highest position. Scott was very concerned about Herbert.
Naturally, he didn't have any objections to the task being ordered to him, but after understanding the meaning of Herbert's hint, Scott was a little worried.
"General, isn't this a bit...what if, I mean what if those guys from the National Defense Forces refuse to give us fuel?"
Herbert's hint was very obvious. He clearly assigned Scott to grab the fuel. Regardless of whether the National Defense Forces were willing or not, they had to get the necessary fuel back. This was the only task that must be completed.
Scott knew that the SS and the Wehrmacht disliked each other, but he was worried. What if the Wehrmacht were unwilling to give him fuel?
You must know that Commander Stummerman's troops have been disbanded and the self-selection order has been issued. If the Wehrmacht cannot maintain the Wehrmacht, there will still be useful fuel. There is no order from superiors and it is a critical time when supplies are in short supply and the situation is sensitive. Scott is really
I'm afraid that if I can't guarantee my errand, something big will happen.
Seeing that Scott was still undecided and hesitant, Herbert, who sneered at the corners of his mouth, was determined to cheer Scott up at the last moment and let him understand "the true meaning of the facts."
