Chapter 252: SS5 "Viking"
After another earth-shattering explosion, most of the German bombers shook their wings and proudly set out on their way home, while the rest of the planes chased after the German fighters who had fled earlier, as if there was something more appealing to them.
The Belgian soldier heard that the explosion was over, and crawled out again with his head probed.
Compared with the huge casualties caused by the German artillery fire last time, this time the casualties should have been more serious, but this time miraculously very few people died, but the tattered positions that had been bombed were completely useless after this round, leaving only a few complete tunnels to prove that the Belgian army had dug trench nets here instead of huge craters all over the ground.
"Speed up, if you don't want the Germans to easily cross the anti-tank trenches!" The deputy battalion commander stood on a small slope, "I think Mr. Battalion Commander has already demonstrated to you what the consequences of running slowly are, right?" ”
"The battalion commander is a good man...... one soldier said as he ran past the deputy battalion commander.
"yes, he's a good guy." The deputy battalion commander sighed and silently glanced at the "Mr. Good Man" who was only half left not far away, "I think the Germans thought so too, so they gave him a 'gift' weighing 1,100 pounds with Stuka......"
It has to be said that the Belgians were still very determined to defend their country, and although they had the intention of retreating after a series of blows, they still bravely picked up their guns and entered the positions that could no longer be said to be "positions" when the Germans began to launch ground offensives.
Finally, a long yellow dust appeared in the distance in the sky.
German armored forces are coming!
Somehow, the Allied troops, who would have lamented the appearance of the German armored forces in the past, felt extremely relaxed at the moment, and almost everyone thought in their hearts - "You who are riding horses are finally here, and you miss me......"
"Hey~ The friends of the Air Force and the divisional artillery are very powerful." Hans held Gro's telescope in his hand and looked at the Canadian position not far away full of craters, "With so many craters, how many of those Belgians survived?" ”
"A lot for sure." Hoffman checked his weapon while munching on candy, "The Führer said that for him a living captive is worth far more than a dead warrior. ”
"Captive? There's a fart,......," Hans snorted, "and they have to eat our food and drink our water after the captives, and if I want to say that it is better to dig a pit and bury them all alive." ”
"There's something wrong with your thinking." Gro couldn't take it anymore, he glanced at Hans, "Come to me when the battle is over, let's talk." ”
"That's what it was!" Hans stiffened his neck and said dissatisfiedly, "What's the use of capturing them?" Wouldn't it be easier to kill? ”
"So the Führer is the Führer, and you're just a big-headed soldier, hahahaha!" Fogel punched Hans next to him and laughed loudly.
"Don't laugh!" Hans pounced on Fogel with a flushed face and claws, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed, "Do you know what's the use?" ”
"So I'm a big soldier too, haha." Fogel wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Hey, do you know that a very special Panzergrenadier division has been formed in the rear?" Gro looked at the two who could get together anytime and anywhere, shook his head and asked.
"A very special Panzergrenadier Division has been formed?" Hans stopped, "I know that there is a new Panzergrenadier Division, but I haven't heard of anything special ......"
"yes, what's so special." Fogel laughed, "Could it be that they fly planes instead of chariots?" ”
"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.
"Because the Führer gave this division the name 'Viking', and its division commander was General Steinner." Hoffman answered coldly.
"General Steiner?!" Everyone gasped when they heard the name, "Are you sure it's General Steiner?" ”
"Yes, General Steiner that Hoffmann is talking about is General Felix Martin Julius Steinner, deputy commander-in-chief of the Waffen-SS!" Gro nodded solemnly.
Felix Martin Julius Steiner was a man of great importance in the SS, and when Lyon ordered the reorganization of the Waffen-SS, he personally appointed him and Paul Hausser (in his previous life, the national commander of the German SS and general of the Waffen-SS) as the two deputy commanders of the Waffen-SS, and cooperated with Ludwig to build a strong and new army.
In the face of such a heavy burden, Steiner also gave Leon a satisfactory answer to repay Leon's unconditional trust.
He made a comprehensive summary of the problems he had felt during his previous service in the Wehrmacht, and then based on these ideas, he created new training methods and combat models and applied them to the new SS, so that the new SS broke away from the old German culture and became an extremely powerful army!
If Ludwig, who was the supreme commander of the SS and accompanied Lyon all the year round, brought the soul to the SS, then this Steiner brought the SS a strong body, which gave the SS the strength to laugh at the whole world!
"But isn't General Steiner only responsible for training? Why did he personally come out to lead the army? "Hans found something strange.
"Because the name of this division is 'Viking.'" Hoffman interjected faintly again.
"'Viking'......," Hans muttered, "the name is strange, isn't the SS named after famous people or in a direct sense?" ”
"Maybe it's a group of Vikings who make up this division, haha!" Fogel quipped.
"It's really a bunch of 'Vikings.'" "Most of the soldiers who make up this division come from the homeland of the Vikings – Norway, Sweden and Denmark – and a few others come from Iceland and Finland, and they are veritable 'Vikings'!" ”
"The Führer values this division very much, because it represents the ideas and goals of him and the entire People's Will Party." Hoffman added.
"From this moment on, the will will will no longer be limited to the citizens of Germany, no longer limited to the Germanic people, from this moment on, we will sprinkle the will of the people on the whole of Europe!" Everyone picked up Hoffman and said aloud, "Long live the Empire!" Long live the Führer! Long live pan-Europeanism! ”
"No wonder General Steiner needs to be the commander of the division himself......," Hans suddenly realized, "and he is the only one who can bring together people from so many countries." ”
"So do you understand why the Führer wants us to treat our captives preferentially?" Gro laughed.
