Chapter 1528: The Skeleton Division Advances

As a leader, you have to have an unusual vision, and Stalin saw the doorway.

In the past, there were also German submarines, but they were intercepted on the Arctic route, and in order to avoid them, the Soviet Union decided to take the Far Eastern route.

As a result, there are more submarines here, just like locusts, so many submarines, how did they resupply? It's impossible to cross half the world every time, right? Even if the Germans occupied Egypt and took the route of the Middle East, it would not be close.

In Asia, there must be a submarine base for the Germans, and as long as you think about it again, it will be clear that this base is absolutely inseparable from the islanders.

After all, in this war, Germany does not have any conflict with the islanders at present, on the contrary, there is a common enemy, and until now, the two countries have not formed an alliance, so there must be deeper reasons, these do not need to be considered by their own side, they only need to deduce that the Germans have received the help of the islanders, and that is enough.

"That is, somewhere in the island country, there is a submarine base set up by the island country specifically for the Germans?" Kuznetsov reacted.

"Yes, send our best intelligence officers, and we must find out this submarine base." Stalin said: "As long as this submarine base is eliminated, then we will not have to worry about the threat of submarines for the time being." ”

As soon as Stalin's words fell, an anxious voice came from outside: "Comrade Stalin, Kalinin is in a hurry, Kalinin is in a hurry!" ”

The German Army North, a large-scale offensive on Kalinin, finally began.

As the most cowardly Northern Army, they were ashamed to stop in front of Kalinin, and recently waited a few days, on the one hand, to place grille armor, and on the other hand, to wait for the army behind.

Finally, the main forces were fully gathered, and the general assault on Kalinin began.

Tiger tanks are at the forefront, and even these Tiger tanks can be combined into a triangular offensive camp!

The first to arrive here was the Wehrmacht's 6th Panzer Division, whose main force was the Panther-3 tanks, and now, at the forefront of the charge, was the most combat-ready unit in the entire Northern Route Corps, the Skeleton Division.

The Skull Division, the 3rd SS Panzer Division, had a small skeleton embroidered on their epaulettes, hence the name, this Panzer Division was the team of the Waffen-SS in the early years, and the first division commander was Kurt Meyer, the commander of the 1st Panzer Regiment.

Now, Kurt is in charge of commanding the entire 4th Panzer Army, and the commander of the Skeleton Division is Odore Ike, who has come up step by step from the bottom.

This panzer division was originally organized according to Guderian's idea, an panzer division had two panzer regiments, and each panzer regiment had two panzer battalions, and now, at the forefront, was the 3rd SS Panzer Regiment, and their pantry regiment was full of a heavy panzer battalion.

Yes, it is an integrated Tiger tank armored battalion, this battalion has four tank companies, each company has 21 Tiger tanks, lined up in two triangular formations.

In this way, one battalion would be enough to unfold a shock array of eight Tiger tanks, and they would walk at the front of the whole army, swinging a wide offensive side, and as soon as they tore a hole in front, the rest of the armored units behind would follow in a rolling influx.

After half an hour of shelling, the entire position in front of us smelled of burning, and the anti-tank mines that had been laid were also cleared by the roar of the Shirek organ, and the Tiger tanks rumbled into action.

They were all draped in additional armor, some of which looked like bricks, and on the outside of the tank, like the other tanks, there was also grille armor, which made it gain about half a ton again, and it also made it a terrible monster.

Now, they are rumbling towards the positions of the Soviet troops, and if the first attack is dominated by the Tiger tanks, those bazookas will not work at all.

"Captain Klit, it's up to us now." Grevich said to the commander of the 442 regiment, Kolit.

Kelite nodded vigorously: "Yes, whether we can hold the line of defense depends on our joint efforts, don't worry, we will not back down." ”

Last time, they were surprised to find that those tanks had added an iron fence to block their own anti-tank weapons, and the confidence they had built up so easily dissipated in an instant.

However, they will never retreat, this is their position, and they must fight to the end, writing loyalty with their blood and lives.

Bazooka has not yet been transported in large quantities, so now the Soviets have no chance to operate these weapons, so they can only let the men of the 442nd Infantry Regiment operate them, and at the same time, the comrades in a trench, of course, will not only let these Nissi who come from afar die.

The people came to reinforce them, but they were crippled, and their own troops who were originally guarding watched?

Of course not.

They also want to fight together.

Someone with Molotov cocktails, someone with a cluster grenade, and the soldiers carrying Bazooka went into the trenches in front, and in the bombed fortifications, they waited quietly for the Germans to come up.

"Damn, it's the Tiger." In one of the craters, Kochakin, a soldier of the Soviet Red Army, looked at the tank unit that was moving over, and couldn't help whispering.

The Panther tank is already difficult to deal with, and the Tiger tank is even more difficult, the armor of this tank is quite thick, and its own large-caliber anti-tank guns can't penetrate it, not to mention these individual anti-tank weapons.

Even so, there is no backing down!

He was waiting quietly, the appearance of those tanks, becoming clearer and clearer, crawling in the crater, Kochagin clenched the Molotov cocktail in his hand, it was time to ignite.

At this moment, he heard a strange and familiar voice, and he was immediately shocked, no, the Germans are really shameless!

In the sky, one after another HS129 attack planes flew over the battlefield just right.

Each corps was equipped with an aviation unit, and the German Northern Corps, although the weakest, was also equipped with the 1st Air Force, commanded by Alfred Keller, with a total of more than 1,000 aircraft, and now, for this campaign, more than a hundred of them HS129 sweepers, have reached the skies over the battlefield.

Hiding in bomb craters and fortifications, it is not easy for tanks to see, but in the sky, in the eyes of attack aircraft pilots, there are live targets one by one.

Infantry anti-tank, doomed to be a tragedy.
