"The 10th Panzergrenadier Regiment stands out!"
Division Commander Shurd shouted loudly.
With his order, the entire personnel of the 10th Panzergrenadier Regiment immediately stood out one after another, in a neat formation.
The regiment was under the jurisdiction of: "3 battalions, 1 artillery regiment, 1 armored battalion, 1 self-propelled anti-tank artillery battery; 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion and 1 engineer battalion. In total, there are 234 senior officers, 1320 non-commissioned officers and 5344 enlisted men. ”
"Tell me, do you have the confidence to wipe out all the enemy forces that are about to approach!"
Division Commander Shurd exuded a burst of murderous aura and roared loudly.
"Yes!"
All the soldiers of the 10th Panzergrenadier Regiment responded loudly.
"Didn't you eat? Why is it so quiet! I can't hear you say anything more! ”
The division commander Schulder opened his eyes in dissatisfaction and shouted loudly.
"We are confident!"
Drunk so by his own division commander, all the soldiers of the 10th Panzergrenadier Regiment; They all exerted all their strength in unison, and shouted in deafening voices.
"Good! Prove to me now that you are one of the strongest units of our German army, and I hope that you will become a more famous and powerful Panzergrenadier Division than the Panzer Divisions of the Reich, the Panzer Divisions of the Skeletons, and the Panzer Divisions of the Hitler Youth! Because this is the order of the Führer who sent a telegram to us last night! ”
"So I want to know if you have the faith and determination to do it! If not, you can roll me back to China right now! Because I will never allow you to give our 15th Panzergrenadier Division a disgrace in front of the Führer! And this time, the Führer also sent a lot of new weapons and equipment for us to try! ”
"If your performance is excellent, then you will be able to equip all of these new weapons and equipment in the future!"
Division Commander Shurd continued to speak solemnly and domineeringly.
"Yes! Teachers! We'll be sure to give you a good show! Victory for the Führer, long live the Führer! ”
Hearing this, all the German soldiers excitedly raised their voices to the highest level and said in a loud voice.
"Good! These are the soldiers of our 15th Panzergrenadier Division, so take your weapons and equipment and let me go and wipe out your enemies! You need to let them know who the toughest troops are! Our 15th Panzergrenadier Division is the strongest! Not one of them! ”
The division commander Schulder was satisfied, smiled a little, and then roared in the loudest voice, and said all the words in his heart.
For him, he had never thought of becoming the number one elite unit in Germany, or even the world, as he did now; But before coming here, he was personally received by Chen Yanlong, and he also said something to him that changed his life.
When I think about it now, he still remembers it vividly.
He still remembers that the day before he came to Pantelleria, in the Berlin Chancellery, he stood very nervously in front of Chen Yanlong.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Shurde!"
Looking at the nervous Shuerde, Chen Yanlong said with a gentle smile.
"Yes! Monarch! I'm also very happy to meet the Führer! I don't know what the Führer has ordered us to call us over! ”
Seeing Chen Yanlong's kind smile, his tense mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and he saluted loudly.
"No, I just wanted to ask you if you have any intention of becoming the toughest unit in all of Germany, and becoming an officer of a higher rank than you already have!"
Chen Yanlong showed a harmless smile and said with a slight smile.
"Yes! Monarch! I swear to fight to the death for you! ”
Shocked by such shocking good news, the division commander Shurde immediately trembled with excitement; In a voice that was about to burst into tears, he replied loudly.
At the same time, he also saluted Chen Yanlong with a very standard and powerful Nazi military salute.
"Then give me a good fight in the Battle of Pantelleria, and give me a good kill! I'll keep watching you and don't let me down! ”
Chen Yanlong gently patted the other party's shoulder and smiled in an encouraging tone.
"Yes! Monarch! Victorious Führer! ”
Division Commander Schulder was even more excited, and replied in a voice that shook the earth.
For his excited and excited answer, Chen Yanlong just smiled slightly and did not reply.
After thinking of this, the division commander Schulder clenched his fists tightly, and made up his mind in his heart to lead his troops; Become the toughest force in all of Germany, if not the strongest in the world.
At this time, the soldiers of the 10th Panzergrenadier Regiment also took their weapons and equipment and walked towards their forward positions.
These weapons were: "26 81-mm mortars, 12 120-mm mortars, 32 20-mm anti-aircraft guns; 24 75-mm anti-tank guns, 4 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 105-mm howitzers; and 12 150-mm heavy howitzers. ”
"and an armored battalion and a self-propelled anti-tank battalion with a total of 24 No. 4 tanks and 22 75-mm self-propelled anti-tank guns; As well as 6 150-mm self-propelled infantry guns, and 6 Wasp self-propelled howitzers, as well as 3 Vespa self-propelled howitzers.
In addition, there are 100 Rambo guns, M607.62mm general-purpose machine guns, 1,000 AKM assault rifles, 100 RPG-740 rocket launchers, and 10 BM21 rocket launchers seconded from the Goering Panzer Division, as well as sufficient ammunition.
And the 15th Panzergrenadier Division's more famous 115th Tank Battalion is in the forefront in high spirits.
And this tank battalion had three companies, each with fourteen tank No. 4s.
But soon the 10th Panzergrenadier Regiment was divided into three Panzergrenadier battalions, and at the same time into a squad of Panzergrenadiers, which were on their own fronts, ready for defensive battles.
And one of their panzergrenadier squads had 12 people, and they included: "a squad leader, a deputy squad leader, two light machine gun crews; There were three soldiers in each group, and the others were riflemen. ”
However, at this moment, Chen Yanlong also deliberately dispatched 1,000 more soldiers to the division commander Shuerde; Give him command to use those new weapons and equipment to fight.
And this 1,000-strong force is some of the more elite soldiers drawn from the Wehrmacht; Airborne from the Eastern Front to Sicily, to replenish him.
