Chapter 112: New "KV-220"
In addition to their linguistic skills, the Brandenburg Regiment carried a large number of limited-term passports, ration books, and identity cards, which could be used by the intelligence services to create fake documents. And because they are so familiar with the local customs and habits that it is difficult to distinguish them from the local people, they can easily blend in with the enemy population. In the words of a German spy agent, every Brandenburg member who entered Russia knew how to "spit like a Russian."
On a sprawling country house outside Brandenburg, future commandos are being trained in the art of covert operations and self-survival: how to walk in the forest without making a sound, how to survive on the land, how to discern direction through the stars, how to survive in a harsh climate. They learned how to steer a canoe, how to use parachutes and sleds to navigate the countryside, and how to make explosives from the simplest commodities such as potash, flour and sugar. They are equally skilled in the use of small arms, as well as the use of knives and noose tools to kill silently. With the continuous progress of the training course, many players quit halfway, and many people were eliminated and expelled. Those who remain regard themselves as good elements, comparable to, and surpassing, the soldiers of any army in the world.
Although the Brandenburg Regiment had many achievements since the outbreak of the war, especially on the Eastern Front, and their achievements were even more brilliant, the German army continued to win victories in the first few months of the attack on the Soviet Union, while the Brandenburg Regiment always fought on the fiercest front line. In less than a few days, a small detachment of the Brandenburg regiment captured the old military town of Przemeil, an important junction of roads and railways, and then another important railway junction, Lviv. Other detachments captured several important bridges over the Dvina River in the north, thwarted numerous Soviet counteroffensives, and held these bridges to the death. In the south, a special battalion of the Brandenburg Regiment infiltrated the ranks of the retreating Soviet troops, together with Ukrainian nationalists codenamed "Nightingale", capturing the security police of the Soviet People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs and rescuing prominent Ukrainians who were supposed to be executed because they were potential accomplices of the Germans. Men of the Brandenburg regiment landed on two or three islands off the coast of Estonia by assault boats and gliders. On the entire front, the Brandenburg platoon, which was conducting long-distance reconnaissance, dressed in Soviet military uniforms, carrying the necessary documents and even letters from home, drove Soviet trucks, and was led by people who could speak fluent Russian, and carried out activities several hundred kilometers behind enemy lines.
The soldiers of the Brandenburg Regiment performed one heroic deed after another, and the young soldiers marched to the forefront of the triumphal march, receiving more medals and official commendations than any other unit of the Wehrmacht. Although the Brandenburg regiment was fully affirmed by the top brass of the Third Reich, it was heard that the decision had been made to expand the Brandenburg regiment to a division this year.
Still, the regular forces were as disgusted with them as they had been. The party leader, Himmler, noticed this and created this special brigade within the SS.
Although the two had a certain relationship and had several successful collaborations, this time Stein was reluctant to ask for help from the Brandenburg Regiment.
Because this time the target is four girls.
He could imagine what the Brandenburg Regiment would do to them.
Although they had inflicted heavy casualties and losses on the battlefield, it was in real war. In Stein's opinion, they were able to achieve that result because they were familiar with their tanks, which were much more powerful.
What are German scientists doing? Is it possible to develop only such a drug with great side effects, and not to develop a tank as advanced as the Russians?
Stein noticed that he was emotionally abnormal, and quickly gathered his thoughts and returned to the task he had been given.
No matter what, they have to die, so let them die with good memories.
Stein picked up a pen and paper and began to write down the battle plan.
Kirov Plant, tank rebuild workshop.
"The Red Banner Baltic Fleet has already given us a reply and agreed to send 4 'KS-12' over." Lomonosov, the director of the workshop, said to Sun Hui with a smile, "They also sent a small model of this cannon to express their respect for the '521' hero crew." ”
The "KS-12" mentioned by Lomonosov is the "52-K" 39-year 85 mm 55.2 times diameter anti-aircraft gun, which was designed by the designer Loginov to replace the 38-year 76.2 mm anti-aircraft gun equipped by the Soviet Navy, and now Sun Hui wants to use it as a tank gun for the new "KV-220" tank.
"I was worried that they would not be willing to dismantle their anti-aircraft guns, after all, enemy aircraft are also a great threat to the fleet." Sun Hui said happily, but his eyes did not take off the prototype of the "KV-220-1" tank that had not yet installed the turret.
"These 4 guns are spare new guns in stock, not on warships and batteries." "What I'm wondering now is, are you sure you want to equip both prototypes with this gun, and install a new turret?" ”
"That's right." Sun Hui nodded, his face full of eagerness, "There are also those two 'T-150' prototypes, which should also be installed like this." I hope that the installation will be completed sooner so that these tanks can be tested. ”
"As you wish, dear Comrade Alexander, we will try to complete the work before the factory is demolished to a new place." Lomonosov smiled and nodded, "So that you and the girls can better destroy the fascists." ”
"Now it's not just our car group, there will be 4 car groups, and the fascists will be so scared that they can't sleep when they know the news." Sun Hui said with a smile, "But although there are tanks now, it is still not easy to find people, because novices need to train and run in with tanks, which takes time." ”
"If you need a good tanker ready to work, why don't you go to the 'Punishment Camp'?" Lomonosov suggested to Sun Hui.
"There will be good tankmen in the 'punishment camp'?" Lomonosov's words reminded Sun Hui at once, but he still pretended to be very surprised on the surface and asked rhetorically.
"Of course, there are many excellent fighters in the 'Punishment Battalion'......" A trace of sadness flashed in Lomonosov's eyes, but it was fleeting, and if it weren't for Sun Hui's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
