Wasp self-propelled gun Rommel on the Internet I don't know how many times I have seen it, first remove the turret of tank No. 2, the steel plate on the hull should be cut, welded when it should be welded, anyway, Rommel has already made the drawings, first transform one out for testing, and then try it.

In the process of trial, find out the shortcomings, and then modify until there are no big problems, anyway, not to look good, only to use. The repair battalion of the 7th Armored Division is in full swing every day, and the transformation work is in full swing, and the transformation work is progressing rapidly.

Germany had the only self-propelled gun at this time, the Bison self-propelled gun, which was actually the German army directly installed the s.IG.33150mm heavy infantry gun on the No. 1B chassis, a total of 38 vehicles were modified. Rommel, the newly adapted Panzer Division, simply couldn't share such a sought-after commodity.

So Rommel had to be self-reliant, the 7th Panzer Division originally had 60 tanks 2 and 3, and Rommel used 44 of the two self-propelled guns. The remaining sixteen tanks No. 2 and No. 3 were used as reconnaissance tanks.

Light tanks to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, it must be much better than Germany's use of half-tracks, the generation rate alone is much stronger than that of half-tracks, Rommel's Seventh Panzer Division can now have half more reconnaissance force than other troops, and the firepower is twice that of other Panzer Divisions, not to mention the tanks, all of them are Germany's latest No. 4 tanks, and the earliest armored divisions formed in Germany are not as good as Rommel's Seventh Panzer Division.

With weapons in hand, personnel in place, training in full swing, and the combat power of the 7th Panzer Division is soaring wildly, of course, this is inseparable from Rommel's example, he often participates in training with soldiers, and of course his two brothers Luxembourg and Bismarck also contribute a lot.

In the blink of an eye, in April 1940, the rumors of war were getting closer and closer, and Rommel heard that the high-level had finalized a plan to attack France, and Rommel of course knew that the plan to attack France was the "yellow plan" formulated by his brothers Manstein and Guderian.

The wheel of history is still rolling forward according to his original trajectory, and Rommel, a small major general, has no ability to change the trajectory of history at this time. "Don't ask for trouble.

One morning in mid-March, Rommel got up early as usual, washed up, and then went to the mirror to shave, and when Rommel saw himself in the mirror, he was very surprised to find that the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, and his skin had become as elastic as when he was younger, and even his blonde hair, which had been a little sparse and gray, had unconsciously turned into a thick head of blonde hair.

What is the situation, Rommel looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief, it stands to reason that he is already forty-nine years old, how can he suddenly become like a young man, is this the welfare of the traverser, he is actually rejuvenated.

But Rommel was still not worried about his body, in case his body was not rejuvenated but rejuvenated, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the divisional hospital of the 7th Panzer Division to check his health.

The medical skills of German doctors are very high, let alone military doctors. Rommel, the division commander, wanted to check his physical health, and several attending doctors from the division's hospital hurriedly consulted Rommel together.

The attending doctors first measured Rommel's heart rate, then Rommel's blood pressure, then blood tests, then urine tests, and finally X-rays. Western medicine is like this, everything speaks with real data.

After the examination was completed, Rommel waited for two hours in the division's hospital with a nervous heart, and Rommel's health examination report came out, in the words of the attending doctor:

"General Rommel, your body is very healthy, and it is completely comparable to a strong young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, congratulations to your general."

When Rommel heard the news, it was so gratifying. Rommel, who was almost fifty years old, originally thought that he had suffered a big loss, but God gave him this a huge benefit.

I have now become a single dog, and it is really ecstatic good news that I have returned to the state of being in my twenties. Rommel felt light, if he was as famous as in history, would the days of hugging left and right be far away? I definitely don't want to, it's throbbing to think about.

In late March 1940, various supplies began to arrive at the 7th Panzer Division, including ammunition, gasoline, tents, etc. This is just a regular supplement, but Rommel has 500 more trucks than other armored divisions, and these trucks are not used to empty, but Rommel wants to ask for an extra 2,500 tons of supplies, and even the commander of the army group cannot satisfy Rommel.

A German armored division has more than 500 trucks, but the German truck shortage is serious, generally only about 300, and the Seventh Panzer Division is the same, only 289 trucks, but Rommel asked Krupp to donate more than 500 trucks to the Seventh Panzer Division, and these more than 500 trucks are most of the surplus.

The German logistics department generally calculated the supply according to the carrying capacity of 300 trucks, and the supplies sent by the logistics department were only enough for Rommel to fill the original 298 trucks, and the extra 500 trucks were all empty! Isn't that a serious waste! Whatever you say, you have to fill these hundreds of trucks.

"It's hard to find the Führer!" Wasn't Rommel Hitler's loyal henchman? Besides, at the beginning of the war, Germany really did not lack supplies, whether it was gasoline or ammunition, and Germany lacked supplies after 1944.

Originally, Rommel wanted to go to Berlin in person to find the Yuan's supplies, but at this time it was already a first-level combat readiness, and all officers above the regimental level could not leave the army.

Rommel also attached a list of supplies to the back of the telegram, a thousand tons of gasoline, a total of a thousand tons of shells of various calibers, and five hundred tons of various bullets and grenades.

These supplies look like a lot, for example, Rommel asked for a thousand tons of gasoline, but if you calculate carefully, a tank No. 4 consumes an average of 500 kilograms of fuel per 100 kilometers, 218 tanks of the 7th Panzer Division consume 100 tons of gasoline every 100 kilometers, and the 7th Panzer Division has another 800 trucks and other half-track armored vehicles.

For every 100 kilometers advanced by the Seventh Panzer Division, almost 200 tons of gasoline were consumed, and the 1,000 tons of gasoline that Rommel asked for was only 500 kilometers more than other Panzer Divisions.

Hitler, a person who trusts himself, is really heart-wrenching, and the historical Hitler is the same for Rommel, who changed Rommel from a colonel to a marshal in three and a half years, and Göring, the dead fat man, made too many mistakes in World War II, but Hitler still did not punish Goering once.
