There will be no weaklings in our valiant, honorable, senseless SS, maybe today you feel a little fear of the strength of the enemy, but you should not be afraid, because there are comrades who stand on the same front as you, they will use their lives to protect your safety, if you are a man with backbone, you should let fear turn into strength, let passion resound in the sky!!
Today we are not fighting alone, we have air support, powerful air support, they will send to hell those who dare to peep into our ring defensive positions, we are not alone, the great Führer is waiting for the news of our victory, we are not fighting alone, our relatives are waiting for our triumphant figure.
All for Germany, my brothers, hold on to the steel guns in your hands, let us bravely face the stormy battle, and sing our oath aloud together, attack! Offensive!! Attack again!! ”
Zhang Jun's voice was heard from hundreds of loudspeakers in all directions, and all SS soldiers could clearly hear Zhang Jun's passionate pre-war mobilization speech, passion burned in every SS soldier, and the battle soared into the sky, they roared the SS oath and began the first round of attacks:
"Whether our people or our soldiers, whether they are in the cold trenches, or in the midst of a scorching barrage. When they heard Holst. Wiesel's Song They will never feel lonely and helpless, even if one day we will no longer be able to lift the side that we pulled from nothing
The flag, the younger generation will look forward to today - will be held tightly in their hands! ――
"You have the honor of being a brave and loyal SS soldier all your life." ――
"Every comrade-in-arms is my sibling, regardless of origin or status. I will show the firmness and unity of the family to be together forever. ”――
"Respect the troops, respect my commanders. Discipline and friendship are strength, courage and loyalty are virtues. ”――
"Glory in swearing allegiance to the great leader." ――
"I'm dressed without fault; My words and deeds are humble and respectful; My living room is always tidy. ”――
"As an SS soldier, I had to undergo severe training; Maintain the weapon as if it were my most precious possession; Always keep your body in tip-top condition. ”――
"The task given to you is like a death order, and I must do whatever it takes." ――
"There are no emotions and six desires when fighting. Respect for the defeated enemy. Never give up, whether you are injured or killed. Never surrender under any circumstances. ”――
"The will of the Führer is above all else, and the Führer's command is above all truth and law. Unconditional obedience must be achieved. "I'd rather be a bunch of skeletons than fight to the end!? This is our immortal spirit!? Enough for the enemy to kneel at our feet and cry,? We have no way back? Only offense! Offensive! On the offensive! ……? The spirit of the Führer has always encouraged us, and the fighting spirit never dies? This immortal belief sustains the blood of the empire? Supporting the strong combat effectiveness of the Emperor ** Regiment? The road ahead is still difficult? Warriors don't retreat? Are the people of the Motherland watching us? The Great Führer is praying for us? Advance!? Advance!? Bayonets tear through this ugly world!? The day the storm stopped? That's when we win!?? The air is filled with tension, and the big war is coming,? Tears crossed the mother's face, and the motherland was behind her,? The footsteps of the enemy could be heard in the distance, and the earth was trembling. It's time to defend justice, and the blood is already surging,? The last leaf on the dry branch was knocked off by the cold wind,? Lightning tore through the heavy darkness in the distance, and behold, it was the 1st SS Panzer Corps advancing. ”
……
Rommel took the lead in attacking, the attack position of the "Skeleton Division" was due north of Warsaw, the attack position of the "Imperial Division" was due south of Warsaw, and the attack position of the "Viking Division" was due east of Warsaw.
The only small change was that Rommel's own tank assault division sent a telegram requesting instructions, which roughly meant that General Vincent wanted to personally command Weitmann's tank assault group, this temporary change of general, Rommel really couldn't be the master, and hurriedly sent a report to ask Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun thought for a short time and agreed to General Vincent's request, because Italy will be of great use to Zhang Jun in the future, It is also important now to train a general who can fight.
Vincent got his wish to obtain the command of the "Viking Division" tank assault group, and at the same time, the rest of the forces of the entire "Viking Division" will be centered on Vincent's tank assault group to carry out tactical arrangements, that is to say, all the firepower and strength of the "Viking Division" will cooperate with the tank assault group commanded by General Vincent, and they are the attack hammer of the entire "Viking Division".
"Offensive ......"
Vincent is still very handsome, the brown head flower, because of the long bath in the sun, and the original fair skin has turned into a wheat color, but it can show the majesty and masculinity of the soldiers.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"
Suddenly, the tanks roared and sped towards their respective targets, and the armor and direct-fire artillery behind them also followed closely behind the tank, and everywhere the tanks and armor went, there was dust covering the sky and the sun.
Vincent's tactical arrangement is like this, one hundred and fifty-one tanks, (tank No. 3344 hanged) were divided into five roads by Vincent, each with thirty tanks, from the five adjacent junctions east of Warsaw, such an advantage is to maximize the deployment of the maximum number of troops on the front line, the disadvantage is that the attack surface is much larger, and at the same time, will it be blocked because of the attack, and the follow-up is weak, you must know that all the attacks of the "Viking Division" must be completed independently, Zhang Jun cannot give them a single soldier to support, Zhang Jun is now a tank division plus an infantry division to deal with, but it is 300,000 Polish troops, and if they don't transfer their troops, how can they have the strength to support them.
Rommel, like Zhang Jun, will never interfere with the tactical arrangement of the first-line commander, since Vincent is the commander of the first-line, what Rommel has to do is to fully support the success of Vincent's tactical arrangement.
The attack on Warsaw was not even bombed by aircraft, and Hartmann's aviation division also had a heavy task, the strength of one aviation division had to annihilate a Polish infantry division in the air and delay the prevention of three divisions, so to speak, the pilots of Hartmann's aviation division would soar in the sky the rest of the time except for refueling and reloading on the ground. Hartman is an airplane and it is impossible to send out.
As soon as Vincent's tanks departed, the cannons of the "Viking Division" began to roar, and their direct target was the section of the city that Vincent was about to attack, and the shells of 150 mm, 105 mm, and 75 mm cannons fell on the city of Warsaw.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The east side of Warsaw was filled with smoke in an instant, countless buildings collapsed in the explosion, the artillery fire was unprecedentedly fierce, and countless building materials were carried up into the air by the explosion, and then fell down one after another, before they landed, and soon they were carried higher by the next explosion.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Knock knock ......"
The Shanzhai Type 99 tank slowly drove to the edge of the city of Warsaw, and at about 500 meters, Vincent used a walkie-talkie to inform the artillery to stop firing, you must know that Warsaw City was a large city in Europe at that time, with a population of more than 1.5 million people, and the city area was more than 100 square kilometers, and it took 100,000 tons of shells to blow up the city of Warsaw into ruins, so Vincent did not let the "Viking Division" continue to waste shells, you must know that now all the supplies of the SS are the 3,000 taels of trucks, each truck is 5 tons, It can also bring 15,000 tons of materials, and it can be said that these strategic materials are now a major event related to life and death.
"Attack slowly, speed 20 per hour, all the soldiers who coordinated support got out of the car, and the armored vehicle support distance was three hundred meters."
Vincent deliberately finished the order in a hurry, retracted his body back into the copycat Type 99 tank, and closed the window door on the top of the tank, Vincent led the lower third group, and Weitman led the fifth team.
"Woo...... Bang...... Knock knock ......"
Shanzhai Type 99 roared lowly, and his huge body slowly ran over the streets of Warsaw, Vincent's Shanzhai Type 99 was in the first combat position, because he was now the boss, and Zhang Jun would never allow it if he knew.
The Cottage Type 99 drove slowly into the streets of Warsaw, which were covered with all sorts of broken bricks and broken door frames or furniture, all of which were the result of the shelling, and only a few militiamen who had been killed by the shelling could only be seen occasionally, except for a red cloth sleeve on their arm, an old-fashioned rifle with a few grenades on their waists, and that was all the militia was armed.
Vincent continued to slow down the car, basically keeping it at a speed that the infantry could keep up, about 5 kilometers per hour, of course the tank could not be so slow, Vincent told the tank to advance a distance of twenty to thirty meters, and then stopped, while waiting for the infantry behind, and the armored vehicles were three hundred meters away to support, they could only use MG42 machine guns to shoot at the enemy high on both sides of the street.
After advancing for about three hundred meters, Vincent did not meet a single enemy, and for the first time Vincent commanded such a street battle in a tank division, and did not dare to be careless, and ordered a part of the two thousand soldiers who followed the tank to divide into four groups, each group of five hundred people, one group was responsible for attacking the left side of the street, the second group was responsible for attacking the right side of the street, three groups followed the tanks, and the fourth group was used as a reserve, and there was danger to go to support there.
Groups 1 and 2 carried a large number of "iron fists", grenades and flamethrowers, and the main task of these two groups was to clear the Polish troops on both sides of the street.
"Dada...... Da Da ......"
Suddenly, a Czech light machine gun suddenly appeared two hundred meters to the right, firing rhythmically, and an SS soldier was shot in the head because he raised his head too high, and half of his head was cut off by a Czech light machine gun. Others hide behind the windowsill, how can they shoot the enemy.
The Polish soldier quickly ran out of bullets from his machine gun and was about to run away with his Czech light machine gun.
"Boom ......" (To be continued.) )
