We've arrived!

When Ensign Oak of the Rand Combat Regiment finally met Ernst. When General Brem came, he saluted the general, and then told the general in a loud voice:

"General Ernst, the Rand Combat Regiment has completed the breakthrough!"

"Good work, second lieutenant." Wang Weiyi also saluted: "What about Colonel Rand?" ”

"Report to the General, Colonel Rand has died honorably!"

Wang Weiyi's heart tightened.

"General, General Rand's only regret before he died was that he didn't get to see you in person. He hopes to have a skull badge on his corpse! ”

Wang Weiyi took a deep breath: "He will get it." Second Lieutenant Oak, who is in command of the Rand Combat Regiment now? ”

"Report to the general, I'm in command, I'm the highest-ranking officer in the Rand Combat Regiment at the moment!"

A needle pierced Wang Weiyi's heart, a combat group! Now only one second lieutenant remains, the supreme commander of the whole regiment!

"How many of you are there," Wang Weiyi asked with difficulty.

"General, there are still 211 people in the Rand Combat Regiment, of which 129 are wounded! However, we eliminated one division and one armored regiment of the enemy! We've made a breakthrough! Long live Germany! ”

Countless needles pierced Wang Weiyi's heart

"Second Lieutenant Oak, please take me to your unit!"

"Yes, General, I think it will be a reward for them to see you!" A flame of ecstasy danced in Lieutenant Oak's eyes

Saclito, 18 January 1942. Night.

The 211 German soldiers of the Rand Combat Regiment sat tiredly on what should have been a position full of Russians. Some of the wounded were moaning in pain

Several tanks were burning right next to them.

"Ernst. Alexon. Feng. General Bream has arrived! ”

When the sound reached the ears of the soldiers, the Germans were stunned. Then there was a flash of frenzy on his face. Those who are able to stand up should help their wounded companions to stand up. The seriously wounded, who couldn't get up, also tried their best to support half of their bodies.

General Ernst appeared before them

Some people trembled with excitement, some people were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes when the legendary German general and undefeated god of war finally stood alive in front of the German soldiers, who raised their right arms and vented their inner excitement with the most fanatical voices:

"Hey, Ernst! Hey – Ernst!! Hey – Ernst!! ”

What a tragic battle, what a huge casualty. At this moment, they have completely forgotten. At this moment, even if there is only the last person left in the entire Rand Battle Group, it is completely worth it for them!

Hey – Ernst!

"My soldiers. I'm so proud of you! When the soldiers' voices finally quieted down, Wang Weiyi controlled his equally excited emotions: "You have completed your mission brilliantly and opened up Saclito, which will be the life passage of countless German soldiers!" Two hundred thousand German soldiers will be grateful to you. All of Germany will be grateful to you! Your names. It will be engraved here forever! Hooray, RAND Combat Regiment! ”

"St. Ernst! St. - Ernst!! St. Ernst!! ”

The frenzy of almost pilgrimage resounded again

Wang Weiyi quieted down the soldiers again: "The RAND Combat Regiment has been disabled, but I can guarantee that the RAND Combat Regiment will always exist!" From now on, the Rand Combat Regiment will be renamed the 'Sakritto Combat Regiment', and I will be incorporating you into the Skeleton Division! ”

"Ernst! Ernst!! Ernst!!! ”

The soldiers were completely in a state of the most frantic emotions.

All the sacrifices are worth it from this moment on

Look at this group of soldiers with pride and fanaticism written all over their faces. Wang Weiyi actually had a feeling of wanting to cry at this moment.

In the siege of Demyansk, the German soldiers were almost always fighting for their lives. It's not the same as what they're trained for.

However, this is also the only way they can use it in Demyansk

Hundreds of thousands of German troops were surrounded, and they had no choice but to fight their way with their lives.

But now it's different, now it's back, and he's going to use his best possible to reduce the casualties of his troops and save more German soldiers.

And then - fight back!

He came to the body of Colonel Rand

Colonel Rand lay there quietly as if he had fallen asleep. A priest, who was also injured, was muttering prayers for him.

Wang Weiyi watched silently, then untied the skull badge on his neckline, and solemnly wore it on Colonel Rand's neckline

It was what he had dreamed of, and now he got it only that he would never know again that it was Ernst. General Bream personally wore it for him

Guo Yunfeng, who followed behind Wang Weiyi, also took off the skull badge and solemnly wore it on the collar of Ensign Oak, and then he saluted Ensign Oak:

"Second Lieutenant, I'm proud of you!"

"Thank you!" Ensign Oak's eyes were red at the moment

The officers and soldiers of the Skeleton Division followed the example of their commanders, took off their skeleton badges, and then brought them one by one for the soldiers of the Rand Combat Regiment and the Sacrito Combat Regiment.

This - they deserve it!

They also deserve the name of skeletons!

With their great sacrifice, the Sakritto Combat Regiment opened a small gap, and this passage would transport a steady stream of German soldiers.

The troops of the Skeleton Division held the main fronts of Radaf, and they must now hold back the Russian counterattack.

A large number of German soldiers arrived, and when they heard that the Skull Baron was here, almost every German soldier asked to stay and fight alongside the baron.

But the barons, without exception, all refused

He told the brave soldiers that they had to stand out! Then go to the designated location to complete the assembly, rest, and get ready for a new attack!

A new offense? New Attack!

The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they knew that since Baron Dao said it, he would definitely do it!

Soon, under the leadership of the baron, the largest counteroffensive will begin!

From the 18th to the 21st, over the course of three days, 35,000 German soldiers and wounded were evacuated from Saclito. At the same time, General Paul Hausser's 2nd Panzer Corps, after numerous stubborn assaults, also succeeded in opening two gaps in Minsosk, although these gaps only lasted two days, but also managed to rescue 15,000 German soldiers.

There were still about 150,000 German soldiers in the encirclement, who were constantly moving closer to Ladev, and this was clearly the hope for the survival of the German army in Demyansk!

Ernst. General Bram gave the death order on the night of the 21st: it must be held out until the end of January in Ladev!

Never give up on the last German soldier!

The Skeleton Master didn't have any objections! At the end of January, when General Ernst gave this order, it was a deadline that they had to fulfill!

In the early morning of the 22nd, the Ludwig battle group arrived at Sakelito and quickly joined the defensive operation. In the afternoon of the same day, the Paipa Combat Regiment and the Altino Combat Group arrived at the battlefield one after another.

On that day, the Soviet army launched a large-scale counterattack!

In the afternoon, the Vanderwiny battle group returned to the battlefield! This battle group, which served as the vanguard of the whole division, suffered heavy casualties in several days of fighting, and they successfully broke through one Soviet position after another.

They could have easily left Demyansk, but when Vandervinj said the words "Let's go back", it caused a huge cheer from the whole battle group.

On the night of the 22nd, the SS 2nd Assault Squadron of the 3rd Anti-Tank Destroyer Battalion of the Waffen-SS Skeleton Division, which served as the commando of the whole division, returned to Sakrito, under the leadership of the squadron leader, Lieutenant Blanck.

This squadron that was the first to enter the breakout operation, when they returned, there were only 29 people left!

In a few days, Lieutenant Blank led the SS 2nd Assault Squadron in 37 battles, completed nine breakthroughs, destroyed 33 Soviet tanks, and killed between 1,200 and 1,500 Soviet troops.

Lieutenant Blanck's SS 2nd Assault Squadron of the 3rd Anti-Tank Destroyer Battalion of the SS Skeleton Division is famous in the history of German warfare!

"Lieutenant Brown, you and your commando team have completed their mission and can leave with glory and pride!"

When Ernst. When General Brem said this, Blank seemed to be greatly insulted: "No, the German troops at the moment of the Demyansk battlefield must be the skeleton division!" The last person to leave the Skeleton Division must be my assault squadron! The last person to leave the assault squadron must be me! ”

Wang Weiyi took a deep breath, what do you have to regret if you have such a soldier?

"Lieutenant Blanc, you will be supplied with a hundred men, and you will be awarded a medal after the battle!" Wang Weiyi said loudly: "Everyone in the Skeleton Division will receive a medal!" Long live - Germany! ”

"Hooray—Germany!"

This cry resounded in the sky!

On January 23, 1942, when the Soviets resumed their offensive, the entire division of the Skeleton Division was engaged in a hard-fought defense.

They had no choice but to defend the gap until the last German soldier in the encirclement left!

The skeleton divisions, they acted as the vanguard of the breakthrough German army, they acted as the protector of the breakthrough German army, and they also left the last one to withdraw from the battlefield.

The Skeleton Division, starting from Dmyansk, will surely shine again on Europe! (To be continued.) )
