Results: 2,130 American soldiers killed or wounded, 1,109 captured. Destroy more than 60% of the U.S. military's artillery and armor capabilities.

—Operational Records Office of the German Ministry of Defence, December 1965.

This was an operation, codenamed "Winter Moon", in which the 2nd Waffen-SS Panzer Corps was fully involved, and the Skeleton Division was the main attacking force.

The counterattack ended with a resounding victory for the Germans, with more than 3,000 American troops killed, wounded, and captured.

And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the miraculous Baron Alexon has returned, and as in the past, he continues to lead the German soldiers to stage the myth of undefeated.

The Allied offensive oppressed Germany could not breathe, and even Berlin was in danger, and everyone thought that the fall of Berlin was only a matter of time. But it was at such a critical moment that Baron Alexon returned!

He first led the Nordland Combat Regiment to successfully attract the attention of the enemy, allowing them to frequently transfer troops, completely disrupting their original order on the battlefield. Then, he unexpectedly appeared in the position of the Skeleton Division, and concentrated the weak forces to launch a swift and sudden counterattack, and with the help of Xiaoling and Ziguang Military Base, he won the counterattack in one fell swoop.

After dawn, Wang Weiyi did not hesitate at all, and quickly withdrew from the US military position with all the skeleton divisions......

He knows it well. The counterattack did result in victory, but it happened under unexpected circumstances for the US military. Once the Allies came to their senses, they re-engaged in a heavy counteroffensive. With the current strength of the German army, it was impossible to resist.

Constantly achieving victories, constantly breaking the enemy's confidence, accumulating small victories into big victories, and looking for the most favorable opportunities for a general counteroffensive, this is what he wants.

The officers and men of the Skeleton Division, who returned to their positions, let out the craziest cheers. They didn't cheer when they attacked, but now they can finally let their emotions go unleashed.

Baron Alexon – Field Marshal Ernst. A god-like figure. He was always able to bring incredible victories to Germany when it was impossible.

His presence was the guarantee of German victory.

Just a few days ago. No German yet thought that they would be able to win the Battle of Berlin, but at the moment they were sure of it.

Even though the enemy is still strong, although the enemy still has an absolute advantage. But so what? At least. They have Baron Alexon - the invincible Marshal Ernst!

Amid bursts of cheers, General Johnner and Colonel Colham burst into tears again, and they persevered so hard that the day had finally arrived. They exchanged their incomparable faith for a miracle!

From this minute on, they will once again be powerful skeleton divisions, and they will once again perform one miracle of victory after another!

"Ready—strike again!" Wang Weiyi unexpectedly issued such an order at this time: "Order, the Greater German Mission quickly moved closer to us. Take over the position. ”

The officers were stunned for a moment.

Strike again? God, they've just returned victorious. But. The astonishment was only short-lived, and then the officers and men of the Skeleton Division responded to the baron's order again with the cheers of the mountain and the tsunami:

Strike – Strike Again!

With the command of Field Marshal Ernst, they were fearless! With Baron Alexon under their leadership, they are bound to create new miracles!

"Marshal, the phone of General Ollitz."

Wang Weiyi took the phone, and General Ollitz's respectful voice came from the other side: "Marshal, congratulations on your victory, this is only a small victory for you, but for the whole of Germany, this will be our greatest encouragement." I have already reported your victory to the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, and I am sure that soon the whole of Berlin will find out. ”

"This victory should be deliberately exaggerated." Wang Weiyi calmly commanded. From his personal point of view, this victory will not turn the tide on the battlefield, but he still needs to know that he has returned and that he is winning. This will be a source of confidence for the people of Berlin to stay the course.

"Yes, I will do as you tell me, Baron."

"I have ordered the Großdeutsche Regiment to move closer to me and take over the position. And I will lead the Skeleton Division out of position and launch a new assault on the enemy. Wang Weiyi coldly gave an order: "Listen, I will attack with all my might, not a single soldier will be left on the position, if the Great German Regiment cannot arrive on time and the position is lost, then let their commanders take off their uniforms themselves." ”

General Ollitz and the officers and men of the Skeleton Division were stunned for a long time when they heard the news for the first time: "Marshal, are you going to throw in a new counterattack again?" Ah, yes, I will personally give orders to the Großdeutschram...... No, it should be said that I will convey your orders. Break a leg. All for Germany. ”

"All for Germany." Wang Weiyi hung up the phone, and his eyes fell on the high-spirited officers and soldiers of the Skeleton Division: "Are you ready?" ”

"All for Germany - thought it was for Ernst!"

In such a loud response from the officers and soldiers, Wang Weiyi jumped on his "Leopard" tank again: "Attack!" ”

Offense - Germany – offense!

The sound of artillery, which had just disappeared, once again roared on the battlefield.

The German officers and soldiers who had won the first counterattack rejoined the new counterattack with high morale!

Here's a scene that makes Americans unbelievable:

They suffered a whole night, and only after they were sure that the Germans had retreated, did they return to their positions in fear. However, before they could gather the corpses of their comrades, the Germans roared again!

The overwhelming cry, the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, made the Americans' liver and gallbladder burst. Suddenly they remembered the terrible thing that had happened last night!

Even General Corrette had no idea that the second attack of the Germans would come so quickly......

He watched in amazement at the returning enemies. Dumbfounded at such a familiar and unfamiliar shout. For the first time, he felt terrible.

He had never been afraid, he had never doubted that victory would belong to the United States, but this time he was really afraid.

What kind of force could make the German army on the verge of defeat burst back with such tremendous energy? Who was there directing the Germans in full swing of counterattacks? What kind of person is there to perform such a miracle? Oh, my God. General Corrit really wanted to give himself an answer......

But who can give him an answer? The Germans, who were ferociously approaching the position, seemed to be telling the enemy in their own unique way:

The barons are back, and so is the invincible Germans!

The American troops, who had just "recaptured" their positions, had no determination to resist under the strong German offensive at all, and they did not hesitate to turn around and run, this time the speed of escape was much faster than last night.

It's not that the combat effectiveness of the US military is low. But they were really scared last night, and the second counterattack of the German army came too suddenly, so that they were not mentally prepared for anything.

Once fear pierced into someone's heart. Then there is simply no way to get rid of the ...... in a short period of time

So, without General Crett's order, the U.S. troops once again ceded their positions......

Shame, this is a shame that I can't get rid of in my life...... In just a dozen hours. I actually lost my position twice. What could be more humiliating? General Corrit looked at everything in front of him and thought sadly and helplessly.

He was eager to meet the enemy's commander, more than anyone else......

The positions were littered with German flags and the battle flags of the Skeleton Division. The heroic skeleton division soldiers vented their inner madness and excitement to the fullest. Once the Baron returns, victory and glory return to this heroic ranks!

"Advance to Iber!" Amidst countless cheers, Wang Weiyi said calmly: "All the skeleton divisions, quickly advance towards Ibor, I want to disrupt all the deployment of the allied forces!" ”

"Yes. Marshal! This time, Jonner did not hesitate in the presence of Field Marshal Ernst.

When they advanced towards Ibor. There will be bombardment from the enemy's sky and interception from the ground, but what does it matter? Even if they don't have anything, they have something that their enemies will never have in their lifetime:

That's the Skeleton Baron!

The entire skeleton division has completely fallen into the frenzy of victory with the victory of two consecutive counterattacks in a short period of time. As soon as the order was given, all the officers and men of the Skeleton Division marched forward with their armored vehicles.

- Advance to Igor - Advance to victory!

It was an unstoppable momentum, a confidence that could destroy any force!

They will attack Ibor and reinforce the Nordland Fighting Regiment there, and they will continue to face a large number of enemies, but what is there to fear?

On the battlefield, it was the loud singing of the officers and soldiers of the Skeleton Division as they advanced. On the battlefield, it was the German tweeter that was hoarsely broadcasting moving news to all the German officers and soldiers:

"Field Marshal Ernst has returned—Field Marshal Ernst personally commanded the Skeleton Division to complete two counter-attacks—Field Marshal Ernst continues to perform miracles...... Who can stop the baron? Who could stand in the way of Germany's victory? Fight, German soldiers, for Germany - for the baron! Let's fight! Let's fight!! ”

The soldiers' cries were so loud that they even overpowered the loudspeakers. Most of them have survived the Baron's glory countless times, but this is the first time they have fought under the Baron's command.

The baron, who had just returned, told these German soldiers with two beautiful counterattacks:

There is no doubt that I—will lead you to victory!

When the German army was boiling with enthusiasm, when the German army was in high spirits, the German enemies were plunged into chaos......

Westmoreland, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, was the last to believe this, and he never believed that Baron Skeleton had really returned. The so-called return of the barons is nothing more than a lie concocted by the Germans on the verge of defeat to boost morale!

However, for more than ten hours, the 2nd Panzer Cavalry Division suffered one defeat after another. But he had to pay close attention to it. For this purpose, General Corrit was urgently summoned.

At the Allied High Command, General Corrit was speechless to consider his commander. Not because of failure, but because he simply couldn't say why.

"The enemy's artillery fire is so powerful and fierce that I didn't expect it at all......" General Corrit said stubbornly, "It was too sudden, the attack was too sudden, and the enemy's powerful artillery fire destroyed most of our artillery and armor in an instant, and we didn't have time to make any adjustments." The enemy has already rushed forward. And they were victorious very quickly......"

"And what about their second attack? Is it also a cover with powerful artillery fire? Westmoreland asked coldly.

General Corrit smiled bitterly: "No, to be honest, I can't imagine that the enemy will attack again in such a short time. I guess that responsibility will be on me. ”

Westmoreland glanced at his subordinates in annoyance, and then his chief of staff, Brigadier General Colfi, hurriedly walked in: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the radio on the German positions is hyping up their victory, and repeating there that this is the battle commanded by Baron Alexon......"

"Nope. I tell you again. There's nothing possible about it! Westmoreland cried out angrily, "The hellish skeleton baron is dead, there is no hell skeleton baron, don't be fooled by this hellish skeleton baron." ”

The angry cries silenced the headquarters. The commander-in-chief has three "hellish skeleton barons" in a row, does he expose his fear of the baron in his heart?

Of course, Westmoreland would never admit it.

After venting his inner emotions, Westmoreland became a little calmer: "What about the intelligence department? Any intel on that damn skeleton baron? ”

This time it turned out to be "Damn Skeleton Baron", Brigadier General Colfi shook his head: "No, there is no definite news from the intelligence services yet. They are stepping up their investigation. But from what we know so far, the Germans were already convinced that their skeleton baron had returned. This is confirmed by the internal lines that we have planted in the German army. The attack launched last night. Stoke of the German 2nd Panzer Corps. Admiral Ollitz confirmed the order to counterattack issued in the name of Field Marshal Ernst......"

Westmoreland was silent...... He didn't believe that the Skeleton Baron would ever live, but what if it was true?

It was an undefeated myth on the battlefield, a feared military commander. He has a miraculous power, he can turn stones into gold, he can turn decay into magic, and he can turn all impossible things into possibilities. Westmoreland had heard enough of these claims.

It is precisely because of this that Westmoreland, like everyone else, has always had a deep-seated fear of the Baron...... Although, in front of his own subordinates, he would never admit it......

"I still have that opinion, there is no such thing as a baron." Westmoreland lifted his spirits: "I once said that even Ernst. . . Bram is still alive, and he must not be able to adapt to the current war, or this can give us a chance to defeat the Skeleton Baron, the so-called undefeated myth on the battlefield! ”

Some smiles appeared on the faces of his men...... Although the commander's words are a bit unreliable, at least it is a good encouragement......

"You, General Corret, return to your command." Westmoreland gave his own order: "Don't let the enemy make a third attack and succeed, or you'll let your pride as an American officer be lost." ”

"Yes, Mr. Commander, I won't have another failure." General Corrit replied loudly, of course, his voice seemed a little unconfident.

"Where is the Skeleton Master now? Did they go back again? Westmoreland asked, looking at the map.

"No, there isn't." Brigadier General Korfi's answer came as a surprise: "According to aerial reconnaissance, they are rapidly approaching Ibor." ”

"What? Ibor? Westmoreland was taken aback, and immediately understood what the other party meant: "They are going to provide reinforcements to the trapped German army in Iber, and we must not let them succeed!" The order was given to the air force to bomb with all its might, and Brigadier General Badge on the Igor side intensified the offensive of the Nordland Combat Regiment to be sure to recapture Igor before the Skeleton Division arrived. Order, the 11th and 12th Infantry Divisions quickly moved closer to Ibor and formed a siege on the Skeleton Division! ”

"Yes, Mr. Commander, I give your order at once!"

"Let Ibor be the burial place of the Skeleton Baron!" Westmoreland tapped the map hard: "There, it will be the place where he suffered his first defeat, there, it will be his nightmare!" His time is over, and now, it is the beginning of an era of American power! ”

Colfi nodded silently, but at this time he suddenly had some strange thoughts in his heart, could it be that Mr. Commander's heart already believed that the Skeleton Baron was still alive? Could it be that Mr. Commander is desperate for the glory of defeating the Skull Baron?

But is he really sure of that? Is he really capable of accomplishing miracles that his predecessors have not?

You must know that he is facing a skeleton baron who is constantly creating miracles!

It wasn't clear to Coffey if Westmoreland would be able to do the things he had in mind! (To be continued......)
