At 6 a.m. on January 16, on the battlefield of Dmiyansk.

The gap in the encirclement was re-encircled with the arrival of a large number of Soviet troops on the battlefield.

But before that, the Germans had transported 4,500 wounded and managed to break through more than 10,000 German troops.

Moreover, after receiving the order of General Ernst, the Paipa's combat regiment had completed the convergence with the skeleton division. And what is even more gratifying is that with the support of the SS Panzer Division, the SS "Altino" battle group stubbornly tore a hole in the Soviet position on the left flank of the Skeleton Division, and successfully sent 35 Tiger tanks and 20 self-propelled guns in!

The opening of the Altino battle group was regrouped by the Soviets three hours later.

But the Germans were not reconciled to this, and at 1 p.m. on the 16th, the tenacious and surprising SS Panzer Division tore a gap on the Western Front for the second time, and Wang Weiyi quickly ordered the Ludwig battle group as the rearguard to reinforce and ensure the safety of this opening.

A large number of besieged German troops broke through along this lifeline, and as the Germans broke through, the supply troops also entered the encirclement, and they sent a large number of supplies. This includes plenty of food, ammunition and tank shells, winter clothing, and even some Tiger tank engines and spare parts.

The tenacity and sacrifice of the SS are awe-inspiring.

They came at the right time, and after repeated fierce battles, the Skeleton Division's weapons and ammunition were about to run out, and the arrival of supplies made the Skeleton Division once again glow with strong combat effectiveness.

Now, Wang Weiyi's strength has been further strengthened.

Paipa Combat Regiment, Altino Combat Group. These were the most elite units of the German army.

The arrival of Tiger tanks and self-propelled guns also gave Wang Weiyi the confidence to continue to negotiate with the Soviet army.

At 5 p.m. on the 16th, the encirclement was once again closed by the equally tenacious Soviet troops.

Tear, close, tear again, close again. After bloody battles and fights again and again, the German and Soviet armies have been completely red-eyed in the Radev area

And by this time, the Germans, who were once again in the encirclement, had nothing to fear.

The skeleton divisions that were responsible for tearing apart the gaps in the Soviet army and covering the retreat of the German army, their will to fight was so high.

In Radev, when the Skeleton Division, the Paipa Combat Regiment, and the Altino Combat Group learned of their beloved Ernst Battlegroup. For the third time, General Bream refused the request of the High Command for him to break out alone. And when he decided to fight his soldiers to the end, the earth-shaking cry resounded on the battlefield!

Long live – Ernst. Brahm!

Three times he refused the order to retreat alone, but the breakout had been torn open. But he always fought with his own soldiers. At the most critical moment on the battlefield, it was he who commanded 11 Tiger tanks to resist the attack of 200 Soviet T34 tanks!

What he made his soldiers respect was not the victory after victory he achieved on the battlefield, but his spirit of sacrifice. It is the firm belief that no one will be abandoned!

Right now. All the German troops here have an equally strong faith:

We're with him!

A story was circulating among the German soldiers: the third telegram from the High Command, addressed to the Reich Führer Adolf. Hitler personally sent to General Ernst, in a telegram in which the Führer told him to evacuate almost in a pleading tone, and that the Richthofen Air Force Commander had mobilized more than 500 planes to reinforce him at any time, and that the troops of Manstein and General Guderian were ready to respond.

But General Ernst's call back contained only one sentence:

"Here I am, I'm leaving with the last German soldier!"

I left with the last German soldier!

This phrase revived the greatest fighting enthusiasm of the German soldiers - for the sake of the general, attack!

With the eruption comes out. It's a frenzied fighting zeal. Every German soldier was ready:

Defend General Ernst with your own life!

All people can die here. But General Ernst can't!

He is the symbol of Germany, he is the pride of Germany! With him, even the last German soldier has been killed, and Germany can still win the war!

This kind of fanatical belief is unimaginable to the soldiers of any country.

"General, more than 10,000 German soldiers are approaching here! At the same time, more than 30,000 German soldiers also received news of a retreat to the Radev area! Colonel Caplo hurried over.

"The breakout must be torn open in Radfu for the fourth time!" Wang Weiyi groaned: "Can the soldiers continue to fight? ”

"Yes, General!" Caplo's answer was so categorical: "The soldiers are willing to die for you!" The soldiers are willing to tear the gap under your command and then act as a covering force! For your sake, the Skeleton Division is willing to fight to the last soldier! ”

"I need them alive!" Wang Weiyi's face was solemn: "Order, the Paipa Combat Regiment will launch a surprise attack in the west, and assign it to the Third Armored Artillery Regiment; The Altino battle group launched an attack on the Eastern Front, assigned to their 3rd Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion. Ordered, the Van der Winny battle group launched an attack at Bloomingdon. I will personally command the Ernst battle group to launch a surprise attack on the 13th Panzer Corps of the Soviet Army! ”

Kaplo was stunned: "The 13th Armored Army? General, that is the ace unit of the Soviet army under the command of Lieutenant General Magfedruff. ”

"Trump?" Wang Weiyi smiled contemptuously: "I have seen many ace troops of the enemy, but there is nothing. Let all the troops prepare and throw themselves all into the attack in half an hour! ”

"Yes, General!"

"Tell all the breakout troops that they must arrive within three hours, and we will tear the encirclement apart at this time!"

"Understood, General!"

Wang Weiyi tidied up his officer's brimmed hat: "Four knives, are you ready to go back to the battlefield?" ”

"Well done, General." Guo Yunfeng replied loudly.

"You will command the 3rd Armored Engineer Battalion, and in addition to attacking with me, you will also blow up as many Russian positions as possible."

"No problem, General."

Wang Weiyi smiled, his subordinates, who don't talk much, will always be the most trustworthy

At 7 o'clock in the night of January 16, under the command of Wang Weiyi, the skeleton division launched another attack on the Soviet army.

And Wang Weiyi, who personally commanded the Ernst battle group, directly aimed at the most difficult bones recognized by the German army in Demyansk:

13th Panzer Corps of Magfedruff!

No one can call himself a "trump card" in front of the Skull Baron, no!

At 7 o'clock, Wang Weiyi concentrated all his artillery fire and fiercely bombarded the Soviet position.

When the first breakthrough was made, everyone thought that it would be at night as usual, but Wang Weiyi chose to break through during the day. And when everyone thought that General Ernst would continue the old-fashioned practice of the First World War and try not to fight at night, Wang Weiyi chose to break through at night!

No one can really hold Ernst. What was General Bram thinking

The re-replenished artillery and anti-tank guns frantically threw shells at the Soviet positions on the opposite side, and the flames from the explosion illuminated the night sky in an instant.

The Soviets simply could not figure out what the Germans were trying to do! From day to night, the Germans are doing only one fucking thing:

Offense, offense, non-stop offense!

Don't these damned Germans know what fatigue is?

The artillery fire seemed to be crazy, and looking at the rising flames from the Soviet positions, the soldiers of the skeleton division were a little impatient.

They can't wait to go on the offensive right now!

Wang Weiyi did not give the order to attack for a long time, he must use powerful artillery fire to completely suppress the Soviet army!

Achieving the greatest victory with the least cost is applicable on any battlefield!

Finally, when the opposite position was blown to pieces, and those Soviet troops were bombed to the point that they were helpless, Wang Weiyi jumped onto a Tiger tank:

"Attack!"

Just these two simplest words, but at that moment, the greatest, most fanatical, and most crazy fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers of the Skeleton Division burst out!

Go ahead, Skeleton Master!

Seeing the 3rd Armored Engineer Battalion commanded by Guo Yunfeng passing by him, Wang Weiyi stopped Guo Yunfeng, and then asked in Chinese:

"Four Swords, what's the difference between this and the Chinese battlefield?"

"Here we have strong artillery support." Guo Yunfeng said lightly.

Wang Weiyi smiled: "Yes, we have the most powerful artillery support, and when it is dawn, the Luftwaffe will be desperate to reinforce us." Go for victory, Captain Guo Yunfeng. ”

"I think I can be a colonel." Guo Yunfeng muttered, and then he said loudly: "The Third Armored Engineer Battalion, forward!" ”

Wang Weiyi laughed loudly, yes, Guo Yunfeng can be a general, but captain, but before the First World War, Guo Yunfeng won the highest military rank "during his lifetime".

"Forward, forward! Kill the Russians! ”

"Tank, speed up!"

"What are you doing with the 3rd Armored Communications Battalion? Do you want to let those damned infantry overtake us? ”

"Hey, hey, don't let those guys from the 3rd Communications Battalion overtake us, forward, forward!"

Amidst the cries one after another, the all-out offensive of the Skeleton Division began!

The guys in the third field correspondents' platoon kept faithfully recording this scene with the cameras in their hands:

Groups of brave and fearless German soldiers, armed with MP38, MP40 submachine guns, or 98K Mauser rifles, followed the tanks into a tidal attack. Soon, these photos will appear in all the major newspapers throughout Europe! And then there will be another storm of fanatical barons throughout Europe!

And on one of the Tiger tanks, standing is their most beloved general:

Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Marshal Bream!

Go ahead, Skeleton Master! (To be continued.) )
