The final battle was about to break out, and Xia Ming did not slack off in the slightest.

At the military headquarters, the officers and men of the 27th Division were quickly reorganized and marched to the garrison where the independent battalion at the front line was located.

Most of these officers and soldiers were reinforced from the rear, and at least half were recruits. Although they have all completed training, those who have fought in war know that the battlefield and training are always two different things.

He had to dismantle his old unit and integrate it into the entire division headquarters in order to get these recruits into the battlefield as quickly as possible. Now he has the strength of a mixed division in his hands, including two artillery battalions, an engineer battalion, an armored regiment, an infantry regiment, two regular infantry regiments, plus the original independent assault battalion, he can still make a difference. At least focus on one point, and he is confident that there is no barrier that he can't attack.

The officers and soldiers looked at their new division commander and was actually General Xia Ming, and their eyes were shining, and it was a great honor to be able to fight with this legendary hero.

Since the start of the super mission, Xia Ming's mission database has added one more data.

69%, which is the actual figure for the current German occupation of Stalingrad.

While it may seem like a good number, occupying part of it and occupying it completely are two different things.

After almost three months of bloody fighting, they have only won less than 70%. Every percentage point increase is now becoming more and more difficult.

In fact, in history, the Germans occupied more than 80% of the area in November, but they were at the end of their power. The Soviets continued to fight fiercely at several key positions, increasing their troops.

If you want to turn the tide of the battle and create a miracle by relying only on one division of your own, you must first have a correct tactical idea.

He needs to have a good discussion with his comrades, and he must come up with a countermeasure quickly.

....

On the night of the 29th, Xia Ming led his troops to the garrison camp on the banks of the Volga River in the southern urban area.

The artillery battalion and armored regiment were temporarily placed in the defense zone of friendly forces on the periphery, and the main purpose of his coming here was to quickly complete the leadership of the division headquarters and form an effective command and combat effectiveness. There are also awards to these old comrades-in-arms.

"Stand up with all your might!"

When Xia Ming arrived, West had been waiting for him for a long time with some officers and soldiers. Because he still has a garrison mission, he can't bring all the soldiers to meet him.

They have been separated for almost half a month, and the old comrades-in-arms who fought together are naturally eager to see him, and they are very excited to see him.

Xia Ming walked over and hugged everyone heavily, and winked at Anna at the back, everything was silent.

Standing at the front of the line and exclaiming, "Brothers, I'm back again." I wanted to celebrate with everyone, but I'm afraid I can't, because there are even tougher battles ahead of us.

I hope everyone is ready in the next two days. ”

"Haha, that's great! It's really boring to be stationed here. You kill the enemy on the front line, and we are here to keep watch. I can't wait. My esteemed General Xia Ming. Muller was the first to speak.

Xia Ming gently patted Muller's shoulder and said, "I'm here, can I still fight without a fight?" I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it up then. ”

"When are we going to launch a general offensive again??" Joseph looked at Xia Ming with some seriousness.

"I think maybe it's just two days." Xia Ming said thoughtfully.

"yes, it's getting colder and colder, and if we don't take it again, we'll be in a dilemma." West looked into the distance and looked worried.

He has been thinking about this question lately, and it is undoubtedly self-digging to continue to consume it like this. Wait even a month, and it will be a snowy place. If it really takes until December, will it be possible to fight in the cold below minus 40 degrees Celsius?

Xia Ming nodded lightly at West and said, "Okay, let's gossip here first." I believe that the next month will be the decisive moment. As you must already know, I have now been transferred to the 27th Reorganization Division as a division commander, and you, as my old comrades-in-arms, must help you with all your might. ”

“... We have been waiting for your order for a long time. If there are any awards and appointments, let's talk about them quickly. Müller was still staring straight ahead, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

Everyone looked at him intently.

Xia Ming took a deep breath, took out the prepared epaulettes and commendation orders from his pocket, and said loudly: "Now I order, Captain West will be promoted to lieutenant colonel and the commander of the first regiment of our department." ”

"Yes!" West watched very excitedly as Xia Ming put on the major's epaulette. Upgrading as a military member is always something to be excited about.

West is calm and tenacious, and is suitable as a regimental commander in a regular army. Conventional forces are more flexible, both reinforcing and defensive, and West is the right choice.

"Lieutenant Joseph was promoted to major and was appointed commander of the assault regiment of the 2nd regiment. Second Lieutenant Harry was promoted to captain and became commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment. ”

"Yes!"

The two of them glanced at each other and were very satisfied with Xia Ming's appointment. As old comrades-in-arms who fought together, they naturally didn't want to be separated.

"Lieutenant Hook was promoted to major and became the commander of the separate armored regiment."

"Sergeant Major Muller was promoted to captain, and he was appointed commander of the commando battalion of my department to fight with me."

"Major Reims is the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment"

.....

Xia Ming quickly explained all the appointments, and many of them were newly promoted officers.

Mueller was very excited when he heard the appointment, but when he heard that Xia Ming was about to charge forward, he frowned unconsciously: "Huh? You are now a division commander and you still want to charge together?? ”

Xia Ming didn't answer his question. Generally speaking, the division commander naturally does not need to be on the front line, but he must use this ability to the extreme.

When the time comes, wearing the Star Iron Cross can also strengthen the abilities of the soldiers around you, wouldn't it be tyrannical to crouch behind?

You must know that the division commanders are all on the front line, and the team must be the life of the three armed forces. His division headquarters is afraid that it will take on a great responsibility in the future, so he will definitely go up.

However, he did not want to argue with them about it now, and continued: "Guys, I command you to go back to your respective teams now. As a new division, we have a lot of issues that need to be coordinated, and we don't have much time. I hope you will build up your team's morale over the course of two days. ”

"Yes!" All the officers saluted Xia Ming and quickly left the temporary headquarters.

Watching them leave one after another, Xia Ming sighed softly.

As the saying goes, "a big family, a big business, and a big responsibility", this division commander is not easy to do.

You must know that he was a recent graduate who didn't even have a job yet. If you say that it sounds good, it is an ordinary youth, and if you say it doesn't sound good, you are poor.

A few months of World War II journeys had changed him completely.

In the past, his life motto was "to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day", and he had an indifferent attitude towards everything. Things are procrastinating, grinding. If you don't have a pinch, you won't work hard.

When I was in school, I always worked hard in the last few months, and I was barely admitted to a key high school, and I barely got into a second book.

The huge pressure to survive has changed him from a very casual and goalless person to a tense nerve, racing against time and going all out.

A lot of things are forced.

He also understands what responsibility is now, he used to be an irresponsible guy.

His family is an ordinary working-class person, and he thinks about his parents' hard work to raise him. After graduating for a few months, I still have to rely on them to help...

When looking for a job, I always want to try my luck and make a fortune. It's very tsundere in her bones, but she doesn't actually have the ability to match.

He's going to be good, really self-reflective.

Xia Ming really wants to go back and give his parents a big hug now. Tell them that their son will never eat again and wait for him to die, and he must work hard to repay them...

It's a pity that it's a little late to understand now??

"Boss, what are you thinking?"

At this moment, Mueller couldn't help but walk to Xia Ming's side.

Since everyone left, Xia Ming looked at the stars in the sky in a daze. The expression is still very exciting, and he looks distressed.

"Uh... Nothing, why don't you leave yet? Suddenly interrupted by his thoughts, Xia Ming was slightly embarrassed.

When he came to this world, he was homesick all the time. Suddenly my mind diverged into outer space...

It's useless to think about it now, if you can't complete the final task, everything will be a floating cloud.
