Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 203: Cyprus Assault (3)

Throughout the day of August 27, the Cypress Legion was busy, the command institutions at all levels were busy looking for a place to camp, and the legion’s entry into London was confirmed to be a rumor. According to the command, the follow-up There are many tasks that this powerful legion needs to perform.

The current head of the 25th Armored Regiment of the Seventh Armored Division is Lieutenant Colonel Fred von Ludwig. The original head of the 25th Armored Regiment, Major General Russell Halon, succeeded Mueller as the seventh armored division commander. Position.

As the fiercest head of the three-headed Cypress, the seventh armored division has already been reborn. This is related to the face of the German head of state. The headquarters must of course pay attention to it.

Originally, the Sixth Armored Division was an enhanced light armored division. Half of the troops were equipped with No. 1 and No. 2 lead tin cans, and the other half drove 38t. It stands to reason that there is still a gap between the combat effectiveness and the standard armored division. Because the commander of the division was the recalcitrant Rommel, this person was solidly used to defy the superior orders in the background, and often did not follow the route on the group army’s combat plan, which led to the troop’s unpredictability on the front line. , Leng was in the French battlefield broke out the name of a ghost division. In fact, this guy's self-righteousness has offended the entire group of senior officers, and was eventually kicked to the sand of North Africa. It is also his character that determines his destiny.

The twenty-fifth armored regiment has a new look now. The main tank No. 4 has already made up three companies, and together with a No. 3 tank company has been built into a real heavy armored battalion. The other two armored battalions except for a part of the No. 3 tank and command vehicle, the rest are composed of 38t tanks. The performance of this tank is relatively balanced, and the firepower and armor can also cope with the current battle. In addition, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Armored Division are also used to this tank, and have accumulated a wealth of experience in battlefield use, and their combat effectiveness can be guaranteed.

Lieutenant Colonel Feng Ludwig leaned against his eight-wheeled armored command vehicle, carrying a lunch box of potato and beef miscellaneous soup, and the regiment logistics officer took a report to the side and reported to him the supply process of the day.

The Germans are now fighting across enemy territories across the sea, and the logistics are more burdensome than ordinary people imagine. The large-scale retreat of British coastal residents has caused the original plan of in-situ supply to be lost before it has been implemented.

The supplies consumed by the German naval regiment are an alarming number. One of the most basic food items, an infantry division consumes 22 tons of food per day, mainly potatoes and bread, other non-staple food and meat condiments and beverages have not been counted. For example, Ludwig’s 25th Armored Regiment. If you want to supply soldiers with a standard share of fresh meat, you will have to slaughter 30 pigs or 4 beef cattle every day, but this is the job of the division’s military quarters. The division has an attached slaughter company and meat processing station. They are responsible for Cattle and sheep livestock purchased nearby. Slaughtered into a variety of meat products to provide subordinate troops to eat.

"Finally, each armored company received two days of canned meat. We calculated the space in the car body and chose packed products as much as possible to reduce the burden of these logistics teams. Listen to me in the logistics of the group army. A friend of the staff said that because of the shortage of food in the city of London, our supplies may have to be divided into a group of citizens for the relief of London." The Army Quartermaster folded the form and stuffed it into a document bag around his waist. Pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, he shook one and handed it to the adjutant of the regiment standing beside him.

"Is the situation in the city bad?" Von Ludwig took a toothed folding spoon and scooped a potato into his mouth.

"I heard that there have been several riots. My friends in the Intelligence Service told me an interesting thing. They learned from the captive British officials that there were several socialist parties or district party members who led A group of hungry people shocked the high-end hotel in Westminster. They seemed to want to take the opportunity to set off a revolution.

In the end, it turned into a farce. These people wounded several chefs and waiters in order to **** the food in the restaurant. They were then beaten by the police and the police. They also found several from the leader. Faced with a red flag and some leaflets, these fools thought it was 1918 now. "The quartermaster said the news as a joke. The people present couldn't help but express a happy expression.

"Tonight, we will distribute all the fuel and ammunition. All the crews must complete all the preparations before 8:00 pm. The commander of the battalion company will go to the regiment headquarters to participate in the meeting after 8:00. We will do a big job this time. "Von Ludwig looked up and drank the thick soup in the lunch box. He turned the lunch box and shook the residual juice." Put the lunch box on the fender of the armored command vehicle beside you.

"I just arrived in an arms train in the afternoon, of which four wagons were allocated to us. One thousand rounds of 75mm shells, 250,000 rounds of machine guns, and ten thousand rounds of 50mm and 37mm shells, It should be possible to let the boys squander for a while." The quartermaster held his cigarette and pressed his lighter hard.

"I really can't figure it out. At this point, why didn't the British in the city surrender to us? At least one messenger should be sent out to negotiate. There hasn't been any movement until now. I don't know Churchill and his king. What are you thinking about?" The chief of staff of the regiment passed his cigarette butts and let the quartermaster catch the fire.

"Thank you, there may be no kerosene. I'll go to the ordnance office later and ask for a bit." The quartermaster lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, then returned the cigarette **** to the staff.

"Put all these weights in the car, we will stay in the city for a while, don't ask how long, how could I know, it depends on the order of the head of state, as long as he needs us to stay, as long as we stay." Shaq Special Lieutenant shouted to his subordinates, and he turned around and put his personal suitcase on the platform at the rear of the bucket truck.

"Don't worry, head, we have enough time." A commando walked past Lieutenant Shakte carrying the box of iron fist.

"This is the order given by the head of state personally. How many times do I have to tell you? We must do our best to complete the task given by the head of state, so that we can repay the expectations that the head of state has always expected of us."

Although the 77th Storm Commando has been separated from the jurisdiction of the Waffen SS Special Operations Team, its identity has not changed much. These people are regarded as a special symbol and are retained in the establishment of Cyprus. The head of state is the leader of the Nazi Party. How can there be no SS in his direct troops.

The 77th Storm Commando was only a company-level unit, and there were only 125 people when the officers and men were combined. However, it was a legendary combat unit in the Cyprus Army. This force has been used as a sharp-blade force directly under the Legion Command since it was incorporated into the Legion. It will never be dispatched unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because these soldiers always maintain super strong morale. Once in combat, they are like a group of irrational rabies. They ignore the danger and defy death. As long as the commander shouts "for the head of state", they will fight for fear. The ground was charged with enemy machine guns.

What's more interesting is that this group of guys still have amazing luck. After the French battle, only 15 soldiers were killed or wounded in the whole company.

Mueller received Xu Jun's reply at dinner, he immediately conveyed Xu Jun's order to the 77th Storm Commando, these people crazy love and respect the head of state, as long as Xu Jun issued They will execute immediately without any consideration.

It is said that Xu Jun was also a little stunned after receiving Mueller’s report. He had piled up a dozen similar transaction requests in front of him. Sure enough, no one was willing to break eggs when he came to the nest, and each one was anxious to jump off the tree.焢狲.

The British are not as courageous and brave as they claim to be. They don't believe in the history of Southeast Asia. They are all veteran troops with a bunch of royal titles. Churchill himself admitted in the memoirs that the Germans did not have to land many of them, as long as 150,000 German troops were enough to make the whole British island **** and ten empty.

The current performance of the British is not beyond Xu Jun's expectations. He once studied this history and knew how intriguing the interior of the British was at that time. If Fatty Fatty had made a fatal mistake, the British politicians had already He began to discuss the issue of pushing Churchill out to commit crimes as soon as the German landed, and then asked the royal family to play blood cards and knelt down to sum up.

Any government in exile is just a thing to deceive children. Everyone knows that once they leave the British mainland, with the technical ability at that time, it is impossible to regain the kingdom across the ocean. British politicians have received too many governments in exile, many of them are the black hand behind them. They know that the exiles are going to end, that is, watching their last drop of value be completely drained.

The demands of the British Army opened Xu Jun’s eyes. This group of soldiers once again refreshed the bottom line of Xu Jun’s British morale. He wanted to use the British foundation to maintain his position. This group of guys should be very clear. If their deal is concluded, Britain will never have the opportunity to turn over again.

Xu Jun wrote in his call back to Mueller: "In view of the current situation, I can only conditionally agree to some of their requests. For the corresponding details, I will send someone to talk with the counterpart. At the same time, I must remind the other party not to behave. They are too greedy. Their hole cards are not as strong as they think. Don’t try to trade with what we have obtained. Even without their participation, we can still win the final victory.

Who do they think they are? Who do they think they are facing? I’m Reinhardt von Stadt, Reinhardt the conqueror, I give reward to the obedient, and perish to the rebellious. "
