Rise from the sword

Chapter 715 Reinforcement!

Early morning hours.

Eastern line.

Romania No.90 Seventh Division, the third battalion of the fifth regiment.

"Jimmy."

Amidst the shouts of the battalion commander, Jimmy, the commander of the second company, climbed out of the trench and yawned.

They were stationed at the front line, only 130 kilometers away from Moscow, which had just been captured not long ago, and the camp facilities were not perfect, so the troops slept directly in the position.

"Captain."

Jimmy straightened the P40 submachine gun in his hand and stood at attention to salute.

"You lead the team to attack the No. [-] highland on the left flank of the position, and set off in two hours. The artillery battalion of the regiment will provide you with fire support."

said the battalion commander.

"Yes."

Jimmy salutes.

After receiving the order, Jimmy immediately assembled his infantry company, a total of 140 people, because they were all stationed in the position, so the assembly was very fast. In less than 10 minutes, the entire company was assembled.

Looking at the company in front of him, Jimmy was very satisfied.

This is a strong infantry company, well-trained, advanced weapons, and high morale.

Since June last year, the Romanian army has begun to restructure, imitating the German troops for organization, and at the same time fully equipped with German-produced weapons and trained by German instructors.

At the beginning, it was generally equipped with Mauser rifles, P40 submachine guns, MG42 general-purpose machine guns, G34 mortars, 75 short-barreled mountain guns, 105 howitzers and other weapons eliminated by the Germans, and even No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] tanks. Assault guns and other main armored vehicles.

Although the weapons were eliminated, the strength of the Romanian army still soared.

After that, together with the Germans, we fought back against the enemy and won a big victory, destroying more than 1 enemy tanks and more than [-] artillery pieces, sweeping away the haze of last year's failure for a whole year.

Morale has been greatly improved.

Then, two months later, in August last year, the situation changed again.

The troops changed gear again.

This time, the entire army is uniformly equipped with the latest German weapons, rifles and machine guns. Although the submachine guns have not been changed, they are all newly produced, and the quality has been greatly improved. The artillery is also the latest 81 mortars, 120 mortars, and 105 howitzers. , The 150 howitzer is also equipped, which has improved accuracy and range compared with the previous ones. All the tanks have been replaced with the latest No. [-] tanks, and their performance has been greatly improved compared with the previous tanks.

There is no difference in numbers from the Germans.

Military salaries are also paid directly by the Germans, and they are given Deutsche Marks. The logistics department also directly connects with the Germans for logistics supplies. There are enough fuel, shells, and bullets.

Since then, the combat power of the troops has been able to fight against the enemy's elite divisions without losing the wind.

Likewise, morale has improved again.

"go to eat."

Jimmy looked at his watch and said.

There are still two hours before the departure, eat a meal, rest for half an hour, and arrive at the front line to prepare for the attack, which is enough time.

"Yes."

Quan Lian's tone was very loud, and everyone stood upright, with solemn faces.

Obviously, the morale of this army is high and they are full of enthusiasm for the next battle.

"Disband."

Jimmy's expression grew more and more satisfied.

The high morale of his infantry companies was the result of many factors.

Not only because of successive victories, but also because the troops are equipped with German ordnance.

There is one more important factor.

While refitting their own troops, the Germans also provided assistance to the country.

A large amount of food, cotton, sugar and other daily necessities are provided to the country, as well as military-controlled materials such as fuel and medicine, which are also transported to the country by train. The Germans ask for very low prices for these materials. It is said that they are only five times the pre-war price. One-fifth, and the mandatory selling price, which can even be heard on the radio.

Therefore, domestic prices that have been soaring have been alleviated, not only returning to before the war, but even half as low as before the war.

At the same time, a large number of orders came from the Germans.

With the order, the factory began to recruit people, and the industrial people got their jobs again, and their wages were not bad. Coupled with the drop in prices, people's quality of life has been greatly improved, which is several times better than before the war.

These orders not only greatly increased the government's fiscal revenue, but after paying for the aid materials easily, there is still a large surplus, which can be used to build basic domestic facilities and increase investment in education.

The country got better all of a sudden.

Those original voices of complaints and anti-war voices gradually disappeared, but some people worried that the Germans would stop material aid.

At this time, the two countries signed a treaty of commerce.

The treaty stipulates that Germany must provide Romania with cheap food, fuel, steel bars, cement and other basic materials on time and in quantity. orders, clothing, mainly animal husbandry, etc. Of course, Romania also needs to purchase German cars, trucks and other commodities.

The amount fluctuates according to the economies of both parties.

This treaty is regarded by Chinese people as the most equal treaty in history.

Although the Germans are powerful, they still treat Romania equally. According to the official German statement, these are the respect earned by the Romanian army fighting on the front line.

This greatly encouraged the country.

It also greatly encouraged the army.

With the signing of the treaty, by the beginning of this year, those voices against the war gradually disappeared, and even if there were a few, it was found out later that they were all spies of the enemy.

And the people in the country, because of the gradual improvement of their lives and the treaty, began to strongly support the war, and people enthusiastically joined the army.

Jimmy also started to dawdle in the army and became brave, because the braver he is on the front line, the more dignity the country can gain. Of course, it is also related to his monthly salary of 150 marks, and his domestic It has something to do with the fact that the lives of the family members are getting better and better.

It is said that several other German allies have been treated in the same way, and the same changes have taken place, because the troops fought bravely at the front, won the respect of the Germans, and joined the army enthusiastically at home.

The allied armies that have recently begun to surge, as well as the sudden increase in morale, are proof.

The Germans call this treaty the Greater European Economic Treaty, which intends to establish economic integration in Europe, promote the economic development of all countries, and improve the living standards of people in all countries.

Jimmy didn't know it yet.

This grand EU economic treaty has sown the seeds of hatred in Europe.

After the war, the economic treaties were forced to expire, and the domestic economies of various countries were very miserable. The people hated Britain, the United States, and the bear. This hatred lasted for hundreds of years. Europe and the United States are extremely hated.

After the disbandment, Jimmy also went to eat with the troops.

Because of the huge amount of training, the troops are full of enthusiasm for cooking. In addition, the food on the front line is good. The food trucks deliver white bread, cheese, beef, and chicken in sufficient quantities.

After dinner and an hour's rest, Jimmy set off with the troops.

Jimmy's unit is an elite, old-fashioned unit. It came out to fight very early, and today's attack is also very smooth. With a company of troops, they attacked a small highland with only two rows of enemies stationed. It was easy.

The 120 mortars belonging to the regiment and the 82 mortars belonging to the battalion were bombarded, followed by a tank sent by the armored regiment of the division headquarters, and only paid the price of a slight injury to one person, and took the position. retreated.

After the war, Jimmy, who was leading the troops to dig a position, received another order.

"Going to the West Front?"

He looked at his head, who had just returned from the division headquarters.

"Correct."

The team battle nodded:
"Tomorrow the position will be handed over to the 57th Division. All our divisions will take the train to the Western Front to fight against the British and the Americans. There are five divisions of our troops going there together."

"An Anglo-American beast."

Jimmy's tone was excited, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Why were their lives so bad before?The domestic economy is not improving?Why did the great economic crisis 15 years ago cause so many people to have careers?Isn't it because of the exploitation of animals by Britain and the United States?

······
Eastern line.

120 kilometers outside Moscow.

A forward position of the Fifth Company of the Seventh Regiment of the 292nd Infantry Division, on a small high ground.

boom boom boom

Suddenly, the violent shelling fell, and the remaining two platoons of soldiers hid in the anti-bomb holes one after another.

"This cannon fire."

On the battlefield, listening to the sound of the artillery, the company commander swallowed enviously.

Experienced, he recognized that this is the sound of 120 mortars and 82 mortars, and there are four 120 mortars and six 82 mortars, which are much stronger than the firepower of their regiment.

They have at most two 120 mortars in a regiment.

10 minute later.

"Company commander, the enemy is attacking!"

Hearing the sound, the company commander raised his binoculars and saw about a company of troops gradually advancing towards the small high ground position where they were located under the cover of two tanks.

"It's the Romanian troops."

The deputy company commander on the side said.

"damn it."

The company commander yelled:

"Is it that good to be a slave to the German devils?"

"We have to retreat."

The deputy company commander on the side said.

"Ah."

The company commander nodded.

Although it was the Romanian troops who attacked, the German servants.

But today is different from the past. These servants are not only equipped with German weapons, their morale has also improved, and their combat effectiveness is not weak at all. They are not troops that can be dealt with casually before.

They are only one company, and it is a disabled company. The previous battle has severely reduced personnel, and there are only two companies.

And no anti-tank weapons.

Fighting can only be death.

It has also been said earlier that if you can retreat, this position must not be defended.

In less than 10 minutes of the battle, when the enemy tanks approached the position at a distance of 300 meters, the company commander and his troops fled.

······
at the same time.

West Line.

Cherbourg, center position.

"gogogo..."

Under the command of the commander, a group of American soldiers drove Sherman tanks towards an air defense tower whose top was destroyed in the distance.

From the appearance, it seems to be a super-giant air defense tower, which is one of the three largest air defense towers in the Cherbourg area. It is equipped with dual 305 naval guns and four 128 dual-mounted high-level and dual-purpose guns. The largest air defense tower.

At this time, the Anglo-American hooligans finally won one.

Wait two kilometers closer to the air defense tower.

"God!"

The American tank soldiers in the front row looked at the scene outside the air defense tower and couldn't help but call out to God.

I saw hundreds of tank wrecks scattered around this super huge anti-aircraft tower, most of them were Sherman tanks, only a few were No. [-] tanks, and this was only a scene seen from one direction.

Although this is the main direction of attack, there will definitely be tanks covering the flanks. It is conceivable how many casualties the Allied forces have suffered in order to take down this air defense tower.

Among the wreckage of the tank, there are densely packed fragments of parts. From the wings and radial engines, it can be seen that this is the wreckage of an airplane. Although it is impossible to quickly count the number, there are at least a hundred of them.

As for corpses, they exist everywhere in various postures and even forms.

"God."

"God!"

In the communication channel, a series of shouts from God sounded.

And on the flanks of the anti-aircraft tower, in those shooting windows, there are still flames shining from time to time, indicating that the anti-aircraft tower is still in the hands of the Germans.Many of the surrounding tanks are still burning, which proves that there has been fighting here.

"Attack, keep attacking."

In the channel, the order from the division commander made the tankers have to push the accelerator and continue to the front line despite the tingling feeling of the scalp.

boom····

As soon as it was started, one tank was destroyed.

"Be careful, 88 guns!"

All the tank commanders were on high alert while praying silently in their hearts.

······
Also on the Eastern Front.

Five hundred kilometers away from the front line, a supply transfer station.

"Is this the latest tank?"

A commander of the armored corps looked at the new tank in front of him and frowned:
"Isn't this the Black Panther?"

At this time, the tank transported from the cart was the No. [-] Panther tank.

According to the order of the General Staff, their three armored divisions will come here to replace with new tanks. As for the original No. [-] tanks, they will all be handed over to the newly formed servant army.

Their armored regiment was the first of three divisions because of the transport capacity of the railways.

Before coming, the head of the regiment had been thinking about what kind of tank he would change into.

But I didn't expect that it was the No. [-] tank that was replaced.

He used this thing.

Using slanted armor, 70mm tank gun with 75 times the barrel, super wide tracks, protection, firepower is indeed stronger than the Panzer IV. It is not 01:30, but if he is asked to choose a tank for his armored regiment, he Will not hesitate to choose the current diesel tank IV.

It takes one hour to drive the tank and four hours to repair the tank.

This mantra of the armored soldiers on the No. [-] tank fully explains the problem of the No. [-] tank. The mechanical performance is too unreliable-especially the engine, which is the biggest head, often catches fire and strikes.

In addition, in the fully prepared state, after adding fuel and shells, the weight of more than 46 tons is too heavy, which makes the passability of the wide track not so good.

The No. [-] tank is indeed advanced, but it is really not suitable for large corps operations. It is much worse than the existing new No. [-] tank.

"This is the latest Panzer V, with greatly improved performance and reliability."

Seeing the concern of the head of the regiment, the logistics officer in charge of the escort introduced:
"Using the latest [-]-horsepower diesel engine, which has the same technology as the diesel engine of the new No. [-] tank, and has the same reliability."

The first sentence made the head's eyes light up.

Why does the new No. [-] make all the armored soldiers love it?It is because of the almost perfect engine that its failure rate is simply a miracle, and any tank in the world must be reliable.

There is almost no need to worry about breaking down on the battlefield.

Now the Panzer V also has the same type of engine.

"The track is still a wide track, but it is changed to a single-sided road wheel. While reducing weight and improving reliability, the passability is not reduced. The off-road performance is also improved due to the increase in engine torque."

"The gun is still 70 times the diameter, but the weight has been reduced."

"..."

"The overall weight was reduced to 41 tons."

"Great."

At the end, the leader's eyes lit up.

This is simply the perfect Panzer V.

······
Native American.

port.

More than [-], that is, three divisions of American soldiers gathered here, and at the port, ten troop transport cruise ships were docking.

"Remember Pearl Harbor, remember Manhattan, remember Oak Ridge, remember the University of Chicago..."

At the forefront, an American general was howling at the top of his voice.

The place names he mentioned are all the pains of the United States, and they are places that have been bombed by the enemy.

Every location has aroused the hatred and morale of the American soldiers in the port. All of them held their heads high and held a standard military salute in their right hands, looking forward to the war in the European continent.

"We are not only for revenge, but also for the freedom of the people of the world, for the democracy of the people of the world, and for the peace of the people of the world..."

Slogans are ringing all over the sky, and cowhide is flying all over the sky.

"I'll see you in Berlin."

"See you in Berlin!"

Below, tens of thousands of people roared in unison.

"Board."

The general waved his hand.

Three divisions of American soldiers began to board the ship, and then across the Atlantic, into Europe.

At the same time, in other ports, more American soldiers took ships across the Atlantic to the European battlefield.
