Chapter 447: The sleepless hell undead army! Become famous in one battle!
[Commander Ike received the order.]

[He also informed the entire division of the importance and danger of this mission.]

【And said that those who dare not go can stay. 】

[Of course no one dared to go. The morale of the entire Skeleton Division was high, and they rushed towards the encirclement with a roar.]

【Their target is a small town.】

[Although it is a small town, it is also the last retreat route for the German army in the Demyansk area. ]

【And near the Demyansk encirclement. 】

[The total number of Soviet troops reached more than 30, with more than 500 tanks and more than 1000 artillery pieces.]

[Compared to the German troops here, they have an advantage of more than two or three times. ]

[The key point is that the German troops in the encirclement had tried to break out before, but were repelled by the fierce firepower of the Soviet army. ]

[The losses of heavy equipment, supplies, and personnel were extremely severe.]

[The combat effectiveness has seriously declined. ]

[It's good enough to hold the position, it's hard to launch a threatening counterattack against the Soviet troops on the periphery.]

[After the SKELETON DIVISION arrived at the position, it took two or three days to build fortifications.]

【Then, in the snowstorm, the Soviet offensive arrived. 】

[First, there was a cluster bombardment of Katyusha rocket launchers, artillery fire washed the ground! ]

【Then came the Soviet army's iron torrent attack. 】

[At this time, both wings of the Soviet army have already arrived, and the 300,000 or 400,000-strong army is charging straight at the Totenkopf Division's position! ]

[Originally, the Soviet army thought that this pincer attack would be very smooth.]

[But I didn't expect the Skeleton Division's resistance to be so fierce! ]

[Don't be fooled by the composition of the Skeleton Division, they are just a bunch of hooligans. 】

【But after military training and the baptism of war. 】

[These people have become experienced veterans with rich combat skills. ]

[As soon as the Soviet T34 tanks rushed into the position, they were hit by anti-tank fire from all directions.]

[After much difficulty, they rushed into the vicinity of the German position, but the fearless SS Division performed various close-range anti-tank exercises.]

[It caused heavy damage to the Soviet tank forces. ]

[The Soviet army was eager to take over this position and complete the encirclement of the German army.]

[And the Skeleton Division has more than 10,000 people, and none of them sleep! They fight all day long! ]

[According to the survivors' recollections, the battle lasted almost 24 hours a day.]

【They fought off wave after wave of Soviet attacks. 】

[The Soviet army also gave up all tactics and just rushed forward in waves. ]

[After more than 20 days of continuous fighting, the defense line of the SS Division has been riddled with holes. ]

【Many troops were divided and surrounded.】

[These surrounded soldiers of the Totenkopf Division were left without supplies and without any communication with their superiors, so they could only fight on their own.]

[Under these circumstances, they still held on to their small position.]

【Continue to fight the Soviet army to the death.】

[When anti-tank ammunition is insufficient, infantrymen are deployed on a large scale with grenades to blow off the tank tracks, and then use magnetic anti-tank mines to destroy the tanks.]

[The bullets are all gone.]

[They held bayonets and pistols and engaged in close combat with the Soviet army. ]

[Many people had their limbs blown off, but continued to fight without noticing.]

[A surviving soldier said: "When I ran out of bullets, I hugged the Soviets and bit them with my teeth."]

[“The Soviets are afraid of us because we are so crazy that even I feel strange about us.”]

[“I acted so crazy that I’m scared when I think about it afterwards!”]

[“I shot at the Soviets desperately, just like I was executing a prisoner, one shot at a time.”]

[“A Soviet bayonet stabbed my thigh, but I didn’t feel any pain because I was so excited at the time!”]

……

[And the Skeleton Division is not only fierce in combat, but also has a very long endurance! ]

[It's like taking drugs! ]

【I don’t know what tiredness is! 】

[I don’t know what rest is! ]

[It’s non-stop work every day, from morning till night, from day till night, from the first week to the last week.]

[Generally speaking, the army would be very tired after fighting for several days. ]

[The Skeleton Division fought for four weeks straight against a force dozens of times larger than its own! ]

[Not only did they hold the main position without rest or rotation. ]

[Even after completing the mission, they continued to stay in the position and fight the Soviet army to the death.]

[During the final retreat, they were able to organize a counterattack. ] [A group of exhausted troops successfully fought their way out of the Soviet army and broke out of the Soviet encirclement. ]

Outside the sky.

The ancient people were confused when they saw the performance of the Skeleton Division.

Brave and good at fighting, fighting to the death.

This is understandable to the ancients.

But this kind of continuous fighting like the Skeleton Division,

A reckless way of fighting.

I just can't understand it at all.

This is not a group of people called the Skeleton Division.

This is simply a group of real skeletons fighting.

tomorrow.

Emperor Jiajing was also shocked by the Skeleton Division's crazy and continuous combat capabilities.

"How come these Skeleton Divisions are so good at fighting? Did they take some magic medicine?"

"This way of fighting is simply not human."

"It's impossible that the Skeleton Division is actually a group of living dead commanded by the Taoist priest."

And in the Three Kingdoms.

He Yan, the most handsome man in Wei State, said in confusion:

"These German soldiers are having so much fun, it's like I took too much Wu Shi San."

……

【After the battle, the Totenkopf Division suffered more than 80% casualties. 】

[There were only more than 1 troops in total, but they lost more than 1 people. ]

[After the Battle of Demyansk, the Soviet Union announced that it had wiped out more than 5 German troops and destroyed hundreds of German aircraft.]

[The German army claimed that only more than 6000 people were killed. ]

[More than 20,000 people were injured, and more than 20,000 people suffered from frostbite and disease.]

[In addition, Germany also claimed that more than 8 Soviet soldiers were killed and 15 were injured in the Battle of Demyansk.]

【After considering all of this, it can be confirmed. 】

[The Soviet army's encirclement campaign not only failed to kill 13 German troops, but also caused losses of at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.]

[This battle also made the SS, especially the Death's Head Division, famous. ]

【It has been highly recognized by people from all walks of life in Germany.】

[Generally speaking, if a unit loses more than 50% of its establishment, it may be disbanded. ]

【The Totenkopf Division, which had lost more than 80% of its troops, was not disbanded.】

[Instead, they were pulled back to rest and received strong reinforcements. ]

[It was renamed the Panzergrenadier Division, and its status in the entire German army instantly became the absolute trump card! ]

[New equipment will be given priority to SS troops such as the Death's Head Division.]

[After the repairs were completed, the Totenkopf Division returned to the Eastern Front and continued to play the role of their trump card.]

[In the face of such an impressive record, even the Wehrmacht leader von Manstein wrote in his memoirs:]

[“The discipline of the Skull Division left a good impression on me.”]

【“It refers to their good marching discipline.”】

[“This is an important prerequisite for the smooth advance of motorized troops.”]

[“The Skeleton Division is as fierce as a tiger when attacking and as solid as a rock when defending.”]

[“I have commanded the Death’s Head Division many times. They are the best SS unit I have ever commanded.”]

[And the Soviet Army also spread the name of the SS Division. ]

[It is claimed that if you do not have more than five times the number of troops, you should not fight against the Skeleton Division. ]

[Add to that most of the members of the Skeleton Division, and they are just a bunch of beasts. ]

[They committed all kinds of atrocities in the occupied areas, killing people without mercy, and torturing and killing prisoners of war and civilians as if it were commonplace.]

[As this notoriety spread, the Death's Head Division also became one of the most notorious troops on the Eastern Front during the entire World War II.]

【And this is the most notorious and cruelest unit. 】

[He also played almost the entire game in the subsequent World War II. ]

[Although the personnel were replaced several times, even the division commander Ike was killed by the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery.]

【But the troops are still there. 】

[The core remains the same.]

[Fortunately, this unit was eventually betrayed by the Americans.]

【They got the punishment they deserved.】
