Four hundred ten. Dawn lightning
January 28, 1942.
A miracle happened again:
After the gap in Ladev was opened, with the support of the Germans on the outside, 189,000 German troops successfully completed the breakthrough, which means that Dmiansk was besieged by the Germans basically broke through.
The countless efforts of the Soviet army were completely gone.
In order to eliminate these German troops, the Supreme Soviet Command mobilized all the power that could be mobilized, and a large amount of manpower and material resources were concentrated in Dmyansk, and Stalin himself also had high hopes for it.
But now it's all over
The German army completely highlighted the encirclement, and the successful breakthrough of nearly 200,000 German troops made Cui Kov, commander of the Northern Front of the Soviet Union, sigh to the sky.
Miracle, this is the biggest miracle that happened on the Soviet-German battlefield!
And the miracle of all this comes from one person:
Ernst Alexand von Breme!
——Baron Skeleton!
When he returns to this era, everything is destined to be changed!
However, since the siege of Dmiansk, the German army suffered huge losses, with 65,000 people killed and more than 3,000 people captured and missing.
However, no one could know that if it were not for the timely appearance of the Skeleton Baron, the German army would have suffered much greater losses than this number.
The Russians suffered extremely heavy losses.
The two Soviet guard infantry divisions were completely eliminated, and 170,000 Soviet troops, including Lieutenant General Magfeldluff, commander of the 13th Panzer Army of the Soviet Army, were killed in battle.
Stalin was furious when he learned that the German troops broke through the pocket of Dmiansk and severely scolded Cui Kov, the commander of the Northern Front.
The Soviet Command re-formed the combat plan. The Third Front Army of Belarus immediately cooperated with the Northern Front Army as the main force to encircle the German support troops 50 kilometers west of Dmiansk, and strictly ordered the Soviet troops outside the encirclement not to retreat and resist the German army and narrow the encirclement. Prepare to implement the combat plan code-named "Red Punishment".
Under this circumference, Wang Weiyi immediately generated electricity to the German Supreme Command, requiring all German support troops west of Dmiansk to retreat in great strides and crushed the Russians' "Red Punishment" plan.
Adolf Hitler accepted General Ernst's order without any hesitation.
But at this time, a situation that the German Supreme Command least wanted to see happened:
When covering the last batch of German troops, namely the 11th Armored Division of the German Wehrmacht, a large number of new Soviet troops arrived and finally completed the encirclement of the Ladev area again!
This means:
The Skeleton Division and the 11th Armored Division of the National Defense Forces - surrounded!
Wang Weiyi, who learned about this emergency, was not too panicked. After ordering Xiaoling to search the battlefield, he sent a new telegram to the German Supreme Command:
Start the "Dawn Lightning" breakthrough plan!
The plan decided that the SS Second Panzer Army was responsible for the support mission, and the Skeleton Division and the 11th Panzer Division of the National Defense Forces broke through on their own. The Skeleton Division was the main attacker and launched an attack in the early morning of February 1 to infiltrate the Soviet defense line. Then, it broke through from the Navvier area, the weakest Soviet defense line, and met with the rescue troops who came to support.
The German Supreme Command was also not panicked.
Judging from the series of battles in which the Skeleton Baron returned gloriously, but he personally commanded in Dmiyansk and served as the vanguard force, Ernst Breme is still the Skeleton Baron who constantly creates miracles on the battlefield!
There is no force to stop him!
Before the Soviet encirclement re-encirclement, the Skeleton Division received full supplies, and a brand new tank engine was sent, and 35 Tiger tanks and 80 Type 4 tanks were also transported!
The commander of the Luftwaffen Marshal Richter Hoffen also promised to provide enough air support for the Skeleton Division!
35 newly transported Tiger tanks were equipped to the Ernst battle group. The most elite anti-tank destroyer battalion was arranged to the Ludwig battle group.
The 11th Armored Division of the German Wehrmacht was unified under General Ernst Breme!
"I didn't expect to see you, Lord Baron, when I was alive!" The commander of the 11th Armored Division, rude and unreasonable, and even somewhat nervous Major General Balk's eyes were as fanatical as all Germans: "The 11th Armored Division will completely obey your orders!"
"Barke, the Skeleton Division will be the main attack mission, and you are responsible for covering my left wing! The Artino battle group is responsible for covering my right wing!" Wang Weiyi gave this order expressionlessly.
"Yes, General, it is our greatest honor to provide you with cover!"
"Gather all the troops and the entire army will break through in the early morning of tomorrow!"
The SS Skeleton Division and the 11th Armored Division of the National Defense Forces were all concentrated.
The 11th Armored Division has a very strange nickname - "Ghost Master"!
This is to distinguish it from the "Devil Division" of the 7th Division of the German Army. The informal armband is an image of a banshee holding a sharp sword. She is still stepping on something under her feet, and it looks like a car.
This is also the most elite unit in the German army that has repeatedly created miracles!
When the first breakthrough was made, the Skeleton Division had thrown away all unnecessary equipment, including kettles, lunch boxes, and even medical bags.
And this time, Wang Weiyi also issued such an order:
"Apart from weapons and ammunition, all unnecessary equipment is thrown away! Including a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches! Advance lightly and break through strongly! In China, there is a story, a very famous general, in order to win the war, he ordered his soldiers to sink all their ships after crossing the river, destroy their marching pot, and attack the enemy with a determination to die. He succeeded! And now, we will repeat what this Chinese general has done! I will lead you to assault, the Skeleton Division is the leader of the entire army, and I will personally command Ernst battle group as the leader of the entire division!"
"Enster! Ernster! Ernster!!!"
The frenzy of German soldiers rang out!
"Report to the general, there are 313 seriously injured soldiers in the Skeleton Division and the 11th Armored Division, and they are unable to break through with the entire army!"
The sudden report made Wang Weiyi silent. He looked at the direction of the seriously injured, and was about to issue an order to lead them to break through, suddenly a colonel whose leg was blown off appeared in front of Wang Weiyi with the help of several soldiers.
That was Colonel Peter of the 3rd Armored Regiment of the Skeleton Division!
"Report to General, we can no longer break through with the entire army, we will become a burden to you!" Colonel Peter's voice was so loud: "Please leave us weapons and ammunition, and we will be gloriously killed for Germany and for you!"
"Col. Peter, is this what everyone means?"
"Yes, General, this is the truest idea of all 313 German soldiers!" Colonel Peter's answer was still so loud: "It is our lifelong honor to be able to serve as a sniper unit for you!"
"It is also my lifelong honor to be able to fight side by side with you!" Wang Weiyi raised his hand: "Long live Germany!"
"Long live Germany!"
The Skeleton Division is ready, the 11th Armored Division is ready!
This is the last German unit in the siege of Dmiansk, and this time, they will launch the final breakthrough in Dmiansk under the command of General Ernst Breme!
At the forefront of all the breakthrough troops, there are neat Tiger tanks, which will be their main assault force!
Ernst battle group will personally open the way for all the breakout forces!
Countless flying dark red flags surround a blood-red flag:
That is - Skeleton Battle Flag!
When the "609" tank commanded by General Ernst appeared, all the German soldiers in Ernst's battle group raised their right hands straight:
"St-Enster! St-Enster!!! St-Enster!!!"
When General Ernst decided to personally command the battle group as the vanguard of the entire army, no one was afraid of death, and no one was suspicious of victory!
They - fight with the general!
"General, head of state telegram!"
"read!"
"General Ernst, the Second SS Panzer Army has completed its preparations! The Air Force has completed its preparations! We are waiting for your return! Ernst's miracle shines on Germany! Adolf Hitler, your most loyal friend!"
Ernst's miracle shines on Germany!
Adolf Hitler, your most loyal friend!
Wang Weiyi listened calmly to the telegram and then slowly said: "Call back to Adolf Hitler and the Supreme German Command. I will complete the breakthrough, and my tank will complete the convergence with the Second Armored Army! Glory belongs to Germany!"
Glory belongs to Germany! Glory belongs to Ernst!
Dmiansk, February 1, 1942.
The war ignited here, and the sound of gunfire destroyed this place. Here, a German army later was about to break through with the determination to burn its boats!
Code name - Dawn Lightning!
The darkness gradually dissipates, and an unstoppable lightning will pierce the sky!
The roar of the German soldiers will resound throughout the battlefield under the command of General Ernst Breme!
Burning – Dmiyansk!
The blood of the German soldiers is burning!
"General, Weidmann's assault company has completed preparations!"
"General, Philipson's assault company has completed preparations!"
"General, SS Kiddkers SS Level 2 assault squadron completed preparations!"
"General, Guo Yunfeng's combat team has completed preparations!"
The tank's engine has roared, and battle flags fluttered in the wind! All tanks, artillery, and soldiers have entered assault state!
This is the early morning of February 1, 1942 - the "Dawn Lightning" plan is about to begin!
Burning – Dmiyansk!
When these sounds reached Wang Weiyi's ears, he took a deep breath. He clearly issued the final order to break through Demyansk's death word by word:
Chapter completed!
