Chapter 1: The Experimenter
In the hard years ahead, it is more important for us to set an example than live a meaningless life!
Before the KSW Party entered Berlin, the armed SS conducted an armed march....com Hitler hoped to give people a mighty image through the SS. The first SSs equipped with the Mauser 9 rifle was less than 30,000, which was the essence of the KSW Party's armed forces. These armed SSs were led by Himmler to gather in Marian Square.
They will set out from Marian Square, sing heroic military songs in their mouths toward the new city hall, bypass the Cathedral of Our Lady, and pause at the palace complex in Maxther Square. They will sing the National Society Party Song in front of the old forces complex, conduct various queue drills, and then continue to move towards the Crystal Palace.
Amid Hitler's energetic slogans, they would take a truck to the small town of Swagen, 5 kilometers out of Fusin, which is the Neuschwanstein Castle of Bavaria Loyu II. After vowing here, they would turn to the war - not to go to Berlin!
They will pass Nuremberg, Dreston, temporarily stay at Cottbus, waiting for the Berlin Military Region's National Defense Forces to enter Berlin.
For fear of adverse effects, the Berlin authorities dispatched a force to conduct air surveillance. Most of these aircraft were Henkel e-51s that survived World War I. They will learn about the movements of the KS Party's armed SS in the air and report them to the command center in time. Once something is wrong with the armed SS, the command center will respond as soon as possible.
The armed march of the KMT Party was purposeful. Hitler hoped to give people the impression that the KMT Party was very powerful, which was building momentum for the election one and a half months later.
It has been a long time since the German people saw a full range of armed forces in gray uniforms. Although the armed SS is not a direct force of the state, this is enough for people to be excited for a while.
Under the envy of various parties, Hitler's important cadres and the armed SS will board the train to Cottbus.
In Berlin's border at Cotbus, a national defense force was transferred here early to wait. This is a new type of force, and its members were seconded from each division by the Defense Forces Command. They were the first experimental infantry division, and the division commander was Lieutenant General Loeb.
The infantry battalion has 4 infantry companies under its jurisdiction, each company is equipped with 12 light machine guns, and some companies are equipped with 4 G series. The Stark-1017 multi-purpose machine guns in the experimental stage. Each of the infantry companies is equipped with two mortars, and one battalion is equipped with one-1017 machine gun company.
The division's affiliated units:
Each reinforced infantry artillery company is equipped with a door of 75mm light infantry gun and 2 mm infantry guns.
Each infantry regiment has 2 engineer companies and is equipped with 6 light machine guns.
The reconnaissance battalion is organized into 2 bicycle companies, 1 motorcycle artillery platoon, and 1 anti-tank artillery platoon.
Communications battalion establishment: 1 telephone company, 1 motorcycle communication company, and 1 motorcycle communication column.
It has 1 health company, 1 field hospital, and 2 ambulance convoys.
Such an arrangement is definitely a beast with fierce firepower for the active troops of countries around the world! In order to build such a division, the military costs of the National Defense Forces have been repeatedly raised. After sacrificing the construction costs of the three divisions, the construction was finally completed.
Loeb refused the promotion of the general and exchanged the command of this unit. It can be said that he made a profit! Xu Yang and his partners served in this new infantry division as non-commissioned officers. According to Loeb, he was willing to exchange everything for the command of this unit. His life with the gold mines made him feel much younger.
"I like the eyes of others, my eyes are full of jealousy. They must be so envious that they are almost crazy!"
Xu Yang was arranged to serve as the platoon leader in the first regiment, the first battalion and the first company of the division. When he graduated, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, leading four infantry squads, compulsory artillery teams and pilots. Members of the platoon department; Sergeant Gallirich, Dansushi, and a senior defense squad, Shidais, a veteran who participated in World War I, hoped to be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant in two months. Of course, he was still serving as a non-commissioned officer to assist Xu Yang.
"Mr. Lieutenant, Lieutenant Isbet of the company's army is looking for you."
Xu Yang turned around and looked, the person who came was Vixter, the correspondent soldier of the company. "Oh, okay. Private, you can drink some water here."
Vickers declined Xu Yang's kindness: "Mr. Lieutenant, the car is waiting outside. Mr. Lieutenant asked you to go over."
Xu Yang stopped talking and asked Shi Daina to take over his position. He walked out of the boarding office and took a jeep with Dansu.
Industrial development in recent years has made the road well built. Jeeps drive in the lane without any bumps. You can see soldiers in gray uniforms busy along the way. This is the inevitable place for the armed SS to pass by. Both sides of the highway were controlled by the National Defense Forces, and the attics of the residential houses were requisitioned and built into firepower points. In order to cope with the emergencies, the National Defense Force did not directly station on the roadside, but cut down some trees on the roadside to build military camps at hidden points.
Looking far into the woods, you can see soldiers fighting against wood perfecting the camp's defensive positions. The camp surrounded by barbed wire looks a bit like a concentration camp in later generations, but now it is used to prevent uninformed people from breaking into the military camp. Behind the barbed wire, in addition to the soldiers who are building the camp, you can also see the engineer company's disguised artillery positions, and the dark cannon steel pipes protruding from the camouflage point. It looks creepy. The position of the muzzle is aimed at is a crossroads that the armed SS must pass.
Loeb once vowed: If those militia attempt to force their entry into Berlin, they will be completely wiped out by my troops!
A buzzing sound made Xu Yang look up and two Henkel e-51s flew slowly from the sky to the hinterland of Berlin, which shows that Hitler and the others are not far from here. "Private, drive quickly."
The jeep stopped in front of the company's tent, and Xu Yang hurried out and ran in, "The first row, the platoon leader Lieutenant Stark was ordered to come."
Lieutenant Isbet was accompanying the company's non-commissioned officers and outlined something on a map. When he saw Xu Yang coming in, he stopped, "Second Lieutenant, come here." He pointed to a small town on the map, "Take your platoon here to monitor the movements of the armed SS. Half an hour later I want to know that your platoon has reached its destination. There is no order to not open fire, do you understand?"
Xu Yang saluted: "Yes! Mr. Lieutenant." He was stopped when he turned around and was about to leave.
To be on the safe side, Lieutenant Isbet gave Xu Yang a privilege, "You bring two correspondents over there, and if necessary, you have the right to ask nearby artillery companies for fire support."
"Yes!" Xu Yang saluted again and turned away. When he came out, he saw Vixter still outside. He asked, "Private, do I need your help?" As he said that, he took the passenger seat of the jeep.
Vixter simply started the jeep and drove back to the way he came. Vixter said in a low voice, "Mr. Lieutenant, I have a request."
"What?" Xu Yang didn't hear it clearly. The jeep was very noisy.
Vicker was extremely embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Lieutenant, please help me transfer me into your platoon. I long to be transferred into your platoon!"
Xu Yang looked at Vixter unexpectedly, "Private, reason, you need a good reason."
Vixter was speechless. He was silent for a long time until he came to the platoon headquarters. "Mr. Lieutenant, I long for fighting, rather than running back and forth with documents every day without doing anything."
Xu Yang jumped out of the car, "Private, you must know that you are also fighting. Communication is an indispensable unit of the army, and you should be proud. Only with your army can you communicate well, and your responsibility is more important than our role on the line of fire."
Vickers was stunned for a moment, first feeling disappointed because he was rejected. When he heard it, he looked up at Xu Yang seriously, "Is it true?"
"Of course!" Xu Yang's uncle finished speaking in an encouraging tone, nodded, turned around and rushed into the platoon, leaving Dan Su behind.
Xu Yang came in and found that the squad leader of the platoon was also there, and urgently ordered: "We want to transfer and let the soldiers move. We must be there for half an hour..." He opened the small simple map configured by the platoon headquarters and "surveillance the armed SS in the town of Cobb."
Von Kers is the leader of the platoon compost. He asked: "Your Excellency, do we need to transfer too?"
Xu Yang looked around everyone with dissatisfaction, "My order is to transfer, why are you still staying here?"
