Chapter 307： Skeleton Division established (2/2)
At the same time, the National Defense Forces completed the formation of the third armored division last month. Compared with the SS, the main equipment is the same. They are all Panther 3 tanks. However, the armored division is organized different.
The armored divisions of the SS have realized Guderian’s vision. Each division has jurisdiction over one armored brigade, each brigade governs 2 armored regiments, each regiment governs 2 armored battalions, and each battalion governs 4 tank companies. , Each company has 21 tanks, and an armored division has 336 tanks!
What a terrible force this is, it can be said that an armored division today is even more powerful than an armored army in Germany in history!
Standing on the rostrum of the inauguration ceremony, Cyric looked at the training ground below. The tanks lined up neatly. There were more than 300 tanks. What a spectacular sight? Take a look at the high-speed parking lot on holidays in later generations.
Cyric was satisfied.
”As soldiers, we have only one goal, which is to defeat the enemy and sweep the enemy!” Cyric shouted to the officers and soldiers present: ”Our third armored division, also known as the skeleton division, on the battlefield, our enemies will change. Become a skeleton!”
Skeleton division, double meaning, fight the enemy, without mercy, let the enemy become a skeleton, fight bravely, without order, never retreat, even if he becomes a skeleton!
”Our empire is already strong, but some countries with ulterior motives are unwilling to watch us become stronger. They want to do everything possible to stop us, play tricks, and our task is to use our blood and fire. In the battle of war, tell these conspirators that in front of the powerful German war machine, all conspiracies and tricks are delusions!”
Cyric's words drew cheers from below.
”Long live the great Third Reich!”
”Long live the great head of state!”
”Now, I declare that the 3rd Armored Division of the Waffen-SS is officially established!”
Officially established! The soldiers of the Skeleton Division ~~ are all shouting, and in their voices, the entire European continent is trembling!
All of them are the most advanced Panther tanks, holding the latest 6.8mm submachine guns in their hands. Behind the tanks, there are also a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, 10-ton supply vehicles, this armor The cost of the teacher is also expensive.
Cyric took a review car and went around in a circle. When he came to the last row of supporting firepower equipment, he was shocked by the equipment here.
Katyusha of Germany! The equipment here is a multiple rocket launcher mounted on the chassis of a 6*6 10-ton off-road truck! When I was in charge of military production, I once mentioned this to my subordinates and asked to pay attention!
In World War II, the Soviet Katyusha rockets were so famous that many German veterans were terrified. Even if a 152mm artillery shell flew, experienced veterans could judge the impact point based on the sound. But what about this thing? ? There is nowhere to hide, this is a face-to-face weapon!
Although the most famous is the Soviet Katyusha, in fact, the Germans studied rockets earlier.
