What goodrian doesn't know is that the "God" he praised for the victory of the bridge defense war is lying in a borrowed tent at the moment, snoring and sleeping, without any image of God. He's really tired. After fighting all day and night, he really needs a rest now.
German armored forces continuously crossed the Soviet defense line, and most of the encircled Soviet forces were surrounded by the M group army under the command of Manstein. Now the rear annihilation war is in an orderly way, and goodrian's forces can continue to advance rapidly to Stalingrad.
These things have nothing to do with Ryan. The 502 battalion paid a heavy price in this attack. In order to cover the attack of the 1st company, the 2nd company fought two fierce encounters on the road and lost three Tiger tanks. As the spearhead of the 502 battalion, the lane group also lost their 113 tank. The whole battalion, including the maintenance tanks, has only half of the tanks left.
Therefore, in the current offensive operations, the 502 tank battalion no longer undertakes the assault task, and even because it is too far from the rear, it may not be able to get new recruits and new tanks in a short period of time. It is estimated that it will take a long time for us to continue to participate in front-line operations.
The imperial division, as a new SS unit in the G group army added to goodrian, appeared on the stage in this offensive. This unit, which was somewhat untimely in military uniform, showed incomparably strong combat effectiveness in the operation. The whole division's combat style was as brave as recklessness. After paying heavy casualties, they completed the arduous task of attacking 30 kilometers forward, occupied and captured a large number of Soviet heavy artillery.
As the first unit to fight, the deputy division commander of this division was wounded and killed in the process of taking the lead in the charge. The heads of three infantry regiments were wounded in more than an hour, and two of the nine battalion commanders were killed. But they broke through the four positions arranged by the Soviet army, captured 4000 enemy troops, and were the first to put the division flag in a prominent position nearest to Stalingrad.
Goodrian immediately allocated 3000 sets of field camouflage blouses and 300 G43 semi-automatic rifles to the army. Although he didn't like the way that the SS emphasized its own existence, he decided not to discriminate against the deformed army which emphasized its spiritual power for the time being because the traditional soldiers liked the army with strong fighting capacity.
In addition to the brilliant achievements, the imperial division added a large number of wounded people to the field hospital. The content of these fanatical members of the great German Party vows is that they are willing to give everything for the order of the head of state. These people can be said to be the most loyal party members and the most fanatical believers of akkado. Those exaggerated movie passages will be reflected in these people. After they are hit by the bullet, what they wail is not "help", but "long live the motherland".
Now goodrian's distance from Stalingrad is very close, even close enough to make rokosovsky feel uncomfortable. German bombers can easily bomb the city under the escort of fighter planes, because the distance is too close, the German army can frequently send out planes, so that a plane can go back and forth several times a day.
So in the next few days, German air forces flew more than 1100 sorties in Stalingrad, bombing this important Soviet transportation hub and industrial city on an unprecedented scale.
Within one day, rokosovsky received more than ten phone calls from Stalin and Zhukov, each of which urged him to keep Stalingrad. Even Moscow made several calls, claiming that if there was an accident in the defense of Stalingrad, rokosovsky must fulfill his promise. The implication is that rokosovsky must coexist with the city, either forever or decadent together.

Poland, wolf's den.
Akado was in his office, with his back to his crony, the leader of the SS, Reinhart? Heidrich. He slowly turned back, looking at his subordinates, and then with a kind of look at the man who obeyed him.
After a long period of silence, he said something carelessly: "Reinhart, at this time, we should not challenge the dignity of the generals of the national defense forces too much. At least when the war comes to such a critical juncture, we should not annoy those who have opened up territory for us, right?"
"My head of state, the SS has more than one million troops in China. They are doing their duty in maintaining law and order, exercising the power above the law for you, controlling and monitoring concentration camps, and stabilizing national production." "They all want to be able to serve you and my head of state in a more dangerous and loyal place," Reinhardt said at attention
"But you can't expand the SS unilaterally, regardless of the feelings of the army. I promised the main generals of the army that when I ruled Germany, the national defense force was the only legitimate armed force in the whole country!" Akado looked at Reinhart and said the word "only" with emphasis.
"My Fuehrer! The SS is your most loyal guard. Isn't it an inevitable trend to let the troops who are absolutely loyal to you gradually replace those who are not very obedient to the national defense forces? " Reinhardt was a little emotional. The SS was his whole life. His dream was to make the Ss the largest group in Germany.
"The army is an irreplaceable national defense force of the Empire! This is my established policy after I came to power! It cannot be shaken Akado frowned at Reinhardt and stressed: "the role of the national defense forces is not replaceable by the SS. It's understandable to let your people join the national defense forces, but it's a provocation to the whole national defense forces to let them make a new start! I think you should know what that means! " Reinhardt looked at the angry akado without flinching. He does not represent one person, but tens of thousands of SS and their interests. He walked up to akado and said slowly: "those national defense forces composed of old soldiers and nobles can no longer keep up with the times! The Ss will certainly replace them. " Akado suddenly reached out and knocked on his desk: "enough! I'm the national defense force, too! Once I was a member of the national defense force, and so were you! Your nonsense this time has made the high-level of the national defense forces very dissatisfied. They reflected this to me more than once at the meeting. " During the period of the Republic, the main reason why akado was able to defeat Hitler and finally stand in the position of the highest leader of Germany was that akado was born in the national defense forces and was trusted by both the old warlords and the new soldiers. He could use the national defense forces as an arm's command. Only in this way could Hitler, who had the stormtroopers, be defeated. As one of the costs, one of the most important chips for the national defense forces to be loyal to the head of state is that akado assured all senior generals of the army that he would not let the SS under his command grow too strong. The national defense forces are the only German national defense forces stipulated by German law. Because of this, all the expanded armed forces of the Ss were assigned to the national defense force by akkado, and supplied by the national defense force forces, which made the national defense force acquiesce in the existence of these SS. Of course, on the other hand, these SS troops have won the respect of their counterparts in the national defense forces because of their bravery and outstanding achievements. However, acquiescence or acceptance is not the reason why the national defense force tolerates the continued expansion of the influence of the SS. After all, the national defense force is a group developed from the old army. They are proud and even exclusive. The senior generals of the army have always taken it as their duty to ensure the detachment of the national defense force in Germany. Therefore, they are particularly disgusted with the paramilitary organization ss of the same nature“ Whether you can understand it or not, I can only tell you that, except for my private guard division 0 and several special operations units under its jurisdiction, any front-line SS unit can only operate under the unified command of the national defense force, and can only develop within the tolerance of the national defense force! " Akkado warned Reinhart in a cold voice: "I know what you and the people behind you think, but I want to tell you, or tell you, it's better not to engage in internal friction at this time, otherwise, I will find out and hang those bastards who claim to be loyal to me but only to themselves one by one!" He looked at Reinhart, biting his teeth, and said, "the SS is not only yours, it's also my effort! If you have a fever or don't know who to be loyal to, I will feel very disappointed. " At this time, Reinhardt remembered who the man in front of him was. He was different from the newly rising powers behind the SS. He was the head of state, and he was the heaviest end of the balance of power. In this country, the people who are not loyal to the head of state no longer exist. Reinhardt himself eliminated a lot of them, but not all of them. In terms of being unreasonable, the national defense force is the most powerful and unreasonable organization in Germany. They deal with their opponents in a more direct and bloody way: tie them to the tracks of tanks, hang them on the bombs of airplanes, and stuff them into the torpedo of naval submarines. Even the monarch of a country should be cautious in dealing with his words and deeds when facing the German national defense forces“ I will try my best to convince them that the SS is still loyal to you, my head Said Reinhart, after a moment's silence.
