- January 28, 1942.
A miracle happened again:
After the gap in Radev was opened, with the support of the German troops from the outside, 189,000 German troops successfully completed the breakout. In other words, the German troops besieged in Demyansk basically succeeded in breaking through.
The countless efforts of the Soviet army were completely in vain.
In order to eliminate these German troops, the Soviet Supreme Command mobilized all available forces, and a large amount of manpower and material resources were concentrated in Demyansk. Stalin himself also had high hopes for this place.
But now it's all over
The German army completely broke through the encirclement. The successful breakout of nearly 200,000 German troops made Chuikov, commander of the Soviet Northern Front, look up to the sky and sigh.
Miracle, this is the biggest miracle that happened on the Soviet-German battlefield!
And all these miracles come from one person:
Ernst Alexson von Brahm!
¡ª¡ªSkeleton Baron!
When he returns to this era, everything is destined to change!
However, after the siege of Demyansk, the German army suffered heavy losses, with 65,000 people killed and more than 3,000 captured or missing.
However, no one could know that if it were not for the timely appearance of the Skeleton Baron, the German army's losses would be far greater than this number.
And the Russian losses were extremely heavy.
The two Soviet Guards Infantry Divisions were completely wiped out, and 170,000 Soviet troops including Lieutenant General Magfedlov, commander of the Soviet 13th Armored Corps, died in the battle.
Stalin was furious when he learned that the German troops had broken out from the Demyansk pocket, and severely reprimanded Chuikov, the commander of the Northern Front.
The Soviet Army High Command re-formulated the battle plan. The Third Belarusian Front, with the Northern Front as the main force, immediately cooperated with the encirclement of the German support troops 50 kilometers west of Demyansk, and strictly ordered the Soviet troops outside the encirclement not to retreat to resist the German troops and narrow the encirclement. Prepare to implement the combat plan code-named "Red Punishment".
Under this circumstance, Wang Weiyi, who was still in the encirclement, immediately sent a message to the German High Command, asking all German support troops west of Demyansk to retreat in large strides to crush the Russians' "Red Punishment" plan.
Adolf Hitler accepted General Ernst's order without any hesitation.
But at this time, a situation that the German High Command least wanted to see happened:
While covering the last group of German troops, the 11th Armored Division of the German Wehrmacht, to break out of the encirclement, a large number of new Soviet reinforcements arrived and finally re-completed the encirclement of the Radev area!
This means:
The Skeleton Division and the 11th Armored Division of the Wehrmacht¡ªare surrounded!
Wang Weiyi learned of this unexpected situation. Without much panic, after ordering Xiaoling to search the battlefield, a new telegram was sent to the German High Command:
Start the "Dawn Lightning" breakout plan!
The plan decided that the Second SS Panzer Corps would be responsible for supporting the Totenkopf Division and the 11th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht to break out on their own. The Skeleton Division served as the main offensive, launching an attack in the early morning of February 1st and penetrating the Soviet defense line. Then break through the Nafviye area, where the Soviet defense line is the weakest, and join the rescue forces coming to support.
The German High Command also did not panic.
Judging from the series of battles in which the Skeleton Baron returned gloriously but personally commanded in Demyansk and served as the vanguard, Ernst Brahm is still the Skeleton Baron who continues to create miracles on the battlefield!
No force can stop him!
Before the Soviet encirclement was re-encircled. The Skeleton Division was fully supplied, and brand new tank engines were delivered. At the same time, 35 Tiger tanks and 80 Type 4 tanks were delivered!
And the commander of the German Air Force, Marshal Richthofen, also promised to provide sufficient air support for the Skeleton Division!
35 newly arrived Tiger tanks were equipped to the Ernst Battle Group. The most elite anti-tank destroyer battalion was assigned to the Ludwig Battle Group.
The 11th Armored Division of the German Wehrmacht was unified under the command of General Ernst Brahm!
"I never thought that I would be able to see you while I was alive. Your Excellency, Baron!" Major General Balk, commander of the 11th Armored Division, was rude, unreasonable, and even a little nervous, with the same enthusiasm as all Germans dancing in his eyes: "The 11th Armored Division The Armored Division will obey your orders completely!"
"Balk, the Skeleton Division will be responsible for the main attack mission, and you are responsible for covering my left wing! The Altino 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 together and launch a breakout early tomorrow morning!¡±
The SS Skeleton Division and the 11th Armored Division of the Wehrmacht were all concentrated.
The 11th Armored Division has a very strange nickname - "Ghost Division"!
This is to distinguish it from the "Devil Division" of the 7th German Army Division. The unofficial armband of this division is the image of a banshee holding a sword, with something under its feet that looks like a car.
This is also the most elite unit in the German army that has repeatedly created miracles!
During the first breakout, the Skeleton Division had thrown away all unnecessary equipment, including water bottles, lunch boxes, and even medical kits.
And this time, Wang Weiyi also issued the following order:
"Except for weapons and ammunition, throw away all unnecessary equipment! Including a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches! Advance lightly and break through with force! In China, there is a story about a very famous general who, in order to win the war , he ordered his soldiers to sink all their boats, destroy their marching pots, and attack the enemy with determination to die. And now, we will repeat what this Chinese general did! Thing! I will lead you to attack, the Skeleton Division will be the leader of the entire army, and I will personally command the Ernst Battle Group as the leader of the entire army!"
¡°Ernst! Ernst!! Ernst!!!¡±
The fanatical shouts of the German soldiers sounded!
"Report to the general, there are a total of 313 seriously injured people in the Skeleton Division and the 11th Armored Division, and they cannot break out with the entire army!"
The sudden report silenced Wang Weiyi. He glanced in the direction of the seriously injured people, and was about to issue an order to lead them to break out together. Suddenly, a colonel whose leg was blown off appeared with the help of several soldiers. In front of Wang Weiyi.
That¡¯s Colonel Peter from the 3rd Armored Regiment of the Skeleton Division!
"Report to the general, we can no longer break out with the whole army, we will become a burden for you!" Colonel Peter's voice was so loud: "Please leave us weapons and ammunition, we will fight for Germany and you gloriously die!"
"Colonel Peter, is this what everyone means?"
"Yes, General, this is the truest thought of all 313 of our German soldiers!" Colonel Peter's answer was still so resounding: "It is our lifelong honor to serve as a sniper unit for you!"
"It is also my lifelong honor 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 force in the Demyansk encirclement, and this time, under the command of General Ernst Brahm, they will launch the final breakout operation of Demyansk!
At the forefront of all the breakout troops, there are neatly arranged Tiger tanks. This will be their main assault force!
The Ernst Battle Group will personally clear the way for all breakout troops!
Countless flying dark red flags surround a blood-red flag:
That¡¯s¡ªthe Skeleton Battle Flag!
When the "609" tank commanded by General Ernst appeared, all the German soldiers of the Ernst Battle Group raised their right hands straight:
"Holy-Ernst! Holy-Ernst!! Holy-Ernst!!!"
When General Ernst decided to personally command the battle group and act as the vanguard of the entire army, no one was afraid of death, and no one doubted victory!
They - fight with the general!
"General, telegram from the head of state!"
"read!"
"General Ernst, the Second SS Panzer Army has completed preparations! The Air Force has completed preparations! We are waiting for your return! Ernst's miracle shines on Germany! Adolf Hitler, your most loyal friend!"
Ernst¡¯s miracle shines upon Germany!
Your most loyal friend, Adolf Hitler!
Wang Weiyi calmly listened to the telegram, and then said slowly: "Reply to Adolf Hitler and the German High Command. I will complete the breakout, and my tanks will complete the rendezvous with the Second Armored Army! Glory belongs to Germany!"
Glory belongs to Germany! Glory belongs to Ernst!
February 1, 1942, Demyansk.
The flames of war are igniting this place, and the sound of gunfire is destroying it. Here, the following German troops are about to break through with determination to break through!
Code name - Dawn Lightning!
The darkness gradually dissipates, and an unstoppable lightning will pierce the sky!The roar of the German soldiers will resound across the battlefield under the command of General Ernst Brahm!
Burning - Demyansk!
The blood of German soldiers is burning!
"General, the Weidmann assault company is ready!"
"General, Phillipson's assault company is ready!"
"General, the SS Kiddke SS Second-Level Assault Squadron is ready!"
"General, Guo Yunfeng's battle group is ready!"
The engine of the tank is already roaring, and the battle flags are flying in the wind! All tanks, artillery, and soldiers have entered assault mode!
This is the early morning of February 1, 1942 - the "Dawn Lightning" project is about to begin!
Burning - Demyansk!
When these sounds reached Wang Weiyi's ears, he took a deep breath. He clearly issued the final order for Demyansk to break out word by word:
"My soldiers, let Demyansk burn!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. - Didn't finish reading?
