Although the Southern Army Group was not the main attack direction, in order to advance on the vast Ukrainian plain, they were still equipped with a large number of armored troops, including the 1st Armored Army Group as the forerunner.

This army group is under the jurisdiction of the 13th, 14, 25, 11, 16th Armored Divisions and Vikings of the National Defense Forces, with a total of about 3,900 combat tanks.

It can be seen that this armored cluster is mainly armored division of the National Defense Forces, and only the Vikings belong to the armed SS. Moreover, this Vikings is the last unit formed.

Unlike several other armed SSs, the Vikings were not pure Germanic, they belonged to foreign legions.

This division was originally called the "Germanian Division", and the basic corps was a "German" regiment composed mainly of volunteer soldiers from occupied countries. It was only last year that it was renamed the "Vikings", and was later incorporated into two regiments, the "Nordland" regiment with 294 Norwegian volunteers, the "Westland" regiment with 216 Danish volunteers, and the "Nordst" battalion composed of Dutch and Finnish volunteers.

Although they are foreign soldiers, their loyalty to Germany is quite high. Historically, the miscellaneous Vikings unit won the respect of the enemy through cruel battles. They faithfully fulfilled your promise when you enlisted and fought to the last person!

Now, Germany has even proposed the title of honorary Aryans, which inspires them even more. Everyone hopes to reflect their own value in the war.

When the battle began, they rushed the most fiercely. Just as a group of armored divisions of the National Defense Forces were still rushing behind, they had already rushed out hundreds of kilometers.

At the same time, the one who rushed to the front of this division was the Warrenie Assault Brigade, all of which were composed of the Warrenie people. In later generations, they faithfully carried out Hitler's order to "fight to the last man", and only 35 people in the brigade survived.

They are not armored brigades, but armored grenade brigades. The main weapon is wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, with only two Black Panther 3 tanks from the brigade.

However, this could not stop their fighting spirit. After receiving the report from the reconnaissance car in front, the brigade commander De Gail was immediately extremely excited.

"Our main force, three kilometers behind us, now let's fire the first shot against the Soviets!" Degail said excitedly: "Vorene, attack!"

The Black Panther 3 tanks were filled with black smoke, and rushed towards the Soviet camp in the black smoke. Behind the two brigade tanks were followed by wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

On the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, the 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft gun was modified. Such firepower was not enough to tear the armor of the opponent's main battle tank. Even if it was hitting the side of the T-34, it was very difficult. That is, it was hit on the rear and top.

But they are fearless at all.

The chariots were driving at full speed, and in the dark night sky, they were rushing wildly with their night vision instruments, getting closer and closer to the Soviets' station.

A tremor suddenly came from the ground. When he felt this abnormality, Chernyev stood up.

Is it our own supply convoy? It doesn’t seem so fast, right? Moreover, the direction of the vibration is the West?

Suddenly, his face changed drastically: "Be careful, the enemy attack!"

A stream of light suddenly appeared on the dark field in front of me, and it was the enemy who was firing!

The Black Panther 3 tank started shooting at the opponent. At this distance, it is not guaranteed to hit, but at least it can bring chaos to the opponent.

A tank division is not all tank troops, but there are still a large number of infantry soldiers. As long as the opponent becomes in chaos, it can bring opportunities to one side!

Degail's tank shot shells at the opponent in a huge roar, this one was a grenade.

"Boom!" The grenade exploded when it touched the ground, making a deafening sound, which hit the Soviet camping site. Several Soviet soldiers were blown up, and the rest were stunned.

It's so scary, what's going on?

"Bang, bang!" On the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle behind, the 40mm Bofos chariot cannon was fired violently at this side using continuous firing. Wherever he went, there was chaos!

If the Soviet soldiers were in a strong sense of fighting, the small group of German troops rushing up now would not be enough for their appetizer.

However, the Soviets were exhausted.

Although it is not as tired as the infantry behind, there is no comfort inside the tank. After a day, my whole body feels like I'm falling apart.

The infantry carried on the tanks were definitely not very comfortable. They were extremely tired after the day. Now they were sleeping in a daze while waiting for fuel. It was the time when people were most vulnerable.

As a result, the Germans came up.

The German tanks were firing, with light everywhere and explosions everywhere.

If they were awake at this time, they could find that there were not many German tanks coming. Although they lacked fuel, even if they used the last little fuel and started the tank, they could still fire and fight back, and even kill all the Germans who rushed in.

However, they were confused. When the people around them screamed and fell down, their hearts became panicked. What else should I beat at this time? Run away quickly!

The infantry carried by the tanks had already started running backwards, and after thinking a little, the tankers also began to run backwards. As long as someone took the lead, what else would they be afraid of?

"Hurry, go back to your own combat post!" The division commander Colonel Chernyayev was still awake. Once the retreat began in this dark night, it would turn into a terrible defeat.

Just push it up!

However, no one listened to him. When the sound of tanks in the distance started to rumbling, everyone couldn't help but want to run back.

This was the most embarrassing day for the proud Soviet tank soldiers. One of their tank divisions was actually broken up by a German brigade. Moreover, they were not pure Germans, but a group of volunteer soldiers.

It was as if a red-hot soldering iron was inserted into the cheese. Such a small German army, a forward, actually collided with the entire Soviet tank division.

Wherever they went, the Soviets were turning around and running away, and the infantry fighting vehicles behind them used 40mm cannons and machine guns to shoot at the retreating Soviets. It was so satisfying!

They rushed toward each other's middle, which was exactly where the other party's division headquarters was located.
Chapter completed!
