Chapter 923: The King's Teacher
In the vast snowy area at the border of Yoshiwa City and Hiroshima City, the armored assault battalion of the 1st Grenadier Regiment of the SS Division was crossing the thick snow with an unstoppable momentum and launching a deadly assault on the weak area of the enemy's No. 2 position.
Snowflakes were flying and the wind was cold, but this harsh natural environment did not slow down their pace. Instead, it stimulated their fighting spirit.
In order to cope with the challenges brought by the snow, all armored units have been equipped with special snow tracks. These tracks are wide and covered with anti-slip spikes, which can easily penetrate thick snow and ensure the high-speed maneuverability of armored vehicles in complex terrain.
With the roar of the engines, classic German armored vehicles from World War II, such as the "Panther" tank, the "Panzer IV" tank and various armored personnel carriers, shuttled through the snow like steel behemoths, leaving behind deep ruts.
The commander stood on a command vehicle, holding a telescope, closely observing the enemy situation and terrain ahead.
He knew very well that the key to this assault lay in speed and accuracy, and that he must utilize the powerful firepower and rapid mobility of the armored forces to break through the enemy's defenses and disrupt their deployment in the shortest possible time.
"Attention all vehicles, we are entering the enemy's weak zone ahead, everyone speed up!" The commander gave the order via radio.
As the order was issued, the soldiers of the armored assault battalion quickly adjusted their status and stepped on the accelerator. The roar of the armored vehicles echoed over the snow, forming an irresistible torrent of steel.
During the advance of the armored forces, they fully utilized their firepower advantage. The main guns of the tanks roared continuously, accurately delivering shells into the enemy positions, causing the enemy to be thrown into disarray. At the same time, the machine guns on the armored personnel carriers also continued to fire, providing powerful firepower support for the infantry. Under the cover of the armored forces, the infantry followed closely behind, using the terrain to quickly penetrate and carry out close-range strikes on the enemy.
The enemy was at a loss in the face of this sudden armored assault. Their fortifications quickly collapsed under the fire of the armored forces. Soldiers sought shelter from the gunfire, but the crushing advance of the armored vehicles left them with nowhere to escape. For a time, the battlefield was filled with smoke and the sound of artillery fire, and the enemy's will to resist gradually collapsed.
In this fierce battle, the armored assault battalion of the 1st Grenadier Regiment of the Death's Head Division demonstrated its strong combat capability and tactical qualities. They took advantage of the advantages of the armored forces and quickly broke through the enemy's defense line, opening a channel for the attack of subsequent troops.
On this battlefield covered with ice and snow, they used their actions to interpret what a true "steel torrent" is.
When the assault battalion successfully opened a gap in the enemy's No. 2 position and gained a firm foothold, the battalion commander Rewi Alley quickly picked up the communicator and reported the exciting news to the regiment headquarters. "Regiment headquarters, this is Rewi Alley from the assault battalion. We have successfully opened a gap in the enemy's No. 2 position and consolidated our position. We are now waiting for further instructions."
In the regiment headquarters, the regiment commander Harvey stared at the tactical map with a satisfied smile on his face.
This breakthrough was crucial to the direction of the entire campaign.
After a brief thought, Harvey decisively issued the next order: "Rewi Alley, you have performed very well. Now, I order the assault battalion to stay where they are, remain highly alert, and be ready to receive follow-up troops at any time. Our goal is to wait for the main force to launch a general attack from the front and successfully divert the enemy's attention. Then, you continue to advance eastward and completely defeat the enemy."
"Understood, Commander! The assault battalion is ready to carry out new missions at any time!"
As the order from the regimental commander Harvey was issued, the 1st Armored Grenadier Regiment quickly entered combat readiness.
I saw a group of soldiers wearing black uniforms and steel helmets with the unique skull logo of the SS Division. They were like steel-cast gods of war, lined up in an orderly manner and ready to go.
"All troops, listen up! Prepare to launch a general attack!" Colonel Harvey stood on the high ground, waving his command knife and shouting loudly. His voice penetrated the cold wind and resounded throughout the battlefield.
With his order, the 1st Panzergrenadiers instantly burst out with amazing fighting power. Tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry fought together, forming an unstoppable steel torrent. They launched a fierce attack on the front of the enemy's No. 2 position with unstoppable force. The artillery fire was continuous, the gunshots were deafening, and the entire battlefield seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force.
Captain Harvey stood in the makeshift command post, staring at the movements of the enemy ahead through the telescope.
Beside him, the battle map was filled with dense markings showing the deployment of troops and the movement of the battle lines of both sides. At this moment, he already had a clear tactical blueprint in his mind.
"First Battalion Commander, Second Battalion Commander, come to me." Harvey's steady and powerful voice reached the ears of the two battalion commanders through the radio. Soon, the two quickly rushed to the command post and stood at attention waiting for instructions.
"We are now facing the enemy's carefully constructed defense system, but their defense is not impeccable." Harvey pointed to the key nodes on the map and analyzed, "First Battalion, your troops will serve as the vanguard, using the firepower advantage of the 'Black Panther' tanks to directly attack the weak point on the left wing of the enemy's position. The Second Battalion will follow closely behind, using armored personnel carriers to carry infantry, and prepare to expand the results of the battle and consolidate the position after the breakthrough."
"Understood, leader!"
With Harvey's order, the battle escalated again. The "Black Panther" tanks of the first battalion attacked as swiftly as cheetahs. Their thick armor withstood the enemy's artillery fire, while the main guns continued to roar, accurately sending armor-piercing shells into the enemy's defense line. The coordinated operations between the tanks made the firepower cover every angle, and the enemy's fortifications quickly collapsed under their bombardment.
"Second Battalion, prepare to charge!" Seeing that the First Battalion had successfully torn open a corner of the enemy's defense line, Harvey immediately issued follow-up orders. The Second Battalion's armored personnel carriers carrying fully armed soldiers followed the tanks and rushed into the enemy's position with a thunderous force. The infantry used the armored vehicles' cover to quickly occupy the advantageous terrain and engage in fierce close combat with the enemy.
On the battlefield, the sky was filled with gunfire and smoke. The soldiers of the SS Division advanced step by step into the depths of the enemy's position. Every charge was accompanied by the enemy's wailing and retreat, and every defense seemed indestructible.
"Maintain suppressive fire and advance step by step!" Harvey kept issuing orders in the command post. He maintained close communication with front-line commanders through the radio to ensure the accurate communication and execution of tactical intentions.
Under his command, the first and second battalions fought in coordination and gradually defeated the enemy's defense system, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the entire battle.
