Chapter 1851 All the Work in Vain
Malachenko would never have thought that this battle, which seemed to be full of corpses and blood, would end in this way.
When Comrade Lao Ma saw the surrendered Germans raising their hands in a French military salute, one after another, emerging from behind the dilapidated or lying sideways carriages on the rails and marching in formation, Malachenko even doubted for a moment whether he was blind.
"Comrade division commander, the Germans surrendered!? We haven't started the action yet, how could they just..."
Embarrassment can be divided into many specific situations. One of the most embarrassing situations is that when you have prepared everything and are ready to press the army to fight the enemy, those enemies who you originally thought would die hard suddenly say "I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to fight anymore, I surrender to you now, is it a surprise? Is it unexpected?".
To be honest, in the eyes of Malachenko and Valosha, the superior and subordinate, surprise and surprise are actually far-fetched, but embarrassment and shock are indeed there.
It took a lot of effort to put pressure on the Germans, but it was all in vain?
Since you have decided to surrender, what the hell have you been doing? Aren't you just fooling people?
""
Malashenko, who was also confused in his heart, raised the telescope in his hand again to confirm the situation. It was an obvious fact that the Germans really wanted to surrender and were not acting. At this time, if you want to find out the truth, there is only one simple and quick way.
"Since they surrender, we will accept it. Why refuse if it can save a lot of trouble?"
"No matter what the reason is, it's a good thing after all. Don't care about the previous process, let's see the result first. Since the Germans are willing to surrender, we can't break the rules. Take your people to take them all away, find a leader to ask what's going on, and find out the reason first."
Varosha, who has worked with Malashenko for a long time, certainly understood what the division commander meant. He responded casually and quickly took action, commanding his troops to surround and accept the surrender of the Germans.
It was only when he really got closer and had the opportunity to observe these Germans who looked like a group of ordinary Wehrmacht soldiers from a distance that Valosha, who personally led the team to accept the surrender and prisoners, was surprised to find that something was wrong.
"Comrade Division Commander, big news! These Germans are not from the Army at all, they are from the German Air Force! Look, it's written on the certificate. Under the combat tunics, these bastards are wearing dark blue Air Force uniforms, which are different from the black uniforms of the Wehrmacht and SS who are all in iron gray."
""
What the hell? Air Force! ? Marshal Meyer's men? Who are these bastards! ?
Malashenko, with a lot of question marks popping up in his mind, couldn't figure out the situation for a while. He wanted to ask something, but he thought it would be more practical to take a look at the officer's certificate handed over by Varosha, so he simply chose the latter.
It was also after he took the officer's certificate and flipped through two pages that Malashenko, who saw several key words recorded on it, suddenly realized it.
"Fuck! These bastards are not small. They are from the German Air Force field troops. They are from the "Hermann Goering" division."
Everything that can fly in the whole of Germany is under my control!
Marshal Meyer, who had made such bold statements a long time ago, has more than just aircraft in his eyes. The desire for power will expand with the passage of time.
Even if the German Army cannot make up for the huge loss of personnel, and has set its sights on the bloated and huge personnel establishment of the Air Force, it requires a piece of meat to be cut off and stuffed into its own wounds, and even in the end it even asks the head of state to help intercede or even directly order.
The extremely reluctant Marshal Meyer still refuses to change his nature and will never give up the power in his hands, let alone allow anyone to divide and exploit it from him. It is the limit of his tolerance to take a step back from the garbage of the Wehrmacht.
The final result was that the German Army did not get the direct manpower they wanted at the beginning, but got 20 air force field divisions sent by Marshal Meyer as fresh troops to fill the gap in war losses.
Just as the name implies, the so-called air force field divisions are naturally different from ordinary Wehrmacht army units. The biggest difference is the personnel composition, which is composed of ground crews, baggage, and some corners of the German Air Force, and the bloated and redundant personnel.
To put it bluntly, it is a group of monks who have left the world halfway, and there is an essential difference between the serious monks who have been vegetarian and chanting since childhood.
Since it is a group of idle people in the Air Force who have nothing to do and fish in troubled waters all day long, you really can't expect a group of such a mob to have strong combat effectiveness when gathered together.
Most of the air force field divisions are scumbags, and their combat effectiveness is far less than that of the Wehrmacht field infantry divisions. It can only be said that they are a little stronger than the third-rate vassal army. But there was one exception, which was the "Hermann Goering" Air Force Field Division named after Field Marshal Meyer.
Strictly speaking, this is the most elite ground combat force under Marshal Meyer. It is the "face force" and "personal soldiers of the Imperial Marshal" that he sent to the front-line battlefield to fight the Russians at the request of the head of state. If it is still as weak and vulnerable as other air force field divisions, it would be too embarrassing, isn't it? Where can we put the face of the Imperial Marshal?
Then again, Malashenko is not unfamiliar with the name of the Goering Division. After all, it is the only capable unit among the 20 German air force field divisions. It is also considered a "listed" role in the 21st century World War II history materials.
However, Malashenko really didn't expect to meet the guys of the Goering Division in this place. If he ran into them on a serious battlefield, it would not be surprising. But why were these guys sent to serve as train escorts and escorts in this posture?
Is this how the only elite land force under Marshal Meyer is used? Specializing in this kind of work that is usually done by third-rate garrison troops?
Malashenko couldn't figure it out. He felt that there must be some tricks and twists that he didn't know about. As for how to solve the puzzle and get the answer, he had to learn something from the German Air Force prisoners who had surrendered in front of him.
