Chapter 3131 Germans Go to War

The Germans planned to use the method of temporarily adding special identification marks on the front and sides of the tanks to specifically distinguish themselves from the Japanese, while not arousing the suspicion of the Japanese.

In simple terms, it is to add a striking blue flag on the front and side of the tank as an identification mark.

Kentaro Aoki, who believed in Stauffenl, believed what he said, "This is an effective way to strengthen the tactical coordination and cooperation between the two armies."

He just thought that this was probably some tactical arrangement that the Germans were going to implement, and he didn't think that the Germans were going to push him into the fire pit.

After basically figuring out what the Germans were going to do, Valosha, who understood all the details of interest, nodded and raised his hand to indicate that the brief interrogation could end and the person could be taken away.

While sorting out the interrogation records in his hand, he exchanged opinions with the chief of staff who was interrogating next to him.

"It seems that these Germans have considered it very carefully. Comrade Army Commander also told us to give it a try in his reply."

"If these Germans can really succeed in their uprising, 22 Tiger tanks will turn against the Japanese and suddenly attack these bandy-legged monkeys. I think it will be of great help to us. If the timing is right, we may be able to take away the last Japanese troops in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Second Division on the spot."

"Well, that's true in the most ideal situation, but we still have to strengthen our vigilance. At present, we still cannot rule out the possibility that the Nazi remnants and the Japanese army will unite to carry out a conspiracy. Comrade Division Commander, we should be prepared to deal with such a situation."

After finishing the document records in his hand and stacking them together, Valosha, who had already understood the new version of the combat plan, immediately made an order.

"That's it. Let's convey the order to the combat units in front to see if the Japanese are ready to deal with the big surprise."

At the same time, on the other side, Stauffen, who had completed all preparations, had already begun to act.

Thanks to the large number of instructors brought from Germany.

Stauffen, who gathered all his armored personnel together, had more than 100 people, and put together a full 22 Tiger tank crews at once, but the level was a little

Well, not so satisfactory.

Heavy tank armored soldiers are scarce talents in the German army.

Whether it is affiliated with the SS or the Wehrmacht, after the independent heavy armored battalion is formed and equipped with heavy tanks, before going to the battlefield, it must go through a series of adaptive training and combat effectiveness integration between personnel and equipment. It does not mean that everyone can directly board the heavy tank and fight.

In addition, the number of heavy armored soldiers lost on the battlefield is increasing, and the German army, which is difficult to replenish, is short of people. Naturally, it is impossible to let the Japanese take away all the more than 100 elite heavy armored soldiers at once, even if the Japanese use gold to exchange.

This is the number of people who can put together a full 22 heavy tank crews, which is already half of the troops of a fully equipped independent heavy armored battalion in the most ideal state.

The Germans were probably crazy and stupid, so they let the Japanese take away half of the heavy armored battalion at the critical moment in mid-1944.

So only a small half of Stauffen's men were regular heavy armored soldiers, who had driven Tiger or the latest Tiger King heavy tanks, and had relatively good combat experience and combat power.

As for the remaining half, it's funny, they were all ordinary armored soldiers that the Germans used to fill the numbers for the Japanese.

Some of them were from the Panzer IV, some were from the Panther III, and some were from the Panther. They were all relatively good. The most outrageous thing was that there were a few guys who were from the Panzer III.

In mid-1944, the German armored soldiers who could continue to drive the Panzer III tanks to fight were even rarer than the heavy armored talents.

But the Germans never expected that the basic operation of cheating the Japanese at the beginning would end up hurting Stauffen himself who wanted to "revolt on the battlefield".

Facing this group of armored soldiers with uneven skills, which makes people feel overwhelmed at a glance.

He is indeed an orthodox heavy armored battalion, and he is from the most capable 502nd Battalion. Later, he was transferred to other armored divisions to serve as a middle-level command position. There is no other choice for Stoffel.

He can only assign the few orthodox heavy armored soldiers under his command to the most important and professional positions such as commanders and drivers.

Even the gunners, who are equally important, are not enough professionals, so they can only pick the tallest among the short ones.

Pull a few armored soldiers who have worked as gunners on the Black Panther and force them into the Tiger to make do.

As for the less important positions of loaders and electromechanics, they can only randomly stuff people in, and any armored soldier can get into the car.

After patching together, he finally got 22 acceptable crews, and all 110 armored soldiers, including himself, were present.

Looking at his armored soldiers, who could be described as a "rabble", Stauffen felt sad and couldn't help but lament the good times when the German armored army marched all over Europe. They were gone forever and had become a thing of the past.

Now not only do they have to use these inferior knockoffs made by the Japanese, but they can't even get half a decent heavy armored battalion of personnel.

They can only sew it up like a collection of fragments forcibly glued together with glue, and go into battle with the mentality of "it's better to have something than nothing".

"Forget it, at least they are much stronger than those pig-headed Japanese. You can beat them no matter what, as long as you can defeat these bandy-legged monkeys."

Stauffener, who used "better than me" as an excuse, forced himself to comfort himself, highlighting the core essence of "I'm not afraid of me being bad, as long as the Japanese are worse than me, I can win."

There is no unnecessary pre-war preaching that wastes time and may also be harmful.

With a wave of his hand, Stauffener immediately ordered the expedition.

After secret meetings and private exchanges, a group of German armored soldiers who all knew what they were going to do on the battlefield immediately took orders and dispersed, got on the vehicle according to the prearranged vehicle crew organization, and set off.

Including Stauffenr himself, he also led his four crew members to select a Tiger tank that was in the best condition and had the blue identification flag hung on it.

I had just sat down in the commander's seat, fiddling with a familiar set of commander's equipment in front of me, making final adjustments and preparations before departure.

Stauffener himself had not said anything yet, but he heard the gunner who had just sat on the gun position in front of him quietly speak.

"It's unbelievable that now we actually have to fight for the Russians against the Japanese?! Damn it! This is not what I became a soldier for!"

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, whatever you think. But at least it will allow you to survive. If you continue to follow those Japanese monkeys, you will only die."

"I've had enough of this damn war. I don't care about anything else. I just want to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and live a good life. I swear I will never enter a tank again for the rest of my life. I just want to find my family to accompany me." They live an ordinary life.”

"As for me, I fought for nearly 10 years, but what did I get in the end? Nothing. I even became a subjugated slave living in a foreign country. What a fucking waste of time and life! Fucking wash your hair. Man, go to hell!"

Listening to the surroundings, the other four crew members in the car finished their speeches one after another.

Stauffener, who had no complaints or anything special to say, just pressed the call button on the radio and gave an order.

"Attention all crews, "Head Wolf" calls, communication check."

"Now move to the specified coordinate location according to the predetermined plan and start taking action."
