Predatory map of ominous birds

Fafnir arrived at the front line of Belarus in October. The train basically drove directly to the first-line railway and unloaded directly, putting Fafnir and his chariot directly on the front line.As soon as Fafnir got out of the car, he had to prepare to resist the impact of the Soviet army.

At this time, the strategic situation of the German army is already in a mess. In the north - the Northern Army Group has been repulsed, the Soviet Red Army has entered Finland, fully recovered the Baltic Sea coast, the forward has entered Lithuania, and the German Northern Army Group is already a term on paper. , the remnants of the defeated generals retreated into Poland; in the south—the South Army Group has also been defeated, retreating into the Romanian border like an ebb tide, and the Soviet Red Army has regained most of Ukraine's land; the Central Army Group still occupies a small half of Ukraine And most of Belarus, but the strategic situation is extremely bad. The Soviet army has formed a situation of encirclement of the Central Army Group from the north and south wings.The only thing that can let the Germans breathe a sigh of relief is that the Soviet Red Army also suffered huge losses in the strategic offensive launched in 1944. It is very likely that they will not be able to launch an encirclement and suppression of the salient part of the Central Army Group within half a month. However, it seems that the loss is also heavy The German North and South two army groups, the German General Staff is also unable to bring the war situation back...

Moreover, after the entire month of September, the Soviet Red Army has concentrated a large number of troops and weapons in front of the Central Army Group, and the north and south wings are also preparing to attack centripetally to cut off the Central Army Group's back.The Central Army Group is already at an obvious disadvantage in terms of strength and weapons - the number of cutting-edge tanks compared with the number of new Russian Stalin 9 tanks is a tragedy, and the artillery is even more disadvantaged. Only the Air Force can balance it out in terms of quality Soviet Red Air Force.

Fafnir fought fiercely on the front line throughout October. The e10b army group only had more than 50 vehicles, but he also saw a new type of e-series—the e100 with a huge body. The e100 was equipped with a 128l68 artillery , the speed is not fast but the defense is amazing, the only disadvantage is that the number is too small, there are no more than 10 vehicles, and all of them are from the newly-organized 611 and 612 super heavy tank battalions. As a defensive backbone, e100 is quite qualified. It is born with a mocking face and is resistant to beatings, which makes it super capable of attracting firepower. The Tiger King, e50, and Black Panther next to it can take the opportunity to steal chickens.

In late October, the German General Staff finally ignored the Fuehrer's roar and began a belated and comprehensive retreat of the Central Army Group.And a week before this, the Russians had launched a full-scale offensive in three directions!

The German troops retreated hastily, destroying all visible Soviet houses, factories, fields and roads along the way.But all of this can only arouse the greater anger of the Soviet Red Army and fail to delay the pace of the Red Army's offensive for long.Fafnir and his 503rd Battalion have been fighting on the front line of Belarus, which is directly facing the impact of the Soviet Red Army.Every day they had to repel at least ten waves of the Soviet Red Army's impact, and then struggled to climb back in the gap between the impacts. At the same time, they also had to cover the engineering troops to blow up roads, railways and various bridges. They suffered heavy losses!Before the battle of the whole battalion, there were still 13 e50bs and 17 King Tigers and a total of 20 Panthers and No. 4 tanks. Only 9 e50s and 11 King Tigers were still able to fight after only one week, and the rest of the tanks were all lost. irreparable.After suffering heavy losses, the Central Army Group finally withdrew from the entire territory of Belarus and Ukraine in mid-November. Thanks to the desperate resistance of the German troops on the north and south wings regardless of casualties, the Central Army Group finally came to Poland and Romania in an organized manner.They lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of tanks and artillery, and returned to the original point in 11 in embarrassment.The morale of the Soviet Red Army in front of them was high. Although they also suffered huge losses, they finally regained the entire country after three years of arduous fighting, and the leader also called on them to "kill this fascist beast in their evil lair!" The Soviet Union The Red Army is in high spirits, ready to attack Poland and Romania until they reach Berlin!

The situation on the Western Front was not optimistic either. The Allied forces used their incomparably powerful logistical capabilities to squeeze the Germans out of the front line like a rising tide. In October, after a month of bitter fighting, the Germans were finally unable to defend against the Allied offensive in three directions. They let go of the southern front, allowing the Allied forces to drive straight into Vichy France, and their forces shrank to the front line of Paris. The main force left Paris and retreated directly into the Ardennes, the German-French border, Belgium and the Netherlands.The German commander in charge of defending Paris did not execute the order to "turn Paris into a sea of ​​fire", but directly ordered the troops stationed in Paris to surrender. Fortunately, most of the troops stationed in Paris today are servants of Vichy France and other parts of Germany military.

In November, Marshal Montgomery lost his reputation.The "market garden" operation he launched was a complete failure.The British 11th Army that launched the attack failed to even break through the German defenses, while the airborne US 30nd and 82st Airborne Divisions, the British 101st Airborne Division and the Polish Airborne Brigade were wiped out, and no one from the division commander to the soldiers escaped. German armored division ambush circle in the Netherlands.Second Lieutenant O'Brien performed outstandingly. His stalkers were relaxed and happy in hunting down airborne light armored vehicles, destroying the US and British trucks and armored vehicles that had finally landed one by one, just like shooting targets in training.German losses in the entire Market Garden operation were slight-only 2000 soldiers were killed, 4000 were injured, no more than 20 tanks and assault guns were lost, and 35 aircraft were lost.The Allied forces suffered huge losses-4 soldiers were killed or captured, 1500 trucks, armored vehicles, and tanks were destroyed or captured, 600 artillery pieces were destroyed or captured, and 120 transport planes, fighter jets, and bombers were shot down. And asked to retire from active service.

The German High Command seems to have been injected with a shot in the arm. They passed a plan to launch an armored counterattack in the Ardennes area in December-the plan is to launch a powerful tank offensive in the Ardennes area, striving to capture the coastal area and cut off the The main logistics supply line of the Allied forces that has broken into Belgium is trying to annihilate the Belgian main force of the Allied forces so as to get a chance to negotiate a separate peace with the Allied forces.

1944年12月19日，德国人在阿登地区集中了大量装甲兵力，合计有501和502独立重坦克营，武装党卫队的101和102重坦克营、武装党卫队的其他精锐兵力——第九、第十、No.12装甲师共计450辆坦克，其中e50有45辆，虎王有60辆，虎有34辆并二百辆黑豹和其他数量不多的重型突击炮，甚至还将刚刚出厂的3辆e100也投入了这场战役。
