Steel Soviet Union

In the original timeline, the world after 1941 where Malashenko did not exist, the Viking division, which was urgently upgraded to an armored division after the Battle of Kursk, did not have a very powerful armored force. The Haw Par didn't have a single one, and only had a few small and outdated No. 3 and No. 4 recharges. Moreover, they were not in large numbers and could hardly be used. At most, they could only be regarded as a light armored division.

In this world that is completely different from the existing history, time has once again proved one thing with silent facts: the butterfly effect caused by time travelers is a real and complete double-edged sword, and war is the driving force behind human technological progress. The truth of the first motivation is really not false at all.

Germany, which was battered by the powerful Soviet tank force, was forced to speed up the research and development of armored forces and invest more time, energy, manpower and material resources than it had in history. The direct result derived from this is the early release of the German zoo.

Subsequently, due to the intensified spread of the butterfly effect, Black Panther 2, a gadget that should not have been actually manufactured in the existing history, was accelerated in 1944 due to the strong actual needs of the front line. Mass production was achieved and launched on the battlefield.

Another result of the butterfly effect caused by Malashenko is that the current Viking division still has considerable strength even after suffering a huge blow.

Two fully loaded armored regiments were killed by Malashenko's Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, which was equivalent to directly removing an arm of the Viking division.

The remaining armored regiment was still fighting during the day, and the sea battle with the Red Army T34 tanks intercepting them was extremely fierce and the sky was dark. The battle lasted from close to noon until the evening when the troops ceased and the troops were called in gold. It was quite a bit like a miniature version of the Battle of Kursk.

The Viking division, which has a large number of Black Panther 1, Black Panther 2 and a small number of King Tigers, naturally has an undisputed huge advantage when facing T34.

Even though the Russians opposite had replaced nearly half of the new T3485 tanks, this tank, which only had a turret and a gun, was still no match for the elite German armored forces. In terms of cycling performance, it can’t even match the Black Panther 1, let alone the more powerful Black Panther 2 and the King Tiger, which is as big as a moving mountain.

Therefore, even though it faced a huge numerical disadvantage and only invested half of its armor strength, the Viking Division still fought vigorously and achieved good results on the frontal main offensive battlefield during the day.

At the cost of losing 35% of a single armored regiment, most of the Russian Guards Tank Corps on the opposite side was wiped out. The burning remains of T34 tanks can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. The Viking Division's Iron Fist rocket launchers have been installed on a large scale, and they also played an important role in this battle.

Most of those T34s who wanted to rush up and defeat the German tanks at close range were defeated one by one with iron fists by the SS infantry guarding the tanks. The Iron Fist, which can be easily carried by a single soldier, can penetrate the armor with one shot when dealing with the T34, without any ambiguity.

The extremely excited foreign SS soldiers shouted repeatedly that this was a life-saving artifact sent to them by the head of state.

After the day's battle ended, the Viking division, which had been fighting fiercely for a whole day, still retained considerable armor strength. Tiger King, Black Panther 1, Black Panther 2, and the rest of the miscellaneous ones, some of which are even supplemented by No. 3 and No. 4 from the disbanded National Defense Forces, the current Viking division can still be managed. The strength of more than half of the armored regiment can be considered a miracle at the moment.

After receiving the order from division commander Herbert, the Viking division, which was still full of energy and high morale, immediately began to take action.

This group of foreign SS soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies, but they glowed with a high and tenacious willpower that was completely incompatible with their physical condition, or even completely opposite. All the equipment and supplies that could not be taken away were abandoned on the spot, and all the things that could be taken away were loaded into trucks and packed away.

The lack of fuel required for breakout operations is one of the practical problems faced by the Viking Division. Although there is a guarantee of fuel that Strimmermann has previously collected and transferred from the Wehrmacht, it is reasonable to say that it can maintain the minimum fuel for a hundred kilometers of cross-country travel. need.

But Herbert, who believed that he would definitely be able to break through successfully, was obviously not satisfied with this. His pair of sinister eyebrows twitched under his small Himmler-style glasses. He immediately thought of a "bad idea" that could quickly obtain oil but could be called a bold one. This kind of thing can only be done at this special time.

"Scott, take your people and go to the Wehrmacht coward next door to "borrow" some oil. Remember, you must bring all the equipment you need, load the bullets, and you must move quickly!"

The person who was summoned urgently and called Scott was an SS First Class Sturmbannführer. He was not a soldier under Herbert, but an SS Warlow who had been integrated with the Viking division. A battalion commander in the Nigerian Panzergrenadier Brigade.

Herbert admired this young man in his early thirties who fanatically believed in the Führer. He took care of Scott during the days of fighting during the siege of Cherkasy. Several times when Scott and his troops were in danger, it was Herbert who sent reinforcements to save him and his men and fight off the Russians.

The Viking Division and the Walloni Panzergrenadier Brigade, both members of the SS, were now united and reported to the group for warmth. Naturally, they were under the unified command of Herbert, who had the highest military rank and highest position. Scott naturally had no objection to Herbert ordering him a mission, but after understanding the meaning of Herbert's hint, Scott was a little worried.

"General, is this a bit of a precaution? I mean, what if those guys from the National Defense Forces refuse to give us oil?"

Herbert's hint was very obvious. He clearly assigned Scott to grab the fuel. Regardless of whether the National Defense Forces were willing or not, they had to get the necessary fuel back. This was the only task that must be completed.

Scott, who knew that the SS and the Wehrmacht disliked each other, was worried. What if the Wehrmacht were unwilling to give him fuel?

You must know that Commander Stummermann's troops have been disbanded and the order to self-select has been issued. If the Wehrmacht cannot maintain the Wehrmacht, there is still oil that is useful. There is no order from superiors and it is a critical time when supplies are so scarce and the situation is sensitive. Scott is really I'm afraid that if I can't guarantee my errand, something big will happen.

Seeing that Scott was still undecided and hesitant, Herbert, who sneered at the corner of his mouth, was determined to cheer Scott up at the last moment and let him understand "the true meaning of the facts."
