Chapter 19 Before the War (3)

I had no choice but to speed up the plot and no longer speed up the pace. I think... the more you watch, the more you become confused.

My fault!

Logistics no longer pays attention to rewriting.

On February 2, 1934, the last day of February, the first armored defense division of the Berlin Military Region was ordered to transfer secretly.

According to legend, ancient Rome has always regarded February as the most suitable month of the year for the execution of prisoners. Hitler obviously agrees that this month is suitable for soldiers to set off to punish the "criminal" people.

One tank after another was transferred to the train and covered with gray canvas. The soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division were settled in the train compartment, and the soldiers were crowded together. They didn't know where they were going or what to do. The soldiers' faces were confused. They held the Mauser 9k rifle tightly, hoping to have a little more security.

The individual soldier's portable backpack is placed beside the hammock, which can hold many things, such as a set of underwear, socks for changing washing, a pair of slippers, or other necessities for daily life.

Military uniforms are marching uniforms;

A pair of gray trousers, the legs of the trousers were tucked into the boots, and many soldiers tied bayonets to their calves, and the pair of cowhide boots were tied very firmly. This was a pair of military boots with steel soles, which felt very realistic when stepped on. The military uniform had two chest pockets and two closure pockets, and two buckle loops at the back waist to wear belts. Each soldier had a bag of skin disinfectant or a small first aid kit in the inner bag of the clothes.

The steel kettle and 33-type steel helmets were also hung on hammock rope covers. The soldiers were wearing a field beanie hat, which was shaped like a ship. The soldiers usually called this hat the "ship hat". Each soldier also had a half-waisted armed belt around his waist, which was a tool for placing bullets. Each soldier carried 45 rifle bullets with him. During wartime, their squad leader and company would collect ammunition from the logistics company and receive reasonable ammunition depending on the intensity of the war.

Lieutenant Alfred Maximilian was the company commander of the Second Regiment, the Fourth Battalion, and the Fourth Company. He was fortunate to stand by the window of the carriage and look at the scenery outside, rather than huddling in the hammocks in the carriage like ordinary soldiers.

Maximilian didn't know where he was going to fight? He had never heard of war in the empire! A little change? It seemed that it was a strategic change. He watched one Type 2 tank after another outside was covered with camouflage canvas. Some fierce military jeeps were hung with iron chains and were directly locked and swayed in the air. However, soon some engineers crawled to fix them with racks.

‘Tingding…’ A neat footsteps made many soldiers squeeze towards the window curiously. They saw a group of soldiers in armored division uniforms standing next to the train in a square formation, and the two generals stood on the train and were talking to them.

"Lieutenant, what are they doing?" Lieutenant Hannibal was a platoon leader in Maximilian Company. A night of fresh breeze participated.

Maximilian frowned and patted the paws of his shoulders off, "Secretary, I hope you maintain the honor of an officer. You shouldn't ask, don't ask so much."

Everyone who heard this sentence swallowed and stopped talking.

...

Guderian stood on the train and looked at his soldiers. His face was very serious, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he did not speak, but turned to Loeb and asked, "General Loeb, you will speak to them?"

Loeb? That's right, it's Loeb who loves to show off. As the combat commander of this time, he will board the train and go to the Ruhr Industrial Zone with his direct 7th Infantry Division and the First Armored Division of the National Defense Forces to wait for orders.

Loeb was just quarreling with Braushichi. When he heard Guderian's words, he turned Bulshichi, the old guy in his mind, and then slowly walked forward.

"Brave soldiers! Dear warriors; you have worked hard to complete the training in the hard years of the past.

I want to tell you; we will fight a long war, and it is also an arduous war. I hope you will fight bravely and proudly for your motherland.

You are all extraordinary groups, always closely connected with each other. This friendship only exists in men's sweat and hard battles. Between brothers, you must care for each other, and in the future you will use a foxhole together. When you need it the most, support each other.

You are going to face death together and go through hardships together! I am very happy to serve with each of you.

You have no right to enjoy a happy and peaceful life, our motherland…”

It is hard to imagine that Loeb has a sentimental side, and the soldiers of the armored division listen attentively, while the infantry brothers who were packed in the carriage in the distance were also listening.

"Our dignity will be taken back from the moment we climb the train! Perhaps... one day, I will die honorably before you." In order to show his excitement, Loeb took a step forward, feeling as if he was pushed by someone...

"We...ah!!!" In an instant, he stepped out of the air and disappeared from everyone's sight very casually, lying straight on the train tracks and 'hum'.

...

“…”

"?"

Guderian was stunned, the armored soldiers below were also stunned, and the infantry in the distance were even more dumbfounded.

A military policeman at a station ran over quickly and looked down with his head. He was very worried, afraid that he would respond to the words, "I will die honorably before you."

But...who recommended Loeb?

Braushich has now been promoted to Lieutenant General and has been appointed as chief staff officer of the Armored Division. In order to gain this position, he refused the transfer order to directly serve in the command.

Braushichi walked out with a spring breeze on his face, without even looking at Loeb, who had crawled out of the train's sank track, and saluted the soldiers: "Even if we all die in battle!"

All the soldiers stood attentively, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Even if we all die in battle, Germany will still exist!"

Xu Yang walked out of the queue. His military rank had been replaced with armored division-style lieutenant epaulette. After several years of military career, his skin was tanned. He walked slowly to the train in a goose step, saluted the generals on the roof of the train, turned around and shouted: "For honor!"

The soldier responded: "For the Empire!"

Everyone shouted: "For victory!"

Guderian raised his right hand and waved it down hard: "Car!!!"

...

The train loaded with Type 1 tanks and infantry divisions in the distance made a whistle sound, and the entire body shook and slowly started to move.

Maximilian was a little stunned, and turned around and asked, "Did you see it?"

The soldiers in his company nodded hesitantly.

Hannibal said bluntly: "That... Lieutenant General Braushici pushed General Loeb...????"

Everyone nodded wildly and said that they also saw it. Their expression seemed to be dreaming. A German general pushed another German general down from a one-person train. This... seems to be the first time?

Hannibal asked in a low voice: "His Excellency Braushich hates General Loeb?"

Maximilian exhaled softly, and his nervousness disappeared as Blaushich pushed Loeb off the train. At this moment, he felt extremely relaxed. He looked at the young men in his company, and the tension and confusion on their faces also disappeared, and at this time he changed to expectations for the future.

"The generals are really good!" Maximilian thought that the generals were designed to relieve the soldiers' progress. He whispered unconsciously: "It seems that it is very good to work under their hands?"

The train started to drive 'boom-boom-'...
Chapter completed!
