244. Skeleton Commandos - Strike!
"Col. Ernst, General Von Bello, requested that the Skeleton Commando be placed on the Capoleto front line, and this request has been approved!"
"I understand, General Galvitz!" Wang Weiyi did not hesitate at all.
What is the most important thing for a soldier? Continuously win in war, win one after another, and establish your own supreme merits.
And now the Skeleton Commando has undoubtedly become the guarantee of victory!
Ernst Bryme - represents the symbol of victory!
"I have issued an order on your behalf. The Skeleton Commando has completed its preparations. You can set off when you return to the army." General Galvitz said with a serious expression: "When you get there, you will directly accept General Von Bello's command, but you must remember that you belong to the 2nd Army. Once the Battle of Capoleto is over, I order you to return to the 2nd Army as soon as possible."
"I understand, general!" Wang Weiyi said loudly.
This task is not difficult for Wang Weiyi. Because he is about to face the Italian army... On the battlefield, there is nothing more joyful than fighting with the Italian army...
At the same time, the fifth phase of the "Flyer Mission" has also been started... Mission goal: defeat the Italian army and play freely...
The Skeleton Commando will face the Italian army for the first time, and their mood is not as relaxed as their captain. It is said that the Italian army has a large number of new weapons and is crowded with power. This has restrained a large number of Austro-Hungarian troops.
This is probably a bone that is difficult to chew...
As an intelligence analyst, Elena was protected by Guo Yunfeng and Adolf Hitler in advance and headed to Capoleto to contact General Von Bello.
The main force of the Skeleton Commando will set off in early September...
The Battle of Capoleto begins!
At this time, the skeleton commando had already added 1,200 combat personnel, and they were still elite soldiers carefully selected from each branch.
What made Wang Weiyi most happy was that the a7V tank, which is of great significance in the history of German tank development, finally came out several months ahead of schedule.
Wang Weiyi's appearance changed some things, especially in the tank.
Ernst Breme's use of tanks allowed the Germans to fully realize the power of tanks in war, and thus accelerated the research and development of tanks. Due to the needs of war and the use of ready-made "Holter" tractor chassis, the design work progressed quite quickly.
At the end of August 1917, on the eve of the Skeleton Commando's about to set off, two A7V test vehicles were delivered to the Skeleton Commando.
This kind of crew is 18 people, the main weapon is a 57mm low-speed artillery with a base of 180 shells; the auxiliary weapon is a giant of six Maxim heavy machine guns, "one shot, six guns" with six Maxim heavy machine guns. Although there are still many problems, it is undoubtedly the most advanced combat tank in the world.
It's already very close to modern tanks...
With the support of this powerful weapon, Wang Weiyi was more confident in the upcoming Battle of Capoleto.
Two A7Vs, and four British Mark 1 tanks that were rebuilt after the Battle of Reims-Souisson, were all commanded by Goodrian.
This will be the most powerful and most worthy firepower of the Skeleton Commando on the battlefield!
Not just tanks. At Wang Weiyi's request, a large number of trucks were equipped with Skeleton Commando. This type of truck was equipped with detachable thin steel plates and a Maxim heavy machine gun or Maderson light machine gun for both transportation and combat.
Fire Spitfire and Grenadiers were also equipped in commando teams.
In this way, an armored force with strong deterrence, strong combat power on the battlefield and already has a certain prototype appeared quietly.
And the person who commanded this unit was Colonel Ernst Bryme!
Of course, once such a force is put into combat, the ammunition consumption will be amazing. Apart from the ace skeleton commando among the German aces, the Germans can't afford the second such force...
In early September, the Skeleton Commando officially set off for Capoleto.
A huge skeleton battle flag fluttered in the wind on the a7v tank.
When the convoy and the tanks slowly started, every German officer and soldier knew that a fierce battle was coming! Otherwise, the senior management would not use their treasures!
Skeleton Commando – Attack!
In front is a slow-moving A7V, among which is a truck carrying soldiers, fuel, supplies, and ammunition, and at the end is a Mark 1 type that is pressed.
At the front is a cool "Peugeot Baby" convertible, and the driver Ocus, who sat next to him was the captain of the Skeleton Commando:
Baron Ernst Alexander von Breme!
Since getting this "Peugeot Baby" from Desimov, Wang Weiyi found that he had a little liked riding in this car.
Along the way, this army attracted countless envious and respectful eyes.
In the entire German army, only this unit can enjoy such treatment!
The convoy is not very fast. The theoretical maximum speed of the a7v is only ten kilometers per hour. You can't expect this bulky and powerful weapon to run as fast as the "Peugeot Baby".
In the sky, some escort planes appeared, which were the first flight wing commanded by Richterhoven. This unlucky guy was really imprisoned for seven days.
Richterhofen was always thinking about taking revenge on Ernst Bryme, but now there is no way, he has to honestly escort him...
"Aus, your driving skills are getting better and better." Wang Weiyi turned around and said, looking back at his troops.
"Ah, yes, colonel." Ocus focused on the steering wheel in his hand: "It's my honor to drive for the Skeleton Baron... But to be honest, I'm not particularly satisfied with this car..."
"There is a good car in the future." Wang Weiyi smiled: "Ocus, are you from Berlin?"
"Ah, yes, colonel." Okus replied casually.
Wang Weiyi smiled again: "Do you often go to the Countess' manor?"
"Ah... which countess? Colonel, I don't recognize any countess." Ocus's face changed slightly, and he said quickly.
"Countess Leonie." Wang Weiyi said this name lightly: "Ah, Okus, don't tell me that I don't know you. I still have some information sources..."
Ocus smiled bitterly: "Well, Colonel, I am the nephew of the housekeeper Deppsey... Colonel, since you already know, I have nothing to hide from you. The Countess and I did say something about you, but what I can guarantee is that I have not betrayed you, and I am not a traitor to the Skeleton Commando..."
"I didn't say you were a traitor, Ocus..." Wang Weiyi calmly told his subordinate: "But you have some things you have to clearly distinguish, who you are, and who are you doing things for. Butler Deppsey is your uncle, and that's right. When you see him, you can talk to him about some weather and women, but I don't think telling him what the commando did is what a soldier should do... betrayal is divided into many kinds..."
He was a little nervous when he saw Ocus: "Aus, relax, look at the road ahead... I don't want to pursue the past anymore, but I don't want to see it again. If something similar happens again, I firmly believe that I will remove you from the Skeleton Commando."
"Yes, I promise, Colonel." Ocus shivered.
It would be a huge shame to be removed from the Skeleton Commando! This is the most elite unit of the German army, and the ace unit that countless German officers and soldiers yearn for!
Ocus swore that he would never tell his uncle and the countess anything about the Skeleton Baron, who was the one who did what he said.
Wang Weiyi also felt much more relaxed, and the person whom the Countess arranged by him was finally discovered.
Although Aucus is loyal, and although the things the Countess knows are not important, it is not so pleasant to have someone else's shadow around him...
......
The convoy traveled for many days, and when they arrived at Capoleto, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The bumps along the way are not fun.
As soon as I entered Villach, I saw countless German soldiers and soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This was the largest mountain war in World War I. The warring sides deployed huge forces and artillery fire here, and their artillery configuration reached the highest density of World War I. The German 14th Army had an average of 207-259 artillery and mortars per kilometer on the front.
Once the war begins, it will be a shocking scene.
Elina, Guo Yunfeng and Hitler who arrived early were already waiting there. After listening to Elina's report briefly, Wang Weiyi ordered the commando to rest for a while and he would go to meet General Feng Beilo in person.
He and General Von Bello are "old friends". This time, General Von Bello personally called the Skeleton Baron to the front line.
Wang Weiyi walked forward a few steps, suddenly remembered something wrong, turned to look at Guo Yunfeng and Hitler, and sure enough, there were two first-class iron cross medals on their military uniforms.
"Where did this come from?" Wang Weiyi was a little surprised.
Elina smiled: "Your Chinese friend and Adolf captured an Italian company in a reconnaissance mission."
"What? How many enemies have been captured? A company?" Wang Weiyi was a little unbelievable: "Are they the only two of them? Miss Heinrich?"
Chapter completed!
