The long army mercedes were running on the rails, and the shaking vibrations came into the carriage rhythmically.

Chen Dao sat on the chair with his arms crossed his chest, looking at the view outside the window and quickly retreating.

It is already the end of April, and in early spring, the whiteness of winter on the ground outside the window has receded, and replaced by fresh green.

Spring is here, the snow is melting, and the muddy period is even more disgusting than winter, and I have to deal with the Russian-style bad roads.

Looking down at the leather boots on their feet that were so bright that they could almost be used as mirrors, Chen Dao couldn't help but observe silently for them in advance.

After getting off the bus, it takes less than five minutes to kill the light on the leather boots under the siege of mud.

Slow, it's too slow!

Departing from Berlin, passing through half of Germany, as well as Poland and Ukraine, all arrive at the Crimean Peninsula in southern Ukraine, is really painful for an airsick criminal.

For a 2,000-kilometer journey, a military train that is often fully loaded or even overloaded and can only travel at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, it takes 40 to 50 hours to reach its destination.

"For a person who often travels for a long distance, he only realized after a jetsickness that he was so happy when he took the high-speed rail."

Chen Dao's sincere sigh immediately attracted the attention of Major Bach, who was sitting opposite him.

"General, what is the high-speed rail?" asked Major Bach.

The word "High-speed rail" was pronounced in Chinese before. When he heard Major Bach's inquiry, Chen Dao had to patiently explain: "High-speed rail is the abbreviation of high-speed rail. I plan to ask engineers to design a high-speed train that can travel at a high speed with a speed of at least 200 kilometers per hour to replace the current old railway line and save our travel time."

"Oh......" Major Bach was obviously not interested in high-speed railways. He sighed and stopped asking questions, looking at the seats around him boredly.

In the seat on his right hand, Captain Nobel and Major Lorentz were playing chess. The two of them had killed many games along the way, but they were still playing with relish.

Behind Major Lorentz, Captain Nietz, who was sitting back to back, was rubbing a gun.

In the seat behind Captain Nobel, two beautiful secretaries were reading books with their little adjutant Sharon.

Everyone in the car seemed to be very busy, but Major Bach still saw the same expression on everyone's faces, which was boring!

Wait, there seems to be one person, Major Bach's eyes stayed on Chen Dao's face sitting opposite him.

On the contrary, there seems to be a powerful momentum hidden behind the boring expression. Where did this momentum come from?

"General, I think that in your current identity, you should stay in Berlin and be with the head of state. Why should you go to the front line and just serve as a commander?" Major Bach asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Chen Dao took out a cigar and held it in his mouth, turned his head to look at the underage adjutant Sharon and two beautiful secretaries who were reading. After a moment of hesitation, he put the cigar back into the cigar box, and said, "I also know that staying with the head of state is more existence, but people always have to pursue it. My current rank is Air Force General, Navy General, Armored General and Armed SS Lieutenant General. I am seriously behind in the ranks of the Army and SS, especially in the ranks of the SS.

That's why I became the commander of the Independent Armored Army of the SS as Lieutenant General of the SS. When the Battle of Crimea ended, I think I should be able to be promoted to the rank of SS, which is one step closer to the highest rank of general in the SS system."

As expected, I guessed right.

The Lord in front of him has the ambition to become the Grand Slam winner of the highest rank of German Air Force, Navy Marshal, Field Marshal and SS General. No wonder he relegated himself to the front line to be a commander.

Looking at Chen Dao, who was two years younger than him, Major Bach was depressed and remembered his rank of major. It would be great if he could be a major general of the Air Force in his life.

As a soldier, why is the difference between being a human being so big?

When Major Bach was secretly sad, he keenly noticed that everyone in the carriage glanced at Chen Dao at the same time.

With this meaningful look from everyone, Major Bach was surprised to notice that a surge of undercurrent suddenly appeared in the originally boring atmosphere in the carriage.

With his instinct to practice with Chen Dao in the north and north for many years, Major Bach quickly analyzed the essence of this undercurrent.

murderous look!

As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the long journey will come to an end.

At about 9 o'clock on the morning of May 1, 1943, the army was parked in Khlsong, an important town on the Dnieper River, and Chen Dao changed into a car and started the second journey under the escort of the guard company.

As Chen Dao expected, after suffering from the ravages of Russian-style roads, Chen Dao pushed open the rear door of the sd KFZ 251 half-track car covered in mud... That's right, it's the rear door of the half-track car.

Chen Dao could not bear the pain of Mercedes-Benz's slipping in the mud that was almost half-wheeled. He changed to a half-track car in anger and then calmed down.

However, when Chen Dao's foot landed, he felt a wet and lingering feeling.

He lowered his head and watched the leather boots sink into the mud that was almost deep into his ankles, Chen Dao's nose gushed out of his nose.

Not to mention five minutes, under such a bad ground, the gorgeous appearance of the boots didn't hold even for five seconds.

Stepping on the mud, Chen Daoshen walked into a school building in Sarabas Village with one foot and one foot.

His superiors, commander of the 12th Army Group of the German Southern Ukrainian Army Group, and General Gedhart Heinrich Infantry Command was located here.

The headquarters' combat command room was set up in a classroom, where most of the tables and chairs were removed. There was a large map table in the middle, and a group of school-level officers were discussing something around the map table.

After the ceremony, Chen Dao squeezed into the crowd and finally found the infantry General Heinrich, who was definitely not tall.

Among all, General Heinrich's height only defeated Mandofir, who was a primary school student, and reached the level of a junior high school student.

"General Rosen, you have finally arrived. We have been waiting for you for a long time. There was just a rain last night. You should have felt the deep malice of this rain, right?"

"Fortunately, it's not the first time I'm shrouded in this kind of malice." Chen Dao said with a smile.

General Heinrich nodded with a smile and said to the chief of staff beside him: "Col. Busey, explain the current situation to General Rosen."

Colonel Busse held the instruction stick and pointed to the map on the table and said, "From the end of last year to the present battle, the Russian defense line was divided into two parts by us. The southern part was the Coastal Independence Army with the Sevastopol Fortress as its main position. On the east side of the fortress, in the Kerch Peninsula area, the Russian Crimean Front was entrenched there.

According to our reconnaissance, this front army has three armies 44, 47 and 51, which have at least fifteen divisions. Our next combat plan is to solve this front army first and then turn back to capture the Sevastopol Fortress.”

Chen Dao's eyes circled between the Sevastopol Fortress and the Kerch Peninsula, and finally landed on the Kerch Peninsula.

"How many troops do we have to destroy this front?"

Colonel Busey said: "The troops we use to deal with them have two infantry troops, five infantry divisions under their command, and the 12th "Hitler Youth" armored grenade division of the SS. We need to distribute troops to monitor the enemies of Sevastopol. The six divisions have a little less force, but now with the independent armored army you command, we have a lot more abundant."

General Heinrich looked at Mandofir, who had taken the military headquarters to the front line in advance and asked Chen Dao: "General Mandofir said that in addition to the Imperial Marshal's Armored Division and the Great German Armored Grenadier Division, there is also a Governor's Guard? What size of the troops is this?"

"My guard is not big and has a heavy armored brigade."

Heinrich's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "High-armored brigade that has been replaced with tiger tanks and wolf infantry fighting vehicles?"

"Yes, the troops have been dressed up." Chen Dao said.

"That's great. We need such heavy troops to split the Russians' defense." Colonel Busse said.

"It is true. With this force, our mission difficulty has been reduced a lot." General Heinrich said.

"General Heinrich, I haven't finished speaking yet." Chen Dao couldn't help but interrupt.

"Sorry, please continue."

Chen Dao said: "My guard has a heavy armored brigade and the 13th Air Force Field Division from the Air Force. This unit was sponsored by Marshal Gorene to protect my safety."

"Air Force Field Division? Is it an anti-aircraft artillery unit?" asked Colonel Busey.

"Yes," Chen Dao frowned, with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone, "In addition to these two troops, my guard also has an honorary Jewish infantry army, with three infantry divisions under his command."

Admiral Heinrich and Colonel Busey did not interrupt, but blinked dullly, and a common idea emerged from his heart.

Is this really an independent army organization?

However, they still underestimated Chen Dao's background, and then heard Chen Dao continue: "My guard has a unit, the 8th Cavalry Division of the SS. However, this unit is currently carrying out the task of destroying guerrillas in Ukraine. If you need it, I can transfer this unit."

When General Heinrich said to Chen Dao, he responded to silence, and Colonel Busey asked tentatively: "All the troops of the Independent Army are here? Is there any?"

Chen Dao scratched his head, thought for a few seconds and said, "There is another army. Inspired by me, a Russian lieutenant general named Vlasov decided to join our great national socialist cause. He summoned a group of volunteers from the captured Russian army to form a Russian People's Liberation Army, with about a group of troops. The second army under this group of army is currently in Ukraine, and I can also transfer them if you need it."

Admiral Heinrich's muscles on his right cheek twitched a few uncontrollably.

Is this really the strength of an independent army? It is stronger than the strength of a group army, but fortunately he is my subordinate. Well, the more subordinates such as this, the better.

"Enough, enough, there is no need to be so much...and so on." Admiral Heinrich's tone increased a little.

His right finger rubbed his chin with his stubble for a few times. General Heinrich said decisively: "General Rosen, transfer all your troops, not all, no less. Colonel Busse, immediately modify our combat plan."

"How to modify it? General." Colonel Busey asked.

"Our original plan was to attack the Kerch Peninsula first and then attack the Sevastopol Fortress. Now with the addition of General Rosen, we have enough troops. I decided to launch an attack on the Kerch Peninsula and the Sevastopol Fortress at the same time, and conquer all Crimea in the shortest time."

"Wouldn't this be too risky?" asked Colonel Busey.

"Yes, it's a bit of a risk, but if the enemy of the Crimean Peninsula can be resolved as soon as possible, our troops will be free to participate in a larger battle. I think proper adventure is necessary.

However, strategically we have to despise the enemy, but tactically we still have to pay attention to the enemy. Therefore, in order to cooperate with General Heinrich's plan, I decided... "At this point, Chen Dao stopped his voice, looked around the people around the map table, and then sang their appetites, and then said: "I decided to bring another army over, which is safer."

"What size of the force? One division or one army?" asked Colonel Busey.

"It's hard to say, I guess it's equivalent to the firepower of an artillery army."

The firepower of an artillery army?

Who is this guy? Is the magician? Admiral Heinrich guessed with kindness.
