"Sir, the command has issued a new order to us." The camera cuts back to Lieutenant Heim.

"I guess I went to a certain armored soldier academy in the back and picked up the instruction stick from now on." The camera was transferred to Sergeant Tyne.

"It seems that's the case." Lieutenant Stevebel, who received the documents from the company commander Lieutenant Hummel, quickly scanned it: "General Guderian suggested that the scattered organization of students and technicians from different armored corps academies be merged into an elite armored force, and 130 armored tutors were established in the Nancy-Veldon region of France."

Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, a German general, military strategist, and the founder of "Blitzkrieg". He was an important promoter of using tanks and mechanized troops in modern wars before the outbreak of World War II. Under his organization and promotion, Nazi Germany established an armored force with the most efficient combat operations at that time. Historians called him the "father of Blitzkrieg". He was one of the famous German army generals in World War II. With Manstein and Rommel were later known as the three famous German generals in World War II.

"What about our company?" asked Sergeant Cruzer.

"The 2nd Company of the 504th Battalion was disbanded on the spot." Second Lieutenant Steibel repeatedly confirmed that the documents were not wrong in black and white.

"Hu——" I don't know who was the officers and soldiers of the second company breathed a sigh of relief outside the camera. The full emotions were also passed on to the audience in front of the big screen. Someone in the audience in front of the big screen began to whisper.

"We are tank soldiers, and we can only exert all our combat effectiveness in the tank." Company Commander Lieutenant Hummel tried to comfort the remaining comrades in the 2nd Company of the 504th Battalion: "Teaching students to train qualified recruits for the empire is the best place to go now. And it seems that there are still some battles in this battle."

"That's right." Lieutenant Heim nodded slightly: "It's not too boring to train new recruits in the days of waiting for the new tanks."

"Anyway, it's all about driving the tank." Sergeant Tyne gestured to drive the tank.

"Sir, when will we set out?" Sergeant Cruz asked.

"It's now." Lieutenant Stevebel showed everyone the documents in his hand: "Then we have a month's rest. Then we took the military plane to France to participate in the formation of 130 armored mentors."

"Okay, sir." After hearing the month of vacation, Sergeant Cruz finally had a smile on his face.

"Sela is a good girl." Lieutenant Hummel, the company commander, explained Sergeant Cruze's thoughts.

"Yes, sir." Sergeant Cruze responded generously. This is not a secret.

"If you want to get the heart of a girl, just writing a letter is not enough..."

The 2nd Company of the 504th Battalion, which had been disbanded on the spot from the moment of receiving the order (the 2nd Company, which had suffered heavy losses in the Sicily landing battle in history, was withdrawn to the Netherlands for rest. Later, it merged with the 18th Armored Battalion to reorganize the 504th Heavy Tank Battalion, and the training and receiving equipment were carried out in Germany. On November 18, 1943, the 504th Heavy Tank Battalion, which completed the reorganization, had three tank companies under its jurisdiction, all of which were fully equipped. In July 1944, when the 504th Heavy Tank Battalion returned to Italy, it was assigned to the 17th Berlisingen Division of the SS. The first battle of the reorganized 504th Battalion in Italy was to provide support for the 362nd Infantry Division and prevented the Allies from landing in Anqiao.

In-depth development. On August 12, 1944, the 504th Battalion was assigned to the Ligurian Army. Since then, the 504th Battalion was very active in the Italian battlefield, participating in defense operations including the Battle of the Yalo River and in northern Italy. At the end of 1944, the 504th Battalion was partially equipped with a tiger king tank in Vienna. From autumn to winter in 1944, the 504th Battalion was sent to the Gothic defense line in Rimini, where he fought with the British army until his surrender on May 3, 1945. The officers and soldiers, who were full of life during the short battle intervals, unknowingly grabbed the heartstrings of all the audiences in front of the big screen, half of the company commander Lieutenant Hummel suddenly raised his fingers in his ear.

The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Company of the 504th Battalion in the air-raid shelter immediately stopped the topic.

The whistle of the heavy naval gun immediately slashed the top of the head.

"Enemy attack!"

"Boom--" There was a loud bang, and the earth shook.

The audience's emotions that had just soothed with the plot were once again tightened by the exciting plot.

In fact, in the real history of World War II, after the Sicily landing war started, the United Kingdom-US Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee judged the situation and approved a new plan. Perhaps because the Italian army's performance in Sicily was really unsatisfactory, or perhaps because the German army's weak force in Italy, the Allied forces seemed to be confident and were ready to implement landings in three regions at once: the first was the British 8th Army landing in Calabria on the Italian boot-shaped peninsula, with the combat plan code-named "Bay Town"; the second was the British 1st Airborne Division landing in Taranto, an important Italian military port, with the combat plan code-named "Speaker"; the third was the US 5th Army landing in Salerno, with the combat plan code-named "Avalanche".

Among these three login plans, the Calabria login was first implemented.

As early as August 16, before the Battle of Sicily was over, Harold Alexander, commander of the 15th Army Group, who had organized the Great Retreat of Dunkirk, issued a formal order to Montgomery, commander of the 8th Army Group, who implemented the "Bay Town Operation Plan". In this formal order, Alexander emphasized, "Please remember that the more enemy forces you restrain in southern Italy, the more helpful it will be for avalanche combat."

At this moment, the movie presents the improved version of the "Bay Town Operation" of the United Kingdom-American Joint Chiefs of Staff under the "Battletown Operation" under the "Big Battle" "a similar and similar plot fragments of World War II plot fragments, and the fusion of time and space in the "Big Battle".

As the movie scene stopped shaking, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Company of the 504th Battalion, who survived the disaster, crawled out of the air-raid shelter crater buried by sand and soil one after another.

"Everyone is fine," shouted Lieutenant Steibel.

"I'm fine." Sergeant Cruzer followed him out of the crater.

"I'm OK." Sergeant Tyne grabbed Sergeant Cruz's hand to escape.

Soon, everyone fled intact the air raid shelter that was blown into a huge crater.

"Sir, do you want to execute the order?" The audience in front of the screen understood the meaning of Lieutenant Steibel. Just now, the 2nd Company of the 504th Battalion had been disbanded on the spot. The command gave them the order to go to the rear immediately to rest, so they could completely ignore this battle and get out safely.

"The three trenches have just been formed and have not yet built a complete defensive position." Lieutenant Hummel, the company commander, judged the situation: "First stabilize the defense, then execute the order."

"As for orders, sir."

"Be careful, the landing craft is coming!"

Under the cover of dense artillery fire, the Allied vanguard began to charge towards the beachhead.

"Second Company, come with me!" Lieutenant Hummel pulled out his gun and jumped out of the trench.
Chapter completed!
