Third Reich: I took over power

"Your Excellency, after the second round of military expansion is completed, the Army of the Third Reich will reorganize thirty-five infantry divisions."General Bromberg said.

Hess nodded. Thirty-five infantry divisions may not seem like many. However, with the powerful combat effectiveness of these infantry divisions, they will undoubtedly be able to defeat more enemies.

You know, On the battlefield, the Army of the Third Reich has never won victory based on superior strength. Instead, it directly defeated the enemy with strong combat effectiveness.

Under the leadership of Hess, the firepower of the infantry division has been further strengthened. It is foreseeable that , these infantry divisions will perform even better on the battlefield

"Your Excellency, in addition to infantry divisions, the Army also has armored divisions. At present, the 1st Armored Division has formed combat effectiveness. The Second Armored Division and the Third Armored Division are being formed. In the next three years, we also plan to form 7 armored divisions, bringing the number of armored divisions in the Imperial Army to ten!"Admiral Bromberg said

"Can! Although the armored force is huge. However, it is also very useful on the battlefield. It is completely necessary to form ten armored divisions!"Hess agreed with the Army's plan to form ten armored divisions.

Subsequently, Hess approved the organization plan of the armored forces submitted by the Army.

Each armored division has one tank regiment and two mechanized infantry regiments.

Under the tank regiment It has three tank battalions, each equipped with 60 tanks. Each tank company is equipped with 18 tanks, plus the six tanks of the battalion headquarters, forming a tank battalion.

Each tank regiment has a total of 180 tanks. tanks.

Each mechanized infantry regiment has one tank battalion and two mechanized infantry battalions.

The mechanized infantry battalion is equipped with two combat vehicles. One is a Hyena infantry fighting vehicle with a tracked structure and a front armor thickness of 20 mm. , the side and rear armor is 15 mm. It is equipped with a 20 mm rapid-fire cannon and a 7.92 mm general machine gun. In addition to the driver and electromechanical crew, five members can ride in the rear. There are shooting holes on the body, which can be fired on the vehicle Shooting from the inside out.

The other is a Hound armored personnel carrier, which uses a half-track structure. The front armor is 20 mm, and the side and rear armor are 15 mm. It is equipped with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and a 7.92 mm General machine gun. In addition to the driver and electromechanical crew, five members can sit in the back. There are also shooting holes on the body for external shooting.

Each mechanized infantry squad is equipped with a Hyena infantry fighting vehicle and a Hound armored vehicle. Personnel carriers.

In this way, a mechanized infantry battalion is equipped with fifty Hyena infantry fighting vehicles and fifty Hound armored personnel carriers.

In this way, the armored division of the Third Reich is equipped with 300 tanks and 200 Hyenas. Infantry fighting vehicles and two hundred Hound-type armored personnel carriers.

In addition, the Armored Division also has an artillery regiment equipped with 18 150 mm self-propelled howitzers and 36 105 mm self-propelled howitzers. Each tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment , each equipped with a company of 6 105mm self-propelled howitzers.

The division reconnaissance battalion and power search battalion are equipped with a small number of Wolf tanks, Hyena infantry fighting vehicles and Hound armored personnel carriers.

In addition to the division headquarters, Engineer battalions and baggage troops.

The strength of each armored division has reached more than 12,000 people, and the number of tanks has reached more than 300.

At present, these tanks are Wolf light tanks. After the Panther tank is mass-produced, Some tank battalions in the armored division will be replaced by Panther tank battalions.

As for the future Tiger heavy tanks, whether they will be incorporated into various armored units or put into the battlefield as independent heavy tank battalions, we have to wait and see. The specific situation.

Compared with the armored divisions of the Third Reich in another time and space, the armored divisions in this time and space are undoubtedly larger and equipped with more tanks. The armored divisions in another time and space generally only have more than two hundred tanks.

There are half as many armored divisions in this time and space.

Of course, there is no way to compare with the heavy armored divisions of Yingjiang on the other side of the ocean. Yingjiang is rich and powerful. Each heavy armored division is equipped with 152 light tanks and 232 medium tanks..The number of tanks equipped by each division reached 380. Even the light armored division was equipped with 77 light tanks and 168 medium tanks, and the number of tanks reached 245.

In another World War II in time and space, Eagle Sauce However, 16 armored divisions were formed, including two heavy armored divisions and 14 light armored divisions. In addition, there are a large number of independent tank battalions.

Of course, the performance of Eagle Sauce's tanks is very poor. Whether it is the M3 light tank, the M3Lee medium tank, or the M4 medium tank, they are no match for the Panther medium tank of the Third Reich. Not to mention facing the Tiger heavy tank, it is even more vulnerable.

The only advantage is that Yingjiang's strong industrial strength allows it to launch crazy troops and drown the enemy in a sea of ​​tanks.
