During World War II, the German heavy armored battalion, both in terms of equipment and combat achievements, was definitely considered super eye-catching and shocking.

The general organization of the German heavy armored battalion during World War II was based on the online information of later generations: the battalion company was equipped with 3 command tanks, and the entire battalion had a total of 3 armored companies, each company under its jurisdiction (2 tanks) and 3 armored platoons (4 tanks per platoon), 2+4+4+4, a total of 14 tanks in the entire company and a total of 45 tanks in the entire battalion.

The German army in World War II had about 10 heavy armored battalions, namely the 501st Heavy Armored Battalion, the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion, the 503rd Heavy Armored Battalion, the 504th Heavy Armored Battalion, the 505th Heavy Armored Battalion; the 506th Heavy Armored Battalion, the 507th Heavy Armored Battalion, the 508th Heavy Armored Battalion, and the 510th Heavy Armored Battalion.

But now, whether these 10 heavy armored battalions have been damaged, severely damaged, intact, or under formation, they have all been reorganized into three armored divisions by Chen Yanlong.

According to later information, the establishment of the German Armored Division of World War II said that Guderian's idea, the ideal armored division should be under an armored brigade, with 2 tank regiments (armor regiments), 2 tank battalions (armor battalions), and 4 tank companies per battalion, including 3 light tank companies (equipped with No. 3 tanks) and 1 medium tank company (equipped with No. 4 tanks). Each company has 21 tanks, so the German Armored Division has a total of 336 tanks (according to Sidon's statement, 330 tanks).

However, in order to allow these new armored divisions reorganized from the famous heavy armored battalions in history to have stronger combat capabilities, Chen Yanlong provided these new armored divisions, except for a company of leopard tanks and a company of tiger tanks, all of them were T-54 medium-sized tanks.

In other words, a newly established heavy armored division owns 400 tanks, of which 340 tanks are all T-54 medium tanks.

Moreover, these tanks are equipped with R-112 radio, ab-1-p/30 fuel battery, as well as tpn-1-22-11 night vision instrument and other equipment.

Moreover, their main weapons are still owned by a 100mm tank gun, 1 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, 3 7.62mm parallel machine guns and 1 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. The front armor thickness of the cast turret is 190mm, and the front tilt armor plate thickness of the vehicle body is 100mm.

Strengthening firepower and armor protection has led to the weight of the vehicle. In order not to affect the tank's mobility, these T-54 tanks also have a high-horsepower diesel engine (v-54).

In addition, in the case of a nuclear explosion of 2-15 thousand tons, these T-54 tanks can still survive 300m away from the explosion center. When the distance increases to 700 meters, the members of the vehicle will also have the chance to survive.

In general, the combat performance of this redeemed T-54 medium tank can be comparable to that of the T-55 tank.

At 8 a.m. on July 10, the Eastern Front Battlefield.

Kharkov is the second largest city in Ukraine in the Soviet Union and the largest industrial and transportation center, and the capital of Kharkov Prefecture. It is located at the confluence of the Kharkov River, a tributary of the North Donets River, at the confluence of the Lopan River and the Uda River.

Not long after dawn, the Voronezh Front took the lead in attacking Kharkov with the 5th and 6th Guards Army, the 5th Guards Tank Army, and the 1st Tank Army, the 53th, 69th and 7th Guards Army of the Grassland Front, as well as the mechanized 1st Army of the First Army, and in just half an hour, the entire Kharkov was occupied.

The Bryansk Front Army then led the 3rd and 63rd Army Groups, the 61st Army Group, the 1st Guards Tank Army and the 20th Tank Army to chase and evacuate the remnants of the Kharkov Flying German Army.

At the same time, the Soviet long-range aviation and night bombing aviation also carried out motor-scale felt aviation raids on the German-occupied areas that must be taken near Kharkov at day and night, as well as bombardment of the German artillery positions, defense positions, and military gathering areas that had not been sleepy all night.

The number of these Soviet aircraft is more than 1,500 aircraft each time, and the weight of bombs is more than 1,600 tons.

Faced with round after round of attacks by the Soviet army, Model, who had already evacuated to the rear, did not pay much attention to the bombing and sudden attacks of these Soviet aviation units.

Because every bombing operation of the Soviet aviation troops would be carried out by the German aviation troops dispatched by Chen Yanlong to resist.

That is, when Model and Manstein and others took the initiative to evacuate Kharkov according to Chen Yanlong's wishes and let the Soviet army successfully occupy it, all the aviation troops stationed on the battlefield on the Eastern Front were no longer hiding, but attacking in full force to resist and counterattack.

What he is most concerned about now is the tank troops of the heavy armored divisions reorganized by Chen Yanlong. So when the Soviet army happily occupied Kharkov in full swing, he also came to the 503rd Heavy Armored Division, the first Heavy Armored Division, which had just been reorganized.

This division was merged and replenished by the 501st Heavy Armored Battalion, the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion, the 503rd Heavy Armored Battalion, and the 504th Heavy Armored Battalion.

Originally, Model wanted to change another new name, but Chen Yanlong liked the name of the 503 Heavy Armored Battalion and the achievements of this armored battalion unit, so he directly changed the name of the original 503 Heavy Armored Battalion to the 503 Heavy Armored Division.

After Model finished seeing the state and personnel of this new heavy armored division, he spoke to Commander Elich Hoheiser beside him.

This person was the original lieutenant colonel of the 503rd Heavy Armored Battalion, and was now promoted by Chen Yanlong to the new commander of the 503rd Heavy Armored Division.

"Hey! General Elich! The soldiers of the new armored division you trained are in coordination with the infantry and Tanks, and they are very well trained, and I am very satisfied! And I also believe that the Head of State was also very satisfied after seeing it! The Head of State did not misunderstand the person!"

Model smiled at the other party with a friendly gaze.

"You praise me so much! Marshal Model! In fact, the original team of my 503rd Heavy Armored Division is all the personnel of the most elite Heavy Armored Battalion in the Empire, and they merged together, so it is worth it to have good combat capabilities, and it is nothing extraordinary at all!"

But the commander Elich shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Maybe! At least it's stronger than my tank army group! But I believe that if my tank army group is engaged in coordinated combat with you, your strength will be stronger and better!"

Model smiled and said.

"Well! I agree with you about Marshal, but we don't have the opportunity to fight in practice yet! Actually, I don't understand why we now have so many new types of tank groups and aviation troops! The Head of State did not allow us to fight back on a large scale against the Soviet army that was pressing step by step!"

Commander Elich responded a little disappointed.

"Because the Battle of Sicily has begun, the head of state does not want the two fronts to go together, and now the Italian Prime Minister Mussolini is imprisoned by the Italian king, and Serbia also restrains our hundreds of thousands of troops in the nest, the harbour, his abominable guerrillas, and the members of the People's Army!"

Model smiled deeply and explained.

"I know all these situations, but I just don't want to give up and fled without fighting, so that the Soviet army would give us all the occupied areas that we had worked hard and suffered heavy casualties, and they would give them to our enemy, the Soviet army!"

Commander Elich shook his head and responded in a sad and unwilling tone.

"I know your mood very well! But you don't have to worry about not having the chance to attack the Soviet army, because your battle will come soon!"

Model smiled without any anxiety.

"real?"

Hearing this, the commander Elich stared at Model and asked hurriedly.

"Of course it's true. I came here today to check your strength and status after reorganization, but also to dispatch you to the front-line battlefield to prepare for battle!"

Model replied calmly and calmly.

"Transfer us there to fight?"

Commander Elich shouted excitedly.

"You said that the Soviet army has now fully occupied Kharkov, so where do they want to occupy next?"

Model asked with a smile.

"Is that need to be said? Of course it is the Dnieper River, Isim Taganrog, and Kiev and other war zones!"
