In the newly established staff room at the Berlin Presidential Palace, Lin En looked at the combat map in a blind eye. Since the Soviet army crossed the Ode River and entered Germany, it has advanced to Berlin with a powerful central corps. Except for a little resistance on the border defense line, the German army did not dare to face each other head-on along the way. The only factor that delayed the Soviet offensive pace was probably the Germans' active destruction of the roads and bridges; on the north and south wings, the Soviet mechanized troops led by armored vanguards quickly overcame the troubles caused by the German team and successively seized many strategic areas in northeastern and southeast Germany.

, gradually formed an encirclement force of Berlin. The intelligence analysis on the battlefield was integrated. The total strength of the Soviet army in the three routes exceeded 700,000, and countless follow-up troops were continuously entering the German territory through the floating bridge on the Ode River. On the western border of the Czech Republic and northwestern Austria, although the Soviet mechanized corps could not cross the mountains and launch an attack through the forest, they gathered heavy troops and built fortifications, which made the German team deterred this area that was originally conducive to guerrilla warfare. Once the situation required, the Soviet mountain troops could also break into southern Germany at a faster speed.

From the situation, the Soviet army's "just action" showed an unstoppable momentum from the beginning, which would undoubtedly make Germans and Western countries frustrated. In Lynn's military strategy, the battle of the soldiers is a very dangerous move. It is so dangerous that a little careless that it may lead to a loss. However, from a long-term perspective, if Germany is unable to get rid of the direct threat of the Soviet Union, it will inevitably have a distorted impact on the national rejuvenation route. Instead of spending the next few decades uneasy, it is better to use a heroic war to change everything. With such courage and determination, Lynn calmly continued to stay in Berlin, commanded the capital's garrison to transfer combat materials in an orderly manner, and protect important scientific researchers and equipment relocation.

Go west and escort foreigners and personnel from all over the world to evacuate the capital - so as not to see and spread the scene of the Soviet army entering Berlin with a arrogant attitude, further shaking the Western camp's unsteady confidence. At the same time, tens of thousands of recruited laborers were still digging positions and fortifications on the periphery of Berlin, and the garrison troops deployed fake targets that had been secretly prepared on these positions. The Soviet reconnaissance planes that had been frequently patronized captured the illusion of German tanks, heavy artillery and a large number of troops preparing to defend Berlin. In fact, the German wartime committee had drafted a diplomatic manuscript to declare Berlin an unguarded city, which could be sent by radio at any time, so no real mine was buried on the roads entering and leaving Berlin!

Five years ago, Million Germans defended the sacred capital with blood and life. If Lynn gave up Berlin without a single shot, even if he could scoop out sufficient strategic reasons, it would be difficult to explain to the people psychologically and spiritually. The Soviet army was so domineering. Democratic Germany urgently needed an extraordinary result to strengthen the will to fight the military and civilians. Due to the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, Lynn could only agree with the imperial generals to fight a quick and quick annihilation battle near Berlin. Now the battlefield situation is clearly in front of him. En thought hard about the map, and the Generals of the Joint Staff far away in Hannover were also searching for the same target, and they finally chose a location, Wanderlitz.

Wanderlitz, an ordinary town in Brandenburg, Germany. It is located in the north of Berlin, about 30 kilometers away from the center of Berlin. It can block the enemy from entering the city of Berlin from the north. Its area is only more than 100 square kilometers, with a population of only 20,000, and the scale and density of buildings are nothing special. It is impossible to fight a Stalingrad-style defensive battle based on such a town. As the vanguard troops of the Soviet North Wing Corps approached quickly, the newly formed German 6th Infantry Army stationed in northern Berlin retreated step by step. Although there was no serious loss, it could not resist the strong combat power of the Soviet armored forces. The German Joint Staff seized the opportunity to make arrangements, transferred 55,000 people from the Empire's 2nd Expeditionary Corps and 82,000 people from the German Army's 2nd Army to Wanderlitz overnight, and stood for a secret place in the woods in the northwest and southwest of the city.

After careful battlefield reconnaissance, the German army learned that the Soviet vanguards, which were closely following the 6th German Infantry Army, belonged to the 11th Army of the Carpathian-Berlin Tank. This elite unit with honor was established in 1942 and participated in the Lezhev-Sechevka offensive battle, the Battle of Kursk, the Belgorod-Kharkov offensive battle, the Zhitomir-Bertichev offensive battle, and Korson-Shevchenkovsky.

Offensive battle, Proskurov-Chernovice offensive battle, Lviv Sandomizh offensive battle, Warsaw-Poznan offensive battle, East Pomeranian offensive battle and Berlin offensive battle, won countless victories and honors with resolute and brave fighting spirit. There were almost no defeats in this process. From 1946 to 1948, the department fought with the United States, Britain, France and other alliance teams, and staged long-distance raids many times.

The good show of strong attack on the river and encirclement and annihilation was won the reputation of "Soviet bayonet" within the Soviet army, and also became a Soviet ace unit famous for Allied soldiers and commanders. The army carried out reorganization and dressing work in the spring and summer of 1950, and fully equipped with new T-54 tanks, medium-sized tanks equipped with 100mm rifled guns evolved from T-44 tanks. They were manufactured as early as the first year of the end of World War II.

Although the prototype car was affected by the East-West War, it was still mass-produced by mid-1949 and was identified as the new generation of the Soviet army's main tank. In terms of attack power, it was upgraded to a level compared to the T-34/85, and introduced high-low artillery stability and hot smoke screen deployment device. The cast turret continued to maintain the advantage of good bulletproof appearance. The 382-kilowatt water-cooled diesel engine provided strong power for the 36-ton tank.

With T-54 and a considerable proportion of self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles, the Soviet army has entered a truly mechanized combat. Not to mention how many such troops are in the entire Soviet army, the Soviet officers and soldiers of the 11th Army of the Guards Red Flag Carpathian-Berlin Tank are advancing towards Berlin with a contempt for the enemy. Perhaps in the eyes of some of them, as long as the red flag is planted into Berlin's landmark building again, the war will end with the overwhelming victory of the Soviet Union. How to deal with the defeated country next will be a question for politicians. Frontline officers and soldiers can enjoy the warm autumn sunshine and everything the winner should enjoy in Germany, and then return with reputation and receive applause and flowers from the people of the country. When they learned that their vanguard, a tank column of the 200th Tank Brigade, was caught about 30 kilometers from the city of Berlin.

When the enemy ambushed and suffered heavy losses, almost everyone felt that the German army was fighting to defend the capital, and this effort would eventually be crushed by the tracks of Soviet tanks. The commander of the 200th Tank Brigade quickly drew a tank battalion to reinforce the vanguard. The main troops of the 200th Tank Brigade, the 22nd Tank Brigade, the 6th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and the 100th Tank Brigade were still along the trunk road in northeast Germany to Berlin, a highway from east Wanderlitz and penetrated into the ring road in northeast Berlin, which was a significant result of Germany's development of expressways in the 1930s. Without any obstacles, driving a fuel-filled T-54 can drive from the Port of Steding, originally belonging to Germany to Berlin in three hours. Now the Soviet tankers have spent three days on this road, and the distance from Berlin is still beyond the scale boundary...

On the night of September 17, the Annihilation of Wandlitz began. The 1st and 4th Infantry Regiments of the Imperial Guards Army, with six additional reinforced anti-tank companies, suddenly attacked the Soviet 200th Tank Brigade east of Wandlitz. Although the Soviet officers and soldiers had been on guard and launched combat deployment along the road while advancing, the heavy guided rockets of the Imperial Team still destroyed several T-54 tanks, Su-122 self-propelled artillery and Soviet personnel carriers from a relatively long distance. Faced with the sudden and fierce fire strike, the Soviet army was preparing to implement combat commands for on-site counterattacks at the beginning, but the rapid rising casualties made them realize the difficulties in their situation. They had to organize defense while pointing to the

The command center asked for help. At this time, the command of the 200th Brigade was only three kilometers away from the battlefield. Brigade Commander Velistov immediately mobilized troops to reinforce, and dispatched two tank battalions of the rear team to encircle the German blocking troops left and right, and at the same time reported his deployment to the army command. Soon, the German troops advancing to the northeast of Wandlitz observed a Soviet armored unit leaving the main road and advancing towards Wandlitz. According to the combat deployment, the Imperial team, which successfully blocked the Soviet vanguard, immediately retreated to the city of Wandlitz, inducing the Soviet 200th Tank Brigade to suspend its advance towards Berlin and turn to the south of Wandlitz, intending to encircle and annihilate this German unit with great combat effectiveness in Wandlitz.

When the Soviet troops approached Wandlitz, the German artillery deployed in the city opened fire together and bombarded the Soviet tank troops with fierce rapid fire. Conventional artillery fire did not cause much damage to Soviet tanks and self-propelled artillery, but it gave the Soviet commanders an illusion that the German army had assembled a strong force to defend Wandlitz.

In order to annihilate the German troops guarding the north gate of Berlin, more troops belonging to the 11th Soviet tank guards left the original route and surrounded Wandlitz. Although their rich battlefield experience allowed them to maintain reasonable flanking alerts, their opponents with clear purpose tried their best to hide their strength, allowing them to step by step towards this difficult trap. Near midnight, the combat reconnaissance forces sent by the 22nd Tank Brigade of the Soviet Army attacked the city of Wandlitz and destroyed them.

After a heavy artillery position of the German army, the unexpected surprise stimulated the nerves of the Soviet commander. Seeing that the 200th Brigade, which was surrounded from the south, had already arrived at the battlefield, the 6th Mechanized Infantry Brigade also arrived at the battlefield. The army command issued an order to attack immediately. At this time, the Mechanized 6th Army, which followed the 11th Guard Tank Army to Berlin, was only barely maintaining contact with friendly forces due to the slowdown in rest and supply after nightfall.
