Chapter 80

On the outskirts of Freiburg stand a military fortress during the Soviet occupation. Its main body is dilapidated. The collapsed walls, broken crosswoods and mottled bullet marks all evoke memories of those who revisited the old place. 20 months ago, Lynn took his direct troops to return to Germany and returned to Germany, where he and the German warriors started their first battle. At that time, he and the Germanic warriors were like magical weapons coming from the sky, and many Soviet soldiers were killed in a daze. 20 months later, Lynn, as the political head of democratic Germany, came to inspect the new army. Although he no longer wore military uniforms and was wearing weapons, his tempered steel temperament remained unabashed.

Under the black, white and red three-color banner, more than 4,000 German officers and soldiers who transferred from first-level reserve troops to active service seemed full of energy and high fighting spirit. At the army ceremony hosted by the president, they were awarded the number "6th Rapid Infantry Brigade". Unlike traditional German troops, this is a combat unit with all members of American equipment. In addition to the gray uniform, they were all American goods from helmets to leather boots, pistols and cannons. In fact, in Lynn's trip to The Hague

One week after the successful ending, the US team stationed in France and Belgium and the Netherlands secretly began to hand over weapons and equipment to the German team in accordance with the instructions of its superiors. In ten days, it had provided more than 300,000 semi-automatic and automatic rifles, more than 20,000 Browning light and heavy machine guns, more than 9,000 artillery of various types, and more than 26,000 vehicles of various types. For Germany, whose local industrial scale is less than one-third of the first timely outbreak of World War II, this is a valuable assistance for timely assistance!

Accompanied by senior military generals, Lynn walked past the soldiers with his head held high, and his youthful faces could not see fear. Despite the lack of sufficient military training, these young Germans were not lacking in the courage and loyalty of their fathers. With weapons in hand, they could not wait to go to the battlefield and save their motherland from the Soviets-Berlin had long fallen. The Soviet troops entering Germany from Poland had occupied Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Former Pomorie, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony. The North Wing troops approached Bremen and Hamburg, and the Central Corps captured Brunswick towards Hannover

Viet advances. The southern wing troops have crossed Saxony and entered Bavaria. In order to take down Munich, where the German temporary regime is located as soon as possible, the Soviet Union forced the Czech and Austrian governments to declare war on Germany. The Soviet troops, which had been dominating the border fences and attacking Germany. The Soviet troops entering from Austria have advanced to an area less than 30 kilometers away from the center of Munich. Every day, shells fall on Maria Square, and government departments can only transfer to underground bunkers to continue working. Tens of thousands of German people built and strengthened fortifications day and night, vowing to turn Munich into Leningrad, Germany.

Given that the dark dictatorship during the Third Reich brought heavy lessons, Germany under the democratic regime canceled the oath of loyalty to the new recruits. In order to increase the loyalty of the soldiers and to make the new recruits determined to move forward bravely in the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, Lynn will continue to participate in the army formation ceremony of all the new troops, so the stay time arranged in each place was very short, but when he saw that a young soldier in the front row was somewhat similar to himself in the mirror, he still stopped involuntarily.

"May I have your name?"

The Private, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, replied uneasyly: "Youton...Hans Youton, sir!"

"Can you show me?"

Unprepared, Lynn had to pass the American m1 carbine from Private and checked it with standard inspection actions. Judging from the various parts of the firearm, this is a second-hand gun that has been used for a while. Fortunately, it has good maintenance and is still a reliable helper when he goes to the battlefield.

The Private looked at Lynn's carbine in a daze, and was amazed far more than surprised - this young president was a people's hero in the fight against the Soviet occupation. He led the Baath Party armed forces to fight the Soviet army many times, but this was not a common German weapon after all, and he could be skillfully fiddled with it. If he hadn't prepared in advance, he could only say that he was a very amazing leader.

After the magazine and bolt were reset, Lynn solemnly returned the gun to the Private: "Although I personally prefer the Mauser assault pistol - two pairs of land to use melee advantages, in the combat operations of regular troops, the carbine that can be fired continuously is more powerful. Be familiar with it and take care of it, and you will get rewards on the battlefield."

The private quickly stood attentively and said, "Yes! Sir!"

Lin Neng nodded and looked at several soldiers on both sides. His improvisation just now had left a very good impression on the simple soldiers, and could even refresh their spirits, but the combat effectiveness of an army is mainly based on various comprehensive factors. At present, the weapons provided by the United States are enough to equip twenty early standard US infantry divisions. If 20 infantry divisions are formed step by step, even if a considerable number of veterans are supplemented, these infantry divisions will definitely be embarrassing to fight head-on with the Soviet army. This time, the German Joint Staff did not adopt the provided by the US liaison officer.

Institutional reference materials, they are like smart chefs, making full use of the ingredients at hand to cook unique and delicious food - 4 elite main assault divisions, 12 defense line garrison divisions and 6 fast maneuver brigades. The reason why these fast troops did not continue to have the title of "motorization", "machine stage" or "armor" is on the one hand because they fully adopt American equipment. On the other hand, most vehicles have been converted into weapons and vehicles, carrying rocket launchers, recoil-free cannons, mortars and other weapons, and use the geographical advantages of local operations to carry out flexible and changeable maneuver combat, especially using the gaps between various Soviet troops for bold interweaving.

The completely different equipment characteristics and tactical habits make there a big difference between American and German weapons. It takes time to adapt to and use them skillfully, and it also takes time to make the recruits grow into qualified soldiers. However, the battlefield situation no longer allows the German recruits to receive training in the rear. Due to the large losses in the previous stage, the situation of the German armed forces in the front can be described as "bad". In Lüneburg, southeast of Hamburg, the defensive formation of the German 3rd Army

The land was broken by the Soviet army, and the remnants retreated to Hamburg. Just one day later, the Soviet army captured Nordstedt north of Hamburg and cut off the land connection between Hamburg and Kiel. The German navy had no choice but to give up the number one naval base. Hamburg was then attacked by the Soviet army's superior forces. The development of street fighting was very unfavorable to the German army. Under the urgency, the Joint Staff ordered the Hamburg defenders to retreat by sea. With the defeat of the Hamburg defense war, the last port in northern Germany was in northern Germany.

The situation in Bremen has also become precarious. Once all ports are lost, Germany's efficiency in receiving Western aid will be greatly reduced. In Nuremberg in the south, the German Second Army and the remnants of the 4th Army who retreated from Lukenwald failed to resist the Soviet heavy-army attack. Not only did they lose this city with a very important strategic location, but they also lost a large amount of troops and technical weapons in the battle. The military force defending Munich from the north needs to be supplemented. Otherwise,

During the war, the capital would soon fall into the Soviet siege; only in central Germany, the elite imperial troops engaged in mobile combat with Hannover as the center successfully curbed the Soviet offensive, making it impossible for them to attack Hannover, but this was also the result achieved when the center of the Soviet battlefield was dispersed to the two wings. For the German team, which was at a clear disadvantage in overall strength, more than 300,000 well-equipped recruits were key forces at the strategic level and the greatest hope to reverse the current situation.

Before gathering together to go to the battlefield, most German recruits only conducted basic training for two to four weeks with the help of the US instructors, and their tactical literacy was very weak. Due to the increasing frequent Soviet air strikes, it took a week for some newly formed German troops to transfer from training camps in western Germany to the front line. Compared with those companions who soon went to the battlefield, these troops were undoubtedly lucky. The soldiers marched at night, trained in the woods or under the disguise of hidden nets during the day. With an additional hour of training, their chances of survival on the battlefield increased by one point.

Defense is often an ideal way to train new recruits. After many newly formed German troops arrived at the front, they did become "firefighters" in the commander's hands, blocking leaks everywhere on the riddled defense lines. In Bremen, five defense divisions using American equipment filled the eastern and southern suburbs. In addition, the troops retreated from Hamburg and the 6th Expeditionary Regiment of the Empire, which was hurriedly formed by Nordic garrison troops, nearly 300,000 German troops were involved in the massive Bremen defense battle. Although the number of troops was very considerable, many of the German troops participating in the previous stage of the battle were already trapped in people and horses, and the camp was full of wounds, and they urgently needed rest and supplements. The combat status was not

Ideal, and the greatest significance of the German army's move is to attract the main forces of the Soviet army in the northern wing, two tank troops, one mechanized army, five infantry troops, and 400,000 heavy troops rushed to Bremen. When the massive Battle of Bremen began, the German army had assembled two main assault divisions and three rapid motor brigades north of Hanover, plus the 1st and 2nd Expeditionary Regiments of the Empire, which had been resting in a hurry, encircled the Soviet troops in the Bremen area with 160,000 elite troops. The two rapid motor brigades cooperated with the armored forces of the Imperial Guards and advanced overnight, and advanced to the southern suburbs of Hamburg with surprise troops.

He also attacked the Soviet military stations, supply points and transport vehicles along the way, causing the logistics supply of the main force of the Soviet North Wing Corps to lose stability. After dawn, the German air defense forces that began to ship American surface-to-air missiles to block the Soviet aviation forces with hidden air defense firepower, causing a positive change in the battlefield situation in northern Germany.
