Chapter 97

In the warm spring evening, the sunset is setting, and a bright red glow burns the sky. Standing on the ground and looking up at the sky, the war eagles flying westward are like red fire feathers. They are not death but can bring death, and they are not devils but can turn the world into purgatory...

During these days when flowers bloom and everything is booming, the fire of war rekindled from the ashes accumulated by the corpses. In order to weaken the German resistance, the Soviet army launched continuous air strikes without hesitation, focusing on bombing the ports, railway stations and many cities near the German-France border. Their ground troops also actively deployed troops. Every night, the eastern side of the war dividing line of Lübeck-Hannover-Wurzburg-Stuttgart was always filled with rumbling mechanical roars, some from tanks and tanks, and some were tracked tractors tow heavy artillery. In order to win this victory, the Soviets almost moved out all their assets, even some were fixed on the

The heavy artillery from the coastal fortress was also transported, and the repaired chariots were added to the frontline troops along with the new products manufactured day and night. The Soviet army was very secretive about the day of the attack, but they were fighting on the territory of the Germans after all. The entire German nation was fighting against the strong enemy with unprecedented unity. Whether the Soviet army used soft and high-pressure policies, their every move was watched by countless hatred eyes. By analyzing the Soviet army's troops' mobilization and equipment configuration, the German highest command organization was constantly adjusting its own deployment. Just wait for the Soviet army to take the lead to launch an offensive, and then use the rock-like tenacious defense to consume energy and drag its energy to win this critical battle with a weak enemy.

The Soviet people tightened their belts to support the front line, but the German side could receive a lot of assistance from Western allies for free. In contrast, the Soviets were obviously unwilling to postpone the attack time. On April 10, near major cities, chariots with steel bodies and joint tracks drove out of the woods, and their turrets and bodies were painted with the red five-star that the Soviets were proud of. Since World War II, these logos have become symbols of unbeatable strength. Although they failed to defeat the German team in one go, and even lost some fronts in the enemy's winter counterattack. However, the strong military strength of the Soviet army is still unquestionable.

After the night fell completely, under the guidance of soldiers holding flashlights, kerosene lamps and signal rods, tanks, armored vehicles, various models of cars, and large trucks gathered in the wilderness near the highway.

"The whole battalion... set off! Pay attention to order, cover each other, and keep alert!"

On a T-54 tank with a communication antenna, the neat and energetic armored soldiers commanded the subordinates through the throat microphone. The 31 brand new T-54s moved in the roar of the engine, and the faint, oil-filled green smoke suddenly spread around the armored column. Following closely behind was a transport convoy carrying combat infantry. For the upcoming battle and the German opponents who were rumored to be helped by the Allies, the Soviet soldiers all had grim expressions, but there was little fear in their eyes.

On the dirt road not far away, an armored column with relatively complex composition has also embarked on the journey. Not only are there common vehicles from the Soviet army, but there are also American-made "Sheerman" tanks, m3a1 semi-tracked armored vehicles and even six-wheeled m20 armored vehicles. In the Eastern and Western camp wars where nearly ten million soldiers fought each other, the Soviet army caused a heavy blow to the Allies with several beautiful annihilation wars, and also seized a large amount of spoils. The confident Soviet generals originally disdained to equip these weapons to the front-line troops, so they only incorporated them into reserve forces and security units to deal with the weak resistance of guerrillas and underground resistance organizations in the occupied areas. By the end of 1950, the consumption on the German battlefield finally made the Soviet commanders feel stretched. As a result, the Allied's standard artillery, vehicles and ammunition were reused.

Amid the sound of "forward" one after another, more and more tanks and vehicles entered the highway. However, the congestion did not occur. Under the well-prepared organization of the Soviet command department, these vehicles were moving westward in an orderly manner. Under the night sky, a river with countless small light spots was surging. In order to ensure that this night march was not harassed by German fighter jets, especially those combat helicopters, the Soviet army deployed the radar to the front line and set up fixed and mobile air defense firepower in the marching area in advance. However, this place is "enemy plane! enemy plane! Be careful of concealment!"

The rushing shouts had just sounded. The figures of two German helicopters had appeared in sight. No one knew whether these "treetop ghosts" were sneaking or ambushing the wild forest without paths. Before the anti-aircraft guns opened fire, they hovered freely, adjusted and fired rockets. The column of vehicles that had no time to disperse the hidden vehicles were hit by the rockets, and instantly turned into a nightmare of flesh and blood; a refueling truck and a truck carrying ammunition were affected by the explosion, and the flames soared into the sky, forming the most eye-catching target signal on that night. The sudden guns and cannons tried to make the two despicable and shameless sneak attackers punished as they deserved, but they leaped agilely at the treetops. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

The impact of such a small-scale air strike was obviously much more destructive than the bomb itself. The Soviet army's originally orderly queue was in chaos, and the burning wreckage of vehicles blocked the road. The officers and soldiers were busy rescued the wounded while anxiously waiting for the engineering troops to clear the passage again.

Although the German attack method brought great trouble to the Soviet offensive forces, not all Soviet troops were at a loss for this on the long front. At Lübeck, at the northern end of the front, the Soviet soldiers used their full preparation to curb the German attack. After the heavy rainstorm artillery preparation, they led the attack with nearly 100 I-3 heavy tanks and powerful Su-152 self-propelled artillery as the leader, quickly putting heavy pressure on the German front.

"Sir, the enemy's attack is very fierce, their strength is extraordinary, and Narke's troops are suffering a lot... It can be seen that all the soldiers have the belief of fighting to the death, but with our current strength, it is simply unrealistic to put the enemy here!"

In a field fortification in the eastern suburb of Lubeck, a German lieutenant colonel who had just returned from the front line reported the current situation with a helpless look. In front of them, the two generals had completely different reactions, but there was no trace of panic in their older eyes. The younger lieutenant general was tall and had a pair of large telescopes hanging around his neck. He frowned and looked worried. Looking out along the shooting hole, the dark position had been shrouded by the rising fire, and there was a burst of gunfire sound that was tightened by the sound of gunfire.

No one said to withdraw, no one said not to withdraw. The awkward atmosphere made people feel very depressed. At this moment, the phone in the command center rang, and a senior lieutenant picked up the microphone: "Hey...yes, what? What? Wait... General, Colonel Vogel requested to speak to you..."

The slightly younger general quickly walked to the phone and grabbed the microphone: "Hey... I'm Ernst Hep... Colonel, I understand your situation. The Russians have always been like this. We are not the first recruits to the battlefield. We must firmly hold our positions and fight back the enemy with the will of iron and blood!"

After hanging up the phone, the burly general paced back and forth anxiously like a lion trapped in a cage.

"Although the command given to us by our superiors is to hold on for at least three days, since the enemy has chosen Lübeck as the main attack point, we should adapt to the situation and let the front-line troops retreat to the Trava position." The older general was not the chief officer here, but his words were obviously agreed by other staff officers.

After a moment, the burly general stopped and opened his voice proudly: "It is reasonable to be forced to retreat when the enemy is extremely powerful, but we are now engaged in a war that concerns the survival of Germany. If everyone feels that the world is in our favor and therefore loses the most precious spirit of sacrifice, the development of the war situation will be difficult to say. Once the overall situation is affected by the loss of Lübeck, everyone here, including the soldiers who are gritting their teeth and holding on the front positions, will feel extremely regretful. Instead of doing so, it is better to turn regret into the courage to face death calmly and exchange our lives for the eternity of Germany?"

The loud and loud words suddenly shocked everyone. A few months ago, the German officers and soldiers burst out with amazing energy in desperate situations. Now that the resources of allies are constantly transporting to Germany, this is certainly a favorable positive factor, but few people notice the negative psychological impact it brings.

Half an hour later, the fierce guns and cannons from afar became weaker and weaker like burning candles. On the outermost defensive position of the German army, Soviet infantry holding bayonets were cleaning up the newly occupied positions. Unlike the brutal war in the flintlock era, for the surviving German officers and soldiers, as long as they did not make obvious resistance, they could save their lives, but even so, there were very few German soldiers who chose to surrender.

On the south side of this position, an armored command vehicle equipped with a circular antenna stopped under the escort of several tanks. From above, a Soviet general walked down. His weather-beaten face looked very calm. Under the sparse light, the medal of honor on his chest gave a sense of inviolability.

Soon, a Soviet colonel came running and reported with his head held high, "Chief, the 47th Infantry Brigade lived up to expectations and took the No. 3-09 position! Although our troops suffered a great loss, the morale of the comrades was high, and they could invest in a new attack after a little rest!"

The general with gray hair looked up at the position that was still emitting smoke, and asked, "How many German soldiers were killed and captured?"

The colonel paused: "There are probably more than 400 people killed, and the prisoners... about twenty people."

The general had no big talk. Before leaving, he looked up at the position again: "The battle behind will become more and more difficult."
