USSR 1991

"It's not that our army is incompetent, but that the opponent is too ruthless. I have been loyal to the German Federation for so long, is this the end?" Henry was startled. He didn't expect that even at this level, Cole was still unwilling to withdraw his troops.

Minister Sharping said hesitantly, "The higher-ups have their own considerations, you don't have to worry about this issue..."

Henry realized that this was to let himself fight to the death for his country.With a chill in his heart, he clenched the microphone tightly, intending to argue, "This is to make me fill in all the troops who defended Berlin! You can't do this to me! I have made meritorious service for the country, and I have sacrificed for the country. Bleeding, I demand a phone call with the prime minister! You can't do that!"

All that was left for General Henry was the busy signal of the phone, and Minister Sharpin hung up the phone.Fear flooded into his heart like a tide, and this time Henry could no longer restrain himself from trembling.The explosion outside was getting closer, and Henry also realized that the German Democratic Republic was approaching him.

Do you really want to learn from Paulus?

Desperate Henry did not expect that his great future would be ruined by this battle, and even more so by a group of high-level command staff who did not pretend to understand. Anger and unwillingness lingered in his mind.He waved everyone out, and he wanted to be alone.The only thing he can do now is to obediently catch him without a fight.As the commander of the Battle of Berlin, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the order not to take a step back, even if the failure is a foregone conclusion.

Henry sat on the chair and muttered to himself, "If you want to fight, then go ahead and spend one more minute if you can. As long as it can be delayed until reinforcements arrive."

At the same time, the Kremlin also received news that the Sero Heights encircled and wiped out the ground troops of the Bundeswehr, but Yanayev is no longer concerned about whether the German Democratic Republic can take the entire Berlin.He is more concerned about whether the German Democratic Republic can finally hold the entire Berlin.

In his view, Berlin has become his pocket.Taking Berlin is already expected, but now the more troublesome thing is to hold Berlin.Although all the defenders were defeated, the troops urgently transferred to Berlin were almost arriving in the city, and the remaining troops of the German Democratic Republic could hardly support the follow-up situation.

Yanayev needed Soviet peacekeepers to intervene in Berlin.

"Since Berlin is to be defended, 1 minute less is 1 minute."

Yanayev found Yazov and expressed his opinion to the other party, "The troops stationed in Berlin by the German Democratic Republic are not enough to deal with the armored divisions of the Bundeswehr and the armored cavalry regiment of the United States. After capturing Berlin, the seventh The armored division is also out of ammunition and food. Not to mention how to defend Berlin in the future."

"And Kohl, who is furious, will use any means to attack Berlin. Berlin is of great significance to the Federal Republic of Germany. Kohl will never let Berlin fall into the hands of East Germany willingly."

"It's time for us to play, Comrade Yazov. The Soviet Union should be more deeply involved in this war."

Yanayev's answer stunned Yazov for a moment, and he said a little puzzled, "But our peacekeeping force has already stationed in Berlin, so there is no need to send another army?"

Yanayev smiled and shook his head. To be honest, he didn't expect the naval infantry brigade to be able to do so much. "Just relying on the 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, to be honest, this force is not enough for the opponent's teeth. I More soldiers are needed, and the 76th Airborne Division is urgently transferred to Berlin. We need to forcibly set up a buffer zone between the German Democratic Republic Army, the Bundeswehr and the US military, so that we can more easily urge all parties to negotiate a ceasefire."

Of course, this agreement is actually to defend the results of the campaign of the German Democratic Republic and avoid being counterattacked by the Bundeswehr to take Berlin.What's more, Yanayev can't guarantee what Cole will do in a rage.

Use an iron curtain to separate the war between the two sides. Unless Germany is ready to declare war on the Soviet peacekeepers, he will never have a chance to cross this line of defense.

As for whether the Federal Republic of Germany has the courage to declare war on the Soviet Union, Yanayev does not know.But the only thing he knows is that the Soviet Union can still wipe out all the German troops under the Reichstag just like the anti-fascist war in 1945.The Soviet armor torrent never cared who its enemy was, it only needed to consider how long it would take to wipe out all of its opponents.

This is the foundation of the Red Empire, and no one can shake his position.

Those guys who tried to provoke were either destroyed or reduced to a second-rate country.Hitler prepared more than 100 million troops to attack the Soviet Union and tried to take Moscow, but in the end he shot himself before the Soviet Union captured Berlin.

"But what if they give the order to attack? Cole may have lost his mind and will do anything unexpected."

Yazov thought that sending one airborne division was not enough, but Yanayev told him that one airborne division was just the right amount.

"Don't forget that there are still Americans in Russia. Even if Germany declares war on the Soviet Union, the United States will definitely not agree. This involves the conflict of interests among the five permanent members of the United Nations. The Soviet Union will never Backsliding, the United States does not want to involve itself and the Soviet Union in this German civil war, and it will only benefit others in the end. So when Cole is ready to declare war regardless of everything, the United States will naturally tighten Germany's neck."

"And if we send two airborne divisions, it will take the color of an aggressor. From the beginning to now, the United States has only one armored cavalry regiment from beginning to end. We deployed a large number of troops in East Germany under the banner of peacekeeping, isn't it? To wait for the moment when Berlin will be conquered?"

"Yes." Yazov had no way to refute.

"With the rapid dispatch of the 76th Airborne Division to Berlin, the German Democratic Baath Party should almost have no cards in hand. Now is the time for a wonderful gift of help."

Yanayev is very optimistic about East Germany. He hopes that the emergence of East Germany will make it impossible for the NATO forces headed by the United States to maintain a high degree of consistency on future European strategic issues.

"Believe me, East Germany is already in our pocket. The next thing we have to do is to make the whole of Germany tremble."

Chapter 758 Eagle of the Iron Cross of the Capitol

The No.40 Airborne Regiment has occupied most of the public facilities, and East German soldiers wearing rain-spot camouflage can be seen everywhere in martial law on the streets. At this time, the Seventh Armored Division has already entered Berlin, although it was hit by the American artillery battalion before. However, knowing that the situation was over, they did not stop the attack for a long time, and then withdrew from the city of Berlin.

Only a part of the Bundeswehr is still fighting. They have not received an order to retreat, and the supervisor team behind them is still staring at these frontline soldiers. No one dares to take a step back.In order to concentrate their forces, they further shrank the line of defense.They even retreated to the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Office and the Parliament Building for deployment.Everything seems to have returned to the Battle of Berlin in 1945.

Although the Bundeswehr air force lost more than half, it still maintained its combat capability.Cole ordered the Air Force to bomb the front line of Berlin at all costs to prevent the attack of the 4th Armored Division, and even let F[-] fighter jets cooperate with Tornado bombers to carry out dangerous bombing operations over Berlin without absolute air supremacy.

The Soviet MiG-29 naturally would not let go of this hunting opportunity. Pilots flying to Berlin were often attacked by more powerful firepower than imagined.First, it was targeted by the elusive MiG fighter jets, and then it was attacked by ground anti-aircraft missiles. The German Democratic Republic set up double insurance for Berlin.

After several attempts, instead of gaining the upper hand, the Bundeswehr Air Force suffered a heavy blow.However, the attack pace of the armored forces was still slightly delayed, buying time for consolidating the defense line.

Henry used the remaining troops on hand to build the Capitol into an impenetrable barrier, and even deployed no less than four German 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 3 Leopard II tanks, and A soldier in a reinforced company, this is already Henry's last property.They hid behind barbed wire and sandbag fortifications, quietly waiting for the arrival of the DRA.

The vicinity of the Capitol is very quiet, and even if you can occasionally hear the roar of artillery, it is only a few blocks away.This is the last stand of the Bundeswehr.Once the German Democratic Republic took this place, it meant their failure to defend Berlin.As for whether they will be defeated soldiers or prisoners of war, there is no time to think about it.

The silent double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft gun suddenly made a deafening sound of firing, and the barrel was aimed at the southeast sky.Everyone looked up nervously at the sky, and a formation of Su-25 attack aircraft quickly rushed towards the Capitol.Under the cover of MiG-29 fighter jets, they have already broken through the line of defense and launched an attack on the last position of the German army.

At the same time, a group of armed helicopters appeared in the northwest, densely packed like a swarm of buzzing bees, and quickly approached the "nest" of the Capitol. Everyone knew that this was the prelude to the attack. The defenders will be met with a torrent of steel like a tide, rushing from the streets in all directions.At that time, they will use the anti-tank weapons in their hands to fight a final battle.

The deployed double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns still played their role. A Su-25 attack aircraft with black smoke flew over the head of the Capitol, and quickly fell into the neighborhood behind it. , like triggering a miniature earthquake.Another Su-25 attack aircraft was favored by a 35mm anti-aircraft gun and then exploded and disintegrated in the air. The flashing flames caused the German soldiers to cover their eyes with their hands.

But this is also the last performance of these Cheetah self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Four of them are not enough to deal with the locust-like armed helicopters and the equally terrifying Su-25 attack aircraft. After they shot down two or three fighter jets, the monsters that surged up from behind Instantly educate them about absolute superiority with 30mm machine guns and KH29 air-to-surface missiles.

Five Su-25s passed over the Capitol, and the self-propelled artillery deployed on the square had become burning ruins.Their performance is no different from that of a meteor that flashes past, and even more short-lived.Those German soldiers who tried to use the stinger to educate the Su-25 attack aircraft didn't even have the chance to pull the trigger, because the air strikes had directly turned the square in front of the Capitol into a honeycomb, and even tore the bodies of the Wehrmacht on the ground.

The air strike is just a foreplay, and there are even more terrifying ground forces waiting for them.

When the figure of the T80BV tank appeared from the corner of the block in front of the Capitol, everyone tensed up.No one can laugh at the guy who harvests armored vehicles and tanks on the battlefield like wheat.He was like the sharpest scythe of the Red Empire, wiping out all opponents with a light swing.

The performance of the T80BV on the battlefield is obvious to all. No matter how much the West brags about the shoddy production of Soviet tanks, it cannot conceal the record of the T80BV on the battlefield.It is almost a model of harvesting heads. No tank in the Bundeswehr dares to challenge the T80 alone. The amazing lethality of its 125mm smoothbore gun can always kill the Leopard 2.

In the face of such a terrible enemy, Leopard 2 also sacrificed its own mobility and became a fixed tank bunker.However, it also became a regular target for Soviet tank units.Tanks pouring out of the surrounding neighborhoods have already surrounded the Reichstag. Today, they will completely smash this symbol of dictatorship and the survival of the oppressed East German people.

The German Democratic Republic wants to tell Germany who is the real master of Berlin.

The attacking tanks hardly expended much effort, and the soldiers of the Bundeswehr watched the last Leopard 2 tanks disappear in front of them, without even shouting the slogan of living and dying with the Capitol, which is really a bit embarrassing.

The Wehrmacht stationed at the gate could only retreat while fighting, and retreated from the gate to the Capitol, intending to use the complex terrain inside the Capitol to deal with the attacking German Democratic Republic.

But they got one thing wrong.The German Democratic Republic did not intend to clean every corridor and every room as it did during the defense of the Empire State Building, but adopted the most brutal method by not following common sense.

"The German Democratic Republic has surrounded the Reichstag. Our tanks will smash any enemy who dares to resist our will. Don't think about the support of the Bundeswehr. Berlin has fallen. From now on you are defeated! You are already Put down your guns, give up hope, and give up resistance! We will use iron and blood to let the stubborn guy know what the Prussian army is!"

The gun barrels of twenty T80 tanks aimed at the Capitol at the same time. They will not be merciless this time. The incendiary bombs fired a volley towards the fragile glass of the Capitol. At the same time, parallel machine guns also began to shoot at the Capitol. The gate and the stone pillars on the outer wall fired, trying to force the soldiers inside out.

After the first round of salvo, more tanks gathered at the entrance of the Capitol. In addition to the T80, there were also a large number of T72 tanks, ready to give the Capitol a small surprise.

The second round of salvo was more magnificent than the first round. Tanks from nearly two vanguard armored battalions surrounded the Berlin Building, and the deafening roar hit the Reichstag, almost demolishing this German landmark.

After the second round of blows, some German soldiers finally came out of the gate, and they all held white flags without exception, expressing their willingness to surrender.

After all, this group of people was not the guard of honor who swore allegiance to Hitler. The fear of death had to force them to make a choice.Especially when the soldiers in the corridor saw the painful scene of their comrades being burned by the incendiary bombs, they didn't want to continue the war.

They still have family members, and after the war, they hope to be able to go home to reunite with them, instead of standing in front of their own cold tombstones to offer a bouquet of flowers.

After the idea of ​​​​resistance sprouted, the internal strife was unstoppable. They killed the leader of the supervising team and led the remaining survivors to surrender.Surrender became their only way out.

Prisoners of war with their hands held high poured out of the Capitol in an endless stream.

The ground troops leading the battle with the [-]th Armored Division decided to carry out storming operations where the prisoners of war had been evacuated. Anyway, the entire Berlin now belongs to East Germany.They just need to get one last thing done.
