The first day of fighting ended abruptly, however, the Nationalist army suffered heavy losses as a result. Adrian was very surprised to receive reports of defeat at the front line in Hanover, and through careful study, it was decided to let the various group armies find the breakthrough point again according to local conditions, and stressed that before launching a general offensive, the group armies must return to the strategic deployment when they sent troops, and the next offensive should pay attention to the combination of tactics and superiority, divide troops to contain them, and try to disperse the enemy's effective response as much as possible, so that it cannot form a joint force. At the same time, in order to avoid heavy casualties, only frontal feints should be allowed, and superior forces must not be concentrated in front of the Albert defenders. Adrian sent the same telegram to the various units stationed in the area. That night, the First Army quickly armed the garrisons that had been incorporated along the road to replenish the battle losses; The Third Army also moved overnight to the southeast side of Potsdam, where it had been stationed.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, a thick fog was thick around Potsdam, and Guntel? The 12th Infantry Division of Klug's 1st Army quietly moved to the southeast of the enemy's forward position to take cover and wait. Weix's 13th Infantry Division was in the center, crawling forward, waiting for the order to attack 200 yards from the forward positions of the enemy defenders, and attacking the forward positions of the Albert defenders with great fanfare at any time. At the same time, the Second Army of the National Army advanced covertly from the northwest to the southeast, waiting only for Maximilian to do so? The frontal assault of Weicks' 13th Infantry Division began, and it immediately struck at the flank of Albert's defenders.

The time pointed to six o'clock, a crisp signal flare sounded, and all the officers and men of the 13th Infantry Division jumped to their feet, the shouts were deafening, and the soldiers rushed towards the enemy position like a tide of submachine guns. The defenders hurriedly returned fire, and in an instant, the gunfire was loud. At this time, the 12th Infantry Division in the southeast and the 2nd Army in the northwest protruded from the two flanks respectively, and the 12th Infantry Division moved extremely quickly and quickly carried out dense fire coverage, so that the defenders in the southeast did not dare to raise their heads, and they could not support it. At this moment, the enemy Arthur? Fred's division with the help of Rex? The cover of Gilbert's artillery was quickly reinforced and blocked the advance of the Second Army Corps of the National Army. Anti-Rhodes? The Elinor Infantry Division had been ambushed southeast of Potsdam the night before, and the 12th Infantry Division of the First Army had also been frantically blocked.

Because of the defending enemy Wilfried? The 13th Infantry Division, which was a frontal feint, did not have a good effect, and the charge was suppressed layer by layer, resulting in a complete failure of the plan to contain and disperse the deployment of the enemy's forces, but instead it became a brutal battle, but this battle fully learned the lessons of the last battle, and this mission was a feint, and the commander did not force the soldiers to charge desperately, so the casualties were much lighter than the last time.

The lower reaches of the Spree River were mostly swampy, and it was very difficult for the large corps to fight, and the Second Army, which was attacking from the northwest, did not have heavy weapons, and it was not suitable for heavy weapons to be deployed, so it was very difficult to break through the defensive line, and the infantry assault was attacked by Rex at the beginning. The blow of Gilbert's artillery was almost incapacitated. Retreat is already unrealistic, because Arthur? Fred's division clung to it, and once it turned around, it would become a live target for the enemy, and the Second Army had to rely on its superiority in small arms to transform from attack to stalemate and confrontation. The battle lasted from early morning until more than ten o'clock in the morning, and both sides left countless corpses behind and slowly returned to their respective lines.

The battle to the southeast was brutal, and the 12th Infantry Division, which was already exhausted, was suddenly attacked by the enemy Rhodes? Elinor's fresh division, thanks to the 12th Infantry Division's excellent weapons, saved the whole army from the danger of annihilation. Unlike the northwest, the enemy? The Eleanor Division occupied favorable terrain and was at ease, so the fighting was correspondingly much harder. The fierce fighting formed a stalemate, the two sides were entangled to the death, and the attrition in the battle was very serious. At this time, the fog gradually lifted, and the 12th Infantry Division was completely exposed to the Rhodes? At the front of the Elinor Division, as long as the enemy was stationed in danger of fighting to the death, the 12th Infantry Division would not be able to make a profit, and there was nothing to be done, and the 12th Infantry Division also withdrew from the battle in advance.

The 13th Infantry Division, which was responsible for the frontal feint, was newly incorporated into the garrison army, and its combat effectiveness was relatively weak, which is why the 13th Division was responsible for this tactical feint at that time, on the one hand, to refine the new army, on the other hand, to contain the enemy's main force, and to cooperate with the real main force of the two-sided flank attack to achieve an important plan to destroy the defending enemy, however, with the gradual deepening of the battle, the nature of the battlefield has undergone a fundamental change, and it was originally just to contain the enemy but turned into a stalemate, and later from a stalemate to a strong attack. When the two flanks of the Nationalist Army were forced to retreat, the 13th Infantry Division felt that it was difficult to support itself, and was worried that the two flanks of the enemy would be defeated by Rhodes? Elinor and Arthur? Fred's division was outflanked and at the same time forced to withdraw from the battle.

Adrian was very angry when he received the message, but he did not show his emotions, but replied one by one, and commented in depth and detail on the reasons for the defeat of these two attacks. In the message, Adrian did not forget to encourage the troops participating in the battle, and also took most of the responsibility on himself.

When the logistics supply troops set off, Adrian specially sent a prepared "next action plan" to the newspaper office, and told the newspaper operators to immediately send it to the commanders of the front-line departments.

Adrian's so-called "next action plan" is to analyze the battle situation, and focus on requiring all units to try to carry out military infiltration, intelligence gathering and pre-war reconnaissance based on the strength and deployment of Albert's recalcitrant army, so that the next offensive can be targeted, and under the premise of possibility, the enemy's internal forces will be divided and disintegrated, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Rundstedt was appointed by Adrian as the chief officer for the implementation of the "next step of the action plan" of the National Army in the region, and each unit had to send military commanders and chiefs of staff to participate in the study and discussion in the shortest possible time.

In accordance with the requirements of the contents of the "next action plan," all units quickly set up shrewd and capable reconnaissance detachments to find the enemy's forward positions at night, accurately survey and map the enemy's firepower points and the ways in which the various units should coordinate with each other, and individual soldiers even infiltrated the enemy's positions to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance. The scouts returned to the station before dawn and summarized what they had found to Rundstedt and the unit commanders, respectively.

While the front line was discussing the organization of a new offensive plan on the basis of the enemy's disposition drawn by the scouts, Adrian again sent a telegram, urging all units not to rush to attack, to spend more time studying, and to be sure to arrange the next combat mission with people first and prudently and prudently.

The telegram also said that Berlin was already an isolated city, that there was no way to retreat from the enemy, and that it was not the Nationalist Army that was in a hurry, but Albert's government army. Also, Max? Field Marshal Hoffman personally led the 501st Tank Battalion of the Nationalist Army to the front in a few days; At the same time, the line of fire was promoted to the deputy commander of the 11th Armored Division, Erwin? Rommel was a major general and commander of the 501st Tank Battalion. The commander of the 11th Panzer Division, Ewald? Major General Kleist should immediately organize technicians to repair and maintain all armored vehicles, so that they can fight and win battles. Meanwhile, in Max? Before General Hoffman arrived at the front line, all units seized the time to rest and recuperate, and during the rest, they should strengthen their vigilance, set up sentry posts five miles in front of each post, and set up double posts or concealed posts to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.

At the same time, the Albert garrison was undergoing major adjustments.

Because the Nationalist Army was besieging the city on all sides, the industry and commerce in Berlin had all been shut down, Albert and his troops had no backup, and there was a serious shortage of supplies, weapons and ammunition, and in the past two days of hard fighting, many combat units were seriously deficient, because of the lack of medical care and medicine, the front-line hospitals set up by the government in various places were useless, and the mortality rate of the wounded and sick remained high.

Albert is anxious, that is because his short-lived political arena is about to die completely, but there is someone more anxious than Albert, that is William? Grener and the commander of the 19th Army of the government army, Major General Kurt? Feng? Schleicher. William? Grener had been a subordinate of Paul von Hindenburg, the Reich's Quartermaster General at the time, and now, even he did not know why he was so optimistic about the incompetent President Albert at the time, and sacrificed his life to serve him. As for the commander of the 19th Army of the government army, Major General Kurt? Feng? Schleicher, the battle situation on the front line is very worrying, as far as the actual situation is concerned, every victory in the battle is a failure, a lone army with no logistics and no backup, fighting for the old foundation, compared with the national army, this is obviously the advantage of one and the other. Running out of ammunition and food is definitely the death of a mighty army, not to mention that his current army has already become a tired army, and how much combat effectiveness he still has, he knows it in his heart. However, how far is this road, how can he go on, his heart is empty, although he can still maintain a rare majesty and courage in front of the two armies, but in private, he is just a shell, without a soul, without a thought, without a future, purely just a walking corpse.
