New year, new outlook, I wish you all good luck in 2013 and all your wishes come true!

When Lynn stepped out of the air-raid shelter in the gardens of Bellevue Palace, the whimpering anti-aircraft sirens had not subsided, and although there was no strong smell of gunpowder smoke or burnt smoke, there was a particularly oppressive atmosphere in the place. Facing east, the city of Berlin was completely shrouded in flames and black smoke, and Soviet bombers could be faintly seen on the horizon. In the past five years, Berliners have rebuilt an atmospheric and beautiful city from the ruins with their hands, and everyone who returns to Berlin is shocked by its tenacious vitality, but these efforts have come to naught in a matter of hours - although the soldiers and civilians who have volunteered to stay in Berlin have long been mentally prepared for the bombing, and despite their efforts to organize fire brigades and store firefighting materials, Germany in 1950 was so poor and scarce that people could not get a hundred fire engines despite their best efforts. In various neighborhoods of Berlin, many people had to deal with fires brought on by enemy bombing with the most primitive tools......

"Prepare the car, I'm going to take a look at the city." Lynn said in a calm voice, his face as if covered with a thick layer of ash.

The post of Secretary-General of the Office of the President is headed by a key member of the Baath Party, von Von Brown. Tremberg, an honest man who worked in the Brandenburg local government during the Third Reich, advised: "The planes of the Soviets may come again at any time, and the city is in a mess, and it is really not safe to go at this time!" ”

Lynn replied firmly: "You have to go, and you have to ask the comrades in the records office to bring their cameras and video cameras." ”

Feng. Treberg understood that it was arranged, and Lynn stood alone by Bellevue Palace. The Soviets were well aware of where the German presidential palace was, but their planes did not bomb it, but took the trouble to fly over their heads. Show off your force with endless roar and devastation of the city of Berlin. Lynn was not at all surprised by this ostentation, his rational mind was not affected by the fire of anger, and in the depths of his heart the desire to fight back was stronger than ever—though it would have to wait a long time. There may even be unexpected hardships, but no matter what, he will continue to walk with determination until all his dreams become reality.

After a while, the subordinates got their cars ready. Since the establishment of the GDR regime, Lynn has taken the lead in showing the courage to stand on the back of his mind. The Bellevue Palace, where he worked and lived, had undergone only minimal renovations, all the famous paintings and antiques had been handed over to the National Museum, and his personal clothes were always plain, with no dazzling accessories, and he always traveled in an ordinary car. In this way, during the bombing of the Soviet troops, two old Mercedes and an old Volkswagen drove east along the River Spree, near Königsplat. The road was blown up by Soviet bombs and a large crater was filled, which was filled with stones and clods of earth by several army soldiers and personnel of the volunteer fire brigade.

"Shall we take a detour?" Feng. Treberg turned his head to ask for instructions, and to his surprise, Lynn opened the car door and walked out, rolled up his sleeves and joined the ranks of repairing the road.

The poor secretary general of the president's office hurriedly got out of the car. Under the bewildered gaze of the entourage, he was quite bright, and quickly motioned to the staff to take out the camera equipment, and asked others to find some people from nearby to help. After more than half an hour of noisy and chaotic tossing, people barely allowed this section of the road to resume traffic, and Lynn was already covered in mud and sweat.

In the car. Feng. Treberg graciously handed over the handkerchief: "Shall we move on?" ”

Lynn didn't want to think: "Go to Paris Square!" ”

The convoy continued to move forward, and within a few hundred meters, a communications soldier on a two-wheeled motorcycle chased after him from behind. Wave outside the car window to signal that there is an emergency. …,

Feng. Trebert stopped the driver, he got out of the car and took a telegram from the communications soldier, looked at it a few times, and hurriedly returned to the car.

"The Soviets announced a halt to the bombing of Berlin, and ground troops would soon enter the city, demanding that Berlin residents abide by the rules of undefended cities. In the event of armed resistance, the Soviet army will not be held responsible for the consequences. ”

Listened to Feng. Trebert's report. Lynn still checked the telegram herself, and then took a pen and wrote her instructions on the reverse side of the telegram for the messenger who sent the telegram to bring it back.

After the communications soldier on a motorcycle left the same way, Feng . Treberg asked: "Are we still going to Paris Platz?" ”

"Go, of course." Lynn replied, "For a long time to come, we will only be able to remember the sanctity of the Brandenburg Gate in photographs." ”

About ten minutes later, another group of Soviet warplanes flew into Berlin, and these bloodthirsty crows, who did not defy official Soviet notices, circled over the city for more than a quarter of an hour, occasionally flying low to observe the Germans who were busy fighting fires and rescuing the emergency and the military vehicles that were hastily evacuating the city.

At Parisplatz, Lynn looked up as the soldiers unloaded the statue of Victory from the Brandenburg Gate. Cast to commemorate Prussia's victory in the Seven Years' War, the original bronze statue was captured by Napoleon as a trophy and recovered after the victory of the anti-French coalition, so it was called the "return carriage" by Berliners, and it was destroyed in the Battle of Berlin in 1945, when Soviet soldiers held up the red flag on the Victory Statue at Brandenburg Gate, German soldiers bombarded it with artillery, and only a horse's head remained. Now newly cast after the founding of the GDR, it had only been placed for just over two months, and although it was only a replica, Lynn decided to transport it away rather than leave it for the Soviet troops who were about to enter Berlin. Seeing the crowd gathered around the Brandenburg Gate, the men taking off their hats to salute the bronze statue, and the women hiding their faces and weeping, Lynn had reason to believe that the carriage would return with victory in the near future.

An hour later, the personnel and vehicles of the presidential team and the cabinet department were withdrawn from Berlin, leaving behind them only the last troops, who would also be evacuated before the Soviets entered the city. Even with the large number of government, army and civilians who spontaneously evacuated on the road west of Berlin, the retreat did not turn into a disaster. The people obey the command of the army, the army protects the people, the roads are crowded but not chaotic, and even when the Soviet fighters come to bomb, the people are orderly scattered and hidden, and the cruelty of war is that no matter what kind of mentality people use, death is still inevitable. Germany's fighter units can only use their limited forces in the most critical areas, and the air defense units equipped with ground-to-air guided rockets are also deployed to the combat area, and ordinary anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns cannot effectively stop the Soviet bombing, and even Lynn frequently abandoned his vehicles to avoid air raids on this retreating road, and it is not surprising that many soldiers and civilians died due to Soviet bombing along the way. Whenever the Soviet army bombed, the bleak scene on the road and the roadside could not help but make people cry, and the figure of the survivors picking up their bags and continuing to move forward also made people's eyes moist. Fortunately, after the bombing of Berlin was stopped, the Soviet Air Force did not focus on the Germans retreating from the capital, and under the order of Moscow's counterattack, the overwhelming Soviet fighters and attack planes rushed to the battlefield around Berlin with anger. In the hours of the morning, the tiny Wandlitz was attacked by more than a dozen Soviet warplanes, the city was reduced to rubble, the streets were potholed, and every exposed car could be bombed and strafed again and again until it was completely impossible to repair and use. In such a situation, no temporary fortifications could provide protection for the soldiers, and it was not safe to use basements or sewers for concealment, and a hasty retreat was even more effective - fortunately, anticipating a frantic counterattack by the Soviets with air superiority, the Germans quickly withdrew the main attacking force after annihilating the Soviets in the city, leaving only a small rearguard to protect their wounded and guard the Soviet prisoners of war. With the exception of a few battle posts, the rest of the personnel were concentrated in the Wandelitz Hospital, where medical equipment was used by medical staff to treat the seriously wounded Germans, and Soviet prisoners of war were herded to the rooftops to form a striking medical cross. …,

Just as the Soviet ground troops crossed the Spree River and entered the city of Berlin from the east, aerial photographs of the battlefield of the Wandelitz Hospital were also sent to the Soviet General Headquarters of the Western Front in Breslau, which fully controlled the Polish 1st and 2nd Fronts and the Baltic Front, which were fighting against Germany, and was commanded by 52-year-old Field Marshal Malinovsky. This highly decorated Soviet general made many achievements in the Great Patriotic War, and quickly defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army with his original "double encirclement" during the war against Japan. Not only that, Malinovsky also won Khrushchev's appreciation and trust, and was transferred from "Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Far East Army" to Deputy Commander of the Soviet Army and Chief of the General Staff of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army, and his status in the Soviet Army was second only to Zhukov. Due to the disparity between victory and defeat in direct dialogue, the possibility of the Allies going to war directly with the Soviet Union again is low, and the Soviet army's dispatch to Germany is also considered to be a military operation that determines the pattern of Europe.

In the enlarged aerial photographs, the Soviet prisoners of war are seen sitting or leaning down in despair, completely oblivious to the arrogance of the elite division, and it is clear that not all of them were captured by their wounds, and some of them appear unharmed - although they are not many in number, they are still very glaring on the whole.

"How's the building doing?" Malinovsky coldly asked questions to the Air Force commanders present.

"Because there were our people trapped, and it was the local hospital, our bombing avoided it." From the eyes of his colleagues and Malinovsky's silence, he suddenly came to his senses and quickly changed his words: "However, our pilots are very indignant at this blatant provocation of the Germans, and we feel that these may not be our soldiers at all, but deliberately arranged by the enemy to slander and smear our image." ”

Malinovsky did not answer, but turned to the present generals of the Baltic Front: "At what point can your troops launch an offensive against Vandlitz?" ”

The general replied loudly: "According to our deployment, the offensive has now begun!" ”
