- [Shining] Hot Recruitment-

In Stuttgart in the evening, the sun is dark, the smoke is lingering, and the eyes are full of chaos. The collapsed buildings, the damaged vehicles, and the remains of the fallen in different postures all form a tragic scene, and the sunset sun shining on the broken walls sets off the bleak and desolate tones. As if affected by this sad scene, the constant sound of gunfire gradually subsided, but the battle did not subside. In some corners of the city, the insurgents relied on buildings and underground facilities to resist stubbornly, and the attackers brought in artillery, machine guns, snipers, demolition teams, and flamethrowers without hurry, patiently and meticulously cleaning up these stubborn resisters one by one, like dealing with a chicken that has cut its throat and bled out, and although it is troublesome to pluck its feathers, it is only a matter of time before it tastes delicious.

On the battlefield, the combination of hard and soft is often more effective than a one-way advance, and Soviet political workers set up loudspeakers throughout the city to persuade the remnants of the insurgents to give up resistance in Russian German, and the echo sound makes the city suddenly empty and empty. In fact, the Golden Five-Star Red Banner (Soviet military flag) was already standing in most parts of the city, with only the opera house, the last few blocks of the King's Building, and part of the city's subway tunnels still in the hands of the insurgents.

In a basement near the second entrance of the Stuttgart Opera metro station, Lynn looks through a small exhaust window at the crimson sunset. Before this brutal and tragic battle began, he was confident in his goal for a day and night, and after these eleven hours of fighting, his mind had changed a lot. Battles fought at the end of World War II, in the cold of Northern Europe, or in the Upper Rhine Valley, were fought by well-trained combatants, where civilian-born insurgents were the majority, and their patriotic fervor could not be used as weapons against Soviet attacks. Nor can they protect themselves in the flames of war, many times. Needless sacrifices do nothing to help the outcome of the war. On the contrary, to a certain extent, it affected the judgment of the emperor and the fighters of the regiment. 20,000 civilians who hurriedly took up arms are probably not as good as 2,000 fully trained recruits on the battlefield!

At this point, disappointment does not help to change the predicament and eliminate the option of surrender. The path left for Lynn is to hold on and break through. For the sake of those sacrificial companions, for the many efforts they have made. For the sake of great hope when the next dawn comes, he resolutely decides to lead the remnants of the army to continue the battle, even if the elite of the regiment he has brought along the way will be exhausted in Stuttgart.

After deciding to stay. A competent commander should calmly take a look at the situation and consider the next steps. Many of the insurgents are still scattered throughout the city. Although Lynn did not know the exact number of the remnants, he speculated from the battle movements outside that the insurrectionary force was less than 4,000 men, and that no more than 1,000 could adapt to high-intensity combat. In the face of tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers with front-line combat experience. These remnants must not only have the courage to die and survive, but also have the wisdom and skills to be strong against the weak!

As night falls. The world outside the window did not become a mass of chaos, and large swaths of the city were lit up by firelight. It is conceivable that Soviet Spitfire tanks and infantry carrying flamethrowers are clearing the houses and underground spaces where the insurgents are hiding, and the blinding flames will test the will of the insurgents like never before. In the face of the fire tactics of the modern battlefield, conventional defensive means were no longer helpful, so Lynn ordered all the soldiers who were holding on to the subway entrance to retreat underground, blow up the conspicuous entrances with **, leaving only some hidden passages, and set up a number of defensive and ambush positions along the subway tunnels and underground stations - the insurgents' greatest advantage at this time was that they had detailed structural drawings of the Stuttgart subway and drainage system, and the Soviets were far less likely to obtain these materials in a hurry. …,

The rumbling explosions echoed in the subway tunnels, and the underground space was filled with gunpowder and dust, and without words, the insurgents knew that they were fighting on their backs, and that it was not enough to hold on for one more round in the face of the powerful Soviet army. "Offense is the best defense." This is Lynn's consistent credo, and for the defense of the city, in addition to the information obtained from TV documentaries, war history materials and various analysis and inference, the battle of Berlin that he participated in is undoubtedly his main reference rebate. After some deduction, Lynn made deployment adjustments based on the situation: the weaker insurgents and the wounded with limited mobility were stationed in the subway tunnels, and the soldiers in better physical condition were drawn out to form a night battle group, so that they could pass through the Soviet line along the urban subway system and sewers, attack the Soviet army's personnel, materials, command and medical facilities on the edge of the city, and contain the attack of the main Soviet army in the central city.

Ready, grouped, ready to go. Through these simple instructions, Lynn conveyed her determination to fight to her resilient minions. In the subway tunnels without electricity, the ordinary soldiers of the self-propelled regiment and the night soldiers prepare for battle, they are equipped with automatic weapons suitable for close combat, and they can collect all the ammunition they can collect......

Carrying the night vision device battery, Lynn felt that it was a little heavier than he remembered, the assault rifle equipped with infrared sights felt cold and rusty to the touch, and for several years, the courage had not waned, but the realm of the integration of man and gun had gradually faded, but none of this mattered. The important thing is that he has found his faith on the path of Jedi Nirvana, and the power of the former Empire, which has fallen into the abyss, is firmly following the path of revival he outlined - just a few steps away from the world under the sun!

Before attacking, Lynn gathered the commanders of the battle groups. These people, without exception, were members of the Imperial Guard, and there was no doubt about the strength of their will and faith.

"Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps tonight is the last battle of our lives, whether we win or lose, I hope that you can show the courage of the emperor, so that the invaders who occupy our motherland and oppress our people can see our indomitable spirit, see our fighting spirit, and make them feel feared from the bottom of their hearts; Whatever the outcome, we are proud of the Empire, and the Empire will be proud of us! ”

With that, Lynn raised his right fist, which was wearing black leather gloves and clenched tightly, and roared in a deep voice, "Long live the Empire!" ”

19 battle groups, 19 commanders, different ages, different body shapes, and the perseverance in their eyes is so similar. "Long live the Empire." This majestic cry gathers together, and those who hear it can't help but feel their blood boiling!

According to the Soviet offensive input during the day, Lynn sent a targeted combat group - troops to the south of the city to try to find and attack the Soviet headquarters; The battle group heading to the north of the city sought to join up with the outer resisters and use their strength to expand the intensity of the raid; The battle groups heading to the east and west of the city adopted a maneuverable tactic of one hit and run, so that the Soviet troops could not take care of the end of the battle.

After these 19 combat groups, the 20th combat group was personally commanded by Lynn, with 1 adjutant, 2 night soldiers, and 23 self-defeating soldiers, equipped with 2 sets of night combat equipment, 12 assault rifles, 13 submachine guns, 2 anti-tank rocket launchers, and 14 hand guns. Such a lean and strong battle team was presented in front of him, and the tired but determined faces made Lynn both relieved and disappointed, and he vaguely saw those faces that had never faded, Alfred. Frings, Love. Brück, Gantt. Jonas, Anton. Graff...... Under the remnant sun of the empire, these simple and brave German soldiers fell on the battlefield one by one, time passed, and the battlefield in front of them was still so cruel and ruthless, and many of the soldiers who went out to fight were destined to never return to this starting point. …,

Putting aside the contradictions and hesitations in his heart, Lynn led the battle team into the dark subway tunnel. Since the Soviets had already managed to capture some metro stations in previous battles, they had to walk less than two kilometers south before they had to take the connecting passage into the sewers. In Lynn's view, there is no essential difference between the sewers of Stuttgart and Berlin, which are equally wet, dirty, complex, and massive, like the legendary underground labyrinth. Fortunately, when Lynn launched the uprising, he ordered people to find all the urban planning materials. Armed with drawings and a compass, they only had to expend some extra effort in navigating the artillery-damaged section, and after more than three hours, the battle group returned to the neighborhood that was still under the control of the insurgents at noon that day, that is, the rear of the Soviet combat units. In the newly occupied city, Soviet officers and soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they deployed tanks, armored vehicles and machine guns at every street and important point, such an environment naturally reminded Lynn of the breakthrough operation at Fort Oraniin in 1945, when night assault tactics relying on infrared night vision devices barely neutralized the overall superiority of Soviet tanks. Four years have passed, and although the current Soviet army has not been mass-produced and equipped with the same type of night vision equipment, Lynn knows that in order to counter the night combat forces of the Western Allies, they have adopted a practical and affordable countermeasure - to create infrared detectors. This simple equipment cannot accurately locate the infrared light source, but as long as it is determined that there is an active infrared emitter in the vicinity, the Soviet troops will quickly mobilize firepower to suppress and destroy, making the suddenness of the opponent's night attack operation come to naught. In addition, captured American-made night vision devices have also become a common equipment in Soviet troops, which means that Lynn and his soldiers are likely to encounter the opposing night hunters in the proud night assault operations, like a sniper battle in the Black Forest, where victory or defeat is decided in an instant
