At three o'clock in the morning, the armored corps belonging to the 6th Guards Tank Corps of the Soviet Army received orders to organize defense on the spot. After an unbearable early morning battle, this elite tank corps had lost more than 120 combat vehicles, and they had 211 tanks and self-propelled guns at full strength. The Soviet tank corps is usually composed of 3 tank brigades and 1 mechanized brigade, in addition to tank self-propelled guns, it is also equipped with 70-80 tracked and wheeled armored vehicles, more than 200 transport trucks, more than 150 artillery pieces of various types, and more than 7,000 combat personnel.

Under the scorching sun, the Soviet mechanized infantry struggled to wield sapper shovels, and the armored corps, evacuated from the damaged tanks, was temporarily reinforced to the artillery company. According to the experience of the previous battlefield, the Soviet commanders divided the remaining tanks into two, one part of which was deployed on the defensive line as a fire support point, and the other part was concentrated for use as a mobile commando. The simple battle line of defense quickly took shape, and in the process of building the fortifications, the Soviet officers and soldiers gradually adjusted their mood, recovering from their previous panic and loss, and when the sand and dust were raised from the front road, the soldiers were ready for a desperate battle, but the German team that had previously used surprise to control the situation of the battle, but another unit that fell into the encirclement, the 69th and 70th mechanized brigades of the 9th Mechanized Corps. In the morning battle, the mechanized unit, which was only 15 kilometers away from Tribuss, was pinned down by the Germans and did not contribute to the fierce fighting of friendly tank units. However, the two mechanized brigades had arrived at the right time, and their infantry and artillery greatly strengthened the defensive line of the 6th Guards Tank Corps - even if the Soviet aviation could only gain a relative advantage in this field, they would be able to hold out here once the main German forces were engaged in a heavy attack, buying valuable time for their own peripheral force movements.

The disparity in strength between the Soviet and German armies in 1950 was not the worst in history, but it was far from what it was during World War II. Except that the Navy is still so weak. The Soviet army had an overwhelming advantage in any aspect, even if the front-line aviation units were obviously "southward" due to the impact of the battle of Lukenwald, and after a short period of humiliation, the Soviet fighters bravely launched a counterattack in shame, and although the German jet fighters with guided rockets could create a record of more than one enemy, they could not shake the dominance of the Soviet aviation. Under the effective deterrence of Soviet fighters, German bombers and helicopters, which had previously ravaged Soviet armored forces, went into hiding, and the ground forces slowed down. Let the besieged Soviet troops gather up the remnants and adjust their deployment, instead of crushing and annihilating them in one go!

In the clear sun, two Yak-9s, painted in gray-brown striped camouflage, circled over the fields west of Greifswald. It's not far from the coastline, and you can see the stunning deep blue from hundreds of meters to the northeast. It's just that in the case of the confusing situation on the battlefield, who will be in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery? If it weren't for the combat mission limitations, these two excellent Soviet fighter pilots would have been eager to be on the battlefield and use their cannons and machine guns to repair the stubborn Germans.

With a monotonous roar, two Yak-9s once again flew over the road from Greifswald to Rostock, where hundreds of vehicles and soldiers marching on foot formed a spectacular torrent of war on a highway built to the standards of the highway, and they were rushing to Tribses as fast as possible to relieve the siege of the 6th Guards Tank Corps and the 9th Guards Mechanized Corps. If possible. Then start a decisive battle with the enemy forces in northern Germany. The Soviet pilots who did not have to experience the toil of the long journey looked around, although the combat range of the German jet fighters was limited, but the cunning Germans used the high-quality roads to deploy a large number of wartime airfields in advance, a simple wooden house on the side of the road may have stored fuel and ammunition for jet aircraft, and the ME-262 that took off from the rear airfield landed on the road close to the battlefield, and with the help of the responders, it only took a short time to refuel and take off again, The use of hit-and-run tactics created a lot of trouble for the Soviet army. …,

Cross the road and continue flying west. Approaching beyond the range of the combat cruise, the Soviet pilots captured a group of imperceptible flying objects, painted in yellow-green blocky camouflage, that almost blended into the background as they approached the trees. The two Yak-9s tacitly turned to the target, and judging from their shape, they were not the ME-262 that caused headaches for Soviet pilots, nor the mysterious saucer-shaped aircraft that made countries curious and coveted, but ordinary twin-engine propeller aircraft. Although the livery differed from the usual Soviet bombers and transport aircraft. However, they have eye-catching white lines and red stars on their tails, and their body shape is also in line with the Rissunov Li-2 transport aircraft that the Soviet Army is heavily equipped with (copying the American C-47 transport aircraft, a total of 4,863 were produced by the 1945 armistice, and about 710 C-47s are on the list of supplies aided by the Allies in World War II, in the case of limited production of Soviet-made transport aircraft). These imitation and American-made transport aircraft played a very important role in the airlift and airborne operations of the Soviet Army).

Just before taking off to carry out the combat mission, the two Soviet pilots were told that their air force would send transport planes to drop ammunition, medicine and other important supplies to the encircled ground troops, and that they would also take off and land in the Tribses area if conditions permitted, so they were not hostile to the "Li-2" in front, and even feared that they might be attacked by German fighters if they flew without an escort. In order to confirm the identity of the other party, and also escort them for a distance, two Yak-9s flew over gracefully. When the two sides were less than a kilometer apart, the two "Li-2s" in the flight formation turned sideways, and when they turned their noses towards them, the Soviet pilots were surprised to see that they each had two extra-large rockets mounted under their bellies -- the light and flames flashed with black smoke, and the rockets with four-bladed tails flew towards them, and a long thin line was attached to them. The Soviet pilots, who had recently fought in the Luftwaffe, were shocked, knowing very well that this was a combat weapon that the other side dared to fight with the Soviet Air Force -- as long as the detonator button was pressed when the rocket was close to the target, a short-trained operator had a good chance of killing the ace pilot who was rolling in the air with all his might.

The two Yak-9s hastily evaded, except for the two "Li-2s" that launched the attack, the rest of the transport planes quickly climbed, and when they flew to an altitude of more than two hundred meters, the paratroopers in Soviet uniforms began to parachute. They used traditional German-made fast round parachutes, which were characterized by fast landing speed and were able to reach the ground before the enemy's anti-aircraft weapons could react, but the disadvantage was that the load was small, and the paratroopers could only carry short guns and grenades, and heavy equipment had to be dropped on the battlefield alone.

After shooting down and damaging one enemy plane with guided rockets, the two alternative "Li-2s" returned to the parachute landing area, and the crew pushed out the sac-shaped container through the hatch, and the parachute they hung was nearly twice as large as the paratrooper's RZ round parachute, and slowly lowered it in the air. By the time they hit the ground, the paratroopers who had previously parachuted had roughly assembled, and they quickly found the sac-shaped containers from which they removed their combat guns and light mortars. These weapons are complete and suitable for a 100-person paratrooper commando to exert their combat power, but the amount of ammunition in the airborne container is not large, and each paratrooper is only allocated the standard base amount of ammunition, which makes it relatively easy for them to leave the airborne field and rush to the predetermined combat position.

From the landing of the German paratroopers disguised as Soviet troops to the counterattack of Soviet fighters, there was only a short gap of 20 minutes, and in this fleeting moment, two FI-282 helicopters quietly flew to the predetermined position of the paratrooper unit. To ensure speed, they carry only 600 kg each, which is enough to bring paratroopers several sets of X-7D wired guided anti-tank rocket launchers and ammunition. As one of the leading military inventions of the Third Reich, the X-7, nicknamed "Little Red Riding Hood", was the only ancestor of the first generation of guided anti-tank missiles, ushering in a new era in the field of anti-tank technology. Its entire set of equipment is composed of guided rockets and control devices; the streamlined missile body is short and thick; the nose cone is a hollow charge warhead, which is filled with 2.5 kg of explosives, equipped with a trigger fuse, and the maximum armor-piercing thickness can reach 200 mm; the bomb is equipped with a gyroscope and a dual-thrust engine, and the acceleration engine provides initial power, so that the missile body can gain a relatively fast speed in a short time; and the endurance engine provides continuous and stable thrust for the missile body, so that it can fly to a target thousands of kilometers away. The take-off stage is equipped with an electric fire cap ignition cartridge, and the endurance stage uses a single charge column with a cladding, which is ignited by gas in the take-off stage. There are wings on each side of the missile body, and there are flaps on the trailing edge of the wings, so that the speed of two revolutions per second can be generated in the flight of the missile body to maintain flight stability. The wing tips are equipped with a wire tube with a fairing on the outside of the wire tube and a magnet wire wound around the wire tube to transmit instructions. When the missile body is flying, the shooter uses visual tracking of the missile and the enemy tank, and issues control commands by controlling the two joysticks of the control box, controlling the course of the missile body, so that the tail tracer of the engine is above the aiming line. Because the missile body rotates slowly when flying, when the missile wing is in a horizontal state, the shooter controls the high and low handles and gives high and low correction instructions; When the wing is vertical, the shooter manipulates the azimuth handle, giving direction correction instructions until the missile hits the target. Because the missile body rotates when flying, two 0.18 mm command wires are twisted into one strand and placed on the ground, its effective combat range reaches 1500 meters, far exceeding the conventional individual anti-tank weapons, and the total combat weight is only 24 kg, suitable for infantry carrying and combat use.
