In the early morning of September 15, 1950, in the eastern border village of Odral, the tanks painted with the Red Five Stars and the Guards Red Flag Kiev-Berlin Tank 6th Army tactical logo rumbled past the devastated defenders' positions, which is an important barrier in eastern Germany - a tactical support point of the "Weix Long Wall". In order to seize this breakthrough on the west bank of the Oder River, the Soviet army concentrated more than 400 artillery pieces for fire preparation, the ferocious shelling lasted for an hour and ten minutes, and the thick smoke that covered this area could be clearly seen more than 20 kilometers away, and the Soviet tanks that had long been ready to cross the river immediately launched an attack, and the elite combat infantry fought together in amphibious armored vehicles and speedboats. They abandoned their positions early and retreated, thus ceding the eastern gate of the motherland to a menacing enemy.

Within 24 hours of the German Communist Party announcing the uprising, the Soviet troops, who had come under the banner of justice, had made a series of holes in the "Werks Wall" that the Germans had painstakingly managed, and 11 Guards Tank Corps, Mechanized Corps, and a large number of front-line combat units had crossed the Oder River and entered the German territory like a tide. As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked, the Soviet Red Army, which was invincible with the cooperation of the Western powers, was an invincible lion on the European continent, and it was like an egg to block their attack with the limited strength of the GDR, and the German industry that was struggling to revive was likely to be plundered by the Soviets and returned to zero......

Shortly after the breakthrough of the "Weix Wall", the 8th Army of the Soviet Guards Red Banner Tank marched in a majestic posture to the city of Ketbus, 20 kilometers from the German-Polish border. According to their assumptions, even if the German rebel forces failed to control this large city in eastern Germany, they should at least firmly contain the German government forces and meet the Soviet troops, but the Soviet tanks were greeted with a hard fist - a Soviet advance reconnaissance force that first arrived on the banks of the Spree River was ambushed by the Germans, and the precise and ferocious attack destroyed more than 20 Soviet military vehicles, including the T-34, in the blink of an eye. Followed by. The Soviet armored column marching east of Ketbus was suddenly attacked by long-range artillery fire, and the psychological damage caused by the rockets to the unsuspecting Soviet troops was far greater than the material damage, and the 8th Guards Tank Army had to stop and wait for the flank troops and adjust its deployment to prepare for a strong attack on Ketbus. Later in the day. Some of the German communists who had previously participated in the Cottbus uprising arrived at the Soviet front, and they provided the Soviet commander with the information that "the German troops defending Ketbus were at least 40,000 men," but in fact more than half of the German troops had retreated at night, leaving only a part of the containment force and heavy artillery units that were not suitable for mobile combat.

As the Soviet forces that crossed the border continued to advance westward, they encountered more and more obstructions and harassments. Although the Luftwaffe made no attempt to fight for air supremacy, the Germans continued to fight in broad daylight, using towns, villages, woods, rivers, swamps, and whatever geography they could use. The Soviet Air Force, which flew 4,000 sorties in a single day, found that they not only gained little, but were also shot down by the Germans' mobile anti-aircraft artillery units, losing 48 fighters and nearly 100 pilots. What made the Soviet generals even more angry was that the German government troops did not dare to have a face-to-face decisive battle with the Soviet army, but they were ruthless to their own insurgents. In those areas far from the German-Polish border, the German Communist Party-led insurgents were often surrounded and suppressed by German government troops several times or even ten times their own, and they originally thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity of the German army being pinned down by the Soviet army to carry out an earth-shaking revolution, but they did not expect that their situation would be so difficult. The telegram for urgent help was a headache for the Soviet commander, and given that the Germans firmly controlled the rear area, the Soviet paratroopers who were preparing to parachute into the uprising area could only wait and ..........

In Berlin, the capital of Germany. Lynn attended one after another emergency meetings convened by the Cabinet and the National Assembly, and clearly expressed to all political parties their determination to resolutely resist the aggression of the Soviet army, and demanded that all parties abandon their political prejudices and clench their fingers into fists, defend Germany's sovereignty and dignity with their blood and lives, and restore the pride and indomitability of this nation in a real sense. Encouraged by impassioned emotion, the National Assembly voted to pass the War Bill, which placed the military and political power of the country in the hands of a wartime committee headed by the head of state until the state of war was lifted, and this wartime committee effectively freed itself from the constraints of the cabinet and the Diet and became a highly independent decision-making body, which was crucial for the strategic flexibility of a belligerent country.

Acquire powers similar to those of the Führer, albeit temporarily. Lynn has more confidence to turn the tables on this "must-lose battle". On his chessboard, 300,000 Imperial troops, 400,000 German Army, plus the first-class reserve troops recruited in advance, the total number of troops used by Germany to resist the Soviet offensive reached one million, which was still obviously weak compared to the huge active force of the Soviet Union. In terms of armament, Germany was able to mobilize more than 800 fighters in total, of which 140 were jet fighters with good performance. More than 200 were barely usable piston fighters, and the rest were non-interceptors, including 37 Fi-282 helicopters loaded with guided anti-tank rockets; There are more than 300 combat vehicles, about half of which are Panther tanks equipped with infrared night vision devices, which will play an important role with elite Imperial infantry, while the rest of the vehicles are No. 3 and No. 4 tanks obtained or repaired through various channels, as well as a variety of assault guns and self-propelled anti-tank guns; There are 126 ships, and the real threat is 71 combat submarines. Although the main battle weapons were completely inferior in quantity and had no obvious advantage in quality, as in the later stage of World War II, German officers and men were equipped with a large number of rocket weapons, especially guided anti-tank rockets and cutting-edge ground-to-air rockets, which greatly enriched the German army's ability to resist the Soviet army.

In order to defeat the Soviet army, which was much more mechanized than during World War II, Lynn had to rely not only on the excellent individual quality and tenacity of the Germanic soldiers, but also on the right time, place and conditions. In fact, due to the constant threat of the Soviet army, Lynn and the army generals had already begun to prepare a variety of countermeasures, including concentrating the country's main industrial forces in the west and southwest, and freeing up the east and central regions for mobile tactics; The reserve system has been adjusted so that only healthy males between the ages of 18 and 48 are included in the reservists, and the manpower and material resources have been concentrated on the rigorous and adequate training of these reservists. So that they can adapt to the rhythm of combat as soon as possible after receiving the signs. Coupled with the fact that the main German forces tried to avoid the Soviet advance in the early stages of the war, even if the Soviets occupied the eastern and central regions including Berlin in a short period of time, the Germans would continue to fight until the tide of the war was turned around.

When 100,000 Germans were struggling to dig fortifications on the outskirts of Berlin. About 65 kilometers east of Berlin in the town of Selo, Hans. Hoyner peered through the window of the firewood room as he peered at the Soviet troops on the march. As early as dawn, the house where he lived was requisitioned by a group of Soviet soldiers, apparently as a temporary resting place, and apparently the gray-haired Hoyner was old and wooden, and the Soviets drove him to the firewood room behind the house, but did not detain him or drive him away. In the last few hours. Hoyner had been observing the Soviet troops passing nearby, judging their size, disposition, and other circumstances based on his own experience, and then relaying the information through communications equipment hidden in the firewood room. To the surprise of the Soviets, there were thousands of such observation posts and observers on Germany's eastern frontier, and most of the participants were elderly people, who had basically served in the German army, loved their homeland and were willing to work for it. Although his physical condition is no longer able to adapt to the needs of combat, he is able to play his role on this special front. …,

It was learned that the Soviet army had invested thousands of tanks and more than 300,000 troops in Berlin, and that Soviet mechanized troops were also outflanking on the north and south flanks. Lynn did not panic in the slightest, and he judged from the beginning that Berlin was the main target of the Soviet attack. Contrary to the Führer's strategy, Lynn never intended to hold Berlin to the death, believing that static defense would not only not provide life for the weaker side, but would lead to a waste of troops. The mobilization of soldiers and civilians to dig trenches outside Berlin and build barricades inside the city was only to mislead the Soviet army and make the Soviet generals spend more time preparing for the attack.

Under the scorching sun, as the air raid sirens sounded, hordes of Soviet warplanes flew towards Berlin in a flood of air, and the Soviet pilots' scopes showed the German capital's post-war rebuilt district, with its brand new buildings, clean streets, and more than two million innocent civilians. Because of the suddenness of the war, most of the foreign nationals and diplomats did not have time to withdraw from Berlin. Based on these factors, Lynn looked up from outside the makeshift bunker at Bellevue Palace to watch the mighty Soviet fleet. Although the Western world has not yet lifted the economic blockade of the Soviet Union, the industrial economy of the Soviet Union is also recovering rapidly, thanks to its vast natural resources and hard-working people. Most of the bombers seen in the Lynn telescope were new planes with full and smooth lines, and the proportion of large bombers with four engines was not low. And, as he expected, the first visit to Berlin was not the city-destroying bombs dropped by Soviet bombers, but a psychological offensive with a majestic momentum and millions of leaflets reminding the German people that their so-called democratic government was under the control of the remnants of the Third Reich and that the Soviet advance into Germany would be a just liberation operation.

In Berlin, Soviet bombers dropped paper bombs, while in Prentslau, an important transportation hub and strategic stronghold in northeastern Germany, hundreds of Soviet bombers dropped real high-explosive bombs. In this hard-fought battle, the Luftwaffe unequivocally dispatched two squadrons of Me-262s, with excellent speed performance and hit-and-run maneuver tactics to shoot down more than 20 Soviet bombers, without losing a single of their own side, and the air battle between the fighters of the two sides also proved once again that although the Soviet-made MiG-9 has a higher maximum level flight speed, their unsatisfactory maneuverability and reliability cannot pose a mortal threat to Germany's "predecessors".

In the ground battle at Prenzlau, the 7th Infantry Division of the German Army, assisted by the 3rd Corps of the Imperial Guards, successfully repelled the continuous attacks of the Soviet corps on the northern flank. According to intelligence, this combat corps has two ace units, the 5th Guards Red Banner Stalingrad-Kiev Tank Corps and the 11th Guards Red Banner Carpathian-Berlin Tank Army, and once they break through the Prenzlau Line, these two powerful Soviet armored knives can continue to attack the northern ports such as Rostock to the west, as well as to the northwest of Brandenburg and Saxony, thus cutting off the Berlin region from the deep hinterland. Due to the continuous bombing of the Soviet Air Force and the repeated onslaught of ground forces, the German defenders also suffered heavy losses, and after the tempering of the Great War between the East and the West, the Soviet Army's low-altitude coordination efficiency was even greater than before. After the heavy anti-tank guided rocket ammunition was exhausted, the Germans gradually withdrew from the main positions of Prenzlau on the afternoon of the 15th, and resisted along the communication route to northern Germany, driving the Soviet troops to choose to advance towards Brandenburg and the Saxony area, which was not conducive to the operation of the large corps.

By the night of the 15th, the Germans had lost Korbus, Odeberg, Prentslau, Bautzen and other eastern strongholds, the southern flank of the Soviet army had approached Dresden, the northern flank had occupied Prenzlau, and the central troops crossing the border from Frankfurt am Oder had advanced to an area only more than 40 kilometers from the city of Berlin. Compared with the disappointing frontal battlefield, the German army performed well in the battle of annihilating the German communist insurrectionary forces, carrying out 7 annihilation battles and 21 rout battles in a single day, killing and wounding more than 30,000 insurrectionary troops, capturing 20,000 and dispersing more than 100,000, basically extinguishing the "backyard fire" burned by the German communists; After the leaders of the United States, Britain, and France approved the implementation of secret military aid, the German army made every effort to mobilize the railway and road transport capacity, transported more than 20,000 tons of war materials from France on the same day, and formed the first batch of wartime supplementary infantry regiments according to the predetermined plan, expanding the army by 100,000 in the form of active personnel and reserve soldiers. It is worth mentioning that the submarine forces of the Imperial Guard attacked with all their might, sinking four Soviet ships in the waters north of Poland, including a 700-ton anti-submarine frigate and a 6,000-ton supply ship, which constituted a containment of the Soviet front's sea transportation lines from the very beginning of the war.
