In the autumn of October, the performance of the French army in the Indochina Peninsula was still weak, the North Vietnamese forces supported by the Soviet Union had reoccupied half of Vietnam, and in East Asia, the Red regime had unified the country or had an overwhelming advantage, and in order to curb the expansion of Soviet power, the US government instructed the defeated country Japan to secretly rebuild its army. Germany, Bremen, the focus of the world, the German army surrounds the surging Soviet troops by surprise. It is foreseeable that if the German army repeats its brilliant victory in the Battle of Tribuss, the international prestige of the Soviet Union will be greatly shaken, and there may be a key change in the attitude and stance of Western countries, which will be an extremely valuable opportunity for the German military and civilians in a difficult situation and for the European and American countries suffering from Sovietphobia.

At night, 64 German transport planes entered eastern Saxony and western Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania at low altitudes. Due to the overall industrial level, the Soviet army has not made a breakthrough in airborne radar, and the night interception capability is still very weak, and these German transport planes have successfully sent 32 paratrooper commandos to the rear of the battle line. Although the helicopters of the German army were too busy to transport equipment due to their use in the main battlefields, the paratroopers were allowed to use secret stockpiles and were assisted by regular partisan forces, and they were familiar with attacking and intercepting Soviet reinforcements. With full confidence, the German paratroopers mostly arrived at the intended area of operation on time, and they set up minefields and anti-tank ambush circles overnight, and some of the positions in front of them exchanged fire with Soviet reinforcements that night. Historically, paratroopers had been able to use their nimble tactics to confuse the enemy, but this time, Germany's airborne elite found it difficult to use their combat skills with ease. The minesweeping tanks that led the Soviet armored column looked ugly, but the efficiency of clearing mines was first-class, and the vehicles traveling with the tanks were equipped with anti-aircraft searchlights, as soon as the opponent appeared. They would search with dazzling pillars of light, and the Soviet soldiers were like violent hornets, whether the opponent was attacking from a village, a woods or a field, as long as the searchlight locked on the general direction of the target, they would attack at all means until the attacker was eliminated or driven far out of the danger range. In addition, the German paratroopers were also attacked by Soviet fighters, and the Il-2, flying at night, threw a large number of submunitions under the guidance of the ground troops. Moreover, the submunitions carried by a strong attack aircraft can cause large-scale damage!

The first German paratroopers behind enemy lines showed lackluster performance, and before dawn, German transport planes dropped a second group of paratroopers, focusing on the destruction of the two main lines of communication from Rostock to Hamburg and Berlin to Hamburg. Due to the fact that the accuracy of the night airborne landing is difficult to guarantee. Just before dawn, only about half of the paratroopers arrived at their target, attacking three road bridges and a railway bridge over a tributary of the Elbe, which had been repaired by the Soviets and garrisoned by Soviet garrisons. During the battle, the German paratroopers captured and successfully damaged two road bridges, which, according to common sense, would have to be reduced by wading through the river until the two bridges were repaired. However, after daybreak, the German paratroopers who stayed nearby to spy on the situation found that it took less than 40 minutes for the Soviets to restore the clear road, and the Soviet mechanized bridge-building vehicles played a key role in this. Not only that, the Soviets also strengthened the protection of these bridges with tanks, armored vehicles and anti-aircraft guns, and sent motorized detachments to search the perimeter, leaving the German paratroopers exhausted from hiding and unable to launch a second attack. …,

The sun shines brightly on the fertile fields of northern Germany. Two staggering Soviet mechanized units were advancing towards Hamburg and Bremen, and not only could the German paratroopers slow their pace, but when the Soviet heavy groups entered Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, the battalion and regimental German fast units could not contain their advance momentum -- Soviet officers and men were known for their ability to learn from the battlefield experience, and after the humiliation of the previous two battles, they did not stop advancing in whole formations when they encountered German attacks and blocking troops, Instead, elite combat units were specially assigned to counterattack, and the rest of the troops were forced to advance. In the event of a blockage of the road by tanks and vehicles, the follow-up forces will not hesitate to use explosives. With a cold and decisive approach, the Soviet mechanized corps was able to march more than 150 kilometers a day in the heart of Germany, and its armored vanguard arrived on the outskirts of Hamburg a full 30 hours earlier than the Germans expected!

The unexpected steel collision occurred at noon the day after the German encirclement of the main forces of the Soviet Baltic Front, east of Hamburg and on the north bank of the Elbe, at Grind, just 20 kilometers from the center of Hamburg. Immediately near the confluence of the roads into Hamburg from the east and northeast, the Germans deployed here choked the main passage of Soviet troops in and out of Hamburg, and this was also the outermost fulcrum of the right flank of the "Bremen Encirclement". In the 14 hours prior to this, Soviet troops in and around Hamburg had attacked Grinder three times, and the Germans had been fiercely repulsed in both night and day battles. The German units that won the winning streak consisted of only one regiment and one battalion, namely the 29th Anti-Tank Regiment and the 102nd Separate Tank Battalion of the German Army. Although it bears the name of the German Army, the former was established on the basis of the 29th Anti-Tank Battalion of the Imperial Guard, and the latter was directly under the 2nd Assault Tank Battalion of the Imperial Headquarters, one of the most elite tank units of the Imperial Army. This battalion is based on 16 standard configuration of Panther tanks as the core force, most of them are produced by the factories established by the empire in Argentina and Spain, the self-production rate of parts and components is about 60%, and the rest of the parts need to be imported from other countries in the name of tractors, the overall combat effectiveness is comparable to the Black Panther model at the end of World War II, although the performance is not enough to resist the newly installed T-54 main battle tank of the Soviet Army, with good infantry and tank coordination and flexible tactical use and good performance; The battalion was equipped with more than 20 other combat vehicles, all of which were modified tanks No. 3 and No. 4, whose original configuration could no longer threaten Soviet tanks, removed the main gun and replaced it with guided anti-tank rockets as its main weapon, and No. 4 tank retained long-barreled 75-mm guns and installed unguided rocket launchers on both sides of the turret.

The Soviet tank unit that was the first to enter Grinder was subordinate to the 3rd Guards Red Banner Kotelnikovsky Tank Army, which was included in the general reserve at the beginning of the Soviet attack on Germany, and later transferred to the Baltic Front to fight, which can be called the most elite reserve force. Before the two sides clashed, the German reconnaissance unit had discovered the traces of the Soviet tank column, and the Soviet commander also learned from the friendly forces that Grinder had a strong enemy army stationed in the Grinder, and in fact, they were fighting prepared battles. The German troops in a defensive position attracted the attention of the opponent with the 29th Anti-Tank Regiment in the front, the 102nd Separate Tank Battalion took advantage of the terrain to make a detour, and the Soviets explored the road with an armored reconnaissance company in the front, and the main forces of the tank regiment followed behind. In the first round of the battle, neither air force had time to intervene, the Germans opened fire first, and it took only ten minutes to eliminate the Soviet armored reconnaissance company, and the No. 4 tank of the 102nd separate tank battalion fired rockets while retreating to attract the main Soviet forces, while the Panthers covered in camouflage and the No. 3 tank waited by the roadside. If the Soviet tanks in the rear had gone straight ahead, they would have been ambushed by the flanks of the Panthers and Tank 3 on the way to attack, but the Soviets took a more secure approach, their tanks alternately covered in wedge-shaped echelons, and were closely coordinated by the infantry, while sending detachments to feint on the periphery. As a result, although the German tanks in ambush on the flank destroyed more than 20 Soviet tanks, they were forced to withdraw from the battle and regroup due to the bold advance of the Soviet infantry and the response of the follow-up troops. …,

In the second round of the battle, the Soviets called in fighter planes for support and gathered more forces to attack, and Grinder's German army was already at a 1-3 disadvantage, and the bridge across the Elbe River was repeatedly attacked by Soviet fighters. In the face of a very unfavorable situation, the German battle leaders kept a calm head, they feigned retreat, and gave their opponents a beautiful blocking battle halfway, destroying 9 T-34/85 tanks at the cost of 1 Panther and 1 No. 4 tank, thus putting the Battle of Grind into a night duel. In the 102nd Tank Battalion, all the Panthers were equipped with infrared night vision devices, and a third of the vehicles of the two main tank regiments of the 3rd Guards Tank Army of the Soviet Army were equipped with night vision equipment, as well as several high-power searchlights. The German officers and men confidently engaged in the night battle, and they quickly drove the Soviets out of Grinder, and the 102nd Separate Tank Battalion pursued the victory, but the cautious play of the opponents prevented them from extending their gains further.

Outside the encirclement, the Soviet army was approaching strongly in the starry night and night, while on the front line of Bremen, the German army, which had switched from defense to attack, failed to break through the defensive line of the besieged Soviet army as scheduled, and the main forces of both sides fought fiercely for two days in the Felden area southeast of Bremen, each paying a considerable price. Earlier in Tribses, the Germans had done their best to inflict heavy losses on four Soviet divisions, and that victory was also due to the "bitter ploy" played by the 4th Army at Lukenwald. Knowing that their troops had become the end of a strong crossbow, and if they persisted, they would not win the victory in the encirclement and annihilation battle, but would be seized by the Soviet army to win a decisive victory, so the German Joint Staff ordered the orderly transfer of all units. After this inextricable contest, the German army began to withdraw from the northwestern part of Germany, and the Soviet troops who had relieved the siege steadily advanced. On 23 October, the Soviets re-entered the outskirts of Bremen, the last neutral ships left Bremerhaven, and the German ships transferred to Wilhelmsport began to move towards the East Frisian Islands. On October 26, the Soviet army completed the land encirclement of Bremen, and the German troops left behind in Bremen could only communicate with the outside world by sea, and the German Joint Staff issued the final retreat order on the same day, and more than 10,000 German officers and soldiers evacuated by naval ships at night, and when the Soviet army occupied Bremen the next morning, more than 1,000 German defenders who had not had time to retreat became prisoners of war.
