Chapter 29: The Fight (Part II)

"Do not be deceived by the fascist vision of the future that the fascists have drawn up for you, the German people who seek independence, autonomy and freedom, and have you forgotten the pain and sorrow that the war has brought to this country, this nation and millions of families? War will not bring you a happy life, war will only kill your relatives and your children, the road of peace and democracy is the right way to save Germany, believe us ......"

Outside, the Soviets broadcast heart-attacking statements over and over again on loudspeakers, and in the gloomy sewers, Lynn and his three remaining subordinates sat weakly. The Stuttgart uprising had been going on for a whole day and night, with the vast majority of the fighters either killed or given up resistance, and those who had been lucky enough to hide could no longer pose a threat to the Soviet forces retaking Stuttgart, they had lost contact with each other and had no access to the outside world, all they could do was wait quietly until the Soviets completely cleaned up the vast sewer system.

"How ridiculous!" Tan Ze smiled up, "In the past 8 years, countless Germans have died from Soviet artillery fire, bullets, bayonets, fists and barbed wire, the machinery and equipment of the factory have been dismantled and shipped back to the Soviet Union, and every winter people die because of lack of heating fuel and food, this is what they call peaceful democracy!" ”

The other two, one is a land sergeant of the Imperial Guard, and the other is the commando leader of the Baath Freedom Regiment, and their iron will is unquestionable to follow Lynn to this point. It's just that a failed uprising is really difficult to cheer up the survivors, the expression on the face of the emperor ** people looks very numb, and the mentality of the soldiers of the Freedom Regiment seems to be very lost.

"That's how the Soviets thought they were smart." Lynn whispered, and his comment would be more fully proven in a few years.

Overhead, there was a faint roar of engines, and the four of them all turned into wood carvings, until the noise outside was only the noise of the horn, and the leader of the Freedom Regiment assault team, who had suffered a gunshot wound to his arm and a bullet still in his body, asked: "Sir, even if the sacrifices we make can eventually drive the Soviets out of Germany, the geography that plagues us has not changed." The country's economy and industry have become weaker than ever, even inferior to some Asian countries. Not to mention us, even our juniors and juniors, will there ever be a chance to see the day when Germany becomes strong again and then defeats strong enemies one by one? ”

Similar doubts. Every German determined to resist Soviet aggression may think before scooping up his weapons, and it is difficult for small human beings to accurately judge the trajectory of history, and Lynn's advantage lies in his knowledge of the old historical time and space. Judging from the historical trend, it will not take a few years for the military powers to enter the nuclear threshold one by one, and the era of nuclear checks and balances means that the chances of defeating the old enemy militarily are very small, but the Red Empire eventually collapsed in the endless arms race, the clumsy aggressive policy, and all kinds of internal friction, which means that the collision between camps and countries is no longer the only way to fight face-to-face on the battlefield.

"As long as the country is independent and the nation is free. We will be able to rise from the ruins, and if we don't do it in 20 years, we will do it in 40 or 60 years! I am convinced that, with the courageous, industrious, and conscientious character of the German nation, it is inevitable that we will return to the ranks of great powers, and that we will see remarkable results in our lifetime - if you have not seen it until the day of your death, you may despise me with contempt in heaven. ”

Lynn's explanation was not the first time it was used to encourage depressed soldiers, but during the difficult times of the first two battles of the Upper Rhine Valley, before openly resisting the Soviet occupation. It had allowed many bewildered and hesitant fighters to find their way, but this time, the soldiers of the Freedom Regiment with the heart of death only squeezed out a wry smile from the corner of their mouths: "Until the day of death?" Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow morning...... Sir! ”…,

If he really wants to die in Stuttgart, Lynn thought to himself, it is also his fate that he cannot change. From 1945 to 1949, more than four years, more than 1,000 days and nights, I personally experienced the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of war, and what I could not let go of was not the unfulfilled grand wishes, nor the pinnacle of supreme power, but the infinite attachment to true friendship -- this was not only sincere friendship for comrades-in-arms, but also family affection for wives and daughters. And these are things that Lynn didn't have in the old plane.

Sitting on the edge of hope and despair, the four of Lynn resigned themselves to the passage of time, and after a long time, there was a rumbling sound from the surface of the earth, and there was a clear tremor in the sewers. Everyone in their right mind was aware of this change, and Tanze was the first to speculate: "Soviet troops are evacuating Stuttgart?" Forced by our national uprising and the counteroffensive of the Free Army? What time is it. What time is it? ”

Lynn's watch was broken during the battle, and Sergeant Di ** rolled up his sleeves, fortunately, the hands of the watches they were issued with fluorescent agents were able to read the indices in the dark.

"Two points...... It's half past three, two points short. ”

"So we've been holding out all day, night and 15 hours!" Tanze tried to set the mood in the middle of a bitter mindset, and only 4 years ago, the 18-year-old was a recruit who didn't know what to do when he went to the battlefield.

Optimism in the face of adversity is like a spark in the dark, and even if it does not illuminate the way, it can make people feel positive. After a while, Sergeant Di ** suggested: "We still have a few bullets, wait until after dark to feel out and see the situation, even if it is glorious, we have kept the promise to fight to the last man, how about it?" ”

"Very good!" Tanze immediately responded.

Lynn said, "I'm fine, North, you're injured, or stay and defend!" ”

The disappointed man did not give up his efforts, and the leader of the commando team refused Lynn's care: "A small injury, it does not prevent me from shooting with a pistol, besides, there is nothing to defend here." ”

"Well, let's have a full meal, get a good night's sleep for a few hours, and have enough spirit to fight the enemy!" Even though the four of them could only make up two boxes of canned meat, five chocolates, half a jug of fresh water, and some broken bread, Lynn said this with pride. Their ammunition was worse than food, with only thirty-three rounds left for four assault rifles and eight full magazines for five pistols, which was too little to deal with the Soviet soldiers all over the city.

In this afternoon, the imperial ** team that arrived on Rügen Island has reached as many as 7,000 people, in addition to the conventional combat vehicles and artillery, it is also equipped with 10 armored vehicles equipped with multiple rocket launchers, 12 sets of anti-aircraft missile launchers, and a large amount of ammunition and materials. Under these circumstances, the combat column of the Soviet North German Front was transferred to the front, the mechanized corps was rushing towards Rügen, and the Soviet troops stationed in Berlin also sent a fully equipped tank unit to the north to help. However, these two lines of rapid mobile troops not only failed to run as fast as they should in the well-developed German territory, but climbed as slowly as a turtle as if they were marching in the mud -- the large bridges along the railway line were closely protected by the Soviet troops, but the small bridges that crossed the canals were forcibly attacked and blasted by the German insurgents, and all kinds of mines were planted along the highway and even around the railway line. The cost of the bombing of more than 30 military vehicles was still not able to pass quickly, and finally had to wait for the sappers to open a safe passage on the main road; At Sanitz, Soviet tank units were attacked by anti-tank guided rockets on their way, and the insurgents used improvised slides to launch guided rockets from the woods, retreated directly, and then continued their attacks at the next ambush site, forcing the Soviets to slow down and move forward. By the time the Soviet vanguard on the western and southern routes overcame many obstacles and reached Stralsund, near the island of Rügen, night had already fallen for several hours. …,

Taking advantage of the night advantage of the home battle, the emperor ** team showed its fangs that were temporarily hidden in the sun, and the Soviet army also launched three armies at the same time, and the duel momentum jumped out. In the vicinity of Rügen Island and in the Great and Small Belt Straits, the escort ships of the Imperial Fleet not only continued to engage with Soviet submarines, torpedo boats, and gunboats, but also faced for the first time the heavy combat ships of the Soviet Navy, the newly commissioned Chabaev-class light cruiser "Chikalov". The surface ship, which began construction in 1939 and was interrupted during World War II, has a standard displacement of 11,000 tons, is equipped with four triple 6-inch guns, and is heavily armored and well-equipped, making it equivalent to a lightweight heavy cruiser in terms of combat effectiveness. With this all-round cruiser as the combat flagship, a combat formation of 17 Soviet ships entered the waters southeast of Loland Island at night, cutting off the sea route from Loland Island to Rügen. Although the number of ships and submarines put into escort by the imperial ** team was greater than that of the opponent, there was not a single 10,000-ton combat ship, and the efficiency of attack planes and bombers in night combat could not be counted on, so they had to rely on torpedo boats and submarines to attack the opponent in turn.

Despite the danger of being attacked by Soviet ships at any time, the ships that provided maritime support for the Imperial fleet traveled frequently between the Danish islands and the European continent throughout the night, opening up a number of new landing grounds in the roots of Jutland and even on the coast of northwestern Germany. As far as conventional tactics are concerned, it is not wise to disperse forces in the case of the enemy's deployment of a large number of mobile combat units along the coastline, but extraordinary battles require extraordinary strategies, and every landing of the imperial ** team can be responded to by the insurgents and underground resistors, who do not stick to the beachhead, but use the gap in the connection of the Soviet troops when they move to carry out flexible operations, and cooperate with the rebels to mislead the judgment of the Soviet army, creating a false image that the imperial forces are very strong in some areas, and marching covertly in other areas, Launching surprise attacks on Soviet towns far from the coast and strangling a large number of Soviet second-line troops made the Soviet army passive and disadvantageous everywhere. In the two places south of Hamburg, in Sevotal and Buchholz, the imperial ** team resolutely invested heavy troops, successively resisted the fierce attack of the Soviet troops, and induced the Soviet command to send reinforcements to the main combat area despite the sharp decline in the mobility of the troops.
