952. March 21
Fierce battles are being fought on all fronts, and at this time, Wang Weiyi's counterattack has begun!
This is a long-awaited counterattack!
When the order to counterattack is given, all the firepower in the city of Berlin is in full swing! Countless war eagles appeared in the sky in an instant. Countless missiles, baring their hideous fangs.
This is - a German counterattack!
This is - the roar of a people in times of danger!
Wang Weiyi and all the Germans witnessed it happening!
This is an earth-shattering scene, this is the most shocking scene.
If there were reservations before, this time Berlin showed their full strength:
Strength from the Konstan base!
The noisy artillery fire shook the whole land, and the shells fell one after another, interweaving the most cruel, but also the most magnificent scenes on the battlefield.
War—since war has been chosen—let it be more violent!
A smile bloomed at the corner of Wang Weiyi's mouth......
It was March 21, 1966...... In Berlin, on the eastern and western fronts of the German capital, the Germans launched a full-scale counterattack.
The Luftwaffe, which had temporarily disappeared from the battlefield for a long time, was in the field of Manfred. Under the command of Air Marshal Richthofen, it soared again into the sky.
To the frustration of the Allies, they had never been able to find the secret air base in Berlin during the previous bombing, and all the credit should be attributed to the Ziguang military base.
Thanks to this base, Xiaoling should also be thanked......
W9A "Storm" fighter-bomber. The BF209 supersonic light fighter appeared in the sky, and these air forces, which were ahead of the Allies, quickly burst into their own formidable power.
The brave and fearless German pilots. After pressing the revenge button, air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles erupted like beautiful rainbows.
And leading this powerful force is Richthofen - the "Red Baron"!
An immortal fire phoenix in the sky......
"SI." "Three-warhead missiles" and "Rhine Daughter III" surface-to-air missiles also appeared at the same time, and they are like ancient giants, finally awakening today. With the pride of Germany, with the glory of Germany, he shows his unstoppable charm to the fullest.
Of course. Such a charm is a kiss of death for the enemy.
Leopard IX, Destroyer 3 heavy tank, Hunter wheeled armored vehicle...... Take your own steps of steel on the fiery battlefield, swept like a torrent, destroying everything.
The most shocking thing is not these new weapons, but the soldiers who fought hard for their country. When the horn of the counterattack sounds. They had been fighting this hard-fought battle before. They all jumped out of their trenches at the first time and threw themselves into this fiery counterattack.
This is exactly what Wang Weiyi wants to see......
Every inch of Berlin was thrown into such a counterattack, no one was a bystander, and all of them thought of themselves as real fighters.
They need victory, they need to drive all the enemies out of the city.
Rommel, Guderian, Ludwig, all the former skeleton commandos were present on the battlefield, and they were to command the troops themselves. Witness the victory with your own eyes.
Just like their captain, Baron Alexon......
The first to suffer a catastrophic attack was the French 29th Infantry Division. They were close to seeing victory. But it's only almost.
In the moments before the victory, the German counterattack began without warning......
There was nothing more humiliating for General Avanade, who was facing nothing more than a bunch of children, but even if his opponent was really children, he would not be able to win.
The roaring German warplanes and missiles blew up his team in one fell swoop. Then, the Princes of Eugen's Division and the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Nationalist Army, which emerged from the flank, cut off the French 29th Infantry Division from each other in the shortest possible time.
Nightmare, this is a complete nightmare for the French.
The chain of command quickly collapsed......
On the morning of March 21, the Allied Commander-in-Chief, Westmoreland, also specifically questioned General Avanade, and the French General replied to the American Commander-in-Chief that they would be able to make a decisive breakthrough today.
It's a pity that he completely broke his promise......
It was not the French who made the decisive breakthrough, but the German army!
On this battlefield, the command of all German units was handed over to the two winners of the first class general - General Guo Yunfeng!
The captured Chinese worker in the Chinese Labor Brigade has now grown into an iron-blooded general. No, if it weren't for the restrictions, he would have been a German field marshal!
Whether it is a marshal or a winner of the two first-class generals, it is the same for Guo Yunfeng. He doesn't care about his rank, the only thing he cares about is victory.
From the first minute of the counterattack, he sent all his troops into the battlefield without reservation, including the children of the German Army Junior Division.
These German children, who have gone through the most brutal tests and the most brutal battles, now is the time for them to taste the fruits of victory.
All the children of the Army Junior Division rushed out of their positions with roars and shouts...... During these days of defensive battles, many young lives remained in this position, and the time had come to avenge them......
Once the anger that has been stored up for a long time erupts, it will become a very terrifying amount of power......
Following the advancing tank, the children used their weapons to vent their sadness and anger in their hearts. When they first stepped onto the battlefield, they still longed for the romance on the battlefield. But when the first gunshot rang out, they realized that the battlefield had nothing to do with romance.
Battlefield – it's all about blood and death!
“...... If the goddess of fate abandons us, if we are no longer able to return to our homeland. If a bullet comes at us and ends our fate, at least our faithful tank will give us a metal grave......"
The German song seems to be reverberating on the battlefield......
Or tanks, or loess. There will always be a grave of its own...... Bury yourself, or bury your enemies, there's always a way to end it all......
From this moment on, they have grown and they are no longer children in the eyes of others......
The sound of artillery and machine guns was accompanied by the firmest determination in their hearts......
The French 29th Infantry Division was already in disarray, and these French could not have thought of it. The Germans still had such a powerful counterattack.
Avanade, meanwhile, didn't feel the slightest panic...... It seems somewhat strange that his forces are facing defeat.
But. At this moment, Avanade is more just appreciative.
War aside, grievances between Germany and France aside, the German army was always so passionate and so admirable.
No matter how difficult and harsh the environment is. They also have a way to win.
"Today. The German counterattack finally came under unimaginable circumstances...... "Avanade wrote in his diary:
"The children, who had been struggling in the trenches before, jumped out of their positions as if they had been given hormones as if they had been beaten at the horn of the counterattack, and they seemed to have no idea what the exhaustion was, which was what the French and American armies lacked. That fearless spirit...... Today is March 21, 1966, and the weather is quite good, but there are a large number of German warplanes above our heads, and a large number of German tanks on the ground. And whistling in the air were the missiles of the Germans...... Our intelligence services have made the same mistakes time and time again. They always think that Germany's war power has been exhausted, but Germany has proved us wrong again and again......
Let's be honest. In fact, I was not so afraid, whether it was victory or defeat, I did my duty, and the real root cause of the mistake was actually at our decision-making level...... I looked at the battlefield, and we were probably going to collapse by tonight at the latest, and I asked General Westmoreland for reinforcements, but our commander-in-chief was at a loss for what was going on on the battlefield. Maybe he's trying his best to save us, trying to figure out a solution to the problem, but there's nothing he can do. Because Germany is counterattacking on all fronts...... If I become a prisoner of the Germans, or die on the battlefield, I hope that my defeat will be a wake-up call for everyone......"
Avanade's diary is very meaningful, and it allows future generations to know what happened in March 1966.
Avanade has seen defeat coming......
At the same moment when Germany counterattacked, the Führer of the Reich, Adolf. Hitler also made the most important speech in the Reichstag to Berlin, to the whole of Germany, and to the whole world:
"On March 21, 1966, the great German army was held in Ernst. Alexon. Feng. A great counterattack was launched under the command of Marshal Bream...... It's a day that will be remembered in history...... Our homeland has suffered enough, and this counterattack will be the beginning of ending it...... No one can wreak havoc on German soil, and the days of bullying will never return, this is the oath of me, the head of an empire. We will do everything in our power and loyalty to give our troops the utmost help...... German soldiers, citizens of Germany, I ask all of you to fight to the end for the glory of Germany! Long live Germany! Long live the German people! Long live the German army! ”
The cry of hooray resounded throughout Berlin and throughout the battlefield!
The phone of the front-line headquarters was ringing constantly, and Wang Weiyi calmly looked at the battlefield that had been completely covered by the smoke of gunpowder. What he wanted to see was finally presented to him......
On the radio, Adolf was playing over and over again. Hitler's speech, the whole of Berlin has already taken action. Under the leadership of the Reich Führer, under the command of the Reich Marshal!
"Marshal, the 7th Panzer Division of the Prince of Eugen has broken through the A3 defensive line."
"Marshal. The 21st Infantry Brigade of the National Army is advancing towards the B6 area. ”
One by one, voices kept ringing in Wang Weiyi's ears, he slowly turned his head, and then said slowly: "Don't tell me about the progress of the war. I just want the most out of the last result. ”
It doesn't matter how the process is, victory is the only ......
When he came to this plane again, he saw a harrowing scene, and he was fully confident that the mighty German Empire he had built would collapse. But as time went on, he realized that the edifice hadn't really collapsed, and that it had been so firmly rooted.
So he believes that everything can be reversed. And now, it has completely proved his judgment.
If the victory in the First Battle of Berlin was a great deal of chance. Then the victory in the Second Battle of Berlin was completely expected.
The opening of the Constantine base, the awakening of the Imperial Legion of the Immortals...... Together, everything forms the basis of victory......
Several German warhawks roared overhead, which finally made Wang Weiyi raise his head. He likes such battlefields. Loved the feeling and saw the mighty German army in the sky and on the ground.
The goddess of victory is smiling at herself!
It was March 21, 1966......
......
"General, the 66 Infantry Regiment of the French was routed by us!"
"Leave them alone and keep pushing closer to the heart of the French."
"General. A Canadian army is approaching us! ”
"Order the National Army to block. Tell them that I need two hours of my time! ”
Guo Yunfeng kept listening to the report and constantly giving his own orders.
Victory is already within reach......
The French force was truly different, and when they had overcome the initial chaos, they did their best to organize a counterattack.
What kind of generals bring out what kind of troops, this sentence is well reflected in the body of the French 29th Infantry Division.
So, this also made Guo Yunfeng curious about the generals of the French.
Maybe they'll be able to talk face-to-face.
At 1 p.m., the Germans were led by the 7th Mountain Infantry Battalion and the 7th Panzer Company of the Prinz Eugen Mountain Division. A surprise attack was launched on the 65th Infantry Regiment of the French Army.
This was the most torturous period for the French. By this time, the 66th Infantry Regiment on their flanks had already been annihilated. They are completely unprotected.
Avanade demanded that they must hold out until dark, but this was an impossible task for the 65 Infantry Regiment.
Colonel Chirang didn't have any confidence...... The switch from offense to defense happened so suddenly......
In the sky, the Allied planes were defeated by the attack of the German flying formation, and the difference in aircraft performance was too obvious, which allowed the Luftwaffe to make up for the numerical disadvantage very well.
Today is not a war of attrition, but a war that will lay the course of the German battlefield.
And the constant appearance of missiles and shells also made Colonel Zirang and his soldiers feel frightened - how much strength are the Germans still hiding?
Bad news continued to come from the front, and one position after another was destroyed under the powerful assault of the German army. Shortly after Avanade's order, the 7th Mountain Armored Hunter Unit and the 7th Mountain Engineer Battalion of the Eugen Mountain Division joined the attack sequence at the same time.
It's frustrating......
At 1:30, Avanade called again to inquire about the situation at the front, and Colonel Qi fully understood what the general meant, once his 65th Infantry Regiment was broken through, then the division headquarters of the 29th Infantry Division would be attacked most directly. On the phone, he honestly reported the current battle situation to the general:
"General, I don't think it's possible for us to hold out until dark, I have no control over my troops at all now, the soldiers are still showing great bravery, but our combat units have been cut by the enemy. If you can come to my position and see, maybe you can see that we are going to be defeated in an hour......"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, probably Avanade didn't expect the situation on the battlefield to deteriorate to such a point, and after a full few minutes, Avanade's voice sounded again: "Colonel, I thank you and all the soldiers for your efforts, and now, I grant you special powers, in the event that you cannot hold on, I allow you to lead the soldiers to surrender." ”
"Thank you, General, for saving the lives of most of the soldiers. I think I'll soon give the order to surrender, hoping that those Germans will treat us well. I would like to offer you my personal advice, the battle is no longer sustainable, please evacuate here as soon as possible. ”
"Colonel, I appreciate your advice the same, but for the honor of the soldiers, I will not give up my soldiers. I think maybe in the prisoner of war camps we could have a better discussion about the battle. Good luck, Colonel. ”
"Good luck, General!"
The phone was hung up.
Colonel Qi let out a deep sigh, there was no way, no one thought that it would be such an ending, and no one thought that the troops who saw victory in hand would be forced to face defeat.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if it ends like this, it can be regarded as a good ending. At the very least, I don't have to think about what to command the battle anymore.
"Colonel, our right flank has been broken through!"
When the voice reached Zirang's ears, the Colonel knew it was time to put an end to it all. He picked up the phone again, and gave his orders to all the officers he could reach:
"I am the commander of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 65th Infantry Division of the French Army, the war is over, and I approve your surrender to the German army nearby."
After speaking, he put down the phone, and then carefully sorted out the military uniform on his body. (To be continued......)
