Before the Constant base was fully activated, all Wang Weiyi had to do was to block the enemy's attack on Berlin.

And for Westmoreland and his allies, they also felt a great threat. The return of Baron Alexon will cause tension and unease for any enemy.

Even if the German battlefield advantage was firmly in their hands.

But one baron is enough.

The whole of Germany, encouraged by the return of the baron, was already full of enthusiasm. Before that, most people were full of pessimism and disappointment about the future of Germany, but when the Baron returned in glory, almost every German was already convinced that Germany would achieve the ultimate victory.

It's a very strange state of mind.

Most of Germany had fallen, and only one Berlin was still struggling to hold on, but the Germans still stubbornly believed that the final victory would be theirs.

At least in the eyes of the Allies, the fate of Germany was any chance of victory......

In fact, it was the confidence that had been accumulated in Germany for countless years, a belief in the baron that outsiders could not understand. From the First World War to the Second World War, no matter what kind of difficult circumstances, the Baron always had a miracle, and he never knew what failure was.

And this time it was no different.

Westmoreland decided to organize a strong force and deliver a ferocious blow to Berlin, completely dissipating the confidence of the Germans and breaking the myth of the baron's undefeated.

Allied units of 17 divisions, 8 brigades were mobilized. With a strong air and ground force, Westmoreland organized a military assault operation codenamed "Buran" on December 10.

The goal was very clear, to completely defeat the main German defense line composed of the skeleton division, the division of the Prince of Eugen and the Großdeutsche regiment. End the fighting by the 15th and form a direct attack on Berlin.

The Allies had an absolute superiority in both strength and artillery fire, and they did not see the slightest possibility of failure.

At this time, Wang Weiyi temporarily lost his most powerful helper-Xiao Ling!

Within ten to fifteen days, Xiao Ling's only job is only one - the friends of the Ring Baron, activate the entire base!

In other words, Wang Weiyi had to rely on the strength of the German army to block the enemy's attack. But this point is not much to worry about for Wang Weiyi. In the past. He had tried countless times to fight alone without relying on Xiao Ling's strength, but this time it was just a little different.

Ernst. Field Marshal Bream personally appeared at the front, and he will personally direct this battle!

The appearance of the baron. The confidence boost given to the German soldiers at the front was enormous, and this was a battle personally commanded by Field Marshal Ernst, and they had no reason to lose the battle!

A large number of Allied troops were gathered on the battlefield, and all the German troops involved in the battle were ready......

Before the arrival of this battle, which would decide the fate of Berlin. In the face of the almost frenzied air and ground artillery bombardment of the Allies. Wang Weiyi still seemed so calm, as if nothing could affect this baron whose nerves were cast of steel.

"In front of us, there is the 2nd Armored Cavalry Division of the US Army, the 12th Infantry Division, the 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army, the 72nd Armored Brigade. Italian Trassus Infantry Division, Nestans Rapid Mobile Brigade ......" General Ollitz carefully briefed Field Marshal Ernst on the strong frontal pressure on the German Second Panzer Corps: "And all we can use is the skeleton division. The Großdeutsche Regiment, and two brigades of the National Army. The difference in force is very large. On the front of the Prinz de Eugen's division, they were also under intense pressure. Marshal, I propose to throw the Baronial Guard into battle. ”

"No, it's not time to join the Baroness' Guard." Wang Weiyi pondered for a while and shook his head: "This will be the most important force in our counterattack." ”

The German generals looked at each other, and now that the enemy army was pressing, the baron had actually thought of a counterattack?

"Pull up the Dutch Territorial Storm Division as a general reserve." Wang Weiyi quickly made his own decision: "At the same time, order the strength of another division from the national army, and order the baronial guard to be ready at any time!" ”

"Marshal." General Olitz hesitated: "After all, the Dutch Homeland Storm Division was once a trusted unit of Kroll, and their division commander even committed suicide for Kroll, so I am worried that they will not do their best in battle. ”

"Why don't you trust our soldiers, General Olytz?" Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "What the officers do is just the affairs of the officers, and the soldiers should not be implicated." When I walked into the Empire State Building, I could see in their eyes their loyalty to the country. Don't doubt them, never. ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

"General Guo Yunfeng!" Wang Weiyi set his eyes on his most powerful assistant: "I want you to be on the front line and command our soldiers to fight, are you willing to accept it?" ”

"All I can do about your orders is to obey." This is Guo Yunfeng's answer.

"Fritz. General Klingenberg? Wang Weiyi continued to give his orders to "the miracle of Belgrade": "I need all the special forces to do a good job of sabotage and attack, can you do it?" ”

"Of course, Marshal, it will always be my greatest pleasure to serve you." Klingenberg was in high spirits: "I would love to take command of the troops myself again, but I know my duty. So I already have someone for that. The commander-in-chief of the 21 commandos will go deep behind enemy lines to carry out destruction, and the commander-in-chief of these commandos is Colonel Heisenberg, who has accompanied you many times in the Second World War. ”

"Colonel Heisenberg?" Wang Weiyi suddenly remembered the young man from the Bredenburg Commando who was still a little shy with a smile: "He is now a colonel?" Ah, that's a good candidate. Tell Heisenberg that he can make whatever choice he thinks he should make, and when he returns victorious. Come and see me again. ”

"Yes, marshal, I will tell him what you say."

At this time, the air defense alarm came to mind again. Wang Weiyi didn't pay attention to it at all: "Generals, many of you have fought with me, and I hope you will not forget the honor you once had." Whether Berlin can hold on will depend on this battle. I declare that this combat operation is codenamed 'Unicorn'! ”

Unicorn – This is a mysterious creature, and no animal, not even a horse, can catch up with it. It represents nobility, pride, and purity.

Unicorn – Blizzard!

The head-to-head confrontation between Wang Weiyi and Westmoreland on the battlefield began, and the battle between the Germans and the Allies began, which was completely different from before.

Europe is watching Berlin, and the whole world is watching Berlin......

December 10, 1965. The Allies took advantage of the all-round advantage of open space and ground to carry out wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of German positions, constantly weakening the German army's defensive strength.

And despite the absence of air cover, German artillery fire returned fire with the most stubborn response.

It was the first major decisive battle officially commanded by the Baron after his return. Not a single German soldier wanted to lose victory in this decisive battle. With all things falling behind, they must make up for this gap with tenfold and hundredfold efforts.

The artillery fire tested the determination of both sides, and the German artillery was in a much more difficult situation, and those nasty planes in the sky constantly bombarded the German artillery positions, causing the Germans to suffer many losses that they should not have.

But even in such a situation, not a single German gunner was willing to back down.

For a whole day, the German positions on all fronts were under tremendous pressure. But the German soldiers endured in silence and waited silently.

They were waiting for the last order to be given.

General Garden, the commander of the front who was personally appointed by Westmoreland. He was pleased with the level of artillery coverage. In particular, those B-52 bombers simply inflicted a deadly attack on the Germans.

It is believed that in the combat effectiveness that began tomorrow, the resistance of the German army has been weakened to a minimum......

However, General Corrette was not as confident as he was, he was one of the commanders who had been involved in the attack on Berlin for the longest time, and during this time he fully appreciated the tenacity of the German soldiers.

He had to tell General Garden truthfully that the Allied artillery fire had been no weaker than this one. However, under the attack of powerful artillery fire, the Germans still firmly held their positions.

However, there seemed to be some contempt in General Garden's eyes, and he probably thought that Berlin's delay in falling into the hands of the Allies was entirely due to the incompetence of the front-line commanders. It is believed that tomorrow with just one charge, the Germans will flee.

He had just been transferred from the United States, and like most American officers, he firmly believed that there was no country in the world that could resist the attack of the American army, not even Germany, which was incomparably strong before.

Their main forces are pinned down in North Africa and the Middle East, and what is there to fear about the few remaining native defense forces?

Creet didn't go any further, and it didn't take long for Garden to understand what kind of opponent he was up against......

．．．．．．

On December 11, 1965, after a frenzied bombardment all day yesterday, the Allies continued to suppress with artillery fire, and then a large number of troops appeared on the battlefield.

In such an era, no matter how far technology has developed, it is the infantry that ultimately has to solve the battle.

Ernst. Marshal Bram made a strange arrangement, placing only a small number of Nationalist forces on his flanks to deal with the Italian army.

In the First World War and the Second World War, Wang Weiyi had dealt with the Italians many times, and he knew what kind of virtue these people had.

When he first returned to this era, he was still wary of the Italians, but after the previous encounter, he was sure that the Italian army had not changed in the slightest.

The irregular armed forces of the National Army were more than sufficient to deal with them......

On this point, the German generals also did not have any opinion. After being attacked on the German mainland, they suffered from the Americans, the French, the Russians, but they just didn't take the Italians seriously.

What kind of army are they? At the time when Germany swept across the continent, Italy was nothing more than the little brother behind the German ass. When they were defeated by the enemy on the battlefield, it was always up to the German army to rescue them.

Because of this, the German army inherently had a great sense of superiority over the Italian army.

The situation was similar to that of the Italians with the French army. The German officers and soldiers also looked down on them. During the First World War, the French army was beaten and lost their armor. During the Second World War, the French army, known as the first army in Europe, surrendered after only a few days of support in the face of the powerful German offensive?

This sense of superiority is innate.

And when the Allies began to attack, the situation on the battlefield was already very good for all this.

The first to attack was the Italians, the commander of the Italian army, General Catavaso, who arrived in Germany almost at the same time as General Garden.

He, like any Italian general, was full of arrogance before the start of the war. It is believed that no matter what the enemy is, in front of the majesty of the Italian general, he will surrender without a fight.

Especially after the powerful artillery fire of the Allies spoke. Catavaso's confidence is even stronger......

Without even waiting for General Garden's order to attack, he threw the Trassus Infantry Division and the Nestans Rapid Mobile Brigade into the attack in advance.

The Italians, under the cover of artillery fire and armoured vehicles, rushed aimlessly towards the German positions opposite, and they did not know until this time that they were only facing the armed forces of some irregular bureau.

Defending here were the 2nd and 6th brigades of the German National Army. With a small amount of artillery fire and not much armored vehicles. At the beginning of the enemy artillery attack. Lieutenant General of the National Army Feng. Optmann ordered all these artillery pieces and armored vehicles to be hidden in a safe place.

General Opperman was an aristocratic member of the Junker family who retired in 1960. Originally, he was supposed to spend his old age leisurely with his children, but when the German mainland was attacked, he did not hesitate to re-enlist in the army.

He is 75 years old this year and is no longer fit to be the commander of a front-line unit, so he was placed in the national army. Originally, General Opplemann thought that he would only be used in street battles in Berlin, but he did not expect it. So quickly, he was back on the battlefield he knew so well.

That kind of excitement is probably only understood by soldiers who have participated in the war.

He was especially pleased. He was able to fight again under the command of Baron Alexon.

Italian? General Opperman pursed his lips in disdain, what kind of army are they? They can't even be considered real military men.

Despite the fact that he was not leading a regular army, and although his firepower was far inferior to that of the enemy, General Oppermann decided to teach the Italians a lesson that he would never forget!

General Opperman waited patiently, and the previously hidden artillery and armored vehicles quietly appeared.

Most of the soldiers of the National Army are on the battlefield for the first time, and they are a little eager to fire, but their commanders are some retired veterans who have experienced a hundred battles. They calmly gave the order to wait, calmly waited for the approach of the enemy, and they knew when the best time to strike at the enemy!

The Italians, who had no idea that something terrible would happen soon, continued to swagger forward without any restraint, perhaps thinking that the enemy on the opposite side had already run out.

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of General Opperman's mouth......

Approaching the range of artillery fire...... General Opperman finally gave the order to open fire......

In an instant, all the artillery on the Nationalist positions began to roar, shells whizzed out of the chambers of the cannons and tanks, and then mercilessly fell into the ranks of the enemy, and then explosions and flames quickly surrounded those enemies.

The Italians, who had been arrogant before, suddenly burst into a scream. The Italians who were killed by the bomb lay in pools of blood with broken limbs. Those who were injured by the explosion screamed miserably. Those who were lucky not to be hit by artillery fire turned around and ran away in desperation.

General Catavaso was also annoyed by witnessing the poor performance of his men. After the start of Operation "Buran", he originally planned to attack the enemy's position for the first time by himself and perform well in front of the allies, but what he did not expect was that he was the first to suffer defeat.

A call from General Garden followed, in which General Garden sternly asked Italy why it did not wait for the order to begin the general offensive before attacking. And General Catavaso defended himself, because he found that the enemy was preparing to flee, and this was the best opportunity to attack in advance.

In the face of Catavaso's eloquent words, Garden hesitated: "So how is the current battle situation?" ”

How is the battle going now? The current situation of the war is that under the fire of the Germans, the Italian officers are fleeing in confusion, and the Italian soldiers are fleeing in confusion. But Catavaso said loudly into the phone: "The situation is very good, our tanks are attacking, our soldiers are attacking, at most two hours the enemy's position will be in my hands." ”

"General Katavaso, you made an accurate judgment." Garden's voice sounded a little excited: "I congratulate you in advance on your upcoming victory, and I will report your exploits to Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland." ”

"Of course, our enemies simply cannot continue to hold out." Katavaso put down the phone and wiped the sweat from his head.

Lies will always be exposed, and his reputation will be ruined. The only solution is to win, and only victory can cover up all his mistakes. And in order to achieve victory, it was necessary to rely on the troops that had just been repulsed by the Germans.

But how can the Italians do this! (To be continued......)
