The fourth update

Air force airfields in Dresden and Schwerin were put on maximum alert. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The Su-34 bomber formation and the MiG-29 fighter squadron on the info tarmac are on 24-hour standby, the cannons and missiles hanging under them have been fully loaded, and the fuel has been filled and can take off at any time. Should the German Democratic Republican Army begin its assault on Berlin, they will fully support the 7th Panzer Division, providing fire cover for the attacking forces.

A steady stream of T72 and T80 tanks drove out of their hiding bunkers, and the Soviets built a large number of armored vehicle bunkers in East Germany because they hid some of the armored forces. And now, it is just the right place for the German Democratic Republican Army to provide shelter and accumulate strength for the final major counteroffensive.

Not only in Berlin, but also in the Kremlin and the Lubyanka, the atmosphere is dull and palpitating. There were constant messages coming back from the side of the KGB, including the transfer of forces in Bernau, Oranienburg, Fürstenwald and Shultsendorf, and Yanayev saw everything in his eyes.

The Kremlin's office was dimly lit, and Yanayev sat on a sofa, the shadows outlining his body in a blurred outline, and in the darkness only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard, and the smell of smoke lingering in the office.

When he snuffed out the fifth cigarette butt and finally spoke out of silence, his voice was still flat, as if telling something inconsequential, "Germany's history will be rewritten at this moment, the United States has done a good job as a predator, and the peace talks between Germany and Germany are not the final result that Mario wants to see, at least the current Germany is only hurting the skin, not really hurting the bones." ”

The predator status that Yanayev mentioned was, of course, the impact on German finance, and the prolonged war would lead to a devastating blow to the economy and immeasurable damage to financial investment. In the event of the decline of Europe, the world's largest economy, the beneficiaries will inevitably be the few remaining "financial empires" that are trying to carve up the financial markets. The White House, which was sharpening its knives, must have been one of them, and the Soviet Union, which urgently needed to use German finance to support its domestic economy, was also one of them.

"Once Berlin is captured, it will inevitably open a gap in Pandora's box. The Bundeswehr will not suffer from this, and they will fight back as well. Yanayev said with a wry smile, "The capture of Berlin is not the end, but the beginning of the war in Germany." ”

Peace and stability in Germany were not in the hands of Kohl or Jonishkis, but in the hands of the United States and the Soviet Union. It is entirely possible to use the status of permanent members to suppress this turmoil.

Vladimir said to Yanayev, "But we don't want this unrest to end so quickly, do we?" ”

"Yes." The current situation in Germany was what Yanayev wanted to see the most, and the turbulent civil strife gave the Soviet Union a fair and honest reason to establish a permanent garrison in East Germany. Although Yanayev gave up most of his interests, he was well aware that these interests would be nothing more than a flash in the pan until the war was over. It would be better to keep the position of the German Democratic Baath Party and keep Germany in a state of long-term turmoil.

"Unless the day comes when the Federal Republic of Germany is forced to submit, or the German Democratic Baath Party is tired of the war, they will sit down at the negotiating table and discuss the problem. Until then, the war will never stop. ”

The war never stops, and this is what Yanayev's Berlin operation ultimately wanted to see.

The city of Berlin is returning to its previous state, and the curfew has ended. The barricades and barbed wire fences in the streets have also been removed, and some of the remaining armoured vehicles are under martial law in the former war zone. Traces of previous wars can still be seen here. The walls of the crater smashed by the shells, the walls favored by the 7.62mm machine gun left the hornet's nest bullet holes, and the asphalt road smashed by the rocket launchers, leaving only a hemispherical deep pit. Everything is a reminder of the fierceness of the battle.

But now everything in the city is calm. Cole announced the post-war reconstruction, and the city would soon return to prosperity. General Henry, who was in charge of garrisoning Berlin, was also packing up his office and preparing to evacuate from here. The German Democratic Republican Army has been evacuated, and there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

Henry picked up a piece of paper, which was covered in scribbles and some red markings. He was a little curious to find out that this was the deployment map of the previous East German armored bunker.

Just as he was about to throw the sketch into the trash, he seemed to notice something, and quickly picked up the pattern again, looked at it carefully a few times, and suddenly thought of something, he gasped and realized that something might happen.

Between Bernau, Fürstenwald and Schulzendorf, there were actually a large number of armored unit bunkers. The sheer number of these secret bunkers, buried deep beneath the hills and mountains, was beyond Henry's imagination.

These were secrets until the dissolution of the GDR, and many secrets were rediscovered after the liberation. The federal government has long forgotten about these abandoned bunkers, but it is highly likely that the East Germans have repurposed them.

Henry didn't even think of these open secrets at the critical moment.

This also explains why the armored units of the German Democratic Republican Army (DRA) were able to "disappear" from the map so quickly and headed for Schwerin and Dresden. In fact, the vast majority of the armored forces had never left the area around Berlin at all, and they had been accumulating strength to prepare for a counteroffensive.

Thinking of this, Henry felt like a man's back. With the support of the Soviet "peacekeepers", perhaps the number of armored troops around Berlin has exceeded the number of the initial attack, and it may even build a real "steel torrent". It's just that neither the Bundeswehr nor the United States knows anything about it. Coupled with the number of Soviet air forces stationed on the territory of Germany, East Germany had an absolute advantage, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Terrible conjecture.

But it also explains why, in just a few days, the Berlin troops were completely dismantled.

Henry hurriedly picked up the phone, he wanted to inform the Minister of Defense Shalping of his terrible conjecture, even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance of winning, it would be a nightmare for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Before his fingers could touch the button, the sudden burst of fire outside the window caught Henry off guard and fell to the ground, shattering the glass and covering him all over him.

Henry leaned on the table, grinning and getting up, looking out. A rocket hit the courtyard of the headquarters right now, blowing up a huge crater, and all the cars around it were overturned to the ground, and the guards in the courtyard were also affected by the explosion, and fell to the ground groaning in pain, the situation was worse than that of Henry, who was hiding indoors.

Henry briefly bandaged his arm, which had been cut by a shard of glass, and poked his head out of the window, just in time to see the rockets flying like a meteor shower in the direction of downtown Berlin. One of the rockets landed right on the roof of a nearby building, sending smoke and debris from the explosion into the courtyard.

After the explosion, only half of the building remained.

Fear was imprinted in everyone's hearts, and Henry finally realized that a terrible battle was about to break out in Berlin. Compared to the previous battles, it is even better.

At this time, someone rushed into the office and anxiously reported the bad situation to Henry.

"Oh no, Berlin has been devastated, the enemy attack is too fierce, and now Berlin needs reinforcements everywhere! General Henry, please give the order. ”

Henry glanced back at him, and instead of giving him the reply he deserved, he was in deep despair. Where is there still enough garrison in Berlin to slow down the enemy's offensive? If everything really went according to his mind, the armored forces attacking Berlin now must be stronger than they had been in the battle five days earlier.

The only thing the Bundeswehr can do, even if it is fought to the death, slows down the pace of the opponent's offensive.

Constant explosions burned the rising fireballs, and the entire eastern part of Berlin was devastated.

The overwhelming fire of rockets, all this is a signal of the prelude to the war. Heralded the return of Germany's war machine. The Iron Cross Eagle spread its wings of steel, casting the shadow of war over Berlin again.

The German tank is ready to return to Berlin. (To be continued.) )
