- This is a bold and unparalleled attack plan that is completely beyond everyone's expectations!
On July 2, 1966, under circumstances that no one expected, the German army, with the cooperation of the British Royal Navy and the Italian Navy, carried out a large-scale landing in the German city of L¨¹beck!
This was a large-scale landing operation. Most of the British Royal Navy, German armed helicopters, transport aircraft, etc., all participated in this operation.
This is a perfect sea, land and air cooperation!
The battle code name is "Thunderstorm", and the commander-in-chief of the battle is German Marshal Fritz Erich von Manstein! The great marshal who commanded the German army in the Middle East!
The main components of the ground forces participating in the war are those who have experienced hundreds of battles in the Middle East theater and are the most elite group of German armed forces:
The German Manstein Cluster!
??Previously, as the German army continued to win in the Middle East, and countries such as Turkey and Iran successively joined the Allies and dispatched large-scale troops into North Africa and the Middle East, Manstein had been able to free up his hands from the Middle East.
He was appointed commander-in-chief of "Operation Thunderstorm" by Ernst Brahm! One of Germany's most outstanding marshals!
What is surprising is that such a large-scale troop mobilization was not even detected by the Allies. And for this, we must thank Xiaoling and her Purple Light Military Base, who have been silent for a long time!
Xiaoling and Ziguang military bases are using various means that are far ahead of this era to undermine the Allied reconnaissance, releasing false signals to interfere with the Allied radars and all communication and reconnaissance methods!
If the war ends with Germany¡¯s victory, there is no doubt that Xiaoling and Ziguang military bases will be the biggest behind-the-scenes contributors to this victory.
Once L¨¹beck is back in German hands, the German army and their allies will be able to launch an unscrupulous attack along the lines of Hamburg and Bremen, and even surround all the Allied forces in Germany!
What returned to Germany was a truly elite division that had experienced hundreds of battles!
Now, the Allies finally know the true intentions of the German army, and Brigadier General Duby in Hanover finally knows the true intention of the German army.
"The reinforcements to Teton and the attack on Hannover are all fake. The Germans are simply hiding their real plan there - "Thunderstorm"!
Everything is nothing more than acting and confusing the enemy. Such a large-scale landing operation is the real intention of the Germans!
The Allied forces are falling into a terrible siege. £® £® £® £® £®
But it was too late for them. £® £® £® £® £® The only hope for the Allied forces and their commander-in-chief Westmoreland now is that L¨¹beck and the nearby Allied forces can do their best to hold on there, otherwise a terrible disaster will soon come.
But judging from the dynamics and momentum of the Germans, they will never let their enemies realize their "dream" like this!
"Victory has never been so close to me" After finally receiving the news he needed to wait for, Wang Weiyi was surprisingly calm: "Now, let us end the battle in Hannover!"
Let¡¯s end the battle in Hanover - when Marshal Ernst Brahm issued this order, the German soldiers finally revealed their most ferocious minions without reservation!
This is the real attack - the most authentic manifestation of the German army's true combat effectiveness!
Wang Weiyi unreservedly invested all the strength he could, and issued his new order: end all battles in Hanover before July 5th!
It sounds a little difficult, but when the German and British soldiers here heard that the powerful German army had completed the landing in L¨¹beck, huge cheers rang out in their mouths. £® £® £® £® £®
There¡¯s nothing more exciting than this!
They fought for their country, for the freedom and glory of Germany, but no one ever told them when the war would end.
However, this day has already appeared in front of them. £® £® £® £® £®
That kind of excitement and ecstasy, that kind of huge enthusiasm, cannot be described in words, and this is reflected on the battlefield, that is, the lightning-like attack!
On the contrary, the morale of the Allied forces, which had been fighting tenaciously, suffered a serious blow!
Soldiers have faith, and it is their faith that keeps them from giving in. But once such faith collapses, the most terrifying thing will happen.
At this time, Brigadier General Dolby was experiencing the most painful moment in his life.
He once felt complacent that he could block the German offensive. He once thought that he could fight the Skeleton Baron inextricably and classified himself as a famous general of the generation.
But now he realizes that all this is just his fantasy. £® £® £® £® £® Is there any blow in this world more cruel than this?
No matter how much time we continue to hold on in Hannover, it has become meaningless. £® £® £® £® £® However, what made him feel helpless was that even if it was meaningless, he had to defend desperately.
Only I can understand the pain!
Brigadier General Dolby smiled bitterly. £® £® £® £® £® What could be more sad than this? He thought he could be compared with the Skeleton Baron, but in fact, he was not even qualified to carry his shoes. In front of the Baron, he will always be a sad little person.
The sound of gunfire came louder and louder, seeming to show off Germany's imminent victory. And the calls from the front line came to his headquarters one after another, and the situation became critical almost in the blink of an eye.
Brigadier General Dubey has already asked Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland for instructions, but the Commander-in-Chief is probably at a loss as to what to do except letting him continue to hold on. £® £® £® £® £® Brigadier General Dube knew that everything was in chaos, starting from himself and all the way to the Allied General Headquarters. £® £® £® £® £®
Failure beckons to the Allies not far away. £® £® £® £® £®
After the German-centered coalition landed in L¨¹beck on July 2, the Ernst Cluster suddenly strengthened its offensive. With waves of attacks, Hanover soon became a page in the vast ocean. In a flat boat, there is a danger of silence anytime and anywhere.
Dolby tried his best not to sink his ship, but it was clear that he had a better solution by now.
"General, are we about to lose?" his adjutant, Major Howell, asked cautiously.
"Yes, I think we are about to fail" Dubi did not hide anything: "When the enemy retakes L¨¹beck, any battle will no longer be meaningful. Major, do you think we are like Are you a fool? Being played by the enemy like a puppet, but you think you are about to see victory."
Major Howell nodded involuntarily. £® £® £® £® £® Yes, no matter how you look at it, the Allied commanders have become a bunch of fools.
"What else can we do?" Major Howell sighed: "We didn't receive the order to retreat, so we can only stay here, and I think the enemy will probably appear in front of us soon. ?¡±
"An enemy will soon appear in front of us" Dolby also sighed heavily: "But at least one thing is lucky. Although the Skeleton Baron is a terrible enemy, he is also a Gentleman. At least he won't hurt you after you surrender. But Major, are you ready to be a prisoner of war?"
Major, are you ready to be a prisoner of war?
When this question was asked, Major Howell had no idea how to answer it. £® £® £® £® £®
Although the major has not thought about this yet, a large number of prisoners have begun to appear on the battlefield. The first to surrender were the Australian soldiers who had just arrived in Hanover.
You know, if the battle goes well, they will be very brave, but if the war takes a major turn, their mentality will inevitably fluctuate.
They don¡¯t want to all die here. £® £® £® £® £®
The Germans received a large number of prisoners. They did not even have time to manage these prisoners. They only temporarily set up some prisoner of war camps on the battlefield and allowed the prisoners to go in by themselves.
??And this also allowed wonderful things to happen.
There are no people standing guard outside the so-called prisoner-of-war camp. Those prisoners-of-war can easily leave, but few people do so.
"The last gentleman" Marshal Ernst Brahm's actions on the battlefield have been known to everyone. They know that although they are prisoners, at least their lives are safe. And once you leave here, God knows you will be hit by a stray bullet.
So, they stayed in such a "safe house" honestly. £® £® £® £® £®
This has had a series of impacts. More and more people are beginning to follow their example. Many people do not even need to see the enemy.He quickly found the prisoner of war camp and became one of the prisoners of war.
It makes people laugh or cry, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually not funny at all. £® £® £® £® £® What is more important than life in this world?
On July 3, the German and British forces had already entered Hanover, and a large number of Australian soldiers surrendered, but most of the 7th Marine Brigade of the U.S. Marine Corps continued to fight.
"Compared to the Australians, they are much more loyal to Brigadier General Dube. They are never willing to lay down their weapons without receiving orders or before they are completely desperate.
The battle in Hanover was still fierce, but at this time something happened that troubled Brigadier General Doby the most, and actually the Americans the most:
The German people in Hannover, like ordinary Germans in all occupied cities, rose up to resist! This scene has been played out countless times during the Ernst cluster's advance. £® £® £® £® £®
When Field Marshal Ernst Brahm entered Hanover, it was already the evening of July 3. One-third of the city was in the hands of the German and British troops, and the pace of controlling the entire city began to accelerate. .
"I'm very happy to hear your report!" Wang Weiyi told his subordinates calmly: "Colonel Kolker, did your tank assault group suffer heavy casualties?"
"Yes, Marshal, the casualties are still relatively large." Colonel Kolker did not hide anything in front of the Marshal: "But compared with the results we have achieved, we can completely tolerate such casualties."
"Very good, what I need is your spirit." Wang Weiyi nodded approvingly: "But I see that the enemy is still resisting tenaciously. If you can continue to bring me good things when the sun rises tomorrow, Message, I think I¡¯ll thank you very much.¡±
"I will do it, Marshal!" When Colonel Kolker was about to leave, something suddenly occurred to him: "Marshal, you once promised me that you would personally wear the Iron Cross for me!"
Wang Weiyi also remembered his promise. He took off the Iron Cross he had been wearing, and then solemnly put it on Colonel Kolker's military uniform.
For a moment, a fanatical look appeared in Colonel Kolker's eyes. £® £® £® £® £®
After the end of World War II, the issuance of the German Medal has been very rare, especially in recent years. No one has even won the Iron Cross. Then, one was worn on the recent military uniform. What's more important is that this was awarded to him by Baron Alexon himself!
Fight for him¡ªdie for him!
At this time, Colonel Kolker suddenly remembered this sentence that was circulated among the German army. £® £® £® £® £®
The commander¡¯s fanatical mood will always be transmitted to his subordinates. The Kolk tank assault group, which has been fighting on the front line since the beginning of the battle, rejoined the attack like a group of lunatics.
On their two wings were the soldiers of the Grossdeutschland and the British Army. They were not impatient in urban warfare, but cleared the enemy's obstacles bit by bit and stabilized the controlled area bit by bit.
In the brutal battle, those British soldiers who had only been on the battlefield for a short time were also growing rapidly.
But the US military positions were lost inch by inch. They kept retreating and shrinking their positions, but they were never able to stop the enemy's advance.
Late at night on July 3, a nightmarish news plunged Brigadier General Dolby, who was already on pins and needles, even further into despair:
A German commando team raided the Allied military airfield in Hannover and captured the ground crew and numerous aircraft there.
God, what could be more terrifying than this? The airport fell into the hands of the Germans, and now Brigadier General Duby's retreat route was completely blocked.
He thought this was a tragedy, a real tragedy, and now he had to face the fact that the most terrible thing was about to happen.
The loyal Major Howell has always been with him. Although he doesn't know how to comfort the brigadier general, being able to be by his side can at least fulfill the responsibilities of an adjutant.
"How's the street fighting going, Major?" Brigadier General Dolby asked reluctantly.
"The situation is not particularly optimistic." Major Howell said matter-of-factly: "We lack experience in street fighting defense, and the enemy's offensive is too fierce, so I think it will be difficult for us to continue to persist."
Brigadier General Dolby nodded, and then suddenly said: "Do you know a person? This person was born in Virginia. He performed outstandingly in the Mexican-American War and suppressed John Brown's armed riots in 1859. He played an important role in the North and South of the United States.During the war, he was the commander-in-chief of the Confederacy. In the Civil War, he won great victories at the battles of Bull Creek, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville, and his name is remembered by all Americans. "
"You're talking about General Robert Lee, right?" Major Howell guessed it immediately.
Brigadier General Dolby said expressionlessly: "Yes, General Robert Lee, a great general in American history. After the Confederate army was exhausted from months of battles, a federal army successfully defeated Captured Petersburg on April 2, 1865. General Lee gave up the defense of Richmond and attempted to join forces with General Joseph Johnson's troops in North Carolina. In 1865, his headquarters was besieged by the Union Army. Surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, several of his subordinates proposed refusing to surrender in order to allow some small units to infiltrate outside the encirclement and enter the mountains to engage in long-term guerrilla warfare. After the war, General Lee refused. He applied to the official for post-war amnesty, but was never granted. After the application was submitted, it was submitted to the desk of Secretary of State William Henry Seward. He thought it was a copy submitted by someone else after the matter was completed and filed it away. It was discovered again in his drawer ten years later that the government reserved legal action.¡±
Having said this, he was silent for a moment: "General Lee's application for amnesty set an example and encouraged many former officers and soldiers of the Confederate States of America to accept becoming citizens of the United States of America again. He failed, and he surrendered, but this did not prevent him from becoming a citizen of the United States of America. A great person that Americans respect."
Major Howell immediately understood what the Brigadier General meant: "Are you ready to give up the fight too?"
There was some bitterness in Brigadier General Dolby's words: "Yes, I think I am also ready to surrender. The battle is over, at least our battle is over. I don't expect to become a great figure like General Lee, but at least I don't I am willing to let my soldiers lose their lives in the war in vain.¡±
Major Howell nodded silently, who is willing to die?
Brigadier General Duby answered the phone with the Allied General Headquarters: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, there is no hope for Hanover anymore. We are rapidly losing. For the lives of the remaining soldiers, I will order everyone to lay down their weapons and surrender." .Yes, the responsibility for this will be mine. Thank you for your understanding and good luck to you and the Allies!"
Then he put down the phone, slowly turned his head and said: "Then let this terrible thing end now!" (To be continued.
