Chapter 95 Su-style flash attack

In the spring of 1948, in the Lviv region of western Ukraine.

Before dawn came, darkness enveloped the earth, and the open fields were filled with a vigorous breath of life. The Soviet officers and soldiers who were ready to go crouched in the interlaced trenches. These young faces were nervous, nervous, and expectant, but without fear and despair. After a long winter rest, the equipment supply situation of the Soviet army had been greatly improved. In addition, the intensity of the strategic bombing of the Allies was greatly weakened, the war situation and international public opinion continued to develop in a direction conducive to the Soviet Union. The confidence and morale of the Soviet military and civilians gradually rebounded. Under the call and encouragement of the military and political leaders, everyone yearned for a decisive victory to end this profound suffering experience.

In the wide border area, with the rising of several red signal flares, the suppressed silence was instantly broken by the rolling thunder. Countless heavy howitzers and rocket launchers made the night sky extremely gorgeous. Meteors across the sky cross the sky, and the far end of the horizon instantly turned into a red purgatory, and the earth was trembling constantly. Unconsciously, the night gradually faded, the light quietly came, the artillery fire was still roaring, and another completely different roar came from the air. Soviet fighter jets painted in light white were one echelon after another from the position.

Flying by in the air, from proven fighter jets, attack aircraft to new jet fighters, from light and flexible light bombers to strong twin-engine bombers, MiG, Lavokin, Tupolev, Sukhoi, Soviet aviation designers competed to contribute better performance improvements and brand new models. Under the bombing of the Allies day and night, under the destruction of hundreds of thousands of tons of high-explosion ** and incendiary bombs, the Soviet Air Force did not decline as speculated by the outside world, and this was the best manifestation of the Soviet people's tenacious and unyielding spirit!

The aircraft flew majestic toward the opposite side of the front line, and the tremor on the ground was also increasing. The tank cluster that had been ready to go drove out from the hidden woods and air defense bunkers. Under the hazy light, the array they formed was vast and endless. The t-3485 is still the backbone of this steel torrent and the war vehicle model that the Soviet military industry concentrated and fully produced. There are only heavy weapons in the Allied camp, dense mine arrays and forces from the air can stop them from moving forward; isu

-76122 is the main fire support weapon retained by the Soviet armored troops in the confrontation with the Western camp. Further simplification of production and large-scale manufacturing have enabled them to maintain a high output during the most difficult stage of energy materials. Therefore, medium-sized tanks and medium-sized assault guns have become the basic style of the Soviet armored troops in front of them. Although it seems very monotonous compared to the various types of tanks and combat vehicles during World War II, this is undoubtedly very suitable for the existing conditions and tactical style of the Soviet army.

In this era of rapid development of aviation technology and continuous improvement in performance of tanks, various battles under positional defense and bad weather conditions have proved with ironclad facts that infantry is still the absolute backbone of the battlefield. When sharp whistles sounded in the trenches, the fierce competition officially started. The infantry moving along the traffic trenches were like streams, but there were no larger rivers here. They directly merged into the trenches at the forefront, stepped on wooden ladders, set up frames, and crawled out before them. What appeared in front of them was a 3-5 kilometers wide area covered with mines and traps. Although there were tanks and engineers equipped with mine-de-destroying shovels, this section of the road was still extremely difficult for the Soviet infantry.

In the winter before this, the Soviet army was replenishing its strength, and the Allies were actively adjusting their deployment. The eastern Polish defense line was reinforced and extended south to Slovakia and Hungary, thus forming a defense belt that stretched for thousands of kilometers, using mountains, rivers, trenches and reinforced concrete fortifications to block the powerful Soviet army. From this point of view, the Soviet army had to pay a heavy price to open a breakthrough on this solid defense line, but the changes within the Allies had caused the change.

Giving the opponent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the German team that surrendered not only shook the heart of the alliance, but also brought about the deployment of the Allied front. In addition, the Soviet army had previously contacted several German troops. Taking advantage of the Allied forces' hurriedly replacing the German army with troops from other countries, the Soviets bit the weak point of the defense line, and also received responses from some German officers and soldiers who were intending to leave the Allied camp to go to the Free Empire. Such a tough battle had twice the result with half the effort!

Directly opposite the Lviv area, the Allied forces deployed a total of 9 divisions and several ** troops, of which the German defense army had 14 infantry regiments with more than 40,000 people. They were originally responsible for guarding the defense line of about 23 kilometers and the corresponding deep system. After the collective defection of the 115th Infantry Regiment, the US troops in the same area took over the German defense zone and also drew some troops from the rear reserve troops to supplement it. After the battle started, one and a half divisions of US officers and soldiers suddenly faced the fierce attack of six Soviet divisions and a large number of tank troops on this relatively unfamiliar defense line. They lost the front line of positions in just three hours. Around noon, the second line of defense was also declared lost. The US troops on the front line were defeated, but the US commanders in the area continued to use three regiments with complete combat power to monitor the German troops, while the German troops were not ordered

Under the circumstances, the 50,000 troops did not play any role in the most critical battle. When the Soviet army broke through the front position, the T-34 tank group swarmed with infantry, and the well-designed deep defense was useless. A large number of US troops suffered heavy blows during the retreat. Nine of the 14 German infantry regiments chose to surrender to the Soviet army collectively. The other five infantry regiments did not stay to resist the Soviet attack on the spot, but retreated to the rear under the control of the commander. In one day, the Lviv region became the largest hole in the Allied "steel line". In the swamp area at the border between Lithuania and Belarus, the Soviet offensive troops, dominated by infantry, also took advantage of the similar chaos to break through the Allied defense. More than 60,000 German officers and soldiers retreated without fighting, causing the Allied troops to fall into a passive state.

At this time, in Germany, the second post-war election had begun, and people's attention suddenly changed from votes to Eastern Europe. The fierce Soviet offensive and the rapid retreat of the Allied forces were all astonishing. At the end of World War II and the days when World War II just ended, the violence and indulgence of the Soviet army in the German-occupied areas still made the Germans feel both resentful and fearful. They also removed a large amount of available equipment like locusts, causing the German industry to be hit by a complete blow than the strategic bombing of the Allied forces. Therefore, in the eyes of the Germans, the United States, Britain, France and Poland, who were stationed in Germany in the name of victorious countries and were rampant, but it was not as terrible as the Soviets. In the past two years, as long as the Soviet army won the battle on the battlefield, the Germans would inevitably be as panic as Poland and France, fearing that the Soviet Red Army would not even be able to survive the hard life.

At present, the Allies on the battlefield in Eastern Europe seem to be in danger. What should I do? In the end, the only one who can rely on is its own army!

The Defense Army should have made the defense of the country the only main business, not to mention that on the Eastern European front, they were just gunmen by allies. The slogan of "withdrawal of troops and returning to the country" was shouted through the media, and the German people should follow the trend. The voting continued. People took advantage of the situation and gathered parades outside the voting site, requiring the national military and political leaders to withdraw the German team from the front line, and use the "national defense line" in eastern Germany to resist all vicious enemies. When the defense line was built, the German public was the main force. Now they need to repair and strengthen, and the people can work without asking for compensation!

On the one hand, tens of millions of German people who were angry and expected, and on the other hand, allies who were still stationed in Germany and could exert heavy pressure through political and economic means. The pressure of decision fell on President Hoff Helsten and the heads of the defense army. As the people wished, more than one million German defense forces withdrew from the front line, which was tantamount to the Allied front line, which was tantamount to the bottom of the pot, and even led to a complete collapse of the combat situation against the Soviet Union. At the request of the Allied Army, reliable generals were dispatched to command the front line to move to the central and eastern Poland defense line to block the Soviet army, and more mutiny and defection were likely to occur, causing the German government to be trapped inside and outside. During the hesitation, the battlefield situation changed three times a day. After repeated hard battles, the Allied Army became a member of the sky.

The merits blocked the Soviet aviation offensive, but the loopholes in the land front could no longer be compensated. The heavy Soviet troops pouring in from Lviv and other areas followed the essence of the German blitzkrieg war and quickly circled around the Allied "steel defense line" with mechanized troops. Within a few days, many Allied troops had already been dumped in the defense line area due to insufficient retreat. Within thirsty lessons from the Baltic countries and Belarus, the Allied forces had avoided the large-scale use of airborne troops when fighting the Soviet army, so they only dropped a small amount of air-dropping supplies to these trapped troops. After all, in the defense line area with a well-defensive system, the reserve of ammunition and drug resources is still relatively abundant. The key to the battlefield lies in the command of the generals and the morale of the army.

Since the Eastern European war ended in the autumn of 1947, all the Allied forces were shocked and feared by the powerful combat power that broke out in the adversity of the Soviet army. Although Marshall, who had already retired, was transferred from the United States, and rewarded and punished the officers and soldiers with his performance on the battlefield, and recruited millions of German troops to fill the gap in the military force caused by the early combat, Marshall died in the Netherlands. MacArthur, who had taken office in a hurry, was familiar with Asia and Europe, and was also a famous and capable category in military command. When the ice and snow melted

The Allied steel defense lines were still being adjusted and reinforced with great fanfare, but as soon as the battle ended, it was vulnerable. The frontier positions with the most complete facilities in the front and two or three deep defense lines were lost one after another. In addition to being cut off by the Soviet army, the US, British, French, Polish and German teams all avoided the enemy's edge and retreated slowly. While delaying the opponent, their air forces were allowed to suck the fighting spirit and combat power of the Soviet troops on their march. Finally, they organized a defensive battle to turn defeat into victory in the pre-development-the defense line in central and eastern Poland.

Although the allies' European headquarters are good, the coalition forces of many countries have always had their own thoughts, and this withdrawal has led to great trouble.
