Chapter 15 Open up the second battlefield
Fearing from the diplomatic pressure built on strong military strength by the Soviet government, Swiss Masamu reiterated that he would detain foreign armed personnel who entered his country without authorization. In this way, Lynn and his battle-hardened troops gave up the idea of using Switzerland. Under the cover of the Allied forces, they took a canned train through the heart of Italy, from Modana to France, headed north along the southeastern and eastern France railway lines, and crossed the border from Breissat to Germany's Baden-Württemberg. From Bregenz down the Rhine River, they only walked thousands of kilometers away.
Although the long journey was hard, he finally returned to the land of his motherland. The soldiers of Linn could not see the negative effects of fatigue. After the consumption of the three battles of the Rhine Valley, the original 5,000 Free Corps was only 1,000. Then, the wounded men who stayed in northern Italy to recuperate, had only 726 officers and soldiers who followed Linn here, and all the heavy weapons, including the mountain assault vehicles, were left to the 1st Expeditionary Corps of the Empire, which replaced them to defend the Rhine Valley. This was true.
En was still full of confidence in the prospects of this trip. With the support of local Bashang members, they passed through the open river valley overnight and entered the famous Black Forest, the largest forest mountain range in Germany. The countless pine trees and fir trees made this area look dark. Due to the demand for fuel for industrial development and agricultural development, the black forest vegetation covers at this time was only one-tenth of that in the Roman era, but the complex terrain of mountains and lakes was still very suitable for small-scale guerrilla warfare.
When he came to this fairy tale forest, Linn was not in a hurry to launch an attack on the nearby Soviet targets. The fourth battle to the Rhine Valley had just ended with the victory of the imperial team. The powerful Manstein Corps had no urgent need for the response to the periphery. So Linn took his staff to personally observe and survey the topography of the Black Forest, planned tactical strategies for the subsequent combat operations, and contacted the surrounding Baath Party Free Group and other resistance armed forces that resisted the Soviet occupation. After half a month of preparation, all the conditions required for the operation were basically realized. Linn resolutely raised the torch to light the first fire that was steeping...
Freiburg Germany's oldest, warmest and sunniest city was severely damaged during World War II. With the joint efforts of more than 100,000 citizens, beautiful buildings were restocked from the ruins of the war, and the neat streets and pleasant environment once again became the pride of the Freiburg people. After the allies and the Soviet Union signed a pupil agreement, the Soviet army occupied the place openly and built a military fortress overlooking the river valley to the east of the city. The agreement to withdraw troops from Germany in a comprehensive manner
The time limit has been passed, but the Soviet officers and soldiers of the two battalions are still firmly stationed here. The fully armed patrol team appears on the streets of Freiburg every day. The gunshots that changed this situation sounded on March 7, 1949. Lynn personally commanded a 35-man night battle commando and nearly a hundred support troops to attack the Soviet fortress. This battle, which was not large in size, was later named "epic" prefixed - the three night battle soldiers fully showed this night.
They were as clever and sharp as vampires. After using blasting methods to blow up the door, they rushed into the military fortress with fearless aura, which was stationed by more than 800 Soviet officers and soldiers. Although it was late at night, there were still dozens of Soviet sentries carrying guns and ammunition in the fortress, and the barracks of officers and soldiers were distributed throughout the fortress, and no firepower point could fully control these barracks. In an environment that was almost street fighting, the night warriors were five
For a combat team, they used the technical and tactical advantages brought by infrared night vision instruments to launch a quick attack. The dense sound of assault rifles and submachine guns lasted from the beginning of the battle until the last moment. Due to their unfamiliarity with the internal structure of the fortress, the night war soldiers used flamethrowers to replace the grenade offensive that was indispensable in the previous night wars. 7 sets of Soviet-made fire-breathing equipment caused at least 300 Soviet officers and soldiers to suffer casualties on this night, which was the worst barbecue activity.
In this battle, Lin En, who was responsible for command, did not rush to the front line with a double gun with a double gun on the fortress. He led his personal guards to wait for the rabbit at the south gate of the fortress, and easily used a g42 machine gun to clean up several groups of Soviet troops. Before the battle to clear the fortress was over, the soldiers of the Free Corps had already occupied the city of Freiburg, released the resisters, demonstrators and other personnel detained by the Soviet army, and distributed the food and supplies hoarded by the Soviet army to local citizens.
Despite being fatal deterred by the ** and flamethrowers, the last batch of Soviet infantry in the military fortress knew that there was no hope of resistance but was still holding on, which forced Linn to order further destroy the fortress that still had military value. Fortunately, the violent explosion did not ignite the arms and ammunition in the underground warehouse. Through this battle with minimal casualties, Linn's troops seized more than a thousand Soviet-made guns, thirty mortars and light artillery pieces, plus piles of guns and shells. The acquisition of these spoils allowed Linn to avoid worrying about the supplies for combat for a long time. He immediately ordered the soldiers to transport weapons and ammunition to secret material storage points in various places in the Black Forest.
At dawn, a team of soldiers from the Free Corps held a solemn flag-raising ceremony in front of the municipal building in Freiburg. On this sunless morning, the red flag of the Liberty Empire's black-circle cross battle flag appeared publicly for the first time over the city of Germany. In addition to replacing the 10,000-character emblem with traditional iron cross symbols, the battle flag was exactly the same as the flag of the Third Reich. At a glance, it can give people a strong hint. The citizens of Freiburg who witnessed the flag-raising ceremony were silent. From their complex emotions, they can see the love-hate entanglement of ordinary people for the return of the empire. The Third Reich once brought them glory and glory, and also brought them fear and destruction. After experiencing the occupation notices of the Allies and the Soviet Union, they both disappeared and were afraid of relive that time.
Lynn could understand the mood of ordinary German people, and the structure and terrain of Freiburg were not as good as Salzburg for defense. In addition to sending a guard team to stay in the Soviet fortress, Lynn quickly led his main force into the Black Forest Mountains, which were more than 100 kilometers long from north to south and sixty kilometers widest from east to west. Just a few hours after they withdrew, the Soviet mobile troops composed of tanks, armored vehicles and troop trucks arrived in Freiburg. After careful combat reconnaissance,
They entered the city before dusk and reoccupied the town. The people of Freiburg had to accept two completely different red flags rising above their heads on the same day. Then, fierce gunfire and explosions echoed again in the fortress east of the city. With full preparation, the guards used the defense of the military fortress to hold on until the second half of the night. If the previous blast had not destroyed its complete structure, the Soviet army would have to pay a greater price to retake it.
From Lynn leading troops to attack the Soviet fortress to the evacuation of the last freedom fighter, the last time before and after the Battle of Freiburg was only 30 hours, but the news of the resurrection of the empire was like lightning that broke through the dark night. Soon the whole of Germany learned about this shocking news. Three years and nine months, more than one thousand three hundred days and nights, and speculations and rumors one day became a reality that was within reach, and people were a little overwhelmed. The German puppet government supported by the Soviet Union immediately issued a statement and announcement, announcing a small group of former Third Reich remnants in western Germany in western Germany.
The failed armed coup was launched in a failed armed coup. The righteous people in Germany would never allow this situation that violated the historical trend to worsen. According to the military mutual assistance agreement signed by the German government and the Soviet Union, the Soviet army will assist the German government in a limited manner to eliminate this group of desperadoes. In order to prove that the German people are on the stance of justice, the Berlin government has also organized citizen marchs in many places. The number of people participating in the march is far less than the previous demonstrations that protested against the Soviet Union's delay in withdrawal. Most German people still chose to look at the government's call from behind the window.
Statements, announcements, parades, oaths, and means that can influence the people's position were used. The troops controlled by the German puppet government just put on tweezing to gather in the Black Forest area. The trembling leaders knew the spirit of this German team very well. Sending them to wipe out ordinary resisters was inefficient. Dealing with the resistance armed forces with the background of the Third Reich was simply to provide weapons to the other side. Really, they had to fight the Soviet army that was invincible all over Europe. Soon, a large number of Soviet troops rushed to the Black Forest area from strategic strongholds such as Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. The resistance's destruction of bridges, railways and other transportation facilities could no longer significantly delay their advance. On the fourth day after the Battle of Freiburg, the Soviet 180th Infantry Division and
The 97th Infantry Division entered the Black Forest from Freiburg and Frenbach respectively. Two troops of uniform troops walked towards each other and met with St. Peter's town in the middle of the mountain two days later through step-by-step advancement. Several other Soviet troops also launched operations in similar ways, intending to cut the Black Forest Mountains into several disconnected parts, thereby compressing the opponent's guerrilla space☆ In the first few days, the Wurttemberg area was mainly cloudy and clear weather, and Lynn's troops completely disappeared into the dense forest. After completing the preliminary deployment, the Soviet army couldn't wait to announce that the encirclement and suppression operation had achieved phased victory. The regular troops of more than a dozen divisions were used to deal with more than a thousand imperial remnants, and the propaganda agencies of the Berlin government were busy shaking flags and shouting.
During the same period, the Soviet government threatened military operations, forcing the Italian government to announce the blockade of the northern border between Italy and Austria to cut off the "rioters" in Austria to obtain personnel and equipment support from Italy through smuggling channels. The French government was also prepared to make the same guarantee under the aggressive diplomatic pressure of the Soviet Union. Once a government order is issued, even if the secret supply is maintained, the scale and timeliness will inevitably be greatly affected.
