In the evening, Stuttgart was dull and smoke was swept by the storm. The collapsed buildings, damaged vehicles, and the remains of the dead in different postures formed a tragic scene on earth. The sunset shone on the broken walls and set off a cold and sad tone. It seemed that the continuous sound of gunfire gradually weakened, but the battle did not calm down. In some corners of the city, the insurrectionists relied on buildings and underground facilities to resist stubbornly. The attackers sent cannons, machine guns, snipers, blasting teams and fire-breaking soldiers without rushing to clean up these stubborn resisters one by one, patiently and meticulously, just like dealing with a chicken that had cut its throat and blood. Although it was troublesome to pluck the hair, it was only a matter of time to taste the delicious food.

On the battlefield, the effect of both soft and hard is often better than one-way breakthrough. Soviet political workers set up loudspeakers everywhere in the city and used Russian German to persuade the remaining insurrectionists to give up resistance. The echoing sound made people feel that the city suddenly became empty and had nothing. In fact, the Golden Five-Star Red Flag (Soviet Army Flag) that surged with the attacking crowds had already stood in most areas of the city, with only the Opera House, the last few blocks where the King's Building was located and some subway tunnels in the city were still controlled by the insurrectionists.

In a basement near the entrance of the second entrance to Stuttgart Opera House Metro Station, Lynn looked at the crimson sunset in the sky through the small exhaust window. Before the cruel and tragic battle began, he was confident in his persistence in his goal for a day and night. After these eleven hours of battle, his ideas had changed a lot. In the past, whether it was the battle at the end of World War II, the battle in the cold northern part of the Nordic region or the difficult defense in the Upper Rhine Valley in the previous stage, they all

It was completed by well-trained combatants. Here, civilian insurrections accounted for the majority. Their patriotic enthusiasm could neither act as weapons to resist Soviet attacks nor protect themselves in the fire of war. In many cases, unnecessary sacrifices were of no help to the situation, but instead affected the judgment of the Imperial** and the Free Corps fighters to a certain extent. Twenty thousand civilians who hurriedly picked up their weapons may not be as good as two thousand new recruits who had received complete training on the battlefield!

At this point, disappointment did not help change the predicament. Eliminating the option of surrender, the two paths left for Lynn were to stick to and break through. For those sacrificed companions, the many efforts he made, and the great hope of the next dawn, he resolutely decided to lead the remaining soldiers to continue fighting, even if the elite of the Free Corps he brought along would be exhausted in Stuttgart.

After deciding to stay or leave, a qualified commander should calmly examine the status quo and consider the next move. At present, many uprisingers are still scattered everywhere in the city. They either defend with firmness or avoid the enemy's edge. Although Lin En did not know the specific number of remaining personnel, he speculated from the outside that the uprising power was less than 4,000, and no more than 1,000 could adapt to high-intensity combat. Faced with tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers with front-line combat experience, these remnants should not only have the courage to put them to death before they can survive. They should also have the wisdom and skills to use weak enemy strong!

As night fell, the world outside the window did not turn into a chaos, and a large area of ​​city was reflected by fire. It can be imagined that the Soviet fire-breathing tanks and infantry carrying flamethrowing equipment were cleaning up the houses and underground spaces where the rebels were hiding one by one, and the dazzling flames would be an unprecedented test for the rebels' will. Faced with the fire attack tactics of modern battlefields, conventional defensive measures were no longer helpful. Lin En ordered the soldiers who were standing at the subway entrance to retreat to the ground and used ** to collapse those eye-catching imports. Only some hidden passages were left, and several defenses were laid along the subway tunnels and underground stations to ambush positions. The biggest advantage of the rebels at this time was to master the detailed structural drawings of the Stuttgart subway and drainage system. The possibility of the Soviets obtaining these materials in a hasty manner was much smaller.

The rumbling explosion echoed in the subway tunnel, and the underground space was filled with smoke and dust. Without verbal transmission, the insurrectionists had already understood the situation of fighting against the water. If you want to persist in the face of the powerful Soviet army, it is not enough to defend yourself by yourself. "Occurrence is the best defense", this is Lin Neng's usual creed. For urban defense wars, in addition to the information obtained from TV documentaries, war history materials and various analytical inferences in the past, Berlin, who has personally participated in it.

The battle was undoubtedly his main reference rebate. After some deduction, Lin En made arrangements and adjustments in the matter: the insurrectionists with weak combat power and the wounded with mobility were stuck in the subway tunnel, and the soldiers in good health were drawn out to form a night combat team, allowing them to cross the Soviet front along the urban subway system and sewers, attacking the Soviet army personnel, materials, commands, and medical facilities on the edge of the urban area, and restraining the attack of the main Soviet troops in the central urban area.

Completely installed, marshalled, and ready to go. Lynn conveyed his determination to fight to his tenacious subordinates through these simple instructions. In the subway tunnel where the power supply was lost, ordinary soldiers of the Free Corps prepared for war with the night warriors. They concentrated on equipping automatic weapons suitable for melee combat and put the ammunition they could collect into the bag. As long as the officers were able to fight, they would be incorporated into the combat force regardless of the level of the military rank. Lynn himself would also join this dangerous night war...

Holding the night vision device battery, Lynn felt that it was heavier than in his memory. The assault rifle equipped with infrared sights felt cold and unfamiliar. Over the years, his courage had not declined, and the realm of unity of man and gun gradually drifted away, but none of these matters. What was important was that he found his faith on the road to Nirvana of Jedi, and the strength of the empire that had fallen into the abyss in the past was moving forward firmly along the path of revival he outlined - only a few steps away from the world under the sun!

Before attacking, Lynn summoned the commanders of each combat group. These people were all members of the Imperial Guards without exception, and there was no doubt that their will and beliefs were firm.

"Everyone, maybe tonight is the last battle in our lives. No matter what the winner is, I hope everyone can show the spirit of the emperor, so that the invaders who occupy our motherland and oppress our people can see our indomitable spirit and our fighting spirit, so that they will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts; no matter what the result is, we are all proud of the empire, and the empire will be proud of us!"

After saying that, Lynn raised his right fist, wearing black leather gloves and clenched tightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Long live the empire!"

The 19 combat teams, 19 commanders, different ages, different figures, and the perseverance in their eyes is so similar. "Long live the empire", these powerful shouts gathered together, and everyone who heard them felt their blood boiling!

According to the Soviet army's offensive input during the day, Lin En sent a targeted combat team - the troops heading to the south of the city strive to find and attack the Soviet command; the combat team heading to the north of the city strives to meet with the resisters on the periphery and use their strength to expand the harassing combat efforts; the combat team heading to the east and west of the city adopts a mobile tactic of running with one strike, so that the Soviet troops cannot take into account both the head and tail.

After these 19 combat groups, the 20th combat group was commanded by Linn himself, with one adjutant, two night combat soldiers, 23 free corps soldiers, two sets of night combat equipment, 12 assault rifles, 13 submachine guns, 2 anti-tank rocket launchers, and 14 ****. Such a streamlined and powerful combat team was presented before his eyes, and the tired but firm faces made Linn both relieved and disappointed. He vaguely saw those faces that he had never forgotten, Alfred Flins, Love Brück, Gantt Jonas, Anton Graf... Under the setting sun of the empire, these simple and brave German soldiers fell on the battlefield one by one. Times have passed, and the battlefield in front of him is still so cruel and ruthless. Among the soldiers who set out to fight, many people are destined to never return to this starting point.

Putting aside the contradictions and hesitation in his heart, Lynn led the combat team into the dark subway tunnel. Since the Soviet army had successfully seized some subway stations in the previous battle, they only walked south for less than two kilometers and had to go to the connecting passage to the sewer. In Lynn's view, there is no essential difference between the sewers in the two cities of Stuttgart and Berlin. They are also wet, dirty, complex, and huge, like the legendary underground maze. Fortunately, Lynn died when the uprising was launched.

People found all the urban planning information. With the guidance of the drawings and compass, they only spent some more effort when bypassing the road damaged by artillery fire. More than three hours later, the combat team returned to the block still under the control of the uprisingers at noon that day, which was the rear of the Soviet combat troops at this time. In this newly occupied city, the Soviet officers and soldiers did not dare to slack off. They deployed tanks, armored vehicles and machine guns at every intersection and important area. This environment made the forest

En naturally remembered the scene of breaking through at Oranin Fort in 1945. At that time, the night assault tactics launched with infrared night vision instruments barely offset the overall advantage of Soviet tanks. Four years have passed, and although the Soviet army has not put into production in batches and equipped with the same type of night vision equipment, Lin En knew that in order to fight against the night war forces of the Western Allied forces, they adopted a practical and affordable countermeasure - to manufacture infrared detectors. This simple-structured equipment cannot be precise.

Positioning infrared light sources, but as long as it is determined that there is an active infrared emitter around it, the Soviet troops will quickly mobilize firepower to suppress and destroy, causing the opponent's night attack to suddenly become vanished. In addition, the captured American night vision instrument has also become a common equipment for the Soviet troops, which means that Lin Neng and his soldiers are likely to encounter the opponent's dark night hunter in the proud night assault battle, just like a sniper battle in the black forest, and the outcome is determined in an instant.
