Under the heavy night, the expressway extending from Berlin to the Bay of Stockings was like a spreading tape. Although it was bent in the middle, it was much straighter than ordinary roads. In order to delay the Soviet attack, the German army had blown up the bridge on its own, but this did not stop the prepared Soviet army. Obviously, it learned from the anti-guerrilla warfare during the early occupation of Germany. The high-speed advancement Soviet mechanized troops were equipped with a large number of engineering vehicles and bridge-building equipment. It only took more than ten minutes to build a bridge on a river seven or eight meters wide. As for those originally built in gullies, the dry bridges on the valley were even less worrying. Soviet armored vehicles with excellent off-road capabilities could pass by only a little more effort. If no unexpected situation occurred, the elite Soviet North Wing Corps would soon be able to advance into the city of Berlin.

The chirping of insects in summer gives the fields a vigorous vitality, and the dense vegetation cycle purifies the air. Before such a thrilling raid started, they obscured the low roar of the attacking chariots to a certain extent. The 5** tank companies and 9 fully equipped war companies of the Imperial Guards' 1st armored cluster rushed into the highway area about 20 kilometers northeast of Wandlitz after a long distance. The officers and soldiers moved forward calmly under the pressure of instinct until they were discovered by the Soviet post at about 800 meters away. They broke the silence and drove violently.

Fire. Cannon flares flew over the woods like meteors. The instant white light shone the road and the Soviet troops temporarily camping on both sides of the highway had nowhere to hide. The t-54 medium-sized tanks with distinctive appearances were simply iron-sucking stones for the attacking party's artillery fire. These steel tanks that had not yet been launched were hit by shells. Some of the shells exploded and the internal situation was unknown. Some of them were blown up after being hit, while others suddenly exploded. The blazing fireballs burst out, and the instantaneous flames made people dare not look at them.

Against the backdrop of various light sources, German tanks hiding in shape with woods, shrubs and long grass were slowly and orderly advancing to the highway, while German infantry in yellow and green camouflage uniforms lowered their heads and bent over. They walked bravely and fearlessly before their tanks and armored vehicles with assault rifles or anti-tank rocket launchers as weapons. Their actions were not blindly trapped in battle. When the counterattack firepower of the Soviet police forces was not enough to pose a fatal threat, they advanced forward. When most Soviet officers and soldiers reacted to join the battle,

The guns, shells and artillery fire on the battlefield became dense and dangerous, so they no longer moved forward quickly, but showed exquisite and skillful tactical cooperation, forming a "hidden front" in a zone 300 to 400 meters away from the highway. In order to get rid of the dilemma of passive beating, the Soviet army took a consistent tough stance. After the tanks were launched, they launched counterattacks head-on toward the enemy, and attached great importance to the protective cooperation between the vehicles. In this case, the Soviet armored troops, which were attacked but had an advantage in number, were gradually attacked.

The passiveness in the scene gradually changed, and the flame light of the muzzle flashed on the side of the road gradually increased. Moreover, the 100mm rifled gun equipped by the Soviet T-54 tank itself has a clear advantage in firepower. In theory, it can completely overwhelm opponents who still use 75mm guns, but the caliber of the cannon is by no means the only criterion for determining the outcome of the battle. Although the Soviet army launched a fierce counterattack, there were also many flares fired. However, their shells did not really hit several tanks and tanks on the other side. Judging from the situation at this time, Germany

The military tanks quickly narrowed the combat distance without raiding. The t-54 did not jump epoch-making compared to the previous Soviet tanks. Its shooting accuracy is still lackluster. After increasing the caliber of the gun, it increased the loading hand. Moreover, the storage position of ammunition and fuel is still a fatal flaw, which can easily trigger a secondary explosion. The only thing that the Soviets are proud of is its superior suspension system, which allows this seemingly bulky steel tank to cross mountains and hills without any trouble.

As the Soviet counterattack deepened, the T-54 tank continued to move away from the highway. For a short period of time, the flares dropped above the highway caused a backlight effect, which caused the German artillery hit rate to drop significantly. When the Soviet tanks faced each other head-on, the 75mm gun of the Leopard tank seemed a little weak. Armored piercing bombs fired beyond 500 meters were difficult to penetrate the T-54 from the front, especially for its cast turret. The closer combat distance was in turn helpful to the Soviet tanks to improve the accuracy of firepower. However, the development of the battlefield situation was not as expected by the Soviet officers and soldiers.

As a result, their tanks soon encountered new troubles - those German infantry who suddenly entered the center of the battlefield. The tanks were often called natural enemies of infantry. But sometimes the situation would turn around. German infantry holding "iron fist" was waiting for the Soviet tanks to enter a distance of 100 meters. They were using the third generation of the Iron Fist series, which was still traditional visual observation, rocket propulsion, hollow charge, and their armor-breaking depth reached 220 mm, and the flight speed and stability of the bullet body were greatly improved, which means that skilled operators have a higher confidence in hitting the moving target.

Seeing one tank after another being damaged, the Soviet tanks and self-propelled artillery at a distance were trying to use guns and cannons to clean up these difficult German infantry. However, the German infantry formed dozens of anti-tank combat teams were scattered in a large area, constantly changing positions flexibly in combat and avoiding attacks, making it difficult for the Soviet troops responsible for fire support to achieve their own efforts. For the Soviet infantry that coordinated counterattack, the weapons in their hands were unambiguous. mg42 poured out long-term depression with a refreshing sound, mp44

The old enemy's old debt was obtained with a light rhythm, and the long-handled grenade continued the war mission in such a wonderful time and space. In front of the German strict and orderly firepower net, Soviet tanks returned unsuccessfully again and again. Soviet infantry threw their blood and fought fiercely for more than two hours. The obviously dominant side became the victim of this battle. More than 40 T-54 wreckage were left in the fields west of the highway, and more than 20 self-propelled artillery and armored combat vehicles were destroyed. The Soviet army lost transport vehicles and injured people!

With the Soviet war potential, it did not take too long to make up for these losses. However, the vision narrowed to the tactical level. Since the battlefield was at the connection between the 11th Tank Army of the Soviet Guards and the 8th Mechanized Army, the former's rear guard troops suffered a nightmare setback. The commanders of the 11th Army of the 11th Tank Army of the Guards were full of surprise and nervous. They realized that the seemingly weak enemy was launching a premeditated offensive, and their honor-laden troops had become the enemy's target. With the most basic military knowledge and rational analysis, the 11th Tank Army of the 11th Tank Army quickly dispatched its troops to return to the rescue and contacted friendly forces to fight against the enemy together. To the north of the area where the fierce battle occurred, the 8th Mechanized Army of the Soviet Army quickly sent the 49th Tank Brigade to aid friendly forces along the highway.

As a result, this honorary unit that had been through many battles and had broken through multiple German positions and attacked Berlin city was ambushed in the night shortly after leaving. If the ambushers were just the enemy's restraining force, the 49th Guards Tank Brigade, which was mainly equipped with T-34/85 medium tanks, could break through the obstacles at all costs, but they were unexpectedly bombarded by large-caliber howitzers and rocket launchers. The artillery fire turned a two-kilometer section into a sea of ​​fire. The Soviet armored troops who were walking around were in a dilemma due to the opponent's anti-tank mines, had to slow down and clear the obstacles. When they mobilized elite troops to carry out combat counterattacks, they found that the opponent had disappeared without a shadow. It was a pity that the air superiority was unable to play in this bad-looking night, and in the end they could only let time slip away.

The sight turned back to Wandlitz, a small city that was about to become famous overnight. The 22nd Tank Brigade of the 11th Guards Tank Army of the Soviet Army had occupied the place through a fierce but unsuspecting battle. The officers and soldiers were originally planning to rest here for a night and pursue the enemy with the assistance of the Air Force after dawn. However, the news that the attack of the guards on their side made them hurry up and prepare to take the enemy again. As the battle progressed, the increasingly deteriorating situation of the guards on their side surprised them. The command of the army command soon arrived. The brigade commander Colonel Veristov personally led 33 T-54s with more than 100 infantry to the battlefield, and the rest of the troops and the baggage vehicles remained in Wandlitz. In the eyes of the colonel with medals on his chest, as long as the guards on his side continued to restrain the enemy, he led him

The assault troops were able to penetrate the enemy with lightning, and even if the enemy fled after hearing the news, the T-54 equipped with infrared night vision instruments could show their power in the encounter. Villistov never expected that his troops would enter the new minefield set up by the enemy overnight less than five kilometers away from Wanderlitz. Amid the thunder-like thunder, the T-54 tanks that were blown off were like strongmen with brute force but could not be used, and could only lie on the spot and be slaughtered by the enemy. The Soviet tank soldiers who ventured out of the car for repairs were almost shot and killed without exception. The enemy's precise shooting in the night battle reminded some Soviet veterans of their encounter five years ago. In the cold eastern battlefield, countless companions died in the night attack and fell on the last road to victory...

The brave ones won when they met in the bottom lane. The tenacious Soviets chose the former without hesitation between advancing and retreating. Villistov hoped that the minefields that the Germans had hurriedly deployed could only cause limited damage to his troops. However, the more they moved forward, more and more tanks were paralyzed in the middle lightning, and the t-54 that were still moving in their sight continued to decrease. The sound of gunfire made him irritated. With his gritting teeth and persevering, the remaining tanks finally broke through the enemy's mine blockade. They were getting closer and closer to the battlefield and came from command.

The radio signals and vaguely recognizable guns and cannons outline the attractive battle prospects. Just as Velistov was ready to face a hearty battle, the t-54 in the vanguard suddenly got shot and exploded, which formed an extremely spectacular scene in the infrared night vision instrument. Velistov quickly observed in all directions, but the infrared night vision instrument did not detect the movement of the enemy combat vehicles. What made him feel even more unfavorable was that the night vision instrument kept observing the scene of his own tank being shot and exploded! (To be continued.!~!
