Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 751: Iron Line of Defense

Second update

Five hours after the Battle of Berlin broke out, the U.S. Joint Operations Command and the Federal Republic of Germany's Ministry of Defense held emergency consultations. It is hoped that the rights of the US troops to operate on German soil can be expanded, and at least they can be allowed to cooperate with the Wehrmacht to attack East Germany.

But no one dares to make arbitrary claims. Because Cole had previously banned the arbitrary movement of U.S. troops without the permission of the German government. Cole is afraid that he will become the second unlucky guy, leading the entire country to be controlled by the United States because of luring a wolf into the house.

"The German Democratic Republic Army is attacking Berlin from six cities at the same time, forming a steel ring and slowly surrounding Berlin. They plan to force us to evacuate towards Potsdam and drive the Bundeswehr completely out of Berlin. Since they can't annihilate us, they might as well just They opened the net and let our troops retreat. What a bunch of cunning foxes."

The German Minister of Defense has realized what the Democratic Republic of Germany wants to do. They want to force the Bundeswehr to withdraw from Berlin. The reality is that the Bundeswehr is already outnumbered.

Minister Scharpin's desk was filled with telegrams from the front. Since the war broke out, the situation on the front had become increasingly worse, and the German Democratic Republic's offensive was much more intense than before.

Minister Scharpin said to Cole, "So I suggest expanding the operational rights of the U.S. armored forces in the Federal Republic of Germany, at least allowing them to cooperate with our troops in attacking Schwerin or Dresden and relieve the pressure on Berlin. These two cities are important Sex is comparable to Berlin. Prime Minister Kohl, if we don’t loosen the bonds of the U.S. Army and give them certain freedoms, we will not be able to win this battle. The opponent is much stronger than us. "

Cole did not speak. He just looked at the Minister of Defense in front of him and asked word by word, "So has Minister Scharpin considered that in addition to East Germany, our enemies have other people who want to see Germany suffer? It’s just the Soviet Union. Do you think Americans are the saviors? Don’t think that I don’t know what President Mario is thinking about. He is just like Yanayev, they are all the same."

Cole does not want the United States to use this crisis in Germany to completely destroy him. The EU is the result of his painstaking efforts and must not be destroyed in the hands of the Americans. This is why she insists on relying on Germany to solve the problem. But all this seems a bit too idealistic in the face of cruel reality.

Minister Scharpin lowered his head and whispered, "I know that it is emotionally difficult for Prime Minister Kohl to accept that the Americans are taking advantage of the situation, but without the support of their troops, it is simply impossible to win the war just by relying on the trash of the Bundeswehr. "

"Even if Minister Scharpin did not have Americans, we would only have lost East Germany." In Cole's eyes, the American team is more hateful than the German Democratic Ennahda Party.

"No, without the Americans, we did not lose East Germany, but the strategic location of Berlin. All of us know the impact Berlin has on German politics, economy and military." Minister Scharpin argued that he wanted to Securing the authority for the US military to cooperate with the National Defense Forces in their operations.

"Without the assistance of the United States, we will wait for the total fall. By then, it will not only be Berlin, but the Democratic Renaissance Party will further encroach on several other states with its growing appetite." Minister Scharpin's face became very ugly, "At that time, it will be Peace talks can’t solve the problem.”

In Scharpin's tone of almost half coercion and half pleading, Cole finally agreed to the US team's operation in Berlin and allowed the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment to move freely on German soil. However, with the defense of Berlin as the priority principle, and then stationed in Hamburg, Erfurt and Magdeburg U.S. troops cooperated with the Bundeswehr operations to carry out strategic deterrence against East Germany, allowing the other side to forcefully disperse their forces to relieve pressure in the south and north.

Although the United States is still somewhat dissatisfied with Germany's command of operations, it generally agrees with the restrictive conditions put forward by the other party. After the U.S. forces had the right to mobilize, they could quickly and effectively deploy against Soviet operations.

However, the United States was still a little late. The Soviet Union had already assembled a large number of armored forces waiting for the attack. The 37th Guards Division almost transferred its second-line troops to the front line to act as armored forces to put pressure on the American team.

As a result, the United States assembled a large number of armored troops almost on the front lines of Saxony and former Pomeranian Asia. In order to exert psychological pressure on the United States, the Soviet Union assembled almost all BP infantry fighting vehicles and tanks on the front line. Tanks, including some that had been damaged, were also deployed on the front line to blackmail the opponent's capital. The remaining damaged tanks of the Western Army Group were removed and placed on the front line.

So the U.S. reconnaissance forces saw a continuous Soviet armored cluster. T72, T8O and T64 combined with the Sea of ​​Steel were deployed on the front line against the invasion of US imperialism. The reconnaissance helicopter captured the scene, which showed the ground covered with steel bodies, and the sight of one after another of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks was frightening.

After seeing this intelligence, the commander of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Sfeld, looked extremely ugly. The 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the United States had a total of 120 1a1 tanks, of which nearly 100 were distributed in the southern and northern areas, and only 20 were sent back to support Berlin. However, according to intelligence from reconnaissance aircraft, the total number of tanks of various types in the Soviet peacekeeping force was nearly 280, more than twice that of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, not to mention that they also deployed a large number of bomber formations and MiG-29 fighter formations in Dresden and Schwerin. According to incomplete statistics, the Soviet Union had deployed a total of more than 200 fighters to East Germany, and the current situation was completely a crushing force of armored torrents and the Red Butcher in the air.

Sfeld had hoped to send more air force teams to support ground forces, but was rejected by the Ministry of Defense. At the same time, the Federal Armed Forces refused to allow American fighters to enter Germany and control Germany's air supremacy.

"Remember, the United States' first priority is not to fight with the Soviet peacekeeping forces. Once the exchange of fire is equivalent to giving the other side an excuse to station troops for a long time. From now on, attacking is not the first priority. Holding the line of defense is." Minister Perry ordered the armored cavalry regiment to stop the Soviet steel forces from attacking. He did not expect that the other side would invest far more armored forces here than he imagined.

Faced with this situation, attacking is impossible.

They can only choose to avoid the Soviet Union's edge and take a defensive stance.

The Soviet Union's blackmail tactics were very successful. A large amount of public opinion propaganda plus psychological deterrence made West Germany mistakenly believe that the Soviet ground and air forces had a complete advantage in quantity and quality.

However, the Federal Armed Forces Air Force's fear of moving forward gave Sfeld a headache. They were afraid of the East German Beech Air Defense, and even more afraid of the Soviet Air Force stationed in East Germany.

They had experienced the "little Soviet Union" East German ground armed forces in previous battles, and everyone knew that the so-called "peacekeeping forces" presented to them this time were actually real Soviet elite troops, with combat troops dispatched from the Belarusian and Ukrainian fronts.

Before 1989, they had been ambitious to push the Soviet Union's steel core.

Fear lingered in the Federal Armed Forces garrison, and everyone was willing to cross the line. The armored defense line that divided East Germany and West Germany divided the entire country into two. Anyone who tried to expand their power to the land of East Germany had to consider whether they could cross this steel defense line.

T72 and T8O tanks were deployed in a line in the plains, and the real armored cluster force formed a defense line like a steel Great Wall, blocking the covetous West German Armed Forces and US armored forces.

Cooperating with the ground forces, the 6th Aviation helicopter was on alert in the air, including electronic warfare helicopters to conduct electronic interference with the opponent at any time. Having tasted the sweetness of the Caucasus Civil War, the Soviet 6th Army would naturally not miss any opportunity to demonstrate electronic information warfare.

The Soviet steel behemoth showed its sharp fangs in front of the US military. This is not the world's fourth T72 tank armored division boasting on the Gulf battlefield, but a real ace unit that has experienced war and blood.

If the US armored forces want to invade East Germany, they must first cross their steel defense line. To be continued.
