Twenty-Three Chapters of Grand Slam
This is General Meretskov's textbook tactics of infiltrating 3 airborne assault regiments into the Berlin urban area to engage in street fighting, after defeating the Allied forces resisting on the front line with a standard large-scale army group offensive, and then coordinating with the main force to exhaust the remaining strength of the Allied forces.
After all, he was known as 'Eurgle's left hand' and had an extraordinary insight into the ever-changing battlefield.
This is also the biggest reason why Oleg let him rise from a mobilized soldier to a senior colonel and intentionally let him inherit his position.
Young, uh... Although Valery Grigorievich Merkurov is already 36 years old, he can't be considered a young man, but as someone who has reached middle age, he is now in the most precious golden period of his life.
Moreover, Oleg often discussed the latest changes in modern battlefield tactics with him during his leisure time. This also allowed him to learn a great deal of new era technology and tactics from Oleg.
Whether it's his life experience or battlefield experience, he has reached the pinnacle of life!
In comparison with his opponent Warren Foegele...
Although Wen Lun, who is 48 years old, has rich combat experience and can be considered a veteran. However, that was 20 years ago. In today's era of three-dimensional attacks by land, sea, and air, the situation where victory was won solely through the brute force of infantry has long since passed. Moreover, as the highest commander of the Berlin garrison, his greatest reliance is his 20 years of seniority in the military. Having not been on the battlefield for a long time, he has become accustomed to holding golf clubs with the same hands that once held guns.
When two people compare with each other, their strengths and weaknesses are immediately apparent.
And here is obviously a good place for an ambush.
At the same time, Wen Lun made a fatal mistake.
In order to reduce the pressure on the front-line resistance army, he ordered the infantry and light armored vehicles without heavy firepower to speed up their advance to the destination, but did not expect that their own heavily armed main battle tanks would be left far behind due to speed.
The Allied light infantry units, which did not receive artillery support, were also annihilated.
The road is neither wide nor narrow, but it can accommodate 5 tanks side by side, which also provides ample space for the Iron Fist tank's powerful firepower to play out.
Four Iron Hammer tanks formed a straight line, firing intense flames at the chaotic Allied multi-functional vehicle formation in front of them. In the deafening roar, the precious multi-functional vehicles of the Allies were reduced to fragments one after another. As for those hastily counterattacking Allied infantrymen, they were quickly swept into fragments by the three 20mm storm heavy machine guns mounted on the Reaper mech's body. If there were any insolent javelin rocketeers in a certain area, this mechanical beast would mercilessly crush them with its body, of course, anyone or dog crushed by this mechanical beast would be minced into meat sauce on the spot.
The high-rise buildings standing on both sides of the road provided good cover for the Red Army's anti-tank rocket men. Relying on various covers that had been prepared long ago, the Red Army anti-tank rocket men fired one by one at the disorganized Allied army formations below, bringing death with red flag rockets.
Of course, after a burst of red light, there was nothing left but ruins.
The Allies' will to fight seemed to have dissipated somewhat, and some Allied officers and men began a slight retreat. But this did not escape Merkurov's eyes.
The original cow frog carrier was used as a precautionary measure, but now it has come in handy.
The human catapult system (model CC98-HTDS), commonly known as the "human cannon", is capable of launching a grown man over 1,000 meters into enemy lines, where he can parachute down to safety. This radical personnel deployment system has seen a 40% increase in safety coefficient every year. Its inventor and first practitioner, the legendary acrobat and patriot Akardy Ilyushin, would be proud if he knew about it.
Infantry quickly boarded the vehicle and swiftly deployed into position. The Bullfrog launcher adjusted its system for firing positioning.
Ready, set!!
Boom boom boom———
The scene of 100 frogs launching together is quite spectacular. A brave Red Army soldier was launched into the air in a ball-like posture, like a dumpling, and from a distance, it looked like a bright red firework being launched into the sky.
Those soldiers flew a good distance in mid-air before opening their parachutes and landing gently on the ground. Of course, these landings were not completely without danger either. In mid-air, many of these soldiers were blown to pieces by incoming rockets.
Only 200 soldiers were able to land intact. But even with only 200 men, it was more than enough to deal with the Allied forces that were about to retreat.
Why?
Because most of the infantry who landed intact were the terrifying Magnetic Stormtroopers!!
These infantrymen wrapped in thick armor fully live up to their reputation as 'infantry killers'. The exquisite miniature electromagnetic guns in their hands are a game-changer in close combat.
Once locked onto a target, a voltage of up to 10,000 volts will pursue them relentlessly like a gadfly on the Achilles' heel, and in an extremely short time, the enemy will be roasted into charcoal.
They, who are also protected by thick armor, are not afraid of the Allies' deadly attack dogs at all, and they will seize the opportunity to strike with lightning speed, and it is estimated that there will be roasted dog meat to eat tonight.
About 200 magnetically armored infantrymen also formed a straight line, like a wall of death, pressing towards the disordered Allied army. If you avoid them and don't become their enemy, that's fine; but if you're unlucky and block their way, they'll instantly turn you into a skeleton in an instant.
The Allied soldiers who were ambushed from both front and back now have no way out. With only light equipment and a small number of heavy weapons, they quickly collapsed under the Red Army's long-prepared artillery crossfire. Most of the Allied officers and men have already begun to surrender to the nearby Red Army. Only a few Allied soldiers are still making futile resistance, and their fate is death.
This battle has no suspense anymore.
You might counter that the Allies had heavy tank formations in reserve, so how could they be written off completely?
What you said is not wrong, but do you think the Red Army's methods are just this one?
The dual-rotor helicopters, which had taken off early for combat, were led by Commander Shana Akers and quickly broke away from the front lines to reach the rear half of the Allied tank formation, which lacked anti-aircraft weapons.
It's not just the air force bullying the infantry. The twin-rotor helicopters on both sides of the tank formation dropped another enemy that the Allies feared the most - the Terror Mech.
After putting down a total of 300 tiny but deadly mechanical men, the double-blade helicopter team began to cooperate with the mechanical men to slaughter those clumsy Allied tanks.
Another Grand Slam!!
In fact, there was a squadron of Apollo fighters within the Allied Command in Berlin, but why didn't they take rescue action?
In a depression not far from headquarters.
"Comrade Captain, radio interference has spread extensively. I believe the Allied base is now completely unable to receive any frontline intelligence." A Red Army soldier wearing a black beret reported to a tall and slender female Red Army soldier in front of him.
"Uh-huh. Good. Let's keep going like this, wait for our reinforcements to arrive, and then coordinate with the main force to attack the base!" The red-haired female officer with a golden ponytail smiled satisfactorily, then gave orders to the soldiers in front of her.
"---- is"
The officer's name was Baralaika Boris Makarich, commander of the 1st Special Forces Detachment of the Soviet Red Army Airborne 3rd Division, with the rank of Captain.
She is already 25 years old. In fact, in the Red Army, there are not a few people who have reached high positions at the age of 25. But Baralayka is an absolute exception.
She enlisted in the army at 15 years old and went through more than 200 battles, killing over 400 enemy soldiers. Among them were 39 military officers, with the highest rank being lieutenant colonel.
At 15 years old, she should have been a lovely young girl with her heart full of hope and promise. What turned her into a female devil?
The reason is that she has a father named Boris!!
Boris, this Soviet legendary hero figure is his father!
He also has his own family and a lovely obedient daughter. He should have gone to fulfill the obligations that a father should do.
But... because of war.
That's right, war.
To defend against the blows to his own party at home, Boris had no choice but to abandon his gentle family and head for the cold, unfeeling battlefield to wage a war that he did not truly believe in.
But no choice... All this is for the people.
These words, which Boris had heard since he was a child, became his inner conviction.
He wielded a specially made AK-45 assault rifle and went through countless brutal battles, ultimately winning the war.
But this hero did not get what he deserved.
It seems to be the injustice of heaven, in the last battle within the Soviet Union, Boris was unfortunately shot by an enemy bullet while trying to save a poor child and heroically fell on the battlefield.
But in that extremely short period of time when his comrades were carrying him away, Boris actually smiled and said something, although the corners of his mouth were still bleeding.
"I have no regrets sacrificing for the life of a child, because when I was young, I was also saved by a Red Army soldier... Now, I'm just passing on this life... That child will inherit my life..."
When the Red Army messenger told her of Boris's death and his last words on Balaleika's birthday, Balaleika did not utter a word. She silently walked into her own room.
His father was absent on her birthday and gave her a special gift.
When the sun rose on the second day, people were surprised to find that Bara-leka had walked out of her room on her own. However, compared to before, a new something seemed to have appeared in her pale blue eyes.
She tactfully declined her relatives' request for care and instead picked up the rifle that her father had been tightly holding onto until his death.
"I want to follow in my father's footsteps."
She said so to her relatives and friends.
After finishing this sentence, Baralaika never returned to that empty house again, but instead joined the Red Army's recruitment campaign without hesitation.
He took a cigarette from his comrade's hand and began to smoke as if no one was around him beside Baralayka.
His eyes seemed careless, but in fact he was staring at every move around the military camp.
As soon as there was any unusual movement in the enemy's camp, Balalaika would promptly inform the front-line troops.
In general, Wen Lun's army has been completely controlled.
"We have come here to annihilate all those who stand in our way."
Bara Leka muttered to himself. The sentence was like talking to others and also like talking to oneself.
The war is still going on...
On a pile of rubble far from the battlefield, a figure wearing tattered Allied military uniform, looking no different from a beggar, was slowly crawling forward.
"My god... damn it, can't even recognize one of our own..."
The hero of a certain mixed army said fiercely.
Just as I was about to wave at our own troops for help, I ended up attracting a hail of bullets from my own teammates.
If it weren't for one's own eyes seeing far enough, one would be trampled to death by the crowd of their own people.
All these damn clothes...
Although this set of clothes has been completely tattered, from the outside it can still be seen that the Allied Forces' blue uniform emblem.
This time it can be said that I have no home to return to...
A certain soldier looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, tears streaming down his face.
