Chapter 1 Guerrilla General

In the autumn of 1948, the border of Germany and Austria, the Bavarian Alps.

Under the warm sunshine, the calm water reflects the blue sky and snow-white mountain tops, and together with the lush vegetation, a beautiful landscape. On the country road, a wheeled armored vehicle was leading the way, and the six-**ka was in the middle, and the convoy behind the light truck was moving steadily from north to south. On these olive green painted cars, the officers and soldiers were wearing typical grass-brown military uniforms of the Soviet army, and most of the chests were wearing medals symbolizing military merits and honors. Although they were in a beautiful place, these Soviet soldiers wearing steel helmets were

Everyone looked grim and kept their guns away. Seeing a short bridge across the stream in front of them, someone raised a red flag on the leading armored vehicle. Seeing this flag, the subsequent vehicles slowed down and stopped in an orderly manner. Immediately afterwards, two soldiers carrying submachine guns jumped off from the armored vehicle that was more than ten meters ahead of the short bridge. They ran to the slopes on both sides of the bridge and observed the bottom of the bridge from a position close to the water. After confirming that they were fine, the two ran back to the armored vehicle slightly relaxed. The red flag on the vehicle turned into a green flag, and the convoy continued to move forward cautiously.

The Soviet armored vehicle, with small-caliber machine guns as its main weapon, drove steadily across the short bridge. The steel plate of the vehicle body was enough to withstand the attack of cold guns in the horizontal direction. However, less than two meters away from the bridge, the armored vehicle was instantly swallowed by the flames and smoke in a loud bang. Spoils and fragments outside the main body of the vehicle were immediately thrown into the air. This violent scene suddenly changed the environment, which was originally full of natural harmony.

The front truck was fatally attacked, and the trucks behind it stopped one after another, but at this time, the gunshots of fried beans had swept across, and the last troop truck was immediately covered by dense rain of bullets. Most of the Soviet soldiers died before they could start the battle. The Soviet soldiers in the cab of the six-wheeled truck were also hunted by precise firepower at the same time. When the gunshot stopped after more than a minute, the convoy was already covered with corpses and blood flowed. At this time, a group of "tree people" appeared in the bushes twenty or thirty meters away on the roadside. They were tied with a large number of fresh branches and leaves. When they were in a lurking state, the enemy had to observe carefully at close range. The battle of zero casualties did not make these elite soldiers relax their vigilance. More than a dozen people covered each other and moved forward alternately.

Good tactical qualities were shown. After approaching the convoy, they carefully cleaned the vehicles one by one, so the surviving Soviet troops on the six-wheeled truck failed to cause them too much trouble. The crackling gunshots sounded intermittently, and the noise ended happily. More "treemen" appeared on the edge of the woods on the other side of the road. In contrast, their concealment was worse, and they were mainly responsible for finishing work - pushing out the completely destroyed armored vehicles to the road with a large number of branches to cover the bomb craters, and put the bodies of Soviet soldiers and the seriously damaged squad light trucks to the woods to cover them. Previously, those "treemen" drove the six-wheeled trucks with intact main body and continued southward, and drove off the road about two or three kilometers ahead and turned into the hidden trail next to the side...

On the hills in the distance, Lin En observed the battle quietly throughout the journey. Such ambush battles were not very strong, which was suitable for veterans to practice with new recruits who lacked practical experience, and to raise supplies for the Free Regiment troops who were fighting in the Alps. It was a way to get multiple goals in one fell swoop. However, everything was hard to be complete. Shortly after the trucks carrying military supplies evacuated along the route arranged in advance, two olive-green Soviet fighters flew in a low altitude. The explosions inevitably reached the Soviet military station at the far pass. They could call their own air force in a short time with a phone call or a telegram. The Soviet pilots might not be able to directly find the wreckage of the ambushed vehicle, but the Soviets also sent combatants from the nearby station to search along the way. It would not take long for them to find the place. Then, as usual, blocked and swept the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Just a few months ago, Lynn was the first cabinet minister of Germany's democratically elected politics after the war, planning a beautiful vision of the revival of the empire. At that time, he never thought that he would "return to his old business", nor did he expect that he would lead his troops to fight guerrillas with the Soviet army between the mountains and ridges. All this was completely deviated from the original plan. The Soviet army occupied Germany openly, and used Soviet-style methods to control this country that only had nominal sovereignty, and opposed everything.

The resistance was killed. From the moment the formal armistice agreement was signed and came into effect, the honeymoon cooperation period between the Soviet Union and the Free Empire was completely over. The imperial team that had originally passed through the Soviet Union to return to Germany was detained. A few officers and soldiers who tried every means to escape from the Soviet Union brought extremely unfortunate news: not only was this army disarmed, but most of the officers were shot and killed after the hasty interrogation of the Soviet army. After identification, some of the ordinary soldiers were also brutally killed, and the rest were all sent to the Ukrainian region to engage in heavy labor.

The former friend became an enemy. Although the former enemy did not directly become friends, the positions of the allies also changed subtly after the Eastern and Western camps reached an armistice agreement. Germany was no longer in their control, and it was not hindered from them. It was just that they were happy to see that it could restrain the development of the Soviet Union's military. As a result, the international situation became confusing in the eyes of ordinary people. Although it had essentially broken the face with the Free Empire, the Soviet government did not make public. Even the statement of supporting the Free Empire was not retracted. After the European war, the Allies could clearly concentrate on dealing with the Free Empire entrenched in Northern Europe, but did not launch large-scale troops to go north. They only launched some limited offensives in the border areas of central and northern Norway. On the contrary, the United States and Britain were welcomed almost every day to return the army. The mainstream public opinion called for peace...

One winter before the withdrawal period stipulated in the armistice agreement, the millions of Soviet troops were carrying out ease suppression and "purging" in Germany, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary. Since being forced to withdraw into the Alps, Lynn gradually lost contact with the Baath Party and the Free Regiment personnel in the country. In the consideration of guerrilla warfare, his initial more than 3,000 troops gradually dispersed into dozens of squads. Good commanders can use complex terrain to deal with strong enemies, and those with poor abilities or luck may enter the Jedi. Two months have passed, the temperature is decreasing day by day, and the strength and morale of the guerrillas are also sliding down uncontrollably. As such, Lynn and his troops will sooner or later suffer glorious failure in a battle without seeing hope.

In early October, the telegram from the Imperial Base Camp brought new hope to the distressed Lynn: through a series of secret contacts and talks, the Liberal Empire of Northern Scandinavia reached an undisclosed non-aggression agreement with the United States and Britain. The Allies still maintained military blockade and suppression of the Liberal Empire, and the land battles would also be carried out in a pretentious manner. However, the ships of the Allies would release ships from entering and leaving the Liberal Empire, and could even provide secretly troop transport ships for the Liberal Empire to transport combat personnel and equipment materials to Germany on the condition that the Liberal Empire would not attack the Allies in any way during the validity period of the agreement. Moreover, after they regained the German regime, the territory originally belonging to Norway must be returned to the Kingdom of Norway, and Germany will pay a considerable compensation for occupation.

"Non-aggression" is not just about watching the fire from the other side of the river. In order to weaken the Soviet Union, an opponent that was difficult to defeat through conventional wars, the allies quickly relaxed a series of blockades and provided convenience in a non-public manner. Soon, the lonely Lynn troops seized a large number of supplies from the US troops stationed in Italy in the southern foothills of the Alps, including the ammunition, food, and medicine they needed most. A hundreds of advance troops set out from the Liberty Empire also took a boat through the Norwegian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Mediterranean arrived in Italy, and then crossed the Alps to the guerrilla area. After the successful test, the Imperial Base Camp regarded the Alps as a new pedal to return to Germany, and the entire battalion of mountain infantry arrived one after another. What made Lynn feel most confident was that the top leaders of the Empire highly recognized the military command ability he showed at this stage and formally appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Operations Cluster, the commander-in-chief of each dispatched team, the free regiment guerrillas and reinforcements.

Before the deep cold came, Lynn's situation showed a strong bottoming rebound. His opponents, the Soviet troops stationed in southern Germany and western Austria, were unable to play their military advantages under the constraints of cold weather. The frozen Alps were absolutely not as hot as the Soviet hinterland, but it was not the home court of the Soviets after all. In addition, the Soviet troops at this time rely too much on the strong impact of tank mechanized forces in tactical and spiritual terms, and fell into a confusion that was exactly the same as the German team in Operation Barbarossa. They were unable to fight against the Patriotic War in many aspects.

The Soviet troops were comparable in the period, which also gave Lin En a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After analyzing the situation calmly, the turnaround master realized that the situation he was facing was full of similar rhymes when Rommel led the African Armored Army to North Africa in 1941. Therefore, before more elite soldiers and combat supplies arrived, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity that the Soviet air force's attack ability was sharply reduced and the garrison troops were relaxed, and he taught this polar bear that "fighted the world invincible" a lesson, so that those who didn't care about any treaty agreements would understand: I will have to pay it back sooner or later!
