"We don't have to be afraid of failure. Even every town in Germany has put the enemy in a banner. As long as our unyielding determination remains, as long as our tenacious will remains, we will fight. In the villages, in the forests, in the valleys... in the land of Germany, bravely and fight! What we should really be afraid of is our enemies. They will live day after day under the eyes of hatred and contempt. They will not be at peace for a moment and will wake up from nightmare at any time. They will never appreciate the beautiful scenery of Germany, because it will become their burial place! Fight! Germans, no one can enslave you! Fight! Germans, hold your proud heads! Fight! Fight! Fight persistently until victory..."

In the Municipal Square in Leipzig, under the witness of tens of thousands of German people, Lynn issued an intense and passionate call for battle, which not only showed his courage and courage as the leader of the country, but also inspired the confused and pessimistic people with his words and deeds. The speech was broadcast in real-time broadcast, allowing most people in Europe to hear Germany's battle oath. More than 20 minutes after the speech, the people in the Leipzig Market Square had not completely dispersed, and groups of Soviet bombers rushed over with air strikes, intending to use air strikes to eliminate the political leaders of democratic Germany and the most resolute resisters. However, their expectations were not realized. Lynn safely avoided the bombing in the air defense bunker and caused the Soviet Air Force to suffer a little pain through early deployment: two equipment.

The Luftwaffe squadron of the f-109 was ambushed north of Leipzig. After the Soviet air raid crew dropped the bombs and wariness, they intercepted and killed the Soviet bombers that failed to maintain close coordination with the escort fighter jets in the middle of the road, and shot down 11 Soviet aircraft in a short time, and only one fighter jet was lost. Regarding this 1-11 air battle, the German propaganda agency exaggerated the "artistic technique" as usual, thus making the Soviet Air Force, which had the advantage of overall strength, lose face.*

Due to the limitation of overall strength, after the Soviet army's full invasion, the German Air Force mainly resisted through this flexible and small-scale combat, and the real battlefield was still on land. After boldly implementing the Wanderlitz annihilation battle, the main force of the German army continued to maneuver in the form of day and night, making it difficult for the Soviet army with air superiority to grasp the real movements of the German army. Just the third day after the 22nd Guard Tank Brigade of the Soviet Army was annihilated. The Soviet Army's 2nd Polish Front, which turned from the Cottbus-Dresden line to Berlin, was the first.

The head unit was ambushed by German troops in the Lukenwald area southwest of Berlin. In the battle lasted less than an hour, the Soviet army lost more than 40 tanks and armored vehicles and more than 300 soldiers. The remaining troops were not able to escape until a large group of fighter jets and attack aircraft were put into support. At the same time, Soviet reconnaissance aircraft found signs of large German troops movement on bridges and roads near this area. The Soviet radio reconnaissance department also found that the German army had at least two army-level command radio stations near Lukenwald.

Thinking that he had found the main field force of the German army, the Soviet command quickly mobilized elite troops to Lukenwald. The 7th Army of the Guards Red Flag Kiev-Berlin Tank, whose previous troops were blocked, launched an offensive deployment on the spot. The 8th Army of the Guards Red Flag Tanks advanced to the south of Lukenwald at full speed. The 2nd Army of the Guards Red Flag Tachenskaya Tanks and the 4th Army of the Guards Red Flag Kantemirovka Tanks, who had just occupied the Berlin area, were respectively roundabout and encircled Lukenwald on both sides of the north. The mechanized infantry in the nearby area also advanced to the Lukenwald area as fast as possible. More than 500,000 elite Soviet troops acted in accordance with the clear combat deployment. They were able to weave a airtight "skynet" in Lukenwald in just 24 hours!

Looking for an opportunity to avenge, the Soviet army seemed to have collectively sucked chicken blood from top to bottom, and the air force also launched continuous attacks regardless of fatigue. The Red Star Sky Wing almost covered the sky in the Luckenwald area, and the Luftwaffe also rarely dispatched jet fighters to conduct combat interception. On the afternoon of September 20 and early morning of September 21, the aviation troops of both sides fought fiercely in the airspace north and northwest of Luckenwald respectively. Although the number of combat aircraft deployed by the German army

However, they were very decisive in air combat, and the combat loss ratio was also obviously occupied. The Soviet Air Force was not afraid of this war of attrition, and transferred multiple aviation regiments from the north and south wings to participate in the battle, and then firmly grasped the battlefield air supremacy in this area. Under the strong bombing of the Soviet Air Force, the German troops that blocked the 7th Tank Army of the Soviet Guards quickly withdrew from the blocking position, while the German tanks that had previously operated in nearby areas were also unable to hide in the woodland.

It seems to be to interfere with the Soviet deployment. The German army launched military operations against the Soviet army in many places in Brandenburg, especially at night assaults, and even approached from west to only 40 kilometers from the city of Berlin on the night of September 20. The German harassment increasingly strengthened the Soviet army's determination to fight a major battle in the Lukenwald area. In order to block the retreat path of German troops, the Soviet army invested airborne troops at the same time in three directions west and southwest and northwest directions on September 21. Since the Allied forces carried out a large-scale airborne operation in Eastern Europe in 1948, it ended in a disastrous defeat. Military strategists generally recognize the vulnerability of traditional airborne troops in the face of enemy armored counterattacks, and the experience of French paratroopers in Vietnam has also become "parallels".

The latest evidence of the theory of time. The Soviet military decision-makers did not challenge the historical trend this time. Instead, they stood at the forefront of military technology - not only paratroopers fell from the sky, but also mechanical elites who could drive tanks and fly aircraft. Dozens of new gliders landed on target areas 150 to 240 kilometers from the city of Lukenwald, and cooperated with the paratroopers to raid 17 bridges on expressways and secondary roads. For the Soviet new airborne assault operations, the German troops were obviously not prepared. They only repelled the Soviet troops in two target areas. With the loss of rear bridges and important transportation facilities, the German team in the Lukenwald area had no way to retreat.

At 3 pm on September 21, the Soviet commanders were looking forward to the net-pull opportunity that the Soviet troops were looking forward to finally arrived. The Soviet troops that had completed the encirclement launched a full-scale attack on the German team in the Lukenwald area. Although the number of artillery invested by the Soviet army in this battle, the more than 700 attack aircraft mobilized by the Front Command greatly enhanced the front-line support firepower. The direct participating troops included 9 troops affiliated with the army. The configuration density of the attacking forces reached more than 3,000 people per kilometer, which was several times more than the German troops in most areas. Moreover, the Soviet follow-up troops were still converging in the Lukenwald area, and the balance of victory had completely tilted towards the Soviet side.

Although the German army did not collapse like a dam, as the armored forces of the Soviet guards 4th and 8th Tank Army arrived at the traffic rush occupied by the airborne troops, the surrounded Germans were only left to surrender or perish. In the Soviets' eyes, the German staff should be filled with failure or anxious to plan a rescue war that was completely unsure, but this was not the case. In the German Joint Staff in Hannover, the German military elites were doing their best to win a time game. They focused and cautiously mobilized every army on the war board, including the 4th Army, which restrained the main force of the Soviet army in the Lukenwald area. Although this army was in good condition.

The number of troops is regulated. Except for four regular army regiments, the remaining personnel are mainly composed of first- and second-level reserve soldiers. Among them, there are many veterans who participated in World War II. However, the truly ideal soldiers have been jealous in the early military expansion operation. Those who stay on the reserve list will either have war trauma, mentally and mentally insufficient, or intellectually lack. With the current situation in Germany, losing 70,000 troops at one time will be a double disaster of material and spirituality, but it is definitely not the end of the day. From the perspective of survival of the fittest and streamlining the troops, losing these reserve soldiers will not only not significantly weaken the strength of the German team, but will instead be conducive to the development of mobile combat in the future.

Under the Soviet offensive, the German team in the Lukenwald area became very weak after the first few hours of persistence, but no one was willing to enter the notorious Soviet prisoner-of-war camp. With the hierarchical design of the preset positions, the German soldiers were able to retreat to the next line of defense in an orderly manner after being broken by the Soviet army, or retreat into the forest land where the Soviet army was unable to carry out a full-scale pursuit. This made the Soviet army, which had the advantage, failed to achieve a decisive victory before nightfall. After dark, the unusual activity of the German radio station made the Soviet command worried that the opponent would launch a Jedi counterattack at night, so they ordered the attacking troops to suspend the offensive and stabilize the front. The Soviet officers and soldiers were strictly guarded on the positions seized during the day, but the surrounded German troops did not use the cover of night to carry out large-scale breakthroughs. They were like docile little animals, and they were only in a hurry.

Only in the case will they bite people, and once they are not oppressed, they stay in place honestly - the Soviets saw through this illusion, and they waited for the arrival of the real battle. After midnight, the trapped German army began to break out to the west, and the German army outside also invested troops to respond. Judging from the actual performance of night battles, the Soviet army was not only not inferior to the German team on the front battlefield, but also contributed some classic battle examples, and the Germans were better at night in small units.

Inter-fighting, especially using infrared night vision equipment to win tactical victory. In Lukenwald, the Soviet army that moved into position defense used landmines, flares, lighting and infrared equipment to withstand the German breakthrough, and the Soviet airborne troops that fought in concert with the ground armored forces also firmly defended most of the bridges. In some areas that were really unable to resist the German attack, the Soviet army used blasting methods to destroy the bridges to prevent the German army from merging inside and outside the encirclement.
