As the Soviet flag was once again planted on the top of Berlin, the surging momentum of the red craze had a completely different impact on the Eastern and Western camps. The entire Soviet world was filled with optimism and positive emotions, and the pace of sweeping the world was accelerated with previous adjustments. The indestructible Soviet Red Army will sharpen the blades on the pretentious Germans and then complete the sacred and great mission; Western countries are filled with grief. Since modern times, the belligerent countries that have fallen in the capital have suffered irreparable heavy losses. Before the Germans have been defeated, people have already lacked confidence in them. The US and British parliaments are hesitant about the plan to aid the Soviet Union, and the French simply buried their heads in strengthening their eastern defense line. The Belgian and Dutch governments are also quietly preparing to go into exile to Britain again.

Mediocre people often only focus on appearance but not on the inside. They see the prosperity of the Soviet army and the depressedness of the German army, but ignore the subtlety behind it. In just a few days from crossing the border to occupying Berlin, the number of casualties of the Soviet army exceeded 40,000, and the aircraft and tanks lost easily reached three digits. The troops were constantly raided during the march and fell into hard battles of varying degrees. The initial heroic spirit was lost. Moreover, the 11th Guards Tank Army under the Baltic Coast Front Army was severely damaged, and the 8th Mechanized Army also suffered considerable losses. The Soviet command had to strengthen the 6th Guards Tank Army to the northern wing, which had brought immeasurable impact on the seemingly one-sided war situation.

After the fighter jets were captured in the Lukenwald area, the Soviet army immediately transferred the Polish 1st Front Army on the concentrated route and the Polish 2nd Front Army on the southern flank to participate in the war. The response speed was amazing, but the relative balance of the Soviet combat corps was also pulled, and the connection between some troops became relatively loose. At the same time, the German Joint Staff finally implemented the idea of ​​mobile guerrilla warfare, and the Empire's 1st Expeditionary Corps 4.

90,000 people, the 72,000 German Army's 3rd Army and about 15,000 troops directly under the base camp have avoided the Soviet reconnaissance secretly gathered in the area near Rostock, waiting for the visit of the Soviet North Flank offensive troops; the 2nd Expeditionary Regiment of the Imperial Army and the 2nd Army of the German Army, which ended the Battle of Wandlitz, drew 4 divisions of more than 50,000 troops to the northern region of Saxony-Anhal, occupying a favorable position to enter the northern line at any time.

On the first day of the Battle of Lukenwald, the desperate defense of the German troops caused some trouble to the Soviet troops who concentrated their forces to fight an annihilation war. However, after actual combat, the Soviet command realized that the German team in the encirclement was far less powerful than expected. In the night battle that night, although the German troops that launched an attack west of Lukenwald were unable to rescue their companions in the encirclement, their offensive brought great threats to the Soviet airborne troops and armored rescue troops, forcing the Soviet troops to sluggish the other side by blowing up bridges and destroying traffic. Before the battle that night was over, the Soviet command adjusted its deployment according to the front-line battle report, and used the speed advantage of tanks and mechanized troops to expand the Lukenwald's encirclement, intending to surround and annihilate the German troops coming to rescue.

As for the overall strategic situation, it was of critical significance to the Soviet Union's control of the battlefield and deter the West in the early stages of the war. The command of the Soviet Front Command was also recognized by the Supreme Command. When receiving the new combat command, the only remaining vanguard of the Baltic coastal front, the 5th Army of the Stalingrad Kiev Tanks of the Red Flag of the Guards, had crossed Wandlitz and advanced westward. Its reconnaissance forces were close to the border areas of Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhal. Saxony-Anhal was located in the center of the German territory, adjacent to Lower Saxony, Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringian, and its capital

Magdeburg is located on the east-west transportation route of Central and Europe. The main railway from Paris to Warsaw and even Moscow passes here. It can be regarded as a transportation hub connecting East-West Europe in peacetime and has important strategic value. Although it is only more than 40 kilometers away from Magdeburg, the 5th Guard Tank Army of the Soviet Army could only give up the prey they were about to be obtained and turn south according to the command of the command. This time, they had to give up the railway and highway trunk lines. In the shortest possible time, they passed through the mountain monument area that was not conducive to the rapid advance of the mechanized corps, and moved to a combat position northwest of Lukenwald, thereby implementing a large encirclement of the German rescue troops.

The Soviet officers and soldiers of the 5th Guards Tank Army rushed south at a speed of 15-20 kilometers per hour. Their distance from the 6th Guards Tank Army was also increasing. The latter's mission was to cooperate with the mechanized infantry and ordinary infantry of the Baltic coastal Front to sweep northern Germany. For several days, this guard tank corps, which was first-class in the Soviet armored forces, quickly entered Mecklenburg-Former Pomery State and conquered Ankram along the northern coastline of Germany.

Greifswald, Stralsund and other port cities. The front line is approaching Rostock, a port in northeastern Germany. Looking north and south, the 8th Army of the Red Flag Tank, which belongs to the Soviet Polish Second Front Army. After Berlin changed hands, the army turned to Leipzig to attack and advance. Just wait for the Soviet army to eliminate the elite German forces in the Lukenwald area, a few sharp Soviet swords with sharp edges can expand the cutting depth from eastern Germany to central and northern parts, greatly compressing the strategic space of the German team.

In the early morning, the Soviet soldiers of the 6th Tank Army of the Guards in Tribses area were doing the preparations before departure in an orderly manner. The T-34/85 tanks, Su series of self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles, and the transport trucks were not as neat as the parade team. Their dust was covered with dust and the pride of galloping. The smoke of cooking was rising and the fragrance of food was overflowing. The Soviet soldiers were looking forward to the beautiful scene of entering Rostock while looking forward to the beautiful scene of the battle of Lukenwald. Of course, speculations about the Battle of Lukenwald were indispensable - many people thought that it might be a key battle that determined the fate of the Second Soviet-German War. If the Germans lost their fighting will, the Soviet troops participating in the siege would be the first to be the enemy. Other troops might just think that it was a autumn outing in Germany.

Before the breakfast was over, the rumbling cannons came from a distance. The Soviet tankers were not panicked, but couldn't help but get excited. As a guard force with outstanding achievements, except for the border battle, they encountered small German troops along the way that were harassing and delaying the mission, and it took a lot of effort to repair tracks that were blown up by landmines. When they met the German team that took the initiative to attack, the Soviet tankers could not only vent their anger and depression, but also to compete for real combat merit before the end of the war. However, these Soviet officers and soldiers did not expect that the German army, which was about to encircle their own troops, had a local military advantage of 3.5 times and was not at all inferior in terms of technical equipment!

The rumbling cannons continued, but the smoke and dust only hovered at the far end of the horizon. This made the Soviet tankers eager to fight seemed so long for a quarter of an hour. When a group of fighter jets appeared in the east and west skyscrapers, the order to attack also arrived. The roar of the tanks immediately formed, which was the rhythm of strong hearts; the rough muzzles raised high, reflecting the rebelliousness of the Soviet soldiers; the steel wheels and tracks quickly turned, and the fields were trembling. While rushing to the battlefield, the young eyes were filled with hope - the Germans defeated the 17th Mechanized Infantry Division of Friends with a surprise attack, and the next moment will be the time for heroes to appear and turn the tide...

At around 7:00 on September 22, 1950, the 39th Soviet Combat Air Regiment, which had rushed to attack, lost to the similar number of German jet fighter units. In the next 25 minutes, the German army controlled the battlefield air supremacy here. Using this short 25 minutes, the German army unscrupulously attacked the Soviet ground armored forces with 21 armed helicopters, 7 Stuka dive bombers and 6 twin-engine bombers loaded with guided bombs.

Bombing. On the side of the road leading to the defense zone of the 17th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Soviet Army, 11 Black Panther tanks covered five heavy anti-tank guided rocket combat teams to fight an exquisite ambush. When the face-to-face battle came, the Soviet armored troops were in a state of decline, and their bravery failed to stop the German troops from continuing to advance to the seaside. By the afternoon, the German team had surrounded the Soviet Guards' 6th Tank Army and the 9th Mechanized Army's headquarters.

With the combat situation reflected in the aerial reconnaissance report and the combat map, the wise and brave generals of the Soviet Front Command were all surprised by the German intentions. Although the German team completed the exquisite deployment with bold and rapid interweaving, the essence of the disparity in strength between the two sides has not changed. More than 1.2 million well-equipped and well-trained Soviet troops entered the German territory, and the mechanized infantry and traditional infantry units followed the tank troops at a clear level. The perfect command system and good communication facilities allowed them to conduct coordinated operations in close and efficient manner. Within 50 kilometers of Tribses, the Soviet Union

The army has 7 complete divisions and the troops belonging to the other 4 divisions, with a force of more than 150,000. Judging from the aerial reconnaissance, the German army entered this area with less than 50,000 advance troops; the range was widened to 100 kilometers, and most of the Soviet army's Baltic coastal fronts included, with combat forces of more than 300,000. There are also a large number of troops who can go north to reinforce from the Berlin area at any time. Even if the German army sends all elite troops in this area, it is difficult to eat away the large Soviet troops in a short period of time. Instead, it may be constrained by the war and cannot escape, and eventually fall into the siege of the main force of the Soviet army.
