Soviet Union 1991

Second update

The 336th Naval Infantry Brigade, which landed at the port of Graifswald, quickly deployed in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with the assistance of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the German Democratic Republic. As far as the army is concerned, the emergence of the Soviet army is tantamount to providing timely assistance and solving their most urgent personnel problem.

Colonel Potapov brought to East Germany not only a combat force, but also BMP infantry fighting vehicles, as well as a large number of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons. In addition to the superficial purpose of "maintaining peace", the naval infantry brigade has a deeper purpose of militarily assisting the German Democratic Republic Army in the Berlin Battle and ensuring that the other party will not launch a series of counterattacks. After all, U.S. armored forces have entered West Berlin and are preventing the other party from storming Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from Bremen and Lower Saxony.

The 336th Marine Infantry Brigade brought enough BMP infantry fighting vehicles, many of which were prepared for the Democratic Republic Army, to alleviate their losses on the Berlin battlefield.

Looking at the steady stream of volunteer troops entering the Soviet Union from the port, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least they don't have to worry about East Germany losing the war now. Behind them are the Soviet peacekeeping troops. If the United States really wants to liberate the entire territory of East Germany, it cannot avoid the Soviet peacekeeping troops.

However, Yanayev could see clearly what the Americans stationed in West Germany were planning behind the scenes.

A considerable number of the many conspiracies brewing on German soil originate from the Kremlin. Adding obstacles to Western Europe is to ease one's own strategic pressure and prevent the other party's eastward expansion of NATO in disguise.

"They will not let us capture Berlin, so more than half of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment will definitely enter Berlin to support the Bundeswehr in the war. By then, the German Democratic Republic will be unable to withstand the counterattack. This is The first situation. The second situation is to split the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment into three lines of attack, with the middle line responsible for supporting Berlin and the upper line attacking. The next two routes are supported by the Bundeswehr, attacking New Brandenburg through Hamburg, and attacking Dresden through Erfurt, but the second possibility is relatively small, and they still need German democracy. The Baath Party came to check and balance the Bundeswehr, but the Americans should force them to sever ties with the Soviet Union and join the game framework established by the United States.”

Yanayev looked at the map, and then said to Comrade Vladimir beside him, "Now, do you think why we asked the German Democratic Republic Army to postpone the attack? After all, they are facing the American Armored Cavalry Regiment. You What do you think the winning rate is? The prediction of Soviet military experts is that Berlin cannot be captured no matter how much it costs.”

Vladimir, who was sitting on the sofa, was silent. Finally, he slowly said, "So there is no hope for the German Democratic Ennahda Party to take over Berlin?"

"Hope?" Yanayev sneered, "Tell me how could they win this war without the intervention of the Soviet army? Or they couldn't win at all. If we intervene, then it will be a war between the Soviet Union and the United States. At that time, both sides will station a large number of troops in Berlin under the pretext of peacekeeping, and the result will be a return to the period of division between the two Germanys. "

Yanayev also whispered, "And I don't want to compete with the United States here. For the Soviet Union, this is not good for us. So now, we can only advise Colonel Jonishkis to give up Berlin."

Vladimir was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "They will not give up Berlin, just like we will not give up Moscow. Even if there are American troops in front, they will launch a forceful attack. The German Democratic Renaissance Party seems to have That Prime Minister’s Office has a very deep obsession.”

Yanayev said slowly, "Of course, they think this is a symbol of dictatorship and oppression. Isn't the slogan of liberating East Germany the capture of Berlin? The inability to capture Berlin is always a shadow that lingers in their hearts. "

"Sometimes it is wisdom to step back to the negotiating table, my comrade Vladimir." Yanayev leaned back on the sofa, tilting his head and said to the people around him, "Who said we are not going to take Berlin? ? This is the beginning of taking Berlin."

"The German Democratic Ennahda Party first proposed peace, which will give the Federal Republic of Germany an illusion. Under the pressure of the US military, East Germany gave up the idea of ​​taking Berlin and prepared to solve the problem at the negotiating table. Let them relax their guard first, and Letting the soldiers on the Eastern Front pretend to evacuate the city of Berlin to express the idea of ​​​​peace talks and let the enemy relax their guard is the first step.”

"The second step is to deploy all the armored forces of our peacekeeping forces in Leipzig and Schwerin. Schwerin is the front line for the attack on Hamburg, and Leipzig is the front line for the attack on Erfurt. By then the Americans will think that East Germany has given up. The idea of ​​attacking Berlin turned to capture Thuringia and Hamburg, and also made a move to pretend to attack. The United States will definitely transfer troops to these two places, which will relieve the large number of US troops in Berlin. garrison."

"In the end, the German Democratic Republic Army, which was supposed to evacuate Berlin, launched a secret counterattack. With the support of Soviet fighter jets, tanks and armored vehicles, they had every hope of reoccupying Berlin without the Bundeswehr being caught off guard."

"This is our overall plan to make the Americans mistakenly think that we have given up attacking Berlin, but in fact we are accumulating strength for a counterattack."

This trick of building a plank road to covertly conceal Chencang was very clever, and the United States had no idea of ​​the interlocking strategies here.

"But it's hard for a naval infantry brigade to do this, right?" Comrade Vladimir said hesitantly, "This also requires the coordinated battle of the Soviet Air Force. Otherwise, how can they take Berlin with just a few old bombers?"

The air force deployed in the Belarus region can take off and rush to East Germany at any time. The MiG-29 fighter squadron and the Su-34 bomber squadron will replace the old Su-24 bomber to carry out air strikes.

"Of course, the Soviet Union will also have an air force that will rush to East Germany on the day of the peace talks, so that all the chips for attacking Berlin will be gathered, and the Soviet fighters will enter Berlin in secret and join the battle before everyone reacts. So this move must be fast, at least take Berlin before the United States reacts."

Yanayev stretched out an index finger and said slowly, "The time limit for the attack is likely to be only one night. Whether or not Berlin can be taken, there is only one night." (To be continued.)
