Facing the two-sided attack by the Allies and the Soviet Union, Germany was about to face the fate of defeat, giving the entire German army more reason to worry that soldiers would defect or surrender at the first opportunity. <-> In order to prevent the grassroots soldiers of the German army from taking almost any measures to prevent their comrades in their hometown from deserting and returning home as deserters in the same unit, German General Heinrich issued a combat order:
"People from the same area should be separated!"
This is because the battalion commander of an assault battalion of the "Grossdeutschland" Guards Regiment observed that as the war got worse, the young soldiers in the battalion rarely had the ideal of fighting for the country.
The battalion commander reported to General Heinrich: "General, many people want to be injured so that they can be returned to the field hospital. The reason why they are still guarding the position is just because they are afraid of being summarily executed. They have no choice but to 'Walking zombie loyalty'."
Heinrich was silent for a long time before saying: "Let's do our best!"
In order to capture Berlin, the Soviets also played tricks. What shocked the German officers was that as soon as the Soviets started using loudspeakers to broadcast to the German positions, the soldiers would immediately start asking loudly for details, such as whether they would Will he be deported to Siberia? How did the Soviet army treat civilians in the German-occupied areas? The Soviet army's answer was to try its best to show the demeanor of a civilized army, which could even give German officers the illusion that the Soviets were angels.
In order to prevent soldiers from surrendering, German commanders began confiscating all white items on the front lines, such as soldiers' white handkerchiefs, to prevent anyone from using them as a sign of surrender. However, in order to surrender, many German soldiers hoped to sneak into the dense forest and surrender to the Soviet army so that they would not be seen by others and avoid their families being implicated in the punishment orders issued by Hitler.
In order to persuade the soldiers to stick to their positions, the officers and the first-level commander of the German company almost racked their brains. Some officers told the soldiers that Roosevelt had died on the evening of April 14. this means. American tanks would never attack them again. German officials claimed that the relationship between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union had deteriorated very much, and that the Americans and British would help the Germans repel the Soviets.
Kane soldiers of the German 391st Security Division near Guben discovered that SS personnel from the German 32nd Grenadier Division began to come to give them lessons, mainly about the death of Roosevelt and the miracle that saved Frederick II from the predicament. the relationship between. The SS personnel in class seemed to be reciting biblical scriptures. Kane did not believe these nonsense at all, but he still stood his ground because according to relevant rumors, the German army would use a new secret "super weapon" to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Soviet army on April 20, Hitler's birthday.
Of course, some German officers who had participated in the war against the Soviet Union played a huge role in Kane's ability to hold his position. It was they who convinced many soldiers.
Kane will always remember that the officer coldly told them the consequences of losing the battle with the Soviets. Of course, since the Soviets entered Germany, revenge also followed. Kane's home was destroyed by Soviet soldiers. More than a dozen of them A man raped his own sister, a girl under five years old. Kane did not see the tragic scene when his sister died, but he could imagine what it was like. Kane hates the Soviets!
The officer's speech easily won Kane's trust and approval. He remembered the officer's last words: "If the Eastern Front is lost and the Soviet army breaks through the German defense lines and enters Berlin, then Germany will face horrific consequences that you can't imagine. If that happens At that time, maybe you want to die with dignity, but it will be a luxury for you!"
Kane clearly remembers his answer: "Yes, sir! What terrible hatred will be permeated throughout Berlin. I guarantee you, sooner or later we will find them out, and those guys who rape women and children will get Punishment. It¡¯s hard to believe what these beasts have done. I have sworn an oath. I will kill at least ten Bolshevists by myself and avenge my family! God grant us our wish.¡±
However, in order to replenish troops, Kane's army welcomed some new conscripts to the front line almost every day. They lack training, and most of them are indifferent to the officers' preaching. They just want to survive. In Kane's eyes, these people are simply scum, the scum of Germany.
What Kane didn't know was that their regimental commander had given his battalion commander a piece of advice: "No matter what the cost, we must hold the position. You are responsible for it, and if a few soldiers start to run away, Shoot them. If many soldiers run away and you can't stop them and the situation becomes hopeless, then you'd better kill yourself."
In the Zelo Highlands, except for some sporadic machine gun fire, there is almost a "calm before the storm" here. German soldiers retreating from the front line inspected and cleaned their weapons, ate and rushed.6401;Biba
It¡¯s time for me to attack Germany
I move forward with your name in mind
As long as I shout "Ula" during the battle
At this point in the war, in fact, every Soviet soldier has an unstoppable desire to end the war. However, the closer they are to victory, the more they hope to survive the battle. They are also eager to take home a military medal, which will have an extraordinary impact on their future status in their hometown, especially at home. However, for soldiers, after surviving the war for so long, there was one thing more terrifying than death in battle during the final period of the war, and that was missing arms and legs. Amputated veterans will also be unfortunate. They will be treated like vagrants. Perhaps they have lost their use value to the country. Although the country will shout that they are meritorious officials and they are heroes, but for those who are waiting for help, How can the country treat them well? They will just become the forgotten people! (To be continued.)
