541 Battle of Berlin (4)

"You are the only one who hunts the Tiger King? Comrade, is it okay to make drafts before bragging?"

Zhang Huangxin, who had been fighting a bloody path from the town for a lifetime, was not welcomed like a hero. Specifically, they were indeed very popular at the beginning, and the Red Army infantry surrounding the town were shocked that they could escape. However, when Zhang Huangxin and others announced that they had destroyed a tiger king and a giant rat, they were ridiculed mercilessly.

"We didn't lie. If you don't believe it, you can just come in and take a look!" Zhang Huangxin felt very wronged. The last time he hunted the tiger king in Paris was not counting, it was already depressed enough. This time it was even more difficult, but he didn't count. He decisively expressed that he could not bear it.

The problem is that his speech is really not credible. If you don’t know the truth, can you believe that an air force transport plane pilot killed a tiger king and a giant rat the second time he drove a tank? You won’t believe it even if you kill it.

But what Zhang Huangxin and his friends said were the facts, which naturally caused great conflicts between them and the audience. They were once ridiculed and ridiculed and started to have sex with each other. If Shi Nengji hadn't arrived at the scene, it would have been a big deal.

"What's going on?" Shi Nengchi was also quite surprised at the two sides of the conflict. A pilot, a tanker and two infantry, such a strange combination is quite difficult to see. What's even more surprising is that these four people also claimed that they destroyed the Tiger King and the Giant Rat, which is indeed too unusual.

However, Shi Nengji is not an ordinary company commander. As a combat hero, he also has experience in cheating, and one of the pilots is his compatriots. He believes that his compatriots will not lie.

"Let the row prepare for battle, let's go in and take a look!" Shi Neng held the order.

"Company Commander, didn't the battalion commander say that he would surround him and not fight?"

Shi Nengchi explained: "The situation is special now, and the superiors are eager to have physical objects or photos of the latest super-heavy tanks in the German army. If what they say is true, we can complete this task."

"What if they lie?"

For the Red Army soldiers who were already afraid of being beaten by giant rats, they really didn't want to go in and look for abuse again. Naturally, they resisted this task. But Shi Nengji said: "If they lie, they are naturally engaged in military law!"

After saying that, he patted the small Boris on the shoulder: "Move the tank, comrade, you will lead the way!"

It is naturally good to be able to prove his own results, but returning to the nightmarish town also puts Boris in a very stressful situation. However, regardless of whether they were under pressure or not, he directly got on the car in three steps and got into the captain's position.

"Go forward, comrades!" Shi Neng held the order.

No. 707 T-34 was destined to become a legend. This temporary crew composed of most bloody laymen slowly drove into the town again under the command of Shi Nengji. Behind them, about a platoon of infantry was accompanying support.

At the beginning, No. 707 did not encounter any resistance, and the previous fierce battle also caused great trouble for the Germans. Germany was not only as simple as losing a tiger king and a giant rat, but the defense lines and strongholds inside the town were also messed up.

As a veteran, Shi Nengji also discovered this. It is obvious that Zhang Huangxin and his friends' words have improved their reliability. Just by rushing to this messy scene, it shows that the town has experienced a fierce battle before.

"Where are the super heavy tanks in Germany?" Shi Nengchi asked.

"It's probably the turn of the road ahead you can see it," Zhang Huangxin replied: "The Tiger King is ahead. Comrade Shi Nengchi, you have to pay attention in a while. The German devils' firepower is still very strong!"

Zhang Huangxin said it was true. When the Germans found that the 707 was back, they were naturally full of righteous indignation. They naturally hated this T-34 that had upset their defense line. So they concentrated all the firepower they could find and shot at No. 707!

"Squad one should pay attention to seizing the bakery in front, control it, and clean up the German devils!" Shi Neng commanded the battle in an orderly manner, and every order he ordered was so timely. So No. 707 and the accompanying infantry had no effort to gain a firm foothold in the town.

Of course, the most critical reason for this success is that the German army was pulled out at the most important support point in the town. Without the giant rat and tiger king, it was almost impossible to block the attack of the Red Army with close proximity to the grenadiers.

Finally turning the corner of the street, Shi Nengji saw a giant rat lying on the ground not far ahead. The rear of the super heavy tank was still smoked, and the cabin doors on the turret were all open, and it was obvious that it was abandoned.

Shi Nengji was happy. It was obvious that what Zhang Huangxin and the others said were true. They did destroy a giant rat!

"There is another tiger king!" Zhang Huangxin added in a low voice.

"Beautiful job, my comrade!" Shi Neng pounded his shoulder heavily and happily picked up the phone: "Comrade Harlink? Bring in the second and third platoons, yes, it was indeed destroyed. Notify the company commander that we must attack while the enemy's defense line is in chaos. Yes, attack immediately!"

Ten minutes later, Harink, who had been arguing with Zhang Huangxin and the others, also arrived at the scene. When he saw the destroyed giant rat, his eyes almost fell out.

Shi Nengji said happily: "Comrade Harink, you should apologize to these heroic comrades, they did it!"

Naturally, Zhang Huangxin and the others also started to shake. They were probably the first crew member to destroy giant rats in the history of the Red Army. At least they had to change to the Red Flag Medal?

The next thing is both simple and complicated. The simple thing is to eliminate the German devils in the town. When the Red Army's tanks and armored vehicles poured into the town, they destroyed their firepower points effortlessly. In the one-sided situation, they had to surrender.

But the complex problem is also complicated enough. Zhang Huangxin destroyed the giant rat's engine, causing the 188-ton monster to be as immovable as a giant mountain. It took dozens of engineering vehicles and hundreds of manpower to release the giant beast to be loaded on the train and transported it to Kubinka.

The Military Commission was also happy to have such a complete rat tank. The Military Commission had received reports from Rokosovsky and Zhukov intermittently, and did destroy some giant rats, but these rats were destroyed with bombs after the Air Force knocked out its air defense parachute.

Think about it, if hundreds of kilograms of bombs are smashed, not to mention the power of the explosion, the weight alone can make the giant rats harsh. So these rats were basically blown to pieces, some of the turrets flew away, and some of the chassis were blown apart, which is not very meaningful to understand this super heavy tank.

Except for the engine that Zhang Huangxin and others destroyed, the rest of the giant rats were basically intact. Let's put it this way, just replace the engine with Ya and continue to work. It can be said that the integrity is amazing. Soon Kubinka began a comprehensive test of the giant rats. This super heavy tank soon had no secrets for the Soviet Union.

The front armor of the mouse tank body is 200 mm thick, and it has an inclination angle of nearly 60 degrees. It is converted into a vertical armor of about 350 mm. There are also 185 mm armor on the side of the car body, the turret armor is about 220 mm to 250 mm, and the side of the turret has 200 mm (30 degree inclination angle). Even the tail armor of this goods is quite amazing. The tail armor of the turret is still 210 mm (20 degree inclination angle), and the tail of the turret is slightly thinner and 160 mm (35 degree inclination angle). Let's put it this way, the defense of this tank is quite amazing. None of the existing anti-tank ammunition of the Red Army can penetrate it head-on. Zhang Huangxin went through the **** and broke through his tail armor. It has to be said that it was also an accident!

Why is it an accident? Didn’t it be said that the mouse’s butt is also 160 mm thick, and the addition of inclination is definitely close to 200 mm. In theory, the d-85 of t-34-85 is absolutely impossible to penetrate such a large thickness. But thank God, the German armor at this time has been greatly reduced. Without molybdenum, its armor performance can be said to be a big dive. In addition, it is a bit shoddy to rush work, so Zhang Huangxin was able to penetrate it because the quality of this armor plate is too poor and cannot reach the defense level claimed on paper.

After understanding this, the Military Commission was still under great pressure. It can be said that rat tanks are almost impossible to be destroyed. The most correct way for the Red Army armored soldiers to encounter this kind of monster is to call for air support. Thank God, the heavy price for armored mice was paid, and their mobility was slag. As long as they were protected from hidden places and air defense fire nets, they were easily destroyed.

However, the huge threat of rat tanks still makes the army. The Commission felt that it was necessary to develop a corresponding super-heavy tank, at least the armored soldiers were quite interested in it. However, Li Xiaofeng was not very interested. In his opinion, there was no need to go crazy with the Germans to develop monsters like rat tanks or e-100s, which was a waste of resources. The best response to super-heavy tanks is to develop newer anti-tank weapons. With his personal intervention, the Red Army's armored soldiers and artillery immediately launched two projects: line-based anti-tank missiles and a new generation of large-power tank guns.

According to Li Xiaofeng's requirements, line-conducting anti-tank missiles must be able to effectively penetrate 300 mm homogeneous armor. As for the high-power anti-tank guns, it must change the disadvantage of the previous low chamber pressure of the Soviet Red Army tank guns and anti-tank guns. It is best to increase the chamber pressure to a level of 300 MPa, so that future anti-armor ammunition can effectively penetrate about 250 mm of armor.

Of course, these are later stories. Let us return to Berlin for the time being and continue to see the battle between the Soviet Red Army and the Nazis.

Berlin, Prime Minister's Office.

At this time, Hitler was no longer as energetic as he had just come to power. At this time, he seemed so sick. His pale face without a trace of blood and his red eyes could not stop for a minute, and he was like a cat who saw catnip.

The head of state was angry. Well, this is just a nonsense, because the head of state has been angry since 1944. There has never been good news on the battlefield. Both the National Defense Forces and the SS have lost again and again, so that the Soviet Red Army has appeared around Berlin today. The last time Germany encountered a similar situation or when? I'm afraid it was the period of the Seven Years War!

However, there is no second Elizabeth Petrovna who happens to die, and there will be no other Peter III who worships Frederick the Great. Therefore, Hitler's fate is much worse than that of Frederick the Great back then.

In this severe environment, there were already many voices within the Nazis asking the head of state to recognize the reality. Now Germany is impossible to continue fighting. Choosing a decent way to end the war is the most practical.

However, Hitler would not admit all this. This stubborn political madman never believed that he would lose, especially to the Bolshevik Russia that he never looked down upon. He refused to admit that he was at the end of his life, refused to surrender, and refused to leave Berlin. He chose to defend himself in Berlin. He believed that miracles would definitely happen!

"Those incompetent scum demanded that I surrender," Hitler delivered a passionate speech in the basement of the Prime Minister's House, "they said that Germany is over! And I want to say, this is a lie! Some of us have been scared by our enemies and have completely forgotten the spirit of Germany... What is the spirit of Germany? That is, the battle will never be defeated!"

After a breath, Hitler continued, "God is favoring Germany. My comrades, I always believe that miracles will happen, and we can only win! I believe that you will always stand on my side until victory!"

Accompanied by Hitler's blessing, the head of state ended his speech. When he returned to his office, he suddenly felt like he had collapsed. He sat down on the chair, his head drooped, and his iconic mustache became much darker.

A few minutes later, he slowly asked, "Where is the Russians?"

"Eastern Suburbs."

Hitler glanced at his chief guard, looked dull and asked, "Frederi, do you believe we will win?"

Fredrich replied respectfully: "First of the People's Republic of China, I always believe that under your leadership, we will be invincible. Now we have only encountered a small setback like Frederick the Great. I believe that this unpleasant time will soon pass, and we will sweep all our enemies like in 1940!"

Frederick's answer is considered to be in the cracks of Hitler's heart. The Emperor Frederick the Great he worshiped has not failed to walk through Maicheng, and Berlin has been surrounded. But history has proved that Berlin could never be broken from the outside. As long as there are no inner demons, victory must belong to Germany.

Speaking of the insider, Hitler's mood became worse in an instant. He knew very well that there were many insider now, and those who followed him and were loyal to him had begun to betray him.

A cold light suddenly flashed in Hitler's eyes, and he raised his head firmly and asked, "What is Hermann doing? Where is Heinrich?"

Fredrich replied: "There is no news about the Air Marshal. The communication between Berlin and the outside world has been greatly damaged, and the Russians are interfering with the radio... As for the leader Heinrich, he has been engaged in transfer work before."

"Transfer? What to transfer?" The cold light in Hitler's eyes suddenly became brighter, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Himmler's actions.

"The Imperial Bank vault and the various trophys we had obtained before, and the leader Heinrich thought Berlin was no longer safe and was organizing the transfer of these wealth to the south!"

"This bastard!" Hitler slapped the table, "Our warriors are fighting bloody, and the only thing this bastard thinks of is money! What's the use of these dirty money? If Germany is finished, no matter how much money it is, it will be empty. Like Hermann, he has been corrupted and has completely forgotten the purpose of our party! He has fallen to the same as those traitors!!"

Fredrich did not speak rashly because the head of state has been a little crazy since 1944. As the pressure on the front line becomes stronger and stronger, he seems to be crazy. He will lose his temper because of a little problem. He can praise you one second, but announce that he will shoot you the next second. He has completely lost his rationality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mentally ill.

Now, Hitler criticized two successors in the party who were second only to him, in the legal sense. On such occasions, Fredrich thought it was not suitable for him to interrupt and just be a handsome man quietly.

Sure enough, Hitler's mood returned to stability after venting his vent. He sat heavily on his office chair and gasped, as if he had just had a marathon.

For a moment, there was no other sound in the office except Hitler's breathing. Fredrich couldn't help but feel the pressure. The furious head of state was not terrible. The most terrible head of state belonged to him who was both sober and tired at that time, he would have some terrible thoughts. At this moment, the door of the office was knocked and the secretary sent an urgent telegram.

Hitler asked, "Did it come from the front line? I don't want to hear the complaints of those cowardly generals. Those bastards have all their suggestions, except for saying something completely meaningless, and are incompetent and cowardly. There is nothing new except for shouting for surrender!"

However, the secretary's answer surprised Hitler. The telegram did not come from the front line. His generals had long since no hope to convince him. They had almost accepted the reality and were ready to usher in the final destruction.

The telegram was sent by Goring. The reason for this fat pig to generate electricity is very simple. He said: "Given that the Head of State is in a bad condition and you are not able to deal with the current complex situation. Can I authorize me to handle state affairs on your behalf? I think it is time for my Allies to negotiate so that all this can be concluded as soon as possible!"

Hitler tore the telegram to pieces, and he cursed: "Goring is a lazy guy, he destroyed the Air Force! He, our country's *, is the precedent he set! In addition, he has been addicted to drugs for many years, and I have known it for a long time! Now this bastard actually lost his last little shame, and shamelessly attempted to betray me, betray our party, and betray Germany! This is absolutely untolerable!"

After scolding Hitler, he was still not satisfied, so he immediately took out a piece of official paper and started writing: "Removing all positions of Gorene, this traitor must be arrested and tried immediately!"

With the order of the head of state, Goring was finished. All the power he enjoyed was given by Hitler, and when Hitler took back all this, he had nothing left.

Goring's fall was both unexpected and reasonable, but some people did not expect a series of chain reactions caused by Goring's fall. For example, Hitler, the SS leader was ready to fully welcome the death of the Nazis. He arranged his wife and children, transferred a lot of wealth, and even secretly contacted the Allied forces in order to escape the disaster. But what he did not expect was that Hitler, who pushed Goring with one finger, actually pushed him to the same place.

After removing all his posts from Goring, Hitler's anger still did not fade. When he thought of Himmler, his anger had dissipated before, he immediately rekindled. Hitler could not stand betrayal. In his opinion, Goring was openly betrayal, while Himmler was covertly betrayal. But whether it was openly or hidden, it was betrayal, and he must not be polite to the traitors.

Soon Hitler issued a second order to remove Himmler from all positions and also abolish his power as a successor. What is slightly different from Goring's experience is that Hitler did not order Himmler to be arrested.

Himmler really didn't expect that Hitler would do this before the last moment. He almost only had to send a short telegram to his daughter, and was taken away by Hitler's lackey who came to remove him from his post.

On the same day, the two top leaders of the Nazi Party were killed. If the war in Berlin had not attracted the attention of the whole party and the whole country, Hitler's action would have detonated the entire Nazi. However, even so, the shock caused by this action was unprecedented. More and more Nazi party members saw the reality clearly. There would be no miracles, let alone hope. There would be a dead end ahead!

The Prime Minister's Office was still calm, and Fredrich was loyally waiting in front of the head of state's office, as if he was the last loyal dog of the head of state. Hitler was also very satisfied with Fredrich's reliability. He felt that he had underestimated this person before, and with his loyalty and ability, he could not only watch the door for him, but could play a more important role.

During the conversation, Hitler also expressed this meaning: "Frederick, you should take responsibility more actively, and your abilities can be done more. After repelling the Russians, I hope you can go further!"
