Chapter 909： Blood of the Prussian Soldiers

In East Germany, although there are a large number of Soviet troops stationed, the strength of the People's Army of the GDR is also very strong.

Compared with the two Germanys, the economic development of East Germany has always been inferior to that of the West. Therefore, unlike the fat West German army who worked eight hours a day and clocked in, the East German People's Army has always been the most elite and the most advanced. Troops that can fight!

They have the blood of the last Prussian soldiers flowing.

The toughness of East Germany is almost a metamorphosis. For example, the Soviet front-line fighter MiG-29 has poor reliability and high maintenance costs because of the Soviet Union's industrial base. However, the MiG-29 equipped by the East German Air Force has maintained almost 100% attendance.

Later, when the two Germanys merged, East German pilots beat American planes all over the place with their own lack of detection ability.

Once, the German army was the most powerful army in the world, and the German soldier was also the best soldier. The limitations of the country's economic conditions have determined that they do not have the high salaries and luxury of the West German army, but this undoubtedly avoids the army's extravagant and corrupt atmosphere.

As a Warsaw Pact armed force closest to NATO, the East German army is also the most vigilant in combat, almost always in a state of war.

Their mission is to protect East Germany and, if necessary, to unify Germany by force!

It is a pity that the history of later generations did not give the East German army such an opportunity. When the two Germanys merged, the East German army almost disbanded on its own, any previous honors were revoked, and no one would remember them.

The National People's Army and the German Democratic Republic that they have always defended are lost in the vast history. They were the saddest, and at the same time the last legion of the Prussians had vanished.

The German soldiers of later generations are just white-collar national defense workers who clock in to work. They have lost the fighting spirit of the Prussians, and no matter how advanced their equipment is, they cannot become an army that impresses the world.

Different from history, now, the East German People's Army has high morale. In the daytime, they are ready to set off. When night falls, they finally start the most exciting moment in their life history!

From the defensive line of the border, open the gap and rush to the land of the opposite West Germany!

The high gun barrel, the first armor with V-shaped wave shield, and the turret covered with block reactive armor, this is the T-72 tank that has been in the limelight for several years, and it is also the main equipment of the People's Army!

The 9th Tank Division, a heavy armored unit established on September 15, 1956, is the elite of the People's Army. In later generations, it was named the "Heinz-Hoffmann" division in 1986. Army General and Defense Secretary Heinz Hoffman.

The division's three tank regiments, equipped with uniform T-72 tanks, represent its importance. And now, it's also one of the first units to cross the border!

That night, almost on the entire defense line, all the East German People's Army troops were advancing at full speed. At this time, in the middle of the front line, was the 21st "******-Ampa of the 9th Tank Division. Thor" Tank Regiment.

The regiment is equipped with 94 T-72 tanks, 18 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 4 ZSU-23-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 6 BRDM-3 anti-tank missile launchers, 12 2S1 self-propelled howitzers, 8 BRDM- 2 reconnaissance vehicles, 3 BLG-60M bridge tanks.

At this time, the fully-filled tank troop was rumbling forward, and it had been replaced with an infrared imaging night vision device. In the dark, it was possible to see the opposite side clearly.

"Attention, 1,500 meters away, there is a Leopard 2 tank unit, loaded with armor-piercing shells, no fire without orders!" The commander of the 21st regiment, Karl Heinz Marshner, shouted over the radio road.

If the opponent is an American M1 tank, at this time, he will definitely not hesitate to order the fire, but the opponent is a Leopard 2 tank, which is a weapon of the West German Defense Forces!

The people on the opposite side, like our own, are all Germans! Therefore, Captain Carl did not order to fire, but the shells were loaded in, and as long as the opponent moved, he could shoot immediately!

This T-72 tank, like the tank of the garrison in Moscow, has been replaced with a digital system. At the regiment commander, every tank can be commanded at any time. However, Captain Karl still likes to rush his own tank. Up front, it's his style.

Under his leadership, the tanks of the whole regiment were advancing rapidly. The gunner pressed the button, and the automatic loader put an armor-piercing shell with a stable tail and stuffed it into the gun chamber.

In the confrontation with the American M1 tank, the T-72 still has a certain advantage, but against the Leopard 2 tank, they are the first time. They are confident in their gear, though.

In battle, the most important factor is people! And their training has always been the hardest! Now, even in a galloping tank, they are sure to hit the first shot!

However, the opposite side seems very strange. According to the information obtained in advance, the night vision device of the Leopard 2 tank is also very powerful. At this time, you should find your own side, right? Why didn't they make any moves and were still standing there in a daze?

The engine at the rear is roaring, and the T-72 tank is galloping on the land of West Germany. The distance of more than 1,000 meters is coming soon!

"Stop." Carl shouted in the radio. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only a few dozen meters. The infrared image was very clear, and the engine of the tank on the opposite side did not start.

The opponent has no intention of fighting.

In this case, Carl couldn't be too hostile, he ordered his troops to stop, and then opened the hatch above his head.

"Captain, what are you doing?" the gunner on the side asked. Although the other party didn't launch a tank, who knows if this is a conspiracy?

"I went to talk to our compatriots Karl said, got off his tank, faced the opposite side, and walked over.

At this moment, on the opposite side, the tank soldiers of the West German Defence Forces with the same skin color and the same pupils were also looking at him.

Neither side was armed.

Although they are tank soldiers, they also have individual combat weapons. For example, the tank soldiers of the East German People's Army have an AK74 with a short barrel.

"Brothers, I am from the 21st Regiment of the East German 9th Tank Division. We were ordered to support our compatriots and rescue our friend, Mr. Günter-Lar." He took out a cigarette from his pocket. , put it on his mouth, and said to a West German defenseman who had approached: "Is there any fire? Borrow a fire."

In front of him was Werner. At this moment, Werner's hand was still shaking a little. He took out a lighter, lit it, and asked, "Aren't you going to capture us?"

"We are all Germans, we don't beat our fellow citizens!" Karl exclaimed: "We will never kill each other!"

In an instant, the soldiers of the West German Defense Forces on the opposite side were also boiling, yes, we don't hit our compatriots!
