Sanssouci Palace is a palace built on a mountain. Almost all buildings are built on a sand dune, so Sanssouci Palace is also called the palace on a sand dune.
In addition to the huge building complex, the garden architecture of Sanssouci Palace is also very commendable. The most famous one is the vineyard in Sanssouci Palace, which is a trapezoidal vineyard composed of six wide terraces. All the grapes
The trees are all from Portugal, Italy and France. The architecture of the vineyard is very unique, using a lot of glass to create a greenhouse effect to promote the growth of grapes.
Now, in this huge vineyard, two armies wearing the same uniforms are engaged in a life-and-death fight.
Both the rebels and the original security forces of Sanssouci Palace are wearing traditional iron-gray German uniforms. The only difference is the helmet. According to the order of William III, the troops guarding Sanssouci Palace have changed their uniforms and removed their guns.
Helmets with head decorations, and the rebels didn't know where they found enough helmets with gun head decorations. This became the best way to distinguish the two armies.
Except for the helmets, the other equipment of the two armies is exactly the same, the same 98b rifle, the same mg0815 light machine gun, the same 1919-style uniforms that were just issued last year, and even their appearance is similar, they are all the same
Blond and blue-eyed, they are all German.
Because of the great disarmament, the remaining German soldiers were the best choice in terms of skills and image. Therefore, these soldiers are actually handsome guys. They can obviously make a living based on their appearance, but now they are doing it for some people.
The will of the enemy is fighting for every inch of territory and continues to fight to the death.
Mr. Colonel, D Company has suffered more than half casualties. Captain Mark once again requested support. In the headquarters above the vineyard, Roy listened calmly to the staff report.
Roy commanded a battalion with the rank of colonel, which was considered a high ranking. In order to match the military rank, Roy established a headquarters. Although the number of people was not too large, it was still able to carry out basic operations. Of course, it was wartime now.
, it seems a bit understaffed.
Ask Carl to take a platoon over and tell Mark that this is the last support and he must hold on until after dawn. Roy is looking down at the Sanssouci sand table in front of him, without any orders to raise his head.
On the sand table in front of Roy, the originally connected iron-gray colors representing the defenders have been fragmented, and the defense line is in danger. The blue-gray coverage representing the rebels is gradually increasing, and is about to compete with the camouflage colors representing Lanfang's troops.
Colors come into contact.
Roy had to defend until dawn before he could get support. Berlin was undergoing a purge, and William III was still unable to determine which troops were his.
Even if there were, it would not be easy to get to Sanssouci Palace from Berlin. Although the distance of 20 kilometers does not seem far, considering the current shortage of fuel in Germany, even if the Germans have enough cars, they do not have enough fuel to start.
them.
The danger of marching overnight is self-evident. If the rebels set up an ambush halfway, it might endanger Berlin and have a greater impact.
Mr. Colonel, do you want to inform Dong Roy's chief of staff Rummenigge to give suggestions?
Although the battle only lasted for more than an hour, more than half of Roy's troops had suffered casualties. Roy had almost no mobile troops left. If the situation continued to deteriorate, they would inevitably be defeated by the rebels one by one, so he notified Lan this morning.
Fang troops are very necessary.
Wait a little longer, and those rebels are probably at the end of their game, and it is impossible for them to organize too many troops. Roy wants to show the combat effectiveness of the German army as much as possible.
The Lanfang army and the German army now have a cooperative relationship. Roy does not want to show weakness in front of the Lanfang people. If possible, Roy does not want to ask the Lanfang people for help, which is almost a shame for Roy.
Of course, if it comes to a critical moment, Roy is not a pedantic person. For Roy, honor is indeed greater than life, but asking for help from friendly forces is not a dishonorable act. On the contrary, because of the participation of Lanfang's army, it is even more
It can prove the tenacity of the German troops.
At this moment, two huge explosions were heard, and Roy's expression suddenly changed: Go and see, what kind of weapon is this?
Roy knew that the German troops were not allowed to possess heavy weapons. Such a huge explosion was definitely not something that could be caused by a cluster grenade. Therefore, the weapons used by the rebels must be found out as soon as possible. Roy's next step
.
Soon, the staff officer who went to check came back panting: Report, Mr. Colonel, the rebels bundled the explosives into explosive packets and lit them before throwing them over. The power was very powerful. Our soldiers either died on the spot or suffered a mental breakdown. Now
Company A's position has been lost and Captain Joachim has been killed.
Although he was somewhat reluctant to report the situation to Dong, Roy still issued the order.
Under the same weapons conditions, Roy would have had enough confidence to continue dealing with the rebels, but when the rebels used heavy firepower, Roy had to ask for assistance.
The Versailles Contract stipulates that the German army is not allowed to have heavy firepower, but in the eyes of this group of professional soldiers, even if they are not allowed to have heavy firepower, they will try their best to have as many powerful weapons as possible, such as explosive packs. This is a very easy decision.
The heavy weapons that can be obtained are not only available to the rebels, but also to Roy and the others.
After all, Sanssouci Palace is a royal palace. If possible, Roy does not want the magnificent building complex of Sanssouci Palace to be destroyed in one day, so even if Roy has explosives, Roy will not use them.
No, I already know. Dong Xingxiu pushed the door open and looked at Roy with sincerity in his eyes: The rebels used unconventional weapons. It is no longer safe here. All non-combatants must be transferred. We also
Be prepared to retreat at any time.
The terrain of the vineyard is undulating, and there are a lot of glass and grape trellises. In fact, it has a great impact on the defenders. Those uneven platforms provide good cover for the defenders, and the lush grapevines also become
The best camouflage for the attacking side. If you want to take advantage of weapons, you must change the battlefield to an area with as flat terrain as possible.
No, this is our position and we will never retreat. Roy persisted and refused to give up the vineyard.
The terrain here is very unfavorable for defense, which is why your casualties are so high. If you don't give up here, even if it is a victory, it will only be a tragic victory. What is the meaning of such a victory? I do not agree to use the lives of soldiers to entangle here.
, there is obviously a better solution, why bother here? Dong Zi didn't save Roy any face.
After all, Roy is still an officer with a background as a staff officer, and he is also a noble, so it is inevitable that he will be a little indifferent to the lives of soldiers. This is normal and a common phenomenon at this time.
My honor requires me to defend my position by standing firm. I will never give up my position until the last moment. Roy still persists.
These words were so decisive that, except for Roy, the expressions of almost all the Germans present changed slightly.
Honor is indeed important, but if there is a better way to defend it, but you still choose the stupidest one, it is really not wise.
Your honor needs you to live to defend it. Maybe you can go to the front line yourself and defend it with your own life instead of taking the lives of the soldiers to defend your honor. Roy, I don't have long. If you still persist
, then my people will withdraw from here, regardless of whether you want to hold on or not. No matter what Roy thinks, Dong Zashi's all good impressions of Roy have disappeared.
Mr. Colonel, B Company has suffered heavy casualties and has withdrawn from the position. If we continue to hold here, we will be surrounded. A military commander with a bandage on his arm came in to report.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Roy, waiting for Roy to make a decision.
Just when Dong Zishi wanted to give up and order Lanfang's first brigade to withdraw from the battle, Roy sighed and finally spoke: ordering the troops to withdraw from the vineyard and retreat to the second line of defense.
Roy and the others still did enough work. Regardless of any unexpected situation, Roy and the others had prepared a response plan.
Of course, a plan is a plan, and execution is an execution. When it comes to the real danger, no plan will be of any use.
Choose wisely. My people have established a defensive position. Let's take a look at ours next. You guys should take a rest first. Dong Zishi gave a thumbs up gesture to express his appreciation, then turned around and hurried away.
After passing the vineyard and going deeper, there is the defense range of Lanfang's first brigade. It is suitable for Dong Zishi to take over the battle at this time.
Roy did not continue to persist. The casualties of his troops had reached the limit. Even if he wanted to continue fighting, he was unable to do so.
In the oak forest about 200 meters away from the vineyard, the soldiers of Lanfang's 1st Brigade had set up a defense line, waiting for the rebels to attack.
In fact, strictly speaking, the woods are not suitable for fighting, but the terrain near Sanssouci Palace is like this. In addition to gardens, there are woods, with only a few grasslands interspersed in between. There is no suitable terrain for setting up positions. Dong Zishi placed the position in the oak tree.
In the forest, it can be considered as simple as possible.
The soldiers of Lanfang's First Brigade are also veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. Facing the upcoming war, the soldiers are not much afraid or excited. Many soldiers are checking their weapons and ammunition, and grenades.
Put it in the most convenient position, or reinforce the position, so that the German soldiers who have withdrawn and are passing by the position are not even interested in taking a look.
This is a team that gives people confidence.
All the German soldiers who passed the Lanfang 1st Brigade position were unconsciously affected, and the wounded soldiers who were moaning in low voices also subconsciously shut up.
