Big Time 1958

Chapter 43: Guards 65 Tank Regiment

The Western Cluster troops stationed in Germany are the most elite troops of the Soviet Union, and any of them are star troops that have made great achievements in World War II. In fact, there are not many Soviet troops stationed around Berlin. This is because Berlin is, after all, a democracy. The capital of Germany, the Red Army of the Soviet Union wants to take a non-interfering attitude in internal affairs, so the garrison of the Western clusters are all in other cities in the GDR, and even the headquarters is preparing to move out of Berlin, and preparations have already begun. There is only one Soviet Red Army unit around the city of Greater Berlin, the Guards 65 Tank Regiment.

Kalala…, the sound of the tank’s tracks is from far to near. The tracks are accompanied by the friction of the road cement. It expresses the unique beauty of the modern war machine in a rather spectacular way. This is the Sherman tank. World War II propped up the U.S. Army from victory to victory on all fronts.

The American and British soldiers who were confronting the GDR internal affairs troops also heard the familiar crawler sound and looked back one after another, and then a huge cheer broke out. The assistance of the two tanks made their momentum of being suppressed by Shelov once again condensed.

The Sherman tank with the American flag driving slowly, in the downtown area of Berlin, brought a different kind of shock. The appearance of the tank made the surrounding Berlin residents take two steps back. Looking at the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union with a nervous look, a few people who thought too much thought about the possibility of a third world war.

In the end, the two Sherman tanks stopped at a distance of five meters from the barbed wire, which made Shelov feel relieved. The Sherman tank is indeed a symbol of an era in the U.S. Army. It has outstanding achievements and battles! But there’s only one problem, it’s too old!

Asking the GDR Internal Affairs Forces to evacuate the onlookers in East Berlin here, Serov turned a blind eye to his gun barrels, and sneered loudly in a yin and yang tone, “Look what I see? Mann tank, unique road wheel design, bald head-like turret, toothpick-like main gun. This grandfather-level tank is still in the service ranks of the West Berlin garrison. I express strong protest against this, because I It’s not fair to be unable to find a Soviet T34 tank to face off…”

Shelov’s words were transmitted to the American and British soldiers along with the loudspeaker, which made the American and British soldiers who were fighting with swords froze, and the joy brought by the two Sherman tanks disappeared without a trace. Isn’t it obvious that they are backward in equipment? When was the American soldier said to be behind in equipment by other countries? Aircraft carriers cruising across the oceans can attest to…

Well, that’s the Navy! After thinking about it for a long time, the confronting American and British soldiers had to admit that they seemed to be a little behind in terms of army equipment, “Why don’t you have a Churchill tank? Isn’t it not good to have one less protagonist in such an antique display? If you can Looking for two Churchill tanks, I will definitely go to the abandoned weapons warehouse to get two T34s…” Serov’s annoying Su’s English is always destroying the psychological defense lines of American and British soldiers. I don’t know what Sheloff is talking about.

“Who taught that Soviet English!” The thick steel plate couldn’t stop Serov’s continuous ridicule of American tanks, which made the armored soldiers in the tank want to shoot and kill this chattering Soviet general. Stevenson in the tank, he wanted to show his tough attitude, who knew Shelov turned a blind eye to the threat of the Sherman tank.

Finally, Stevenson couldn’t bear it anymore, Huo pushed open the top cover of his head, stretched half of his body out of the cabin, pointed at Serov and scolded, “The head of the secret police on the opposite side, don’t think that a barbed wire blockade will be enough. shackle freedom…”

“Huh? Then try it? Dare to knock down the barbed wire, I can guarantee that you must be killed on the spot!” Seeing Stevenson’s appearance, Sheloff was stunned for a moment. At this time, the Sherman tank was completely dispelled. The worry rushed over, and the mouth became more vicious, “The Sherman tank is nicknamed the battlefield lighter, as the US negotiator, even if we are the enemy, I am more worried about your life, Comrade Stevenson, cherish life. , stay away from Sherman…”

“Shut up, Soviets!” Stevenson suddenly got into the top cover again, and two seconds later, the loudspeaker he didn’t know where to find it reappeared, maybe it was in the tank, “You are not qualified Insulting the quality of Made in America…”

There was a sudden brake, and the reporters who rushed out of the convoy just got off the car, and the cameras in their hands kept flashing, taking pictures of the two sides facing each other across the barbed wire, especially Stevenson on the tank and surrounded by soldiers in the middle. Sheloff is also the focus of the reporters. Some titles such as the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union and the imminent war have already flashed in my mind.

There are barbed wire, there are tanks, there are soldiers in full armor, all the news breaking points are ready. Some reporters took out the pen and paper in their hands, ready to jot down the conversation between the two as a record.

“Stevenson, don’t show your imperial majesty here, this is Berlin!” Shelov stood tall and straight like a javelin stuck on the ground, and said loudly, “The troops of your three countries guarding West Berlin are only more than 10,000 people. It also includes a small half of the secret service, which is not enough for the GDR People’s Army to stab in the teeth. Where did the courage to make such a provocative move come from? A group of cannon fodder, if the two sides go to war, you will all be in the prisoner of war camp in two hours. When you’re done playing, go back to dinner, I don’t have time to play in the mud with you guys…”

Opposite the barbed wire fence, another car stopped. Judging from the flag on the car, it was the car of the representative of France. Sure enough, the French representative walked in the middle of no one else, and said in a neutral attitude, “Our French attitude is very clear, the European continent should not be devastated by war, and the irresponsible confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union should not be carried out. , France has reservations about it…”

The scene here is getting more and more lively. The French representative just appeared on the moral high ground and gave Serov and Stevenson a fierce spray, and successfully added a material to their news.

The United States and the Soviet Union were in confrontation, and France was mediating in the field, but no one took a step back. The two sides stood at a stalemate around a barbed wire, and no one wanted to leave!

At this moment, the sound of rumbling sounded again. This time, the sound of the tracks made the scalp numb. Everyone looked around, but they could not find the source of the sound. Only Serov’s eyes lit up. This dense track Sound, can only be done by the collective dispatch of armored forces, the Soviet Western Cluster Guards 65 Tank Regiment.

Stevenson, who had been observing the situation on the other side, changed greatly, and he hadn’t seen the opponent yet, but the momentum of the armed march had reached his ears through the sound of the tracks, and the first tank appeared on the street corner, followed by the second one. , The T54 tanks traveling at high speed from Santiao Street gathered at the confrontation site like three torrents.

“Whoever dares to destroy the blockade belt and kill him on the spot, I am responsible for all the responsibility!” Serov shouted with all his strength.

“Ulla…” The soldiers of the Soviet Red Army neatly pulled their gun bolts and formed a battle formation here.
