Urban fierce battle

In view of the fact that the Soviet army had arrived at the gates of Berlin, Hitler decided to evacuate the German high command from Berlin, and he himself left "Surviving with Berlin". He ordered all staff officers and civilian personnel of military organs to take part in the battle without exception, and decided to execute the commander who stood still within five hours, and not only the retreating officers and men, but also hung signs on them such as "deserter", "coward" and "He betrayed the country and defiled the German nation". At 3: 00 pm on April 20th, the long-range artillery of the 79th Army of the 3rd Assault Group Army in Belarus 1 Army was first fired at Berlin. After nearly a day of fighting, the German defence near Berlin was broken. The German wehrmacht suffered heavy losses and was extremely tired in the previous battles, and could not stop the powerful assault of the dominant Soviet Red Army. On April 2 1 day, the 2nd Tank Army and the 47th Guards Army breached the Berlin Gate. Due to the narrow roads, the Soviet army adjusted its tactics, coordinated the tank army and the joint forces of various services and arms, and prepared to destroy the remnants of the enemy. On the same day, Ukrainian 1 Army tanks also approached the Berlin defense circle. Konev strengthened the 1st 10 Army, 25th Assault Division and 23rd Anti-aircraft Gun Division to the 3rd Guards Tank Army as air cover to annihilate the 2nd Aviation Army. On the same day, the Soviet army transferred large-caliber fortress guns from the rear to destroy German strongholds, each weighing 500 kilograms. In the battle of 13 days, the fortress gun fired about10.8 million shells, and the battle reached an unprecedented level. On the morning of April 26th, thousands of Soviet planes dropped thousands of tons of bombs and petrol bombs over Berlin. Nearly a thousand guns have been deployed on the ground every mile, and Berlin has suddenly become a dark world. After the bombing and shooting, the Belarusian 1 Army stationed in zhukov sent numerous assault groups and assault teams and rushed into the city from all directions. Because of Stalingrad's experience, Soviet soldiers knew how to occupy a city. Before the attack, the Soviets first bombed the target area with artillery and planes. Under the cover of tanks and engineers equipped with flamethrowers and blasting equipment, the infantry advanced in small pieces, infiltrated from backyards, basements and even underground railways and sewers, and captured every street and building. But Berlin is a city carefully fortified by the Germans, with a complete defense system and very strong fortifications. The closer to the city center, the harder it is for the Soviets to advance. Strong buildings, hidden basements, underground railways, drainage ditches, etc. All of them provided a support point for the German army to advance firepower. Therefore, the Soviets had to fight for buildings one by one, walking through the streets one by one, and every step forward had to pay a great price. At this time, Hitler was still having unrealistic fantasies. He said to Berlin garrison commander Weiderling, "Things will get better. Our ninth army is about to arrive in Berlin, and together with the 12 army, it will carry out a counterattack against the enemy, and the Russian army will suffer the worst defeat in Berlin. " The German generals who always "reported good news but not bad news" to Hitler made their heads of state fail to understand that the Ninth Army commanded by General Busch was deployed in the southeast of Berlin, surrounded by several Soviet divisions and could not move to Berlin. 12 Army, led by General Wenk, is defending the Elbe River in the southwest of Berlin and trying to approach Berlin. However, due to the containment of the US military and the sniper of the Soviet Union, it was impossible to move forward after entering Fitch. Hitler, who was almost isolated from the world, stayed in the underground bunker of the Prime Minister's Office and did not know the above situation. He still keeps sending out wireless telegrams with his signature and sending troops. In fact, some generals no longer resolutely carry out his orders. On April 27th, the Soviets had invaded District 9, Berlin, and keitel sent a telegram telling the truth to Berlin. The telegram admitted that 12 Army could not advance and 9 Army could not break through. Hitler's last hope was dashed. Weiderling, commander of the Berlin garrison, put forward Hitler's plan to break through the capital, and guaranteed that "the Fuehrer would leave Berlin safely". He also reported that ammunition was only enough for two days and nights, and food and medicine were running out. General krebs, Chief of Staff of the Army, supported Weiderling's breakthrough proposal and thought that this plan was possible from a military point of view. However, Hitler realized that he had completely lost the war he started and refused to leave Berlin. He wants to stay here until the last moment of his life. On April 28th, the Third Commando Army and the Eighth Guards of Belarus 1 Army advanced to the Tier Garden area in Berlin, which was the last support point of the defenders in Berlin. Because there are the highest-level organs symbolizing the power of the Third Reich, such as government offices, parliament buildings and high command, garrison headquarters in Berlin deployed the most elite SS troops here. The 8th Guards under the command of General Cui Kefu first attacked this position. In the afternoon, it crossed the Randviir Canal, occupied the communication hub of Germany and cut off the main communication links between Berlin and the outside world. In the middle of the night, under the command of General Kuznetsov, the 3rd Army stormed the Ministry of Internal Affairs building outside the Parliament Building. The Germans made desperate but tenacious resistance, and the fighting continued until the night of the 29th. Almost all the enemy troops on the defensive were killed and the building was captured by the Soviets. On the morning of 29th 1, Hitler announced that he would hold a wedding with eva braun, who had been waiting for him for twelve years. After the wedding, Hitler dictated his will and appointed Admiral of the fleet Deng Nici as his successor. He decided to commit suicide and hoped that the couple's remains could be cremated in the Prime Minister's Office. At 3: 30 pm on the 30th, Hitler and his wife, who had been married for only one day, both committed suicide by taking poison in the bedroom of the underground bunker. Moreover, while taking poison, Hitler also pulled the trigger on his temple with a gun. Then, Goebbels and others carried the bodies of Hitler and Eva to a crater in the garden of the Prime Minister's Office and poured gasoline for cremation. At 2 1: 50 on April 30th, Soviet soldiers planted the red flag of victory on the dome of the Parliament Building in Berlin. The battle for Soviet troops to capture the Parliament Building is still fierce, and the Third Assault Group Army 150 Infantry Division is the closest unit to the Parliament Building. At 6 pm on the 30th, Soviet soldiers attacked the building again. Nearly2,000 Germans entrenched here are worthy of being the "guardians" of the Third Reich. Their tenacious resistance made the Soviet army pay a heavy price for every step forward. In a bloody battle, even if the Soviet army occupied the floor below the building, the Germans guarding the building refused to surrender, so the Soviet army had to fight the defensive enemy layer by layer, and fierce battles were going on in every corner of the building. Relying on the powerful forces pouring into the building, the Soviet army crushed the resistance of the enemy defenders one by one. At 2 1: 50, Soviet heroes Sergeant Mikhail Yegorov and Corporal Meltan Kantariya planted the Soviet red flag on the dome of the main building of the Parliament Building. Late at night on the 30th, the Germans radioed for a temporary ceasefire and demanded negotiations with the Soviets. At 3: 55 a.m. on May 1, General Klebers, Chief of General Staff of the German Army, ran out of the underground air-raid shelter of the Imperial Office with a white flag and went to the front command post of the 8th Wei Army for negotiations. Krebs said to Cui Kefu, "I want to tell you something absolutely confidential. You are the first foreigner I informed. Hitler committed suicide yesterday. " Krebs asked the Soviet Union to call a truce first, and then negotiate after the German government was formed. Cui Kefu immediately reported the situation to zhukov by telephone. 10 minutes later, Stalin sent the highest order from Moscow: "The Germans can only surrender unconditionally, without any negotiations, without negotiations with krebs or any other fascists." At 9: 45, according to Stalin's instructions, zhukov, on behalf of the Soviet army, issued an ultimatum to the German army in Berlin: the German army must surrender completely, otherwise the Soviet army will carry out the final storm on the German army at 10: 40. Cui Kefu Jankler Bos brought the ultimatum back to Goebbels and others. After seeing the ultimatum, Goebbels knew that there was no room for bargaining, and he committed suicide that night with his wife and six children. At 7 o'clock on May 2, General Weiderling, commander of the German Berlin Yugoslav capital, went to the frontier command post in Cui Kefu and signed the surrender order. By noon, the remaining 6.5438+500,000 defenders in Berlin had all surrendered. At this point, the last decisive battle of the Soviet-German war-the Battle of Berlin ended. In this campaign, the Soviets annihilated 6.5438+0.000 Germans, captured more than 480,000 people, destroyed and captured more than 6.5438+0.2 million tanks, more than 6,000 self-propelled guns, and destroyed and captured 23,000 guns. The Soviets also paid the price of 300,000 casualties. 1945 On May 9th, entrusted by Hitler's successor Deng Nici, the German high command, on behalf of Marshal keitel, Admiral Stump Pfeiffer and Admiral Fredborg, formally signed the unconditional surrender letter to the Soviet Union and its allies in the canteen of the Berlin Institute of Military Engineering. Three months later, with the defeat and surrender of Japan, the Second World War ended in the complete victory of the allied forces.
