Doomsday (HoI 2 fanfiction)

[Sophianumg@mer]

FRONT PAGE ARTICLE OF THE TIMES, December 28th, 1949

"The government of the DDR has confirmed the murder of Wilhelm Pieck. The murderers are probably American spies. The American government is waiting for confirmation of this fact by the CIA.
Tomorrow, Wilhelm Pieck will be buried. The new president of the DDR, Walter Ulbricht, will be present, as wel as Stalin and parts of the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee = Nation People's Army).
The Soviet government considers this murder as an attack on the DDR and communism itself.
Experts believe this murder might have major consequences."

KIEV, THE UKRAINE, U.S.S.R., January 1st, 1950

"Vienna, this is Doghouse. Vienna, this is Doghouse. Serial number 11092 AC 9009. Can you hear me?" George was calling Vienna and this time, it was urgent.
"This is Vienna. We can hear you, George. Anything special? You're not calling us according to scheme."
"That's right. I have something urgent to report you."
"Well? What is it?"
"Can you hear those sounds on the background?"
George held the phone in the air, so that Vienna could hear the sounds from the vicinity.
"Do you hear those low sounds? That are bombers flying overhead. Sometimes you might hear an explosion. That's what I wanted to report you: the Soviets have increased military activities since the Christmas murder."
"What kind of activities?" Vienna asked shocked.
"New recruits are being trained and a lot of miltary equipment is moving to the west."
"Wow, we will report this to Washington. Thank you for this information. Over and out"
Vienna hung up and so did George.
George walked home when he suddenly heard the sound of a Lavochkin LA-7 fighter. He looked at the plane and wondered where the plane would land...

FLIGHT 199023, SKY ABOVE KIEV, January 1st, 1950

"This is flight 199023. I'm now in the sky over Kiev and ask to land at Lwow. Do I have permission," Ivan Kozhedub told the airport at Lwow.
Ivan had been the USSR's top ace when it came to this plane. He had killed 62 Luftwaffe planes and was proud of it.
"This is Lwow airport. We give you permission to re-fuel, but you cannot stay long as we expect more planes to land here."
"That's OK, that only makes my arrival in Warsawa airport ahead of schedule. You can expect me in 30 minutes."
"Over and out."

Why do I suspect that for some reason, his plane will be shot down?

Why do I suspect that for some reason, his plane will be shot down?

Instinct?

 

[GeneralHannibal]

Instinct?

Am I right?

 

[Sophianumg@mer]

Am I right?

I don't think so. There are no open hostilities between East and West. Besides, the flight route from Kiev to Lwow is only over commie land.

But I'll promise you: he'll get shot down later on in the story. You are allowed to remember me of that, in case I should forget

INTELLIGENCE REPORT OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, January 5th, 1950

Intelligence sources have report us increasing military activity in the USSR and its satellite states in Eastern Europe since the Christmas murder.
The armies in the following countries have been mobilized: USSR, Poland, DDR, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
The most probable reason for this increase in military activity is the fact that the government of the USSR sees the murder on Wilhelm Pieck as an attack on communism and on the DDR.
Relations between East and West have worsened. Soviets have proposed an alliance between the USSR and all of the Eastern European states. As a reaction, the BRD has improved its relations with the USA and UK. It has also allowed these nations to station more troops on their ground.
We watch the situation keenly.

INTELLIGENCE REPORT OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, January 29th, 1950

Small regiments of the NVA have been fighting with units of the BRD-army since yesterday. These border incidents have attracted full attention of the world leaders.
As a reaction, the leaders of the USA and the Western European states have come together in Bonn and forged the NATO-alliance. All the armies in the BRD are now under NATO command.
Stalin reacted to this by fouding an alliance between the USSR and the East Europe nations, called the Warsaw-pact.
The government of the DDR informed us that if the BRD doesn't stop the fighting, they will see this as a direct attack on their country and declare war.

REPORT TO THE NATO HIGH-COMMAND, January 30th, 1950

The DDR has declared war upon the BRD, because the BRD did not do anything to stop the fighting along the border earlier this week.
The Warsaw-pact has informed us that they'll help the DDR in this struggle.
NATO forces have been ordered to assist the BRD army.

LINZ, AMERICAN OCCUPIED ZONE OF AUSTRIA, February 1st, 1950

Angela Gröter was cooking when suddenly her 8 year old son, Dieter, entered the kitchen. Dieter was upset.
"What's wrong, Dieter" Angela asked her son.
"The Russians are coming!" Dieter replied.
"What?" Angela could not believe what her son told her.
"I was playing in the street with my friends, when a policeman came to us and told us Russians soldiers are coming"
"That means..." She was interrupted by the doorbell. Angela opened the door and looked in the face of an American MP.
"I have to warn you, Ma'am," the MP said.
"For the Russians? My son told me"
"You have to leave this city for your own safety"
Angela wanted to say something, but the MP walked away to warn the neighbours.
Angela walked into the kitchen again, confused. She saw Dieter packing his suitcase. Apparently, he had heard what the MP said. After seeing this, Angela started to pack her suitcase.
Half an hour later, Angela and Dieter locked the door of their house and left. They took their car and drove west, destination unknown.
By evening, they had reached Salzburg and looked for a hotel. On the news they heard that Linz had fallen into Russian hands after a fierce battle in which about 1,000 NATO soldiers had died.

WEST-BERLIN, February 1st, 1950

They were outnumbered and almost defeated. That was what all NATO soldiers in the city knew. From all sides they were enclosed by commie land and they could not be re-supplied, since the NVA destroyed every plane which attempted to help them.

REPORT TO THE NATO HIGH-COMMAND, February 1st, 1950

Today, the first big battles have been fought.
Around 0800 hours, Russians attacked NATO positions in Vienna and captured the city at 1400 hours.
Around 1000 hours, combined NVA and Soviet forces have crossed the DDR border and are advancing towards the city of Hamburg. They are meeting heavy resistance their, since we will not allow the Soviets to have a North Sea harbour.
At the same time, NVA forces surprised NATO forces in Lübeck and captured the city quickly.
Around 1200 hours, NVA and Soviet forces launched a large scale offensive against West-Berlin. After a fierce battle, the city was captured.
In Bavaria, Warschau-pact forces captured the city of Hof, but lost the city around 1900 hours, when NATO forces launched a counterattack.
In Czechoslovakia, everything remains quiet. No Soviet forces operating from that country have been reported.
The situation looks worst for us in Austria, where Soviet forces are advancing quickly and captured the cities of Linz and Graz. We are reinforcing our forces in Austria with troops from Italy.
Later this day, Yugoslavia declared itself neutral.
Enemy air raids have been reported in Hamburg, Lübeck, Braunschweig, Hof, Graz, Linz and Salzburg.
We did air raids upon Rostock, Schwerin, East-Berlin, Vienna and Weimar.

OK guys, I was on holiday the last two weeks, so here is a new update. Please post some comments, otherwise I'll go desperate and that means: end of story...




OUTSKIRTS OF HAMBURG, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, February 3rd, 1950

Lieutenant McSmith, 11th Armored Cavalry Division of the US Army, sat in his dug-in tank. His division had the task to defend Hamburg from the advancing Soviet adn NVA divisions. The commies had tried to capture the city several times, but until now, McSmith had always been able to repulse the attacks, although it had cost him a lot: When the war started the 11th Armored Cavalry Division consisted of twenty tanks and 500 infantry soldiers. Now, the division was down to five tanks and infantry strength was down to 75 percent. He had already phoned NATO headquarters for reinforcements, but apparently NATO General Staff thought they needed their forces elsewhere, leaving the remainings of McSmith's division and a Landeswehr (sort of German militia)-division the only defenders of the city.

ROSTOCK AIRPORT, GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, February 3rd, 1950

Ivan had just landed his LA-7 fighter when Soviet Airforce Commander West called him.
"Ivan, we've been waiting for you," AIRCOM-WEST said, "we've got a mission for you. Briefing in 5 minutes."

Five minutes later, Ivan entered the briefing room, where he saw AIRCOM-WEST and some fighter pilotes.
"Comrades," AIRCOM-WEST started, "as you all know, our forces are close to capturing the stragic important city of Hamburg." Several pilotes nodded. "The strong points of the cities defenders are their communication and their anti-tank batteries. Therefore, we want you to help us. Your task is to destroy enemy power plants and destroy, or at least damage, their AT-batteries." AIRCOM-WEST showed them a map. "We've located an enemy power plant here and two AT-batteries here and here." He pointed on the map.
"Your mission starts at 0500 hours tomorrow. Any questions?"
The men in the room remained silent.
"Very well then. Good luck."

INTELLIGENCE REPORT OF THE NATO ARMY STAFF, February 3rd, 1950

Soviet forces are advancing over almost the whole front in the FRG. Red Army forces are standing at the gates of Hamburg and Kiel. The Soviet advance is stopped there over the line Hamburg, Neumünster, Kiel.
Soviet forces have caputed Lüneburg earlier today and heavy fighting near the cities Braunschweig and Salzgitter. The front in central FRG is now over the line Hamburg, Lüneburg, Celle, Braunschweig, Salzgitter, Fulda.
In southern Germany, Soviet forces are attacking from the GDR and Czechosolvakia, but are meeting heavy resistance. The front there is over the line Fulda, Schweinfurt, Bayreuth, Regensburg (captured by Soviet forces today). Soviet forces are halted by the Donau river here.
In Austria, the city of Salzburg has fallen into Russian hands and practically all of Austria is occupied by Soviets, which can now easily attack Northern Italy.
Enemy air raids have been reported in Kiel, Hamburg, Hannover, Braunschweig, Salzgitter, Kassel, Fulda, Frankfurt am Main, Nürnberg, München, Innsbrück and important bridges over the Donau.
Our air force has raided the cities of Rostock, Schwerin, Magdeburg, Erfurt, Plzen and Linz.

Further events:

Finland, Sweden and Switzerland declared themselves neutral in this conflict.
Soviet paratroopers have captured the Norwegian island Jan Mayen and the Svalbard archipelago. Above the skies of northern Norway, forces of the Soviet and the Royal Norwegian airforce are fighting with heavy losses, especially on Norwegian side.
Soviet subs have been reported in the Northern Atlantic. Also a submarine barrier from Jan Mayen, Svalbard and the Norwegian coast has been reported, making it practically impossible for our navy to enter the Barentz Sea.

The situation in Northern Germany, please note how stretched the NATO divisions are

New update... Let me know what you think about it

HAMBURG, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, February 4th, 1950

Ivan led the squadron that would attack Hamburg that day. He flew in his MiG-15 fighter. It was the first time he flew in one of these planes. The plane could fly 1070 km per hour and had a ceiling of 15200 meters. It was armed with two 23 mm cannons and one 37 mm cannon. For this special mission it also carried 500 kg of bombs.
The seven MiG-15's were told to escort a total of ten IL-28 bombers, who carried 3000 kg of bombs each.

"Sir, I got eyeballs on a squadron of Soviet planes," a lookout with a spyglass shouted, "I count four, no, five Fagot fighters."
McSmith reacted immediately. He grabbed his phone and reported the plane sighting to NATO hq and requested help. When he hung up the phone he told the SAM manning crews to get ready.

They could now see the city. The MiG-15's went first. They lowered altitude and dropped their bombs on the AT-batteries. Suddenly one of the planes turned into a fireball when a SAM round blew the plane's tail off.
"Reporting SAM fire," Ivan told the other fighters, which immediately climbed to make it harder for the SAMs to hit them.

The AT-batteries were badly hurt. One of them could be repaired, but that would take a long time. The other one was completely destroyed. That's fine, McSmith thought, so far these things have saved our asses. Next time Ivan attacks, we're doomed...
"Sir, I can see new planes. I think it are Beagles. I count ten. Ivan is really keen on getting this city, don't you think?"
Indeed he is, McSmith thought, and many others with him.

The Beagles could now see their target: the power plant. The first ones dropped there bomb load on the target, when suddenly one of the bombers saw enemy fighters on their radars. They immediately radioed it to the others.
The Beagles turned around and flew back to Rostock, the MiG-15's encoutered their NATO counterpart: the F2H Banshee.
The F2H's could climb higher than the MiG's, but the MiG's where smaller and faster.
"Enemy fighters, bearing two-four-four"
"Good," Ivan replied, "we fly south, bearing one-four-zero. We must get ourselves out of NATO SAM-range."
The planes turned south with the Banshees in persuit. Suddenly the MiG's turned around, firing their cannons. One of the F2H's exploded in mid-air and another took a hit in his right wing. The pilot bailed out.
Now the MiG squadron and the F2H squadron flew towards each other. Both sides fired their cannons. Two MiG's and five F2H's took hits. The NATO planes tried to escape and climbed. The MiG's couldn't follow them anymore and flew back to Rostock.
Ivan could call this mission a succes, although only three Beagles had dropped their load on the power plant and he had lost one plane and two damaged.
The balance in the battle of Hamburg was about the become out of balance...

RODBYHAVN, DENMARK, February 5th, 1950

The 4th Guards Division of the Danish army was unaware of what was going on. That day, Russian bombers had attacked the small city on the island Lolland. Still, 4th Guards had not been alarmed. Therefore, it was not strange that a Russian landing force caught the 4th Guards by surprise.
Around 0500 hours, a fleet of amphibs landed on the coast and captured the city quickly. 4th Guards got practically annihalated during the attack, since their equipment was older than the Soviets' equipment.
After the area was secured, the 112th Motor Rifle Division (the Soviet landing force) was reinforced by a complete paratroopers division. Now, about 12000 Soviet soldiers were standing on Dannish grounds.

New update... Please give me a comment!

HAMBURG, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, February 5th, 1950

There was a certain tension in McSmith's division. After the devastating air raid by the Soviets the day before, their tank defenses were almost completely destroyed and radio communications were down, since the power plant of the city was destroyed in the air raid.
McSmith had another reason to be nervous: intel reports told him that the Soviet divisions near the city were reinforced and that a new division had arrived on the front.

General Alessandrov was inspecting his troops' positions. His division, the 68th Motor Rifle Division, was about to launch another attack on Hamburg. There had been a stalemate around the city for a long time, but he felt he now had more chance to capture the city, thanks to his comrades in the air force.
Attack in 0030 hours...

Every house looked like a stronghold. Not only were the men of the Landeswehr hiding inside the buildings, the last inhabitants of the city, who refused to leave their city, had collected all the weapons available and were in their houses, guarding them.

The artillery started first. Within seconds, Soviet artillery shells exploded within the city limits. There was confusion in the city, but soon everyone was battle ready.
Soviet infantry advanced towards the city, their guns blazing. Several of them dropped death on the ground, but most of them were already running through the city streets.
Tanks followed them. Alessandrovs tank reached a square, when suddenly their tank wasd sprayed by machine gun bullets.
"Blast'em," Alessandrov told his gunman.
The gunman aimed the turret towards the house from which the firing came.
"Fire," an explosion was heard. The front of the building collapsed and screaming could be heard.
"We got him," the gunman said.
"Drive towards the harbour," Alessandrov ordered.

"Retreat," McSmith drove his tank towards the harbor. This time, Soviet opposition was heavier than normal and the city was lost.
Suddenly, a large Wham!!! was heard as one of the bridges over the Elbe river collapsed. McSmith was waiting for that. He had ordered his engineers to place dynamite under the bridges, to make the harbor useless for the Soviet navy.
After three hours of fighting, the city was captured by Soviet forces.

INTELLIGENCE REPORT OF THE NATO ARMY STAFF, February 5th, 1950

The situation on the front has worsened.
Soviet forces have captured Hamburg, thus splitting our front in two and making it really hard for us to supply our armies in North Germany, Denmark and Norway.
Soviet sub activity in the North Sea has intensified. The subs are hunting for our convoys. Our ASW ships have been sent to the region.
In North Germany, Soviet forces have reached the Nord-Ost See Kanal after capturing Kiel and Neumünster. Their advance has been slowed down there.
In Central and South Germany, the front is over the line Cuxhaven, Bremen (heavy fighting around the city reported), Celle, Hildesheim, Hameln, Kassel, Frankfurt am Main (heavy fighting), Würzburg, Nürnberg, Regensburg, Munich (heavy fighting).
In Austria, Russian forces have reached Innsbruck. Most of the north-south mountain passes are now in Russian hands, making it harder for our forces to reinforce north Italy.
In North Italy, Russian forces have captured the cities of Bolzano and Udine.
Enemy air raids have been reported in Flensburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Bremen, Oldenburg, Hannover, Bielefeld, most of the cities in the Ruhrgebiet, Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart, Munich, Innsbruck, Trento and Venice.
We have attacked targets in Hamburg, Kiel, Rostock, Berlin, Potsdam, Kassel, Leipzig, Erfurt, Prague, Plzen, Salzburg, Vienna and Bolzano.

Furter events:

Russian forces have landed on Lolland, Denmark. This puts them in control of the entrance to the Baltic Sea.
In Norway, Russian forces meet little resistance and are advancing rapidly.
Russian diplomats have put pressure on Japan, making sure that they remain neutral in the conflict.
In Korea, communists have staged a coup and installed the People's Republic of Korea. Resistance against the new regime has been put down by combined Korean and Chinese forces.
Intel reports us that the USSR is trying to persuade China to join their cause in the conflict. So far, China stays neutral.
