Chapter 868

For the veterans who have been used to the battlefield, the appearance of bullets hitting the ruins is just a familiar set of scenes. The closer to the city, there are more buildings blocking people's sight, so the fighting usually explodes at a very close distance, so the result is often very tragic.

No matter how skilled the veterans were, they would inevitably have to pay a price if they met their opponents at close range. What's more, the German army invested a large number of recruits and launched a bloody battle with the elite Soviet infantry in such a strange environment. Both sides wanted to occupy as many of these buildings as possible, and the dense buildings caused chaos on the battlefield.

A German soldier kicked open a door, and the Soviet soldiers inside shot at the door crazily. The German soldier fell on the door with several shots, and the blood flowed out of his body and dyed the old and dusty floor red.

Before the Soviet soldiers in the room were glad that they had taken the lead in firing and killed their opponents, two German grenades flew into the room from the door. The explosion rolled up the dust all over the sky and spewed out from the door and window of the room, marking the complete end of a battle.

The two Soviet Gunners were so dejected that they fell by the window. Before they died, they were still shooting desperately, trying to stop the advance of the German army. Several Soviet troops also fell to the ground in disorder. They died in their own positions and did not step back.

The German army encircled from both sides and cut off the rear of the Soviet army. Then they occupied the building and eliminated the Soviet army inside. In order to seize the commanding height of the block, the German army killed more than 20 people, while the Soviet army also paid a heavy price of destroying 50 people.

Just across the road, in another building, the German soldiers and the Soviet soldiers controlled one end of the corridor respectively. They shot frantically across the corridor. The bodies of the soldiers of both sides were lying in every corner of the building. The German army was well prepared for the attack. Finally, the Soviet Army ran out of ammunition and charged in despair. All the soldiers died in the process of advancing.

Farther away, several German soldiers were counting the bodies of the casualties. Just now, a red eyed Soviet soldier rushed into the German position with a bag on his back, killing at least 10 soldiers, including a real German.

It is totally wrong to simply think that the German army is not good at street fighting at this time. It can be said that under the guidance of akkado, the German army at this time can be regarded as the most capable of street fighting in the world. Because the German army is good at armored forces, they are not willing to fight in the streets to consume their troops, so they leave the impression that the German army is not good at fighting in the streets.

In fact, strictly speaking, at this time in 1939, the armies all over the world were not good at street fighting. All the troops, including the Soviet army, did not have systematic street fighting training, but the Soviet army had more troops. They relied on constant sacrifice to cover up the fact that they would not fight street fighting.

After the German army and the Soviet Army started a street fight against maimang in the city, the two sides realized that the street fight was not the strength of a country's army, but just a drain of blood.

Before 48 hours of fighting, rokosovsky had two divisions in his hands and had to withdraw. His troops lost more than 10000 people, and almost every minute, every second, soldiers died in their positions.

All the senior Soviet generals felt that the German army did not dare to fight the street battle which cost too much, but now things are like this. The German army entered Stalingrad and madly fought the war of attrition with the Soviet army. This is not good news for rokosovsky. At least his own army is not suitable for fighting in the city, just like the German army.

In one day, three of his commanders and four battalion commanders were killed by German snipers. At least 13o guns were destroyed, including large caliber 122 mm howitzers. The German army approached the outskirts of Stalingrad in an orderly manner. It was expected that it could hold the outer defense line for at least one month, and the German army could smash it in three days at most.

The elite in his hand, the two armored divisions of the second guard front army, the main defense area is Stalingrad's Western Railway Station. Now the German army is at least 3 kilometers away from there, but in order to block the holes in other directions, 7O tanks have been transferred from the defense circle of the western station.

Only eight of these tanks can continue to fight, and the rest have been destroyed by the German armored forces. This degree of loss made rokosovsky give up the single calculation of counterattack to recapture the position, because the cost was too high, he could only watch the position gradually eroded by the German army.

When attacking a row of houses, the German army once again sacrificed their big killers, infantry multi barrel rockets, which are the guys that the soldiers laugh at as building demolishers. More than a dozen rockets destroyed the crumbling buildings and sent the Soviet garrison to heaven.

A large number of German troops entered the ruins and set up defensive positions on them. The Soviet Army tentatively counterattacked. After leaving more than a dozen corpses, the battle stopped for a short time. Both sides were trying their best to organize troops to deal with the more brutal fighting scenes.

"These blocks have changed a lot. Our maps are a little out of date." Among the ruins, an officer, wearing a dusty raincoat and a helmet, squints at the map in his hand, which is drawn by spies a year and a half ago and compared with Stalingrad's travel guide. But now it seems that Stalingrad has changed a lot in more than a year“ yes! If you look at the map, we should still be in the suburbs of Stalingrad. " A company Sergeant next to him holds his helmet in one hand and presses his hand on the map to confirm his current position“ Report this to the battalion! We must find the right map, so as to provide accurate coordinates, otherwise the artillery will hurt their own people As he spoke, the officer picked up the map in his hand. He told the messenger with the radio on his back: "inform the follow-up company 2, and ask them to search the nearby rooms to see if they can find something useful, focusing on finding some maps! I can't find a reference to attack. " The other German army also encountered similar problems when advancing. At the corner of a street, they encountered the barricade carefully arranged by the Soviet army. After fighting for almost half an hour, the German army still failed to move forward. They couldn't call for artillery support because they couldn't tell where they were“ This map needs to be marked again! You'd better have a map of the captured Soviet army to refer to! " Said one of the German soldiers to his men. He just called for artillery support, but the shell hit at least one block outside. At this time, he knew that the map in his hand could not provide reference for artillery support“ blamed! Aren't we on the left side of the reference building? What's wrong with that? Is it the artillery's problem? Oh, my God The bullet hit the wall and splashed a piece of white smoke. A sergeant curled up in fear yelled. Any map is drawn by human beings, especially the map of combat, which is often drawn secretly by spies with strong professional knowledge. This leads to the fact that some maps are not very accurate. After all, it is impossible for spies to set up professional drawing tools on the street. This is also a secondary reason why it is more difficult to fight back in the war: because the maps in the border areas are thoroughly infiltrated, they are often more accurate. The closer they are to the enemy's hinterland, the more difficult it is to draw maps, so that the maps in the hands of soldiers have lost their due role“ Next to a fruit shop, we found a guidebook with a simple map on it. Let's see if we can use it A platoon leader came with his important present, leaned against the wall of the building where he was hiding, gasping and saying. After receiving the map from his subordinates, the company commander frowned. His dirty fingers crossed the same dirty map book and pressed on their approximate position: "we are now in the suburbs of Stalingrad. Stalingrad is a whole circle bigger than we expected." He looked up and yelled at the other side of the street, "Ruslan! come here! We need you to look at this Russian map! son of a gun! Fire and cover. Ruslan, come here! FireStarter! Fire“ Suddenly! Suddenly The ordered German troops fired wildly from the corner of the street, and some of them poked out their guns from the windows. For a moment, the bullets flew, and the Soviet firepower was obviously suppressed. A soldier in a German uniform, but without a tactical vest, ran across the road with his Mauser 98K rifle, and behind him was shot a straight line of white smoke. In the last few steps, the soldier named Ruslan made a direct dive. He fell to the ground and fell into a mess. He was helped up by the German army“ Ruslan reports to you! Lieutenant The young soldier stood at attention and said breathlessly. His German is stumbling, but on the whole, he speaks it fairly well, obviously after some training“ You're Ukrainian. Look at this map. " The company commander handed him the guidebook in his hand and said, "Damn it, we're not here to travel."
