Chapter 869

"If we had come to travel, we wouldn't have had so much trouble!" Just as the German company commander complained, a German Grenadier veteran was carrying his mp-44 assault rifle and shooting a magazine at the opposite block. The muzzle of his gun was blazing, and the recoil made it jump.

Across the street, a window was shot with white smoke. The German Grenadier's bullet entered the window. A Soviet shooter inside was shot and fell down, hanging on the lattice of the window, his arm still shaking.

The veteran immediately backed away from the window, bypassed the table full of rubble, and retreated to the corridor outside the room. The other party obviously found out where he was. The fierce attack hit the window where he had just appeared. For a moment, broken glass and sawdust flew everywhere, but there was no one in the room.

"Don't stand here! Follow me, get out the back! Maybe they'll throw grenades in! " As the German ran to the stairs, he reminded his companions that several young Ukrainians followed him and hurried down the stairs.

They couldn't help running fast. Just half an hour ago, several people they knew were finally hit by an accurate 75mm shell of the Soviet army because they were shooting in one place. This bloody fact still reverberates in everyone's mind.

In this ruins, no one can rely on luck to live to the end, so we must sum up the lessons we didn't know before, so that we can live longer. For the soldiers of the Soviet Union and Germany, who are struggling in the ruins, the cruel and bloody days have just begun.

At the corner of the street, a German self-propelled quadruple antiaircraft gun slowly moved in. Around it, there were a lot of German soldiers. They were ordered to attack the block. Under the cover of the self-propelled quadruple 20 mm caliber machine gun, they annihilated the Soviet troops nearby.

With the advance of the team, the German armored vehicle finally appeared in the street. Dense Soviet bullets hit the bulletproof steel plate on the German air defense vehicle, splashing a piece of Mars. But the bullets failed to penetrate the German armor, leaving a pockmarked mark on it.

"Straight ahead! Aim The commander of the anti-aircraft vehicle pointed to the position in front of him and yelled at his subordinates, while the soldiers on the anti-aircraft vehicle were using their fastest speed to adjust the position of the artillery on the vehicle. The muzzle of the four black holes pointed at the enemy, and everything seemed to be ready.

"Fire!" With the German commander's order, the slaughter began. Dense 20 mm caliber machine gun shells swept the Soviet positions like raindrops. For a moment, the bricks and tiles were broken into pieces, and the thick brick walls were riddled with shells. The Soviet soldiers behind these walls were shot and fell, Scream in the roar of the machine gun seems so insignificant.

"Forward!" The German troops who followed the anti-aircraft vehicle saw the shocking scene and gave the order to attack. Next to him, one by one German soldiers rushed through the air defense vehicle and ran in the direction of the enemy. These soldiers bent down to try to lower their body, carrying their rifles, flying through the rubble of the city.

Although they have strong cover firepower behind them, even though their number is very large, they still regulate their tactical actions with the operational rules repeatedly emphasized by German instructors. They crossed the street, went to the Soviet positions where smoke was still smoldering, and shot and killed the Soviet wounded soldiers who were still struggling inside one by one.

Many of these people were from the Soviet Union. They were devastated by the great cleansing movement during Stalin's rule, so they hated Stalingrad, a city named after Stalin. They were willing to help the German army fight and avenge the death of their relatives in Siberia.

So these people crazy attack, under the supervision of the German commanders, crazy killing the poor Soviet soldiers. The fierce fighting continued from the early morning to the evening. The German army paid nearly 9000 people in 48 hours, and finally cut off the last peripheral position of Stalingrad from the outside of the encirclement. Stalingrad was finally encircled in a real sense on March 30 and became a lonely city.

"They're not here to travel! So we have to hold our every position! Give the aggressor a head-on blow In the headquarters of the Soviet army, a military commander roared at several of his division commanders. These peripheral Soviet troops lost more than half of their troops in the past two days. Now the defense line is incomplete, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.

Rokosovsky's reinforcements had just arrived nearby, and the orders given to the German divisions, which had wiped out a large number of infantry, were to retreat to the designated areas and wait for reorganization and replenishment. However, they have lost more troops and weapons than their replaced counterparts.

"But Comrade commander, our soldiers lost too much. They used snipers extensively and armored vehicles nearby to support the attack. We were under too much pressure." A teacher wiped the sweat on his head and explained.

His words resonated with everyone. After all, the German infantry could not stop the offensive. In the face of the joint attack of German bombers and artillery, most of the Soviet positions became fragile. In addition to the German attack regardless of losses, some of the urban positions of Stalingrad fell into the hands of the German Army. When the soldiers on the front line said these words, rokosovsky was also listening to his assistant report these questions: "the German army is not so bad at urban combat as we imagined. They are good at using the ruins terrain, and frequently change the number of offensive troops. These troops are summing up their combat experience in actual combat, and become more and more difficult." Another thing also made rokosovsky a little uneasy, that is, the German army had broken into Stalingrad from the southwest. Although it occupied only two blocks, it really hurt the fragile nerves of the Soviet Army's high-level. They expected that the outer positions could block the German army for a long time, but they didn't expect that, After only two days of fighting, the German army basically eliminated the periphery of Stalingrad. The German army, which had abundant supplies for the time being, carried out several rounds of crazy bombing on Stalingrad. A large number of heavy weapons of the Soviet army were destroyed. Rokosovsky had to transfer the troops on the East Bank of the Volga River to participate in the city defense. This kind of refueling method is a kind of consumption. However, the transport capacity of ships on the Volga River was limited after all, and the German planes kept blocking the transport of Soviet ships. In this case, he could only transport one regiment across the river and throw one regiment into the battlefield. The time was always waiting for no one. So he tried to select the intermission period of the German attack and put these scattered troops on the front line“ The total number of enemy annihilations reported by our army is 11700. " The assistant looked down at a set of data and said to his boss, "do you want to send this to Moscow alone? This may be the most time that our army has annihilated its opponents in a continuous battle. " On hearing this suggestion, rokosovsky was silent. He didn't know exactly how many enemies his troops had annihilated, but as far as he knew, only about 7000 had been formally verified. Of course, the loss of Soviet troops was not 6000, but 18500. Because the German army used a large number of recruits, the Soviet army was able to basically exchange two for one. This exchange ratio can be said to be the highest record in the whole Soviet German battlefield. Before, the German army even played a terrible battle loss ratio of one for 32 in some local battlefields“ Tell the truth to Moscow! Otherwise, comrade Stalin would have thought that there was no pressure on us here at all! " Rokosovsky finally gave up his plan to show his merits. In this case, it's difficult to respond and get support. Other things are just making trouble for himself“ Yes! Comrade commander. " The assistant nodded, then backed out with the information in his hand. In this underground bunker, we don't need to pay attention to the almost endless bombardment of German large caliber artillery, but it's really dark. We can only rely on dim electric lights to maintain lighting all day. Every shot that landed nearby would make the light tremble. In the environment of flickering and flickering, it's easy for people to get irritable. Only in the evening will rokosovsky go out for a walk and have a look at this already unrecognized Volga River transport hub. It has been prosperous for hundreds of years. In the past, it was rarely attacked by war. People lived and worked here until 1939, this year. Two days ago, the city began to be shelled by the enemy. Although the air raid was extremely destructive, it did not completely turn the city into ruins. However, the shelling was more accurate and targeted than the air raid. From then on, the city began to be destroyed“ Will I go to destruction with this city? " Rokosovsky asked himself this, then he sneered and denied his sentimentality: "I won't give up easily! No matter who the other party is, I will stick to the last moment! adjutant! Give orders! Order the reserves of four divisions to enter the counter offensive and take back our lost positions! I want to let the German understand the fact that the battle of Stalingrad has just begun! "
