Eight Hundred and Sixty Nine Maps
The appearance of bullets hitting the ruined walls is actually just a set of familiar shots for veterans who are used to seeing the battlefield. Please search () to see the most complete! The closer the update is to the city, the more buildings block people's sight, so the battles usually break out at a very short distance, so the results are often very tragic.
No matter how skilled veterans are, they will inevitably have to pay a price when encountering opponents at close range, not to mention that the German army has invested a large number of recruits. battle. 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 were shooting at the door frantically. The German soldier was shot several times and fell to the door. Blood flowed from his body, stained red Old and dusty floors.
Before the Soviet soldiers in the room were thankful that they fired first and killed their opponents, two German grenades flew into the room from the door, and the explosion rolled up dust all over the sky, spraying out from the door and windows of this room. It marks the complete end of a battle.
The two Soviet machine gunners just collapsed by the window, and before they died, they were still shooting desperately, trying to stop the advance of the German army. Several Soviet soldiers also fell to the ground in a mess. They died in their own positions without taking a step back.
The Germans outflanked the Soviet army from both wings, cut off the rear of the Soviet army, and then occupied the building and cleared the Soviet army inside. In order to seize this commanding height on this block, the German army killed more than 20 people, and the Soviet army also paid a heavy price for the annihilation of 50 people.
There is only one road across, and in another building, German soldiers and Soviet soldiers respectively control one end of the corridor. They shoot wildly across the corridor. The dead bodies of soldiers from both sides are lying in every corner of the entire building. The attack was well prepared, and eventually the Soviet army ran out of ammunition, launched a desperate charge, and all died in the process of advancing.
Farther away, several German soldiers were counting the dead and wounded bodies of the troops. Just now a red-eyed Soviet soldier rushed into the German position with an explosive bag on his back, killing at least 10 soldiers, and one of these soldiers was Names are real Germans.
It is completely 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 Akado, the German army at this time can be regarded as the most capable army in street fighting in the world. Because the German army is good at armored forces, it is not willing to fight in street fighting to consume troops, so it leaves people with the illusion that the German army is not good at fighting in street fighting.
In fact, strictly speaking, at this time in 1939, armies all over the world were not good at street fighting. All armies, including the Soviet Army, did not have systematic street fighting training, but the Soviet Army had more soldiers, and they relied on constant sacrifices to cover up the fact that they did not know how to fight street fighting.
When the German army is hardened,
After fighting needle-to-head street battles with the Soviet army in the city, the two sides realized that street fighting is not the strength of a certain country's army, but just a bloody mutual consumption.
The battle had not been fought for 48 hours, and Rokossovsky already had 2 divisions in his hands that had to be withdrawn to rest. His troops lost more than 10,000 men, and soldiers were killed in their positions almost every minute of every second.
All the senior Soviet generals felt that the German army did not dare to fight too expensive street battles, but now it happened like this. The German army entered Stalingrad and fought a war of attrition with the Soviet army frantically. It is not good news for Ki, at least he found that his troops, like the German army, are not suitable for fighting in cities.
In one day, 3 regiment commanders and 4 battalion commanders of his were killed on the ground by German snipers, and at least 130 cannons were destroyed, including large-caliber 122mm howitzers. The German army approached the outskirts of Stalingrad in an orderly manner, and it is expected to hold the outer line of defense for at least a month, and the German army will be able to smash it to pieces within three days at most.
The elite in his hand, the two armored divisions of the 2nd Guards Front Army, the main defensive zone is the western railway station of Stalingrad. Now the German army is at least 3 kilometers away from there, but in order to block the holes in other directions , 70 tanks have been transferred from the defensive circle of the West Station.
And there are only 8 of these tanks that can continue to fight, and the rest have been destroyed by the surrounding German armored forces. This speed of loss made Rokossovsky once give up the single calculation of counterattack and regain the position, because the cost was too high, he could only watch helplessly as the position was gradually eroded by the German army.
When attacking a row of civilian houses, the German army once again sacrificed their big killer, the infantry multiple rocket launcher, which is what the soldiers laughed as a building demolition device. More than a dozen rockets destroyed the crumbling building and sent the Soviet defenders inside to the sky.
A large number of German troops entered the ruins and set up defensive positions on it. The Soviet army tentatively launched a counterattack. After dropping more than a dozen corpses, the battle stopped briefly. Both sides were trying their best to organize troops. Deal with the more brutal battle scenes that follow.
"These neighborhoods have changed a lot, and our map is a bit outdated." Among the ruins, an officer wearing a dusty raincoat and a steel helmet squinted his eyes at the map in his hand. This map came from a Hand-painted by a spy a year and a half ago, and compared with the Stalingrad tourist guide issued at that time, it is a German military map manual. But now it seems that Stalingrad has changed a lot in more than a year.
"Yes! According to the map, we should still be in the outskirts of Stalingrad." A company sergeant next to him held his helmet with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the map to compare the compass. Confirm where you are now.
"Report this situation to the battalion headquarters! We must find a suitable map so that we can provide accurate coordinates, otherwise the artillery will accidentally injure our own people." While talking, the officer packed up the map in his hand. He was carrying a radio to his side. The messenger commanded: "Notify the 2nd company that will follow up, and ask them to search the nearby rooms to see if they can find something useful, and focus on finding some maps! I can't find a reference to attack."
Another team of German troops also encountered similar problems when advancing. At the corner of a street, they encountered a barricade carefully arranged by the Soviet army. After fighting for almost half an hour, these German troops still could not move forward. They couldn't call for artillery support, because they couldn't tell where they were now.
"All this map needs to be re-marked! It is best to have a map captured by the Soviet army for reference!" A leading German army said to his subordinates. He just called for artillery support, but the shell hit at least one block away. At this time, he knew that the map in his hand should not provide a reference for artillery support.
"Damn it! Aren't we on the left side of the reference building? What's wrong with that? Is it the artillery's own problem? Oh, my God!" The bullet hit the wall and splashed white smoke , a non-commissioned officer curled up in fright shouted loudly.
Any map is drawn by humans, especially maps for combat, which are often secretly drawn by spies with strong professional knowledge. This has led to some maps that 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 the further the war is fought, the more difficult it is: the maps of the border areas are often more accurate because of the thorough penetration. maps have lost their proper function.
"We found a travel brochure next to a fruit shop with a simple map on it, let's see if it can be used!" A platoon leader rushed over with his important discovery, and leaned against the hiding place. On the wall of the building, he spoke while panting heavily.
After receiving the map handed over by his subordinates, the company commander frowned, and his dirty fingers slid across the equally dirty atlas, pressing on their approximate positions: "We are now Already on the outskirts of Stalingrad, Stalingrad is a whole circle bigger than we expected."
He looked up and shouted at the top of the street, "Ruslan! Come here! We need you to see this map in Russian! Damn it! Shoot and cover Ruslan! Fire! Fire!"
"Thuk! Thuk!" The German army who received the order fired wildly from the corner of the street. Some people even poked out their guns from the windows. The bullets flew across the sky, and the firepower of the Soviet army on the opposite side was obviously suppressed. .
A soldier wearing a German military uniform but without a tactical vest ran across the road with his Mauser 98K rifle. A straight line of white smoke was shot behind him by the bullets. In the last few steps, the soldier named Ruslan swooped to complete it. He fell to the ground and fell to the ground, and was helped up by the German soldiers here in a hurry.
"Ruslan reports to you! Lieutenant." The young soldier stood at attention and saluted, panting. Although his German is stuttering, it's not bad on the whole, obviously after some training.
"You are Ukrainian, look at this map." The company commander handed him the travel brochure in his hand, and cursed: "Damn it, we are not here to travel."
