Eight Hundred and Seventy Tourism

"If we were here to travel, we wouldn't have to work so hard!" Just as the German company commander was complaining, a veteran of the German Grenadier was holding his MP-44 assault rifle and violently shot at the opposite enemy. The block fired a magazine of bullets. ( . .  M) His muzzle spewed flames, and the recoil made the muzzle pulsate.

On the opposite side of the street, a cloud of white smoke was blown out around a window. The German grenadier's bullet hit the window, and a Soviet gunman inside fell from the bullet and hung on the window lattice, his arm still shaking. wobbly.

The veteran immediately backed away from the window, bypassed the rubble-covered table, and retreated to the corridor outside the room. The other party obviously found out where he was, and a fierce attack hit the window where he had just emerged. Broken glass and sawdust were flying everywhere, but there was no one in the house.

"Don't stand here stupidly! Follow me, get out from behind! Maybe they will throw grenades in!" The German soldier ran to the stairs, reminding his companions, several young Ukrainian youths followed him Behind, he hurried down the stairs.

They couldn't help running too fast. Just half an hour ago, several people they knew were shot by a precise 75mm artillery shell from the Soviet Army because they were shooting in one place. This bloody fact still reverberates in everyone's mind. in mind.

In this ruins, no one can rely on luck to live to the end, so everyone must sum up the experience and lessons they didn't know before, so that they can live longer. For the Soviet and German soldiers struggling in this ruins, the cruel and bloody days have just begun.

At the corner of the street, a self-propelled quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft gun of the German army slowly drove in. It was surrounded by densely packed German soldiers. They were ordered to attack this block. Under the cover of the enemy, annihilate the active forces of the nearby Soviet army.

As the team advanced, the German armored vehicle finally appeared on the street. The densely packed Soviet bullets hit the bulletproof steel plate on the German anti-aircraft tank, splashing sparks. But these bullets were not able to penetrate the armor of the German army, but left a patch of pitted marks on it.

"Straight ahead! Aim!" The commander of the anti-aircraft vehicle pointed at the position directly in front, and shouted loudly at his subordinates, while the soldiers on the anti-aircraft vehicle were adjusting the top of the tank with their fastest speed. Where the cannon is pointed. The muzzles of the four black holes were pointed at the enemy, and everything seemed to be ready.

"Fire!" With the order of the German commander, the massacre began. The dense 20mm machine gun shells swept towards the Soviet positions like raindrops, and the bricks and tiles were smashed into pieces for a while. ,

The thick brick walls were punctured with numerous holes by shells. The Soviet soldiers behind these walls were shot and fell down one after another. The screams were so insignificant under the roar of the machine guns.

"Forward!" The German army following the anti-aircraft tank saw the shocking scene in front of them, so they gave the order to attack. Beside him, one after another, German soldiers rushed past the anti-aircraft tank and ran towards the enemy. These soldiers bent over to keep their figures as low as possible, carrying their rifles, and quickly shuttled through the rubble of the city.

Although there is a strong covering firepower behind them, even if they are very large in number, they still use the operational rules repeatedly emphasized by the German instructors to regulate their tactical actions. They crossed the street, entered the Soviet position that was still emitting light smoke, and shot and killed the wounded Soviet soldiers who were still struggling inside.

Many of these people are Communists from the Soviet Union. They were ruined by the Great Purge during Stalin’s rule, so they hated Stalingrad, the city named after Stalin, and they were willing to help the German army fight , used to avenge those relatives who died in Siberia.

So these people attacked frantically, and under the supervision of the German commanders, they frantically killed the poor Soviet soldiers. The battle continued fiercely from early morning to evening. The German army paid a price of almost 9,000 people within 48 hours, and finally cut off the last outlying position of Stalingrad, which was connected with the outside of the encirclement. Stalingrad was finally surrounded in the true sense on March 30 and became an isolated city.

"They are not here to travel! So we must hold every position of ours! Give the invaders a head-on blow!" In the Soviet command headquarters, a military commander roared at several division commanders under him. The army has lost almost half of its strength in the past two days. Now the defense line is broken and incomplete, and it is in danger of collapsing at any time.

Rokossovsky's reinforcements had just arrived nearby, and these divisions, which had wiped out a large number of infantry by the Germans, were now ordered to retreat to designated areas and wait for reorganization and replenishment. However, they have lost more troops and weapons than the German opponents who were withdrawn.

"But Comrade Commander, our soldiers have lost too much. They used snipers extensively during the attack, and they also used armored vehicles nearby to support the attack. We are under too much pressure." A division commander rubbed Sweat on the head, while explaining.

His words resonated with everyone. After all, the German army's offensive was not something that infantry units like them could stop. Facing the joint attack of German bombers and artillery, most of the Soviet army's positions became vulnerable, and the German army did not count losses. Offensive, part of the Stalingrad city positions have already fallen into the hands of the Germans.

While the soldiers on the front line were saying these words, Rokossovsky was also listening to his assistants report these problems in the headquarters: "The German army is not as bad at urban warfare as we imagined, they are good at using the ruined terrain, and Frequently changing the designations of the attacking troops, these troops are summing up their combat experience in actual combat, and it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with."

And another thing also made Rokossovsky a little restless, that is, the German army has broken into the city of Stalingrad from the southwest. Although it only captured two blocks, it is really painful. Affecting the fragile nerves of the high-level Soviet army, they expected that the outer positions could hold off the German army for a long time, but they did not expect that the German army basically cleared the outskirts of Stalingrad in just two days of fighting.

The German army, which was temporarily well supplied, carried out several rounds of frenzied bombing of Stalingrad, and a large number of Soviet heavy weapons were destroyed. Rokossovsky had to transfer troops from the east bank of the Volga River to participate in the city defense. The oil warfare method is completely a kind of consumption.

However, the capacity of ships on the Volga River is limited after all, and the German planes are still blocking the transportation of Soviet ships. He didn't wait for anyone, so he tried his best to choose the intermittent period of the German attack, and sent these scattered troops to the front line.

"The total number of enemies reported by our army is 11,700." The assistant lowered his head, looked at a set of data, and said to his superior, "Do you want to send this to Moscow alone? This may be a continuous battle. The army wiped out the most opponents once."

At this suggestion, Rokossovsky fell silent. He doesn't know exactly how many enemies his troops have wiped out, but as far as he knows, only about 7,000 have been formally verified. Of course, the loss of Soviet troops was not the 6,000 claimed, but a full 18,500.

Because the German army used a large number of recruits, the Soviet army was able to basically do two for one. This exchange ratio can be said to be the highest record on the entire Soviet-German battlefield. The German army even played one for one on some local battlefields before. The terrible battle loss ratio of 32 comes.

"Tell the truth about this situation to the direction of Moscow! Otherwise, Comrade Stalin would think that we are not under any pressure here!" Rokossovsky finally gave up his plan to show merit. That's the most important thing, other things are just asking for trouble for myself.

"Yes! Comrade Commander." The assistant nodded, and then retreated with the documents in his hand. In this underground bunker, you don't need to worry about the almost endless shelling of the German large-caliber artillery, but it can be said that it is really dark, and you can only rely on dim electric lights to maintain lighting all day long.

Every shell that falls nearby will make the lights here tremble. In the flickering environment, people can easily feel irritable. Only in the evening Rokossovsky would go out for a walk and take a look at this unrecognizable Volga River transportation hub.

It has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and in the past, it was rarely attacked by wars. People lived and worked here until 1939, which is this year. Two days ago, the city began to be shelled by the enemy. Although the air strikes were astonishingly destructive, they did not completely turn the city into ruins. However, the shelling was more accurate and more targeted than the air strikes. From then on, this place began to move towards destroy.

"Will I go to destruction with this city?" Rokossovsky asked himself, and then he sneered, denying his sentimentality: "I will not give up easily! No matter who the opponent is, I will persist until the last moment! Adjutant! Give the order! Order the reserves of 4 divisions to enter the counterattack and regain our lost positions! I want the Germans to understand the fact that the Battle of Stalingrad has just begun!"
