Eight Hundred and Eighty-Two Continuous Routes

Stalingrad used to be a city that made the Soviets proud. It was once one of the fastest-rising metropolises in the Soviet Union. It was named after the contemporary leader Stalin, which shows its status in the entire country.

But now the city has been completely reduced to hell-like ruins. And in the ruins, there are countless soldiers from both sides fighting fiercely. Every minute or even every second, soldiers die here just to fight for the ruined city under their feet.

The German army invested a dozen new divisions of volunteers here, led by German officers and soldiers, and launched a tide-like attack on the Soviet army. Bulgarians, Yugoslavs, French, British, Romanians, and Italians all fought in the city for future freedom for themselves and for their loved ones.

More, in fact, are Ukrainians and Belarusians. They hate the Soviets who killed their hometown. They hope that at this time, they can stand up and fight for the Third Reich, and use their steel guns to fight for their dead brothers and sisters. They revenge.

Several Ukrainian soldiers, wearing anachronistic black SS uniforms and helmets. Clumsily pushing a 75mm infantry gun in the ruins, this field gun was produced by the French, and the 4 shells came from Belgium. The bodies of these Ukrainian soldiers are covered with dust, which has already made the black military uniforms lose their original color. In this kind of war environment, the dust on their bodies and the beards on their faces are insignificant and do not need to be taken care of at all. .

They pushed the wheels of the cannons forward bit by bit with difficulty. There was a layer of rubber coating on the edges of the cannon wheels to reduce wear and vibration, but now it has almost been worn away, leaving only the metal-wrapped Wooden wheels. In order to reduce the use of rubber, many equipment of the German army cut corners, and the soldiers on the front line are also used to it.

Compared with the German army's own field artillery, which is the short-barreled 75mm infantry artillery, the French cannon is much better in performance except that it exceeds its own weight and is inconvenient to accompany the armored forces. After the self-propelled artillery was produced and began to equip the troops, the German infantry began to eliminate their own small and lightweight 75mm infantry guns, and equipped a large number of French 75mm field guns.

These Ukrainian soldiers finally pushed the artillery across the place where the collapsed building was originally, and pushed the cannon onto the offensive position where the Germans were located. In front of this group of soldiers is a building that has collapsed in half. Inside this building, there are about a dozen of the same Ukrainian soldiers defending.

The task is very simple. Under the cover of friendly fire, push the cannon out from the left corner of the building, and then directly bombard the opponent's position, drive the Soviets there out of the building where they are, and then launch an attack to occupy there. This kind of mission is performed several times a day, and everyone is already familiar with it, so after a slight arrangement, the entire Ukrainian infantry company of the German army began to act.

The gunfire began to intensify, tracer bullets shuttled back and forth between the two buildings,

The bullets hit the thick traditional Russian buildings, leaving only a mottled bullet hole. Traditional Russian buildings have distinctive features. In order to resist the cold winter, the windows are extremely small and the walls are extremely thick-every building is a natural fortress, extremely strong.

"Hold hard! Push hard!" A Ukrainian squad leader loudly encouraged his subordinates. They chanted slogans desperately and pushed the heavy cannon from behind the building occupied by friendly forces to the street next to the building. The Soviet soldiers obviously saw the changes here, and the bullets began to shoot over densely.

A Ukrainian soldier was shot and fell down, but more Ukrainian soldiers lowered their heads and pushed the cannon to the designated position. A shell was pushed into the bomb bay, and several artillerymen frantically shook the cannon. Angle control handle, and quickly aimed the cannon at the target to be fired.

"Fire! Fire!" Holding his helmet with one hand, the Ukrainian officer curled up behind the artillery shield shouted loudly to his subordinates, and then there was an earth-shattering bang, and all the gunshots in his ears disappeared. It was gone, only the humming sound remained.

"Boom!" As the artillery spewed out a cloud of white smoke, the opposite building, which had already collapsed in half, and next to a Soviet machine gun position that was constantly spewing out flames, immediately bloomed a huge flame formed by a huge fire. flowers. Broken bricks, floors, and chandeliers all fell down, and thick smoke billowed several floors high.

The Soviet heavy machine gun that was shooting wildly just now broke and rolled down from the ruins of the second floor, and made a crisp sound when it fell on the concrete floor. As this machine gun position was destroyed by a single shot by the German army, the Soviet army in this building did not have a reliable firepower pillar.

"Attack! Machine gun cover!" A German commander commanding these Ukrainian soldiers shouted loudly. Following his shout, these Ukrainian soldiers began to jump out of their bunkers without hesitation, carrying their rifles, and rushed to Opposite Soviet positions.

This moment is their moment of revenge. Before they go to the battlefield, they have to do two things. One is to read a letter from their family who lived a happy life after being allocated the fields. miserable life. Now it's time for their revenge. As long as they kill all the Soviets, they can give the whole of Ukraine a better future.

The mg4 machine gun started to fire wildly, and the sound of tearing linen was always so clear on the battlefield. Whenever this sound starts to roar, it means that many Soviet soldiers have died, and it means that the horn of the German attack has been sounded.

On the originally not spacious street, one after another Ukrainian soldiers rushed from this building to the opposite building. From time to time, someone was shot and fell down, and from time to time someone was beaten into a hornet's nest by the bullets from the opposite side. Still, they covered a short distance and rushed into the building where the Soviets were stationed.

"Bah!" Leaning outside the window, a Ukrainian soldier raised his Mauser rifle and fired a shot inside. The Soviet soldier who was trying to get out of the door was shot in the back, and just lay down at the door. More soldiers entered the building through the broken and collapsed walls. The two sides fought in several rooms. After a dozen Soviet soldiers were killed, a German officer had a huge national flag hung on the building. on the roof of the building.

The Ukrainian soldiers have been on this battlefield for a full 20 days. During such a long time, those soldiers who could not adapt were eliminated by the cruel battle early and died in a corner of a certain ruin here. The rest are used to everything around them, just like the German army, they are now able to fight well and almost never make mistakes.

Hurry up, the German army set up a simple machine gun position in a hidden low place, and set aside a rifle trench for leaving. Most of the infantry scattered around the building, leaving a hole Scouts for sentry. A three-dimensional defensive position was thus completed, quietly waiting for a possible counterattack by the Soviets.

Unlike the history in another time and space, the German army fought more organizedly in the street battle of Stalingrad this time. The N Army in the hands of Küchler was obviously more suitable than the Sixth Army in the hands of Paulus back then. Street fighting - the German army in the hands of Akado is much stronger than the German army in Hitler's hands, so now Küchler is more than capable, while Paulus is careless.

Küchler outlined dozens of small squares in Stalingrad, and he drew all these areas on the map. The squares next to the front line are marked with red to represent dangerous areas; the areas separated by red squares are represented by blue. It may be infiltrated by the Soviet army; it has been occupied for more than 5 days, and the areas where no Soviet troops have appeared are green-these grids are relatively safe.

In the red and blue grids, the German army organized several layers of defensive circles with heavy troops to ensure that the Soviet army could not penetrate into the green grids and let the Germans bloom behind them. Then in the green grid, the German army used special forces to comb repeatedly to ensure the absolute safety of these areas.

This style of play allowed the German army to advance very slowly, but it was almost one step at a time. So far, no Soviet army has recaptured the green grid, which is proof of the success of Küchler's tactics. According to the firm implementation of this set of tactics, Küchler only needs 3 months to drive the Soviets out of Stalingrad, but this is the result that Rokossovsky does not want to see.

"Obviously." Küchler said to his subordinates in his headquarters on the outskirts of Stalingrad: "My opponent Rokossovsky will not be so willing to fail, I wait for him The counterattack, this counterattack will definitely appear."

What he didn't know was that the seemingly good-looking underground bunker headquarters he was in was actually Rokossovsky's frontline headquarters two months ago, where Rokossovsky personally commanded The battle for the railway bridge, as a result of that battle, the German army finally captured the railway bridge inconceivably, and Rokossovsky had to lose.

"A report from the Air Force said that their bombing effects on the routes on both sides of the Volga River were very ineffective. The pilots were not trained to attack targets on the sea, and the accuracy of bombing was very low. This also caused the Soviets to easily complete 80% of the bombing Transportation of personnel and materials." The chief of staff said helplessly to Küchler: "They said that at least three divisions of Soviet troops have entered Stalingrad by using the Volga River route these days."
