Chapter 793 German-Soviet War (92)

Dense shells fell like raindrops. The building where the Soviet army was stationed was hit by at least seven or eight shells. The heavy machine gun that was firing wildly a second ago suddenly stopped firing, and the infantry gun that had just been pushed out was blown into pieces.

"Ura!" The soldiers of the Restoration Army on the opposite side roared and rushed towards the Soviet building with their weapons. Although a few unlucky guys were shot and fell on the way to charge, most of the soldiers still rushed through this short distance safely and rushed into the Soviet building.

"Tu! Tu! Tu!" The firepower of the weapons of the Restoration Army soldiers was much stronger than that of the Soviet army. After a short and fierce exchange of fire, they killed more than a dozen Soviet soldiers and occupied the building. A flag was hung on the top of the building.

Then they arranged guard posts, arranged machine gun positions, and quietly waited for the possible counterattack of the Soviets; everything was in order. They had been on the battlefield for a full half month, and the soldiers who could not keep up with the rhythm of the war had long been eliminated and fell in a corner somewhere. The remaining people were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. They were good at fighting and almost never made mistakes. The only thing that could take their lives was luck.

Suddenly, there was a roar of engines in the sky, and a helicopter whizzed past their heads. A soldier on the ground stared blankly at the helicopter whizzing past the window and muttered a few words. Before, these helicopters could only be seen occasionally, but since the past two days, they can be seen at least a dozen times a day, and the helicopter numbers are different every time. It seems that the German army has sent hundreds of helicopters into battle. But this is also a good thing for them. They enjoyed the fire support of helicopters two days ago.

The soldier next to him asked casually. "What did you say?" The roar of the helicopter made him unable to hear what the other party said clearly.

The soldier pointed to the helicopters flying away in the sky. "Those helicopters, the propellers are clearly on top, how can they fly forward?" According to the propeller layout of other aircraft, shouldn't these helicopters fly upwards?

Another soldier smiled and said. "This is a really profound question. I can't answer it. Why don't you ask the platoon leader?" Before he finished speaking, a gunshot was heard from the sentry post, indicating that the Soviet army had launched a counterattack.

"Prepare for battle!"

Everyone immediately checked their weapons, and the MG3 machine gun began to roar. The Soviet troops that swarmed in were knocked down one after another by bullets, and blood splattered, making everything around them shrouded in a red atmosphere; but they still attacked one after another.

"Tank!" A KV-1 tank appeared behind the Soviet army, moving slowly forward in the ruins. "Panzerfaust, get ready!" However, the German platoon leader looked a little serious. The effective range of the Panzerfaust was only 100 meters, and the two tanks could bombard their own positions from two or three hundred meters away to cover the infantry attack, which was quite disadvantageous to them. "Communicator, contact the artillery position! Prepare artillery support!"

At this time, another helicopter flew over the sky and found the battle on the ground. It turned in the air and tilted its nose slightly downward. With a bang, dense rockets were fired at the KV-1 tank.

The armor on the top of the tank was quite weak. Under the attack of the rocket, the KV-1 tank exploded. The Soviet infantry following the tank was in trouble. The ones close to it were silent, and the ones far away fell to the ground and screamed.

After destroying the tank, the helicopter still did not leave. A 7mm heavy machine gun and a 40mm grenade launcher on the hatches on both sides fired wildly at the ground, knocking the Soviet army to the ground. In the end, the Soviet army left more than 300 bodies and retreated in embarrassment.

In the command post in the rear, Commander Sigmund Wilhelm List, who was responsible for the attack on Stalingrad, was drinking coffee leisurely, watching the small flags inserted on the map increase and increase, which had exceeded half of the map. "If this continues, the Soviets won't last more than two months." Just thinking about Smolensk, which had already surrendered, he still felt that two months was too long, and he wished he could capture the entire Stalingrad tomorrow.

But this was also helpless. After all, the troops attacking Smolensk were the main street fighting troops of the German army, and he couldn't match them in this regard.

"Doesn't this Vasilevsky have any plans to surrender?" Look at how happy Shaposhnikov of Smolensk surrendered. He hoped that Vasilevsky would surrender so simply. But he had already scattered leaflets persuading surrender in the city several times, and there was no sign of surrender so far. It seemed that he could only fight to the last soldier.

Vasilevsky certainly had no plans to surrender. He had already made up his mind to live and die with Stalingrad. But he had to admit that the "death" of Stalingrad was only a matter of time. In the original time and space, Stalingrad could constantly add new troops. The competition between the two sides was not about how fast the attack was or how elite the troops were, but how many troops the two sides continuously invested, and how long these troops could be consumed by the other side.

Now the Soviet army in Stalingrad only has 1.2 million troops assembled before being completely surrounded. It is impossible to increase a single soldier, which can be said to be a loss of one less. Moreover, the cruelty of street fighting is obvious to all. Street fighting is like a double-edged sword. It is a self-destructive fighting method that hurts oneself before hurting the enemy. It is also a huge consumption battle that the Soviet army cannot bear.

As for the German army, it assembled the European coalition forces to launch a fierce attack, and the German army's own losses were quite small; even if they eliminated 1 million European coalition forces, the German army's losses might not even be 100,000, not to mention that they failed to eliminate 1 million enemy troops.

Another more troublesome problem is the German snipers. Although there were harassments from German snipers before, the complaints about snipers increased several times after the German street fighting troops joined the battle. It seemed that the whole city was full of German snipers. They easily shot and killed Soviet troops hundreds of meters away, and these German snipers never seemed to act alone, but in groups. Yesterday, two squads of our soldiers rushed into the building where the German snipers were hiding. As a result, when the follow-up troops arrived, they found that the soldiers of the two squads were annihilated, and the German snipers had disappeared.

The Soviet army did not think about sending its own snipers to fight with the other side, but soon found that these German snipers far surpassed the Soviet army in terms of quantity, military quality, and even weapon performance; even if they fought each other, the Soviet army would suffer losses. The final conclusion was that they could only ignore the German snipers and endure the losses caused by the German snipers!
