In fact, compared to the brutal battle, Shulka thinks that what is more terrifying is the cleaning of the battlefield after the battle.

Cleaning up the battlefield is a necessary process, otherwise corpses will block the passages of the trenches and prevent troops from supporting each other and obtaining ammunition, which will cause a lot of trouble before the next enemy attack.

At this time, you will see the corpses in different forms, look at their appearance, and naturally guess the cause of their death.

One soldier was hiding in the trench, the rest of the place was intact, and the Celestial Spirit Gai was overturned and lying on his back, Shulka at first thought that his other half's head was buried in the earth, until he was lifted up to realize that this was not the case...... The injury was supposed to have been caused by shrapnel, which neatly cut off a third of the head, allowing the brain circuits to be clearly displayed in front of Shulka.

Another soldier sat with his back against the wall of the trench.

He had clearly struggled before he died, and it was evident from the intestines he held in his hands, his own intestines...... The shrapnel tore a large hole in his abdomen, and his intestines flowed to the ground, and his hands were covered in blood, apparently trying to shove them back.

His face was bloodless, his eyes were glazed, and his face was still distorted and convulsed from the pain.

Shulka and the warriors worked together to fulfill the warrior's wish, and they stuffed his intestines back, and the veteran wrapped his stomach tightly with a white cloth.

Compared to these sacrificed soldiers, the wounded may have been much luckier.

They were concentrated in anti-artillery holes waiting to be evacuated.

However, Shulka believes that they do not feel "lucky" at all, as can be seen from their helpless cries:

"Fucking scoundrel, you're just leaving me here?"

"Where are my feet? Can someone help me find it? ”

"Doctor, doctor...... I'm dying, I can't stop the bleeding! ”

……

There are even people who are desperate to scold:

"What are you doing? Those officers, took us to the slaughterhouse! ”

"Why did they do that? We shouldn't be here! ”

……

Shulka understands this phenomenon, they feel that they are indeed on the verge of death, so they indulge their minds and even hope that someone will "shut up" them because of the pain.

The instructor too, so he didn't do anything, but got together with Shulka and smoked.

It was getting dark, the battle was finally over, and one by one the warriors relaxed.

Pukarev walked up to Shulka with his waist bent, rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, and reported to Shulka: "There are many casualties, Comrade Company Commander, there are only fifty-two people left in our company!" ”

"Hmm!" Shulka nodded.

In fact, there are not many people left in the whole battalion now, including the original garrison of the 1075th Regiment, I am afraid that there are less than 300 people.

"We probably won't be able to make it to tomorrow, will we?" The instructor asked.

Shulka was surprised by the instructor's question, because the instructor usually told everyone:

"As long as we fight bravely, we will surely defeat the enemy!"

"No difficulty can stop us from destroying these invaders!"

……

These words are in fact idealism, which completely ignores all objective conditions, such as the balance of forces between friend and foe.

But now, the instructor asks for such things that are not normally allowed.

"Maybe!" Shulka tightened his uniform and replied, "Now, we may only be able to hope for two things!" ”

"Which two?"

"It's colder!" Shulka replied: "Or reinforcements!" ”

The instructor nodded in agreement.

From the corpses of the German soldiers, the instructor knew that they lacked warm clothing, and when he opened the uniforms, he could see that they were stuffed with hay, newspapers, and other things.

Therefore, if the weather is colder, the German army is afraid that it will not be able to hold out or its combat effectiveness will be affected.

And the Soviets will obviously be much better in this regard, they at least do not lack warm clothing.

As for the reinforcements......

The instructors were not optimistic.

"We don't have any extra troops!" The instructor said: "Even if there is, it is a drop in the bucket, or some militia...... You know, they don't make a difference! ”

Shulka nodded in agreement.

With the development of human progressive weapons, it is okay for militias without military training to be used in guerrilla warfare, and going to the battlefield is basically to add a series of numbers to the number of casualties, especially on the battlefield where the two major powers of the Soviet Union and Germany are attacked by powerful tank groups at every turn.

"Will they bring in tanks?" The instructor asked.

Shulka shook his head: "It's useless, the Germans have three divisions, and the mud is covered with ice, which means that they can choose any place to attack!" ”

The instructor sighed with a puff of smoke rings, he knew that Shulka was right, the main direction of attack of the Germans today is here, and the direction of the main attack tomorrow may be somewhere else, and the Soviet tanks can only move at night and cannot maneuver during the day...... If you want to defend with tanks, you can only disperse the defense, but thirty tanks are divided into a dozen kilometers of defense, which is almost negligible.

"Is there no way?" The instructor asked.

Shulka could only smile wryly.

Shulka has also been thinking about this for a long time.

Strategically, Shulka may have been victorious, and he managed to keep the Soviets holding out until now to make up for the gap of a month.

Shulka was confident that even if the Germans broke through Volokolamsk and marched towards Moscow, it would not be possible to capture Moscow.

The answer is obvious.

The Soviets did not devote the main forces of the air force to the battles to support the front, which means that the high command of the air force has been preserving its strength.

Once the Germans reached Moscow, the situation changed...... Although the performance of the fighters of the Soviet Air Force was inferior to that of the Germans, the quality of the pilots was also inferior to that of the Germans.

But the point is that the Soviets have a large number of anti-air balloons in Moscow, these balloons are lined up and down, left and right, steel cables are connected in the shape of cobwebs, and some are hung with small bombs.

Combined with anti-aircraft fire, the Soviets could completely isolate German fighters to some extent.

As a result, it was possible for Soviet fighters to strike at German armored forces from the air.

Even this could not be stopped, and there were still difficult street battles after entering Moscow.

What's more, the Far Eastern Front is also on its way......

In other words, at this time, the strategic goal of the German army to attack Moscow could not be accomplished, but they did not know it, or Hitler was unwilling to give up, and still continued to attack with a glimmer of hope.

There was nothing wrong with this, the problem was that Shulka was on this front line and could be crushed by the tracks of German tanks at any moment.
