I'm a little delayed today, so I'll make up a chapter tomorrow!

**********

Lieutenant Colonel Bauer and Lieutenant Colonel Edmund did not attack immediately, they had some communication and planning first.

This was a clever approach, although the situation was tight at this time, and the Mamayev Hill could fall into the hands of the Soviets at any time, and it was too late for the Germans to take the cemetery.

But both Edmund and Bauer knew that it was not possible to rush the situation at hand, even if the Germans had the upper hand, there was no doubt that they would be blown back by a grenade.

"Their main means of defense is grenades!" "Plus plus submachine gun melee combat," Edmund said. That's smart, because the cemetery is suitable for such a fight! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Bauer nodded: "So, do you think we should fight like this?" ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund replied, "If we can't find a good tactic, use the same tactics as the enemy!" ”

It is obvious that there will be no loss if you use the same tactics as the enemy, at least not a big loss, because there is also a difference between the attacker and the defender, and some details cannot be exactly the same, for example, the Soviets can arrange submachine gunners to lurk but the Germans cannot.

After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Bauer said: "Or, we can change this tactic a little!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Bauer did just that, and instead of copying Shulka's tactics, he divided each platoon into three groups:

The first group was at the forefront, consisting mainly of submachine gunners, and this group, of course, charged and fought at the front.

The second group were grenadiers, who even carried their rifles on their backs and carried a large number of grenades.

The third group consisted of snipers and mortars, who were responsible for firing flares forward, observing and coordinating commands.

After more than ten minutes of intense preparation, the German offensive began in the first round.

Such an offensive was very effective.

Their main body was the snipers and mortars of the third group......

The snipers are in good position and ready, the mortars fire flares forward, and then the first group launches a tentative attack forward.

Once the first group is attacked by an enemy, the sniper will usually be able to locate or roughly determine the enemy's location...... Snipers usually have this skill, and they are used to estimating the distance of their targets, so they can quickly get more accurate data.

Needless to say, grenades thrown by the Soviet troops, snipers could even see where they were thrown from in the light of flares.

As for the submachine gunners hiding in low and dark places, the snipers can judge the distance and direction of the big ones by the sparks and gunfire from the muzzles.

So, the sniper immediately informed the second group of grenadiers as the enemy's general message.

The way to tell is simple and straightforward: "One o'clock direction, 30 meters!" ”

Then the grenadier pulled the grenade and threw it in the direction of the big one, and after a chaotic "boom", an obstacle was almost removed.

This puts a lot of pressure on Shulka and others.

"Captain!" Andrianka reported to Shulka: "The enemy changed tactics, we lost dozens of dead and wounded!" ”

Shulka nodded, he had seen the questions.

But this was also expected by him...... The quality of the German infantry was quite good, especially in the early days of the Soviet-German war. (In the middle and later stages, because the casualties of veterans are too large, and a large number of recruits are replenished, their quality is getting worse and worse)

Although the 82nd Infantry Regiment has undergone special training in urban street fighting, they still lack actual combat experience, and there is still a gap between them and the German army on the whole.

In this case, once the Germans used the right tactics and at the same time had many more troops than the Soviets, then there was no reason for the Soviets to gain the upper hand.

Shulka set his sights on Mikhailvich.

Mikhailvich took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then nodded and said: "Thirty minutes left, almost!" ”

"Lay mines!" Shulka ordered: "One battalion to cover, the rest of the units to retreat!" ”

"Yes!" Andrianka answered and passed the order.

In fact, from the very beginning, Shulka did not intend to die in the cemetery.

The cemetery was never the target of the Soviet troops, their goal was always the Mamayev Height.

At this time, the Mamayev Gang was the weak point, the German army had only more than 300 troops there, and there may not be much left until now, and a Soviet Guards Infantry Regiment was still launching a fierce attack on it wave after wave.

Therefore, only a fool will stay in the cemetery all the time with the German army.

In fact, a battalion is a drain on the Germans at the cemetery, and a regiment is also a drain, and the Germans using new tactics can almost be said to have blown up with grenades in waves, so a battalion will not spend much less time here.

That's what Shulka wants.

So, without the knowledge of the Germans, two battalions of Soviet troops secretly withdrew from their positions on the other side of the cemetery...... It was difficult for the Germans to detect this, as they were obscured by tombstones everywhere.

This can't really be said to be a "retreat", but an attack in the other direction, a veritable one.

Mamayev Hill was two miles away from the cemetery, and it took only ten minutes for the soldiers to withdraw to the vicinity of its anticline.

At this time, the sound of artillery at the Mamayev Gang rumbled and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the firelight hit the top of the hill like lightning, sending out bursts of firelight, and the figures of German soldiers could be faintly seen in the communication trench transporting ammunition and reinforcements.

Shulka ordered the soldiers to lurk, looked at the time, and ordered: "Get on the bayonet!" ”

"Get on the bayonet!"

"Get on the bayonet!"

……

The order went down.

Then, suddenly, there was a whistling of shells in the air, and the shells slammed into its anticline position one by one across the Mamayev Heights.

This was agreed between the 82nd Regiment and the command of the army group.

At this time, the 82nd Infantry Regiment was in a state of lack of ammunition, and its strength was not enough to prepare the Germans for artillery fire.

The 62nd Army will do the work for you...... Most of these shells were fired from mortars, mortars of various calibers.

The characteristic of the mortar is that its trajectory is curved, which can go around the top of the Mamayev hill and hit its anticline.

If there is any drawback, it is that the mortar shooter does not see the target for blind fire.

However, because the Mamayev Gang belonged to the Soviet Army, the familiarity with the terrain and topography made up for this deficiency to a certain extent, so those shells were still hitting eight or nine or ten, and the wire posts and mines in front of the German positions were blown up in a mess.

Ten minutes later, artillery fire began to extend to the top of the mountain.

Major Mikhailvich stood up and shouted: "Comrades, for the sake of Stalingrad, for the sake of the great Motherland, rush! ”
