Thus, the Germans can be said to have learned nothing about the anticline positions of the Soviet troops.

On the contrary, the Soviets had a clear understanding of the positive slope of the German army...... Mamayev Gang was originally garrisoned by Soviet troops, and the Soviets had just withdrawn from the positive slope, and even the Soviets had a contour topographic map of Mamayev Gang in their hands.

The artillerymen can calculate the height, distance, etc. based on the topographic map, and then accurately hit the mortar shells to the corresponding position.

Of course, the Soviets lacked artillery capable of calculating this, especially those armed with shovel mortars...... In fact, they are not considered artillerymen, but should be part-time artillery of the infantry.

As a result, this advantage was not well utilized, otherwise the Soviets would have blown up the Germans on the other side with mortars alone.

"Can we get around?" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer asked.

Lieutenant Colonel Edmond shook his head: "The two wings are canyons and gullies, and it is no less difficult to get around than to capture them!" ”

As a result, Lieutenant Colonel Bauer was also powerless.

After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund said, "Remember how we defeated them at the cemetery?" ”

"You mean to say...... With soldiers? ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund nodded: "These Russians are very smart, they force us to fight infantry against infantry all the time!" It's like this in hospitals, it's like it in cemeteries, it's still like this in Mamayev Hills! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Edmond was right.

Although the hospital is not obvious, the ruins, barbed wire, mines, etc. make the tanks constrained everywhere, and the fighters and artillery cannot attack the targets hiding in the buildings and basements, so that the role of modern equipment is reduced.

This was also Shulka's course of action: to force the enemy infantry against infantry.

All tactics revolve around that.

The reason is simple, the German army had an advantage in modern equipment, one could even say absolute superiority.

Perhaps, the Soviets will be stronger than the Germans in terms of tanks.

However, because of the lack of air supremacy, communication equipment, and multi-arm coordinated training, the war with the modern equipment of the two armies can be said to be undoubtedly defeated.

This is also one of the reasons why the Soviet army collapsed in the early days of the Soviet-German war.

Even the victory in the defense of Moscow was partly due to the cold snap that prevented German planes from taking off normally, tanks from starting normally, and so on.

Therefore, as long as it can force the Germans to abandon modern equipment to infantry-on-infantry...... This is first and foremost victory.

Although the quality of the German infantry was much better than that of the Soviet infantry.

If this goes on for a long time, the disadvantages of the German army, which is short of troops, will be exposed.

Lieutenant Colonel Edmond didn't know this, though.

Or he knew this but didn't want to admit it, and he had no other choice, because Mamayev Hill was the key to the rapid capture of Stalingrad.

So the next moment, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund organized an infantry battalion to launch an attack on Mamayev Hill under the cover of mortar units.

"Even if you can only attack with infantry!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmond said, "I believe we can defeat these barbarians just as well!" ”

Even Lieutenant Colonel Edmund devised a plan to mix artillery observers with the infantry, some of whom were dragging telephone lines to the battlefield.

"It's easy for the radio to reveal your identity!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmond said, "It will make you a target for enemy snipers. The phone is more private than it! You don't need to fight, all you have to do is lie down among the dead bodies and then direct the artillery bombardment by phone, understand? ”

"Yes, sir!"

This plan played a role.

The Germans rushed up in batches, and then left piles of corpses on the ridged position, and the entire hilltop position was almost full of corpses......

It turns out that on the battlefield, it is not always useful to have good quality.

The quality is good, and it can only be said that it will be useful under the same conditions of time and place.

However, in the face of the huge disparity in geographical superiority, there is absolutely no room for military quality to be brought into play.

Just like now, the Germans had to rush through the empty hilltop positions, and it was like an insurmountable chasm.

The first thing they had to endure was a round of grenades and mortars, and when they were lucky enough to break through this barrier, they stood on a high ground and showed themselves under the enemy's guns......

The Soviet machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns rang out with a "whoosh" sound, knocking the enemies who emerged from the ridges to the ground one by one. And the Germans did not even see where the enemy was, and fell in a pool of blood.

Finally, under the cover of smoke bombs, he successfully advanced some distance, only to find that there were barbed wire and mines in front of him.

At this time, the German artillery observers played a role, they hid among the dead bodies to observe, and then coordinated with the artillery by telephone, guiding the artillery to accurately smash the shells into the Soviet positions.

"What's going on?" Major Mikhailvich shouted: "They seem to be able to see us!" ”

"It's an artillery observer!" Shulka said: "They must be hiding somewhere in the position!" ”

"What about the sniper company?" Major Mikhailvich said: "What are they doing? Find those people and kill them! ”

"We've done it!" The commander of the sniper company, Koroteyev, replied: "But we can't guarantee to find everyone!" ”

It can be difficult to find a few living people in the pile of dead bodies, especially under the cover of battlefield smoke and dust, and it also takes time.

"Why don't we launch a counteroffensive?" Shulka said.

"Counterattack?" Mikhailvich looked at Shulka in confusion: "You mean to occupy the positive slope?" ”

"No, of course not!" Shulka replied: "Beat the enemy back, and we'll come back!" ”

When Mikhailvich heard this, he immediately understood what Shulka meant.

So, Mikhailvich conveyed the order...... It even took fifteen minutes.

The reason why it took so long was because it was necessary to explain that every soldier only rushed to the hilltop position, otherwise it would be easy for the Soviet army to rush over and lose its footing.

Ready, Mikhailvich waved his pistol and shouted: "Comrades, advance, drive the aggressor down the mountain!" ”

"Rush!"

One by one, the Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trenches and charged towards the hilltop position.

At the same time, the mortar unit carried out immovable blocking fire on the German front slope, that is, a barrage was blown up on the front slope, which divided it in two and could not reinforce each other.

And then, no doubt, a charge will capture it.

But that's not the goal.

After occupying the hilltop position...... The German artillery scouts were soon exposed, as they were all dragging a telephone line behind them.

The Soviets could easily pull the artillery scouts out of the pile of dead bodies as long as they followed the vine.

Of course, the phone line will also be cut.
