The fight between us and the enemy was fierce.

One thing Andrianka was right, the Germans learned the tactics of the Soviet army, and there was almost no firepower on the first floor.

There is no such thing as "copyright" in war, and the enemy's useful tactics can be used immediately, otherwise they will not be able to get along with themselves, after all, this is all a matter of life.

The weakness of the first floor is that there is almost no height advantage, and at the same time it is inconvenient to transfer...... The buildings of the hospital are mostly rectangular, the staircase is either in the middle or on the sides, the attacking side only needs to block the staircase with machine guns, and the soldiers stationed on the first floor have almost no way to retreat but to fight until the last moment.

In order to avoid this, the defense of such structures is more likely to place troops near the staircase to facilitate evacuation, or to bury mines without troops at all.

There is basically no need to worry about this kind of problem on the second floor and above.

Of course, other buildings, such as ordinary houses, have their corridors enclosed in the rooms.

This also illustrates the complexity of building street fighting: the offense and defense of different buildings often have different characteristics and points.

The Germans thought that such preparations were foolproof, but they were soon under pressure from the Soviet attack.

With a scream, rockets flew from the darkness to the building where the Germans were located, and then burst into flames.

At this time, the Germans were secretly complaining:

When they attacked, they were bombed by rope bombs from the lower floors to the upper floors, and now they occupy the upper floors, thinking that they can finally take revenge and blow up the Russians, but they still suffer the same bombing......

The war is so unfair, who left them without bazookas like the Soviet army ?!

(Note: The German Iron Fist did not enter mass production until July 1943, more than a year before that)

However, because the Germans were condescending and did have the advantage of "rope bombs", the Soviets seemed to have nothing to do with them...... Attacking a building, even if it was only the first floor, was quickly attacked by all kinds of incendiary bombs, grenades and explosives, and it was still suspended in mid-air.

But the offensive of the Soviet troops, of course, will not be just that.

The Germans were completely unaware that the Soviet offensive was only a feint......

Just when the ground offensive was hot, the Soviet troops on the roof of the building also began to move.

The target is Buildings 7 and 12.

Next to them, Buildings 3 and 9 suddenly drove several steel cables, and then "cranched" the roof of the target building.

At this time, the roofs of buildings No. 7 and No. 12 had been bombed by the Soviet army...... IT WAS BLOWN UP BY THE SOVIETS WITH MORTAR SHELLS, SOVIET 37MM SHOVEL MORTARS.

Although this thing was shut down in 1941 due to the problems of short range and poor accuracy, the Soviet army still equipped a large number of them.

The main reason is that it does not occupy the establishment, and it is said that the mortar is actually carried by ordinary infantry, anyway, everyone has to use a sapper shovel, and the shells are not heavy, and a shell weighs only one pound, and you can stick a few into your waist at will...... The shells of such mortars have special cylindrical containers, which allow it to be inserted into the waist like a grenade.

When fighting, it is necessary to untie the "shovel" and artillery shells, and the target can be easily suppressed.

A burst of artillery fire, combined with sniper strikes, and a few smoke grenades, quickly lost sight of the Germans on the roof of the target building.

After all, the Germans knew that the roof of the building where they were located was under the attack of several nearby rooftops, and it was impossible to take advantage of the enemy on the rooftop.

At this moment, the steel ropes flew over one by one......

Needless to say, the Soviet soldiers quickly slid along the steel cable to the roof of the target building, because they slid from several steel cables at the same time, so the speed was very fast, both in buildings seven and twelve.

"Alert, enemy attack!" The Germans, who were hiding in the shadows on the rooftop, shouted when they found out about this, hoping that the friendly troops would hear his cry and send reinforcements.

But this cry simply did not attract the attention of the other German troops.

On the one hand, this was because the gunfire was so noisy that the shouts could not be heard by the Germans downstairs, and even if they did, they did not understand the meaning of this sudden "enemy attack" on the roof.

On the other hand, the firepower and attention of the German army were mostly attracted by the Soviet troops attacking on the ground, and they had no time to pay attention to the movements in other directions.

What's more, the shouting soon ceased abruptly...... The Soviet soldiers who slid to the roof of the building immediately formed an offensive formation and cleared the remnants of the enemy on the roof.

This is important because this is the only way to make the follow-up troops reach their goals safely and quickly.

As a result, the first squads are often the best and most responsive fighters in the unit, and they will be the first to establish themselves on the roof of the building and then open up a safe area for the follow-up troops.

Then......

The battle was repeated again, with the Soviets occupying the top floor, attacking layer by layer with rope bombs.

If anything, this time the Germans did not even have a chance to retreat, because their retreat had been blocked by the Soviet troops attacking on the ground.

To put it simply, the Germans were actually caught up and down by the Soviet troops.

Eventually, however, some German soldiers managed to escape.

The German soldiers were obviously the wiser ones, and as soon as they found out that the roof was lost, they realized that the battle was over, and that they would definitely lose and lose the building in the end.

They did not choose to flee from the staircase, because they knew that the staircase entrance would definitely be blocked by enemy fire.

They attached the ropes they carried with them, which were supposed to be used to tie up explosives packs, and then slid from the upper floors to the ground to escape under the cover of smoke grenades.

This included the commander, Major Sean, and his command.

Therefore, although the results of this victory were not small, the Soviet army killed and wounded more than 200 German soldiers and captured more than 100 people, but there were no high-ranking officers worth mentioning.

"Let them run away in part!" Andrian reported to Shulka with regret on his face.

Shulka shook his head indifferently.

The Soviets don't know when a tradition was formed to take pride in being able to capture or kill enemy officers...... However, all armies seem to have such characteristics.

But in Shulka's view, it was only necessary to capture him if it was necessary to obtain information from the enemy commander.

Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense whether to catch the commander or not to shoot him or not.

At this time, there is no need to obtain any information in the battle.

"Order the troops!" Shulka said: "Be ready to withdraw from the building!" ”

"Evacuate the building?" Andrianka asked suspiciously, "Why?" We've just taken them back! ”

"Because the enemy will most likely choose to blow them up!" "If they know they can't get the buildings back, this is the best option!" ”
