The last to know the situation was the command of the Soviet 62nd Army.

This is a bit ironic, the situation of his own army is actually known by the German army first, and the Soviet army knows later.

And it is not known from the state of the war...... The 82nd Infantry Regiment entered the war zone through the sewers, and it can be said that it entered the German army at once, and the surrounding Soviet troops did not know about it, so the command of course did not know, although the 82nd Infantry Regiment had already fought with the Germans in hospitals and schools, and even killed and wounded hundreds of German soldiers and captured thousands of people.

Among them, the command of the 62nd Army did have doubts.

At the time of the bombing of hospitals and schools by the German "Stuka", Golikov and Krylov were surprised.

"I thought they were going to bomb Mamayev Heights!" Golikov said.

"I think so too!" Krylov replied: "Perhaps, it is the encircled units of our army, who are still fighting in the hospital!" ”

"No!" Golikov shook his head: "They are all withdrawn from the hospital, and even if there are surrounded troops of our army who insist on fighting, they don't need to bomb with warplanes!" ”

Krylov nodded in agreement, especially with fighter planes, which is indeed a bit unbelievable, unless the Soviets occupy a certain building and have an advantage, it is impossible to bombard indiscriminately with gasoline barrels and aerial bombs.

However, Golikov and Krylov did not think much about it, because the situation at Mamayev Gang was still not optimistic.

At this moment, a correspondent reported to Golikov: "Comrade Golikov, we have received a secret report that German spies have seized the 'Red October' metallurgical plant!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Golikov couldn't help but be shocked.

This is not only because the "Red October" metallurgical plant is an important link in the chain of production of equipment and ammunition, but also because the "Red October" metallurgical plant is located to the east of Mamayev Hills, and there is only a Bannei gorge between them.

If the "Red October" fell into German hands, then the Mamayev post would be flanked by German fire, which was obviously very unfavorable to the defenders on the Mamayev post......

This is dictated by anti-slope defense tactics.

If the Germans attacked head-on from the high ground, the Soviet defenders only needed to hide to another inclined plane of the high ground, that is, the anti-crank, because the German machine guns, tanks, and a considerable part of the artillery were all in a straight line, so these equipment would immediately lose their effectiveness.

As a result, if the Germans wanted to take the Mamayev Gang, they could only send infantry to charge and seize the heights inch by inch with the Soviet bayonets.

This is one of the reasons why Mamayev Gang has been able to hold out until this time.

But if the Germans had reoccupied the "Red October" metallurgical plant behind the Mamayev Gang and erected a few guns there, then the garrison of the Mamayev Gang would have been bombed both on the positive and anti-inclined planes.

Thinking of this, Golikov couldn't sit still, he suddenly stood up, took the armed belt from under the wall and tied it to himself, and at the same time said to Krylov: "You command on my behalf, and I will personally lead the troops to recapture the 'Red October'!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Golikov!" Krylov also knew the importance of the "Red October", so there was no objection.

Golikov urgently contacted two regiments...... This was because he had heard that there was a regiment of enemy spies.

One of these regiments was the 269th Regiment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was transferred north of Stalingrad, and it was originally used to maintain order in the north (in fact, most of them were used to catch deserters and prevent them from fleeing to the east bank), but now Golikov did not care so much.

The other regiment was the 153rd Regiment, the only remaining reserve of Golikov, which he had intended to use to reinforce Mamayev Hill after dark.

Two regiments surrounded the "Red October" metallurgical plant one in the south and one in the north, and then, with the assistance of the workers inside, opened the gates and stormed the factory at gunpoint......

All of this is actually the name of the factory director.

It was not easy for this old man named Lermonkov to achieve the position of factory director, and the workers called him a one-eyed fox.

It's not because he's really monocular, it's because he's used to putting a monocular lens on his right eye when reviewing documents, and he's always able to pick out other people's little faults in their work, and he's as cunning and shrewd as a fox, which led to this nickname.

Shulka apparently underestimated the plant manager, believing that it would be enough to send a guard and a platoon of soldiers to control the workers.

Guard Pozarisky may be a good fighter, but he is much worse than a one-eyed fox in terms of scheming.

"I'm not going to turn on those machines, but I'm fine signing documents!" Lemonkov said to the guards: "Otherwise what else can I do?" Stuck in a daze here? ”

Pozarisky thought for a moment and nodded: "Do your thing, old man, don't let me know that you are playing tricks!" Tell you, we're not the kind of people you think! ”

"Oh yes, of course I do!" Lemonkov replied: "You don't look like bad people!" ”

"Of course!" Pozarisky, flattered by Lemonkov, let his guard down.

Then Lemonkov signed document after document.

At first, Pozarisky would look at it, but then he quickly lost interest when he saw that all the signatures were names and consents.

But what Pozarisky didn't know was that just as he turned around and took out the vodka and poured himself a drink, Lemonkov wrote a few words on the document: "Use the emergency radio!" ”

Then place this folder in the middle of the other files.

Pozarisky, of course, would not have found out about this, he did not expect that this old man would actually do something right under his nose.

Then, naturally, the documents were passed on...... Although the telephone was controlled by the 82nd Regiment, they did not know that the metallurgical plant had an emergency radio, which was used to call for help in the event of an emergency.

As a result, the news reached the command of the group army layer by layer.

Several gunshots rang out, and the Soviet troops who rushed into the factory shouted at the soldiers inside:

"Lay down your arms!"

"Hands up!"

……

Fortunately, the workers were under the control of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, so the Soviets did not dare to shoot rashly, so there were not many casualties.

The reason why I say "not much" is because several soldiers who were stationed at the gate were severely beaten at gunpoint.

Pozarisky was shocked when he saw this, and he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "My own people, comrade! We are from the 82nd Infantry Regiment! ”

"Shut up!" Golikov shouted: "Don't think you can fool us, lay down your arms and surrender, or we will shoot!" ”

"We really are our own people!" Pozarisky was so anxious that he shouted: "Our troops are fighting the Germans in hospitals and schools!" ”
