Chapter 893: I Don't Want to Die
On November 30, the weather on the eastern front did not change much, and it was still bitterly cold and snowy.
And the worst thing is that the temperature in Stalingrad has dropped to minus 13 degrees.
However, the German and Soviet troops are still launching sneak attacks on each other's defense areas every day, fighting all kinds of attacks, including small-scale, large-scale, and special forces operations.
However, the only difference was that the Germans would have hot meals and nutritious food every day, and they would be transported to the front line to feed the officers and soldiers to replenish their strength.
Moreover, the German army's field kitchens, logistics units, and field hospitals were also equipped as much as possible.
On the contrary, the Soviet army was not only short of food, but also short of medical supplies.
The psychology of the Soviet army was very unbalanced in this regard, and if Zhukov had not promised them to provide them with good food, medical medicine, and medical personnel as soon as possible, I am afraid that many Soviet officers and men would have really lost their will to fight.
Because at this moment, the Soviet army will not only have to face more and more fierce battles, but also face more and more cold weather, and will also face the miserable end of freezing to death at any time.
Therefore, their psychological pressure is also very great, so they see that the wartime treatment of the German army is so much better than their own, and they are absolutely unwilling and unhappy.
Even though many people were afraid of Stalin's high-handed rule and methods, in the face of a battlefield environment where they could die at any time, many officers and soldiers gradually became unafraid of Stalin's authority.
Because if you die, there is nothing, so what are you afraid of?
As car after car transported the dead officers and men on the front line and in the areas after the sneak attack by the German special forces, or wounded officers and soldiers, to the hospitals in the rear, many Soviet officers and men watched with numbness and fear as the car convoys slowly passed in front of them.
For them, no one knew that they would die on the battlefield at that moment.
So when the cold is deadly, the cold and biting east wind is raging unscrupulously; Many hungry Soviet troops were curled up and napping in their icy foxholes, or nervously watching every move on the battlefield, ready to shoot at the sudden appearance of German snipers or surprise troops.
As for the officers and soldiers who prayed, there were not a single one who had hot coffee and food, and even sufficient dry food was a luxury for many Soviet officers and soldiers.
"Damn! The battlefield we live now is a nightmare! Not only is there a lack of food and clothing, but we also have to face the sudden death invitation from the German army at any time! I'm fed up, and I want to get out of this damn battlefield right now and go home and live some peaceful life with my family! “
"I want to too! But now that the German army is engaged in more and more sneak attacks, and it is surrounded by cold and terrible weather and snowflakes, where can we flee to? ”
"That's right! If we had escaped as deserters, the Stalinist leaders would have executed us! ”
"I don't want to die! I don't want to freeze to death here, I don't want to die under the execution of the leader, or I don't want to die under the attack of the German army, I want to go home! ”
"If you want to go home as soon as possible, then find a way to get the Battle of Stalingrad that we are currently underway! We've been fighting here for over three years! ”
"Yes! We've all been fighting wars here for so long, but why haven't we won the battle to annihilate all those dog-day Germans, or drive out our territory! ”
In the snow-covered land where the cold wind was howling, many Soviet officers and soldiers who were curled up and hiding in their own foxholes were talking to each other in soft whispers.
Their top commander ignored the increasingly noisy and demoralized scenes, and let these people say something upside down.
And their main purpose is to wait for Zhukov's latest combat order.
Or to observe the arrival of each round of new attacks by the German army, or to observe the air raids of the German air forces.
