The interior of the town hall has been completely destroyed, and the furnishings inside have been destroyed by fierce battles.

The wooden handrails of the staircase were now stained red with blood, and they were also covered with bullets from both sides.

The walls were riddled with bullet holes, the edges of the craters carved by bullets were covered with traces of splattered blood, and the walls washed by anti-aircraft guns were still filled with rays of sunlight.

The Soviet soldier stationed at the top of the staircase checked his Bobosha submachine gun, and he knew that he had an advantage, and the opponent could not throw grenades when he attacked from the back.

But he also had his own disadvantage, that is, the ammunition upstairs was limited after all, and the Germans had cut off their retreat, and they were completely surrounded here.

Touching the pocket of the drum around his waist, he knew that he only had one drum full of bullets left—there were 71 rounds of ammunition there, which was quite a lot.

It's a pity that just now, in one attack of the German army, he used up half of the drum, and now he has at most thirty rounds of ammunition left in his drum!

The corpses of three or four German soldiers were scattered on the stairs, but the Soviets didn't take much advantage of it.

When the other side rushed up, they knocked down two Soviet soldiers guarding the stairs, after all, most of the Soviet troops were equipped with Mosin Nagant, and in this kind of battle to defend the pass, they actually did not have an advantage.

If it weren't for the fact that the Germans had a hard time throwing grenades, they would not have been able to hold out for this time at all, after all, the fighting quality of the German troops on the opposite side was higher.

In fact, this is already a very polite statement, because the Soviet army is all new soldiers, while the German army is a well-trained real soldier.

The pressure brought to them by the other party was really huge - not only on the staircase, but also on the machine guns and anti-aircraft guns outside, threatening the Soviet soldiers in the building at all times.

"Long live Comrade Stalin!" A Soviet soldier, who could no longer withstand the pressure, pulled a grenade, rushed down the stairs and pounced on the German soldiers guarding below.

"Suddenly! Dodo! As soon as the sound of German soldiers firing had stopped, an explosion was heard.

The bottom of the stairs was covered with dust, and it took a long time to fall silent. No one knows how many Germans lost or not......

The dust had not completely cleared, and the anti-aircraft guns of the Germans outside began another round of new firing! This time, the opponent concentrated their fire on the position near the staircase, apparently losing patience.

The anti-aircraft shell hit the staircase, and in one fell swoop it flew a section of the staircase handrail. This large-caliber shell hit the corpse and knocked off the corpse's arm in one fell swoop.

The people who were overwhelmed by the huge destructive force could not raise their heads, and several Soviet soldiers stationed near the stairs fell to pieces in a pool of blood in an instant.

When the Soviet soldiers standing up near the stairs stood up in the blood, they found that he was the only one still intact.

Covered in blood, he still wanted to find out if there were any surviving comrades on the ground, and the German troops who couldn't wait under the stairs had already swarmed up.

He subconsciously picked up the Bobosha submachine gun and tried to return fire, but was shot in the chest by the strafing bullet.

The bullet pierced through his thin body, causing him to feel the pain of piercing his heart. Then he felt his strength drained, and his hand holding the weapon could only hang down weakly.

The Germans rushed to this corner, which was littered with the corpses of Soviet defenders, shouting and rushing to the corridors on either side.

Then, in the corridors on either side of the second floor, they encountered the same frantic and stubborn resistance.

The Soviet soldier standing at the top of the stairs finally closed his eyes, and before he lost all consciousness, he saw countless pairs of German soldiers' leather boots, stepping in front of his face.

The Soviet army, which had gone to the general situation, was still stubbornly resisting on the second and third floors, and they were not afraid of sacrificing death, they just fired mechanically, and then waited for the Germans to shoot themselves and kill them.

The commander of the Soviet regiment stationed here knew that the Germans were already at his feet, so he had no choice but to draw his pistol.

He also loves his homeland, and he doesn't want to see it fall with a bang. Therefore, he is willing to sacrifice his life for his motherland, and is willing to sacrifice his life for the ethereal victory.

In this era, countless Soviet people willingly gave their lives to add a 1 in 100 million possibility to the victory of the motherland.

In real history, and indeed because of their sacrifices, the Soviet Union dragged the war into its own rhythm and finally won this world war.

With the sound of the gunshot, the German soldiers rushed into his room and found the body with a bullet in the head.

Seeing what was happening in front of them, the German soldiers who rushed into the house were not sentimental, they just crossed over the still bleeding corpses, and then hung a swastika flag in the window of this room.

The surrounding Germans saw a flag spread out on the window on the top floor of the town hall and immediately let out a high-pitched cheer.

They raised their weapons aloft and shouted frantically, venting their suppressed emotions.

And on the opposite side, the Soviet soldiers finally realized that the commanding heights of Rostov were already in the hands of the Germans.

Here, as in Moscow, every street has to be fought over and over again, and every building is covered with corpses.

The German soldiers skillfully removed the corpses from the town hall and set up machine-gun emplacements in some of the reverse windows.

They skillfully used the nearby high and low terrain to begin to set up a defensive position that could block the Soviet counterattack.

Time is precious for them, and no one can say at what second the Soviets will blow the horn of a counterattack, and no one can say whether the Soviets will invest a large number of soldiers in the next counterattack.

Unfortunately, the expected counterattack did not come, as if the Soviets had exhausted their last reserves by the time they were fighting for the building.

A day later, the Germans entered the port area, and the three Soviet destroyers that remained in the harbor chose to sink themselves after running out of ammunition.

The rest of the transport ships also chose an important position in the port to open the sea valve. These ships used themselves as reefs and destroyed the unimportant port of Rostov-on-Don.

After all, if the Germans could not capture the Caucasus, then they would not be able to take advantage of the port of Rostov-on-Don.

But if the Germans occupied the Caucasus, then it would not matter whether Rostov was activated or not. Because the Soviet army was almost disarmed and surrendered at that time, who cares about the role of this port?
