The scene of the suicide of the female pilot of the Soviet Army has been lingering in Qin Chuan's mind.

Maybe it's because there are few women on the battlefield, maybe it's because the woman's eyes reveal a deep fear and nostalgia for the world before she dies, or maybe it touches a soft piece in the hearts of the soldiers, which makes the soldiers silently bury their heads in what they do.

Qin Chuan could understand their thoughts, the female pilot actually reminded them of their families, such as their mothers, sisters, and fiancées...... Because Qin Chuan was no exception, he couldn't help but think of having a home in Frankfurt, as well as those relatives waiting for him to go back, and Hannah, who didn't know where he was at this time.

In the silence of the soldiers, the sky gradually darkened, and the atmosphere became tense again, for everyone knew that the enemy counterattack was about to begin.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the German soldiers withdrew from the three buildings.

Of course, there were also two troops connected to the left and right in advance, and the second and third battalions passed through the gas ...... In fact, the barbed wire fences and mines laid by the Germans had to be ventilated to the left and right friendly forces, so that the friendly forces could cover each other and identify friend or foe from the location.

"Command!" Qin Chuan said: "Don't attack at will, don't get up, and don't move around the area outside the trenches unless necessary!" ”

Eberhard answered, and the order was passed on.

This order was emphasized before, not only in the first corps, but in all units entering Stalingrad.

The reason is simple...... It is difficult to distinguish friend or foe in the dark ruins, especially since the Soviet army may infiltrate through the tunnels, so the Germans can only identify the other side, whether they are moving or not.

There was silence all around, except for the artillery fire that exploded in the distance without a sound, and occasionally one or two rounds exploded nearby...... That was the artillery laid by the Soviet troops on the other side of the Volga, the only thing in which the Soviet troops had an advantage in the Stalingrad direction.

The reason was that the Soviet artillery on the east bank of the Volga River had very free logistics and a large number of artillery pieces that could not be transported across the river.

In fact, the Soviets did not need to transport their artillery across the river at all, because their artillery could hit Stalingrad directly from the east bank. As mentioned earlier, Stalingrad was only five kilometers deep in the east and west.

As a result, the Soviet army had more artillery than the German army, and the artillery shells were more abundant than the German army, and they were once suppressed by the Soviet army in artillery battles and could not move, and in the end they could only target Stalingrad at a distance outside the range of Soviet artillery fire...... That is, the artillery of both sides is out of each other's range, but they can reach Stalingrad, and Stalingrad will only suffer.

With a "boom", a sudden explosion sounded in the darkness.

The explosion was clearly not a shell but a mine, because a scream was followed...... The Germans planted an "S" shaped jumping mine, and if they detonated one, they would injure several nearby enemies.

But the screams soon turned into inconspicuous whimperings, and then faded away.

That's when the Soviets, fearing exposure of the target, covered the mouths of the wounded and sent them away.

In fact, there was no need for them to do this, because the Germans were more defensive at night, and it was even less likely to attack at night after using "lattice tactics".

"Bang bang!" Several gunshots rang out from the rear, followed by the explosion of several grenades.

The soldiers who were flying fast with information came to Qin Chuan one by one: "The enemy's tunnel mouth has been discovered, and it has been blocked!" ”

Soon such an order came, and five tunnel openings were discovered one after another.

It can also be seen that the tunnel entrance is actually very difficult to block, because it has not even been dug up when the German soldiers searched, and there is no trace of it from the outside, just like the Germans did in Holm.

However, because the German soldiers were well defended, and they all lay in the dark and hit the moving and rising targets, which led to the successive failures of these Soviet infiltration units.

Qin Chuan thought that the Soviet army's offensive would begin soon, but he waited for a while but there was no movement at all.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan understood that the Soviet army's offensive was a combination of internal infiltration and external attack, and if the German army was not chaotic internally, it would be said that they failed to infiltrate, then the Soviet army would also choose to stand still in order to preserve its strength. After all, military strength is also a valuable resource for the Soviet army, especially Stalingrad.

Then, Qin Chuan gave an order: "Let some of the personnel shoot, shout a few times, and pretend to be in a melee!" ”

Eberhard couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then quickly understood what Qin Chuan meant and passed on the order.

A few minutes later, Kuhn was heard shouting from behind: "Enemy, shoot!" ”

In the midst of the gunshots, someone shouted, "No, we are our own people!" Don't shoot! ”

"That's the enemy over there!"

"Bastard, steady!" Kuhn shouted an order: "Don't shoot indiscriminately!" ”

A few explosions were followed by a scream.

If it weren't for Qin Chuan's personal order, I'm afraid that even he would be deceived by them...... I didn't see that these usually serious German soldiers really had a talent for acting.

Of course, the Soviet troops in ambush in front of the army would not let go of this opportunity, so in the darkness suddenly there was a shout of killing, and mortar shells were also smashed into the German defense line in pieces...... The Soviets were fooled.

A few flares rose into the air, and groups of Soviet soldiers, armed with rifles or Bobosha submachine guns, were only a hundred meters or even a few dozen meters away from the German defense line, and swarms of ants rushed towards the Germans under the cover of artillery fire.

It is no wonder that the Germans could not withstand the Soviet attack, and if it had been at other times, in such internal and external troubles, the Germans would soon have been bogged down in hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat with the Soviet army.

Of course, this is not to say that the Soviets will win in hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, because the quality of individual soldiers of the German army was superior to that of the Soviet army, it also had an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

The problem was that hand-to-hand combat weakened the German superiority in equipment and quality, so the Germans could not maintain a casualty ratio as disparities as the northern defense line...... When the Soviets launched an offensive on the northern defensive line, it was common for the casualty ratio to be 10 to 1.

In this respect, the Soviets were victorious as long as they could fight hand-to-hand combat, even if they lost a battle with 2-1 or even 3-1 casualties.

Of course, this time the Soviet army will not be so easy.

One mine after another exploded, and the entire Soviet team that was charging was slowed down.

Then Qin Chuan shouted: "Fire!" ”

The German soldiers lying on the defensive line each pulled the trigger on the target of their choice.
