The result of this sneak attack of the Soviet army can be imagined, and in less than ten minutes before and after, a team of more than 200 people fell in front of the German defense line.

So fighting a war is often not about how many people there are...... The strength of this Soviet army exceeded the total strength of the German army on the sandbank, and at that time, Qinchuan, the pillbox facing the Soviet army, could gather only 15 people, but it still cleanly knocked down all the opponents.

In addition to Qin Chuan and others hiding in the bunker and being able to shoot without pressure, another part of the reason is that the Soviet army had to step on the knee-high river to advance, and then there was a short muddy road, and then there was barbed wire, and in the meantime, you had to pay attention to the mines under your feet...... All this made them an excellent target for the Germans, and then there was a pile of corpses lying in front of the line in various positions on the surface of the river.

Sometimes Qin Chuan hopes that the river will be in a hurry, okay, these corpses will all be washed away, lest they gradually deteriorate in front of his eyes, and then emit all kinds of stench.

Soon, gunshots and explosions rang out one after another from other directions, and the correspondent reported to Qin Chuan: "The enemy has been found in the No. 3 and No. 7 pillboxes!" The situation can be controlled! ”

Qin Chuan nodded, the Soviet army obviously hoped to attack from several directions at the same time, but this plan could already be declared a failure.

The command of the Soviet Southeastern Front received information at the first time.

Khrushchev took the telegram from the staff officer and looked at it, then angrily threw the telegram on the table, scolding: "These cunning fascists! ”

Yeremenko took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Mines in the water?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Yeremenko!" The staff officer replied: "Our men have reconnoitred and found that they have laid mines in the water with waterproof bags, which are almost impossible to remove due to the muddy water of the river and the stones of similar colors everywhere!" ”

"Why don't they use artillery against these mines?" Khrushchev angrily asked the staff officer: "Bomb these waters with mortars first!" ”

"This may indeed be able to drain some mines, Comrade Khrushchev!" The staff officer replied: "But I don't think it will be of much use, because we cannot guarantee that the mines will be cleared, and the Germans will soon lay new mines......"

This is where the benefits of landmines come in, they are easy to lay and difficult to remove.

"Saying this won't help the battle situation!" Khrushchev replied irritably: "What we need is a method, a method to be able to land on the sandbar and wipe out all those fascists!" ”

The staff officer couldn't help but be stunned on the spot...... He's just a staff officer, a staff officer who assists in commanding, where will there be any way?!

But looking at Khrushchev's eyes that he was about to kill, the staff officer replied indiscriminately: "Comrade Khrushchev, maybe we can consider sapping soldiers!" ”

"What can the sappers do, let them go up and clear the mines?"

"No, Comrade Khrushchev!" The staff officer replied: "We lack a bridge, why don't we let the sappers build a pontoon bridge before attacking?" ”

"You're crazy!" Khrushchev said: "Build a pontoon bridge under enemy fire? How many sappers does that take to complete? I'm afraid that we will have to pile up the corpses of the sappers to form a bridge, so we can succeed! ”

Khrushchev grabbed the staff officer by the collar and lifted him up, he almost wanted to throw this useless staff officer out of the command.

But Yeremenko shouted: "That's right, lieutenant colonel! Pontoon...... Why didn't we think of the pontoon?! ”

At this time, Khrushchev and the staff officers were all stunned.

"Put him down, Comrade Khrushchev!" Yeremenko said: "I think the lieutenant colonel gave us a good advice! ”

"You mean the pontoon?" Khrushchev looked at Yeremenko in bewilderment.

"Yes, pontoons!" Yeremenko nodded and replied: "It's just that we didn't go over, but drove over......"

The situation the next day surprised Qin Chuan, the Soviet army has not launched an attack on the sandbank, except for harassing a piece of artillery shells from the sandbar from time to time.

The German blockade of the central Stalingrad ferry port continued.

In fact, the blockade of the central ferry did not stop even at night, Qin Chuan had a six-person squad specially responsible for the reconnaissance of the central ferry, and if they found any movement in the direction of the central ferry, they would use mortars to fire a flare at it, and when they were sure that the Soviet army had supplies to land, they would immediately call for artillery fire, which made it almost impossible for the Soviet army's supplies to land at the central ferry.

But...... It was clear that the Soviets would not allow this situation to continue, otherwise they would have lost the battle at Stalingrad and would have been quickly defeated.

Then why didn't the Soviets attack again?

Qin Chuan couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe they realized that it was useless to attack like this!" Kuhn said: "The defense of the sandbar was very good, and the Soviet fortification troops did not cut corners!" ”

Kuhn took advantage of the free time when the Soviets were not attacking to patrol the sandbar for a week, and then made some additions to the map.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Chuan will choose Kuhn as his deputy, he has always been meticulous in his work, and what is even more rare is that he will take the initiative to do something, just like energetic or ADHD...... At this time, the others had already seized the time to rest because of the tense battle before.

"I don't think so!" Qin Chuan replied: "If they really realize that it is useless to attack like this, or if they give up attacking the sandbank...... Just find a way to withdraw the troops from Stalingrad! ”

The reason is simple, to abandon the attack on the sandbar is almost the same as to to to abandon Stalingrad.

"Well......" Kuhn replied, "they're just trying to figure it out!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "And I believe that they have already thought of a way!" ”

"Why do you think that?" Kuhn asked.

"Because if they don't think of a way, they will continue to attack until they think of a way!" Qin Chuan replied: "But if you think of a way, there is no need to waste any more troops, do you say?" ”

Kuhn nodded and said, "You're right, Major! ”

After a pause, Kuhn asked again, "You can't guess what they're going to do, are you?" ”

"Please, Kuhn!" Qin Chuan spread his hands: "I'm not God!" ”

"Then we'll have to be careful!"

"Of course!"

But in fact, simple "careful" is basically useless, because the Germans do not know what methods the enemy will use, and certainly do not know where they should be careful.

All Qin Chuan could do was to report this guess to Alexander and let the reconnaissance plane go to reconnoitre.

The rest can only be flooded by soldiers.
