"Can't the Air Force play a role?" Colonel Slain roared angrily: "Let them send a few more bombers and blow up all the rails!" ”

But this statement was quickly answered negatively by the Air Force: "Sorry, Colonel, the pilot could only faintly see the armored train in the smoke, and this was done by the smoke from the chimney of the armored train, and we could not determine the location of the tracks at all." ”

The pilots also had their helplessness, especially the Soviets burned a large number of waste tires around the station, and puffs of black smoke reached the clouds, coupled with artillery fire, dust, smoke bombs and the like, it was difficult to see the target even on the ground, let alone the bombers flying fast in the sky...... This is one of the reasons why German pilots had previously bombed the 21st Panzer Division by mistake.

"Maybe we can force it back with artillery fire!" Albridge said helplessly.

"No!" Qin Chuan looked around and said, "Maybe we shouldn't force it back, but we should transfer it out, to be exact, to a certain position!" ”

"What do you mean?" Colonel Slane asked.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "The armored train will adjust its position according to the direction of our attack, right? ”

"Of course!" Colonel Slain said, "That's what makes it so hard to deal with!" ”

"See that building?" Qin Chuan pointed to a ten-storey building in front of him that looked like a staff dormitory, and said, "I'm wondering if if it will be crushed on the railway if we let it collapse to the north!" ”

"You're trying to block the railroad?" Colonel Albridge shook his head and said, "Even this won't do much, the armored train can still move and play a role in other sections." And it won't be long before their sappers will clear those obstacles! ”

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "I don't mean this ......"

Saying that, Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said: "I just observed the stop of the armored train, when we attacked, it was always used to stopping here, this, and this and then shooting. And I dare say it will do so next time, because stopping at these positions will allow us to inflict as much fire as possible on us! ”

"But what can be done?" Albridge asked.

Qin Chuan pointed to one of the points and said, "If it stops here...... It's only twenty meters from that building! ”

"You're trying to bury it?" Colonel Slain's eyes widened.

"So to speak!" Qin Chuan nodded.

Colonel Albridge and Colonel Slane exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement.

The plan was quickly implemented.

The first thing is to occupy the abandoned building.

This was not an easy task, as it was also garrisoned by Soviet troops, especially at the top ...... The Soviets deployed machine guns and mortars upstairs, fired condescendingly downward, and laid out barbed wire and mines downstairs.

But the Germans didn't want to occupy the whole building, in fact, they only had to take the first floor.

So, when the bombers once again forced the armored train back into cover, the Germans launched a surprise attack on the building under the cover of tanks.

A patch of mortar shells blew up the barbed wire fence in all directions, and several "No. 3" tanks slowly drove towards the building under the cover of a dense rain of bullets such as machine guns and rocket launchers......

With a "boom", the tank fired a shell into the building, and on the spot, the Soviet troops stationed with sandbags to build a defensive line inside were blown up into a miserable scream.

Then a series of parallel machine guns "da-da-da" fired fiercely into the building, causing cement debris to fly in the building, followed by a group of German soldiers stepping on the zigzag quickly into the building, with a burst of MP43 gunfire, the soldiers quickly occupied the first floor.

However, the Soviets were not worried about this, they thought that this was just the loss of the first floor, and the Soviets laid checkpoints and traps everywhere in this seventeen-storey building, and the Germans could only attack one by one...... And this is exactly what the Soviets wanted, and they stayed here because they received orders to delay the Germans.

This was an order from Yeremenko.

It should be said that this is completely correct, because if the Germans were allowed to penetrate all the way from the left flank, the Soviet defense line on the Don River in the Stalingrad section would soon collapse, and then Stalingrad would be surrounded by the Germans from the west, north and south (the east side is close to the Volga River and cannot be encircled), which is not what the Soviet army wants to see.

Therefore, Yeremenko needs time, and to be more precise, the Stalingrad Front, which is located in the north, needs time to gather troops and supplies to prevent this from happening.

Originally, Yeremenko was supposed to withdraw all the Soviet troops stationed in the port of Karachi to the defense of Stalingrad, because it was obvious that Karachi could not be held.

However, in order to buy time for the follow-up troops, Yeremenko could only grit his teeth and order the 184th and 192nd divisions stationed there to hold out until the last moment...... Yeremenko hoped that they would be able to use Karachi's supplies and the city and terrain to hold the Germans back for at least five days, and for this reason Yeremenko even did not hesitate to transfer the armored train "Fight the German Invaders", which was originally used to defend Stalingrad, to Karachi.

This turned out to be the right thing to do, because the armored train did play a role in Karachi.

But this effect will obviously not be long-lasting.

Several groups of German soldiers ran into the building with their waists bent, and unlike the soldiers before them, these teams were sappers, and they had explosives, detonating wires, etc. in their hands.

Once inside the building, they placed the explosives on the side of the load-bearing wall facing north under the command of the engineer captain...... This is to allow the building to collapse to the north.

For these, the sappers will solve them very well, and Germany, as an industrial country, will inevitably have similar blasting operations in peacetime, and of course there will be similar talents in the troops.

This engineer captain used to be in charge of the blasting of the construction company in Hamburg, and when Colonel Slein told him what the blasting needed to achieve, he agreed: "This is a very simple demolition job, Colonel, I will definitely be able to do it well!" ”

"Good!" Colonel Slane nodded, but said with some unease, "Do you know what it means to fail?" We only have one chance! ”

"I know, Colonel!" The captain replied: "I won't let you down, or else...... I was the first to go with the dynamite bag against that big guy! ”

Slane patted the captain on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, it's important to us to do your thing!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

It didn't take long for everything to be ready, and Slein nodded to the German soldiers waiting on the other side...... It's time to lure the armored train to this side.
