This incident made Qin Chuan understand that not a well-trained soldier who has been through a hundred battles will definitely be able to withstand the test of war.

To be exact, no one can do this, the reason why Qin Chuan and the others have not fallen or collapsed now is not that they are strong enough, but that the time has not yet come.

Perhaps because this suggestion was made by Colonel Slein, he soon went to the battlefield to inspect the situation.

After he saw the ruins in front of him, he said to Qin Chuan beside him, "You are right, Major. Shells do not solve the problem, it hinders the path of the tank. Now, we have to charge at the Soviets from this ruin! ”

Colonel Slein was right, even this tactic could not bring many casualties to the Soviets, because Chuikov gave another order...... As soon as the cannon fire was heard, all the soldiers stationed in the building moved into the basement.

Basements are usually separated from above-ground buildings by a thick layer of soil, and they are located in the strongest part of the foundation, so even if the above-ground buildings are all blown up, they often do not pose a threat to the basement.

The Soviets waited there for the shelling to end, and then they could move through the tunnels to other buildings or to the ground.

"But that doesn't change anything, does it?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Colonel Slein replied: "They have shipped 'Karl', and besides 'Dora' is already being assembled. They will think that conventional artillery may not be of much use, but 'Karl' and 'Dora' can! ”

In Qin Chuan's expectations, the cannon was supposed to be the product of outdated military doctrine during World War I, because the size of these cannons was too large, and the personnel and materials needed to support and use them were not cost-effective, or worse, ...... Gadgets like the Dora cannon also had to be on the lookout for enemy air force attacks, as Soviet air pilots would have seen a huge target from afar.

Therefore, the deployment of the "Dora" cannon is not a simple matter of a giant cannon, it must also lay anti-aircraft fire around it, and even arrange fighter planes for it to protect the surrounding airspace.

And all of this is so that it can fire three shells per hour, and its barrel life is only 150 rounds.

If it makes sense to use it against a fortified battery like Sevastopol, because each of these fortified batteries has considerable value, but to fight Stalingrad...... What if you destroy a building or a few tunnels? There were tens of millions of such buildings in Stalingrad, and the Soviets were able to dig several similar tunnels in no time.

But it was clear that Wittsheim and even Paulus were not going to give up easily halfway through the plan, even if Colonel Slein, who made the suggestion, realized that he was wrong.

"I'm sorry, Major!" Colonel Slane said.

"What?"

"I'm referring to this stupid suggestion I made!"

"Please, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "This has nothing to do with you!" ”

Colonel Slain shook his head, and left without saying a word.

Qin Chuan could understand Colonel Slain's thoughts, he was not actually frustrated by the unsuccessful suggestion, but because the suggestion he made would kill many of his subordinates and even German soldiers in other units.

This is true, as the situation has deteriorated further.

The Germans were on the attacking side, and they had to attack regardless of whether there were ruins or buildings in front of them.

If it was a building, German soldiers could also approach the building under the cover of tanks and clear it one by one.

But if there is a ruin in front of you, then the tank will not only do nothing, but will become a burden...... The German infantry had to brave the enemy's bullets and artillery fire to occupy the ruins and clear a passage that would allow the tanks to continue their advance.

Even more frightening was the fact that the Soviets would try to fight the Germans in close quarters at any time, that is, to a distance of about 50 meters, even in ruins.

And this distance is even the distance at which grenades are thrown, and both the enemy and the enemy can throw grenades at each other while hiding in the trenches.

That is, it will not be safe at any time, eating, resting, and even at a convenient time, it is possible to suddenly throw a grenade with green smoke from the opposite side.

As a result, one bloody battle after another unfolded between the Soviet and German armies.

The two armies were so close together that artillery, tanks, planes were all useless...... To be exact, artillery was still useful, because the Soviets sometimes fired at the front line completely ignoring the fact that shells would kill their own people, after all, for them, it was earned to kill a few Germans.

This brought the combat closer to the First World War, or to be more precise, to primitive hand-to-hand combat...... After a grenade was thrown over, it shouted and charged at the opposing position.

Fifty meters away, it took almost a blink of an eye to rush in, and then bayonets, stones, teeth, everything you could use.

The 1st Infantry Regiment had a clear advantage in this regard, again because of the MP43.

Equipped with MP43s, even though they were only 50 meters between us and the enemy, their firepower was still able to push back the Soviets' charges again and again.

Even so, the First Regiment paid more than 500 casualties...... This casualty was already counted for the whole army, because the rest of the German army even had a few regiments left.

But for the 1st Infantry Regiment, such casualties were already impossible to ignore. In particular, the 1st Infantry Regiment is still an elite unit, they can parachute, coordinate with tanks, and even amphibious landing, but all these skills cannot be used, and they can only stay in the ruins and throw grenades or hand-to-hand combat with the Soviets.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Colonel Slane finally couldn't bear this torture anymore, he called Qin Chuan to his headquarters, and said distressedly: "Major, we can't let the battle continue like this!" ”

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "But Colonel, you should know that if I had a way, I wouldn't let myself fall into such danger!" ”

"But you always have a way, don't you?" Colonel Slane said, "Anyway, put an end to this!" ”

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said, "If there is any way, I think ...... We should not be led by the nose by the Soviets like this, that is, to change the method of the game! ”

"Yes, of course we have to change!" Colonel Slein said: "The question is how to change! ”

"We're going to change the direction of the attack!" Qin Chuan looked at the map, then pointed to a point and said: "Attack it and save it, and force the Soviets to fight a regular war with us!" ”
