800 collapsed houses

In the city, SS troops were clearing every room of the Soviet troops stationed there.

They were methodical, relying on numerical superiority and superiority in weapons, and simply endured high casualties to replace the living space of the Soviet troops.

When a building was completely occupied, SS troops would remain behind to prevent the Soviet counterattack as much as possible.

The two sides smashed the streets and fought desperately, sometimes just across the road, and the houses on both sides were garrisoned by soldiers from different camps.

Everyone poked their guns out of the window and shot at each other across the road, the bullets hitting the walls and making a crackling sound, but no one dared to poke their heads out.

At such a close distance, if you are hit by a bullet flying from the opposite side, you are really hopeless. No one wanted to make such an attempt, so they all shot at random.

An SS soldier from Belarus poked his Mauser 98K rifle out of the window, then pulled the trigger with his eyes closed.

He could feel a bullet hit his rifle, and he could feel the vibration of a bullet coming from his window.

Subconsciously, after firing a shot, he retracted his weapon and waited for the other party's possible retaliation.

After two days of fighting, the infantry company of the Belarusian soldier has already lost 30 soldiers.

This loss was almost one-fifth of the strength of a company, and the reason why they had not yet collapsed was simply the hatred of the enemies of the Soviet Union.

Of course, because Germany was on the offensive, the speed of replenishment was also very fast. They gained 20 recruits, but 15 more were killed that day.

After all, this is a brutal street fight, and this is a hell to be filled with human lives. The 15th SS Division, as well as the 19th and 20th Divisions, were responsible for the task of attacking fortifications, and the losses were naturally huge.

However, in order to better complete their mission, on the second day of the battle, many reinforcements were assigned to their troops.

For example, the sappers who originally belonged to the Wehrmacht, as well as some special weapons for street fighting, also arrived at the front line with the sappers.

Among them, the most popular among several foreign legions is the bazooka weapon known as Iron Fist.

This weapon has always been the heavy firepower of the German infantry, and it did not cause problems for the Soviet troops. After getting this weapon, the Belarusian soldiers found out that this weapon turned out to be so useful.

For example, at this time, they were waiting, waiting for the arrival of the German engineering troops behind them, and using this weapon to give the fools in the opposite building a cruel blow.

"The sappers are coming!" With a shout of happiness, all the soldiers cheered up. Although they didn't know where the sappers were downstairs, they let out a low cheer.

The Soviet soldiers on the opposite side also seemed to feel that they were in danger, and the strength of the counterattack weakened.

Leaning against the wall, he waited for a dull explosion across the street, the force of which even blew dust into the room where the German troops were stationed.

Then, with their weapons, many German soldiers rushed through the street and into the building where the Soviets were stationed with a large hole in the wall.

The gunfire continued, endlessly. At the end of this street, there is another street that is constantly fighting, and at the end of that street, there is another street that exists.

Farther away, countless clouds of black smoke have obscured the sky, and the Navy's warships are providing long-range artillery suppression.

The huge shells whizzed over people's heads, crashed into the rubble, crashed into buildings, or landed in another, larger or smaller crater.

Just hearing the heart-rending explosion, many German soldiers from Estonia or Latvia felt the power of the Third Reich's war machine in their bones.

They really couldn't find any reason not to take refuge in such a powerful country, and they didn't know why the Russians on the other side didn't surrender in the face of such a powerful enemy.

Yes, this is a question worth exploring, because the Soviet side also reached the point of life and death, and no one wanted to surrender.

To say that Russia is a fighting nation is not false at all. The Soviet Union and its predecessor, Tsarist Russia, fought wars with all the countries on its borders to annex so many peoples and so many lands.

And this is the second time, and their country is facing an existential test. The first crisis was brought about by Napoleon, and the second crisis was the masterpiece of the demon god Hitler.

To be able to thwart these powerful men who are famous in history knows that the Russian nation is a wolf nation that fights bloody battles.

After arousing the fighting spirit, the courage they showed on the battlefield is definitely worthy of admiration.

Another round of artillery fell, and a distant building trembled in the explosion. Finally, because of the tremors, it was overwhelmed, and finally collapsed in the constant vibration.

The mottled cracks that had been left on the walls began to crumble out of place, and the outer walls collapsed, revealing the inner floors, as well as the load-bearing walls inside.

Russian architecture has to be highlighted here, because most of the entire Soviet Union was in the north of the planet, and the weather was cold most of the time.

In order to adapt to this climate, Russian architecture is characterized by a distinctive feature, with narrow, high and narrow windows. This is done to ensure that the lighting is not only done, but also to reduce the gaps as much as possible in winter and improve the ability to keep warm.

The second point is even more interesting, the walls of Russian buildings are thick, and the purpose is also to ensure the indoor temperature in winter.

Thick walls, and relatively small windows—isn't that what turrets do? So it's not easy to fight street battles in Russia and destroy buildings.

Many buildings are guaranteed to stand even if there is only one wall left. Many of the buildings have collapsed by two-thirds, and what remains is still strong enough to live in......

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to clear the Soviet soldiers stationed inside the building.

In the real historical time and space, this was the case in Stalingrad; This is true of Leningrad and Moscow today.

The building, which collapsed in the shock of the shell explosion, survived the shelling for the most part.

In the night sunset, it still stands there, revealing the hideous steel bars, and you can see the wardrobe table in the room, and you can see the chandelier and the wooden bed inside.
