Worse still, if the war continues like this, the area controlled by the Soviets will soon become smaller and smaller, and soon even reinforcements will not be able to be sent in, because there will be no place for them.

"Have you ever heard of the 'legendary sergeant', Comrade Krylov?" Chuikov asked.

"Yes, Comrade Chuikov!" Krylov replied: "I heard that the Germans held Holm on his advice!" ”

Chuikov nodded and said: "Not just Holm, but also Crimea, Sevastopol, and even Baku!" ”

Krylov's eyes widened when he heard this, all of which he did not know.

Krylov didn't know that this was normal, because since Holm, the Soviet army has blocked the intelligence of the "legendary sergeant", because it is a matter for the Soviet army to "grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige", which will seriously affect the morale of the Soviet army.

Chuikov nodded, his eyes retracted from the map, and said to Krylov: "So, I have reason to believe that my opponent is actually this 'legendary sergeant', if we can't find a new way......"

Chuikov won't go on with the rest of the story.

Krylov looked at the map and said: "Comrade Chuikov, I think we can increase the night offensive, I mean, put more troops into building more tunnels. Transporting troops farther away to launch an offensive against the Germans...... If we can win at night, we can recapture the buildings we lost during the day, so we can hold the line! ”

Chuikov shook his head and replied: "Judging by last night's offensive, the Germans will put themselves on complete defense as soon as they get to the night. They even went so far as to give up some of the buildings they had occupied during the day to maintain a line of defense. On the other hand, they also have a series of measures against our tunnels, and although we don't know exactly what they used, they are clearly effective, as they are no longer in the same chaos as before. In this way, attacking at night will have no advantage at all for us, and there will be no result except for increased casualties! ”

Krylov objected: "But if you don't beat them back at night......"

Krylov's words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.

The advantage of the Soviet army was to fight at night, because this could weaken the German army's air supremacy and the advantage that there were more tanks than the Soviet army.

If the Germans could not be repulsed at night, then it was only a matter of time before the Germans advanced 500 meters, 200 meters, or 50 meters during the day, and the fall of Stalingrad was only a matter of time.

"So!" Chuikov replied: "We need to find a way, a way to be able to fight the Germans during the day!" ”

Chuikov's thinking was correct, if it was impossible to repel the Germans at night, then it was necessary to be able to block the Germans during the day.

But it seems like a bit of a fantasy, and the reason is known to all...... The Germans had fighters and tanks, and they could take advantage of these advantages to bombard buildings one by one, pushing the battle line forward meter by meter.

Krylov and other Soviet officers believed that it was better to look for a means of attacking at night than to find a method of attacking at night under such conditions, since the gap between them at night was not so great.

But Chuikov did not think so, and the next day he went out of the underground bunker that served as the headquarters to observe the German offensive.

At this time, Qin Chuan and others were attacking the Soviet-controlled area.

The "lattice tactic" not only facilitated the defense of the German army, but also facilitated the German offensive, because after this division, all units would know which areas were within their own attack, and even the coordination of artillery and even the air force would be beneficial.

For example, Qin Chuan and others were going to attack the 15th District, and the first battalion was met with stubborn resistance from a group of Soviet troops when they advanced, and the tanks of the first battalion went up several times without knowing where they were destroyed by the anti-tank guns hiding there...... Anti-tank guns are low, making them difficult to spot in ruins or buildings.

Later, when the fight was helpless, Qin Chuan shouted to the artillery liaison officer: "We need artillery support!" ”

The artillery liaison officer contacted the artillery units in the rear with walkie-talkies and shouted several times in a row: "Shelling the third sector of the 15th square!" ”

In order to make the artillery bombardment more accurate, they also divided each cell into several zones.

The artillerymen also had the same zoning map in their hands, so they immediately knew where to shell...... If there is no division, it will take a lot of effort just to indicate and confirm the direction for the artillery.

A few minutes later, there was a whistling of artillery fire in the air, and the shells exploded in front of the line like a fireworks display, blowing up the Soviet positions to a pulp.

Qin Chuan took advantage of this time and rushed up with his soldiers, without the cover of a tank...... Qin Chuan hoped to be able to fight fast and slowly, and rush into the defense line before the Soviet troops could react to the artillery bombardment. Then, the MP43 in the hands of the German army and the quality of the German army can take a big advantage.

But then an accident happened...... Soviet artillery also fired at the same coordinates, that is, 15 blocks of the 3rd sector.

This is generally uncommon, because it was the position of the Soviets, and there are only two possibilities for this to happen: one is that the artillery hits the wrong position, and the Soviet artillery often hits the wrong position. The other is to kill and wound the enemy, regardless of the casualties of his own people.

Qin Chuan believed that this time it was likely to be the latter, because when the Soviet officers saw a large group of Germans rushing up with MP43s and following the artillery fire, they knew that if they were not stopped by artillery fire, they would also die.

"Keep going!" Qin Chuan ordered loudly.

Because he knew that if it was such an artillery bombardment, it would be aimed at a position in front of the Soviet trenches, that is, where the German soldiers were located, so it was most dangerous to stay where they were.

Ahead was the Soviet trenches, where Soviet soldiers were still guarded...... In fact, the trench is just a small ditch or a "bunker" made out of some masonry and stone in the ruins.

Qin Chuan and the others jumped into the trench in the face of artillery fire, and then they fell down and did not dare to move...... Because the shells blew up debris of masonry and stone, they could be hit if they looked up slightly

So at that moment there was a strange scene: the enemy and the enemy were lying in the same trench, surrounded by flying stones and shrapnel, everyone was wrapped in smoke and dust, although they could feel that the enemy was lying on their stomachs, but neither side took action...... They can't be sure of this, and at the same time any action puts themselves at risk.

At this moment, they just wanted to save their lives in the whistling shrapnel, and the hostility between them seemed to be swept away by the cannonballs that fell on their heads mercilessly and indiscriminately...... At that moment, they seemed to be all in the same boat.
