And this scene happened everywhere in the city of Stalingrad, at night Andrei received a report from the sniper detachment, and the various safari groups killed 309 German soldiers in one day, and the German army was all soldiers, after all, when you were eating and resting, a bullet suddenly flew in, which felt like no one would like it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As a result, the Germans were again on alert with machine-gun fire, and they were spraying flamethrowers everywhere next to the camp to clear the dead spots.

So, in the evening, Andrei came to the headquarters to report to Chuikov and asked if there was any support in the near future, and after listening to the report, Chuikov turned to Krylov and said: "I really didn't expect that the results achieved by sniper tactics were so great, more than one of our brigades or even a division of the enemy eliminated in battle." ”

After hearing this, Krylov just smiled and nodded, and then asked me: "Comrade Andrei, I would like to hear if you have any new ideas for the next battle?" ”

Andrei thought for a moment and said with a little hesitation: "There are two ideas. ”

"Well, you still have two ideas, let's hear them!" Hearing that I had new ideas, not only Krylov, but even Chuikov became excited, urging me one after another: "Hurry up and talk about it." ”

"The first plan was to hope that the commander would draw a large number of sharpshooters from the subordinate units of the army group, train them as snipers and cooperate with the assault engineering teams I mentioned earlier, and then distribute them to all corners of the city, and the snipers would be responsible for hunting down German soldiers. Although the results of each sniper will not be too large, they will not be able to withstand the number of our snipers, and they may achieve more results than we can achieve with a large-scale counterattack, while the assault engineers are responsible for controlling and counterattacking while protecting the points and the snipers. ”

Both Krylov and Chuikov nodded in praise of the plan, and Andrei then gave up the second plan, except for the Mamayev post, where the defenders abandoned their positions and retreated into the city

"Abandon your position and retreat into the city?" After repeating my words, Krylov asked with interest: "I would like to hear if you have any good ways to block the enemy's attack after the troops are withdrawn into the city." ”

"That's right, Comrade Chief of Staff." I did not hide my thoughts from this kind chief of staff of the army group, and said to him bluntly: "There are not many strong fortifications, and under the enemy's powerful artillery fire, the commanders and fighters who hold on to the high ground will suffer heavy losses." Therefore, our army found some strong buildings in the city, and equipped each building with a combat detachment composed of 50~100 soldiers commanded by party members, and entrenched in these support points to fight the enemy who rushed into the city. In order to dispel his concerns, Andrei also deliberately emphasized that "as long as the enemy and our fighters are twisted, the enemy's aircraft artillery will be useless." At that time, our commanders and fighters can rely on their familiarity with the terrain to beat the enemy into a daze, and with the decisive counterattack of the sniper team and the assault engineers, we can completely stabilize the position. ”

"Well, that's a good idea, as long as we hold on, reinforcements will arrive next." After Krylov finished speaking, Chuikov on this side immediately said: "And General Rodimtsev's 13th Guards Division will arrive tomorrow, and we are now preparing for a counterattack tomorrow!" "The disadvantage has to fight back! At the same time, it was heard that General Rodimtsev's Guards Division was coming. Andrei's heart began to beat faster. In Andrei's known history, the focus of the Soviet army in Stalingrad for a period of September was under the control of him and his troops. Now that the troops holding the Mamayev Heights have become Siberian Volunteer Divisions that did not exist in their original history, then the Guards Division will be able to draw enough troops to participate in the counterattack. As a result, the counterattack that Chuikov is about to carry out tomorrow has added variables. After waiting for Chuikov and Krylov to explain the situation, Andrei said tentatively to Chuikov: "Comrade commander, shouldn't you send someone to meet the Guards Division, lest they accidentally break into the enemy's artillery strike area after crossing the river and suffer unnecessary casualties." ”

"Colonel Andrei, you don't have to worry about this." Krylov, who had finished the phone call at some point, also walked back to the table, and continued my topic: "I have just called Colonel Tupichev, the chief of the engineering troops of the army group, and asked him to lead the staff group of the army group to cross the river overnight to the Krasnosloboda area to meet the Guards Division. ”

And Chuikov said: "Andrey, your Siberian Volunteer Division is now stationed at the Central Railway Station and Mamayev Post, and this time it will not participate in the counterattack, but your artillery and sniper detachments and your reconnaissance battalion will come to cooperate with the counterattack!" ”

At this time, Andrei was still glad that he did not participate in this historically defeated counterattack, but he didn't know that the direction of the Battle of Stalingrad changed because of his relationship!

On the way back to the division headquarters, Andrei looked at the devastation on the side of the road and was full of emotion, the current Stalingrad is a Shura dojo, suddenly, the guard platoon commander Jacques in front of the jeep, suddenly shouted: "Division commander be careful, there are Germans!" The driver immediately turned immediately, but the German bullets came quickly, Jacques immediately picked up the submachine gun next to him, raised it and strafed, Andrei also bent down and fired back with an assault rifle, mobile shooting is actually difficult to aim because you are in a high-speed moving car, it is difficult to master the amount of advance in the operation, but Andrei and Jacques are well-trained, so the Germans on the opposite side still have people shot, and, the Germans found at a glance that there were Soviet officers in the car, so they continued to pursue, and a tank soon appeared here, But it was not the German tank, but the Soviet, the tank quickly shot the Germans and then as soon as the jeep stopped, and when the door was opened, Andrei rolled on the ground with a high posture, and the fighters next to him immediately formed a defensive formation around him, and at a glance they knew that they were fighters from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because defending important people was the subject of their training, and the fighters from the field troops next to them quickly went to eliminate the Germans, and when they saw the division commander, a captain immediately ran over and reported: "Report to Comrade Division Commander, Sergei, the commander of the third company of the first battalion of the third regiment, report to you." , I have been ordered to come and meet you. ”

Looking at this company commander, Andrei said: "Well, Comrade Sergey, you came in time, who ordered you to come?" And Sergei said: "Report to Comrade Division Commander, it was the Chief of Staff who informed the regiment commander that you were going to return to the division headquarters from here, and the Germans have recently often sent small units to infiltrate our control areas, so the regiment commander ordered us to meet you on the road, and at the same time asked the tank battalion to send a tank to support, and the tank battalion also brought one of your guard squads when it came." ”

Now Andrei also knows that a counterattack is still necessary, the Germans are now determined to win Stalingrad, blindly defending can only make the German army more and more arrogant, and hurt the Germans, in order to make them have some restraint, know that the Soviet army is not a sheep but a beast, and at the same time can also drive momentum, it can be said that the war is exactly like this, not only fighting wits but also fighting bravery, so there must be an offensive next, even if the counterattack will fail, at least improve the tense situation!

And a piece of news in the evening made Andrei and even Moscow ecstatic! (To be continued.) )
