At the same time, Andrei and his staff officers also considered how to build the fortifications of Mamayev Hill in the headquarters, Andrei found that the altitude of Mamayev Gang is only 102 meters, and the terrain is relatively flat, to be honest, it is not a suitable place for defense, but this is the commanding height of Stalingrad, below is the central railway station, and you can also overlook the whole city, this specific battlefield environment determines that this commanding height will affect the trend of the whole battle

Of course, this is not to say that whoever controls the Mamayev Gang can sit back and wait for victory to come - but if the Mamayev Gang remains in the hands of the enemy, the greatest advantage in other directions may be fleeting

It can be said that the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the success or failure of the entire battle are tied to one point, and at that point, tens of thousands of people are smashed and then the corpses are scattered all over the field and rivers of blood are almost negligible losses in the eyes of the commanders of both sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOtherwise, this wouldn't have been a flesh mill in history.

And all the staff officers of course also know this, although now I dare not say that the Germans will come to the city, but now the Soviet army is retreating all the way, which hits Stalingrad, Mamayev Gang must be one of the main goals of the German army, all of them must build a defense system, and Andrei proposed his own solution

"It's a tunnel, an anticline."

"Tunnels? Anticline?. The staff officers were puzzled by these two words

"Yes!" Andrei continued: "This tunnel is simply a tunnel, and it can also be said to be a larger, deeper bomb shelter. You can hide more people

"But Commander, what's the use of this?" Plavio couldn't help but say with some disappointment: "Isn't the larger bomb shelter the same as not being able to withstand the heavy artillery and aircraft bombardment of the Germans, and hiding more people is not more dead?" ”

"Listen to me first!" was interrupted by Plavia, Andre was really helpless, but what can Plavia do with this responsible character. To make it clearer. Andrei put down his teacup and grabbed a few snacks on the table. He made the appearance of a mountain on the table, and pointed to that one. "This mountain has two sides, one is facing the enemy, and it is a positive slope; One side is facing us, and it's the anticline. If we build fortifications on the positive slope, the enemy will be completely destroyed at a burst of artillery fire, and it will be completely unfortunate.

So what if we build the fortifications and tunnels on the anticline?

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and built the fortifications on the anticline, and no one had ever done this. And there is no such education in digging fortifications in the education of military academies

"Can this be done? A staff officer asked: "Our troops occupy the hill in order to take advantage of the high ground, if we build fortifications on the anticline. Isn't that the initiative to give up the mountaintop and high ground to the enemy? ”

"If there is a gain, there must be a loss, right? Andrei replied: "And it's not so simple to give up the top of the hill to the enemy, as soon as the enemy's shelling is over, we can come out of the tunnel on the anticline plane and seize the position on the high ground of the mountain, we have a short distance, then we can't outrun those Germans, and we can also deploy some small troops in the main position, and at the same time build anti-artillery holes and cat's ear holes to reduce casualties and buy time for the tunnel."

"I think it's fine!" Pravio, who had just objected, said excitedly: "In the construction of fortifications on the anti-slope, the enemy's tank guns, cannons and other direct-fire guns have become decorations. Howitzers and mortars, although they can be fired, can reduce the enemy's artillery fire to a great extent. ”

"That's right". A staff officer also nodded and said: As soon as the division commander said this, I also think it is good, as soon as the enemy retreats, we will retreat to the tunnel, and when the enemy's artillery fire is about to come up, we will also look at it, even if the hilltop position is not held, it doesn't matter, you can also withdraw to the main position of the anticline! The enemy climbed to the top of the hill and came out, and we will hit a target or a live target in the main position! ”

At the same time, Andrei said that we still need to build a hiding hole in the rear, because of the terrain of the Mamayev Heights, it is impossible for us to place all six regiments here, so in the southeast of the heights, near the wharf, there is a large settlement, I have observed, there are some solid high-rise buildings, there is no problem in hiding the strength of the three regiments there. As soon as the forces on the high ground are tight, your reinforcements can rush from the settlements in a matter of minutes' walk. ”

After listening to my words, a staff officer looked at the map again, and after glancing at his companion, he nodded with a smile and flattered me: "Comrade division commander is still thoughtful, and it is indeed the best choice to put a few regiments in the residential areas of the highlands." ”

Andrei ignored his sycophants, looked up and said to Plavia: "The task of holding the main position at Mamayev Hill is to be taken care of by one regiment, and most of the troops are placed in the cave on the south side of the hillside, and there must not be too many troops on the front of the defense, just put a few companies on the surface position, and two more regiments can be arranged near the railway station at that time." ”

You must know that in the past few years, in the "Shangganling", the United States did not use the upper bazooka, flamethrowers and explosives bags to destroy the tunnels of the volunteers, and the supporting artillery of the volunteers never stopped killing and injuring the US troops on the surface position of the "Shangganling"; This back-and-forth attack resulted in heavy casualties among the U.S. troops, while the volunteers on the "Shangganling" suffered little losses; The ammunition of "Van Vliet" was also nearly exhausted, and the material preparations for the counterattack of the volunteers were becoming more and more sufficient; In those days, the reputation of the "king of land warfare" was undoubtedly that the Volunteer Army, as long as the ammunition was sufficient, the American Army was not an opponent of the Volunteer Army at all; The only thing that supports the momentum of the US offensive is strong firepower, and the Volunteer Army, with the material support of the Soviet Union, is gradually making up for this gap.......

In the end, the United States sensibly chose the "armistice" .......

"Shangganling" was fought in a hurry, and the volunteers also learned the way to control the enemy through war; If the volunteers were armed with a large number of heavy machine guns in the tunnels, such as... The 5mm heavy machine gun will definitely be able to defeat the American troops who attack the tunnels of friendly neighbors; If you are equipped with bazookas and 60~82mm mortars to destroy the bunker fortifications of the US army at night, it will make the US army even more desperate......

There is no shortage of examples of tunnel warfare, and RB also used tunnel warfare in the battle for the United States islands, and in the end it could not escape the fate of annihilation; The success of the "Shangganling Tunnel Warfare" lies in the rear support artillery fire, and the tunnel warfare of RB does not have such artillery support; In addition, the stone powder of "Shangganling" also made the United States reap its own fruits......

He is a Soviet army with inferior equipment level and German army, but it is also a grade, even in the face of the world's first army, Lao Tzu can also break the teeth of the Germans!
