Chapter Seventy-Six: Before the Storm 1

Moreover, Andrei also knew on the way to his post that although some people now realized that the Germans would hit Stalingrad, they could not spread such news. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info You know, if anyone mentions the construction of fortifications on the Mamayev Heights, it is tantamount to saying that the enemy is likely to approach the city named after the Supreme Commander himself. Well, to put it well, this is a ridiculous idea. It's not a good way to put it. It's a sign of defeatism. In a recent briefing. But many soldiers, including some civilians, were executed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for treason because they braged about the speed of the German advance on Soviet territory and the forced retreat of the Soviet troops! ”
But Andrei also knows that according to the development of the battle, the Soviet army will never be able to block the German army on the periphery, you must know that the field capability of the German army at this time is still above the Soviet army, the main attack of the 6th Army under the jurisdiction of the 8th, 11th, 51st Infantry Army, the 14th Armored Army, this is definitely a hard bone, this is one of the most powerful field armies of the German army, with a peak strength of more than 300,000, the strength is equivalent to the small and medium-sized front army of the Soviet army, and the artillery strength may be even worse. Moreover, during the battle, the German high command continued to increase the strength of troops in this direction, and the 4th Panzer Army, the 2nd Army, the 2nd Hungarian Army, the 3rd and 4th Romanian Armies, and the Italian 8th Army participated in the battle. You must know that at the time of the final encirclement, the Soviet army took two fronts to encircle it, plus other troops surrounded the 6th Army, and the Soviet Union really smashed in for this battle! At least half of the troops that could be mobilized in the country at that time were pulled to Stalingrad!
And what he is going to take over is a cannon fodder unit composed of prisoners of the Gulag concentration camp, Andrei doesn't know how many people will live until the day of victory, because if the German army hits the Mamayev Gang, then it will be a bloody battle, not to mention these soldiers, I have to explain it if I can't do it well, you must know that the average survival time in Stalingrad, the officers are not better than the soldiers!
So how do you train next! The first is street fighting, yes, street fighting, although the Mamayev Gang is a positional battle, but their own troops may be transferred into the city, and I also know that if they withstand the German attack, they must prevent the interruption of contact with other Soviet troops, and it is indispensable to street fighting!
Street fighting, also commonly referred to as "urban warfare", is because street fighting is a street-by-street, house-by-house battle, usually in a city or a large village... Its striking characteristics are that the enemy and the enemy are hand-to-hand combat, and the cruelty is great, and the two sides fiercely fight for the fortified buildings, the main streets, and the commanding heights. Second, the enemy and the enemy are mixed with each other, and the movements of the armies of the two sides are restricted, and many local independent battles often form.
The biggest difference between street fighting and field warfare is that the battlefield is divided by countless buildings arranged according to certain rules, and any tactical unit is in a relatively closed and narrow scene, which brings restrictions to the observation and use of firepower on the side. At the same time, for your enemies, this problem also exists, except that they are more familiar with the structure of the scene and are on the defensive, all of which makes the alley tactic the most complex infantry tactic, the walls on both sides of the street block the enemy's line of sight, but also protect your tactical units from direct fire, so in a sense, the street combat tactic is the tactic of surrounding the wall, which is directly reflected in the use of various corners, whether it is observation or attack and defense, is achieved through corners.
But isn't your own army the best teacher? With the skills and training of special forces, you should be able to quickly master the essentials of street fighting, and then the Soviets can completely offset the advantages of the German army, dragging the Germans to death with snipers, hand-to-hand combat and close combat!
Another one, according to the terrain, the Mamayev Gang is only 102 high, and it is relatively flat and there is no danger to defend at all, so how should the fortifications be built?
Eh, by the way, Shangganling! Tunnels! The tunnel fortification is generally composed of two parts: the mouth and the main body. The structural types are straight wall vault, horseshoe and round. Its span and length are determined according to the requirements of use. According to the use, the tunnel fortifications can be divided into: command post tunnels, combat tunnels, cantonment tunnels, ambulance station tunnels, ammunition material tunnels, traffic tunnels and other special-purpose tunnels. According to the nature of the project, it can be divided into field tunnels and permanent tunnels. Compared with field tunnels, permanent tunnels generally have a thicker natural protective layer, are covered with solid and durable building materials such as stone and concrete, and have relatively complete ventilation, lighting, work and living facilities inside, and usually adopt more comprehensive collective protective measures against the comprehensive lethal and destructive factors caused by nuclear, chemical, biological and conventional weapons.
Yes, if a perfect tunnel is dug at the Mamayev Height, it can completely drag the Germans, so that the Germans cannot occupy the position at all, and they also know that as long as there is a tunnel, people drill into it, no matter how ruthless the Germans' shells are, it is useless, and even if the Germans occupy the surface position, as long as he can't destroy the defenders, then the Soviet army can drive the Germans down with a counterattack!
The key is the battle for the anticline, the battle of Shangganling, the defense of the tunnel of the Volunteer Army on the Shangganling is actually the classic anticline defense, as well as the artillery fire support of the anticline through several observation posts set up on the ridge line, etc
And the U.S. army also had a successful battle to attack the anti-slope position, when our army's ridge line was lost, they pounced with all their might at a very fast speed, so that the volunteers had no time to warn and did not have time to deploy troops to occupy the position, and were directly blocked in the tunnel, because the tunnel mouth is narrow and the troops cannot be deployed, two guns can seal you in the whole row in the tunnel, even if there are a few more bends in the tunnel, he can't eat you for a while, but it can also kill you
There is also the most classic ridge offensive and defensive battle that lasts for several days, which includes the US army steadily using the advantage of artillery fire to gradually control the ridge line, and the volunteers will stick to the anti-slope position to drag on for time, and at night the new troops, that is, the reserve team will move to regain control of the ridge line, this tactic has been repeatedly mentioned in China's propaganda for the Shangganling Campaign, that is, the US army occupies the position during the day, and the volunteer army counterattacks at night to re-occupy the position, this position refers to the ridge line, There is also a simple fortification emergency construction method when the ridge line offensive and defensive war is most intense, when attacking, several people push an empty gasoline barrel crawling forward, which is loaded with some shovels and shovels that are not easy to break, as well as building materials or half a bucket of cement, sand and soil or something, blocking bullets, shrapnel is very effective, when the barrel stands up near the ridgeline, it turns out that one side has been chiseled a small opening, and the other side has also made an activity, as soon as it is opened, it becomes a shooting fortification, and more than a dozen such fortifications suddenly stand up, It is said that this trick was invented by the South Korean troops first to strengthen the ridge line position when the opponent is not paying attention, greatly increasing the difficulty of the opponent's counterattack.
In short, the battle of Shangganling is simply a textbook anticline position offensive and defensive battle, and later in the war against Vietnam, the attack and defense of the mountain defense anticline position in the face of this battle is simply pediatric, in fact, the battle of Shangganling tells future generations the most important truth is how important it is to build an anticline position in the mountain defense war!
Thinking of this, Andrei was a little relieved, after all, if he hid in the tunnel, not only the soldiers who were not himself might be able to wait until he was alive to see the 6th Army annihilated!
