Chapter 121: The Battle in a Desperate Situation 1
As a generation of famous generals, of course, Chuikov knows how important the Mamayev Gang is to the defense of the entire Stalingrad, which is simply a throat, but as the commander of the city defense, Chuikov is also difficult, the reinforcements are still on the way, the Air Force has been paralyzed in the many confrontations in front, and the next replenishment is still on the way. Now the entire 62nd Army is still a lot www.biquge.info of people except Andrei's Siberian Volunteer Division, some infantry divisions are now only more than 500 people, and now the tank troops of the group army are now only tank troops, the tanks have almost lost everything, and they were forced to withdraw across the Volga River to reorganize, Andrei's infantry division therefore undertook the defense of the two key points of Mamayev Hill and the Central Railway Station, after all, the Siberian Volunteer Division is now the most numerous, and the equipment is not bad through the capture, and it is necessary to support Chuikov now has a little long-range artillery and a few Katyusha in his hands, but as soon as the cannon is fired in broad daylight, the German planes should lay eggs!
So Chuikov gritted his teeth and said to Andrei: "Colonel Yakov, the Air Force now has no planes, the group army now has no reserves, and the instructor now only has the staff officers and guards of the headquarters, and the instructor is not only an order but also hopes that you can overcome difficulties and hold your position, please!" ”
Hearing it, Chuikov said that this is on it, Andrei knows it, and the next support cannot be counted on, and the next thing is to fight for the Mamayev Gang, even if it is light, it must be withstanded! There is no support
Andrei began to think about what to do? Tunnel warfare is actually a kind of "helpless tactic", a workaround for our side to not be able to give up its position even if its firepower is inferior to that of the other side, and there is a saying that "defense without reinforcements is nothing but chronic suicide." For example, the victory in the famous Battle of Shangganling not only served the persistence of the heroes, but also the continuous supply of the rear headquarters. During the Battle of Shangganling, the casualty rate of the Volunteer Army's fire line transporters was as high as 90%, far exceeding the casualty rate of the tunnel troops. On the mountain road leading to the two highlands of Shangganling, the blood of the fire line transporters was sprinkled, and a large amount of materials were lost on the road, and very few were sent into the tunnel. For this reason, the Political Department of the 15th Army specially ordered: Whoever sends a basket of apples into the pit will be credited with second-class merit! You must know that when the campaign is in progress, even the front-line troops, including Huang Jiguang and other martyrs, will report their merits first, and they will all wait for the end of the battle before they will be evaluated. Therefore, this second-class merit can be called a heavy reward.
Now your artillery fire can't fire, then the next thing on the high ground can only be filled with the lives of the soldiers, if you can't withstand it, then let the artillery desperately, but now is not the time!
On the heights, the surface positions had been completely destroyed, and the successive attacks failed, so that the Germans decided to completely destroy the Soviet positions on the heights, in the tunnels, the fighters of the pioneer company were ready, and then they would be the first to force the surface positions, and on the other side, the mortar companies were also ready in the tunnels for a while they were going to provide fire support!
And the voice of the sniper, who went out to hide the guard, shouted from the walkie-talkie: "The Germans are coming!" ”
Not only snipers, but other observation points also found that the German infantry began to charge towards the Mamayev Gang, because there was aircraft cover, so the German tanks were covering behind the infantry, and a battalion of German troops began to charge in the lead, and the Germans behind were also preparing, this time the Germans dispatched almost a regiment of infantry, and there were two 105 howitzer battalions behind, as well as long-range artillery support.
The commander of the assault company immediately left the tunnel with his fighters and began to go to the position, and the other troops followed, the position at this time was unusually quiet, and the strong firepower in front made the Germans very confident that the Soviet troops on the position had collapsed!
Therefore, the expression of the German soldier was very relaxed, and soon the German army was only more than 30 meters away from the hilltop position, and suddenly there was a "bang", and the head of the German lieutenant who led the team exploded directly, at the same time, hulala, a grenade fell from the sky like rain, boom, boom, the grenade of the assault company was very experienced, before throwing, the company commander deliberately calculated the time, and as a result, the German soldiers in the front row were blown up for the first time, and then the 30 submachine guns of the crackling assault company fired, this distance, Even if the recruits pulled the trigger to the end, they could hit the enemy, and the Germans suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
Even the instructor picked up a submachine gun and shouted to the other fighters: "Comrades, fight." And the Germans were not willing to give up, the others immediately rolled into the trench and raised their guns to shoot back, or threw grenades, just a few tens of meters, into a tragic fight, here a Soviet soldier with a submachine gun in his hand a long point shot knocked down the Germans, immediately the German retaliatory bullet will knock him down, a soldier shot the head of the Germans, and then the grenades thrown by the Germans blew him up to a bloody blur, and the commanders and fighters of the assault company suffered heavy casualties in just a few minutes!
The Germans continued to attack because the two sides were close, and the Germans' firepower could not be exerted, seeing that the Soviet troops were so fierce, the Germans immediately retreated, and the company commander reacted instantly, "Quickly retreat to the tunnel." Sure enough, the Germans shelled the position, boom boom, fortunately, the company commander's order was timely, and the casualties were not large, and then, the scene that happened, so that everyone was stunned, the remaining commanders and fighters of the assault company and another company that rushed to support came to the top of the hill to block the bomb crater, seeing that the comrades around him fell one by one, a soldier was shot in his right hand, and saw that the brothers who got along with him day and night had fallen, he put 6 grenades in his waist, and then pounced
"Long live the Soviets!"
The Germans were already very close to the Soviet positions
At this critical moment, a shout suddenly sounded in front of me, and I saw a soldier with only one hand running out of the crater and rushing towards the German soldiers without stopping for a moment. When he came to him, the German soldiers were surprised to find that he had 6 grenades on him......
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a wave of air rushed towards the German army, accompanied by blood and stumps and severed arms.
"Long live the Soviets!"
Another soldier ran out, also with two smoking explosive packets strapped to his body, and rushed towards the Germans in front of him without looking back......
The trenches were interconnected, and this practice seemed to be quickly accepted by the other fighters, and it was not long before the other fighters followed suit, one by one, carrying ignited explosive packets or bundles of wooden-handled grenades, shouting slogans and rushing into the German army, some of them even rolling down with two legs wounded. The eyes of the other Soviet fighters were moist, the instructor did not see, but the instructor knew, because the instructor himself ...... No matter how he gritted his teeth and stoic, tears still came out of his eyes disobediently.
The instructor did not speak, the instructor just beat the submachine gun in his hand loudly, as if he wanted to turn the hatred and tears in his heart into bullets and shoot at the enemy.
Huge explosions continued to come from the smoke, and every explosion was ignited by Soviet soldiers with their lives, at the cost of the lives of Soviet soldiers.
The German attack was originally very fierce, but gradually, their shouts of killing became quieter and quieter, and finally they fell completely silent.
They were shocked by the fighting spirit of the Soviet army in front of them, they didn't expect the Soviet army in front of them to be so fearless of death, and the German army, which had always been strong, was also shocked and frightened!
When Andrei knew that the fighters had once again held their positions with their lives and blood, and once again repelled the enemy's attack, only this time, no one at the division headquarters cheered......
The heroic performance of the soldiers made the division headquarters fall silent at this moment, and everyone was silently mourning for the soldiers in the battle report. ”
"Yes" the telegraph operator silently sent a telegram, it was almost dusk at the moment, and when he learned that the Germans had actually built a position and did not retreat, Andrei decided to launch a counterattack!
was so busy that he didn't eat all day, Andrei had someone at hand at the moment bringing him hot tea, and glanced at the girl who wanted to talk and stopped, Andrei was not in the mood to say anything more at the moment, and Andrei had just drunk the sweetened black tea, the phone at the division headquarters rang, it was Chuikov calling, as soon as the call began, Chuikov said: "Colonel Yakov, I already know the heroic performance of the soldiers of your division in the afternoon, you can rest assured that their contributions will not be forgotten, you will send the list over immediately in a while, I will give them credit, And send the medal to their loved ones! ”
Hearing Chuikov's words, Andrei was in a much better mood at this time, most of his soldiers were from the Gulag, and the country did not give them any great favors at the beginning, but at the critical moment of the survival of this nation, these soldiers proved with their practical actions what is fighting for the country and what is patriotism!
Thinking of the Maozi time-traveling drama, when the young people watched how their ancestors fought desperately and bloodily against the Nazis and fought for the country, in just 72 hours, they immediately matured, and they understood what patriotism is and how to respect history. And for the other commanders and fighters in the army, the performance of these soldiers is enough to motivate them!
Finding that Andrei did not respond, Chuikov immediately said: "Colonel Yakov, I hope you understand that if we lose our positions next, then we will be sorry for these brave and deceased soldiers!" So you're going to have to brace yourself."
After listening to Chuikov's words, Andrei also calmed down at the moment, and the next battle continues, I must defend Mamayev Gang!
