Chapter 175: The Situation Is Difficult
This counterattack finally had to stop in front of the railway station square due to the ferocious fire of German tanks and artillery, but from early morning to daytime the Soviet troops successfully recovered part of their positions, and the German layout had to be adjusted.
The special forces created by exhausting the knowledge of his previous life did not disappoint him, the signal flag not only has perfect training and better weapons and equipment, so that the combat effectiveness has been doubled, but now the pressure is still very great, although the supply has not been interrupted, but the drastic consumption is a huge consumption for both armies, and Brezhnev, who was also nervous all night, is now relieved, the central railway station has finally stabilized the situation, although the casualties are not small, but the responsibility for losing the position is great, Now the German army has reached 60% of the control area in the urban area, and the Soviet army is now compressed very uncomfortable, but there is no way out of the war, and I really don't know when this bloody battle will be fought.

Thinking of this, Brezhnev said to Andrei: "Andrei has suffered a lot of casualties now, although some time ago the superiors added a new regiment to us, but this battle was almost taken in, do you see if you let the first regiment and the fourth regiment change their guards, it seems that the second regiment and the fifth regiment have replenished almost a thousand people by themselves!" ”
And Andrei said: "Ilyich should indeed be replaced, but not at the same time, I think let's let the first regiment withdraw first, and as for the fifth regiment, it must be topped at the central railway station first." ”
After discussing various preparations with Major Pravio, Captain Akhromeyev, who was left by Andrei as deputy chief of staff with experience in this area, also sorted out all the preparations in detail, in fact, he still wanted to go to the front-line combat unit very much, but Andrei was afraid that the future marshal would be in danger, so he was left as deputy chief of staff in the name of his good experience in troop formation, and Akhromeyev was a little unhappy at first, but Brezhnev started his ideological work, and Brezhnev said earnestly: " Comrade Akhromeyev, I know you want to go to the front-line troops, but the work of the division headquarters is very important, you must know that now the entire Siberian Volunteer Division has to be coordinated by the division headquarters, and the chief of staff, Comrade Pravio, has been working under a high load, since you have the ability to do this, you should help him share the pressure, you must know that the staff work is also a huge improvement, and many senior commanders are from staff officers, this is the trust and cultivation of the division commander in you, I hope you can consider it carefully. ”
I have to say that Brezhnev's words convinced Akhromeyev, you must know that the current Siberian Volunteer Division is a heroic unit, and there is a great opportunity to stay in the division headquarters in the future, so he decided to accept Andrei's appointment.
Watching Brezhnev make a move, Andrei was also relaxed, it would be good to have a political commissar, and now he would save himself his own business.
Then Andrei remembered the reconnaissance group sent to the rear of the German army, I really don't know what happened to them?
Several other groups of the Vympel made important discoveries during reconnaissance and came to the north of Mamayev Heights.
One of the groups used a camouflaged wooden boat, down the Volga River, and then went ashore, according to intelligence, the Germans had three divisions in this vicinity, the team members cautiously went ashore, and then began to operate, they first came to the outside of a village, the sniper began to observe, and said: "Team leader, this village is full of Germans, the number is estimated to be a battalion, there are not only horse rejections on the periphery, but also trenches are heavily guarded!"
Rejection of horses and trenches, this village is far away from Mamayev Hill and some time ago, Unit A and the reconnaissance battalion did not come to attack, this village is too tightly guarded, abnormal must be demonic, Andrei's training textbook emphasizes this point, you must know that if it is an ordinary German army, unless it is guarding something important, there is no need to be so vigilant, so the team leader decided to approach the reconnaissance village, and the soldiers put on camouflage uniforms, slowly crawling forward, in the flat ground can also play hidden depending on the technology, The team leader understood that he might need to scratch his tongue next, but if he did, the Germans would be alert, so he just hoped that he could roughly judge the situation in the village by observing.
And when everyone was waiting, it actually rained, and the team members continued to lurk in the muddy water, fortunately, the rain could not sneak into the body, but the surrounding soil was already soaked, and it was still taking away the surrounding temperature. But everyone still watched the neighborhood seriously, and instead of using an easily exposed water bottle, they used a hump water bag, yes, due to the material, some composite materials in later generations could not be used, but leather and other materials were used instead, and on the battlefield, a superfluous action could often bring a deadly threat. Traditional water bottles and water bladders usually have only one opening, and soldiers have to do several actions when drinking: take the water bottle from their waist or backpack; Unscrew the lid of the kettle or the plug of the water bladder; Bring the kettle to your mouth; Raise your neck and drink water into your mouth; Tighten the lid of the kettle; Reattach the water bottle to the harness or put it in your backpack.
These actions, almost without exception, require the user to raise their arms, move their body weight, and raise their head - and these actions on the battlefield mean exposing the target, especially the act of raising the head provides an excellent opportunity for the enemy sniper to shoot, greatly increasing the user's danger.
With this kind of water bag, you only need one action when drinking water: hold the hose that is already dangling near the mouth in your mouth, bite the switch at the front of the hose hard, and suck it again, and the water in the water bag can be sucked into your mouth. There is no need to do anything after drinking, just spit out the hose, and the switch on the front will automatically turn off when the pressure leaves the lips, ensuring that the water in the water bag is not lost in vain.
However, the production of the hump water bag is very troublesome, so at present, except for the A unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the signal flag, the other troops are not equipped, which is also a black technology that transcends time and space. As for eating, the American aid of pravascuits and chocolate is an excellent food, high in calories, and easy to carry, after entering the end of 42, the industrial productivity of the United States has been fully released, and now the production of pralava has come up, all kinds of military rations and other food are now beginning to be continuously supplied to the Soviet Union and other war zones, canned food can not be eaten when lurking, and the unique self-heating canned food of the Internal Affairs Army is still in the backpack, However, the rain still brought some trouble, and the lenses of the telescope were affected, and although there were protective measures, rain still entered the mirror surface.
At this time, the sniper had just cleaned his mirror and then protected the sniper scope, he looked into the village and found such a scene, a German officer in an overcoat walked out, and the person next to him immediately gave him an umbrella, although the rank was not visible due to the obscuration of the coat and umbrella, but through the decoration of the car, the sniper understood that this was a German general, so he immediately said: "Team leader, this is a big fish, the German general, this should be the German division headquarters, no wonder the guard is so tight!" ”
