Chapter 373: Sacrifice and Dedication
The 1st Guards Panzer Division was a division of the 3rd Brigade and 6th Regiment, with a total of 18,000 people, and some of them were killed at the airport, and now there are more than 16,700 people in Levsky's hands.
But if this person wants to defend the huge city of Chichnaeu, there is definitely no way to defend it everywhere, what can Levsky do? Levsky's method was very simple and practical, using countless reinforced concrete buildings in the city to build countless temporary fortresses, so as to form countless point defense formations in the huge city of Chisinau.

The disadvantage of Levsky's deployment of troops in this way is also very obvious, that is, his forces are too scattered, and it is difficult for him to concentrate his forces to annihilate the German troops entering the city, that is to say, Levsky initially arranged the tactics of delay and attrition.
In fact, this kind of tactical arrangement is the best tactical arrangement that Levsky has come up with based on experience and intuition and judging the entire current battle situation.
Levsky also did not have much information about the German army, because at this time the Soviet command system was in disarray, and Levsky could not get any useful information from his superiors.
However, Levsky, based on the experience of an old commander, believed that the fact that the Germans could attack to Chisinau in such a short time showed that the German attacking forces must be very strong, so strong that they could not resist as a mere Guards division.
Since the German invasion force was very strong, Nalevsky only did his best to drag the German army in the city of Chichnaeu, so as to give the troops behind him more time to prepare for battle and react.
Levsky did this in only a few ways - greatness, dedication, sacrifice, because once Levsky used the point to disperse the defense, he and his guards division had no chance of escaping from Chisinau.
Of course, if Chisinau could have left his troops behind and fled alone, it would have been a different matter, and if then, Stalin would have executed him, and Stalin's brutality, ruthlessness, ruthlessness, and iron hand also forced Levsky to fight to the death.
All right! The advantage of Stalin's brutality and ruthlessness was manifested at this time, and every Soviet officer and soldier, under Stalin's brutality and ruthlessness, must fight to the death, otherwise he will be shot.
Was Stalin's brutality and ruthlessness magnificent, or was he a big mistake? In fact, these two views are very one-sided, and it can only be said that the times created the character of Stalin and his brutal and ruthless character.
Stalin's brutal and ruthless character has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is to force all the Soviet troops to fight to the death, and the disadvantage is that once these Soviet troops are captured, then under Stalin's policy of not recognizing the prisoners, the captured Soviet troops are a group of Soviets who hate Stalin the most.
In this way, Rommel's opportunity was not sent by Stalin himself, Rommel always wanted to form a Soviet puppet army, and those Soviet prisoners who hated Stalin were the best soldiers.
(It's a pity that Hitler didn't seize such an opportunity in history!) More than 5 million Soviet troops were locked up in concentration camps, which was a whole 5 million native Soviet troops who hated the Stalin regime!
They were familiar with the Soviet terrain, they knew everything about the Soviets, and most importantly, they adapted to the icy climate of the Soviet Union.
So, the mustache died unjustly! Hitler really did a wrong thing about this, even if you are a fan of Hitler's brains, you must recognize this. ļ¼
But this kind of relying on the buildings in the city to establish a point defense formation also has a great advantage, that is, the German army can only attack one stronghold at a time, and clear one stronghold at a time.
The Germans wanted to annihilate the entire elite Soviet Guards Division, which could not be achieved in a short period of time, and Levsky's delaying tactical goal was achieved, and he used his life and the entire Guards Division to buy as much time as possible for the rear, as for whether the Soviet troops behind could seize the time created by Levsky, it was not Levsky's business.
Street fighting has always been the most brutal and the most casualty, both sides must pay a heavy price for both sides of the victor and the loser, and Levsky only hopes that his perseverance and sacrifice will give the Soviet Union more time to prepare for war.
Levsky's wish is good, but everything depends on the strength of both sides, and whoever loses will win a battle will know, and the battlefield is the best way to test the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

"Boom...... Buzz ......"
Claes's three-dimensional armored assault group rushed towards a main street in Chisinau, and Claes did not meet any resistance outside the city, Claes estimated that the Soviet commander had shrunk his forces into the city, and it seemed that the Soviet commander was not a fool.
Forty Leopard tanks led the way, followed by more than eighty No. 4 tanks, behind which were an equal number of armored vehicles, followed by a regiment of German infantry, and thirty-six FA223 helicopters in the sky.
The momentum of the entire German 13th Panzer Assault Group was quite shocking, and the ground was also violently shaken under the crushing of various vehicles.
"Report to the regimental commander, the 11th Panzer Division assault group has sent a report that they have reached the east of Chisinau and are preparing to attack Chisinau from the east."
There were more than 400,000 German troops in Guderian's northern sector, more than 300,000 Axis servant troops, and there were 18 groups of armored assault groups like Claes, and now there were finally other armored assault groups rushing to Chichnau.
Someone wants to take credit? Claes immediately contacted their division commander and received the following reply:
"You must not lag behind, give Lao Tzu a full full ride directly to the city, whoever takes the Chisinau City Government Building first, Lao Tzu will give him the first credit."
The rest of the troops also have the same idea as Claes and their division commanders, the first credit must be their own, more than 400,000 German troops are charging frantically at Chisinau, no one wants to be left behind, the entire northern section of more than 1,200 tanks and the same number of armored vehicles, plus countless trucks, the entire land around Chisinau, under this torrent of steel trembling dust raised up the sky.
400,000 to 16,000 people, Germany still has countless tanks and armored vehicles to help, no matter how correct Levsky's tactics are, but in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are scum, all sacrifices and dedication will disappear, and German tanks and the sea of people will directly bury the entire Chichnawe.
Claes saw that the form was not right, and that the credit he had received might be robbed by other troops, so he hurriedly took out the city plan of Chisinau and found the Chisinau city government building.
Suddenly, Claes felt the Leopard tank he was riding in tremble.
"Boom, boom...... Boom...... Click...... Click......"
Countless bullets and shells came out of the windows on both sides of the street, but at this time the Soviet anti-tank weapons were too small in caliber to deal with a forty-five-ton Leopard tank, which could tear everything apart.
