The war that took place in Samillos could no longer be described in any other word than "tragic".

Malovsky, like other senior Soviet commanders, didn't care how many casualties there were.

The 17th Panzer Division had been moved to the front, and those T34s and KV-1s were frantically storming the German positions again and again. This made the German defense somewhat passive.

But then, the Germans began to use a large number of anti-tank weapons, which struggled to block the Russian attack.

A strange phenomenon that Malovsky did not find out - where were the tanks of the Germans?

The Germans seem to have lost their tank forces after capturing Elklin...... But Malowski didn't think much of it at all.

For a full-day offensive on the 10th, Malowski used all the forces at his disposal: the 17th Panzer Division, the 89th Motorized Brigade, the 190th Infantry Division......

Finally, from 10 p.m., Malowski saw the hope of victory: the Germans began to retreat from part of their positions!

Malovsky, overjoyed, gave the strictest order to the Soviet officers and men at the front: the Germans were about to be defeated, and for the victory of the Great Soviets - attack!

The Russians, seeing the hope of victory, were almost mad, and they began to storm in a non-stop frenzy, and at 5 p.m. the Germans completely abandoned Samillos.

Won? Ah, yes, victory!

When he saw the retreat of the Germans on all fronts, it took a long time for Malovsky to react. He couldn't wait to send a telegram directly to Moscow:

I have stood on the land of Samillos!

"Congratulations. Comrade Malovsky, Moscow is watching you, the whole Soviet is watching you! "Soon. Moscow replied to this enthusiastic telegram.

Malovsky is building a strong confidence. With the capture of Samillos, Elkling is already in sight! That idiot Tasotsky, it's time to know what a really good commander is. A really good commander is someone like himself.

It took the Soviets a night to digest the fruits of victory, and the German retreat should have been orderly, but it was also in keeping with German tradition.

And at this time Elklin. Ludwig made a brief report to Field Marshal Ernst: "Marshal, we have abandoned Samilos. ”

"Very well, General Ludwig. I think the Russians will be in Elkelin tomorrow at noon, are you ready? Wang Weiyi's majestic gaze swept over the German generals one by one.

"Yes, Marshal. We're ready. ”

Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Then." Let's get started! ”

Elkling was ready - the Germans were ready! Soon, on the battlefield of Elklin, a new hell will be formed......

At noon on February 11, the 89th Motorized Brigade of the Soviet Army appeared in Elklin, and at 12:30, the Soviet Air Force began to bomb Elklin.

This once again proved the judgment of the Russians: the Germans did not have supplies in place. Supply difficulties continue to plague them!

At 13:15, Russian artillery joined the bombardment of Elklin. The German artillery also returned fire-for-tat. Shells from both sides swept across the sky, mixed with sharp whistling and falling on each other's positions.

At 13:30, the 190th, 191st, and 192nd Infantry Divisions of the Soviet Army arrived on the battlefield one after another, and the offensive and defensive battle of Elkling had broken out!

At 14:00, Malovsky's command arrived at the front, which meant that the Soviet offensive system had been built.

Malovsky, who arrived at the front line, could not wait to give the order for a general attack, and when the order for this attack was given, the overwhelming Russians let out a tsunami-like cry.

The sky was once again obscured by gunsmoke, and the earth was once again shaken by shells......

The victory in the battle of Samilos not only boosted the confidence of Malowsky, but also the confidence of all Soviet soldiers.

With fanatical faith, these Russians launched a wave of attacks on Elklin, one wave after another, that would not stop at all.

However, the overall strength of Elklin's defense, and the rationalization of the position, completely exceeded the imagination of the Soviet commander. It seems that the Germans would not tolerate any slip-ups in the case of Elklin.

The strong defense, instead of arousing Malowski's vigilance, seemed to make him smell blood like a hungry wolf.

Victory - as long as you can capture Elklin, you will definitely enter the ranks of famous generals!

Obviously, however, this will not be easy......

As in the initial attack at Samilos, the Russians were met with strong resistance, and the death rate was horribly high.

The corpses were piled up on top of each other, blood washing the ground. In the face of the dense and powerful fire of the Germans, the Russians died almost in pieces.

But what is striking is that the sound of "Ula" has not stopped from the beginning of the offensive......

These brainwashed Russians simply see death as relief. They were not afraid of the German bullets, they were not afraid of the German shells, they just kept their heads down, shouted slogans, and launched a charge one after another......

On the battlefield, there was even a terrible situation in which an entire company of Soviet troops, from the company commander to ordinary soldiers, was killed.

This happened in the 190 Infantry Division, and the company commander was called Tamichov, an unusually determined Bolshevik.

The 190 Infantry Division was the first to enter the assault at Samilyos, and they suffered quite heavy losses, and the face commanded by Tamitchiv, who was actually a guard company of the division headquarters, did not directly participate in the attack.

The sacrifice of the 190 Infantry Division did not earn respect, but instead allowed their division commander Tasotsky to be dismissed, which made the officers and men of the guard company feel that they had suffered a great humiliation.

Tamitchiv offered to go to the front. This demand was also supported by the officers and men of the whole company, and the shame must be washed away with blood.

In the Elkelling attack, the guard company showed great bravery. Braving enemy fire, they fearlessly launched a suicidal charge.

A cannonball landed in the midst of them, and in an instant, dozens of people were swept into the sky...... However, the rest of the companions did not seem to see half of it at all, and they stepped on the corpse and continued to shout fanatical slogans and launch a fanatical charge.

A volley of bullets hit, and more than a dozen people fell...... The guard company continued to charge...... Their efforts did not pay off as they wanted...... The number of people is getting smaller......

"For the Soviets - forward!" This is from the beginning. Tamitchiv never stopped.

Countless comrades-in-arms fell in front of him, but Tamichiv didn't seem to see them at all. Death is the best manifestation of faithfulness to faith. Soon, he will also become one of the corpses.

After charging for a long distance, regardless of life and death, Tamichiv suddenly found that there were only eight people left around him. His heart finally tightened.

A company. A complete face. Now there are only eight people left!

"For the Soviets - forward!" However, Tamichiv did not hesitate and continued to make such a cry for the last time in his life.

Then, the machine-gun bullets completely submerged into his body......

Tamichiv fell, and his companions fell almost simultaneously with him. The last few soldiers of the guard company all died here.

"They're crazy." Ludwig, who was witnessing this, muttered.

"They're crazy." Wang Weiyi repeated the words of his subordinates: "They are really crazy...... This is not a normal heroic attack, it is completely suicide there. There is no complete offensive formation, only a fanaticism for the faith. They didn't even do much training......"

Crime. This is a crime there.

The 191st and 192nd infantry divisions, most of which were recruits who had just enlisted in the army. When they join the troops. Their commanders did not indoctrinate them with military theories, but with a thorough brainwash of them, telling them that dying for the Soviets was the greatest thing.

When they joined the troops, their commanders did not give them any military training, but constantly exercised control over their souls, making them understand that only dying for the sake of the Soviets, for Comrade Stalin, was the most valuable thing in the whole world.

So, these people who appeared on the battlefield had the courage and dared to sacrifice, but from a purely military point of view, their performance was completely clumsy.

Crime, it's a crime in the truest sense of the word!

That kind of dense charge is basically taking themselves as the enemy's target, and in the face of dense bullets, they don't know how to dodge the road at all.

The cry of "Ula" - this is their highest spiritual support!

The German soldiers were able to happily shoot the dense enemy on the opposite side, even though they would never forget this scene......

Heavy machine gunners' arms were swollen, and the bullets were bouncing so much that they couldn't calculate how many Russians their machine guns had shot. The grenadiers, throwing empty boxes of grenades, the rising explosions, wrapped in human lives.

In a sense, snipers have completely lost their existence, because they can easily take out enemies one by one without aiming at all.

Here, everyone has become sharpshooters......

The only thing that could pose some threat to the German positions was probably the Soviet tanks. But the Germans, equipped with powerful anti-tank equipment, were always able to easily take out a few Russian tanks.

The corpses were piled up into mountains, and the blood was pooled into small rivers...... The screams were like the music of the battlefield......

The exact number of casualties has not been counted at all, and Malowski does not see any need for this. As long as you can achieve victory, you can add a lot of credit to your own book, even if you sacrifice everyone.

At 16:00, the commander-in-chief of the 3rd Soviet Army Corps, Linderov, appeared at the front.

The Soviet general, when he heard that his troops had suffered such heavy losses. Suddenly became a little unhappy. Of course, fighting a war will kill people, but it is not like this, filling one life after another into this bottomless pit.

However, Malowski stubbornly believed. Victory was not far away, and with a little more effort, Elklin was bound to return to the hands of the Soviets.

Despite being Malowski's superior, Linderov lacked the power to supervise his subordinates, who had support from Moscow.

Even Marshal Vasilevsky was here, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop Malovsky. Because just an hour ago. Comrade Stalin personally gave orders to Marshal Vasilevsky and General Linderov to support General Malovsky to achieve greater victories for the great Soviets!

The order of Comrade Stalin is something that no one dares to disobey!

"You can do everything you want to do." Linderov was a little helpless, but he added: "Comrade Malovsky." Have you ever thought about the consequences of failure? ”

Malovsky couldn't help but shudder......

What are the consequences of failure?

Now Comrade Stalin, who has unlimited trust in himself, but if he cannot meet his requirements, the war is lost. Then something very terrible is going to happen.

"No, it won't. No, it won't. Malovsky tried to keep himself calm: "Comrade commander, please watch my performance." ”

Lindeloff smiled bitterly and said no more.

Originally, there was a problem with this arrangement, as the commander of the Third Army, he was a lieutenant general, and his subordinate Malovsky was also a lieutenant general.

The ranks were exactly the same, and Malovsky was nothing more than his own nominal subordinate......

Let him go. Let him go. If it fails, there will naturally be Malowski to take the blame. On the contrary, he was not guilty, because he firmly carried out the orders of Comrade Stalin......

After the disagreement disappeared, Malovsky recklessly adjusted his forces to relaunch the most powerful attack!

Now, it is not so much about how much he can add to his own exploits, but most importantly, Linderov's words reminded him that defeat would completely anger Comrade Stalin...... The supreme leader of the Soviet Union can easily give you enormous power, but he can also throw you into the abyss from which you will never recover......

Offense - offense - offense again! With non-stop attacks, this terrible ending will be completely buried!

When a commander makes such a determination, it will be very scary. That would be more blood, more deaths......

Wang Weiyi very clearly noticed the changes in the Soviet offensive, and he knew that the commanders of the Soviet army were starting to go berserk, and this was exactly what he needed.

"Marshal, the Alco Cluster and the Imperial Division will pass through Maslow. The Großdeutsche Regiment, the Viking Division, the Hohenstaufen Division, the Prince Eugen Mountain Division, and the Nordland Battle Group also arrived at the designated battlefield. ”

General Paul Hauser's report made the corners of Wang Weiyi's mouth smile: "Tell them that once Val's troops attack in the rear of the Russians, all the troops will be engaged in encirclement and annihilation operations!" ”

"Yes, Marshal." Paul Hauser said in a proper manner: "Congratulations on your upcoming victory again. ”

"Our victory ......," Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Germany's victory." ”

Yes, this is another imminent German victory, and the siege of Elkelin will be the beginning of an incomparably good German battle at Stalingrad.

Even, in a sense, this would lay the foundation for Germany's victory in the Battle of Stalingrad......

On the frontal battlefield, although the Soviets paid a huge price, they did not achieve the results they wanted, and the German defense was like an impregnable wall, blocking every route of the Soviet army's advance.

And until this time, Lindeloff and Malowski did not feel the great crisis......

This will soon become a living hell.

In Elkling, a baron from hell is watching coldly what is happening on the battlefield. On his young and resolute face, there is a strong determination for victory.

The gates of hell are slowly opening.

And when the gate is fully opened, every Russian will always remember the name of this man, and he will always remember the terrible things that happened here.

He's from hell!

He will preside over a horrific human slaughter......

．．．．．．

February 12, 1943.

The battlefield was enveloped in the strong smell of blood, and corpses could be seen everywhere as far as the eye could see. In yesterday's war, the losses of the Soviet troops were completely miserable.

When the sun slowly rose, the Russians did not know that something terrible was approaching them.

These people, who had survived yesterday's brutal war, were ready to face death after a hurried breakfast, without even having time to check their weapons.

Then a new offensive began.

There was no difference from yesterday, from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., the Soviets made eight charges in a company, and the sound of "Ula" was still constantly sounding, and there were still heavy casualties.

Numb, the Russians are completely numb...... They don't care if they're hurt, they don't care if they're alive, anyway, as long as they're not dead, the next attack will still be their turn.

At 11 o'clock, a thunderbolt from the blue reached the ears of Lindeloff and Malowski:

A large number of German troops appeared behind the Third Army!

In an instant, the two Russian generals were completely stunned! Impossible, this impossible, where did the Germans come out of the troops?

The Great Siege has begun! (To be continued......)
