This is something that will happen to any army in street fighting.

But this could not stop the advance of the German army.

To be honest, the Russians in Stalingrad behaved very heroically, whether it was their regular army, the so-called workers' army, the women's army, or even the partisans and Red Guards.

The attacking Germans have repeatedly encountered resistance from civilian forces, and often the resistance is very tragic.

The Klingenberg commandos have encountered this situation many times.

During the attack, he was blocked by the enemy more than once. At the very least, he thought he had encountered the enemy's regular army, and as the exchange of fire began, he soon discovered that the enemy's firepower was not very strong, and the fortifications were not very strong. But the fighting spirit of the enemy on the other side was astonishing.

On one occasion, after the Luftwaffe's indiscriminate bombardment, the houses in front were almost completely destroyed, and Klingenberg and his men stood up with confidence, believing that there would be no more obstacles.

But only a few steps forward was the sound of gunfire, and one of the commandos was wounded on the spot.

The well-trained commandos quickly fell to the ground and returned fire, and they found that the enemy on the opposite side was not in fact dense. Judging by the sound of the gunshots, they probably only had the "heavy firepower" of a Bobosha submachine gun and a light machine gun.

The commandos decided to take it in the shortest possible time, but they soon found out that they were wrong......

The enemy threw several grenades and stopped the charge of the German commandos. Then he hid in the dilapidated buildings and continued to shoot.

Klingenberg quickly ordered his men to split into three parts and outflank them from three directions.

In his vision, the enemy would be better protected on both flanks. Outflanking would not be so easy, however, he was surprised to find that the enemy's flanks had no protection at all, and they concentrated all their fire on the front.

This is definitely not a regular army...... Klingenberg made such a judgment at the first time......

There was no error in his judgment, and here the defense was the troops of the 1st battalion of the 1st Stalingrad Workers' Army.

It was true that they only had a submachine gun and a light machine gun. To know the Dao, in the previous battles. The Soviets lost so much weapons and ammunition that the Luftwaffe blockade could not effectively deliver supplies to Stalingrad. As a result, these civilian forces are only able to receive very few weapons in such a situation.

The Germans, who had flanked them from both flanks, immediately put the workers' battalion in a passive position, under the blows of the Germans' intensive firepower. They soon suffered heavy casualties.

But the civilians didn't seem to have any intention of surrendering......

They seem to have quite a few grenades. Under the heavy blow of the German army, the workers who were carrying the grenade stood up and tried to throw the grenade out of the way, but they stood up without protection and were shot by the Germans at the first time.

But these Russians refused to give up at all, and they still stubbornly stood up again and again...... And then I was shot again and again!

The German soldiers couldn't understand why the Russians threw grenades in such a way. Don't they know that such an unprotected throwing method will only make themselves a live target?

The Russians really don't know what to do......

After suppressing the Russians with fire. Now, Klingenberg has decided to let the enemies know the proper way to use the grenades.

Under the cover of machine guns and submachine guns. A group of commandos threw grenades with great force, and then the explosion of "boom" continued to sound, and a miserable cry was heard from the Russian position.

It should be almost, Klingenberg thought......

The two commandos cautiously approached the Russians' positions, and they found that most of the enemy here were dead, and only a few seriously wounded ones were still moaning in pools of blood......

The commandos turned around and were about to beckon their companions to come up, but the Russians, who were badly wounded, pulled their grenades.

And so a new explosion sounded here again......

the Russians! Klingenberg's anger cannot be expressed in words. Two of his own so good commandos died.

They have already learned the tenacious spirit of the Soviet soldiers on the battlefield, but they never expected that these civilians would be so tenacious!

Annoyed, Klingenberg concentrated all the firepower of the commandos, and the deadly bullets rained down frantically towards the other side......

The Russians suffered heavy casualties, and in the face of German blows, they were already hardly able to fight back.

Little by little, the Klingenberg commandos cleared the Russians' positions and forced the Russians into a very small area.

Klingenberg was well aware that he was not facing the Russians, but the stubborn resistance of the other side aroused his anger, and he decided not to leave any more face.

His command is to destroy all enemies you can see in your line of sight, and no mercy will be spared!

The Russians who continued to resist were already dwindling and their firepower was getting weaker and weaker, and these Russians, who had not received even a day's formal military training, could not be the match for the elite German commandos.

In such a desperate situation, they actually launched a charge......

And this hopeless charge also made the combat mission of the Klingenberg commando team easier.

They could easily shoot the Russians and watch the corpses fall under their guns.

In just a few minutes, countless corpses fell in front of the position......

The battle is finally over......

The German commandos stood up cautiously, having learned from the previous experience. They don't dare to be careless. When they saw the dying wounded make any move, the commandos would often shoot a shuttle of bullets first.

None of the corpses were wearing military uniforms, but simply pinned a badge to their chests. Identified as the:

Stalingrad Workers' Army!

The German commandos had nothing to rejoice, although they killed several hundred enemies......

Klingenberg came to a Russian who looked like a commander and found that he was not dead, but had only been hit by a bullet in the abdomen. After disarming the Russians and making sure there was no danger, he had a member of the Russian-speaking team ask him, "What is your name and why are you here?" ”

"This is my place...... replied with difficulty, "give me a shot." I will thank you. ”

Klingenberg fulfilled his wish by giving him a shot and relieving him of his pain.

The German translator soldier asked, "Are they all crazy?" ”

"Perhaps......" Klingenberg shrugged, "but didn't you hear him?" This is his place. Although I don't think it's worth it to use civilians to fight such brutal battles, their spirit is still worthy of my admiration. ”

Klingenberg knew that such battles would happen more frequently in the future......

A similar situation was happening everywhere in Stalingrad. Large numbers of Russian civilians without any training were dropped into the battlefield. They used rudimentary weapons, mainly their lives, to stop the combined assault of enemy tanks and infantry.

And at this critical moment, the high command of the German Ernst battle cluster sent a message from Ernst. Marshal Bream's order:

As soon as it was deemed that the enemy's armament was a threat to their own lives, the German units were allowed to destroy all suspicious targets and, if necessary, to use all force worthwhile and suspiciously......

This means that now the German army is already fighting an unrestricted war at Stalingrad!

The German assault guns drove into Stalingrad, and the artillery fire began to ruthlessly destroy all the targets on the opposite side. Terrible shells rained down, bursts of explosions accompanied by countless corpses.

It was a devastating blow!

The Russians had been waiting for the Germans to attack. But instead of German infantry, they were greeted by waves of artillery fire.

The position they managed to organize. It was completely shattered under such frantic artillery fire. The so-called troops they had assembled were killed and wounded under such frenzied artillery fire.

War is not something that can be won by willpower alone.

But the Russians are clearly too late to understand this.

The civilian forces were in such a miserable situation, and the Soviet troops on track were not having a good time. Those ubiquitous German assault squads kept appearing like ghosts.

They were often accompanied by a large number of German tanks......

The Soviets organized fortifications on the broken walls and tiles, and held back every place destroyed by German artillery fire, stubbornly blocking the enemy's advance.

But soon, they were hit even harder by the Germans!

Swarms of shells rained down on the positions, and these terrible steels were enough to destroy again and again the fortifications that the Russians had worked so hard to build.

However, even in such a situation, the Germans did not attack lightly. They continued to inflict massive casualties on Soviet troops with mortars and flamethrowers.

Often, when the Germans finally decided to attack, the German soldiers who rushed into the position found that there were no more people alive......

This is the sad and tragic battlefield......

Soviet losses were increasing by the minute, and the German advance was not so smooth sailing because of the stubborn resistance of the Russians.

At every battlefield they advanced, they were always held back by the stubborn Russians, and often had to expend great effort to occupy a position.

The tank has done its best to provide the most powerful support to the commandos. The German engineers were also working hard to pave the way for the assault attacks again and again.

The Air Force is even more so, they have not been rested at all since the outbreak of the Battle of Stalingrad.

Without the tremendous efforts of these troops. The German attack will face even more difficulties......

Of course, this was also the greatest advantage of the German army, which was able to bring together all the participating units. Make the most of their advantages on the battlefield.

Probably this is the most important factor in the victory of the Ernst battle group or the entire German combat unit......

During the three-day attack, the German advance was not very fast. They strictly followed the orders of Field Marshal Ernst, with as few casualties as possible, and did not call for a quick breakthrough.

If it takes heavy casualties to capture Stalingrad, then this is something that Wang Weiyi would never want to see.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the German army, more than 80% of Stalingrad was destroyed......

On the night of April 17. The assault detachment under the command of Major Mylistre raided one of the Soviet commands, killing a colonel and a large number of Soviet troops.

And unexpectedly, they also seized a batch of documents. In one of the documents, they found a hidden ammunition warehouse of the Soviet army.

This is a pretty good bonus, and if this ammunition depot can be eliminated, it will make Stalingrad, which is already facing serious supply difficulties, even worse.

Major Mylistre didn't even hesitate too much. He decided to lead his assault team to attack this ammunition warehouse as soon as possible......

On the battlefield. Field Marshal Ernst allowed the commanders of the commandos to make their own decisions according to the actual needs of the battlefield, without having to report everything to their superiors.

Judging from intelligence, there was a battalion of Soviet troops defending there, and the defensive terrain was very good, which was a bombing dead end.

In such a situation, Major Myristel called for tank support......

The powerful tank power has always been the most reliable ...... for the German army

In order to ensure the success of the raid, these German commandos all changed into Soviet uniforms and were under the cover of night. Such a disguise can easily confuse one's enemies.

And the two tanks that rushed to reinforcements were also camouflaged. Although it is easy to see which camp these tanks belong to if you look closely, as things stand, none of these things are worth thinking too much about.

Myrist led some Russian-speaking soldiers at the front of the line, and on the way, they even encountered a lot of Russian civilians.

These Russian civilians did not have the ability to distinguish whether these "Soviet troops" were their own people or enemies, and some even greeted the German commandos and enthusiastically helped them show them the way.

It was only when the tanks passed in front of them that the Russian civilians felt a little strange, why did they look fundamentally different from the Soviet tanks they had seen before?

Such a blatant action was probably only the audacity of these SS commandos......

When he arrived at the Soviet ammunition warehouse, Mylistre found that it was heavily guarded, but he swaggered and sent a soldier who could speak fluent Russian to greet them: "Is it the Malenkov battalion?" ”

"Yes, who are you?"

"We are ordered to come to your aid!"

"Stop!" The Soviet soldiers stopped the Germans from advancing: "We have been ordered to defend this place and not allow anyone to approach until your identity is confirmed!" ”

"Hey, listen, we're our own people......"

The German soldiers grinned and walked towards the opposite side.

"Stop!" A Soviet second lieutenant ordered the searchlight to go on, blocking the Germans' advance, and his eyes fell on the German soldier, and he was suspicious to find that the uniform was full of single holes.

"Prepare to shoot." The second lieutenant whispered, then looked behind the group of "reinforcements" that suddenly appeared, and found two tanks hidden in the darkness.

"Searchlight, shine over there!" The second lieutenant, with the help of a searchlight, quickly saw the tank clearly. Then he lowered his voice: "It's the Germans, shoot!" ”

Shots rang out...... The German commando, who tried to get by, fell to the ground in one fell swoop......

"We're exposed, attack!" Mylistre gave his own orders loudly.

The tanks were the first to fire, and the shells collapsed the enemy's machine-gun positions, and then the commandos opened fire with all their weapons.

In an instant, bullets rained down here.

The Soviet troops defending here, despite their light and heavy machine guns, looked powerless against the German tanks.

The shells fired from those tanks continued to destroy the positions that the Russians had worked so hard to operate here, and in the firelight, the helpless faces of the Russians could be seen.

The only thing the Soviets arrived to wonder was how the enemy had discovered this hidden warehouse and how they had made it all the way here.

You must know that there is a large number of armed forces in front of the defense......

In order to ensure that the ammunition could reach the front line directly, this secret ammunition warehouse was set up relatively close to the front line, but even so, a number of workers' troops were set up in front of the ammunition warehouse to assist in the defense.

But now, the Germans are still appearing!

Under the powerful attack of German tanks and commandos, the Soviet army did not hold out for long before it collapsed.

When the fighting here ended, the entire ammunition warehouse completely fell into the hands of the Germans.

However, it is clear that Mylistre was not particularly interested in these munitions, and they gave the order to blow them all up.

Amid the "boom" explosion, Masriter smiled with satisfaction: "Keep going!" ”

Keep moving – the war is not over.

Even, the war has just entered its most brutal stage! (To be continued......)
