A Soviet soldier leans against a wall and reloads his rifle next to the building of the Stalingrad tank factory, which has long been destroyed by shells, while a group of Soviet tank production technicians, who were originally just workers, are resupplying shells to a T-34 tank that they have barely assembled.

The director of the workshop, who originally organized production, has now become a tank commander who may die at any time, and the combat mission of this T-34 tank is to help the Soviet soldiers here hold the defensive positions near the plant.

Just now they repelled a German attack, and now the tired two sides are **** their respective wounds, it is estimated that it will only take a few hours of rest, and the German and Soviet troops will fight again here, and then cover the short distance between the positions of the two sides with corpses.

The defensive positions of the two sides were very close, and the closest place was even a few tens of meters. The slightest hint of wind and grass can lead to a large-scale shootout that can then spread throughout the region. All nearby forces on both sides will then join the fight, and the losing side will give up the territory under its feet and find the next suitable place to fight.

As early as 25 days earlier, the Germans had captured the center of Stalingrad under the cover of a few tanks, and then Küchler's offensive was focused on the heavy industrial areas north of the city, and the Germans soon began to attack these factories, while the Soviets were ordered to desperately hold their positions.

On April 29, the Germans and Soviets began to fight for a defensive position in the city codenamed "Mamayev". First of all, the Germans seized this high ground under the cover of a salvo of "building demolitionists", and then the Soviets recaptured it with heavy forces on the same day.

Then, on the next day, April 30, the Germans recaptured the Mamayev Heights, but four hours later they were recaptured by the Soviet Red Army. Furious at the news, Quchlerl ordered the main force of the German army to launch a fierce assault - and the fighting became more intense, and the two armies continued to occupy the high ground until it was beaten into a mountain of corpses, and the Germans barely gained a foothold on May 7.

The northern industrial region of Stalingrad was built in a hill, and the buildings were poured in reinforced concrete or made of stone. This unique local environment, combined with the materials used in the buildings and the construction habits (the walls of Soviet buildings are generally thick, which is characteristic of Soviet architecture), make it quite resistant to vandalism.

So even with the mobilization of Frederick rocket artillery, 240 mm or even 270 mm heavy artillery, plus the cover of dozens of assault guns and anti-aircraft self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the German advance was still difficult. The speed at which the German army advanced every hour was measured not in kilometers, but in meters.

A Ukrainian division commander of the German Army Group N said lamentatively in his battle report to Quchelel: "The Soviets are simply crazy, they are fighting us frantically for every house, workshop, water tower, railway embankment, sometimes the battle will last all day, we have run out of ammunition, and there are corpses of Soviets everywhere. ”

Another German officer complained to his Panzer colleagues about his misery in the city of Stalingrad: "The Soviets even attacked for a wall, and bullets rained down around the bunkers where we were hiding...... We fought back with our weapons in hand, and finally drove them back to where they had started. Then we attacked, and they did what we did and beat us back. ”

The commanders of the forces on both sides were under tremendous pressure. The German commander, Quchler, developed a habit of walking around his office with his rifle in his hand several times, only to be stopped by his men, and of course Rokossovsky's life was even more difficult, as he spent long periods of time without rest in the basement headquarters without daylight, and eventually suffered from intermittent syncope due to malnutrition and emaciation.

There have been as many as 20 repeated battles for ownership of the Chubu railway station, and at least thousands of people have died in the vicinity of this station. So a few days ago, the platform there had been stained red with blood, and human blood had seeped into the sleepers of the railway, and finally one by one it turned dark red, which looked extremely scary.

In a huge grain warehouse near a railway station, which had been emptied, the soldiers of the two armies fought a very strange battle, the two troops advanced through a wall, and then almost at the same time heard each other's footsteps, so the soldiers began to fire heavily through the wall in an attempt to kill each other, as a result, the two Soviet-German armies also suffered heavy casualties, and at the same time gave the order to retreat.

In another part of the city, a 70-man Soviet detachment under the command of Colonel Yankee Zaikov occupied an apartment building in the center of the city and put up stubborn resistance. The soldiers planted a large number of mines near the building and installed machine guns in the windows. They successfully repelled three German attacks - the fourth time the Germans brought in two "building demolivers", and after a volley, the heroic Soviet colonel and the remaining 30 soldiers were destroyed along with the tenacious building, and the ruins of this building were called the Yankee Building by the Soviet defenders to commemorate the warriors who died here.

Even though the Germans sent several DO-217s to cover the city, the Soviet defenses in the city still used the ruins to fight, despite the heavy bombardment of the city by various artillery pieces. With more than 70% of the city's buildings destroyed, and most of the streets and squares covered with piles of rubble and abandoned buildings several meters high, Soviet snipers were very successful in using the ruins as shelter and fought an astonishing victory.

One of the most successful snipers, Gikan Lebour, killed 124 Ukrainian and German soldiers in the ruins, and he was a haunting nightmare for many German front-line soldiers until he was besieged by German snipers. Another Soviet sniper set the second-place record of 109 kills, and what is even more incredible is that this person eventually died of illness at the front line, not in battle.

Just as the Soviet soldiers were preparing to meet them for battle once again, Stalin's speech in Moscow once again reverberated over the Soviet-controlled zone in Stalingrad through loudspeakers: "All comrades who fought hard in Stalingrad! Persist in fighting despite difficulties! Never let this great city fall into the hands of the German invaders! Every house ...... Hiss...... As long as there are Soviet soldiers, even if there is only one person...... Hiss...... It must also become an impenetrable fortress for the enemy. ”

The Maxim machine gun next to him was already roaring, and no one was paying attention to the meaning of the sound from the distant horn. The German offensive had begun, and another battle that required many, many deaths began, and it was a bloody hell where God would not redeem it.

"Ahead! A German assault gun! Armor-piercing shell loading!" The Soviet T-34 tank, half buried under the rubble and with only one turret exposed, slowly adjusted the position of the turret and aimed its 76 mm gun at its target.

"Boom!" the tank fired a fatal shot, but the shell grazed the side of the German tank and hit a low wall behind the Leopard assault gun.

It didn't take long for the hapless T-34 tank to be assembled, and the worst thing about this tank, in addition to not being painted, was that it had not yet installed an out-of-stock scope. So the aiming of this Soviet tank can only rely on feeling, and whether it can hit the opponent can only depend on faith.

It was clear that the tank's faith was not strong enough, so the sneak shell did not hit the target it was supposed to hit - the German assault gun on the opposite side. So the German assault gun braked sharply and stopped, and began to aim its guns at the T-34 tank not far away.

"Hurry, hurry!" In their scrambling, these Soviet workers, who had never been tested in battle, were clearly no match for the battle-hardened German assault gun crew. Their second shell took too long to reload, long enough to give the Germans a chance to fire first.

"Boom!" the German crew quickly fired their first shell, and the Leopard assault gun's long-barreled 75mm cannon easily pierced the castrated version of the T-34 tank, and the piercing projectiles scurried around the inside of the tank, knocking all the Soviets inside into a blur of flesh and blood.

Because there was not much fuel, the T-34 tank did not explode in the end, but only stopped all movement as if it had lost its soul. Under the cover of the Leopard assault guns, the German grenadiers began to violently attack the positions of the Soviet troops, and the Soviet troops, who were still reloading their rifles just now, were quickly hit by the machine guns of the German covering the attack, and lay down next to the tank that had been killed.

A German grenadier leaned against the dusty rubble, then took a deep breath and threw the grenade he was holding into the trenches of the Soviet defenders.

This was the first time that the Germans had encountered such a situation since the siege of Stalingrad, and just when everyone was puzzled, a German platoon commander leaned against the edge of the bunker and saw a wide river in the distance through the gap in the half-collapsed wall of the factory.

He clutched the hole in his heart, spitting blood and smiling and shouting the last words: "Volga!"

Yesterday I owe more.,I'm very sorry.,In the last few days, Long Ling will find time to make it up to you.,Sorry to everyone again.,I'm sorry!
