"Yes, Comrade Stalin. I can hear the artillery fire outside. The German forces attacked very aggressively. They seemed to be in a hurry." Rokosovsky said on the phone. The Germans approached Stalingrad one day ago and immediately launched a fierce attack.
This was originally what the Soviets most wanted to see. The German armored forces violently exchanged fire with the Soviets in Stalingrad and lost a large number of main forces ...
However, things have become complicated now. The German fighting force involved in the offensive is honestly not strong, and there are many new numbers that no one has seen. This is not good news for the Soviet army in the city. At least it shows that 80% of the German army has replaced the elite G group army and used a new force who does not know where to attack.
And obviously this unit is dedicated to fighting this tragic war. Most of them are infantry. They are equipped with a large number of old submachine guns and Mauser rifles. Although submachine guns have proved to be inferior to assault rifles in field operations. However, in street fighting, the fighting distance is often only tens of meters away, and the submachine gun has become a very useful weapon.
Both sides carefully prepared their own various means. The Soviets used the anti-aircraft positions as the basis to hide thousands of artillery pieces in the ruins of Stalingrad. They used these cannons to launch artillery battles with the German artillery. They wanted to replace injuries with damage regardless of the losses, and consumed the strength of the German artillery.
The Germans did not evade artillery battles with the Soviets as usual, but used their cannons to fight the bayonet with the Soviets. After such a comparison, the Soviet army learned a very uncomfortable fact, that is, the last short board of the German army, the quality disadvantage of artillery no longer exists.
In terms of small caliber artillery, after integrating French industrial production capacity, the German 75 mm caliber field artillery has fully surpassed the Soviet Army ’s 76.2 mm caliber artillery, and the 1o5 mm caliber field artillery has also been integrated with the Soviet army. The proud 122-mm howitzer is no match.
The war allowed the Soviet army to keep up with the pace of German tanks, shortening the gap in the main performance of the tanks on both sides; let the United States learn from the German Air Force and produce advanced fighter aircraft not inferior to the German Air Force; so the war is the best teacher, Using the lessons of blood allows people to progress at the fastest rate.
Of course, the students under the teacher's war are not only allied countries like the Soviet Union and the United States, but also the Axis Powers Germany. When it comes to the degree of good learning and the understanding of accepting new things, it is precisely that the German student is better and learns faster.
Therefore, the Soviets ’proud artillery advantage has in fact disappeared in front of the main German troops. A large number of German infantry soldiers, which are slow to move, are equipped with heavy-duty artillery with excellent performance. These artillery are already better in range accuracy and power. The equipment in the hands of the Soviet army is even better.
Krupp is the king of artillery in the world, so in order to bear this name, Krupp has also paid tens of times and hundreds of times for it. They strive for excellence in every link and use the new "automatic" assembly line to produce The products of the latest technology have finally completed the transformation from quantitative to qualitative changes through a long accumulation.
After the metamorphosis, the German 15-millimeter heavy howitzer was roaring at the Soviet artillery position and the buildings in Stalingrad city. The artillery mechanically pushed the shell into the gun barrel, then pushed the incident charge, fixed the bolt, and pulled The cannon's lead sounded and the cannon caused a deafening roar.
The Germans did not suffer any losses in artillery battles. Sometimes they even suppressed the Soviet artillery. When the two sides shot each other fiercely, the German Air Force's strategic bombers also brought a catastrophe to Stalingrad. The intensive bombing at an altitude of 8ooo meters prevented the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the Soviet Army from being effectively used, and the German cover bombing caused incalculable losses to the Soviet Army.
Not as expected, the Germans did not politely test with the Soviets, but directly put their troops into the brutal city battle. Within a day, the statistics from various departments of the Soviet Army killed more than 3ooo German soldiers. This number can be described as terrible.
"We have killed more than 3ooo Germans within 8 hours. The opponent's attack was very fierce. We lost two thirds of the outer positions. The battle is still going on ... I will stick to the position until the moment of victory. "" Rokosovsky's underground headquarters was shaken by a shell and a lot of dust fell. He squinted and assured the phone's microphone.
"You and I promised to coexist and die with Stalingrad! Now, the Caucasus war situation is very unfavorable to our army, and I need you to stick to the Caucasus for 6 months, so that Zhukov and I can prepare 3oo million new troops and invest in counterattack "Go in battle," Stalin said over the phone: "You tell me now, whether you have the confidence to stick to Stalingrad for 6 months!"
Within a day, Stalingrad had been surrounded by two sides. The German offensive passed Rokosovsky's expectations. The German army ignored the uninterrupted attacks and made the Soviet army unprepared. Now even Rokosovsky doesn't know what the war will be like, so he is silent with his microphone.
After a long time, he promised Stalin: "The great leader, Comrade Stalin, I can assure you that only I will try my best to guard Stalingrad. As for how long I can keep it, it depends on how many troops the Germans have given Now. "
This was his promise, and Stalin didn't say much. He just hung up the phone and appeared unwilling to talk to Rokosovsky. Nothing can be changed from the conspiracy and the strategy to the war until the present. What is being contested now is which of the two nations is more tenacious and which can stick to the end.
Without other tricks, if you want to win the war, you can only fill the soldiers into this huge meat grinder and continue to consume. Which side's blood drains first, which side is cruelly out, that's all.
Putting down the phone in his hand, Rokosovsky sighed and said to his deputy: "Give the armored forces an offensive order. The counterattack now begins! We cannot allow the Germans to fight like this, Always try to fight back. "
When he said these commands, another new round of German artillery began. Against the exposed Soviet position, the Germans used the Frederick rocket artillery. The dense rockets immediately covered the piece of Soviet soldiers. The area turned into a sea of ​​fire.
The huge smoke and dust caused the German rocket launcher to be shrouded in white smoke. The dust rolled up by the rocket's tail flames covered the sky, as if the smoke bomb was released. The Germans burned out 2oo rockets in the country of production in just a few tens of seconds, so that the Soviets really realized what was the gap in firepower.
"This dense artillery fire is Frederick?" Rokosovsky looked at the swaying lights above his head and asked a man with a wry smile. The man had participated in the battle on the front line and was suddenly attacked by the German Frederick rockets. Attacked, so remember this weapon that is enough to reap countless lives. There are still several shrapnel in his body, which are fragments after the weapon exploded.
"Yes, Comrade General!" The man nodded and replied to him: "The power of this weapon is very amazing. I heard that our people are also trying to imitate, but they are suffering from no reference. new progress."
"The Germans have a stronger industrial foundation than ours, and new types of weapons are emerging one after another, which is also impossible." Rokosovsky looked at his men helplessly and said: "The Germans are now estimated to be killed by about 4ooo people. However, we have already lost almost 1oooo people, which is the result of inferior weapons and tactics. "
The German losses were indeed huge. While Rokosovsky gritted his teeth and endured the terrible casualties of the front-line troops, General Küchler also reluctantly listened to his men and reported to the n-group army in his combat command. Figures of deaths. The Germans have never experienced such a huge loss in a battle. Most of his three offensive divisions have lost their offensive abilities and have been forced to be replaced by new troops.
"The Soviet counterattack was very sharp. These infantry were not the former recruits. They were all the elite of the Soviets." The soldiers handed the known Soviet number table to Quhirel, and then continued: "Our army has already 4ooo soldiers have been lost. Two frontline commanders called to ask if they would continue to attack. "
"Of course, continue to attack! Of these 4ooo people, 2ooo people are death squads composed of prisoners. In fact, we have not lost much troops, are we?" Küchler said proudly: "Tell the two front troops Long, put the Ukrainian supplementary troops into battle, and within two days, my troops will be forced into the city of Stalingrad to fight! "
"Yes! General! I will issue your combat order." The chief of staff turned and went out. With the release of one combat order after another, instead of slowing down the German offensive, it became even more crazy, and many areas appeared. The figure of the Ukrainians of the German servants, the losses of both sides are still expanding.
At sunset, Rokosovsky had to let a part of the reserve on the east bank of the Volga cross the river to join the frontal battlefield to stabilize his defense line that was on the verge of collapse.
