Chapter 51: Flies and Mosquitoes
The Soviet soldiers stepped on the snow and attacked Stalingrad with the roar of tanks. But to their surprise, the Germans did not attack them anymore. The Soviet soldiers walked past the place where their companions had just fallen. They found that the Germans seemed to have disappeared. Some brave soldiers rushed into the ruins where the Germans had just opened fire. But as soon as they stepped in, the explosions followed one after another. The German soldiers buried a large number of mines before leaving. The Soviet soldiers stepped on it and were immediately bombed into the sky.
After a panic, the Soviet soldiers quickly calmed down and rushed into the city. After the Soviet soldiers rushed into the city, they immediately launched an attack according to the quick order, but the Soviet soldiers did not know what kind of welcome method was waiting for them.
The entire outer city of Stalingrad was covered with various traps, sprinkled with all kinds of landmines, infantry mines, anti-tank mines, and water mines. As long as the mines that were named were buried in gravel and rubble, the Soviet soldiers had to pay countless lives for every step forward. The remaining houses were also covered with traps. Many soldiers would explode immediately when they opened the door. Traps were already covered behind the door, and as soon as the Soviet soldiers pushed open the door, they would activate the trap.
Of course, there were also many kind-hearted German soldiers who wrote a sign on some sections of the road, which said in German, "There are mines in front of them, please do not pick them at will, and the encirclement will be fined 100,000 rubles." But the Soviet soldiers ignored the advice on the sign and could not understand German anyway. They entered the mine array without hesitation. As a result, they were blown into powder. This made the German soldiers who were observing with a telescope in the distance sigh loudly, "If you don't listen to the enemy's words, you will suffer a loss in front of you. I have warned you like this, and you will step on it. It's such an idiot." Soldier B asked, "You are writing German, of course they can't understand it."
The German army buried countless mines on the outskirts of Stalingrad and formed a terrible mine formation. After losing countless outstanding soldiers, the Soviet troops finally rushed out of the mine formation. But as soon as the Soviet soldiers rushed out of the mine formation, they encountered the strong firepower of the German soldiers who were ready to fight, and street fighting began.
Jintian listened to the staff's report calmly in the command center, "General Ge Siyun, the Soviet army has broken through our mine array and started street fighting with us. General Wright called to do a messy action plan." Jintian nodded and said, "Give power to Wright and agree to implement a messy action plan. Tell him, don't worry about Geneva or Monthly. History is written by the winners. As long as we win, we are just and can be remembered forever. If we fail, we are bandits and murderers. In another ten thousand years, we will be stinking shit."
The Soviet soldiers finally saw the German soldiers. The German soldiers unexpectedly emerged from the ruins, raised various weapons, and poured bullets at the Soviet soldiers in front of them. Countless Soviet soldiers who were careful to observe whether there were mines on the ground were swept to the ground like cutting wheat. Especially the flamethrower, which showed a lot of gun holes in the battle. He burned a large area, and all the people burned became Martians. The fire net composed of flamethrowers and machine guns massacred the Soviet people in front of them. After the Soviet tanks entered the city, they kept moving slowly and it was difficult to advance on the road covered with mines and could not support infantry operations. For a moment, the Soviet attack was blocked. The two sides entered a stalemate. The sound of shouts, explosions, screams, and shooting became the mainstream of Stalingrad, and countless lives evaporated in the fierce firefight.
At the Soviet Front Command, Malinovsky sighed anxiously, and Zhukov sent several more telegrams, one more severe than the other. Malinovsky also understood Zhukov's current mood. But the Germans' blockade came more intense than expected. When Malinovsky was in trouble with the battle situation, the staff officers on the side walked up to him, "General, call from the front line, we were stubbornly blocked by the German army. Now we have suffered heavy losses and can no longer carry out as planned. We hope to get reinforcements and strengthen the attack."
When Malinovsky heard this, he sighed and said, "Half of the reserve troops were transferred up and told the commanders on the front line that they must carry forward the spiritual instructions of Comrade Stalin, fight bravely, not afraid of hardships or sacrifices, and attack Stalingrad as soon as possible to contribute to the early liberation of the entire Soviet Union."
After a pause, the Soviet attack began again. The reinforcements sent by Malinovsky reached the designated position, and the tanks also launched firepower reinforcements. They fired guns at the German firepower point and cleared them one by one. With the cooperation of the tanks, the Soviet soldiers began to attack again.
When the German soldiers saw the Soviet tanks rushing up, they immediately gave up their positions, scattered to all sides, and fought guerrilla warfare with the Soviets. Since the current Soviet army could not launch a full-scale attack on Stalingrad, they could only focus on attacking important targets. In response, Jintian ordered, "We must resolutely launch, fly war, mosquito war. The meaning is that the enemy advances and we disperse, the enemy stops and disturbs us, the enemy retreats and we bite them, and the enemy sieges. We must firmly defend the important targets and support points. However, the secondary targets should be given up, and use various means to attack the Soviet army, consume the vitality of the Soviet army. Try to avoid hand-to-hand combat, close combat, preserve strength, reduce casualties, and prepare for counterattack.
The German soldiers firmly implemented Jintian's combat ideas and immediately ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. Those who could not escape hid, and the sewers, rubble, and basements were all good places to hide. In Jintian's words, face is important, and life is even more valuable. Of course, before running away, they would not forget to leave a few small traps for the Soviets to die.
Jintian's tactic made the Soviet soldiers complain. After losing many houses and fortifications, they rushed up and found that all the Germans were missing. But as soon as they left the occupied place, the Germans emerged from somewhere and opened fire on their backs.
Some Soviet soldiers would see a sausage on the road as they walked. But when a soldier picked up the sausage, they would immediately hear a dog barking, and then they would see a wild dog with a bomb tied up on it, and the bomb was sparking. As a result, there was a loud bang. The wild dog exploded when he bit the sausage. It turned out that after Jintian led his army to attack Stalingrad, he actually found that there were many wild dogs in Stalingrad. Jintian had an idea and gathered the wild dogs in the city. All the wild dogs were hungry to death. Then they put a sausage on the ground. As soon as the Soviets picked up the sausages, the soldiers observing from a distance would release the wild dogs tied with bombs. The hungry wild dogs pounced on them as soon as they smelled the sausages, and they exploded.
Some soldiers who were alone would find a bottle of vodka on the cabinet in the room after entering a relatively intact room. When he walked up to pick up the wine in ecstasy, he would feel a slump behind his head and fell to the ground. Then a fat man with a spoon bigger than a head came out and muttered, "The 9th one."
Some Soviet soldiers suddenly fell down a football while advancing. After a closer look, it turned out that there was a bomb tied to the football. Amid the screams of the Soviet soldiers, the bomb exploded. It turned out that Jinda gathered the soldiers who could order football in the army and tied them to the football. After discovering the Soviet army in the distance, he kicked it hard with his feet. When the Soviets were still inexplicably surprised, the bomb exploded.
