When Zhukov was ordered in danger, the German army had captured Velgachi 50 kilometers north of Karachi overnight as planned.

The reason for this is Weljacchi is that the Don River from the port city Karachi to Weljacchi has a big bend. The Soviets called it the Great Bay Territory, and two divisions of the 62nd Army were deployed along the curved Don River bank.

At this time, Lieutenant General Lopatin, the commander of the 62nd Army, should make a quick decision, immediately order these two divisions to withdraw from Stalingrad, so that they can play a role in the defense of Stalingrad.

But it was also because of Stalin's Order No. 227... Although everyone in the Soviet army from top to bottom knew that the Soviet army stationed in the Greater Bay division should retreat, Lieutenant General Lopatin was hesitating, and the soldiers on the front line were worried that they would be sent to the punishment camp and dared not retreat, so everyone did not move.

Just when the Soviet army was still unable to make up, the 21st German Armored Division rushed to the city of Weljacci and captured Weljacci at lightning speed... Weljacci had no armored trains, and the Soviet army lacked anti-tank equipment even hoped to use homemade mooring bottles to stop the German tanks from advancing.

The Soviets called this mooring bottle "Molotov cocktail", but ironically the name was taken by the Finns...

During the Soviet-Finn War, most countries blamed the naked Soviet invasion, especially European and American countries.

In response, the Soviet People's Foreign People's Commissar (Minister of Foreign Affairs) Motolov explained to these countries: "Soviet planes did not throw bombs at the Finnish people, we were just airdropping bread at the hungry Finnish people!"

This was heard in Finland. At that time, Finnish military and civilians generally used simple and effective local mooring bottles to block Soviet tanks. So the Finnish people joked: "The Soviets dropped bread at us, and we should treat them with cocktails!"

So the "Motorov cocktail" came out of nowhere.

If the "Motorov cocktail" is effective against Soviet tanks, Qin Chuan was not surprised at all.

This is not because of the tank. In fact, from the perspective of the tank, this kind of earth-made combustor should be more effective for German tanks.

On the one hand, this is because German tanks are more likely to be ignited using gasoline engines, while on the other hand, many German tanks have front-mounted engines.

The key to the problem lies in the coordination between Butan.

The Soviet army's infantry and tank coordination ability was very poor, which was particularly obvious in the Soviet-Finn War... It was because the Soviets had just entered the war and entered the battlefield completely as laymen.

Therefore, Finnish military and civilians were often able to go around the rear of Soviet tanks and throw the molten bottle to the position of the tank engine to overheat and malfunction.

However, for the German army, this was almost impossible with their strict coordination between the invasion and tank, and even these people holding the moor bottles could not get close to the tank within a hundred meters.

The more threatened one is actually the infantry...

When the Soviets found that their moor bottles could not be thrown onto the tank, they would turn their targets to the German infantry, and for them they could kill one or the other.

So, the German soldiers who were advancing were suddenly attacked by a bottle of wine and screamed with fire.

It was very miserable, and even worse, some people survived by their comrades...

Qin Chuan had a subordinate who was in this situation. He was burned on a large scale, and there was blood that appeared when the skin was blooming. The soldier cried and stretched out his equally charred hand to touch his pain, but when he touched it, a layer of skin fell and exposed the flesh that was still steaming inside.

Although the casualties caused by this were not large, they caused certain threats to the German army. The reason is that this thing is too simple to make. You only need to fill a little gasoline and kerosene into the bottle, then stuff a strip of cloth, and light it up before throwing it.

The result of simple production is that this thing is full of things that are hard to guard against. As you walk, a molten bottle suddenly dropped from the roof.

"Damn the Soviets!" Werner couldn't help but curse: "They should fight us in a more decent way!"

This is not what Werner said alone, many German soldiers and even German officers said so.

This may be a cultural difference. They retain something like chivalrous spirit, or it can be said to be a duel culture... Although the purpose is cruel to kill the other party, they will find a notary or even prepare a doctor, and then face to face a "decent" life-and-death battle when both parties are fully prepared.

But war is not the case. It only has cruelty, only reality and the interests of the red-hot. Or Germany has realized this but the German soldiers have not kept up with this ideological progress.

In any case, the mooring bottle could not stop the German army from advancing.

The result of occupying the turning point of the Greater Bay Division of Weljacchi was that two divisions of the 62nd Army were surrounded by the Greater Bay Division, and they had only two choices: to surrender, or jump into the Don River.

Most of the Soviet soldiers chose the former, but some still chose the latter... These soldiers may not want to implicate their families and let them live in humiliation, so they chose to end their lives in this way.

The 21st Armored Division rested here for two hours... The tanks needed one maintenance after more than 100 kilometers of march. At the same time, the fuel and ammunition of the 21st Armored Division were almost consumed, especially the ammunition of the First Infantry Regiment... The power ammunition in the middle has not yet been popularized in the German army, so the ammunition of the First Infantry Regiment has always been a problem.

However, this was quickly resolved, because at this time, several divisions in Group B Army replaced the submachine guns with MP43, so these infantry divisions also had MP43 ammunition.

At the command of Paulus, he asked these divisions to concentrate the MP43 ammunition and send it to Vergach.

Some of the officers and soldiers of the B Group Army protested to Paulus: "What should we do if we give the bullet to someone else?"

Paulus replied simply: "Is there any difference? They will shoot bullets into the chests of the Soviets for you. You just need to go forward to occupy the enemy's land. What else can you complain about?"

Paulus said nothing wrong with this. The 6th Army almost followed the 21st Armored Division to occupy cities and strongholds.

But this is not all the case. The 6th Army also has an armored army... The 14th Armored Army, which is composed of an armored division and two motorcycle divisions.
