Chapter 672 Defense

The scene of the Soviet female pilot committing suicide has been lingering in Qin Chuan's mind.

Perhaps it was because women rarely appeared on the battlefield, perhaps it was because the woman had a deep fear and nostalgia for the world before she died, or perhaps it was touching the soft part of the soldiers' hearts, which made the soldiers bury their heads in their hands speechlessly.

Qin Chuan could understand their thoughts. The female pilot actually reminded them of their family, such as their mother, sister, and fiancée... Because Qin Chuan was no exception, he couldn't help but think of his family in Frankfurt, his relatives who were waiting for him to go back, and Hannah, who didn't know where he was at this time.

As the soldiers were silent, the sky gradually darkened, and the atmosphere became tense again, because everyone knew that the enemy's counterattack was about to begin.

Taking advantage of the night, the German soldiers withdrew from the three buildings.

Of course, there were two troops connected to the left and right beforehand, only the second battalion, and the third battalion passed the air... In fact, the barbed wire built by the German army and the location where the mines were laid out must be ventilated with the left and right friendly forces, because in this way, the friendly forces can cover each other and identify the enemy and us with locations.

"Order!" Qin Chuan said: "Don't attack at will, don't get up, and do not move around in areas outside the trenches unless necessary!"

Eberhard responded and passed the orders one by one.

This order has been emphasized before, not only in the First Infantry Regiment, but all troops entering Stalingrad should do so.

The reason is very simple... It is difficult to identify the enemy and us in the dark ruins, especially the Soviet army may infiltrate from the tunnel. In this way, there is only one way for the German army to identify the other party, whether they are moving or whether they are getting up.

There was silence all around, and only artillery fire exploded in the distance without a single sound, and occasionally one or two shots would explode nearby... That was the artillery deployed by the Soviet army on the other side of the Volga River, which was the only thing that the Soviet army had an advantage in the direction of Stalingrad.

The reason is that the Soviet artillery on the east bank of the Volga River had very free logistics and had many artillery that could not be transported across the river.

In fact, the Soviet army did not need to transport artillery across the river at all, because their artillery could directly hit Stalingrad from the east coast. As mentioned before, Stalingrad was in the east and was only five kilometers deep to the west.

This made the Soviet army more artillery than the German army and more shells than the German army. In artillery battles, they were once suppressed by the Soviet army and could not move. In the end, they could only be separated by a distance and only targeted Stalingrad as the target... That is, the artillery of both the enemy and our sides were outside each other's range, but if they could all attack Stalingrad, Stalingrad would have to suffer.

With a "boom", a sudden explosion sounded in the darkness.

The explosion was obviously not a shell but a landmine, because then a scream came... The German army laid a "S"-shaped jumping lightning, and as long as one was detonated, it would hurt several enemies around it.

But the screams quickly turned into some insignificant whimpers, and then gradually faded away.

It was the Soviets who were worried about exposing their targets to cover the wounded's mouth and sending them away.

In fact, there is no need for them to do this, because the Germans emphasize defense more at night, especially after using the "lattice tactic", it is even less likely to attack at night.

"Bang bang!" Several gunshots came from behind, and then several grenade explosions.

The soldiers with rapid intelligence were transmitted to Qin Chuan one by one: "I found the enemy's tunnel entrance and blocked it!"

Soon, another order came from, and five authentic tunnels were discovered one after another.

From this we can also see that the tunnel entrance is actually difficult to block, because it has not even been dug up when the German soldiers searched, and there is no sign of it from the outside, just like the German army did in Holm.

However, because the German soldiers were tightly defending and all of them were lying in the dark and they saw the movement, they would hit the target, which led to the failure of the Soviet infiltration units one after another.

Qin Chuan thought the Soviet army's attack would begin soon, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement at all.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan understood that the Soviet army's offense was combined with internal infiltration and external attack. If there was no chaos within the German army, it would mean that they could not successfully infiltrate, then the Soviet army would choose to remain silent in order to preserve its strength. After all, the military strength is also a valuable resource for the Soviet army, especially Stalingrad.

Then, Qin Chuan gave an order: "Let some people shoot, scream a few times, and pretend to be in a melee!"

Eberhard was stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly understood Qin Chuan's meaning and passed the order on.

A few minutes later, Kuhn was heard shouting behind him: "Enemy, shoot!"

Another person shouted in the gunshot: "No, we are our own people! Don't shoot!"

"Then is the enemy!"

"Bastard, keep it steady!" Kuhn ordered loudly: "Don't shoot randomly!"

After a few explosions, another scream came.

If it weren't for the order given by Qin Chuan himself, I'm afraid even he would have been deceived by them... I didn't realize that these usually serious German soldiers really have the talent for acting.

Of course, the Soviet army, who were ambushing in the front, would not miss this opportunity, so a shout of killing suddenly broke out in the darkness, and mortar shells also smashed into the German defense line in large numbers... The Soviet army was indeed fooled.

Several flares rose into the air, and groups of Soviet soldiers suddenly emerged from the originally empty ruins. They were holding rifles or poposa submachine guns, only one hundred meters or even dozens of meters away from the German defense line. Groups of ants rushed towards the German army under the cover of artillery fire.

It is no wonder that the German army could not resist the Soviet attack. If it were at other times, when there were internal and external troubles, the German army would soon be trapped in hand-to-hand combat and close combat with the Soviet army.

Of course, this does not mean that the Soviet army will definitely win in hand-to-hand combat and close combat.

In fact, because the German army's individual soldiers are better than the Soviet army, they also have advantages in hand-to-hand combat.

The problem is that hand-to-hand combat will weaken the German army's advantages in equipment and quality, so the German army cannot maintain a huge casualty ratio like the northern defense line... When the Soviet army launched an attack on the northern defense line, it was common to play a 10-1 casualty ratio in the enemy-to-we-injury ratio.

In this regard, as long as the Soviet army can fight in hand-to-hand combat, it is a victory, even if it defeats a 2-1 or even 3-1 casualties.

Of course, the Soviet army would not be so relaxed this time.

Landmines exploded one by one, and the entire Soviet army that was charging slowed down.

Then Qin Chuan shouted: "Let's fire!"
