But this feeling is very short-lived and illusory.

Ten minutes later, when the shelling suddenly stopped, both sides jumped up and rushed towards the target they could recognize.

However, the battle ended soon because the Soviets were much smaller than the Germans, and the Germans had MP43 in their hands, which meant that as long as one of the German soldiers stood on the periphery, they could calmly use MP43 to kill the Soviet soldiers one by one.

"Russian!" Alphredo shouted fiercely at the remaining Soviet soldiers in the trench: "Raise your hands!"

Soviet soldiers dropped their submachine guns and rifles and raised their hands.

While cleaning the battlefield, Qin Chuan finally discovered the location of the Soviet anti-tank gun... It was hidden behind a broken wall and was piled up in front of the Soviet soldiers with broken cement boards, leaving only a mouth as a perforation hole, and its existence could not be found on the opposite side.

Of course, at this time it had been blown to the point where it was tilted, with several corpses of Soviet gunners nearby. I don’t know if it was German artillery fire or the “masterpiece” of Soviet artillery fire.

Werner spat at the tank gun and cursed: "It's because of this gun that we lost three tanks!"

This behavior seems normal, but it actually makes no sense... From the perspective of the Soviet army, should they still stand there and not fight back waiting for the German army to come up and deal with them?

Of course, Qin Chuan would not say anything from the perspective of the German army.

The best news is that Dominic and a few people were searching for buildings and found a Soviet battlefield kitchen in the basement. The cooks voluntarily surrendered, so they seized the millet porridge that had just been cooked in the kitchen.

The Soviet cooks were surprised to find that the German soldiers lined up in front of them with lunch boxes, just like the Germans were their captives begging for food like them.

But this beautiful soap bubble quickly shattered, and the Germans shouted fiercely at the at a loss of time: "Hurry up, Ivan, serve us porridge!"

The German attack in other directions was somewhat different from the First Infantry Regiment. They still used planes and cannons to bombard the Soviet defense line under the cover of tanks.

All of these were observed by the Trikov telescope... In order to clearly see the German attack, he risked his life to climb the tallest building on Pushkin Street: the Stalingrad Bank Building.

Cuikov noticed that Germans' close air support would deteriorate with the advancement of infantry or the terrain. Although the German "Stuka" dive bomber made it far more accurate than high-altitude bombers because of its high-speed dive bombers and were powerful, the "Stuka" bombers had extremely limited control over the precise landing points of the bomb. Therefore, unless there were huge and clearly visible targets, German bombers were reluctant to throw bombs at targets close to their own troops.

Needless to say, the German army was mistakenly bombed by its own bomber during the attack. In addition, if the weather is bad, the sight is not good, and the pilot will find it difficult for him to determine the target in the air flying at high speed.

So after Cui Kov returned to the underground command... Cui Kov's command was located on Pushkin Street, which was an underground cover transformed from a basement. There were 30 feet thick soil above it, and there were dozens of rooms for the personnel of the Group Army Command. This underground cover was called the "Chalijin Cave" by the Soviets, and was originally used for the front army to serve as a command.

(Note: Stalingrad was originally named Chalijin)

Cui Kefu stared at the map under the light for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "I think I have found the tactics to fight them during the day!"

"What?" Krelov couldn't believe it when he heard this.

"We were frightened by the enemy, Comrade Krelov!" said Cuikov. "We always thought the enemy was very powerful during the day, so we had to stay away from them so that we had time and space to block them!"

"Isn't it?" Krelov asked in confusion.

"Of course not!" Cui Kefu shook his head and said, "Because doing so will give the Germans space to attack us... I mean, if our defense line is two hundred meters or even more away from the Germans, then the Germans can bomb us with planes, cannons and tanks! In this way, we will not only fail to defend the defense line, but also have a large number of casualties under their bombing, and there are meaningless casualties!"

After pausing, Cuikov continued: "But if we push the defense line forward to a place that is only 100 meters, 50 meters, or even closer to the Germans..."

Krelov couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard Cuikov's words.

This was something I could never imagine before, because the German army had advantages over the Soviet army in terms of equipment and quality. Pushing the defense line in front of the German army was almost no different from seeking death.

But that's not what Cui Kefu thought.

"That way!" Cui Kev continued: "Enemy 'Stuka' bombers and artillery dare not launch a strike against our army unless they will blow up together with their own troops. If they do, it will be beneficial to us!"

Cui Kefu was right. If one life could be exchanged for another, the Soviet army would choose to exchange without hesitation.

"But even so, the enemy still has tanks, Comrade Cuikov!" said Krelov.

"Yes, tank!" Cuikov nodded: "That's really a headache, but if both of us and the enemy are in the same building, or even in the same room, do you think the German tanks know where to fight?"

Krelov nodded when he heard this.

In other words, the troops should try to push forward, use the cover of buildings and ruins to fight melee with the Germans, and launch a counterattack against the Germans as before... They should take the lead in both day and night, unless the threat posed by the enemy is too great to ambassador the Soviet army has no choice.

"At the same time!" Cui Kefu thought for a while, and then continued: "We should carry out a dispersed group battle!"

"Team combat?" This once again stunned Krelov.

The Soviet army's previous consensus was that the German army's quality and firepower were better than the Soviet army, so if the Soviet army wanted to defeat the enemy, it would have to invest more and more intensive forces.

But Cui Kefu now said "group combat". Will this not be defeated by the German army?
