"It's hard for us to find an effective way to deal with this tactic!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qin Chuan did not lie. He knew that this was the famous urban guerrilla tactic. It made the enemy feel like he punched it out but hit the mud without any effort.

Urban guerrilla warfare is actually not very different from jungle guerrilla warfare. The difference is that the former is in the ruins of the city while the latter is in the jungle.

If there are any tactics that can deal with guerrilla warfare well, then modern and modern United States and the Soviet Union will not be deeply trapped in Vietnam or in the quagmire of Afghanistan.

Of course, it would be a different matter if the enemy is a veteran of guerrilla warfare.

For example, in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the Chinese army used guerrilla warfare against guerrilla warfare and special operations against special operations. In the end, the Japanese devils had to ask for peace with their teeth and took the initiative to seek peace.

However……

Not to mention that the German army is more suitable for regular warfare than guerrilla warfare. Even if the German army adapts to this new tactic with the Soviet army with its high quality, it will definitely be a war that takes a long time and has suffered heavy casualties.

However, the German army could not afford to spend it in Stalingrad and could not wait because when winter came, it was not even necessary to enter winter. When the temperature dropped in October, the German army would lose its combat effectiveness due to lack of cold-resistance equipment.

(Note: The average temperature in Stalingrad in October is 4-12 degrees. When the temperature reaches below zero, the river water begins to freeze)

"Hmm!" Listening to Qin Chuan's words, Major General Wittersheim spread his hands unconsciously and said, "Major, you said that last time, but in the end you found a way to deal with it, even though you called it a 'stupid way'!"

Qin Chuan could only smile bitterly.

What Major General Wittsheim didn't know was that Qin Chuan called the "grid tactic" a stupid method last time, part of the reason was that he knew that this tactic could not solve the problem of Stalingrad, and at the same time he knew that the battle in Stalingrad would be transformed into this war of attrition.

It's a bit like World War I.

During World War I, since there were no tanks, both the enemy and us only needed to dig trenches, lay barbed wire and mines in front of the trenches, then put machine guns in the trenches, and artillery on the second line...

Such a defense line can almost be said to be invincible. As long as there is enough ammunition, no matter how many people come up, they will become corpses.

So it turned into a trench war that was stalemate, and both the enemy and us were digging trenches and then stalemate and consumed.

The emergence of tanks broke this deadlock, but it still exists in highlands, cities and other special terrains where tanks are difficult to maneuver.

In other words, a large part of the reason why Stalingrad became a meat grinder was the stalemate during World War I.

Now, it is not easy to break this deadlock.

"Maybe we can use cannons!" Seeing that Qin Chuan did not speak, Colonel Slein suggested: "If we use cannon fire to blow the enemy-controlled area into ruins, the Soviets would have no place to hide!"

"This may be a method!" Major General Wittsheim nodded.

"Do we have so many shells?" General Streck asked.

"Maybe we have it!" Major General Witsheim replied: "This has something to do with you..."

As he said that, Major General Wittsheim pointed to the Caucasus region on the map and said, "You have captured the Caucasus region. Marshal Manstein restored the production of the arsenal in the Transcaucasus, especially artillery and shells, which we can transport them by railway. In addition..."

After pausing, Major General Wittsheim continued: "We still have 'Dora'!"

The officers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

Of course, Qin Chuan knew what "Dora" was, which refers to the German giant artillery force.

"This may work!" General Streck nodded and said, "You must know that it can destroy 100-foot bunkers, which means they can blow up or collapse the Soviet tunnels!"

"Yes!" said Colonel Slein: "If the Soviets had no authenticity, they would not have been able to burrow around us like mice!"

"Major, what do you think?" Seeing that Qin Chuan did not speak, Wittsheim asked: "I want to know your opinion!"

"I am sorry, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't think these giant cannons are useful, although they will indeed pose a threat to the Soviet bunkers and may even blow Stalingrad into ruins!"

"Why?" Wittsheim asked in confusion.

"The problem is..." Qin Chuan asked replies without answering: "When we bomb Stalingrad into ruins, will the Soviets' tactics not be implemented? They can still fight us in the ruins, but for us... in front of the big pits and ruins blown out by giant cannons, the tanks cannot advance and cannot move!"

This is not Qin Chuan's alarmist statement, but the fact that the German army did use giant artillery troops when they attacked Stalingrad in history.

It was Manstein who threw the giant cannon because it won the victory with giant cannons when attacking the Sevastopol Fortress, so Hitler transferred it to Stalingrad to continue to bombard the Soviet-controlled area.

But the result was not ideal. As Qin Chuan said, it was basically impossible to use artillery fire to destroy the enemy and destroy all underground fortifications... Especially those giant cannon shells only have dozens of rounds, and their effect on authentic fortifications as dense as spider webs is very limited. The side effects it brings are large pieces of ruins and cannons that affect the German army's own mobility.

Upon hearing this, Major General Wittsheim and other officers couldn't help but remain silent.

After hesitating for a while, Major General Wittsheim said, "If we have no other way, why not try it?"

Qin Chuan could not refute this. After all, the war was indecisive. More importantly, Wittsheim and others did not know history like Qin Chuan, so it was understandable that they would like to try it.

So when the Soviet and German troops fought against each other and blood against blood, the plan for the assembly of the German giant artillery troops began.

But the assembly of giant artillery troops was not as easy as imagined.

Another name for the "Dora" giant cannon is "Heavy Gustav", which is the heaviest artillery in World War II, with a caliber of 31.5 inches.

A giant cannon like this requires 60 train cars just to dismantle and transport it. The operation, protection and maintenance of this cannon requires 4,120 people, and a major general, a major and 1,500 soldiers for launch control and operation alone.

What's worse is that it takes a month to install this giant cannon.

But German officers didn't seem to realize that time is the most important thing for them.
