This incident made Qin Chuan understand one thing. It is not that well-trained soldiers can withstand the test of war if they have experienced many battles.

To be precise, no one can do this. The reason why Qin Chuan and others have not fallen down and collapsed is not that they are strong enough, but that the time has not come yet.

Perhaps because this suggestion was proposed by Colonel Slain, he came to the battlefield to inspect the situation soon.

After seeing the ruins in front of him, he said to Qin Chuan beside him: "You are right, Major. The shells cannot solve the problem. They hinder the way for the tanks to advance. Now, we have to charge towards the Soviets without any covert on this ruin!"

Colonel Slein was right. Even this tactic could not cause much casualties to the Soviets, because Cuikov gave another order... As soon as he heard the sound of cannons, all the soldiers stationed in the building turned into the basement.

There are usually thick soil layers between basements and ground buildings, and they are located in the strongest part of the foundation, so even if all ground buildings are blown up, they often cannot pose a threat to basements.

The Soviets waited for the shelling to end there, and then they could move to other buildings or ground through tunnels.

"But this can't change anything, right?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain replied: "They brought in 'Carl', and the 'Dora' is already assembled. They would think that conventional artillery might not have much effect, but 'Carl' and 'Dora' can do it!"

As Qin Chuan expected, the giant cannon should be the product of outdated military theory during World War I. The reason is that these cannons are too large in size, and the personnel and materials needed to support and use them are of no cost-effectiveness. What's worse is... Things like the "Dora" giant cannon must always be guarded against enemy air force sneak attacks, because Soviet air force pilots would see a huge target below from a distance.

Therefore, the layout of the "Dora" giant cannon is not a simple problem of a giant cannon. It must also lay out air defense firepower around it, and even arrange fighter jets to protect the surrounding airspace.

All of this is to enable it to fire three shells per hour, and its barrel has a lifespan of only 150 rounds.

If it is reasonable to use it to deal with fortress-style turrets like Sevastopol, because each of these fortress-style turrets has considerable value, but what if you destroy a building or a few tunnels? There are tens of millions of buildings like this in Stalingrad, and the Soviets could immediately dig out a few similar tunnels.

But it is obvious that halfway through the plan, Wittsheim and even Paulus would not give up easily, and even Colonel Slein, who made this suggestion, would not help.

"Sorry, Major!" said Colonel Slain.

"What?"

"I mean the stupid advice I made!"

"Please, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "This has nothing to do with you!"

Colonel Slain shook his head, then left without saying anything.

Qin Chuan could understand Colonel Slein's idea. He was not actually frustrated because the suggestion was unsuccessful, but because the suggestion he made would kill many German soldiers from his subordinates and even other troops.

This is true, because the situation worsens further.

The German army attacked the side, and no matter whether it was a ruin or a building in front of them, they had to attack.

If it is a building, German soldiers can also approach the building under the cover of tanks and then clear one after another.

But if there is a ruin in front of you, the tank will not only not play any role but will also become a burden... The German infantry must occupy these ruins with enemy bullets and artillery fire, and clear out a passage so that the tank can continue to advance.

What's even more terrifying is that the Soviets would try to fight the Germans in close combat at any time, that is, they would approach the distance of about 50 meters, even the ruins were no exception.

This distance is even the distance to throw grenades. Both the enemy and us can throw grenades at each other when they hide in the trenches.

In other words, it will not be safe at any time. When eating, resting, or even convenience, it is possible to suddenly throw a grenade with blue smoke from the opposite side.

So, bloody battles began between the Soviet and German armies.

The two armies were so close that the cannons, tanks, and aircraft all lost their function... To be precise, the cannons were useful, because the Soviets sometimes ignored the shells and would blow their own people to fire on the front line. After all, for them, it would be a profit to be able to kill several Germans.

This brings the battle closer to one battle, or to be precise, it is closer to the original hand-to-hand combat... After a grenade was thrown over, it shouted and charged towards the opponent's position.

At a distance of fifty meters, it rushed to the blink of an eye, and then there were bayonets, stones, teeth, and everything that could be used.

In this regard, the 1st Infantry Regiment has obvious advantages, but the reason is that MP43.

Equipped with MP43, even though they were only fifty meters between the enemy and us, the firepower they fired could still push the Soviets' charge back again and again.

Even so, the First Infantry Regiment still paid more than 500 casualties... Although this casualty was calculated for the entire army, because the other German troops even had few remaining in the entire regiment.

But for the 1st Infantry Regiment, such casualties cannot be ignored. In particular, the 1st Infantry Regiment is an elite force. They will airborne, cooperate with tanks, and even land amphibiously, but all these skills cannot be used, and they can only stay in the ruins and throw grenades with the Soviets or fight in close combat.

"Do you have any good solutions?" Colonel Slain finally couldn't bear the torture. He called Qin Chuan to his command center and said distressedly: "Major, we can't let the battle continue like this!"

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "But colonel, you should know that if I had a way, I would not have put myself in this danger!"

"But you always have a way, right?" said Colonel Slain. "End this situation no matter what!"

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said, "If there is any solution, I think... we shouldn't be led by the Soviets like this, that is, we have to change the game method!"

"Yes, of course we have to change!" said Colonel Slain. "The question is how to change!"
