The so-called "oiling tactic" refers to the method of using small groups of troops to attack one after another, just like adding oil to an oil lamp. One time is not enough, and adding more points is not enough.

This tactic is actually not called a tactic, because it is actually a derogatory term, which refers to the unnecessary waste of troops ineffective command.

But there is a saying that "the soldiers are indefinitely illusory, and the water is indefinitely illusory." In actual combat, this kind of seemingly useless or even wrong tactic is often needed.

For example, now, there are only a small number of German troops in Mamayevgang.

If the Soviet army sent large troops to capture the enemy at one time, it might be successful, but the result of success is that the German army fired huge cannons to kill and injure the German army in large numbers.

So Rodimtev only increased his combat effectiveness just by little, and his combat effectiveness was just beyond the German army on the high ground.

At this time, the German army had two choices, one was to cover it with artillery fire, and the other was to add some troops to the high ground to block the Soviet attack.

But if it is covered with artillery fire, the Soviet army does not have much force, so it is generally not a choice. Later, because the forces on both sides are large and elite, they cannot be used.

Therefore, a pattern of "if you add a little, I will add a little," will gradually form, and then the pattern of increasing forces will continue to be circulated.

In this regard, Rodimtev is still very thoughtful.

Qin Chuan felt this that night.

That night, Qin Chuan was sleeping in the trenches... In fact, he couldn't sleep at night. Stalingrad in July is dry season, mosquitoes are flying around in pieces, and the eldest green-headed flies are buzzing around. What's particularly disgusting is that you don't know which rotten corpse these flies had a delicious meal.

This is actually a very serious problem. The weather is hot and poisonous insects are rampant, and the city is full of ruins and garbage. What's worse is that as the war develops, the corpses are piled up one by one and no one is buried... No one has the extra effort to bury these corpses. This is not only because there are too many corpses, but also because burying corpses is still very dangerous, because there may be enemy snipers hidden in the ruins and even in the corpses. If you care about these corpses, then you will soon become a corpse.

The problems caused by this may lead to a large-scale plague.

But the Soviet Union, who had already been red-eyed, didn't care about so much. Perhaps the Soviets still hoped it would happen, because if the plague spread, it would drive the Germans away like the cold winter in Moscow.

In this regard, Qin Chuan also hopes that winter will arrive soon, at least in the snow and ice, there is no need to smell the disgusting smell of rottenness in the air, or at least not see the city in front of him, which is full of corpses, broken limbs and broken arms and ruins like hell.

At this time, the correspondent ran to Qin Chuan and reported: "Major, the reconnaissance team C report. They heard some movement in the south slope. The Soviets seemed to be building fortifications!"

The garrison of Mamayev Hill was also carried out in rotation, because no one could remain vigilant for a long time in that state of high tension.

Qin Chuan opened his jerky eyes in a daze, took the phone from the correspondent, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Major!" A soldier's nervous voice came from the other end of the phone: "We are sure they are Soviets. I think they are preparing to attack the highlands!"

"Have the flares been fired?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Of course!" the soldier replied: "But we couldn't find anything, and we narrowly discovered some new soil they dug!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

The Soviets generally did not choose to attack at night because the Soviet army was of poor quality and it was difficult to organize at night.

However, this seems to be inappropriate to the Soviet army in front of him... Qin Chuan knew from the prisoners that the enemy they were facing was the 13th Infantry Division of the Su Guards, which was also a unit that grew up in combat. If they were confident in their qualities, choosing night battles could also avoid the German air superiority.

Of course, even so, these so-called elite Soviet troops are still far from that of the Germans, especially compared with the 1st Infantry Regiment.

What were the Soviets doing?

Qin Chuan didn't know, so he said to the phone: "Continue to observe and report any situation at any time!"

"Yes, Major!"

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan seemed to understand that the Soviet army might be fighting with the German army for Mamayev hill face to face. What they are doing now is to build some bunkers on the south slope of Mamayev hill in the dark to facilitate their charge.

Or lurking to a close distance to shorten the charge distance... The Chinese army often does this when its equipment is weak, so Qin Chuan is very familiar with this.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan immediately said to Fergman: "Captain, take a platoon to reinforce Mamayev and be responsible for the command there!"

"Yes, Major!" Fergman responded and immediately called a platoon to run towards Mamayev hill along the traffic trench.

As mentioned before, Fergman graduated from the military academy and joined the 1st Infantry Regiment. He needs to get more training, especially commanding the night battle... The last time Fergman's mistake almost killed Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan is still in fear.

As expected, things were as Qin Chuan thought. Not long after, a few red flares rose up in the south slope, and then the Soviet army launched an attack on Mamayevgang amid the sound of mortars.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that the Soviet army drove five tanks to assist in the war... Before that, the German army did not notice that the Soviet army had transported the tanks at all.

Obviously, the Soviet army unexpectedly captured Mamayevgang, so they covered the sound of cannons and advanced to the bottom of the southern slope.

That was Rodimtev worried that the Soviet army would not be able to confront the German army... The German army used MP43, and Rodimtev had long known its effectiveness until now.

The dense gunfire and explosion sounded quickly on Mamayev's hill. From the report on the phone, Qin Chuan knew that the Soviet army was building fortifications while advancing towards the top of the mountain, and from time to time, they also launched a charge to the top of the mountain.

When Qin Chuan heard these things, he felt half relieved.

Because he had determined at this time that the Soviets wanted a "stupid way" to steal Mamayev's post.

This is actually Qin Chuan's original intention to capture Mamayevgang at the beginning... he would rescue him and then fight a regular battle with the Soviets.

Of course, this will definitely cause casualties to the 1st Infantry Regiment, but how can you avoid casualties when fighting?

Qin Chuan believed that no matter what, this would be better than fighting street wars with the Soviet army in Stalingrad City or guerrilla warfare.
