Chapter 248 We are from hell! Soviet soldiers charge into the fire!
The sky continues.

【Then, there were a few days of rare peace. 】

[But in fact, Stalingrad was already in a semi-encircled state. ]

[The 62nd and 64th Armies, responsible for guarding the city, were also cut off by the Germans and could only be resupplied through the Volga River crossing.]

【At the same time, the German army also had a hard time in the offensive. 】

[The Soviet army refused to give up an inch of territory.]

[As long as the German army is there, it will be impossible to prevent the defenders of Stalingrad from receiving reinforcements and supplies. ]

[Even if the whole city is reduced to ruins, they will never retreat. ]

【The battle is going on fiercely.】

[According to the German army's initial battle plan, they actually did not intend to storm Stalingrad. ]

[And now this plan urgently needs to be adjusted. ]

[The German High Command ordered Paulus to capture Stalingrad to cover the main German force that was attacking the oil fields in the Caucasus.]

[The German High Command believed that Stalingrad could be captured within a few weeks.]

【But Paulus met with Hitler in person and poured cold water on him. 】

[Paulus reported to Hitler: "In the fierce fighting over the past two months, the Sixth Army has suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of its troops have been consumed. In addition, I have to transfer my most combat-effective troops to the left wing to protect my flank from being surrounded."]

[When answering the question, when can Stalingrad be occupied? ]

[Paulus answered truthfully.]

[“Based on the current situation, I cannot determine when we can finally occupy it. I must have the support of three strong divisions.”]

【This time, Hitler gave Paulus reinforcements. 】

[This also includes two powerful tank divisions! 】

【With such a powerful force, the German army was determined to capture Stalingrad. 】

【And on the Soviet side. 】

[The 62nd Army is the only remaining defensive force and the last hope for the entire city.]

[The entire army group has less than 20% of the soldiers as before.]

[There are only 55 tanks left in the entire army.]

[Some tanks that were damaged and unable to move but could still fire were buried underground and used as fixed turrets.]

[The soldiers of the 62nd Army Group performed very bravely.]

[But with these troops, it is impossible to defend successfully. ]

[On September 9, a new infantry division was sent to Stalingrad for support.]

[Three days later, Chuikov was urgently airdropped and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 62nd Army.]

[Chuikov was a famous Soviet general who participated in the Soviet-Russian Civil War and was awarded two Orders of the Red Banner.]

[In 1940, he was sent to China as a military adviser.]

[On September 14, Chuikov arrived at the Stalingrad front.]

【At the same time, the German army launched a new round of fierce attacks. 】

【They targeted the weak points in the Soviet defenses.】

[Because the 112th Infantry Division responsible for defending this place originally had soldiers.]

【Now there are only fifty people left. 】

[Weapons and ammunition are also exhausted. ]

[This offensive was successful for the Germans. They broke through the key high ground of Mamayev Kurgan and approached the Volga River.]

[The German army attempted to seize the most important central crossing on the Volga River.]

If they capture the central crossing, Stalingrad will lose most of its supplies.

[The city will fall! ]

[When Chuikov and his troops arrived, they could see that the Germans had already reached the banks of the Volga River and were concentrating their efforts on attacking the crossing.]

[In order to protect the ferry, Chuikov sent out two reinforcements consisting of the few tanks and some staff officers he had.]

【And he said it with absolute certainty. 】

[Stalingrad is the final battlefield, we will never retreat across the Volga River! ]

[This was almost the most difficult time for Chuikov.]

【All his positions were within the range of the enemy's machine guns.】

【A division has only more than a hundred people.】

[The tank battalion did not have a single tank, and even the middle and senior officers had to pick up submachine guns themselves.]

……

When the sky curtain tells the story here.

In addition to some battlefield scenes, the Soviet army's losses are also given in a very vivid and vivid manner.

There were many models of Soviet soldiers on the sky curtain.

These 3D models were densely packed at first, but in the next picture, the soldier model that originally covered the entire screen was instantly reduced to only a small group.

From the sea of ​​soldiers that covered the entire sky.

To the last few dozen remaining soldiers.

It vividly reflects the cruelty and casualty rate of this war.

This also completely shocked the ancient people.

Ying Zheng: "Two thousand five hundred people were reduced to only fifty, and the death rate was over ninety-eight percent?"

"And yet, they're still holding their ground!"

"I knew the will of these Soviet soldiers was strong, but I didn't expect it to be this strong!"

"What on earth supports them in fighting?"

Huo Qubing: "It's incredible. This 112th Infantry Division defended the position until the last fifty men."

“It’s an amazing unit.”

"Although the Germans have reached the river."

"It's very possible that this battle will be ended."

"But we must also pay tribute to the Soviet defenders who resisted tenaciously."

Zhu Di: "Terrible fighting spirit!"

"The general army loses more than 20% to 30% of its troops, and even if they are crippled, they can't continue to fight."

"And this Soviet army suffered more than 90% losses!"

"Are they the Soviet Union's most elite trump cards?"

Chongzhen: "I must pay tribute to the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad!"

"They are indeed brave warriors."

"It's a pity that our Ming Dynasty is still in great need of such powerful warriors and resolute generals."

"If I were given a general as good as Zhukov, and these Soviet soldiers of later generations."

"Then I can rest assured."

Canopy.

【Cuikov's tough stance and timely dispatch.】

[So that the remaining defenders in the city are no longer afraid. ]

【On the contrary, I am more understanding and supportive. 】

[Only when the soldiers have a unified mind can they better exert their combat effectiveness. ]

[The city's defense battle continues with difficulty.]

[The German army had already occupied the southern part of Stalingrad at this time.]

[And surrounded the two Soviet army groups in the city. ]

【But then, it was difficult for them to move forward. 】

[Even the capture of a barn was considered a major victory by the Germans.]

[For this purpose, Paulus also specially designed an armband with a barn pattern. ]

【Used to commemorate victory in a war. 】

[The Soviet Union did not sit idly by.]

【The counterattack is ongoing all the time.】

[In the middle of the night, a Soviet infantry division came to support, boarded the ferry, and crossed the river under the cover of darkness.]

[Chuikov ordered them to prepare for street fighting immediately.]

[And they are specially equipped with submachine guns, light machine guns and anti-tank rifles suitable for street fighting. ]

[The Soviet army was discovered by the German army while crossing the river at night, and the searchlights were shining on the river. ]

[The Germans took advantage of the Soviets crossing the river and began to launch fierce sniping attacks, causing many ships to sink.] [The soldiers drowned.]

[The few soldiers who reached the shore immediately joined the battle! ]

[The German army on the river bank closely observed the Soviet army's movements after landing, and sent reinforcements to support them.]

[This small-scale river crossing battle, involving only a few thousand people, quickly turned into a close-quarters melee.]

[The Soviets launched a successful night attack, crossed the river, recaptured the embankment, and rushed to the key stronghold, Mill No. 4.]

[The Soviet troops who crossed the river drove away the German troops there and re-ensured the safety of the Volga River crossing.]

When the sky screen plays to this point,
A shocking scene was also inserted!

Only on the sky.

The river surface at night.

A large number of Soviet soldiers quietly rowed to the other side in small boats.

And on the river bank beyond them was the burning Stalingrad!
How many people are there in this city?

no one knows.

But any Soviet soldier knew that it was a place where one could die.

Look around.

The whole city.

The whole sky is burning!

The flames and thick smoke rising into the sky connected the city and the sky.

The upper half of the entire picture depicts a scene as horrible as hell.

And the Soviet soldiers on the river.

They rowed slowly towards the hellish battlefield across the river.

The bombing began.

The Soviet troops crossing the river suffered countless casualties.

Some Soviet soldiers successfully crossed the river.

Start climbing up the embankment.

But the Germans pressed the detonator.

The next moment, the barn and oil depot by the river exploded instantly!
Countless flames fueled by oil caused a violent explosion, and a huge mushroom cloud appeared!

A large number of soldiers were washed back into the river by the blast.

Many soldiers were blown directly into the sea of ​​fire and were never seen again.

After the explosion.

A flash of fire.

The sky was filled with black smoke.

The German soldiers could not see any Soviet soldiers.

But they dared not neglect it at all.

In the German position, the black muzzles of guns were pointing in the direction of the Soviet army.

Although no one can be seen at the moment, it seems that the shouts of the soldiers can be heard in the hell of fire.

The camera gave a close-up of the German army.

Especially the black muzzle of a machine gun.

And follow the direction of the gun.

A soldier, two soldiers, emerged from under the river bank.

Dozens of soldiers.

Thousands of soldiers!
These soldiers rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, many of them were blown beyond recognition, their bodies covered with inextinguishable oil flames.

They wailed in pain,

But roaring angrily!

He rushed towards the German position with a gun.

I saw countless people rushing out from the flaming hell.

This terrifying scene, like the devil from hell, shocked even the usually brutal and well-trained German army!
They were stunned for a few seconds before opening fire in panic.

However, the Soviet soldiers, already prepared to die, rushed towards the German positions with flames on their bodies, intervening in the battle between the two sides.

It turned into a close combat.

In hand-to-hand combat, how could they possibly be a match for the Soviet soldiers covered in flames?

Soviet soldiers, covered in flames, were seen pouring into the trenches.

The Germans were frightened.

They fired a few shots in panic and retreated one after another.

This was an impregnable German position on the riverbank.

Just like that, it was occupied in an extremely tragic way by a group of Soviet soldiers from hell.

The camera image keeps zooming up.

It can be seen that throughout the battlefield and on the river bank, there are still countless soldiers attacking one after another, attacking without fear.

They braved the sky full of fire.

Facing the German artillery and bullets.

Rushing towards the terrifying oil flames.

And further away in the picture.

More Soviet troops gathered at the ferry.

Heading towards Stalingrad on the other side of the river.

Even if they knew.

In that hell of war, they might only survive for a few minutes.

……

This scene of charging into fire uses movie footage.

Even modern audiences were shocked after watching it, and they all expressed their amazement.

The audience marveled and described what they knew about the brutality of the Battle of Stalingrad.

《Nimma, escaping from a sea of ​​fire is no different from seeing a ghost!》

"If I were a German soldier there, I would be so scared that I would turn around and run away."

《Anti-German drama! No one can withstand the damage of fire! 》

Aaron:?

"This is an adaptation of a true story. The German army set fire to the wheat fields in an attempt to retreat, but the Soviet army rushed out in the sea of ​​fire."

"That's the reality, but the reality is that the German troops at this position just ran away when they saw the Soviets charging under fire, unlike in the movie where they put up a fight."

"I'm going to be burned to death anyway, so I'll kill as many enemies as I can. For the motherland! Hurrah!"

"If I were a German soldier, I would have been scared to death!"

"It goes without saying that the German army was really scared."

"German Army: Is this a human being?"

《We are from hell! I came back from hell to drag you down with me!》

"The full-blooded Maozi is a noob, the half-blooded Maozi is in full condition!"

"There was a battle in which the Russian army encountered a gas attack from the German army. The troops did not have gas masks, and the soldiers charged at the German army with guns while vomiting blood from the poison. The German army was winning victory after victory, but when they saw these soldiers charging in the gas, they thought they had encountered a legion of the living dead and were scared away."

"On average, an ordinary soldier can only survive for 9 minutes. If he survives a morning, he will be a platoon leader. If he survives for 3 days, he will be a regiment commander."

"A battle to defend by the centimeters."

"More than 1000 people went to attack Mamayev Kurgan in the morning, but only a few dozen were left at noon."

"No soldier can fight the whole battle alive."

"Sir! We have captured the kitchen, but the living room is still in the hands of the enemy."

"Germany is determined to attack, the Soviet Union is determined to defend, and the two sides can only fight to the death."

"I'm afraid even the Soviet Union itself doesn't know how many people died in the city, and there's no way to count them!"

"A flour mill requested support, and the Russians sent a division over, but soon the entire division lost contact. Another wave of troops was sent to see what was going on, and in the end the support troops only brought back a seriously injured brigade commander. He said that within two days of arriving, the entire division, including the division commander, was wiped out. There were too many casualties, so the number of casualties could not be counted."

"Many troops are like the 112th Division, where thousands of men were reduced to only one platoon."

"The number of casualties in the Soviet 62nd Army even exceeded its staffing numbers."
