Chapter 250 Sir! We have taken over the second floor! Is the Russian so good at art?
Tianmu continued to tell the story.

The picture shows a Soviet political commissar leading the charge with a pistol in hand.

[In order to boost morale, Chuikov also ordered. ]

【All commanders must be present at the front lines. 】

[This resulted in a very high death rate among Soviet commanders.]

【But it also greatly boosted the morale of ordinary soldiers. 】

[At the same time, Cuikov also formed a large number of assault teams. ]

[Equip them with special submachine guns, such as PPSh, to meet the special needs of street fighting.]

【A standard assault team. 】

【It consists of 20 to 30 of the most experienced soldiers.】

[They were all equipped with submachine guns, grenades, bayonets, and sharp bladed shovels.]

[Assisting the assault team in the attack are light anti-tank guns, anti-tank rifle teams, and flamethrower teams.]

[The mission of the assault team is to occupy those key city buildings. ]

[They usually start by using artillery to blow up the building's outer wall.]

【Then throw in a lot of grenades. 】

[As the grenade exploded, soldiers rushed into the building with submachine guns and fired at close range.]

[At the same time, use the flamethrower to set fire to the basements and other rooms that are difficult to enter directly.]

【And use grenades to blow up everything in the room. 】

[Of course, while the flames and grenades were blowing up. ]

[Submachine guns will continue to fire. ]

[For these key buildings, the Soviet army will organize assault teams to launch a powerful offensive. ]

【But the German army will not give up easily. 】

[In these buildings, extremely dangerous close-range street fighting will unfold. ]

[Sometimes, the first floor of a house was occupied by a Soviet assault team, the second floor was still occupied by the German army, and the third floor was occupied by the Soviet army again.]

[Each floor is occupied by different people, and each room needs to be fought over. ]

[This kind of battle where you are in me and I am in you is like a sandwich.]

[It also requires great courage and casualties. ]

[In the fierce street fighting, close combat gradually became the norm. ]

【Cold weapon combat effectiveness.】

[Once again it was put on the table. ]

[But the German soldiers were very afraid of hand-to-hand combat.]

[Because the Soviet army's standard engineer shovel was very sharp and powerful, it frightened the German soldiers.]

When Tianmu told the story here.

The cruelty of street fighting has been thoroughly explained.

Match the screen.

Soldiers rushed into the room under fire and fired at the enemies on the first floor.

Fight to the death with the enemies on the second floor.

At the same time, call for support from friendly forces on the third floor.

Ultra-close-range gun shooting and close combat were unheard of by ancient people.

Once again, I was shocked by the bloody Battle of Stalingrad!
But as a great art country.

They also incorporated artistic elements into the documentaries they shot.

Behind the tense music on the sky curtain.

Suddenly, a melodious and soothing symphony sounded.

A soldier opened a box containing a disc, and music came from that box.

[The soldiers quickly adapted to the environment of the building during the street fighting.]

[Someone even found a phonograph that had not been taken away by its owner.]

[In the intervals between battles, melodious music echoed in the ruins of the city. ]

【And outside the building where the music was playing. 】

[The German army is trying to retake the building at all costs. ]

The language of the camera flew out of the window in the direction of the music, flew to the bullet-riddled walls of the building, flew to the ruins outside the building, and flew behind the broken wall.

German soldiers holding guns, preparing to launch a new round of attack.

It is clearly an extremely tense and cruel scene.

But with the accompaniment of music, people have a dreamlike illusion.

Accompanied by the music.

More real-life footage from World War II is also being played.

Black smoke was emitting from the ruined building.

The elderly woman dragged the suitcase with difficulty under the supervision of German soldiers.

Civilian women were washing clothes beside the puddles created by bombs.

German soldiers, smoking cigarettes in between battles, discussed the latest football match results with each other.

Someone is writing a letter home.

There were also injured German soldiers whose wounds were bandaged under the care of nurses.

Medical soldiers with red cross marks on their shoulders dragged seriously wounded soldiers away from the front line.

And beside them.

A civilian walked slowly through the ruins, carrying his cello with difficulty.

The volume of the music gradually increased.

It's time to reach the tear-jerking climax.

As the music gets louder.

The scene became intense.

The bomber dropped a large number of bombs, completely destroying a building.

Countless artillery pieces fired at the same time, hitting the city and the river banks.

A crying girl appeared on the screen.

An underage soldier appeared, carrying an anti-tank rifle taller than himself.

And the Soviet soldiers who fell on the edge of the position.

at the end of the music.

Countless Soviet recruits also set out on the journey to Stalingrad.

This piece of music is accompanied by clips of brutal war scenes.

It is one of the most iconic clips of the documentary.

The ancients were watching the war story with great interest, but suddenly they noticed that the pace of the documentary had slowed down.

And music that was clearly not suitable for a battlefield started playing.

At first, I felt a little uncomfortable and confused.

But as the picture continues to play.

Ancient people were also attracted by the superb artistic techniques of the bears.

Late Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and felt the music.

His fingers stroked slowly across the guqin, accompanying the music on the sky curtain.

And in the Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan, who had relatively more knowledge about the Slavs.

He also immersed himself in documentary music, which added to his own atmosphere.

Until the music ends.

Kublai Khan stood up with deep emotion and walked slowly.

"According to the information I got during the Mongol invasion of the West, those Slavs are a group of savage and bloodthirsty barbarians!"

"A little better than a primitive tribe, but not much more civilized."

“But now it seems that these Slavs have such strong artistic skills!”

"This level of art is probably no less than that of China!"

"Could it be that these Slavic slaves established a country in later generations?"

“Is it the world’s leading art power?”

“I don’t know about the Slavs in later generations, who established the Soviet Union.”

"And the beautiful country known as the world's most powerful country."

"Which country has a more brilliant culture? A higher level of culture?"

Think of this.

Kublai Khan couldn't help but develop some yearning for the culture and art of later generations.

Want to know more.

Although Kublai Khan was a conqueror, he also had a fondness for art.

So I am silently looking forward to seeing more artistic content from future generations on the sky.

……

Melodious music from the phonograph.

It's just a brief transition.

After the music ended, the sound of gunfire rang out again.

The tense drum beats also appeared rapidly.

The war continues!
The brutal street fighting in Stalingrad continued.

[The new address of the Soviet headquarters in the city.]

[It was chosen on an open space near a large oil storage and transportation station. ]

[After learning the news, the German army quickly launched a fierce artillery attack on the location of the Soviet headquarters.]

[Both the Soviet Union and Germany believed that at this critical time, the important strategic material oil in the oil storage station must have been moved away long ago.]

[The oil storage station must be empty.]

[As a result, after the German artillery bombardment, both the Soviet Union and Germany were shocked. ]

[There is still a lot of oil in the oil storage station! ]

[After being ignited by artillery fire, the burning oil rushed towards the trenches of the Soviet headquarters! ]

[A fierce oil fire dragon rushed towards the Soviet headquarters, but miraculously avoided it.]

[But the entire Soviet headquarters was surrounded and all the telephone lines were burned.]

[The thick smoke produced by burning oil is even more suffocating! ]

[The Soviet commander in the city, Chuikov, was trapped in the sea of ​​fire for three days and three nights.]

[The front commander Yelyomenko outside had no idea of ​​Chuikov's current situation, let alone the current location of the Soviet headquarters.]

[It was a few days later that he received news from Chuikov.]

[“We are trapped in the area where the fire is the most intense. The army headquarters must be moved again.”]

[On October 4, the German army launched another attack.]

[And forced the Soviet positions to move to the Volga River. ]

[The Soviet troops in the city were in the most dangerous situation. They were just a little bit away from being driven into the Volga River.]

[At the critical moment, the Soviet airborne division arrived and stabilized the situation.]

[On October 14, the German army launched an attack on the tractor factory in the city.]

[Although the target was a tractor factory, the German army dispatched three infantry divisions and two armored divisions.]

[Using an unprecedentedly powerful force, they faced a Soviet division defending the area.]

[The Soviet commander defending the tractor factory was named Zholudev.]

[Most of his soldiers had died, and as a commander, he held a submachine gun and fought side by side with the surviving soldiers.]

[His troops must hold this position until reinforcements arrive.]

[The German army launched an attack on the artillery factory next door.]

[The Soviet army used Katyusha rocket launchers to stop the German attack. ]

【But the German army still advanced some distance. 】

[The German army reached the river and cut the 62nd Army into two.]

[The current situation is that the German army has reached the Volga River. ]

[Also, the Soviet 62nd Army was divided and surrounded into two parts. ]

[Almost everyone, including the Soviet army, believed that Stalingrad was about to fall.]

[When the German army was only 300 meters away from the Soviet headquarters.]

[Another reinforcement force finally arrived and immediately crossed the river to join the battle to defend the artillery factory.]

[The arrival of reinforcements crushed the German offensive and defended the important artillery factory. ]

[This news greatly annoyed Hitler and he flew into a rage.]

【But for the forces that resisted the German fascist invasion. 】

【The news of victory is very exciting. 】

[In October 1942, after receiving news of the battle at the artillery factory, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) also issued a special report.]

[“The Soviet army has wiped out a large number of German troops in Stalingrad.”]

[It took the German army 28 days to occupy the whole of Poland, but in Stalingrad, it took the German army 28 days to occupy only a few houses.]

[It took the German army 38 days to occupy the whole of France, but in Stalingrad, it took the German army 38 days to break through only a few streets.]
