USSR 1941

Chapter 292 Cleaning the battlefield

In fact, compared to the brutal battle, Shulka thinks that what is more terrifying is the cleaning of the battlefield after the battle.

Cleaning the battlefield is a necessary process, otherwise the corpses will block the passage of the trench, making it impossible for troops to support each other and obtain ammunition, which will cause a lot of trouble before the enemy's next attack.

At this time, you will see corpses in different shapes, look at their appearance, and guess their cause of death naturally.

A soldier was hiding in a trench, but everything else was intact. The sky cover was overturned and he was lying on his back. At first, Shulka thought his other half of his head was buried in the soil, but when he lifted him up, he realized that was not the case. ... This kind of injury should be caused by shrapnel. One-third of the head was neatly cut off, so that the brain circuit was clearly displayed in front of Shulka.

Another soldier sat with his back against the trench wall.

He obviously struggled a lot before he died, which can be seen from the intestines he held in his hand, his own intestines... The shrapnel tore a big hole in his abdomen, and the intestines flowed all over the floor. It was full of blood, obviously trying to stuff the intestines back.

His face was bloodless, his eyes were dull, and his face still twisted and twitched from the excruciating pain.

Shulka and the soldiers fulfilled the soldier's wish. They stuffed his intestines back, and the veteran wrapped his stomach tightly with a white cloth.

Compared with these sacrificed soldiers, those wounded may be much luckier.

They were gathered in the bunkers to await evacuation.

But Shulka believes they don't feel "lucky" at all, as can be seen from their helpless cries:

"Fucking villains, you just leave me here?"

"Where is my foot? Can someone help me find it?"

"Doctor, doctor... I'm dying, I can't stop the bleeding!"

...

Some people even shouted desperately:

"What are you doing? Those officers, took us to the slaughterhouse!"

"Why are they doing this? We shouldn't be here!"

...

Shulka understands this phenomenon. They feel that they may indeed be on the verge of death, so they indulge their thoughts and even hope that someone will make them "shut up" because of the pain.

So did the instructor, so he didn't make much of a move, but huddled with Shulka and smoked.

The sky gradually darkened, the battle finally came to an end, and the soldiers relaxed one by one.

Pukarev walked over to Shulka with his waist down, rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, and reported to Shulka: "There are a lot of casualties, Comrade Company Commander, there are only fifty-two people left in our company! "

"Yeah!" Shulka nodded.

In fact, there are not many people left in the whole battalion, including the original garrison of the 1075 regiment, I am afraid that there are less than 300 people.

"We probably won't make it to tomorrow, can we?" asked the instructor.

Shulka was surprised that the instructor would ask this question, because the instructor usually tells everyone:

"As long as we fight bravely, we will surely defeat the enemy!"

"No difficulty will prevent us from destroying these invaders!"

...

These words are actually idealism,

It completely ignores all objective conditions such as the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves.

But now, the instructor would ask such things that are usually not allowed to be said.

"Maybe!" Shulka tightened his military uniform and replied, "Now, we may only hope for two things!"

"Which two o'clock?"

"It's colder!" Shulka replied: "Or reinforcements!"

The instructor nodded in agreement.

From the bodies of the German soldiers, the instructors knew that they lacked warm clothing. If you opened the uniforms casually, you could see that they were randomly stuffed with hay, newspapers and other things.

Therefore, if the weather is colder, the German army may not be able to hold on or its combat effectiveness will be affected.

The Soviet army is obviously much better in this regard, at least they do not lack clothing to keep out the cold.

As for reinforcements...

The instructor is not optimistic about this.

"We don't have any extra troops!" said the instructor. "Even if we had, it would be a drop in the bucket, or some militia...you know, they won't do much!"

Shulka nodded in agreement.

With the advancement of human beings and the development of weapons, militias without military training are fine for guerrilla warfare. Going to the battlefield is basically adding a series of numbers to the number of casualties, especially between the Soviet Union and Germany. The powerful tank group assaults at every turn. on the battlefield.

"Will they bring in tanks?" the instructor asked.

Shulka shook his head: "It's useless, the Germans have three divisions, and the muddy ground is frozen, which means they can choose any place to attack!"

The instructor exhaled a puff of smoke ring and sighed. He knew that what Shulka said was right. Today the main attack direction of the Germans is here, and tomorrow the main attack direction may be other places, and the Soviet tanks can only operate at night. , unable to maneuver during the day... If you want to use tanks for defense, you can only disperse the defense, but if 30 tanks are divided into a defense line of more than ten kilometers, it is almost negligible.

"Is there no way?" the instructor asked.

Shulka could only respond with a wry smile.

Shulka has also been thinking about this question.

From a strategic point of view, Shulka may have won. He succeeded in making the Soviet army persist until now to make up for the time gap of the last month.

Shulka believed that even if the German army broke through Volokolamsk and marched towards Moscow, it would be impossible to occupy Moscow.

The answer is obvious.

The Soviet army did not put the main force of the air force into the battle to support the front line, which means that the Supreme Command has been preserving its strength in terms of the air force.

Once the German army hits Moscow, the situation will change... Although the performance of the Soviet Air Force fighters is not as good as that of the German army, the quality of the pilots is not as good as that of the German army.

But the point is that the Soviet army has a large number of anti-aircraft balloons in Moscow. These balloons are arranged in rows up and down, left and right, and the steel cables are connected into a spider web shape, and some of them are hung with small bombs.

Coupled with the anti-aircraft firepower, the Soviet army can completely isolate the German fighter planes to a certain extent.

As a result, Soviet fighter planes could attack German armored forces from the air.

Even this can't stop it, and after entering Moscow, there will be difficult street fighting.

What's more, the Far East Army is also on its way...

In other words, the German army's strategic goal of attacking Moscow could not be accomplished at this time, but they didn't know it yet, or Hitler was unwilling to give up and continued to attack with a glimmer of hope.

There was no problem with this, but the problem was that Shulka was on the front line and would be crushed by the tracks of German tanks at any time.
