USSR 1941

For mine traps, all the Germans can do is clear them.

Although this is a bit troublesome, because the Soviet army mostly used simple wooden shell mines, metal detectors are useless to them, but it is not impossible to rule it out.

The easiest way is to use a grenade to blow up, to blow up the table, to blow up the ground, and if you see anything, just blow it up with a grenade first and then it will be basically safe.

At the same time, the Germans tried their best to attack the upper floors along the corridor.

What the Germans didn't expect was that the attack was much easier than they had imagined, and they took down three floors in a short while, and these floors were all mine-free.

"They only had time to lay mines on the first floor!" Major General Andreas said, "speed up the attack and clear them all!"

"Yes, General!" Captain Detrich, who was leading the troops to attack the building, replied, turned around and yelled at his subordinates.

It is not easy to attack along the corridor. The main reason is that the Soviet army on the corridor is condescending and occupies a geographical advantage, and the corridor is narrow and cannot deploy troops. The Soviet army only needs a few submachine guns on both sides of the corridor to block it with firepower. It can also drop a few grenades from time to time to cause a lot of trouble for the German army.

But what surprised Captain Detrich was that although it was difficult, the attack went very smoothly. After a while, he took down two more floors, that is, pushed the opponent to the top.

Major General Andreas couldn't hold back at this moment.

This is not only because the fifth building is progressing smoothly, so Major General Andreas thinks that there is a war that can go down, but also because the battle on Mamayev Post needs ammunition... All the ammunition that should have been sent to Mamayev Post fell to the At the same time, the supply line leading to Mamayev Post was blocked again.

The supply line for the German army to attack Mamayev Gang was the road between the hospital and the school, which was also a channel that the German army forcibly carved out in the Soviet defense line.

Now that hospitals and schools are occupied, supply lines and even the escape routes of the attacking troops are blocked, let alone getting supplies up.

In desperation, Major General Andreas ordered the attack on other buildings to start immediately.

As a result, tanks and assault guns rushed up one after another, and at least one regiment of German troops followed the tanks and assault guns to attack the two wings centered on Building 5. At the same time, the "Stuka" bombers also flew over the sky to attack the roof. suppress.

The battle immediately became fierce, and there were close combat and fierce competition between the enemy and us everywhere.

But these are superficial appearances. In fact, the Soviet army has always had control over the building.

Seeing that it was almost time, Shulka nodded to Andrianka.

Andrianka immediately conveyed the order over the phone: "Counterattack!"

Explosions soon rang out, accompanied by the screams of German soldiers.

Since the battle has been fought, most of the Soviet troops in various buildings have been "forced" to high floors.

The Germans thought it was a victory.

They didn't realize that the upper floors have an advantage over the lower floors, that is, they can throw grenades into the lower floors from the corridor from top to bottom...Of course, it is also very dangerous if the soldiers lean out to throw grenades, Shu Erka won't let them do that either.

They have a simple and practical tactic, the rope.

To put it simply, it is to tie a grenade to one end of the rope and hold the other end in your hand. After pulling the string, release it from the window or corridor...the grenade with green smoke will be hung in the window or corridor on the next floor There was a "swish" of green smoke in the air.

Then it exploded with a "boom", and the shrapnel flew around condescendingly, causing the German army to cry and howl.

Of course, this tactic is much more than hand grenades.

In fact, in order to achieve better results, Soviet soldiers used more cluster grenades and explosive packs.

Valery likes to tie down the anti-personnel landmines captured from the German army and hand grenades, so that when they explode, the steel balls in the anti-personnel mines will fly around. The problem is that doing so is cumbersome and risky.

But Valerie doesn't mind, because he likes to hear the screams of the enemy under the steel ball.

Shulka later told it that there was no need to do so.

"Why do you need anti-personnel mines?" Shulka asked.

"Because there are steel balls in the mine!" Valery replied: "They are excellent shrapnel, which are much more effective than grenades, aren't they?"

This is true, especially the wooden handle grenade of the Soviet Army is very rough, sometimes it is only divided into two parts when it explodes... It should be that the shell is broken as much as possible, because it mainly relies on shrapnel to hurt people. Two halves means there are only two pieces of shrapnel.

Therefore, in extreme cases, sometimes the grenade is thrown not far from the target's feet, but it only injures the enemy and can even continue to fight.

It is different if it is a steel ball, as Valery said, it has its own shrapnel.

"Yes, because the mine has steel balls!" Shulka replied, and then fell silent.

Valery didn't understand what Shulka meant, and Andrianka next to him reminded: "Comrade Valery, if you need steel balls, isn't there enough for you in the metallurgical plant?"

Valery couldn't help but "oh", nodded excitedly and said, "I know what to do! My God, I'm such a fool!"

Valery is indeed like a fool, he only needs to mix steel balls with explosives, instead of taking the risk of refitting with less safe mines.

As a result, a new kind of earth-made equipment soon appeared in the 82nd Infantry Regiment, the steel ball explosive kit...

Steel ball explosive packs are very simple to make, just pack small steel balls with explosives.

Its disadvantage is that it is too heavy and difficult to throw.

However, this shortcoming does not have much impact on the offensive and defensive warfare of the building. Soviet soldiers on the upper floors of the building do not need to throw them too far. As before, hoisting it into the lower air with a rope also works well.

As for the German troops on the lower floors, they were actually attacked from two sides: Soviet soldiers kept attacking down the corridor, with submachine guns and grenades, and several hanging explosives suddenly appeared in the air in the rear corridor from time to time. ... and the length of the fuze of these explosive packages is still calculated, the German army has no time to evade.

Then there was only a "boom", and the German army fell down.

This made it very easy for the Soviet army to fight from top to bottom, to be precise, it was effortless, but for the German army, it can be described as "massacre"... The floor occupied by the German army with great effort , I didn't expect it to become their burial place in a short time.
