USSR 1941

I go……

Shulka stared blankly at the second lieutenant in front of him, who turned out to be Vasily, the sniper Vasily who became famous in the Battle of Stalingrad.

"What's the matter, Captain?" Vasily asked seeing that Shulka's expression was a little off.

"Oh, nothing!" Shulka replied: "You are Vasily?"

"Of course!" Vasily asked suspiciously, "Do we know each other?"

"Oh, no, I just... heard about you!" Shulka was a little uneasy. After all, this guy is almost a deified hero in modern times.

"Have heard of me? It's impossible!" Vasily laughed: "You must have remembered it wrong, or someone else has the same name as me!"

"Perhaps!" Shulka suddenly realized that Vasily had just joined the battle and hadn't become famous yet, so of course Shulka couldn't have heard of him.

"May I know your name, Captain?" Vasily asked, "So I'll know whose hands I've lost!"

"Don't take it to heart!" Shulka said. "This is not a fair match!"

Shulka is not self-effacing, because this is a hand-to-hand fight with a sniper. If it starts from a long distance, Shulka is not necessarily Vasily's opponent.

"No, Captain!" Vasily said: "Any duel on the battlefield is fair! So I can only be thankful that you are not an enemy!"

Shulka nodded, the fact is true, the battlefield is like this, if you lose, you lose, if you win, you win, there is no if and there is no "unfairness", even it will not have another chance.

"My name is Shulka!"

Vasily's eyes lit up instantly, and it was difficult to speak: "You are... Comrade Shulka? 'Breakthrough hero'?"

"Yes!" Shulka replied.

Before they could continue talking, there was the roar of shells in the sky... The German army already knew that Mamayev Gang had fallen.

Edmund had indeed known about the fall of Mamayev, although no one had told them.

At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund was still commanding the troops to storm the cemetery with Lieutenant Colonel Ball.

In order to speed up Lieutenant Colonel Edmond also changed tactics.

They assaulted from the road with a couple of assault guns... Assault guns really couldn't provide cover for the Germans in this situation, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund certainly knew that.

But he did it anyway.

He did this not to provide cover, but to trick the Soviet bazooka shooter out of the coffin.

As the saying goes, "the height of the devil is one foot, and the height is ten feet higher." No tactic will be perfect. As long as you put in a little thought, you can find a corresponding way to deal with it.

Edmund found this tactic.

In fact, it was Lieutenant Colonel Bauer's suggestion.

"If we're sure the enemy bazooka shooters are in coffins!" said Lieutenant Colonel Ball, "then why don't we find them and kill them?"

"The problem is how do we find them!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund raised his head towards the cemetery: "Look at them, there are countless graves, we don't even know where they are hidden, unless we can dig them up each tomb and open the coffin inside!"

"We don't need to do this, Lieutenant Colonel Edmond!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer replied with certainty.

Lieutenant Colonel Bauer was right, he thought of a simple and practical solution.

"If the enemy is hiding in the shadows, why don't we let ourselves hide in the shadows?" Lt. Col. Ball said. "Then, their targets are tanks, and our targets are them!"

This is also the so-called "mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind".

Lieutenant Colonel Edmund then handed this over to Lieutenant Colonel Ball, who himself concentrated on directing the attack on the cemetery.

Lieutenant Colonel Ball did not disappoint Lieutenant Colonel Edmond.

The plan is actually very simple. Lieutenant Colonel Bauer first deployed a company on both sides of the road... In fact, there is no need for so many people, but the strength of the German army is not a problem, at least not in the direction of the cemetery. They are all blocked You can't pass here, so invest as much as you can.

The troops of these two companies were scattered and hidden in the cemetery, digging individual soldiers for cover, camouflage, etc.

Then, several assault guns "rumbled" onto the road, and they even fired into the area controlled by the Soviet army, pretending to provide fire cover.

The Soviet commander who commanded the battle in the cemetery was Valery, and he was fooled by his inexperience... Valery couldn't even tell the difference between a tank and an assault gun.

So, Valery immediately ordered the bazooka shooter to attack.

Not surprisingly, as soon as the Soviet bazooka shooter got out of the coffin, he was immediately discovered by the German infantry hiding outside.

Needless to say, a dozen bazooka shooters fell in a pool of blood. The Germans even captured several complete bazookas and handed them over to Lieutenant Colonel Bauer.

"Unbelievable!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer sighed while weighing the rocket launcher: "It is such a thing that can destroy our tanks!"

"Now is not the time to lament this, Lieutenant Colonel!" Edmund reminded on the other side: "I will send it up to the scientists for research. The focus now is the cemetery, the cemetery!"

"No, Lieutenant Colonel Edmond!" Lieutenant Colonel Ball replied, "I believe it is not the point!"

"What?" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund didn't understand what Lieutenant Colonel Bauer meant.

"The enemy's defense is very weak!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer put the bazooka aside casually and said, "This is not normal. You must know that he is a 'breakout hero'. Do you believe that he will be defeated so easily by us?"

"you mean……"

"I believe that their main force has turned to the direction of Mamayev Hill!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer said: "The people they stay here are just delaying time!"

Lieutenant Colonel Edmund couldn't help being taken aback: "I must warn Mamayev Gang immediately!"

Lieutenant Colonel Bauer shook his head and said, "It's too late, Lieutenant Colonel!"

Sure enough, it was too late, because Lieutenant Colonel Edmund had lost contact with Mamayev Gang.

Then, the Soviet army stationed in the cemetery disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of mines and barbed wire... The goal of the Soviet army is Mamayev Hill, if Mamayev Hill has been captured Then the cemetery loses its meaning.

Edmond could only report the situation to his superiors.

Major General Andreas seemed to know that this would be the result... As time passed, the possibility of holding Mamayev Post was also decreasing by the minute.

"I will let the artillery support you!" Major General Andreas said: "Retake Mamayev Hill at all costs!"

"Yes, General!"
