USSR 1941

Therefore, the German army can be said to know nothing about the reverse slope position of the Soviet army.

On the contrary, the Soviet army knew the frontal slope of the German army very clearly... Mamayev Hill was originally stationed by the Soviet army, and the Soviet army had just withdrawn from the frontal slope, and even the Soviet army still had Mamayev Hill Contour topographic map.

Artillery can calculate the height, distance, etc. based on this topographic map, and then accurately hit the mortar shells to the corresponding position.

Of course, the Soviet army actually lacked artillery that could count these, especially those equipped with shovel mortars... They are not actually artillery, but part-time infantry artillery.

This led to this advantage not being well utilized, otherwise the Soviet army would be able to blow up the German army on the other side with only mortars.

"Can we go around?" Lieutenant Colonel Ball asked.

Lieutenant Colonel Edmund shook his head: "The two wings are canyons and gullies, and the difficulty of going around it is no less difficult than capturing it!"

So, Lieutenant Colonel Bauer could do nothing.

After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Edmond said, "Remember how we defeated them in the cemetery?"

"You mean . . . by soldiers?"

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund nodded, "These Russians are very smart. They force us to fight infantry against infantry all the time! The hospital is like this, the cemetery is like this, and Mamayev Hill is still like this! "

Lieutenant Colonel Edmund was right.

Although the hospital is not obvious, the ruins, barbed wire, landmines, etc. make the tanks everywhere, and the fighter planes and artillery can't attack the targets hiding in the buildings and basements, which reduces the role of modern equipment in series.

This is exactly Shulka's strategy: forcing enemy infantry against infantry.

All tactics actually revolve around this.

The reason is simple. The German army has an advantage in modern equipment, and it can even be said to be an absolute advantage.

Perhaps, the Soviet army will be better than the German army in terms of tanks.

However, due to the lack of air supremacy and the lack of communication equipment and multi-arms coordinated training, there is no doubt that the Soviet army will lose in the war with the modern equipment of the two armies.

This is also one of the reasons why the Soviet army collapsed thousands of miles in the early days of the Soviet-German War.

Even the victory in the defense of Moscow was partly due to the cold snap that prevented German planes from taking off normally, tanks from starting normally, and so on.

Therefore, as long as the German army can be forced to abandon modern equipment and fight infantry against infantry... this is a victory in the first place.

Although the quality of German infantry is much better than that of Soviet infantry.

If this goes on for a long time, the disadvantages of the insufficient German army will be exposed.

But Lieutenant Colonel Edmund didn't know this.

Or he knew this but was unwilling to admit it, and he had no other choice, because Mamayev Post was the key to the quick capture of Stalingrad.

So the next moment, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund organized an infantry battalion to attack Mamayev Post under the cover of mortar troops.

"Even if we can only attack with infantry!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund said, "I believe we can also defeat these barbarians!"

Even Lieutenant Colonel Edmund had a plan to mix artillery observers with the infantry, some of them dragging telephone wires into battle.

"The radio can easily reveal your identities!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund said: "It will make you a target for enemy snipers. Compared with it, the telephone is more stealthy! You don't need to fight, all you have to do is lie down." Among the dead bodies, and then directing the artillery bombardment by telephone, understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

The plan worked to a degree.

The German army rushed up in batches, and then left piles of corpses on the ridge line. The entire hilltop position was almost filled with corpses...

Facts have proved that good quality is not always useful on the battlefield.

If the quality is good, it can only be said that it will be useful under the same weather and geographical conditions.

But in the case of disparity in geographical advantages, there is simply no room for military quality to be used.

Just like now, the German army must rush through the empty hilltop position, which is like an insurmountable chasm.

The first thing they have to endure is a round of grenade and mortar bombing. After passing through this barrier, they stand on a high place and expose themselves to the enemy's guns...

The machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns of the Soviet army slammed and knocked down the enemies who emerged from the ridge line one by one. The German army fell in a pool of blood without even seeing the enemy.

Finally, with the help of the cover of smoke bombs, he successfully advanced a certain distance, but found that there were still barbed wire and landmines blocking him.

At this time, the artillery observers of the German army played a role. They hid in the dead bodies to observe, and then coordinated with the artillery through the phone to guide the artillery to accurately hit the Soviet positions one after another.

"What's the matter?" Major Mikhailevich cried. "They seem to be able to see us!"

"It's artillery observers!" said Shulka. "They must be hiding somewhere in the position!"

"Where's the sniper company?" Major Mikhailvich said. "What are they doing? Find those people and kill them!"

"We have already done this!" Koroteyev, the commander of the sniper company, replied: "But we can't guarantee to find everyone!"

It is very difficult to find a few living people among the dead bodies, especially under the cover of smoke and dust on the battlefield, and it also takes time.

"Why don't we launch a counteroffensive?" Shulka said.

"Counterattack?" Mikhailvich looked at Shulka puzzled, "You mean to occupy the positive slope?"

"No, of course not!" Shulka replied, "Put the enemy back and we'll come back!"

Mikhailvich understood at once what Shulka meant.

Then Mikhailvich passed on the order... It took even fifteen minutes.

The reason why it took so long was because every soldier had to be told to only rush to the top of the mountain, otherwise with the coordination of the Soviet army, it would be easy to overshoot and be unable to hold back.

When he was ready, Mikhailvich waved his pistol and shouted: "Comrades, go forward and drive the invaders down the mountain!"

"Come on!"

The Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trenches one by one and charged towards the hilltop position.

At the same time, the mortar troops fired at the front slope of the German army without moving, that is to say, they exploded a barrage on the front slope and separated them into two pieces, unable to reinforce each other.

Then there is no doubt that a charge will occupy it.

But that's not the purpose.

After taking the hilltop position... the German artillery scouts were quickly exposed, because they all dragged a telephone line behind them.

As long as the Soviet army followed the vine, it was easy to pull the artillery scouts out of the pile of dead bodies.

Of course, the phone line is also cut.
