On February 8, 1943, the Soviet Third Army, led by the 190th Infantry Division, launched an offensive against Elklin. The prelude to the Armageddon at Stalingrad has finally begun!

The decisive battle of Stalingrad, also known as the Battle of the Caucasus, was a decisive battle that decided the fate of the Soviet Union and Germany, and whoever won the victory would completely change the trend of the battlefield.

Guided by misinformation, Lieutenant General Lindeloff made a misjudgment, and he firmly believed that the entire German army in Elkling was in a state of confusion, and this was the perfect time for the Third Army.

They need a good victory, they need to capture Elklin to lay the best foundation for the whole Armageddon......

The shells whistled, each cannon let out a sharp cry, and the explosion of "boom" drowned out everything on the battlefield, and the deafening sound was as if Thor was swinging a sledgehammer and slamming the ground.

Terrible battlefields, terrible deaths......

Tasotsky used all the artillery at his disposal to bombard the German position non-stop, while on the Elkelling side, the sound of artillery returning fire was very scarce, which also gave Tasotsky the illusion for a time:

Is it true, as "Major Vedros" said, that the Germans had a big problem in Elklin?

If this is the case, then victory is not necessarily illusory......

While the war was in full swing, one man was watching all this with a cold eye - the Skeleton Baron! Although he himself is also facing great dangers, this is just a routine for Wang Weiyi.

Of course. If the information does reach Tasotsky, then maybe he will have to think of a good solution......

When the assault on Elkelin began, an hour after the start of the assault, a sedan drove into the barracks.

Wang Weiyi lit a cigarette. stared coldly at the car, and unconsciously touched the gun on his waist with his other hand...... When the people in the car get off, they will make a choice:

Kidnap Tasotsky directly!

At least, I still have some advantages now......

The car stopped, and when the people inside got down, Wang Weiyi almost thought that his eyes were spent. Who did he see?

- Elena!

Hell, the sedan got off. It's actually Elina in a Soviet uniform!

Elena also looked at her coldly, but Wang Weiyi saw a smile in her eyes......

"What's going on. Little Spirit? Wang Weiyi's first reaction was that all these things were done by Xiaoling.

Sure enough, Xiao Ling's words verified Wang Weiyi's judgment: "You don't cherish your life, but I don't want to stay in this era forever." I helped you get rid of the Soviets on the way...... Now, you've been given a few more days......"

"Little Spirit. I'm really in love with you. Wang Weiyi took a deep breath of cigarette and said.

"Get out-" The word "roll" came out of Xiao Ling's mouth. Sounds so wonderful......

After waiting there for half an hour, Elina walked out of the headquarters again, she glanced at Wang Weiyi again, and then nodded unnoticedly......

She's — it worked!

"Major Vedros, General Tasotsky, please."

When he heard this voice again, Wang Weiyi's steps became a lot easier. When standing in front of Tasotsky, the Russian general's attitude had changed quite a bit: "Major Vedros, your identity has been confirmed......"

Wang Weiyi glanced at the table in front of him. A copy of your own profile is being placed there, and a photo of yourself. It was also posted on that document.

Wang Weiyi suddenly remembered that maybe this was the only photo he had taken so clearly in this era......

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding I made with you." Having said this, Tasotsky did not have much apology in his words, which, in his opinion, were necessary for the sake of Soviet victory: "The 190th Division is on the offensive, and I am sure that the German resistance will be very stubborn. You see, I put two regiments of infantry in this position, do you think there is something wrong? ”

Once he let go of his wariness of "Major Vedros", Tasotsky, like General Lindeloff, became extremely trusting of Major Vedros, and even had to consult "Major Vedros", who was more familiar with Elklin, about his own defenses.

"Comrade General, I think that another regiment should be placed here...... Wang Weiyi said unceremoniously: "Samilos is the most prominent part of Elklin's entire defensive line, if he can successfully capture here, then the general attack on Elklin will be much easier......"

Tasotsky listened carefully to the explanation of "Major Vedros" and nodded frequently. After a while, he picked up the phone on the table: "Comrade Trovich?" I command your troops to attack Samillos at once. Yes, Samillos, to fight resolutely and bravely...... Yes, long live the Soviets...... It's good, I'll see you again after the victory......"

Wang Weiyi stood there quietly, listening quietly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile......

．．．．．．

One mistake after another by the Russians happened.

After the addition of the Trovic regiment, the Soviet troops of three whole regiments launched a frantic offensive on Samillos. In the same way, the German defense units showed a stubborn fighting spirit.

Cannons are whistling, shells are flying. The ground was full of firelight, the smoke of gunpowder obscured the sky, and the Grim Reaper danced in the air, watching everything on the ground with interest.

These lowly human beings, no matter how hard they try, what they have grown up is only the strength of the underworld......

The more fierce the Germans fought, the more Tasotsky strengthened his resolve - as long as Samillos was taken, the door of Elkling would be opened!

He threw almost unreservedly into the entire reserve. And repeatedly begged General Linderov, and all the reinforcements immediately moved closer to him.

At 2 p.m., Paul Hauser, commander of the German 2nd Panzer Corps, was ordered to rush to Elklin. And at the first time commanded all the German forces in Elklin.

After the arrival of General Paul Hausser, the first thing he asked was "where is the marshal". But when he saw Ludwig's hand pointing at the Soviets, Paul Hauser was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to ask: "What is the marshal going to do there?" ”

"Tourist ......" Ludwig also took a long time to squeeze such a sentence out of his mouth.

"General Ludwig, I'm not in the slightest interested in your humor." Paul Hauser said coldly: "If anything goes wrong with the marshal, you and I will be taken to court-martial." ”

Ludwig was a little embarrassed: "But who will be able to stop the marshal?" ”

Paul Hauser fell silent. Yes, once the Skeleton Baron is ready to do something, who else in the world can stop him?

The only way to help the baron. It's to get rid of these damn Russians here as soon as possible......

Paul Hauser, who was personally on the front line, had to put aside the matter of the Skeleton Baron for the time being, and the most important thing now was how to complete the Baron's overall combat idea as much as possible. These damned Russians are completely annihilated here!

Paul Hauser was a very good German general. He knew exactly how to do it, little by little, and the Russians led him into the trap that had already been set up.

At Samillos, Paul Hausser adopted a plan of gradual build-up. Squadron by squadron to reinforce the troops!

The Russians' offensive was very ferocious, and although the Third Army was mostly composed of new recruits, the power of the crowd tactics was fully exerted here.

On the battlefield, countless Soviet soldiers chanting "Ula" in their mouths, regardless of the extremely ferocious firepower of the German army, poured up layer by layer, layer after stack, like a tide.

There is no doubt that the casualties have been heavy. But that didn't stop Tasotsky's determination to take the place.

And the German army in Samillos looked like it was about to collapse. But the Russians' last blow never reached the target.

However, all the Soviet commanders, including Tasotsky, did not doubt this, and the tenacity of the German army's combat effectiveness was well known to the whole world.

As long as there is the slightest possibility, these Germans will stubbornly hold on......

The offensive became more intense.

Tasotsky believed that one more attack would result in a complete rout of Samilos' German army. The ultimate victory is bound to be in their own hands.

But the third charge was repulsed...... The fourth charge was repulsed...... The fifth charge was repulsed again......

Saminos, who was in danger, still stood tenaciously there, no matter how violent the enemy's attack was, he just stood still.

The last point, why is this last point never able to break through?

"Paul Hausser, a very good general." Just when Tasotsky was helpless about Samilos, Wang Weiyi smiled and said something like this: "He is constantly increasing Samilos's defense, it looks like Saminos is about to break through, but in fact, where is it solid." If the Russians are not able to achieve their objectives today, then their sharpness will be much reduced, and the initiative will be in our hands by this time tomorrow. ”

Wang Weiyi's judgment was correct, and when another attack was repulsed, Tasotsky gave the strongest order: complete the breakthrough at any cost!

He gave the command of the front to his most trusted comrade Colonel Trovich!

Trovic, of course, knew the weight of his responsibility, and he gathered all the officers above the platoon together, and then pointed to the positions of the Germans opposite, and said in the most impassioned voice:

"Comrades, the enemy's positions were there, and for the sake of victory, a large number of excellent soldiers fell on the path of the charge. Now that Comrade Division Commander has made up his mind to make a breakthrough in the corps, the time has come to test us...... For the sake of the Soviets, I ask you, that every commander charge like an ordinary soldier...... For the Soviets - Forward! ”

"For the Soviets - forward!"

The blood of every Russian officer boiled in the language of Comrade Trovich's agitation.

You have to admit that the agitation ability of these commanders in the Soviet army is quite strong.

4 p.m. The most tragic scene on the battlefield appeared:

A large number of Soviet officers appeared at the front, and without exception, they stood at the front of the line. Most of them have already made up their minds:

For the sake of the Soviets - for the sake of one's own faith - fight to the death!

The sound of "Ula" resounded on the battlefield, and the overwhelming Soviet troops launched the most terrible charge.

A glance from Samillos. Crazy Russians can be seen everywhere. Ignoring the heavy fire from the German positions, they once again stepped on the corpses of their comrades and launched a wave of higher and higher charges.

And the most surprising thing is that all the people who rushed to the front of the team were officers!

What's wrong with the Russians? The German officers were amazed.

The snipers in the German army were getting busy, and with little aim, they could easily take out a Russian officer.

Layers of corpses lay on the battlefield, at a glance. It makes you feel like you want to vomit. A large number of Soviet officers fell one after another under the blows of the intensive fire of the Germans.

In fact, this is the most senseless sacrifice...... An officer. It was not used as an ordinary soldier, and if it was not at the most desperate stage, there was no need for the Russians to do so.

But this is how the Soviet army trained:

They always believed that the officers were brave and fearless in their sacrifice. It can thoroughly arouse the patriotic spirit and combat courage of the soldiers.

Casualty? They never thought about it.

As long as you can win. It doesn't matter if everyone dies.

Another row of Russians fell, but before the Germans on the battlefield had time to catch their breath, a new layer of Russians rushed up again.

You can't finish killing, you can't fight endlessly!

The German machine gunners were soft-hitting; The eyes of the German snipers became sore; The grenadiers of the Germans, the grenade-throwing arms were already completely swollen......

These Russians - really crazy!

They began to wonder if the Russians had never known what death was, what pain had never been – and they had even begun to wonder if they had ever known what pain was. The charging Russians were completely soulless, and were only dragged forward by a powerful wizard......

Paul Hauser and Ludwig shook their heads as well.

Such a scene. Since they set foot on the battlefield in Russia, they have seen it countless times, and now it is just another repeat. The only thing that they don't understand is that from the beginning of the "Barbarossa" plan to the present day in 1943, the Russians have never improved their combat methods.

"If this fight continues, even if Samiros is captured by them, what will the Russians gain?" Paul Hausser lowered his binoculars: "Their officers will be killed and wounded by this attack, and without a commander at the grassroots level, this army will be demoralized......"

Ludwig sighed softly: "Poor people are just those who died innocently......"

"Oh?" Paul Hauser glanced at Ludwig curiously: "Will the crazy skeleton division commander also make the same exclamation as a woman?" ”

"No, it's not." Ludwich hurriedly said: "I will not feel any pity for my enemies, I am only sorry for the ordinary soldiers who died without any tactical organization. ”

Paul Hauser smiled.

Yes, the most pitiful people on the battlefield are probably those soldiers who can only unconditionally carry out the orders of their superiors......

Now, it's 5 p.m. In just half an hour of charging, the casualties of Soviet officers had reached an incredible level.

At 5:10, Paul Hauser again sent more troops to Samillos.

The Russians had no idea what was going on in the tunnel, and they stubbornly organized a new attack without interruption after one attack was repulsed.

Trovic's heart was bleeding, even though his countenance still looked so majestic......

Such sacrifices were unacceptable, the blood of Soviet officers was flowing, the lives of the Bolsheviks were flowing. However, apart from adopting such a method, he no longer has the ability to solve problems better.

The Germans were so stubborn that they repelled the enemy's onslaught again and again under the powerful onslaught of the Soviet army.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and Trovic opened his mouth and took a deep breath of air, which was full of the blood of his comrades......

"Comrade Colonel, the phone call of Comrade Division Commander."

"Oh...... Comrade division commander, I'm Trovic...... Yes, the fighting continues, and our casualties are large...... Yes, I need reinforcements...... That's right, even one company can be ...... Yes, I have already sent the officers, and they behaved very bravely...... I don't know if Lu Dao will be able to make a breakthrough today...... Yes, I will do my duty as a Bolshevik...... Long live the Soviets! ”

Putting down the phone, Trovich's face looked so serious.

In any case, I can't wait any longer.

At 5:20, Trovic gathered all the forces he could concentrate and delivered the last and strongest assault on Samilos.

But there is no suspense, under the continuous tactics of the German army and the heavy firepower, this offensive failed again.

The ground was full of corpses, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

The evening breeze whimpered, and it seemed that it was also screaming for this war that changed the curse. (To be continued......)
