Chapter 754 Ordinary War Clan

Before the start of previous attacks, Malashenko could always enjoy the fire support covered by his own 152-caliber artillery barrage.

Whenever the Soviet field heavy artillery clusters blew up the Germans' defense line that was as fragile as window paper with the force of a mountain and a tsunami, Malashenko swore that watching this overwhelming artillery fire coverage, he would definitely do it himself. One of the most wonderful scenes since arriving in this world.

But this time, Malashenko is destined to be disappointed.

The Soviet army, which was attacking from low to high and upward, did not have any large-caliber howitzers at hand. To be precise, it did not even have a suitable location to set up an artillery position.

Mamayev Hill, the only presumed artillery position in Stalingrad, is now owned by the Germans. Malashenko does not know how many heavy artillery pieces the Germans have placed on the top of the mountain, but they are certainly not used for support. own share.

The attack site was chosen on a gentle slope facing the Mamayev Hill. Malashenko was told that six large-scale group charges had been launched against the German army from this starting position, but without exception, they all failed. All ended in failure.

The sun had already revealed its golden light from the distant horizon, and the sky shrouded in darkness began to gradually turn into a hazy fish-belly white color. The light and visibility were enough for Malashenko to clearly see the attack he was about to embark on. What does the road look like?

"I thought I had imagined the scene at Mamayev Hills well enough, Malashenko, but now it seems it was just wishful thinking on my part."

Political Commissar Petrov, who was also standing at the foot of the hill with a telescope in hand, could not help but lament. Beside him, Malashenko, who was just holding a telescope in his hand and watching all this silently, felt the same in his heart.

"Before seeing all this with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that a small hillside would be filled with the corpses of almost two divisions. Even if you tell me, I can't imagine what this scene is like."

Malashenko, who has long been accustomed to cruel battlefields, thought he was used to strong winds and waves.

But when the corpses of nearly two full-strength infantry divisions were piled directly on the hillside in front of them, starting from the foot of the mountain and extending all the way to the top of the mountain that was firmly controlled by the German army, this road was filled with the efforts of Red Army soldiers and commanders. The bloody road paved with corpses finally gave Malashenko an extremely strong shock.

"Damn it, what happened here? Why did the hill that a Guards Infantry Division could take down in the historical trend turn out to be like this now? Don't tell me that this is also caused by my butterfly effect. Yes, I don’t believe it!”

Malashenko still can’t figure out why the battle to recapture the Mamayev Hills turned into such a mess.

Mamayev Heights, which originally took only one day to be successfully recaptured by the Soviet army, has been fighting for a week and there is no sign of the situation turning around.

Even the main German siege forces that would have penetrated deep into the city changed their tactics and began to surround the Mamayev Hill in a crescent shape towards the outskirts of Mamayev Hill, where the battle had been protracted for a long time. They wanted to use Mamayev The deadly bait of the hill bloomed in the center, blocking the Soviet 62nd Army, which was preparing to recapture the Mamayev Hill, under the hill and eating them all in one go.

Although the German army's tactical arrangement is correct, if Mamayev Heights can be defended and surrounded from the outside, it can indeed eat up the main force of the Soviet army in one go, and engage in the German army's favorite main force versus main force annihilation battle. .

At the same time, it can also relieve the risk of Mamayev Heights being lost due to continuous fierce attacks and consolidate the security of this strategic location. It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

But what Malashenko cares about is the above-mentioned nonsense that never happened in the original history. Why are they happening in this timeline? The current battle of Stalingrad has changed. It is completely different from Malashenko's existing knowledge, and it is even impossible to use the predictions from the future to determine what will happen next.

"Why did it become like this today? Is it because I defended the train station? Could it be that I defended the train station and made the German troops on Mamayev Heights stronger? Gan , this reason is so fucking ridiculous, even a fool would not believe it!”

Malashenko is not an inquiring person who likes to get to the bottom of things, nor does he want to create extra trouble for his life and battles. He just wants to be able to fight every battle step by step and according to his prediction of the future. The direction of the battle and the weaknesses and mistakes of the German army are used to make corresponding tactics to win and survive.

Malashenko will not hesitate when it is time to charge, because the goddess of luck never favors cowards but only the brave.

When it's time to retreat, Malashenko is also quite straightforward. He will choose to retreat without being held accountable by his superiors and while preserving his strength as much as possible. He has succeeded many times after repeated trials.

"I just want to fight every battle step by step, but why do these Germans always have to fight with me? Are they causing me so much insomnia at night that I can't even sleep well?"

Malashenko's subconscious whisper attracted the attention of political commissar Petrov beside him, but Petrov, who had not focused his attention at all, only heard the second half of Malashenko's sentence.

"What did you just say? Malashenko."

Compared with Commissar Petrov's question mark on his face and his brows almost knitted together, Malashenko's tone was unusually calm and calm.

"It's nothing, just some of my war outlook on life. These German guys make me unable to sleep well. In the middle of the night, I dream about meetings and quarrels at the army headquarters. When I get up at night, I go to the toilet and think about how to fight after dawn. It’s good to worry about this battle.”

"The bastards that affect the quality of sleep must be eliminated. There is no second possibility. I don't want to cause trouble, I just want to fight every battle calmly. But since these German guys are staying on the top of the mountain and won't leave, then we, the Guards A heavy tank breakthrough group will never lose to them."

It was the first time that Commissar Petrov heard such a reason for wanting to kill all the enemies because his sleep was disrupted. However, when he thought about it carefully, it was just an inconsequential excuse. Those Germans on the top of the mountain had nothing to do with it. All must be eliminated.

As always, he entrusted all matters of the regiment to the political commissar Petrov. Malashenko, who put on his farmer's clothes, was the last to enter his tank.

There was a dull crashing sound when the turret roof was closed, indicating that the battle at Mamayev Heights had officially ushered in the climax of the bloody strangulation.
