Volume 2: My Country Six Hundred and Ninety-Five.  The final battle (medium)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Now, the war has reached its final stage.  !

    The Ernst Combat Group began to commit its final reserves for the decisive battle!

    The smoke of battle has shrouded this place, and the noise of artillery fire tells the Russians-Germany¡¯s final determination:

    For victory - fight!

    For the glory of Germany - fight!

    The planes in the sky and the tanks on the ground represent Germany¡¯s determination - fight, fight, fight!

    No one can stop their majestic momentum, and no one can stop their determination to win.

    If the Russians must choose this method, then give it to them, give it all to them!

    Raging planes, raging tanks, and raging infantry are flooding Stalingrad like a tide. Germany's strongest roar is roaring in this city!

    The troops of the 64th Group Army commanded by Major General Shumilov were the first to feel Germany's determination to win.

    When Ernst.  After Marshal Brahm made his determination to end the Battle of Stalingrad before May 10, the German soldiers had no choice:

    The only thing they can do is to unswervingly fulfill Marshal Ernst¡¯s orders!

    The prospect of war is gradually becoming clearer, and Major General Shumilov is well aware of this. However, he also received fatal orders from Moscow, Marshal Vasilevsky, and even Comrade Stalin himself:

    Don¡¯t take a step back!

    This means that they have only two choices: defend Stalingrad, or all die here!

    It is obviously impossible to achieve the former point based on the current situation.  Then, they actually have only one last option left.

    The flames of war turned Stalingrad into a hell on earth, where everyone's lives were crushed like a meat grinder.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    ??The mood of despair envelopes everyone. Mechanism and numbness are now the only attitudes that every Russian can have.  They have no control over their own destiny, and they don't even know what will happen next second.

    General Shumilov did something. He ordered all soldiers to get as close as possible to the German army and fight as close as possible to weaken the enemy's air force and artillery advantages to the greatest extent.

    Moscow also did not wait passively. Although the ground forces were severely weakened in several major battles and were unable to provide more ground force support to Stalingrad, Moscow still mobilized all the country's air forces and risked their lives.  and the Luftwaffe competed for air supremacy.

    However, at this time, 45 German engineer battalions with special siege training arrived in Stalingrad and were immediately put on the battlefield.

    This is a quite powerful force, which also made the German attack smooth again.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    On April 29, the German army broke into the Baflak Building. The Russians laid mines on the outside and placed a large number of machine guns in the windows, turning the building into a strong fortress.

    The German troops in the assault encountered great obstacles here. They had to send a large number of engineers to clear the surrounding mines, which wasted their advancement time to a large extent.

    Coincidentally, while the German army was preparing to attack the Bavarik Building, Ernst.  Marshal Brahm also arrived here with the headquarters of the 9th Army.

    When Wang Weiyi heard about the situation in the building, he issued a new combat order without any hesitation: "What I want is not how many prisoners to capture, what I want is victory!"

    After Marshal Ernst¡¯s order was issued, everything became simple.

    12 artillery pieces, 21 tanks and self-propelled artillery appeared outside the Bavrak Building. After simple preparations, all the artillery fire poured out towards the building.  The deafening sound of artillery flooded the entire battlefield in an instant.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The only sound ringing in my ears was the roar of artillery fire.  The building collapsed layer by layer under the cover of artillery fire.  The Russians who kept trying to rush out were met with more intense firepower.

    This is a naked massacre and a naked destruction of life.  However, when war breaks out, the most despicable thing on the battlefield is undoubtedly human life.

    The bombardment continued, and pieces of it were destroyed one by one.  The earth was engulfed in flames, and the sky was obscured by gunpowder smoke.

    Under the constant artillery fire, the entire building was almost completely destroyed.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "This is what I want to see" Wang Weiyi looked at everything happening in front of him coldly: "Fighting does not need to be too complicated. What I want is the simplest way.Single means!  "

    This is what Wang Weiyi wants.

    The advancement speed of the German army on the entire battlefield began to become smoother from the original extremely slow.  Even though the Soviet army was still resisting tenaciously and tirelessly, the general direction of the entire battlefield had been determined.

    General Shumilov saw this very clearly.

    Troops one after another were wiped out, troops one after another were completely wiped out, and each position was mercilessly destroyed by the enemy.

    Requesting reinforcements and ammunition.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Continuous requests from frontline troops were sent to General Shumilov, but he could not satisfy anything.

    The entire supply line has been cut off, and all the troops that can be dispatched to the battlefield have appeared on the front line. Now, General Shumilov has nothing in his hands.

    This is probably the saddest thing for a commander.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    He must thank General Chuikov. Even in such a difficult situation for himself, General Shufu still tried his best to send him some reinforcements, although this was a drop in the bucket.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Marshal Vasilevsky is also working hard, constantly trying to restore the connection between the two sides of the Volga River, but this seems difficult to achieve under the strong German blockade.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Every pistol is placed in the hands of General Shumilov. If the war has really reached an irreversible point, then General Shumilov has the last option left.

    The enemy's advance is accelerating, which means that the Soviet army's defeat is getting closer.

    On the night of the 29th, General Shumilov's headquarters was attacked by a German assault force. Fortunately, his guards fought back hard, and the German assault force did not know that they had captured the headquarters of an enemy group army.  , after several unsuccessful attacks, the German commandos voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.

    Although there was a near miss, this is also sending a strong signal to the Russians:

    There is no safe place in Stalingrad anymore.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Not only did Stalingrad show no signs of calm after nightfall, but there was terror everywhere.  The German troops became more aggressive at night, launching attacks everywhere under the cover of tanks and artillery.

    Shumilov insisted that his soldiers are still very brave, but now they have to face the most serious problem:

    They are running out of ammunition!

    The lifeline of Stalingrad was firmly in the hands of the Germans, and the Soviet soldiers defending the city had to consume a large amount of ammunition every minute to stop the German attack.

    As long as there is consumption and no supplies, even the bravest troops will not be able to persist in such a war.

    But neither Shumilov nor Chuikov had a good solution to this serious situation.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    In the battle on the night of the 29th, the Mislov Brigade of the Soviet 64th Group Army was annihilated.

    This is the most distressing thing for Shumilov.  Few people know that Mislov is Shumilov's most beloved brother.  At the beginning of the Battle of Stalingrad, Mislov was placed high expectations by Shumilov. In every most brutal battle, Mislov's brigade was always placed in the most difficult positions.

    He completed his task very well.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    However, in the last battle, he was ultimately unable to avoid the torture of fate.

    "He behaved very bravely" Chief of Staff Shikov told Shumilov: "The enemy used a large number of tanks and artillery to bomb Mislov's position, and the soldiers carried out the final  They resisted heroically, but at 9 p.m. their flanks were penetrated by the enemy, who then completed their encirclement and the entire brigade's ammunition was almost exhausted.

    Each soldier had only two bullets left on average, but even under such circumstances, the comrades still did not give up the fight.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  They killed many enemies but in the end.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    At this point, Hickoff could no longer continue speaking, and his voice became choked.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "They performed very well, very well" Shumilov murmured, but at this time no one could know that he felt like he was being strangled with a knife.

    "Comrade Commander, if there are no reinforcements, all our positions will be lost within three days." Shikov tried to calm down his emotions: "The German advance has become very fierce now. They are attacking from multiple directions.  We launched large-scale raids on various positions because our supplies were insufficient.Sent to the front line at the same time, there were many situations where soldiers fought with the enemy with bare hands on many positions. This was simply a massacre.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    "There are no reinforcements" Shumilov looked so desperate: "I had a phone call with Marshal Vasilevsky, although the Marshal did not directly tell me the truth.

    But from his words, I could hear the tragedy of the current situation.  The marshal had done everything he could, and he was equally powerless.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    Hickoff was silent for a long time: "Then what should we do now?"

    ¡°Be as loyal as a Bolshevik.¡± This is what Shumilov told his men: ¡°Turn this place into our tomb!¡±

    Yes, this place is becoming a Russian graveyard.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The German army has sufficient ammunition, the German army has sophisticated weapons, and the German army has high morale!  Opposite them, the Russians showed that they still maintained morale, but there was nothing left.

    They must risk heavy casualties to retrieve some ammunition from the corpses in the frontline positions, and then return to the battle.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  And every time they do something like this, they always have to make more sacrifices.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Repeated again and again, it reveals the endless sorrow of the Russians.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    On the 30th, many positions of the 64th Group Army fell into the hands of the Germans. Although the street fighting became more and more cruel, the balance of victory was also rapidly tilting towards the Germans.

    Not only the 64th Group Army, but also the 62nd Group Army commanded by Chuikov faced the same situation.

    Many Soviet troops have been dispersed, and they had to fall into independent operations without any command.

    They have no reinforcements, they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and all their hopes of survival have been completely interrupted.

    Some people surrendered, but more people died on this battlefield.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  ! People watched all this happening numbly, waiting numbly for the arrival of the final judgment!

    In the battle in the sky, the Soviet army is also not going very optimistically. The German Air Force is controlling the blue sky, and the number of Soviet aircraft appearing is becoming less and less.

    By the 30th, presumably after receiving orders from Moscow, the originally small Soviet Red Army almost disappeared in the air.

    This reflects a very scary thing from another side:

    Moscow may abandon Stalingrad!

    ¡°If even one of our own people has given up, then what¡¯s the point of the defenders here continuing to fight?

    ¡°However, this information was strictly concealed from lower-level officers and soldiers.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  So no matter what happened, what awaited those Soviet officers and soldiers was still constant fighting.

    Blood kept washing the earth, and the entire Stalingrad was completely soaked.

    Every Russian who could fight was put on the front line.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  In fact, there is no distinction between the front line and the rear in Stalingrad now.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    A painful battle, a painful torture.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Even a person with the strongest will to fight will probably become frightened when faced with such a desperate situation.

    There was no order to retreat¡ªno!

    When ordinary soldiers see their superiors, the superiors will always tell them optimistically that a large number of reinforcements are about to arrive in Stalingrad, and the final victory will definitely belong to the Soviets.

    And when this officer meets a senior officer, the senior officer will also tell them the same thing.

    But what is the real situation like?

    The Soviet army is about to fail!

    The time has come to test senior generals like Shumilov.  Early in the morning on April 30, 1943, Shumilov issued this order:

    All officers and soldiers of the 64th Group Army, leave your trenches and launch the most heroic charge against German fascism!

    It seems very irrational, but in fact this is Shumilov¡¯s last resort!

    Let¡¯s hang together with the enemy - especially when you are running out of ammunition and food!

    ¡°Perhaps, this is also the only way out for the Russians.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "The Russians are desperate!" After hearing the news of what happened on the battlefield, Wang Weiyi quickly made his own judgment: "Their ammunition has been exhausted, and they must endure our brutal artillery attacks. They launched a charge.  ¡¤It¡¯s not stupid at all!¡±

    "So what should we do now?" Model asked on the side.

    "All attacking German troops, once encountering an enemy charge, will defend on the spot!" Wang WeiYi said coldly: "I believe that under the severe shortage of ammunition, such a charge by the Russians can only be suicide! And it will not last too long!"

    When this order was issued, a very strange scene appeared on the battlefield.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The Russians, who were originally on the defensive side, became the charging side. Once they launched the charge, the German army would quickly become the defensive side.

    This greatly reduced the pressure on the German army.

    Just as Wang Weiyi expected, the Soviet army's charging method was simply committing suicide.

    They were constantly shot by the Germans. Countless soldiers fell on the path of their charge.

    They even lack effective firepower.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The last bullet has been fired from the barrel of the gun, and Bobosha has simply turned into scrap metal. So a group of Russians holding no more bullets have all become living targets for the German army to practice shooting!

    This is a sad war - at least for the Soviet army.

    But you can¡¯t ask for more from them. They have used their lives to explain what loyalty to the country means.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    None of the charge was successful again and again, all of which had no matter for Schllov.

    What else can be done?  What else can be done?

    On the 30th, Shumilov lost most of his troops, and the entire 64th Group Army had basically lost its combat capability.

    That night, Shumilov sent a telegram to Chuikov. In the telegram, he said that the 64th Army had done what they could, but for the entire Army, the battle was probably over so far, and he was completely lost.  gained control of the troops.  Now, he can only wish Chuikov and his 62nd Army better luck.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    After sending this telegram, Shumilov organized the last charge in his life:

    The charge was led by him personally!

    Shumilov¡¯s body was found two days later. If the military uniform on his body had not revealed his identity, no one would have guessed that the owner of the body belonged to a general.

    He lay quietly among the piles of corpses. From now on, he no longer had to think about how to direct the battle. He got the best relief.

    And his 64th Group Army also fell into a situation of complete collapse with the death of Shumilov.

    They performed very bravely in the battle, which even the Germans had to admit.

    But in the end they failed, but to be honest, the responsibility for the failure cannot be shied away from these fearless soldiers.

    Even if they die, they are worthy of their country!
