The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"The grid you are responsible for starts from No. 10 Street!" Major Stagg, a battalion commander of the 60th Motorized Infantry Division who switched defenses with Qinchuan, introduced to Qinchuan: "It's right there... Oh, I'm sorry. You Maybe you don’t recognize it as a street anymore, right where the tank is!”

"I saw it!" Qin Chuan replied.

To be precise, it was not a tank, but the remains of a tank. There was a corpse hanging upside down on the turret. The unlucky guy was obviously shot dead by the Soviets when he was trying to escape.

"The end point is that long building!" Major Stagg pointed to a building on the other side and said, "We call it 'Folder'!"

"A very vivid name!" Qin Chuan said.

"That's all, I wish you good luck!" Major Stagg patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder.

"Wait!" Qin Chuan stopped Major Stagg, who seemed to be in a hurry to leave here: "Major, you haven't told me the enemy's situation yet!"

Major Stagg turned around and shrugged helplessly and replied: "Sorry, Major, no one is sure about their situation. You just need to observe every hole in the wall on the opposite side, including doors, windows and cracks of course. That's where the enemy may be." Where to show up!”

"Besides!" After taking a few steps, Major Stagg turned back and added: "I have to remind you, it's almost night now!"

"Thank you, Major Stagg!" Qin Chuan looked helplessly at Major Stagg and his men who were escaping as if they were escaping from hell.

After a while, Eberhard looked at the ruins around him and asked: "Major, what should we do? There is no defense line here at all!"

Eberhard is right. If there is a line of defense here, it is a series of buildings and collapsed ruins piled on the ground, and these are intertwined with the buildings occupied by the Soviet army. You are among me, you are among me, and even behind you There were two other buildings that had just been occupied and had not yet been emptied out. From time to time, there were several machine sounds and the sound of grenades exploding inside.

Qin Chuan stared at the map and checked the surrounding environment, then drew a line on the map and ordered: "Based on this line, pull barbed wire and lay mines to block the position, and at the same time lead people to search every corner. Suspicious locations or buildings are also covered with barbed wire and mines!”

"Major!" Eberhard looked at the line and said, "But this line... we have to abandon three occupied buildings!"

"Do as I say!"

"Yes, Major!" Eberhard turned around and assigned the task.

Eberhard certainly had his reasons for not giving up those three buildings. The Battle of Stalingrad has been advancing at a rate of several meters per day. In other words, those buildings were built with the blood and blood of German soldiers. In exchange for their lives, Qin Chuan gave them up and threw them to the Soviets with a wave of his hand.

Of course, this is not what Qinchuan cares about. A few buildings are nothing in Qinchuan's eyes... There is a saying: "It doesn't matter the gains and losses of a city or a pool." From a historical perspective, the battle of Stalingrad is not It is not a question of how much land and buildings are occupied, but a question of the loss of troops and materials.

Therefore, it is meaningless to occupy a few buildings, although these were obtained by German soldiers with their blood and lives.

Barbed wire and mines were quickly put up, but it was not dark yet, so the soldiers planned to stay on the front line for a while and leave a few mines to give the Soviet troops who wanted to occupy these buildings at night some "surprises."

At this time, a Soviet Union Wing aircraft suddenly swooped down from the building where Tan Qinchuan and others were sitting, followed by a burst of machine gun sound, and bullets flew through the wooden planks. As soon as they entered the floor, two German soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

Obviously, the Soviets on the opposite side discovered that there were many German troops in the building, so they called in aerial firepower... This did not happen often. As mentioned before, the Soviet army did not have air superiority, and Soviet fighter planes rarely appeared in the sky. .

But just because there are few does not mean there are none. Qin Chuan and others were lucky enough to encounter one as soon as they came up.

The German soldiers on the roof immediately fired at the old fighter plane with machine guns and MP43s. Fortunately, several bullets hit the engine and the wings were torn into pieces. The plane emitted black smoke and began to swing as it tried to escape, and then fell back to the ground.

Originally, Qin Chuan and others thought they would hear an explosion, but all they heard was the sound of a metal collision... The injured Soviet fighter plane actually made a successful emergency landing.

I don’t know if this is the pilot’s luck or misfortune.

Call it lucky. In a place full of ruins and buildings, let alone an emergency landing with injuries, it would be difficult to make a normal landing.

Call it unfortunate, they made an emergency landing in an area controlled by the Germans, and were surrounded by the Germans the moment they made a successful landing.

Out of anger at the sacrifice of his two comrades, Qin Chuan and a platoon of soldiers rushed to the direction of the plane's emergency landing.

When Qin Chuan and others arrived at the emergency landing point, the baker had already led people to surround the pilot.

"Hands up!" the baker shouted in harsh Russian toward the plane lying in front of the ruins: "Surrender!"

The baker wanted to say more, but he only knew so much Russian.

"Bang bang!" Several gunshots were heard from the opposite side in reply.

The German soldiers also fired back, then divided into several groups to cover each other and approached the aircraft.

But these were unnecessary, because soon there was a gunshot from behind the plane, and then a body fell down softly, with the shoulders and above exposed outside the wreckage of the plane, and a bloody hole on the temple, which was still leaking out. open to blood

Obviously, he did not want to become a prisoner of the German army.

"There's another one!" Qin Chuan stepped forward with his gun drawn, because he noticed that the plane was a two-seater and obviously had a pilot.

But when Qin Chuan and his men carefully pressed toward the back of the plane with guns raised, they were shocked to find that the other pilot was a girl, wearing the rank of second lieutenant, holding a Tokarev pistol in her hand, her face was pale and her breathing was rapid. His eyes revealed deep despair and fear.

"Put down the gun!" Qin Chuan shouted: "We won't embarrass you!"

The ensign girl didn't understand Qin Chuan's words, or she didn't hear them at all, or she understood what Qin Chuan meant but refused to react.

Then, the second lieutenant girl obviously made up her mind, suddenly raised the pistol, pointed it at her head and pulled the trigger...

"Bang!" With a sound, another corpse appeared in front of Qin Chuan and others.

The baker stood up, shook his head in confusion, and slowly walked over to examine the two corpses.

They didn't understand how the Soviets could send women to war and subject them to such suffering.
