Chapter 515 Adapting asures to local conditions
"The overall strategic direction is to exchange space for ti!" Shulka told Akimovich: "When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. Use the ruins to keep a distance of 50 to 100 ters from the enemy!"
"Yes, Comrade Captain!" Because I have observed the actions of Shulka and others just now, I can understand it now.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
As I said before, because the Soviet army does not have air supremacy, there is no doubt that it is weak during the day.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet army could not confront the German army head-on, and the result would inevitably be a disadvantage for the Soviet army.
But at the sa ti, the Soviet army cannot retreat blindly... From west to east, the width of the city of Stalingrad is only five kiloters. If you just retreat blindly, it will only take a few hours to be hit by the Germans to the Volga River.
Therefore, the retreat must be like Shulka and others did, always keep close contact with the German army, and use the cover of the ruined building to lay barbed wire along the way.
Ruins plus barbed wire and soldiers blocking, can slow down the enemy's progress to the slowest.
Even sotis artificially create so favorable situations.
For example, what Shulka is doing now... the middle part deliberately retreats faster.
Where would the attacking German army notice this? Seeing that the Russian army was repelled, they imdiately pursued the victory.
So it didn't take long for the German offensive line to form a protrusion in the middle without knowing it.
At this ti, the Soviet flanks suddenly outflanked the salient, and the Germans suddenly found themselves surrounded and the offensive line was divided into three unconnectable parts.
Major Weber is located in that part of the siege.
He hid in the ruins and panted heavily. The battle between the ruins and building wreckage made him very uncomfortable, and the continuous rapid leaps with the soldiers on the sudden high and low terrain had exhausted his physical strength.
The majors who are commanders are like this, let alone other German soldiers.
"Major!" The adjutant reported to Major Webb: "We are surrounded!"
"I know this, Edward!" Major Weber comforted: "Don't worry, they can't do anything to us!"
Major Weber is really not worried about this, because he thinks that the so-called encirclent of the Russian army does not pose much threat to them.
This is mainly based on Major Weber's confidence in the German army's air supremacy and the quality of the German army... If it is not possible, it can break out of the encirclent by blasting a **** path with artillery.
But Major Weber soon discovered that was not the case.
"Major!" the adjutant reported: "The enemy is too close to us to indicate the position for the artillery!"
"Keep a distance from them!" Major Webb ordered.
"We tried, Major!" said the adjutant, "But they keep keeping a distance from us, they advance when we retreat, and we have no room to retreat!"
"Order the second company to cooperate with us to break through!" Major Webb ordered.
"The Second Company was blocked by enemy fire!" The adjutant replied.
"How did they block it?" Major Weber was a little curious.
"A passage without many ruins!" The adjutant replied: "There is a clear view, and the enemy has deployed a machine gun and a few snipers nearby!"
Major Weber couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
Urban street warfare can be said to have no fixed tactics, because no one knows what the city's buildings will look like after being bombed indiscriminately, or even which buildings will be bombed and which will not.
If there is any tactic, it is to adapt asures to local conditions according to the situation after being bombed, and make full use of every favorable condition by analyzing specific issues.
For example, in this passage that is not buried by ruins, as long as a few limited firepower points are arranged, it can beco a very good line of fire to divide the enemy.
"Let Captain Edman reinforce us imdiately!" Major Webb then ordered.
"No, Major!" The lieutenant replied: "Captain Edman said it would be difficult for them to reinforce this area!"
Captain Edman is the commander of the tank company, and Major Webb hopes to use tanks to tear a hole.
But the facts obviously disappointed him again. It can be said that the tank, which is restrained everywhere, cannot protect itself in this environnt.
If the tanks barely reinforce this area, the more likely result is that they will be attacked all the way or they will be entangled with barbed wire all over the ground. Even if they rush here, they will beco a pile of scrap iron.
At this ti, Major Weber obviously lost his sense of proportion. He almost roared and shouted at the adjutant: "You tell him this is an order, and get closer to this side imdiately! Otherwise, I swear, I will send him to a military court!"
"Yes, Major!"
The adjutant responded, then turned around and ran towards the radio station.
But before he ran a few steps, he heard a "bang" gunshot, and the adjutant scread and fell to the ground with his thighs in his arms.
It was Shulka who shot.
He has been staring at this position for a long ti... A captain frequently goes back and forth between the two places, apparently there are officers with a higher rank waiting for him to report sothing.
Then, when he saw the captain running out again, he fired a round into his thigh.
With a distance of more than one hundred ters, it is not difficult to do this.
Shulka said coldly to Akimovich while pulling the bolt to load the gun: "The important thing is not to kill the enemy. On the battlefield, a wounded enemy is more valuable than a dead one, especially an officer! "
While speaking, two German soldiers rushed out of the bunker and ran to the captain's position.
Obviously, they wanted to go to the rescue.
Shulka quickly pulled the trigger to knock down one of them, then put away the rifle and changed positions.
Sure enough, several mortar shells roared towards the position where Shulka was hiding just now, and one shell almost exploded behind them.
When lying down again, Shulka said: "You have to learn to guess the enemy's psychology... They are not fools. In fact, they are all experienced veterans. If soone cos to rescue, soone must cover them!"
As he said that, Shulka raised his gun, knocked down the German soldiers who were dragging the captain to transfer with a "bang", and then moved another position with Akimovich.
"Unbelievable!" Akimovich looked at Shulka with admiration in his eyes: "Comrade Captain, you seem to be able to do everything...not only is an excellent commander, but also an excellent sniper!"
"There is no conflict between them, Comrade Akimovich!" Shulka poked his head out to look at the battlefield, then imdiately retracted his head, and replied: "In fact, they are the sa in many ways, and they all tried to Put the enemy to death!"
At this mont, there was a gunshot from the opposite side.
"He committed suicide!" Shulka said: "It's a man!"
Shulka knew it without looking, because it was the sound of a pistol.
