Next to the factory building of the Stalingrad tank factory, which had been destroyed by artillery shells, a Soviet soldier leaned against the wall and was loading bullets on the rifle in his hand. A group of Soviet tank production technicians, who were originally just workers, were supplying shells into the tank around a T-34 tank that they had just assembled.

The workshop director who originally organized production has now become a tank commander who may die at any time. The combat mission of this T-34 tank is to help the Soviet soldiers here defend the defensive positions near the factory.

They just repelled a German attack, and now the tired sides were in their respective wounds. It is estimated that only a few hours of rest will be needed. The German and Soviet troops will fight again here, and then use corpses to cover the short distance between the positions between the two sides.

The defensive positions of both sides are very close, and the closest place is even only a few dozen meters long. A slight turbulence may trigger a large-scale gunfight and then spread to the entire area. Then all the troops near both sides will join the battle, and the failed party will give up the territory under his feet and find the next suitable address for the battle again.

As early as 25 days ago, the German army occupied the city center of Stalingrad under the cover of several tanks. Then Qusirel focused the attack on the heavy industrial zone in the north of the city. The German army soon began to attack these factories, while the Soviet army was ordered to defend its position to the death.

On April 29, the German army and the Soviet army began to compete for a defensive position in the city code-named "Mamayev". First, the German army captured the high ground under the cover of a "building demolition device", and then the Soviet army sent heavy troops to retake it back on the same day.

Then the next day, on April 30, the German army re-occupied the Mamayev Heights, but four hours later, it was recaptured by the Soviet Red Army. After receiving this news, Qusirel was furious and ordered the main force of the German army to launch a fierce attack. The battle became more intense. The two armies continued to occupy the highland alternately until the highland was turned into a mountain with piles of corpses. The German army barely gained a foothold on May 7.

The northern industrial zone of Stalingrad was built in a hill, and the buildings were poured with reinforced concrete or made of stone. This unique ground environment, coupled with the materials and architectural habits of the building (the walls of Soviet buildings are generally thick, which is the characteristic of Soviet buildings), makes the damage resistance here quite strong.

Therefore, even though the Frederick rocket launcher, 240 mm or even 270 mm caliber heavy artillery, plus the cover of dozens of assault guns and anti-aircraft self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the German army's advance was still difficult. The German army's speed of advancement every hour was not measured by kilometers, but by meters.

A Ukrainian division commander of the German N Army said in a battle report to Quheerel, "The Soviets were simply crazy. They fought with us in order to compete for every house, workshop, water tower, and railway subgrade. Sometimes the battle lasted for a whole day. We exhausted our ammunition and were full of Soviet corpses everywhere."

The Maxim machine gun next to him was already roaring. At this time, no one would pay attention to what the sound in the loudspeaker in the distance meant. The German attack had begun, and another battle that required many people to die began. This was a hell filled with blood, and God would not save him.

"Front forward! A German assault gun! Armor-piercing shells are loaded!" The Soviet T-34 tank, which had been buried under the ruins, only exposed a turret, slowly adjusted the position of the turret and aimed its 76mm caliber cannon at its target.

"Boom!" The tank fired a fatal shot, but the shells hit the side of the German tank and hit a low wall behind the leopard assault gun. For a moment, rubble and gravel were smashed by huge force, and gray soil covered the distance to block the view.

Not long after this unlucky T-34 tank was assembled, and apart from not applying paint, the most fatal thing about this tank is that it has not yet been installed with out-of-stock scopes. Therefore, the aiming of this Soviet tank can only rely on feelings, and whether it can hit the other side can only rely on faith.

Obviously, the belief in this tank was not firm enough, so the sneak attack shell did not hit the German assault gun opposite the target it should have hit. So the German assault gun suddenly braked and stopped and began to aim its artillery at the T-34 tank not far away.

"Quick! Hurry!" In a hurry, these Soviet workers who had never experienced the test of war were obviously not opponents of the German assault artillery crew that had been through the battlefield. Their second shell was loaded for too long, so long that it gave the Germans the chance to fire first.

"Boom!" The German military team quickly fired their first shell. The 75mm caliber cannon of the leopard assault gun easily penetrated the castrated version of the T-34 tank. The projectiles penetrated ran around inside the tank, killing all the Soviets inside to bloody damage.

Because there was not much fuel, the T-34 tank did not explode in the end, but stopped all its movements as if it had lost its soul. Under the cover of the leopard assault gun, the German grenadiers began to violently attack the Soviet positions. The Soviet army, which was just loading bullets for their rifles, was soon hit by the German machine gun that was covering the attack, and lay next to the killed tank.

A German grenade leaned against the dusty rubble, then took a deep breath and threw the grenade he was holding into the trenches of the Soviet defenders. After a loud bang, the Soviet resistance became even weaker, and some people even began to commit suicide in despair.

This was the first time that the German army had encountered this situation since besieged Stalingrad. When everyone was wondering, a German platoon leader leaned against the bunker and walked through the cracks of the half-collapsed wall of the factory building and saw a wide river in the distance.

He covered the hole in his heart, spitting blood and shouted the last sentence: "Volga!"
