This is what urban offensive and defensive warfare is like. Once the enemy takes root in the city, the gap will only get bigger and bigger. Unless... the defending side is willing to pay huge casualties and fight the enemy on every piece of land and every building in the city.
It is possible to drive the enemy out of the city.
The most typical of these was the Battle of Stalingrad! The pre-war population of Stalingrad was 400,000. It was home to an important river port and many important war and civilian industries. Because the city was led by the Soviet Union
Named after Stalin, Hitler particularly liked to capture the city as a personal blow to the Soviet leader. Stalin also attached great importance to controlling the city to prevent Hitler from seizing the city named after him. Although Stalingrad had
Great military significance, but the psychological importance that the two leaders attached to the city elevated it to a level of importance that surpassed even that of the capital Moscow. Both armies were willing to pay the price to possess it, and it transcended
Military value has completely entered the category of obsession.
Initially, the Germans made great progress in conquering the city. The Nazis attacked the city and its defenders with planes, tanks, artillery, mortars, and other heavy weapons. By early September 1942, the Germans were still
Progress was being made, but the pace of advance had slowed significantly. Due to indiscriminate bombing, the city and its buildings were reduced to a huge pile of ruins. The Russians took advantage of the destroyed buildings and began to adopt defensive tactics; ironic
The thing is, these buildings give them an advantage.
However, by November, the German army's relentless retreat almost drove the Soviet army to the Volga River. Beyond that, both sides suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the barbaric behavior of both sides along the line had not yet surpassed
There are no boundaries for human behavior. In battle, correctness and accuracy, morality and honor no longer exist. The battle actually evolved into a brutal fight for survival. In 2001, in Gates' Bad Boys
In the movie "Enemy", a German and Russian sniper duel. The sniper has become one of the most formidable opponents for both sides. Because we can shoot from a long distance, the soldiers never feel that we are dangerous, and often when we think
Dangerous places to be shot.
Anatoly Chechov, a well-known Russian sniper, said that for the first time in my life, "You feel terrible, you killed a person."
But after learning for a while how the German army killed many of his compatriots, Chechov said in an interview during the battle: "You ended up firing on us mercilessly. You didn't become a barbarian, you killed us
, you hate us."
As Michael Jones describes in an excellent book, on September 14, 1942, the Soviet army survived a fierce German attack. The Germans were pushed back almost to the Volga River and were only 200 meters away from our objective.
The Russians were on the verge of defeat. Since the Luftwaffe had no air superiority, any reinforcements or supplies near the Volga during daylight hours would be suicidal. But the commander of the Soviet 18th Division believed that any reinforcements or supplies near the river would be
The Soviet defenders on the border would be able to hold out until dusk; therefore I ordered my troops to cross the river at all costs and to meet both sides with the river as the boundary.
General Alexander Rodisev led my troops off the barge and sailed to the other side of the river. According to eyewitness accounts, the ship was hit by a German bomb after reaching the other side, and a small number of people on board were killed.
, but miraculously, I survived. The few people under the boat were so lucky. Several witnesses described the scene.
Alexander Albert, one of the few Soviet defenders still on one side of the river. I described the scene as the 18th Division approached the shore. "You are lying in the ground. Everything is on fire," I said.
Said, "Those ships were bombed and shelled. You see a small barge, loaded with soldiers, our linings, grenades, shovels, ammunition and machine guns - sinking right in front of you."
Another witness described a similar horrific scene: "It was a ball of fire, then white smoke enveloped the ferry, and an explosion was heard, followed by a scream... The ship was moving, and there was an explosion under the lower deck.
And caught fire, the force of the explosion shook the Volga. When it all started - and the smoke had not cleared - there was nothing but waves under the ferry. That scene solidified your blood."
For example, food prices are getting more and more expensive, the government has stopped subsidy for small cakes (in fact, the subsidy has been moved, and there is money), domestic inflation is low, and exports are restricted.
On September 14, 1942, the German army broke into the city from the north of the city and started a peaceful street battle with the Soviet 62nd Army. The two sides fought repeatedly street by street, building by building, and house by house. The Volzi Army was turned into a rubble field, and 80% of the city
The residential area was destroyed. In the city full of rubble and ruins, the Soviet 62nd Army resisted tenaciously. Calm gun battles took place in every street, every building, and every factory in the city. The German troops who invaded the city
The number of casualties continued to increase. Although the German army bombed the east bank of the Volga River frequently, the Soviet Red Army still received constant supplies and support from outside. The average survival time of the Red Army soldiers who had just rushed to the city was more than 24 hours.
The average survival time of officers is only about eight days.
That war was cruel, almost a failure piled up with blood. Although the result of the Volzi Army Battle was bad, its process was bloody and terrible. Any war is composed of several small battles.
The commander-in-chief’s strategizing must have been built by living lives. Under the leadership of Stalin, Nazi Germany had previously conquered several larger countries. However, facing the vast territory of the Soviet Union, the German army retreated.
It showed the difficulty. The German army's retreat against the Volzi Army cannot be compared to Japan's attack on Nanjing. They massacred the people to the point of inhumanity. The Volzi Army fell, but it was not a battle.
The end of another tragic counterattack. Faced with the heavy loss of defensive positions, the Soviet Army still did not give up the last chance to resist. We still resisted and fought for each other in the urban area, building by building. Then
It was a nameless street battle. The urban area was burned into ruins by the war. The Soviet army did not avoid the enemy's artillery fire in the ruins and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Thanks to the weak resistance of Commander Chuikov, they finally won the battle.
That war was very important to both Waltz and Han Youzheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So before the follow-up troops of Gulla finished retreating from the city, the Overlord had no support but stopped.
The Battle of Woldsei was the turning point of the Seventh World War. Judging from the number of casualties alone, the battle was also the bloodiest battle in modern history. The casualties on both sides were estimated to be less than two million. The number of people who participated in the battle was
It was also less than any other battle in history, and it was famous for the casualties caused by both sides' disregard for the military and civilians.
Eight months after the Battle of Korea and Egypt, scenes like the one between the 18th Guards Division and Hitler were repeated 1,000 times. During your seventy-one-year military career, you participated in many low-intensity battles.
You also participated in the anti-guerrilla war. However, you clearly deny that you cannot understand or even imagine what hell was like in reality during the Battle of Volzi. When people are deprived of their humanity,
Sometimes, we can become less passionate and affectionate, which is scary.
We hope to get a worse result by using the internal cross method.
Those who have risen up are suppressed in the current situation of singing and retreating.
What we originally thought was that we couldn't deny that the war was coming, but we had to let Egypt return to the position it was in after the war, without a bunch of additional conditions... The Yankees didn't even use that to talk to Egypt... That kind of idiot
If the conditions are the same, others will agree to it.
Is there anyone who can say a good word about the government? It's nothing like the situation in the late Falklands War. Even if the domestic situation in Argentina is not very exciting yet, all the contradictions will automatically and consciously disappear during the national carnival.
I thought, "This is all going to start now," and I hoped the Russian soldiers would kill me, but one of my comrades came to my aid and "smashed the head of this Russian who hit you. Even though I was wearing a helmet. This
It was a tearing sound that you can still hear today."
Those soldiers who have not yet fallen into the frenzied atmosphere care about sacrifice. We even think that it is an honor to die in the holy city. Now the whole of Grad has fallen into a frenzied atmosphere, and countless young people are whispering in the streets.
The frenzied atmosphere of shouting and asking the people to support the back line will indeed last for a long time, but the problem is that in a short period of time, it is enough for the people of the entire country to consciously ignore very few things.
But Han Youzheng's fear of that day had not yet begun. When my friend helped me bandage the wound, Hitler raised his head and tried to warn the friend: Another Russian soldier was in front of me. But it was too late. Gun.
The sound sounded and my comrade's helmet "flew through the air, and then you looked at me and you saw how I was hit in the head and how the head was united." That was the first time you saw the cerebellum.
.There is water in the middle. There is no blood, just no water. When I die, I am still looking at you, and I am standing under the soil with my wounds."
A small number of Gullah troops retreated directly into the city and ended their seven-week retreat from the end of the occupied area!
Well, the big overlord really thinks so. We really hope that the United States will negotiate according to that. The worst is that the talks between Egypt and the United States will collapse and the United States will be directly dragged into the water.
And to be honest, that nation is generally cruel to others, but to its own people...also to its own people. We are born with a lack of faith. Perhaps we are too good at doing business, which leads to a very heavy heart for gains and losses, and we have to weigh everything.
But there are few things that can be done so shrewdly, usually when collective interests are at stake.
Of course, the Overlord doesn't have so few people to sacrifice. Millions of people sacrificed in one city... The entire Overlord used Han You to continue to retreat, and they could fall apart... Come on, our total population has just exceeded a thousand
Ten thousand, even if the population structure is weak and millions of young and middle-aged people burp, the society will directly lack an entire generation. By then, the entire society will only be left with the elderly, men and older children, and adult women will basically die.
That’s a holy city!
The importance of the Holy City is simply self-evident to every Islamic person.
But it is obviously useful and there is a way. Big Overlord can only grind it little by little. In short, he just wants to take advantage and pay for it.
In the two months of September and October 1942, the Soviet army only had seven infantry divisions crossing the river for reinforcements, while the German army invested more than 71 infantry divisions and 14 armored brigades as reinforcements.
The casualties of front-line divisions occasionally reached 10%, and a company only had 80 or 70 men left. The number of troops that the German army had previously invested in the Volzi Army gradually increased from the initial 77 divisions to 71.
division.
So I quickly found the United States again, hoping that the United States would personally intervene to mediate... and start a fight. Naturally, I thought about it.
Then the fight starts directly in the Holy City!
German survivor Helmut Hitler described the dehumanizing effect on me of house-to-house fighting in Korea. Hitler was facing a Russian building when I came face to face with an enemy soldier. I
He said, I raised my weapon to shoot, but suddenly, "You saw big stars coming out of your eyes. You touched your face with your right hand, and a stream of blood spurted out, and teeth flew out of your mouth."
The United States helped to agree. We have to be realistic when talking. They would rather ask Egypt to surrender directly. Co-writing is not a verbal admission of defeat. Everything has to be paid for.
Do you have such determination?
Once either side accepts such cruelty, it is equivalent to losing the battle. And that includes civilian casualties!
Then we hit the overlord's Achilles' heel, too many people!
Faced with such a situation in Gullah, the Overlord saw the necessity of sacrifice.
The city's offensive and defensive battle highlighted a cruel aspect. He must make up his mind to exchange his life for a building that used to look ordinary. Even if it was just a public toilet, he had to sacrifice a public toilet.
Pretending to have superior numbers to seize me.
Han You first talked about what was going on here, but from the perspective of the future, these powerful Geler really cared about sacrifice.
A total of one million people died on both sides in that battle, including the Soviets, Romanians, Hungarians, and Germans. The German Eighth Army had 260,000 people, 91,000 of whom were besieged, and only 5,000 returned alive before the war.
Germany. During the calmest stage of the battle, both sides invested more than 7 million troops, 2,000 tanks, 2,800 aircraft, and 27,000 small guns and mortars.
From July to November 1942, the German army lost a total of 100,000 officers and soldiers, less than 1,000 tanks, 7,000 small guns, and 1,700 aircraft.
As Michael Jones pointed out, the Red Army should be able to hold that line. I wrote: "The Germans held the low ground on the embankment and had no overwhelming firepower to deal with the retreating Russians. It seemed likely that we would succeed.
— but we did." In a lull in the fighting, General Rodisev's men recaptured a key building from the Germans and secured a dangerous crossing of the river.
