Steel Soviet Union

It was already a great honor for an ordinary sergeant to be greeted personally by Commander Paulus's chief adjutant.

Normally, this sergeant would thank Colonel Adam, salute, shake hands, and smile with a very respectful attitude.

But now, the sergeant, who was dying, didn't even have the strength to sit up from the hospital bed.

"We hid behind a wall to rest where all the people were."

As Colonel Adam listened quietly, the sergeant who temporarily stopped moaning in pain began to tell his story.

"Everyone thought the Russians were far away and wouldn't show up for at least half an hour, but it turned out we were all wrong."

"Russian sappers and Russian sapper commandos used explosives to blow open the walls, as they have always done."

"They concentrated explosives and submachine guns. Those engineer commandos are well-equipped and have great combat experience. If we are in close combat, it is us who usually fail and suffer the consequences. This has always been the case."

"I was very close to the wall and was leaning against it while eating to replenish my strength. The explosive blew me away about five or six meters. I fainted. When I woke up, the battle was over."

"I'm very lucky. Mr. Colonel, we have a company of soldiers in the yard and building. The Russian engineer commando team was defeated and quickly withdrew, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses. We have two There are more than ten of them. Their submachine gun called Bobosha is very powerful. If such a thing can be captured, everyone will be happy to use it. "

Colonel Adam couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, showing a rather displeased expression on his face.

Ever since he entered the main city of Stalingrad and started street fighting, "praise" and "praising" about the Russian's charge kept coming to his ears.

So in the end, Colonel Adam couldn't hold back his strong curiosity. When he went to inspect the front-line troops, he deliberately took away two of the captured Bobosha submachine guns, wanting to see this amazing thing. What's so good about my son?

As the saying goes, you don’t know if you don’t try. Once you try, you’ll be surprised.

Taking two Bobosha submachine guns, he went to a deserted place and randomly fired two drum drums to test the guns. Colonel Adam, who was an infantryman, quickly understood why the soldiers on the front line called this thing "Stalin" 's harvester".

Rate of fire, persistence of fire, and even shooting accuracy within the effective shooting range

This wooden submachine gun that looks rough in workmanship can be said to be impeccable! When Colonel Adam tried the gun, he even felt like he couldn't stop pulling the trigger. A row full of glass bottles and iron cans were shot all over the ground by Colonel Adam with only one drum.

Although he did not want to admit the superiority of the so-called "inferior races", Colonel Adam, who was greatly shocked after the gun test, could not help but realize that even the most basic individual weapons in the hands of the Russians had surpassed his own.

At least in close combat such as street fighting, the MP38 and MP40 submachine guns equipped by our own standard are inferior to the Russian Bobosha and even a fire stick! The frontline soldiers who said they were pressed and beaten by this thing were speaking truthfully and not bragging at all!

If you have to say it, the Somi submachine gun purchased from Finland may be able to overwhelm this Russian guy's Bobosha.

But the submachine guns made in Finland are ridiculously expensive! Much higher than the purchase price of a machine gun!

Germany, which has deep pockets, has not purchased many Somi submachine guns from Finland, and they have basically equipped them with some elite units of the Führer's Waffen SS and the Wehrmacht, such as the newly expanded and upgraded Grossdeutschland Infantry Division.

As for the general Wehrmacht troops, they are far from wealthy enough to equip them with Suomi submachine guns. The cheap MP38 and MP40 are the only options.

The half-disabled sergeant, who was a little tired after talking, began to lie on the bed again and continued to groan in pain.

Colonel Adam, who had a dark face and said nothing, was about to turn around and leave, but a sergeant who looked like his arm was only injured and wearing a bandage suddenly interrupted and stopped Colonel Adam from leaving.

"We are not fighting there, we are in a slaughterhouse, Mr. Colonel."

"There are no real positions in Stalingrad, there are damn ruins everywhere! The Russians can attack us suddenly from any place, any unexpected position. God, Mr. Colonel, have you ever seen the ruins that speak Russian?" ? I’ve seen it! Everyone here has seen it!”

"Our superiors asked us to attack fiercely. If we can't capture the Russian position, it means the offensive is not strong enough. We must continue to increase the intensity of the offensive. I know it's ugly to use swear words, but this is simply fart! Not to mention that the position is not strong enough at all. Even if we attack more fiercely, it will only make us lose our lives faster."

Colonel Adam was born into the Junker aristocracy, and had the unique elegance, reserve, and aristocratic temperament of the Junker aristocratic officer corps. He was the kind of person who understood the truth that "loyalty is hard on the ears but helps the deeds." He was also very willing to listen to the complaints and complaints of the grassroots soldiers below.

At least in Colonel Adam's own view, a brief complaint from a lower-level soldier is often much better than a group of officers sitting in a conference room discussing for a long time.

Colonel Adam, who was interested, was about to turn around and order the sergeant to continue speaking. Unexpectedly, the sergeant's words had already resonated with the seriously wounded on the surrounding beds and the lightly wounded sitting on the ground.

"We should learn from those Russians, Mr. Colonel. They are all veterans of street fighting and skilled hunters. They are good at using every bunker and ruins. Every pile of rocks and broken walls are like natural comrades of the Russians. Those The Russians can attack us from any unexpected place, which we have not yet been able to do.”

Before coming to the field hospital, Colonel Adam had already expected that the Sixth Army, which suffered heavy casualties, would definitely experience some depression and low morale, because even Colonel Adam himself felt that those Russians were simply too powerful in the city, so powerful that they were simply useless. Like the same old rival.

But Colonel Adam never expected that the wounded soldiers' "admiration" and frustration for the Russians would reach such an extent.

"You have such an army that can attack the sky!"

Colonel Adam, who was in a trance for a while, suddenly remembered the words the Führer had said to Paulus himself when he praised the Sixth Army.

Colonel Adam was a little distracted as the voice of the Führer kept echoing in his mind. How could the Sixth Army change so much in just half a month? What is the problem?
