Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Stalingrad.

This city, named after Stalin, the contemporary leader, and a city that the Soviets were proud of, has now been completely reduced to ruins shrouded in war. Countless soldiers are fighting in this ruins, and people are falling every minute or even every second, just to fight for the ruins of the city under their feet.

Commander Alexander Mikhailovich Vasilevsky in the underground headquarters looked at the casualty report in his hand and frowned deeply. He had received news two days ago that the German street fighting troops that had previously attacked Smolensk had arrived in Stalingrad and were about to enter the battle. As a result, our casualties doubled in the past two days, and yesterday's casualties alone reached an astonishing more than 20,000 people.

Originally, the casualty ratio between our own side and the European coalition forces (Germany, Romania, Hungary, the Russian Liberation Army, Ukraine, and the Foreign Legion) was maintained at a level of 1:2 or 1:3; but when the German street fighting troops entered the battle, this death ratio suddenly exceeded 1:6. The German street fighting troops relied on more intensive artillery support, as well as air support and the infiltration of snipers and special forces, causing Soviet casualties to skyrocket.

As casualties increase, various problems arise. "Comrade Commander, our reserve of medicines is about to run out. Especially the anesthetics and plasma used to rescue the wounded are about to run out." The logistics general in charge of the medical supplies reserve reported an even more worrying issue. Once the anesthetic is gone, operating on injured soldiers can hurt them to death.

Commander Vasilevsky sighed. "I will find a way." The only way to think about it is to ask Moscow for help, but now Stalingrad has long been surrounded; no materials from outside can be transported in, including life-saving medicines.

In the Battle of Stalingrad in the original time and space, because the German army failed to completely cut off the Soviet supply line, the Soviet army always received strong support at the most critical moment. On several occasions, the Soviet army in Stalingrad suffered devastating blows. But the Soviet army was stunned and came over. It relies on the support of cutting-edge troops and continuous supplies.

In a general city assault battle, the attacker must first establish a tight encirclement along the periphery of the city to prevent the defenders in the city from receiving new reinforcements, and then launch a centripetal assault to clear out the defenders in the city in an orderly manner.

The city of Stalingrad is unique in that it is backed by the Volga River, which makes it impossible for Stalingrad to be truly surrounded by the German army (unless the German army crosses the Volga River and establishes an interception position on the east bank of the Volga River).

At the beginning of the siege of Stalingrad, Mustache issued an order to block Soviet transportation, dropped a large number of mines and bombs on the Volga River channel, and launched a large-scale attack on Soviet railways and highways near the front line. The air raid was intended to completely cut off Stalingrad from the outside world. Later, as the German front advanced to the Volga River, German field artillery also joined in the blockade of the Soviet supply lines.

If the Soviet army wants to defend Stalingrad, it must break the German blockade and provide a reliable logistics supply line for the defenders in the city. This is related to the success or failure of the battle to defend Stalingrad, and is also related to the strategic decisive battle surrounding Stalingrad. success or failure.

The Battle of Stalingrad was the most difficult period for the Soviet logistics department. Despite unprecedented difficulties, the Soviet logistics department basically completed the tasks assigned by the Supreme Command, not only ensuring the personnel of the Soviet 62nd Army in the city. and material needs, it also provided sufficient material reserves for future major counterattacks, broke the blockade of German aircraft and artillery, and overcame natural obstacles such as the Volga and Don rivers. Through comprehensive utilization of railways, roads, water and air transportation and even manpower Various transportation methods such as transportation provide reliable material support for frontline troops. During the entire Stalingrad Defense Campaign, the Soviet logistics department transported 26,000 carriages of various materials to the front line, totaling 520,000 tons. All fronts of the Soviet Army consumed 17 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 7.3 million rounds of artillery shells, and 100,000 tons of fuel. Without strong logistical support, the Soviet Army would not have been able to achieve the final victory in the Battle of Stalingrad.

At this time, under Yannik's order, the German army had already forcibly crossed the Volga River and occupied the east bank of the Volga River. The entire Stalingrad was completely surrounded. Even if it occasionally broke through the German defense line, the supplies brought in were only a drop in the bucket.

Commander Vasilevsky could only put the medicine issue aside and asked about another matter. "How is the food consumption? Is there enough to eat?"

Another general reported. "Comrade Commander, because the number of soldiers killed in battle is too large, the remaining food reserves are still sufficient."

Because so many soldiers died in battle, there is no need to worry about food consumption? Commander Vasilevsky opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he could only nod. "Don't be stingy, make sure every soldier is well fed."

"Yes! Comrade General, I will take care of it."

At this moment, the fierce fighting on the ground is still continuing, accompanied by intensive gunfire, bullets shuttle back and forth between two buildings less than 100 meters apart.

Under the building where the Soviet army was stationed, several soldiers were pushing an M192 76mm infantry gun out from behind the building.

"Push hard!" A Soviet squad leader loudly encouraged his men, and the soldiers also shouted slogans and pushed the infantry cannon. In fact, this infantry cannon weighs less than one ton, and it has two wheels, so it should be easy to move. Unfortunately, the two wheels are completely damaged, and they can only use brute force to move the cannon.

The Liberation Army soldiers in the building opposite obviously also discovered this thing, and bullets began to fire intensively. After all, no one wants to be blasted into the sky by this thing. One Soviet soldier was shot and fell, but more Soviet soldiers pushed the cannon to the designated position, with the muzzle pointed at the building opposite.

"Cannonball!"

Just as a gunner was about to pry open the shell box, his whole body trembled suddenly and he fell weakly on the shell box.

The others just thought they had been hit by a grenade, and another soldier stepped forward immediately, but just as he was about to pry open the shell box, he was also hit and fell down. The soldiers around the infantry cannon were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and only then did they react. "Sniper! Take cover!" The remaining people rolled and crawled to hide behind the building. At this time, only one squad of soldiers from the two squads remained.

"Comrade squad leader, what should we do?!" The other soldiers gasped and asked their squad leader.

Before the squad leader had time to think of a countermeasure, there was a rapid sound of shells breaking through the sky.
