Bright Sword's Minion Interspersed

Chapter 335 Special Day

(One)

"Oh, it's only five minutes past four." Guan Shan muttered in a low voice.

He was surprised to find that Mr. Liu's watch actually had a calendar, an Arabic numeral 12!

Tsk tsk tsk, this is really too advanced!
It's just that... Guan Shan can't directly know which month's 12th it is for the time being.

Covering his mouth and yawning, Guan Shan listened to the conversations of the people next to him with his ears sideways.

The Russian language is accessible, although some words may not be heard clearly, but it does not affect Guan Shan's cognition of the overall content, and he can quickly deduce that today is December 12, 12.

For the Battle of Stalingrad, December 12th is a rather special day.

It was also the last crisis of the Soviet Red Army in this tragic battle.

(two)

Stalingrad started the war in mid-July, and the German army attacked all the way. By September 7, all the defensive positions outside Stalingrad fell. The 9nd Army was cut off from other troops on the battlefield and completed the division and encirclement.

It's just that the Germans didn't expect that the Soviet Supreme Command had already formulated a street fighting plan, and Stalin transferred Krylov, the chief of staff of the Primorsky Army who had just commanded the "Battle of Sevastopol" for 8 and a half months. , served as chief of staff of the 62nd Army stationed in Stalingrad.

Since Germany broke through the city defenses on September 9, the two sides fought in the streets of Stalingrad for more than two months. The German army occupied 12% of the entire city at most, and divided the remaining Soviet troops into two long and narrow pockets. However, until November 80 when the Soviet army launched a major counter-offensive on the entire front, the German army failed to completely occupy the city.

After all, the 62nd Army has 11 divisions, and Krylov, who personally commanded the defense of Sevastopol, has done his best to prepare for street fighting during the two months when he blocked the Germans in the outer defensive positions.

After two months of street fighting, the 62nd Army held back the Paulus 700th Army, which consumed 6 tons of ammunition and ammunition every day. In just 10 days after the start of the major counter-offensive operation code-named "Uranus", the Soviet Union The army then carried out an anti-encirclement against Paulus's 6th Army under the city of Stalingrad.

According to statistics, by the end of November in this battle, the German casualties around the city of Stalingrad had reached 11.

However, the 6th Army in the encirclement still has about 30 people.

After the encirclement was formed, Stalin and Adolf issued an almost identical order "The 6th Army must stay in Stalingrad".

Because of this order, Germany sent another tens of 10 lives to the battlefield of Stalingrad.

Among them, on December 12, Marshal Manstein was ordered to launch an operation code-named "Winter Storm", commanding a German armored army to break through the Soviet army's outer defense line from the direction of the Aksee River, and commanding Stalingrad...

In fact, the order Manstein received was to "reinforce Paulus, defeat Zhukov, and control Stalingrad." This is what Adolf said when he shouted to all Germans in his public speech.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

A staff officer hurried over and handed the message to a bearded lieutenant general.

The bearded man took the message and walked quickly to the front of the sand table, chattering and ordering his subordinates to mark it.

Guan Shan also stood up curiously, and looked over from a distance. Several staff officers pushed the tank model with long poles, and some people were nervously doing calculations. They knew what happened at a glance.

"Can you all understand?" Mr. Liu asked in a low voice.

"Oh, hehe." Guan Shan smiled and replied: "Some of them should be the pronunciation of the people of the place names, and I can't match the numbers..."

Mr. Liu nodded lightly, and said, "They are calling abbreviations and code names, it's normal if you don't understand."

"It seems to mean that the reinforcements and supplies required by the defense line will not arrive within three days?" Guan Shan asked.

"The Germans have already started artillery preparations for the defense line of the Aksai River." Mr. Liu said as he gently pulled Guan Shan, and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the sand table to have a look."

Guan Shan followed Mr. Liu to avoid carefully, and squeezed his way through the crowd.

After careful recalling and reviewing for a while, Guan Shan found that his memory was extremely incoherent and fragmented.

However, the memories of the previous life were retrieved instead, including a lot of information about the Stalingrad defense battle.

Speaking of which, it has something to do with a girl again, and that happened when Guan Shan was studying at University. A girl heard that Guan Shan could speak Russian and German, so she invited Guan Shan to help translate some materials...

"Guan?" A girl said with some incorrectly pronounced Chinese characters.

Guan Shan turned his face sensitively and looked over, and President Liu also stood there in a daze.

"Guan, it's really you!" A female soldier nearly 1.7 meters five looked at Guan Shan in surprise.

Oh, not counting female soldiers, but a female officer with the rank of lieutenant... oh no no no, yes, lieutenant colonel?

Guan Shan stared at her blankly, but couldn't remember who she was.

"I'm sorry, you definitely don't know me! But I've seen your picture!" The female lieutenant colonel smiled and helped Guan Shan straighten his morals.

Seeing that the opponent's military rank was higher than his own, "Major Sasha" also stood at attention and gave a military salute.

"Hello, I'm Yelena, Allied Intelligence Liaison Officer." The female lieutenant colonel returned the salute and introduced herself to President Liu in blunt but relatively fluent Chinese.

"Hi sir, student Sasha salutes you!" Mr. Liu also introduced himself very politely.

"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Yelena, I can't see you for a while, I didn't expect you to have acquaintances here? Oh, Sasha! You are a friend of Lieutenant Colonel Yelena!" A tall and fat lieutenant colonel followed When Yelena said hello, she happened to see Mr. Liu, and said hello in surprise.

"Lieutenant Colonel Alexandra!" President Liu saluted politely.

Guan Shan followed Mr. Liu and saluted, but the fat man didn't look at Guan Shan.

"Oh no no no, Sasha! You still call me Arthur, don't be so polite!" The lieutenant colonel patted Major Sasha on the shoulder affectionately.

"It seems to be your acquaintance, Arthur, why don't you chat for a while, I have a few questions I want to ask this little friend." Yelena asked Lieutenant Colonel Arthur for advice in proficient English.

"Oh? Who is this? Is it with you? Sasha?" Lieutenant Colonel Arthur looked at Sasha suspiciously.

"My temporary... secretary." Mr. Liu explained.

　Favorites are welcome, thanks for the recommendation!
