I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 23 The Great Warrior

"Don't talk here, it will disturb other patients' rest!"

The fat nurse walked in and heard it, and hurried forward to warn Lin Chen.

But she turned around very gently and said to the person who was chatting with Lin Chen just now, "Brother, let me help you get a single room!"

Damn, a relative?
Lin Chen was stunned when he heard her words. He didn't expect that this kind of thing was also popular during wartime?
"No, I think this place is fine. Leave the single room to other comrades! Don't yell at him. He is also a hero. I can hear it from his comrades."

"Humph, what's the point of being a hero? Everyone here is a hero, who doesn't have missing limbs? I see he has hands and feet, but he's not much of a hero!"

puff~
Lin Chen almost vomited blood. Having hands and feet has become a crime?

"Don't say that. General Chuikov has taken special care of his comrades. He must have been injured in the fierce battle at the front, but we just don't know it!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Chen suddenly felt honored. There was no doubt that he was indeed injured in this great battle.

"What about you? You are a colonel, but you took the lead in blowing up German tanks. After being seriously injured, you were unwilling to go to a single room and came here to suffer. Are you a hero? But if you are a hero, why did you let someone cross you out of the list that was reported?"

The fat nurse’s words completely stunned Lin Chen. How could there be such a great person?

Other injured and sick people in the ward also looked at him with admiration.

"Don't talk about this. I've explained it to you many times. When the German tanks rushed over, there were only a dozen people left in our regiment. If I don't go, who will? As for being on the list of names, well, compared to those comrades who died, I am much better off as your brother."

"Bullshit, is it going to be like this?" She couldn't bear it any longer and could only run out crying.

"Comrade, don't mind me. My sister speaks bluntly, but she's not a bad person!"

"Comrade Commander, you're welcome!" Although Lin Chen couldn't salute, he was in awe of the fact that the other party was a colonel and was willing to stay here for treatment.

"Don't call me Captain. We are all patients here. My name is Peter. What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Chen, and I'm from the 13rd Battalion of the 42nd Regiment of the th Guards Infantry Division."

"Oh, so you are from the 13th Guards Division. No wonder, your entire division fought so bravely! It is said that more than people in the division were replaced several times, and all fell on the Mamayev Kurgan Heights. Did you come from that height, too?" Peter was obviously very curious.

"No, we are the troops defending the four-story building west of the ferry. We are facing the German 71st Infantry Division."

"Oh my God, so you are the magical unit?" Peter became excited. "You don't know, now the whole Stalingrad is talking about your legend. Such a small number of people defended the building for dozens of days and killed countless German soldiers. Ye Lin is really a strong general with no weak soldiers under him!"

"Hehe," Lin Chen could only smile awkwardly. He said there were dozens of people, but in fact, he didn't know how many people had been replaced. Of course, it was not convenient to say more about these.

"Do you know our team leader?" In fact, Lin Chen himself had never seen Ye Lin, so he was full of curiosity.

"Well, we studied in the same military academy and later served in the army together. He fought more desperately than I did. I hope he can survive!"

Lin Chen understood that many division-level cadres had died in this battle, and the 42nd Regiment where Colonel Ye Lin was located was the first to bear the brunt, so it was probably extremely dangerous.

"How did you get hurt?" Peter asked.

Seeing that Peter was also a kind person, Lin Chen felt happy chatting with him, so he told him everything that happened before he was injured.

Peter was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "The person you shot was Konings' most proud disciple - Heisler. It is said that his shooting skills are closest to Konings. You were able to survive the duel with him. No wonder your comrades tried so hard to send you here. I guess General Chuikov also called to take care of you."

His level was high, and the amount of information he obtained was far beyond what Lin Chen could compare to.
"Okay, Comrade Commander, please rest quickly and stop talking! You need to conserve your energy." At this time, a doctor came in and tried his best to persuade Peter. At the same time, he turned around and warned Lin Chen, "There are all seriously injured people here. You also need to rest and stop talking!"

Lin Chen nodded obediently, then quickly closed his eyes. The sounds of fighting with the German army filled his ears, and the scene of the confrontation with Hessler filled his mind.

How are Pavlov and the others doing?

While he was thinking about Pavlov and others, the Battle of Stalingrad entered its most difficult moment.

The temperature dropped sharply after entering November. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Battle of Moscow, the German army wanted to end the battle before the extreme cold weather arrived.

Therefore, troops were mobilized from the already weak rear and flanks to fill the front line, and on November 1942, 11, an unprecedented offensive was launched.

德军以5个步兵师、2个装甲师和2个工兵营的兵力在苏62集团军宽5公里的正面上发起了强攻。

Within one day, the Soviet and German armies fought extremely fiercely for every inch of land and every house, and countless soldiers fell every second.

Germany's Fourth Air Force also launched a large-scale attack, contrary to its usual practice.

Faced with the German BF109 fighters with outstanding performance, the 8th Air Force's newly-equipped La-3 fighter group engaged in a desperate battle with them, and the 85mm anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground also did their best to assist in the air battle.

Under the heroic fighting of the Soviet Air Force, the German Stuka and Heinkel 111 bomber groups suffered heavy losses, but the effect of ground combat was not obvious.

By night, although the German army reached the banks of the Volga River south of the barricade factory, the troops were exhausted and their offensive had become a spent force.

On November 11, due to heavy casualties, General Paulus was forced to stop the offensive.

The fighting was so intense that corpses piled up on the battlefield, and the important Soviet city of Stalingrad became a living hell.

The Soviet army suffered equally severe losses. The two divisions of the 62nd Army lost 75% of their troops, and most of the troops were reduced to empty shells.

But the Soviet army held on after all!
When the news that the Soviet army had successfully contained the last wave of the German offensive reached the hospital where Lin Chen was, the entire hospital was in an uproar.

The medical staff and the wounded hugged each other and cheered like children.

But only Peter was sent to the operating room for emergency treatment due to postoperative complications.

Despite the doctors' best efforts, he still collapsed on the eve of victory due to his serious injuries.

It was only then that everyone learned from Lin Chen and others that this was a commander of the 64th Army's infantry regiment. He led the troops in battle and although he was seriously injured, he refused special treatment. Like countless brave and dedicated Soviet soldiers, he shed his last drop of blood for the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

He won everyone's respect and love with his actual actions. Soldiers and civilians on the other side of the river came spontaneously to mourn him, and finally a massive memorial event was held on the east bank of the Volga River.

Lin Chen understood that rather than mourning Colonel Peter, it would be more accurate to say that everyone was mourning the comrades and relatives who died in this turning point battle of World War II.

But he knew better that the Soviet counterattack would soon begin!

It is very difficult to write here. I cannot cross the line (otherwise it will not pass the review), and I have to show the real side of war. It is very difficult.

Fortunately, Caogen is relatively clear about the boundaries of censorship. Please believe me, this book will definitely become one of the few novels about the Eastern Front of World War II on Qidian.

Please give more support and don’t just keep the books!
