"Can't the Air Force play a role?" Colonel Slain roared angrily: "Let them send a few more bombers to blow up the rails!"

But this statement was quickly rejected by the Air Force: "Sorry, Colonel, the pilot can only vaguely see the armored train in the smoke. This is done by relying on the smoke emitted from the chimney of the armored train. We cannot determine the location of the tracks at all."

The pilots also had their helplessness, especially the Soviets burned a large number of used tires around the station, and streams of black smoke rushed straight to the clouds. In addition, artillery fire, dust, smoke bombs, etc., it was difficult to see the target even on the ground, let alone bombers flying rapidly in the sky... This is also one of the reasons why the German pilots mistakenly bombed the 21st Armored Division before.

"Maybe we can force it back with gunfire!" Albridge said helplessly.

"No!" Qin Chuan looked around and said, "Maybe we shouldn't force it back, but we should redirect it, to be precise, to be transferred to a certain position!"

"What does it mean?" asked Colonel Slain.

"Colin!" Qin Chuan said: "The armored train will adjust its position according to the direction of our attack, right?"

"Of course!" said Colonel Slain, "this is where it is difficult to deal with!"

"Did you see that building?" Qin Chuan pointed to a building more than ten-story high in front of him, which looked like a staff dormitory, and said, "I was wondering if we let it collapse to the north, will it press onto the railway!"

"Do you want to block the railway?" Colonel Albridge shook his head and said, "Even this is not very effective. Armored trains can still operate and play a role in other sections of the road. And it won't take long for their engineers to clear those obstacles!"

"No!" Qin Chuan said: "I am not referring to this..."

As he said that, Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said, "I just observed the stops of the armored train. When we launched an attack, it was always used to stopping here, here, and here and then shooting. And I dare say, it will do this next time, because stopping at these positions can exert as much firepower as possible to cause as much damage to us!"

"But what can this happen?" Albridge asked.

Qin Chuan pointed to one of them and said, "If it stopped here... it was only twenty meters away from that building!"

"Do you want to bury it?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"So that's it!" Qin Chuan nodded.

Colonel Albridge exchanged glances with Colonel Slein, then nodded in agreement.

The plan was implemented soon.

The first thing is to occupy the abandoned building.

This is not an easy thing, because there are Soviet troops stationed on it, especially on the high-rise... The Soviet troops deployed machine guns and mortars upstairs, shooting downwards, and wire winds, landmines, etc. were also arranged downstairs.

But what the German army wanted was not to occupy the entire building. In fact, they just had to capture the first floor.

So, when the bomber once again forced the armored train back to the bunker, the German army launched a raid on the building under the cover of the tank.

A mortar shell went over and the wire fence was blown up. Several "3" tanks slowly drove towards the building under the cover of dense rain of bullets such as machine guns and rocket launchers...

With a "boom", the tank fired a shell into the building, and the Soviet army stationed in the building was screaming on the spot.

Then the machine guns paralleled "dada" and fired violently into the building, causing cement debris in the building to fly randomly. Then a team of German soldiers jumped into the building in a zigzag shape. With the sound of MP43 guns, the soldiers quickly occupied the first floor.

However, the Soviet army was not worried about this. They thought it was just a loss of the first floor. The Soviet army set up checkpoints and set up traps in this seventeen-story building. The German army could only attack up one by one... This was exactly what the Soviet army wanted. The reason why they still stayed here was because they received orders to delay the German army.

This is Yelemenko's order.

It should be said that this is completely correct, because if the German army was allowed to penetrate all the way from the left wing, the Soviet army's defense line in the Don River in the Stalingrad section would soon collapse, and then Stalingrad would be surrounded by the German army from the west, north and south (it could not be surrounded on the east side close to the Volga River). This was not something the Soviet army would like to see.

Therefore, Yelemenko needs time, to be precise, the Stalingrad Front, located in the north, needs time to assemble troops and supplies to prevent this situation from happening.

Originally, Yelemenko should have withdrawn all the Soviet troops stationed in Karachi Port back to Stalingrad's defense, because it was obvious that Karachi could not defend.

However, in order to gain time for the subsequent troops, Yelemenko could only grit their teeth and order the 184th and 192nd Divisions stationed there to hold on until the last moment... Yelemenko hoped that they could at least use Karachi's supplies, city and terrain to delay the German army for about five days. For this reason, Yelemenko even transferred the armored train "Strike the German Invaders" that was originally used to defend Stalingrad to Karachi.

This has proven to be correct, because the armored trains did play a role in Karachi.

But this effect will obviously not last long.

Several teams of German soldiers hugged and ran into the building. Unlike the previous soldiers, these teams were engineers, and they were holding explosives, detonation lines, etc.

After entering the building, under the command of the engineer captain, they placed the explosives on the north-facing load-bearing wall... This was to allow the building to collapse northward.

Engineers will solve these problems very well. As an industrial country, Germany is often bound to have similar blasting operations, and of course there will be similar talents in the army.

The engineer captain was once in charge of engineering blasting at Hamburg Construction Company. After Colonel Slein told him the purpose of this blasting, he agreed: "This is a very simple blasting work. Colonel, I will definitely do it!"

"Very good!" Colonel Slain nodded, but said with some concern: "Do you know what it means if you fail? We only have one chance!"

"I know, colonel!" replied the captain: "I won't let you down, otherwise... I will be the first to hold the explosive bag to deal with that big guy!"

Slain patted the captain on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, it is important to us to do your business!"

"Yes, Colonel!"
