Chapter 1034 This is down

The 500,000 troops of the 8th Corps of the China stormed the positions of the German and Romanian troops on the east bank of the Volga River from dozens of kilometers in front. After the artillery fire was washed away, the troops of the 8th Corps made the enemy fully feel the determination of the Chinese soldiers and the power of various advanced weapons and equipment.

Before noon, the troops of the Third Reich on the east coast had already begun to be defeated.

After being hit by various automatic or semi-automatic firepower, the Romanian Cavalry Brigade resolutely chose to "retreat".

On the open plains, the cavalry troops retreated far faster than other infantry divisions.

Some soldiers from the Romanian Infantry Division and German Light Division watched the Cavalry Brigade run past them in a flash, and some complaints and curses were inevitably revealed in their mouths.

From time to time, the roar of Chinese fighter jets sounded in the sky. Behind, the enemy infantry chased him at high speed under the cover of the armored division.

Under various oppressions, the troops of the Third Reich on the East Coast accelerated the retreat to the Volga River.

At around 4 pm, the 101st Light Division and two Romanian infantry divisions arrived at the Volga River.

The soldiers rushed to the ferry and to the dock, hoping to evacuate to the Stalingrad city on the other side as soon as possible through the ferry.

But soon, all of them had a look of shock and horror on their faces.

The Volga River in front of them is no longer what they think. There is no floating bridge or ferry on the river, and there is no intact ferry on the shore.

The wide river surface was covered with debris from the destruction of the pontoon bridge. Ferry No. 1, Ferry No. 2 and the central ferry all burned. The ferry had sunk and black smoke rose into the sky in the oil warehouse.

Beside the wreckage of the three ferries, on the bank of the Volga River, corpses of people and horses that were beaten into pieces can be seen everywhere.

The smell of blood and gasoline are mixed together, which is almost disgusting.

Bright red blood flowed into the Volga River, dyeing the places close to the shore scarlet.

The bodies of some people mixed in the debris of the pontoon bridge and were undulating on the rolling Volga River.

"The Cavalry Brigade is over!"

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers of the Third Reich no longer had any anger or complaints in their hearts.

The fastest-running cavalry brigade suffered the most casualties!

The soldiers of the Cavalry Brigade sat in despair on the edge of the burning ferry, and many unowned war horses could be seen running near the Volga River.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

A super air fortress of China appeared above Ferry No. 1, with bomb drop doors opened, and aviation bombs fell like raindrops around the ferry and ferry.

"Boom boom boom..."

The violent explosion caused the river waves to surging and the earth to tremble.

Romanians and Germans held their heads and entered the nearest bunker, praying for God's blessing.

After the earth-shaking explosion, the ferry completely disappeared.

It is almost impossible for the troops on the East Coast to retreat to Stalingrad.

"Dadadada..."

Some Romanians panicked and swam into the river with wooden boards in their arms.

But they forgot that there were still Chinese fighter jets circling on their heads.

The water column soared into the sky, and there were a few more scarlet reds in the river.

"All intersections have been destroyed, and our troops cannot gather here, and that will become a living target for enemy bombers!"

The commander of the 101st German Light Division looked at the chaos on the east bank of the Volga River, and his forehead was filled with sweat, and he said anxiously to the commander of the 8th Infantry Division of the Romanian.

The commander of the 8th Infantry Division had a little blank and confused eyes.

“What should I do now?”

"It is impossible to cross the river. Break south!"

As soon as the commander of the 101 light division finished speaking, violent explosions came from Hongsloboda and other places behind.

There is a place where two Romanian infantry divisions gather.

The commander of the 8th Romanian Infantry Division trembled for a moment. He looked at the smoke and dust rising from the explosion behind him and said powerlessly and desperately:

"How about surrendering to the Chinese people. If this continues, everyone will die!"

The west bank of the Volga River, among the ruins of Stalingrad.

Upon hearing the news, Paulus, commander of the 6th Army, held up a telescope and looked at the tragic situation on the river surface and the east bank.

“Bangbangbang……”

The anti-aircraft guns arranged in the ruins of the east coast are continuously firing at the Chinese fighter jets above their heads, hoping to cover the retreat of friendly troops on the east coast, but their effect is minimal.

Frederick, the commander of the 55th Army who was in charge of the defense of Stalingrad city, stood beside Pauls. He couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation on the Volga River and put down his telescope.

"General Paulus, please order the troops on the east coast to retreat to the south. The enemy only dispatched air force fighters and gave such a big blow to the troops. In an hour or two, their infantry troops will arrive on the east coast, and then the few divisions will be all over!"

The staff around him also had similar opinions, and everyone looked at Paulus.

When the Bolsheviks retreated, they destroyed all ferries and ferries on both sides of the Volga River.

It took Paulus a month or two to make the east and west sides smoothly navigate again.

But the Chinese fighter jets bombed only for an hour and wiped out Paulus's two-month efforts.

When the enemy has air supremacy, forcibly crossing the river will inevitably lead to major casualties.

Paulus said:

“Allow them to retreat to the south!”

………

At 6 pm on June 5, when it was getting dark, the 13th and 14th Army of the Eighth Corps arrived in Hongsloboda, Burkovsky and other places on the east bank of the Volga River.

Jia Dalin, deputy commander of the Corps and commander of the 13th Army, soon received a report from the front line:

"The Romanians ask for surrender!"

Is this a drop?

Jia Dalin brought Xu Zihe, deputy commander of the 13th Army, to Hongsloboda.

The city was surrounded by soldiers from the Western Expedition Army. When Jia Dalin arrived, the soldiers outside were talking about the situation in the city with relish.

"I really didn't expect that the Nazis surrendered so quickly. Aren't they very powerful?"

"You know, you're not Germanic now, even the white flag is hung now. The Germanic people have already run away, and the city is their servants."

"oh………"

During this day's battle, the Eighth Corps units attacked quickly, and the enemy was about to collapse, and no major casualties occurred.

In addition to being tired of running for a day, the soldiers are in good mental state.

After Jia Dalin and Xu Zihe arrived, the surrender of the 8th, 14th Infantry Division and the 6th Cavalry Brigade of Romania officially began.

After deciding to surrender, all the Romanians were relieved of the momentum.

After the two division commanders handed over the mating guns to Jia Dalin and Xu Zihe, they were in a little low mood.

15,000 Romanians put down their weapons and walked out of the city. They just looked a little embarrassed and didn't seem to have really reached the end of their lives.

When walking by the Chinese soldiers, these Romanian surrendered soldiers would look at the troops from the East with curiosity.

Before today, many Romanians did not know what the Chinese soldiers looked like.

After surrendering, they were unable to satisfy their curiosity.

Little did they know that the Chinese soldiers beside them were also looking at these foreigners curiously.

"Ha, I'm not as good as a human or a ghost, I thought I was so capable!"

"But that's it..."
