Ulyanovsk, a fierce battle started from the beginning. Especially after Joseph issued the order to fight to the end, the Russian troops in the city showed great tenacity.
Because those generals already know, Joseph will never allow anyone to surrender again. If they dare to surrender, their families may be dealt with even more cruelly. Therefore, no one dares to think about surrender anymore. Everyone has only one choice, and that is to fight to the death with Germany people. That way, they would at least be heroes. Their families will also be well taken care of.
Because of this, the government affairs were also greatly affected by the ordinary Russian soldiers. They performed very bravely in the battle. Even if he is trapped in a tight siege, he will fight until he is killed.
On a street south of Ulyanovsk, not far from Victory Square. Therefore, the Russian army pays special attention to this place.
A battalion of German military 43rd Infantry Division occupied this neighborhood after a fierce battle. As long as we can advance another two hundred meters, we can attack Victory Square.
The Russian army has launched several attacks in order to retake this place. The streets were littered with the bodies of Russian soldiers.
"Comrade Commander, Comrade Kuznetsov asked us, how long will it take to drive the Germany people out of Moscow Street?" an officer reported.
"Tell Comrade Kuznetsov that my troops are working hard!" Russian army 27th Army Corps Commander Major General Berzarin replied with a cold face.
The south of Ulyanovsk is the defense area of the Russian army 27th Army Corps. However, the enemies he faced were German military 4th Army Corps and 1st Baltic Army Corps. Forget about Baltic States's troops, although they are well-equipped and their combat quality is not low. However, his performance on the battlefield seemed rigid. This caused them to be suppressed by the Russian army during the battle, and the casualties during the battle were also very high. Without German military, Major General Berzarin is confident that he can withstand their attack with the army in hand.
But unfortunately, German military 4th Army Corps is not something they can't deal with. In the face of German military's steady advancement, Major General Berzarin completely felt a sense of despair. His army simply cannot resist German offensive. Every counterattack was like the tide hitting the rocks, shattering them into pieces.
"Order 84th Infantry Division to continue the attack! Before sunset today, the Germany people must be driven out of Moscow Street!" Major General Berzarin ordered with a black face.
"Yes, Comrade Commander."
"Ta-ta-ta!" On the German military's position, four General Purpose Machine Guns were firing, and the crossfire blocked the entire street. On the buildings on both sides that have not yet collapsed, there are German military light machine guns and Sniper Rifle firing.
The brave Russian soldiers charged against German military's hail of bullets. They were holding rifles and shouting slogans, as if they were not afraid of death at all.
"Pfft, pfft!"
The bullets penetrated the human body, and the huge impact force knocked their bodies away, leaving bullet holes in their bodies at the same time. Blood is spurting and life is passing. These brave Russian soldiers are dying.
Human life is undoubtedly very fragile in such a battle. The lives of the soldiers no longer seemed important. They are merely used as tools to complete tasks.
"Damn it! The Germany people's firepower is too strong, we can't rush in at all!" A Russian officer yelled.
Yes, under the strong firepower blockade of the Russian army, the Russian army's attack is useless at all, and it is no different from dying. However, their counterattack could not be stopped. Because their superiors had given orders, these Russian soldiers had to die regardless of whether they were willing or not.
Whether it is from the Russian Empire era or the current Buru, the army generals do not seem to take the lives of soldiers seriously. For them, soldiers are just a number. As long as they can win the battle, the loss of any number of soldiers is acceptable. Anyway, Russia has a large population, which allows them to arm a large number of troops. After losses, they can be quickly replenished.
However, the situation may be different this time. Operation Barbarossa planned by the German Army is going to destroy Russia this time, so naturally it takes into account Russia's huge army. Therefore, during the battle, German military's generals will take the elimination of the Russian army's effective forces as their top priority. Even if the Russian army can arm more than 10 million troops, it will wipe out two to three million at a time. Such a big battle, if carried out several times, would be enough to wipe out all the Russian troops. At that time, what else can the Russian army do to resist German offensive?
To the northwest of Ulyanovsk, five Infantry Division of the Finnish Army are attacking the city center. Finland people undoubtedly have an unforgettable hatred for Russians. Their countries were all annexed by Russia before. It was only after Germany defeated Russia that he helped them become independent. However, after Buru became stronger, it once again posed a great threat to Finland. Everyone Finland knows that if Buru cannot be destroyed, they may soon repeat the same mistakes and be destroyed by Russia again.
Therefore, in this war against Buru, these Finland soldiers performed very bravely. Although their army was small in number, they fought bravely. During the battle, they defeated the remnants of Russian 11th Army Corps, suffering heavy losses and retreating steadily.
Of course, in such a fierce battle, Finnish Army's losses were not small. However, no one retreated.
Fierce battles are taking place everywhere in Ulyanovsk. German military and its allies are destroying the Russian troops in the city bit by bit. Although the Russian army's resistance was very tenacious, they were at an absolute disadvantage in the battle. Under the attack of German military and its allies, Zheng was retreating steadily and constantly losing ground.
By the evening of October 2, almost half of Ulyanovsk's urban area had fallen under the control of German military and its allies. The situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Russian army.
Perhaps in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Western Front, the political workers of the Russian Northwestern Front Army strengthened their control over the military. They tried their best to avoid those military chiefs and led their troops to surrender to German military. At the request of these political workers, the Russian army became more fearless and indifferent to life.
