They will be massacred."

"Then what should we do?"

"It's better to wait until the shelling is over and the smoke dissipates before ordering the troops to attack." Sokov told Fomenko on the phone: "But before the attack begins, you must place the division's artillery regiment at the front so that it can use artillery fire at any time.

Destroy the exposed firepower points and cover the infantry's smooth rush into the fortress."

"Understood, Comrade Commander." After Sokov's explanation, Fomenko immediately understood how to fight the next battle, and quickly replied: "I will follow your instructions."

"Comrade General," Sokov told Fomenko, knowing that it was the first time for the troops to attack the fortress and they lacked the necessary experience in attacking fortresses, "Don't be too impatient when you attack. You must consolidate the points you capture and gradually conquer them."

Compress the Germans' living space and cooperate with friendly forces to completely eliminate them."

After Sokov finished calling Fomenko, he ordered Samyko: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you just heard the conversation between me and General Fomenko. Please call the commanders of each division."

, tell them the tactics I plan to use, lest they rush for success and cause unnecessary losses to the troops."

"Yes, Comrade Commander." Sameko agreed excitedly: "I will immediately convey your intention to all participating troops to prevent them from suffering unnecessary losses."

After the bombardment, the red brick wall of the fortress was blasted with seven or eight gaps that were 20 to 30 meters wide. The troops participating in the war chose to break through the gaps and tried to rush into the fortress through the gaps.

The Germans in the fortress were also confused by the Soviet shelling. According to their previous experience, the targets of the enemy's shelling were the firepower points and city gates of the fortress. As long as the firepower points were destroyed and the city gates were blown open, the Russians would

They will try to rush in along the gate of the fortress.

But this time, there was no shelling of the city gates at all. Even the solid fire fortifications were not hit by many shells. The opponent's artillery fire was concentrated on the city wall. Now that the city wall has been blown down in seven or eight places, if you want to hold on to the fortress

, forces must be mobilized to plug these blasted gaps. However, in this way, the defense strength of many areas will inevitably be weakened.

But it would not work without blocking the gap. In that case, the Soviet troops would continue to pour into the fortress like a tide. Therefore, after a fierce ideological struggle, the commander of the fortress decided to put all the reserves into the battle and go to the fortress to be bombed.
