even if people are no longer loyal(1/3)
The loss of the port of Stalingrad is simply an explosion of bombs to Russia, which is struggling to support the city.
This port is really important. It maintains the lifeline of the entire Stalingrad defense battle. Once lost, Stalingrad will basically become a dead city that has completely lost any foreign reinforcements.
Then failure is already predictable.
And now, such a terrible situation is emerging.
After learning about this emergency, Huasilevsky, who was commanding on the other side of the Volga River, immediately made an order to regain the port at all costs, and this task fell directly on General Cuikov.
At this time, Cui Kov was also very passive. He had to resist one wave after another of crazy attacks from the German army, but also had to disperse the originally small force to retake the port.
Now, the time has come to test both sides.
.

.
.
.
The 171st Infantry Division, which was originally in the port, quickly entered the counterattack, and the 57th Armored Brigade was also immediately engaged in the battle for the port.
Even the workers' brigade commanded by Yaxinlev was involved in the fierce battle.

At the same time, Huasilevsky ordered that the few Soviet troops on the other side of the river also launched an attack on the port of Stalingrad at the same time.
The only ones who stand here are the Myristel battle group and the two thousand Russian Free Army commanded by Liaokov. They must withstand attacks from both sides and have been waiting for the arrival of the 123rd Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces who are reinforcing.
Of course, they have the support of the Luftwaffe, and at the same time, they also have the seized Soviet artillery, which will build their solid and powerful defense foundation.
At this time, Wang Weiyi also issued a death order to the 123rd Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces. He had to arrive at the Port of Stalingrad in the shortest time and firmly defend the port to make all his efforts for the final victory of the entire Stalingrad battle.
The terrible and tragic battle for the Port of Stalingrad broke out under such circumstances.
Soldiers from Germany and the Soviet Union fought fiercely at this port. Both sides fired cannons at the same time, and artillery shells continued to destroy the place.
The Soviet charge troops launched waves of attacks, attempting to completely submerge the place with their number of advantages. The defenders defending here rely on the advantages of the air force and the support of artillery, and persisted hard.
The battle was full of cruelty, and every minute and every second both sides were suffering extremely terrible casualties. Here, the Russian Free Army commanded by Liaokov became the most important defensive force.
They were suffering from repeated impacts from the front, and fortunately, they had sufficient weapons and ammunition. Of course, this requires "thanks" to the Soviet army for their help.
There were a large amount of supplies piled up on the port. As long as the Soviet army did not rush up, they would have enough bullets to kill every enemy.

Liao Kev told himself that he had given up this time. Since he surrendered to the Germans, he would never have a way out.
And he knew more clearly that as long as he could persevere this time, the recovery of the glory of the Chikachev family would be just around the corner.
Driven by this mentality, Liao Kov showed an extremely fierce attitude. When some positions were shaken, he personally shot several officers and stabilized the front line in the most timely manner.
To be honest, these Russians are still very good at fighting, especially those trained by German officers, who have shown certain combat standards. In addition, they ignored the shooting of bullets, which actually made the situation seem precarious, but there was no sign of collapse.
At this time, the 123rd Infantry Division of the German Wehrmacht was very close to here.
.
.

Myristel and his commandos are also doing their best.
They used the captured cannons to block the Russian ships that appeared on the river like crazy, and bombarded the Russian tanks like crazy.
The shells flew overwhelmed. Although these commandos who temporarily acted as gunners did not have much accuracy, a large number of shells were enough to create a great deterrence on the battlefield.
The battle immediately entered a stalemate.
.

This happened on the morning of April 22, 1943.
As time passed by minute by minute, the battle situation began to tilt towards the side that was favorable to the Germans. The vanguard of the 123rd Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces had arrived and launched an attack on the Soviet army as soon as possible.
The situation that the Soviet army was most reluctant to see was still there.
At the same time, in order to cooperate with the battle at the port, Wang Weiyi timely joined the reserve team to launch large-scale attacks on the pier, Mamayevgang and other places.
The offensive and defensive battle in Stalingrad has reached its most critical moment.
.
.
.
.
.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, the 123rd Infantry Division of the German Wehrmacht Force completed a breakthrough against the Soviet army and completed its timely convergence with the Myriester battle group and Liaokov. The defensive power of the Stalingrad port was greatly strengthened, and the Soviet army's fierce offensive was interrupted.
But it is obvious that the Soviet army did not intend to give up just like this. They knew very well the importance of the port to the entire city. Not only was this the most important supply location, but if the Germans stood firm here, they could continue to launch raids on the remaining small ports. Once such a situation arises, all the supply in the entire Stalingrad will be completely cut off.!
This is by no means what they want to see.
Under the most severe order of Marshal Huasilevsky, the Soviet army launched an almost crazy offensive.
.
.
.
.
.
They once again charged without caring about their lives and attack without caring for casualties. A large number of officers also directly joined the charge, not considering the enemy's artillery fire or the enemy's bullets.
They are not fighting for their beliefs at this time, but fighting for their direct survival.
The battle that took place here on the 22nd was the battle that was least forgotten and least willing to be remembered in the entire Stalingrad offensive and defensive battle.
The corpse blocked the battlefield so tightly that there was almost no place for people to settle down.
.
.
.
.
.
Batches of Soviet soldiers were thrown into the attack, and batches of German reinforcements continued to appear on the battlefield. Now, the entire Stalingrad port has become a top priority.
Huasilevsky was paying close attention here, and Wang Weiyi was paying close attention here.
