After a period of silence, the battlefield became lively again. After the Soviet army completed its preparations, it began to attack. The first thing to act was the Soviet artillery troops. Thousands of cannons began to shell out after Malinovsky's attack order was issued. For a time, sand and stones flew on the German positions, and fires soared into the sky. After a few rounds of running, the artillery fire began to extend to the city. But to Malinovsky's surprise, the Germans did not take any action, as if they had disappeared.

The shelling was over, and 50 Soviet T34 tanks launched the attack first, and the Soviet infantry followed closely behind the tank, stepping on the slightly melting snow and advancing carefully. Malinovsky was watching nervously with a telescope behind. Malinovsky believed that under such a large-scale impact, he could soon rush into the city and quickly eliminate the German army in Stalingrad. He completed the order issued by Zhukov.

Suddenly, Malinovsky found something was wrong. His tanks seemed to be decreasing. It turned out that five of the tanks that charged disappeared. Malinovsky leaned against a T34 with his own eyes and suddenly sank down and disappeared. Novsky screamed, "What the hell is going on?"

It turned out that the tank trap that Kimda ordered was excavated played a role. Before the Soviet army arrived, Kimdada ordered the soldiers to dig a deep pit on the outer positions of Stalingrad that the tank could fall into. Then they spread it on it with cloth, and then the soldiers who dug the pit opened their trousers and started peeing on the cloth. At minus 30 degrees below the cloth, a layer of ice quickly formed on the cloth. Finally, it was covered with snow. People would never fall down when they walked up, and the weight of the tank could not bear it. Once they opened it, they were completely trapped and could never be pulled up. In Malinovsky's telescope, his tank seemed to be pulled into the bottomless hell by an invisible big hand.

While the tank fell into the trap, the Soviet 152mm heavy artillery seized by the German army also began to bombard the shells. The shells roared into the group of Soviet soldiers who were advancing, stirring up countless dust and gravel, and countless lives disappeared in the dust. But the Soviet soldiers did not stop moving forward. They stepped on the bodies of their companions, rushed over the shells that had passed by their heads, straightened their guns, followed the tank forward, and then moved forward.

Since the German army abandoned all the outer positions in Stalingrad, the Soviet army was only blocked by tank traps and heavy artillery. They soon approached the city and prepared to rush into the city and fight the German army.

The closest house to Stalingrad was only a few hundred meters away. Soviet soldiers saw hope and accelerated their pace of progress. It seemed that victory was right in front of them. At this time, countless steel helmets were revealed in the ruins in front of them. The German soldiers finally began to act, one, two, three, and countless machine guns were exposed. The gunshots sounded, and countless muzzles spit out orange flames. While the machine guns were fired, countless rocket launchers also spewed out sparks. A powerful fire net enveloped the Soviet soldiers in front of them, pulling them into blood and endless darkness.

Several 88mm anti-tank guns also exposed their muzzles. In the eyes of the Soviet tanks who were so scared that they almost pissed their pants, they fired at the advancing Soviet tanks. At the bombardment of such a distance, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, every time they fired, a T34 tank sparked and stopped operating.

Under such a high-intensity attack by the German army, the Soviet attack was quickly suppressed. In the German fire net, the bodies of countless Soviet soldiers fell down. The damaged tank wreckage was everywhere. Under the double mental and physical attack of the Germans, the Soviet soldiers finally collapsed. Someone took the lead, they chose to escape, and the Soviet army's first round of attack was defeated.

Malinovsky looked at all this in pain, and countless young lives fell on the position in front of him. Many of them had just joined the army, and many could not even find their bodies. The staff officer on the side stepped forward to "General, Marshal Zhukov called". As soon as Malinovsky heard Zhukov, he rushed up and angrily scolded "What did the pig-mouth man say again." The staff officer said, "Malinovsky, now he has received the latest report, and the German army on the southern front has begun to be mobilized. According to the information we have, the German army formed the Don River cluster, Hitler has re-appointed Guderian, and now this German army is under his command. If this German army launches an attack, I think the result is that you can imagine, so your troops must take Stalingrad as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in a state of no return."

When Malinovsky heard this, his heart sank. He understood what consequences would be if he didn't immediately take down Stalingrad. If Guderian rushed up, Malinovsky felt cold in his heart when he thought of this. He ordered, "Prepare for the second wave of attack immediately, we must take down Stalingrad as soon as possible."

Malinovsky understood in his heart that no matter how difficult it was, he had to take down the city in front of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Soviet army would suffer greater losses and more young lives would disappear. Could he capture the city in front of him? Malinovsky felt very confused about this.

In the battlefield department on the German front, when Wright saw the Soviet army retreat, he ordered "Everything to carry out a flowering plan everywhere and prepare to retreat soon. The Soviet artillery was about to open fire."
