This basically a story where a german general is as good as Hannibal Barca (ie, he can beat back armies twice his size while only breaking a sweat). The war till stalingard is mostly the same except France falls a weak quicker because our OC general having dealt French a terrible defeat in Early phony war invasion and his mad push to paris. Let's assume his name is Erich Hoepner. Erich Hoepner is 35 years old, and is made commander of the 4th Panzer group fighting at stalingard. This guy very very patrotic and very very pragmatic, so he offers to protect Soviet citizen in exchange for information and guides. The story will start at the battle of Stalingard in October 21, 1942. I previously made a mistake of writing 1942 instead of 1941, I apologise for that.
The soviets were breaking order, the city was finally ours. I had never imagined the sewers to be the source of our victory, it had only been chancellor's own blessing that allowed the plan. Madness it would have been had it not worked, but The diversionary attack from our tanks hitting their flanks to the south while the lack of supply meant that a thousand soldiers sneaked by the sewers into the main Soviets lines. We had prepared the rest of our reserve to take back of position in the enemy's rear, the entire reverse commited in one area of trench and bullworks.
The only slaughter that happened on both sides, we lost 12,000 men taking the position and a further 8000 mopping up the remains. Fighting so fierce that we lost one of our general in combat. No victory would be in hand without securing our flank against the encirclement, 20,000 troops were the cost of the battle. Finally the soviet line near the river were thrown into choas, a signal was given to launch a advance against the enemy force and meet up with contingent of infiltrators fighting their way through the sewers. Fifty thousand took over the entire region of this City of blood, the fighting was still harder with 4000 men lost in the main force and 300 in the infiltrators.
We were winning and by the roughest of estimates our enemy had lost over three hundred thousand men in the slaughters of today. Luftwaffe had taken to all night bombing campaign to weaken enemy trenches and keep them occupied and weak for the largest single offensive in the war. This was no time for sleep, a fiery speech by General Erich had emboldened our soldiers. I would restrict myself from making said speech knowing my oratory skills were not as good.
Next day, 500 tanks rolled and crushed the final bastion of soviet resistance their planned counter encirlement. Another 23000 men were lost, a regretable number but appalled against the expected soviet causalities of nearly 180,000 soldiers. The Soviet Army had effectively ceased to exist in Stalingard. Battle lasted well into the night and I knew that finally mopping would take weeks more.
