What are the characteristics of street fighting? What are the worst street battles in world history?

In the street fighting, snipers dodged each other's shots, and the city turned into a rubble field, with corpses lying everywhere ... It was a gloomy atmosphere, which was really horrible! Because of the complex terrain and close combat, both sides suffered heavy casualties, so street fighting is known as "city meat grinder" and "war in hell" Street fighting is difficult, as everyone who has been a soldier knows. Street fighting is also commonly called "urban warfare" because it is a street-by-street and house-by-house battle between streets and lanes, usually in cities or large villages. Street fighting has the following two remarkable characteristics: first, hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat, and cruelty. Because almost all the battles are based on infantry light fire assault, and they are all carried out within sight range, the terrain is complex and unpredictable, so in street fighting, heavy weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles are useless. There are dense buildings and high-rise buildings in the city, and tanks and armored vehicles, which provide the main fire support, cannot lift the gun barrel to a sufficient height due to their own structural limitations, so they cannot effectively shoot high targets. Narrow streets also prevent tanks and other large chariots from turning around, making their sides and tails vulnerable to attack. In street fighting, the mobility of troops is seriously restricted; The limited field of vision makes it very inconvenient to observe, shoot and cooperate. In many cases, the combat formation of troops is divided and they have to be dispersed into various units to fight independently. Second, they are mixed with each other, jagged and dangerous. Because there is no clear front, the enemy and the enemy are mixed, and the enemy and the civilians are mixed, forming a stalemate between you and me, while the attacking party is in the light and the defending party is hiding in the dark, which further increases the difficulty and risk of street fighting. Tall buildings and underground bunkers are good places to hide snipers. "You don't know who the enemy is until others shoot at you", and where the bullets come from. Surprise ambushes and impossible-to-prevent snipers often make attackers tremble with fear and fall into the shadow of panic and anxiety. The war frightened us, and street fighting frightened the war. Once war is inevitable, street fighting becomes the best choice for the weak to deal with the strong. Everyone knows that street fighting is really a meat grinder, and the losses of both the winner and the loser are amazing. 1. Stalingrad street fighting, the city's "meat grinder" opponent: German army VS Soviet army. The fighting time: July 17, 1942 ~ February 2, 1943, Stalingrad street fighting, which was the first large-scale street fighting in the true sense of modern war, was also a veritable "city meat grinder". Its tragic degree can be described as unparalleled in the world and unprecedented. This street fighting concerns the faces of two totalitarian leaders: Stalin wants to keep the city named after him; Hitler wants to wash away his shame here where the legend of Blitzkrieg ended. In July 1942, the Germans invaded Stalingrad with superior forces. The arrogant Germans tried to flatten the city, a symbol of the supreme commander of the Soviet Union, with the tried and tested blitzkrieg, but they soon found themselves in a deep pit full of death. Under Stalin's strict order that "no step back", the Soviet army relied on the complex terrain and numerous artificial buildings in the city to fight to the death with the enemy. A floor, a room, a water tower, a section of railway subgrade, even a wall and a pile of rubble can trigger a fierce battle. The ruins captured by the Germans at great cost were recaptured by the Soviets in an instant. The train station changed hands repeatedly as many as 13 times. The whole Stalingrad was ablaze and bloody. The enemy and I fought to the death, and when the bullets were finished, they started a white-edged fight. The tank came up and rushed over with grenades tied to them. Under the desperate resistance of Soviet soldiers and civilians, the Germans suffered heavy casualties and could not move, and the harsh winter weather that followed made them even weaker. In February 1943, the Soviet Union launched a counterattack, and the German army, exhausted by street fighting, was annihilated, and the Sixth Army suffered a devastating blow. The Battle of Stalingrad became the turning point of World War II, and Nazi Germany began to retreat. After the war, 14, German bodies were buried in the suburbs of Stalingrad. 2. Berlin street fighting, the biggest opponent of street fighting in history: Soviet army VS German army Time: April 26, 1945 ~ May 2, 1945. Berlin street fighting is by far the largest street fighting of mankind, and its scale is much larger than the Battle of Stalingrad. The battle was of great significance to the Soviets, because when Berlin was captured, it marked the collapse of the Third Reich. For Germany, the significance is also extremely great, because this battle is also the last hope of the Third Reich. As long as the Soviets can be defeated in this battle, it is possible for the Third Reich to reach an agreement with the Western allies to keep the Third Reich alive. On April 15, 1945, to the dismay of the Germans, the Soviets soon came for revenge-the Soviets launched an attack and besieged Berlin for 11 days. In one day, the Soviet army fired 1.2 million shells, leaving more than 4, German soldiers lying in piles on the banks of the Nice River and spree river. The Soviets have no pity. This is a battle between the Avengers and the Desperate. Most Soviet soldiers set foot in Berlin for the first time in their lives. They don't know the direction at all, only know to rush forward. As a result, many bullets came at me and knocked them down in batches. That day was April 26th, 1945. Although Soviet tanks bombed more than 2 million buildings in the city, they failed to destroy the firepower from the ruins. The Soviets were in trouble, and Berlin became the tomb of tanks. These behemoths were blown up by anti-tank rockets and incendiary bottles in the dark, and stood in the narrow streets, blocking the progress of tanks behind them. The biggest street fighting in the last hundred years has begun. The infantry without the cover of tanks could not move, and they became the targets of the Germans in vain. Later, only the Soviets knew that the Germans had made all preparations for this street fighting, and every building was reinforced and converted into a defensive fortress; Every window was blocked with bricks, leaving only shooting holes. The Germans even invented a curved barrel to deal with the attackers at the corner. Stationed in Berlin are the most elite and loyal SS and National Guard in the German army, hiding in sewers, rubble or roofs. Because of despair, they have gone completely mad and become extremely vicious. Similarly, the Soviet army has entered an unprecedented state of madness, and the fire of revenge has burned them hard to suppress, even though thousands of comrades fall at their feet every day. General zhukov adjusted his tactics-breaking the tank forces into parts, dispersing them into several groups, and forming a strike group with infantry, artillery and engineers to conquer the German fortresses one by one. Soviet soldiers put mattresses on the tank to ease the blow from their opponents. Under the cover of smoke bombs, Soviet troops rushed into sewers and buildings and launched a melee with the Germans. It was a crazy battle! It's just that a group of "crazy people" are beating another group of "crazy people", which is even more tragic than the street fighting in Stalingrad. Fighting broke out one after another, just after the end of this defense zone, it was immediately launched in another defense zone. Hitler committed suicide on April 3, and the German Nazis did not stop there. It was not until May 2 that the German army, seeing the tide was gone, surrendered under the leadership of General Weidinger. However, in this short period of six days, more than 1, Soviet soldiers were killed. In this battle, German soldiers suffered more than 3, casualties, more than 3, were captured, and the death toll of German civilians was as high as 2,. The price paid by the Soviets was more than 4, casualties. In this battle, both Germany and the Soviet Union emerged a large number of epic warriors. 3. Street fighting in Mogadishu, killing all those who move: American peacekeepers VS Somalis Time: October 3, 1993 Street fighting in Mogadishu, which was the shortest battle in the history of street fighting, but its influence and significance were unusual, and it was well known by the world because of the movie Black Hawk Down. On October 3, 1993, the U.S. peacekeeping forces in Somalia dispatched Black Hawk helicopters and commandos to encircle Aideed, Somalia's largest warlord. Before that, the anti-American armed forces led by Aided used ambush guerrilla tactics, which made the U.S. military suffer enough. This time, the American troops were ambushed again, and fell into the mire of street fighting they feared most in the streets and lanes of Mogadishu. Hundreds of people almost turned into killers in an instant, and even some women and children were not skilled at shooting with weapons. Because the narrow streets were blocked by roadblocks, the follow-up troops of the US military could not get reinforcements in time. After half a day of fighting, 19 American commandos were killed and two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down. The next day, the Somali people dragged the body of an American soldier to the streets to celebrate. This shot was photographed by a reporter, which caused an uproar in the United States. Under the pressure of all parties, Clinton had to announce her withdrawal from Somalia soon. 4. Grozny street fighting, Russia's trembling opponent: Russian army VS Chechen illegal armed time: 1994 ~ 1995, the first street fighting; From December 25, 1999 to February 2, the second street fighting was Grozny street fighting, which was the most cruel and bloody street fighting after the Vietnam War. Since 1994, Russian troops and Chechen illegal armed forces have successively erupted two large-scale street battles in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Grozny was designed in accordance with the requirements of operational fortresses when it was built, so the fortresses in the city are dotted and dense as cobwebs, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the local dialect, Grozny means terrible and cruel. The two street battles that broke out here were the bloodiest battles after the Vietnam War, and it was famous for "making the Russian army tremble". Russian troops entered the city as if they were in a maze, unable to touch the north, but unable to play with superior weapons and equipment. However, Chechen snipers can hide in the dark with their familiar terrain and shoot targets one by one like practicing shooting. When the first street fighting ended in 1995, Grozny killed thousands of Russian soldiers. It is said that only one officer and 1 soldiers left alive in a combat regiment with more than a thousand people killed in the urban area; Twenty of the 26 Russian tanks that entered the city were destroyed; 12 armored vehicles lost 12 vehicles. Chechen illegal armed forces even built the dead bodies of Russian troops into sandbags and built them together into "human blockhouses" on the streets, which made the dead people lose their last dignity. The second street fighting in Grozny took place from December 25, 1999 to February 2. The Russian army was covered with corpses, and 1,173 soldiers were killed. Even Major General Malofeyev, the commander-in-chief of the Russian front line, was shot dead. In fact, the street fighting in Grozny is a sniper's war. Russian petty officer Herbades wrote in his battlefield diary: "The brothers next to me fell down one by one, and everyone had small round bullet holes in his forehead ..." On January 18th, snipers even shot Major General Malofeyev, commander-in-chief of the Russian Grozny front-two shots in the head and one in the back, which was fatal. Fierce, decisive and well-informed Chechen illegal armed snipers are scattered all over the city. They hide in the shadows, each with a machine gunner and a rocket launcher. This three-person team is very lethal, fast moving, and has three kinds of firepower combinations: far-middle-near, which is simply the "golden combination" of urban street fighting. The helpless Russian President Vladimir Putin later ordered the bombing of Grozny, but this tiny town has become an eternal pain in the hearts of Russian soldiers.
