WG官方史海钩沉：列林格勒围城战记录

Leningrad Siege Chronicles – Part 1

Hello everyone,

World of Tanks RU portal published an interesting article about the siege of Leningrad. The siege itself was an attempt of the German forces to literally starve the city of three million people to death, because they did not want to get heavily involved in city fighting – that city fighting almost always turns into a meatgrinder was a lesson they knew about, but would nevertheless experience by themselves through the horrors of Stalingrad.

WOT俄服官网发布了一篇关于列宁格勒围城战的文章。德军发动围城战的意图很明确，就是要通过围困使这座城市里的三百万人全部因饥饿而死。因为他们一点儿也不想再陷入城市巷战——那意味着又一场“绞肉机”恶战，但是他们不得不在不久之后的***格勒战役中遭遇这种恐怖体验。（译注：希特勒宣称“我军的目的在于包围这个城市，用炮击和连续不断的空中轰炸，把它夷为平地。把这个城市接管过来的任何要求，将不预考虑，因为全市居民的生存和供应他们食物的问题，不能由我们也不应该由我们解决。在一场争取生存的战争中，我们对这样一个大城市的人口连一部分也不想保留。”）

The city on river Neva was under siege for 872 days, the encirclement was only broken on 27.1.1944. To commemorate the event, Wargaming posted series of photos from Leningrad on their portal – here they are:

位于涅瓦河畔的这座城市被围困达872天之久，直到1944年1月27日才结束围攻。为了纪念这一事件，WG发布了一系列列宁格勒的图片——内容如下：

Leningrad until the war: a normal peaceful city

战役之前的列宁格勒：一座安宁祥和的城市

In August 1944, the fighting advanced toward Leningrad through the Krasnogvardeysk fortified area. By this time, people of Leningrad already heard the artillery shells.

1941年8月（校对：此处SS在俄译英时，时间错误），围城战役首先在克拉**伐迪斯克（译注：现名“加特契纳”，列宁格勒西南24公里处）的防御工事区域打响。这时列宁格勒城里的人们已经可以听到炮弹呼啸而过的声音了。

The fighting was brutal and at close range. Even tanks were used at point-blank distances. Here, captain L.Kukushkin crushed a Panzer II during combat.

这场战役异常残酷，而且作战距离极近，甚至坦克都被用来近距离对射。下图是L.Kukushkin上尉在战斗中驾驶坦克压上了一辆II号坦克。（话说这种把敌人压在胯下的图片是最适合宣传用的）

In September 1941, Luftwaffe started bombing Leningrad. Regardless of the efforts of its citizens, the bombs started many fires.

1941年9月，纳粹德国空军开始空袭列宁格勒。空袭根本不区分军事和平民目标，导致城市里好多地方都燃起了大火。

空袭的后果：丰坦卡河河堤上的炸弹坑。
