How many Russian troops would storm Stalingrad if not for the _Russian_ machine guns aimed at their backs?
You do understand, don't you, that for the first six months of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans were attacking the city and the Soviets were desperately hanging on while slowly being pushed back against the Volga? And, for most of the last three months, the surrounded Germans were being besieged and starved out. Yes, there have been times that Soviet security forces have forced the front line troops into combat, but this wasn't one of them.
