就这个话题，讲一个女民兵可歌可泣真实的故事。1942夏，德第六集团军进攻斯大林格勒时，首次遇到的抵抗是来自一群高中刚毕业的女民兵。
苏军根本没有预料到，德军1942年夏季攻势的主方向是南线的巴库和斯大林格勒。以致德第六集团军的突击坦克部队，在进军斯大林格勒一路如入无人之境。但他们在市郊突然遭到了苏联女民兵顽强的炮火抵抗。
这些女民兵隶属刚组建的苏军1077高炮团。该团的任务是市区的防空。由于其任务的性质是非一线步兵作战，战士们全部都是市区高中刚毕业的女生。由于时间仓促，她们的训练严重不足。更要命的是，当她们遭遇德军坦克部队时，身边没有苏军步兵的协同掩护。 这些还是孩子的女民兵们，放平了她们的高射炮管，与德军坦克部队进行了殊死的较量。
接下来发生的，我就不翻译了：
For two days, the 1077th fought shot for shot against hundreds of enemy tanks, thousands of enemy troops and aerial attacks from the German air force, the Luftwaffe. According to official Soviet records, the young women of the regiment destroyed or damaged 83 tanks, 15 armored personnel carriers, dispersed three battalions of infantry and down 14 enemy planes.
The Germans didn't discover who was manning the flak guns until they wiped them out, destroying 37 positions. After defeating the young gunners, the 16th Panzer Division referred to the 1077th's "tenacious fighting women," which is as close to a compliment one might find from an enemy during the Battle of Stalingrad.
