Kapitel 98: shells hit

After being bombarded by German planes and shelling for more than an hour, the Russian army's position has become a piece of scorched earth. The pitted ground makes people feel as if they are on the surface of the moon. The two small villages occupied by the Russian army have also been hit. Many small villages have been hit. There are only broken walls left in the house, the harvested fields are full of burnt ashes, many trenches have been mutilated, and the wounded soldiers wailing and moaning in pain are everywhere.

Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted from the center of the originally lifeless Russian army position. Soon, the cheers spread to the entire Russian army position.

"It seems that they have also got the news that the Russian army in the east has captured Kimon!" In the distance of the German army command, Matthew sighed deeply. He had not told his soldiers about the news.

"Indeed, this news has become their life-saving straw, and their resistance will become very strong next!" Olger looked worried at this time. In the afternoon, they launched a large-scale attack and finally captured the Russian army. Outer positions, but their own losses are not small. Under such circumstances, they should have waited for the morale, physical strength, ammunition, and spirit of the Russian army to drop to the lowest point or even collapse before launching an offensive, but now they don't have much time.

"Casualties are inevitable. We should charge desperately until all these Russians are annihilated!" François said disdainfully. His 1st Army rushed the most in the afternoon battle, with casualties. Also the biggest.

"General Francois, after we have eliminated this Russian army, we will still fight against the Russian army that surrounded us. Now we should try our best to preserve our vitality. I heard that we are surrounded by Russia's most elite guards!" Org's armored army Now that they have been transferred halfway, there are only more than 50 armored vehicles and more than 900 motorcycles that can be used for offensive purposes. The combat effectiveness is already not as good as before. Fortunately, the morale of the German soldiers who do not know that they have fallen into a larger encirclement is still very strong.

"What about the Guards? I'm going to show the Russians what an elite is!" François thumped the table excitedly, in his eyes the Russians seemed to belong to the sheep.

"Yeah! We must resolve the Russians here as soon as possible. I suggest attacking again and attacking with all my strength!" Matthew's words were immediately agreed by Francois. Olgers pondered for a while and agreed. The Russians had obviously run out of ammunition in the afternoon's battle, and it was very likely to win a fierce attack.

"Well then! Let's prepare separately. We will launch a total attack in half an hour! This time we can only prepare for half an hour of artillery fire. There are not many shells. Almost the remaining shells of the entire legion are now with us!"

Then they This situation was reported to the Corps Command. Chen Tian was busy at this time arranging the armor and motor forces transferred from the Panzer Corps to cooperate with an infantry division of the 3rd Corps to be stationed north of Bialystok to prevent Kymon's Russians. The army launched an offensive from the north. He didn't have a better way for the Russian army to the west, so he approved their plan.

As Olger estimated, the Russian soldiers of General Ruzsky only had 4 bullets in their hands-on average, which was not enough to fill the rifle compartments. Many machine guns had been "ran out of food." The food they raided from nearby villages. It was not enough for them to eat dinner, and many soldiers even picked up the ears of wheat "interestingly". But at this time Luzsky was full of confidence. He firmly believes that Aglieni's troops will soon relieve himself. He will soon become one of the heroes who defeated the German army. Then they can march eastward, defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, break into the German territory, and finally win the victory. Prosperity and wealth. Thinking of this, Luzsky swept away the gloom on his face for a day, and then he began to drive his soldiers to dig trenches. In fact, this area has been dug out of shape, with trenches and foxholes everywhere. Luzsky called it "stopping German armored vehicles." In the eyes of German soldiers and the Polish people, it was serious damage to the environment. Many Poles even threatened to dig Luzsky's garden. In any case, Luzsky's soldiers were digging tirelessly. It was not until the German shells fell again that they hid in the trenches like mice.

The earth shook again, and the pungent saltpetre smell had become the most familiar thing for soldiers. The German artillery squeezed the cannonballs into the barrel with joy as if a few or a dozen Russian soldiers would fall when this cannon popped out. In fact, the lethality of these cannonballs increased with the Russian trenches. The deeper it becomes, the smaller it gradually becomes.

In less than half an hour, the German artillery stopped. As usual, the Russian soldiers looked up and saw a large number of German vehicles and soldiers in front of the position. 30,000 German soldiers charged from two directions in the northeast. To the west, 52 armored vehicles, 700 motorcycles, and 8,000 infantrymen also flooded like a tide.

Every Russian soldier received an order from his superiors: fight the bayonet after shooting the bullet, the bayonet broke the butt, and the butt was rotten with his fist, in any case, he must block the German attack!

Matthew and François are no longer in the mood or interest to arrange their infantry into a neat infantry phalanx. Anyway, the Russian artillery has already been misfired, and the wave of soldiers rushed straight up like this. At that time, the Russian army still shot sporadic machine guns. After a while, only the rifle sound was left. Finally, even the rifle did not speak. A long Russian soldier climbed out of the trench, slammed the bayonet, and then began to charge. To the German army. In the face of the huge gray wave, the black lines appeared to be much thinner, but as more and more Russian soldiers crawled out of the trenches, the two sides seemed more and more evenly matched.

Time went back to the cold weapon era this time. Soldiers from both sides rushed into each other's queue holding their bayonets diagonally, and the sound of fierce metal collisions was endless. Compared with fighting, both sides have the same physical conditions. The Russians admire bayonet skills and practice more at ordinary times. However, the German soldiers are physically and mentally better than each other at this time. The difference in number is not very large. At this time, the army using cold weapon tactics was stuck in a stalemate.

At this time, Ogle's armored forces attacking from the south became the hope of the German army to break the deadlock, but they were attacked by the Russians' meat bomb tactics.

A German armored combat vehicle was stumbling forward in a field where the potholes were difficult to navigate. The driver stared at the narrow observation slot, suddenly trying to bypass the wide and long trenches dug by Russian soldiers, and suddenly avoiding German artillery fire. The crater left by the car was so bumpy that the soldiers in the car were a little dizzy and nauseous. They still have to shoot at the Russian soldiers who jumped out of the trenches at any time, really embarrassed. Just after going around the ninety-nine eighty-one roads. A Russian soldier suddenly appeared on the right side of the armored vehicle. What horrified everyone was that the guy still had a small bundle of grenades in his hand, and he rushed forward with lightning speed. With a loud bang, the armored car exploded a huge ball of fire by the way, and only one car frame was left under the blazing flame.

"Pay attention to all vehicles and don't let the Russians come near!" A man with the appearance of a commander poked his head out of his armored car and yelled at the surrounding armored cars. The soldiers in the armored vehicle are highly concentrated. The Russians were often cross-fired by several machine guns as soon as they jumped out of the trenches.

Finally, the armored forces penetrated hundreds of meters into the hinterland of the Russian army. Behind them, the infantry followed hundreds of motorcycles slowly on the potted ground. At this time, the front armored vehicles suddenly fell into the Russian trap and couldn't move. Then several grenades flew out of the nearby trenches, and the soldiers on the armored vehicles had to jump out of the car in embarrassment. Retreat while shooting. Other armored vehicles also found that they could no longer advance. The Russians dug wide trenches on the ground there. Armored vehicles and motorcycles had to park on the trench for fire support, and the infantry rushed through the trenches alone.

At this point, Olger had already lost 17 armored vehicles, 12 of which were trapped by the Russians, and his infantry quickly fell into a bayonet battle.

Just when Francois' infantry gradually gained the advantage in hand-to-hand combat, a large black shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance. From the telescope, Francois saw tens of thousands of Russian cavalry coming from near the small village. In terms of numbers, the Russian cavalry has come out all over the place.

"Machine gun ready! The artillery aimed at the opposing cavalry for 5 minutes and fired quickly!"

Soon, the German artillery shells exploded among the Russian cavalry. As shrapnel flew, pieces of war horses and cavalry crashed down. They became the ghosts of the follow-up troops, but they did not pay most of the cavalry on the road to the German infantry because of the German artillery and the dense machine gun fire on the flanks of the infantry phalanx. However, the remaining cavalry successfully rushed into the mixed one. Among the regiment's German-Russian infantry, the superiority of the cavalry is undoubtedly manifested at this time. They slashed and killed the German soldiers, but the dominant German infantry gradually couldn't hold back and began to retreat.

Gradually, the German infantry disengaged from the opponent, but at this time the Russians did not pursue or withdraw from the trenches. Instead, they stood on the flat ground and cheered and celebrated. The cavalry kept waving their sabers and running back and forth.

"Stupid Russian!" François spit out contemptuously. When the German soldiers got behind the machine gun, the Russian found out that he was still within range of the opponent's heavy machine gun. It was just a moment ago. The fierce battle between the two sides made the terrifying machine guns no room for use.

"Shoot!" François gave this order so firm and so cheerful. Hundreds of heavy machine guns rattled. The Russian soldiers fell straight down in rows like straws, and the cavalry on tall horses was punched with blood through the flying bullets. Thick bullet shells quickly piled up at the feet of the machine gunners. When the machine gun stopped shooting, the clink of the last few bullets hitting the bullet shells on the ground was so crisp. At this time, there was no standing life left on the Russian army's position. Many horses convulsed in the blood, wailing and groaning everywhere.

"Charge!" A loud shout erupted from the German infantry who had just been forced to withdraw to the position, and the sharp bayonet was raised again. This time Francois had no reservations, and all the reserve teams joined the assault queue.

Matthew's 4th Army was progressing most smoothly. With a single charge of his infantry, he destroyed the few Russian troops opposite him. The entire land was full of gray uniforms running, and a small piece of the Russian army was surrounded and engulfed by them. . Half an hour later, the last Russian soldier stopped resisting.

The stubborn shell of the Russian army in the west was finally smashed, and more than a hundred thousand German soldiers wielded their weapons and shouted indulgently. They didn't know that they would soon be fighting a more powerful enemy outside.
