บท 77: Highway Murder
With most of the Russian army in chaos, Samsonov reluctantly sent two infantry divisions to block the German army, and he and hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers retreated to the border.
On the road where they came, dozens of checkpoints were no longer visible. German soldiers disguised as sentries were hiding on the hillsides and woods on both sides of the road, constantly firing at Russian soldiers.
Fighters, attack aircraft, and bombers continued to fly over the highway. They strafed, dropped bombs, climbed, hovered, strafed, and dropped bombs along the highway, causing a lot of damage to the crowded Russians.
"I knew there was a problem with those sentries!" Corporal Kapetanovic lay in the drain by the side of the road, snarling the fire and having nowhere to vent. In the morning when he borrowed fire from the sentry, he felt something was wrong, and then he reported to their company commander, but instead of being alert, the guy yelled at him, saying that he was okay. However, his company commander was blown to pieces by a bomb during the first air strike, which was considered retribution.
At this time, the Russian army was in chaos. The soldiers could no longer find their officers, and the officers could not find their own soldiers. No one organized troops to attack the German firepower on the roadside.
"You guys go up with me and kill the Germans in the woods over there! We can't let them slaughter our brothers like this anymore!" Kapetanovic gathered a dozen soldiers in the company.
"Kapetanovic, let's not try our best. The officers ran and died, so let's run away!" Some soldiers seemed to disagree, and some were empty-handed and didn't even know that they had lost their weapons. Where did it go.
"Okay! If you want to escape, let's run away, and the warrior who is willing to stay will go with me to unplug the German firepower!"
In the end only seven other people stayed. Kapetanovic asked them to take some more weapons and ammunition from the Russian soldiers who died on the road, and then they began to climb up the other side of the hillside, and the German bullets flew over their heads one by one.
"Get down!" Kapetanovic had just called out when two soldiers were shot and rolled off.
"Damn! Those timid artillery left all the artillery to the Germans!"
If there were infantry artillery at this time, these Russian soldiers would not have to risk climbing to the hillside, but even if their artillery retreated with heavy artillery, they would be blocked by the chaotic flow of people if they were not overtaken by the Germans.
Kapetanovic and the remaining five soldiers climbed up slowly like poor snails. After ten minutes, they finally came to the other side of the top of the mountain. They lay in the grass and looked away from them. The firepower of the German army was only a few meters away. There was only a Maxim, 3 light machine guns and a dozen German soldiers, but they killed at least hundreds of Russian soldiers in just one hour. The bullet shells all over the floor were the best. prove.
Under the cover of bushes and grass, they quietly touched over there.
"Everyone, listen to my command and rush over!" Kapetanovic tightly held the bayonet-mounted rifle. Their rifles couldn't shoot at each other's machine guns at all, and the damn officer didn't release the grenade. Into their hands.
"Rush!" Six Russian soldiers rushed from a distance of more than ten meters from the German firepower. Their behavior was not so much an offensive as it was a moth to the fire.
Bang bang ...
The two German officers fired at the brave Russians with Luger 08 in their hands. Kapetanovic and others fell in a pool of blood. They stared wide-eyed and watched the blue sky slowly turn red... …
Of the hundreds of firepower points on both sides of the road, only 40 were attacked by the Russians, and 24 of them were captured by the Russians. However, the Russians paid ten times more casualties than the Germans in order to capture those firepower points.
In the middle of the road, a Cossack cavalry general, surrounded by many guards, tried to maintain a calm demeanor. They rode high-headed horses slowly among the crowded people, like an island in the river, which was distinct from the surrounding crowds and chaos. Compared. Suddenly, the general shook his whole body and fell off his horse. His guards dismounted one after another and surrounded them, only to see a bullet hole suddenly appeared in their general's head.
In the bushes on the hillside not far away, Lieutenant Michael Rudra skillfully pulled the bolt and sent the next bullet into the barrel. This ace sniper, who had shown his talents on the Turkish battlefield, this time brought more than 300 snipers from the East Prussian Regiment sniper forces to ambush on both sides of the road, specializing in hunting officers from the Russian army. The cavalry general just now is his 29th prey today. The grass-green concealed cloth cover on his body makes him almost blend into the surrounding environment, so there is no need to move the position at all, and no Russian soldiers intend to rush to search. He is a killer.
As officers were killed in large numbers, the retreat of the Russian army became more and more like an escape. At dusk, the few remaining Russian guards had also retreated to the 40-kilometer-long road, and they hurried eastward across the bodies of countless companions.
In the villages next to the road, dozens of tanks, armored vehicles or motorcycles drove out of the haystacks and warehouses. They used machine guns and artillery to continuously torture and kill Russian soldiers crowded on the road. The power of bullets and artillery shells has been brought into full play at this time. The bullet of a Maxim heavy machine gun can almost penetrate the bodies of 2-3 Russians after being ejected, and the artillery shells that fall into the crowd seem to be invisible. The flames of the explosion would only explode a huge blood fountain with a muffled sound, and countless stumps of limbs scattered all around.
The Russians' spirits have almost collapsed. There is only one idea in everyone's brains-to run forward desperately and to survive across the border. More and more Russians are lying down on the 40-kilometer-long road, and the canals beside the road have been filled with Russian blood.
When night fell, the fierce gunfire did not mean anything to stop. The trance-stricken Samsonov was sandwiched by the guards and marched all the way. There were fewer and fewer Russian soldiers beside them, and the road became more and more difficult to walk. . But fortunately, they are finally approaching the end of the highway, and the border line is in front of them.
When the figure of the retreating Russian soldier appeared in the distance under the flames that kept breaking through the night, Lieutenant Deniklas dropped his cigarette butt and got into the tank. The long night of waiting has already made his toes itchy. The gunner stuffed the cannonball into the barrel, and he put his eyes tightly on the scope of the 37mm gun.
"Damn! Can't see anything!" Denicolas got out of the tank again, "Hey, Corporal, fire a flare at a distance of 1 kilometer ahead!"
With the sound of burning a match, the entire highway became bright, but it was not the light of the Holy Lord that illuminated the Russian soldiers, but the eyes of the devil.
boom! The whole tank shook, and a cannonball in the dark made a beautiful arc, rushing into the Russians who were walking towards this side staggeringly.
Samsonov was thrown out heavily, and his pupils dilated...
Then other tanks and rapid-fire guns also fired at the Russian army, and clouds of smoke rose from the road.
"Tank troops, go forward!" Deniklas shouted loudly, and 15 tanks rumbled into action, with a puff of smoke coming out of their tails.
The Russian soldiers running at the forefront saw a group of iron bumps slowly approaching them with horror. Strings of projectiles were continuously ejected from them, dragging white tails across the air, as if each The bullets were all towards themselves. They didn't know whether they should retreat or continue to flee in that direction, but the crowd coming from behind gave them no choice but to approach the monsters step by step.
The tank met the retreating crowd...
Cack Cack!
Deniklas in the tank could already hear the horrible sound of the tank breaking bones and blasting the skull, and the heart-piercing wailing of the Russian soldiers who had been crushed.
"Oh my God! We are in hell now!" Deniklas couldn't help shouting loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the noisy environment inside the tank. He and the loader alone controlled a machine gun and fired frantically at the surrounding crowd. Pieces of Russian soldiers fell straight down.
With machine guns, rifles, bayonets, fists, leather shoes and even teeth, Russian soldiers tried everything they could, but they had nothing to do with these iron guys. They had no choice but to use hand grenades in such a densely crowded place, and while damaging the tracks of two tanks, they also injured many of their own people, but the Russians no longer thought about so much.
The damaged tank stopped in the middle of the road and continued to shoot at the crowd. Soon after, other tanks also stopped. After the machine gun bullets on the tank ran out, the bloody road was finally opened by the Russians, and they rushed towards the border desperately...
The bloody night finally passed.
Dawn brings new hope, but some people cannot wait for the sun to rise. 123,000 Russian soldiers fell on the road to hope, 46,000 were captured, and only a few thousand remnants were able to cross the border and return to their homeland. In addition, more than 40,000 remained in Compinan forever. In front of the woods.
From August 17, the main force of the 1st Russian Army entered Germany with great pride, to the last Russian infantry who fled back to Russia in a panic in the early morning of August 21, it was only 5 days, the 1st and 2nd Army The serial number of the Tsarist Russian army was forever removed from the battle sequence of the Tsarist Russian army.
The bad news came back to Russia, and the cup in the czar's hand fell to the ground on the spot and shattered.
Half the world laughs for it, half the world weeps for it!
The Germans on the Western Front in Belgium spent 5 days defeating 120,000 people in 7 Belgian divisions with 34 divisions and 700,000 people. They occupied Brussels on August 8. However, the Belgian people did not give up their resistance. Afraid of rape, he rose up to resist and made outstanding contributions to the cause of the Allied Powers.
Prince Gigi William used 14 divisions and 250,000 people in East Prussia. It also took 5 days to wipe out 440,000 people from the two Russian armies. He scored a glorious victory of 270,000 enemies and captured 150,000. The Allies were silent.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was ecstatic and praised Chentian as the "Hannibal of Germany"!
Berlin bells rang in unison, successive victories have driven the German people into madness, and the streets are full of carnival scenes.
