Chapter 1086 Active Attack

As the country where the Kaiser is also the king, the Kingdom of Ukraine is considered to be very strong among the many protectorates of Germany. It has an army of 1.5 million, organized into six armies and several independent troops. Among them, it also includes two armored divisions, two heavy artillery brigades and two cavalry divisions.

Of course, most of the tanks equipped by the Ukrainian armored divisions are tanks eliminated by the German Army. But even so, the performance is also very advanced. At least, in the current world, there are very few who can crush them in terms of weapons and equipment.

The Ukrainian General Staff, Prime Minister Ferdorf and Minister of War Andrei arrived here early in the morning. Because the attack was launched in southwestern Ukraine, they did not rush to the front line.

"General Maxim, has the offensive begun?" Prime Minister Ferdorf asked.

Although, after independence from Russia, the strength of the Ukrainian kingdom has been greatly improved, but perhaps because it has been ruled and oppressed by Russia for a long time, the hearts of Prime Minister Ferdorf and others , All subconsciously had a little fear of Russia, for fear that their army would be defeated by the Russians.

"Your Excellency, the offensive has not yet begun. However, we should be able to defeat the Russians." Admiral Maxim said. Compared with Prime Minister Ferdorf, he is undoubtedly a little more confident. Because he knows better how powerful the Ukrainian army is.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, don't worry too much. Our army is still very powerful. After all, our army is equipped with German weapons. Although they were replaced by German troops, they are still considered advanced weapons. At least , are more advanced than the weapons of the Russian army. At the same time, in the past few years, German instructors have been helping us to train our troops. This has greatly strengthened the mental outlook and fighting will of the troops. As long as they do not encounter Bu Russia's real elite troops, we will definitely be able to defeat them." Andre also said.

"Rostov-on-Don is only a few tens of kilometers away from our border. With the speed of the 1st Army, 1st Armored Division, 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and 1st Cavalry Division, it can be reached there in two days. And nearby , There is no main force of the Russians, at most some border guards. We should be able to occupy Rostov-on-Don soon, and then withdraw before the main force of the Russians arrives. If this is the case, the Russians will have nothing to do with us. The safety of the troops can also be guaranteed," said Admiral Maxim.

At this moment, Prime Minister Ferdorf put his hanging heart back into his stomach.

"That is to say, this time we will let the Russians suffer a big loss, right?" Prime Minister Ferdorf asked.

"If there are no accidents, it should be like this!" Andre nodded.

"God! It's unimaginable that we Ukraine will take the initiative to attack Bu Russia one day. You know, Bu Russia is stronger than Tsarist Russia at the beginning!" Prime Minister Ferdorf sighed.

"Your Excellency, this time we will not only attack Russia, but we will also completely defeat Russia. The German Empire has been preparing for this war for a long time. With the strength of the German Empire, it is impossible for the Russians to It can withstand it." Admiral Maxim was very confident in Germany's military strength. He also firmly believes that the German Empire will definitely defeat Russia this time.

"Well, I also believe that the German Empire will win the final victory. As the protectorate of the German Empire, the Kingdom of Ukraine also needs to do its best in this battle. Russia is our biggest enemy, and only Russia will perish Only then can we be truly safe. Our people will not worry about being enslaved by Russia for generations to come!" Prime Minister Ferdorf said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Both Andre and General Maxim replied loudly. As the generals of the Kingdom of Ukraine, they naturally hope that their army can perform better in this battle.

On the front line, the Ukrainian Army's 1st Army Command, Lieutenant General Vladimir is using a telescope to observe the battle on the front line. Half an hour earlier, Ukrainian troops had started shelling. Because of German intelligence support, the Ukrainian army was very clear about the deployment of the Russian army on the border before the attack.

The Ukrainian Army assembled hundreds of cannons and launched a fierce shelling attack on the 189th Division of the Russian border guards. It was morning at this time, and the Russian soldiers hadn't gotten up yet. When the shells fell into the barracks, many people were awakened. They ran out of the barracks before they even had time to put on their trousers. There are even quite a few Russian soldiers who lost their lives in their sleep.

After heavy shelling, Ukrainian troops launched the attack. The 1st Armored Division of the Ukrainian Army took the lead. The tanks used by this armored division are all the "Leopard 1" or "Leopard 2" tanks used by the German armored forces before, and their performance is far from comparable to the "Black Panther" tanks currently equipped by the German armored forces. However, the Ukrainian army is already content with this.

Hundreds of tanks formed a torrent of steel and rushed towards the territory of Bu Russia.

The tracks of the tank crushed across the border, and rushed towards the position of the Russian border guards.

The violent shelling before made the Russian border guards dizzy. As the border guards, they are only the second-line troops of the Russian Army, with poor equipment and weak fighting will. It's not a problem to bully those ordinary people and arrest a few fugitives at ordinary times. However, it would undoubtedly be difficult for them to fight against the enemy's fierce attack.

What's more, the Ukrainian Army has used a large number of tanks and heavy artillery this time. Such weapons and equipment are even stronger than the Russian field troops. This naturally made the Russian border guards think that their enemies were not Ukrainians at all, but powerful Germans. It seems that only the Germans can be equipped with so many advanced weapons.

Under such circumstances, can these border guards be expected to stick to their positions? They fled before armored units of the Ukrainian Army rushed in front of them. Although they are not good at fighting, their ability to escape is undoubtedly good. Otherwise, they would not have been stationed on the border for so long.

The vulnerability of the Bu-Russian army greatly inspired the Ukrainian army. At the same time, the fear in my heart completely dissipated because of this. More than 200,000 troops, after crossing the border, went directly to Rostov-on-Don.
