Chapter 1438 Vitality (seeking monthly ticket)

During last year's battle and the winter's defensive battle, some of the armies of Germany's protectorate and vassal state participated in the fierce battle on the front line. Although, the combat effectiveness of the servant army is not as good as that of the German army, and its equipment is not as good as that of the German army. But they performed very well in battle. Facing the fierce attack of the Russian army, they not only held the line of defense, but also caused great casualties to the Russian army.

Even in the brutal street fighting, he performed very well. Although the casualties were a little higher, they had gone through the test of blood and fire after all. Compared with those troops that have not been on the battlefield, there is definitely an essential difference.

At least, the combat effectiveness of the armies of the Kingdom of Ukraine, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Belarus, the three Baltic states, and Finland is guaranteed. Therefore, the commanders on the front line boldly use these servants to participate in the attack.

"Order the infantry divisions to set off immediately. The German army has surrounded those Russians. Next, we just need to kill those Russians!" Lieutenant General Saker, commander of the Polish 1st Army, issued an order.

Ten infantry divisions and one mechanized infantry division of the Polish 1st Army immediately followed the German army, broke through the Russian defense line, and entered the Russian position.

Other Polish troops and Belarusian troops also participated in the attack. Even the Hungarian army and the Bohemian army, although they had not been on the battlefield, sent some troops to attack together. Although these troops are not considered elite, they are barely able to display some combat effectiveness after being baptized on the battlefield.

Several other groups also sent servants to the battlefield. There is no way around this, the German army still has too few troops. Five group groups, a total of only twenty German army groups, only four million people. The current strength of the Russian army exceeds 10 million. Even if the German army can defeat the Russian army with its strong combat effectiveness, its own casualties will obviously not be too small. In that case, it is not very cost-effective. Besides, under the strong demand of Germany, these slave countries formed a huge army. Wouldn't it be too wasteful if left unused? Even if ten soldiers from the slave state were killed in battle, it would be worthwhile to reduce the loss of one German soldier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In an encirclement circle, the two infantry corps of the 20th Army under the jurisdiction of the Western Front of the Russian Army were surrounded here. Only one mechanized infantry corps and one infantry division were lucky and escaped early.

At this moment, the German armored forces outside the encirclement had withdrawn, and two German infantry divisions and five Polish infantry divisions took over the battle here. Under the leadership of the German infantry division, the Polish army launched a fierce attack on the Russian army in the encirclement.

The cannons fired fiercely into the encirclement, and the shells fell on the Russian positions in the encirclement, reaping the lives of those Russian soldiers. The Russian artillery was completely lost at the beginning of the German offensive. So much so that they had to bear passively in the face of the fierce German shelling. Even the artillery strength of the servants of the German army is higher than that of the Russian army.

"Attack!" The bombardment lasted less than half an hour, and the commander of the German infantry division gave the order to attack.

Two German infantry divisions and five Polish infantry divisions immediately attacked.

"Quick, quick! The Germans are coming up, counterattack!" The officers of the Russian army issued combat orders. They drove the soldiers who survived the heavy German shelling into positions to resist the German attack.

Although, the two Russian infantry corps in the encirclement have a total of six infantry divisions and a strength of more than 50,000 troops. However, they were attacked by German armored forces before, and the troops suffered heavy losses. At the same time, heavy weapons were also lost, and now the morale of the troops is in a low state again. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to resist the German attack.

Under the continuous attack of the German and Polish armies, the 61st and 69th infantry armies under the Russian 20th Army suffered more and more losses, and the defense area became smaller and smaller.

Three days later, the two infantry corps were wiped out by the Germans. More than half were killed, and the rest surrendered.

Another mechanized infantry corps and an infantry division of the Russian 20th Army did not escape bad luck. The Russian 7th Mechanized Army was attacked by the German 884th Mechanized Infantry Division and suffered heavy losses. The remaining troops were also surrounded. In the ensuing battle, the German army dispatched an infantry division and four Belarusian infantry divisions to launch a fierce attack on the Russian army in the encirclement. After paying some price, all the Russian troops in the encirclement were wiped out.

Although, the German army has far fewer troops on the Eastern Front than the Russian army. However, after adding the army of the slave country, the balance of military strength between the two sides changed fundamentally immediately.

This allowed the German army to have enough troops to annihilate the Russian army in the encirclement. Otherwise, relying solely on the strength of the German army, it would be difficult to take care of every encirclement. If the input of troops is not enough, it will not only be difficult to destroy the Russian army in the encirclement, but it will further increase its own casualties.

Under the attack of the German army and its servants, the Russian army, which was divided by the German armored forces, was wiped out bit by bit. As a result, the strength of the Russian Army's Western Front began to lose continuously.

The Russian army was not only attacked by the Western Front, but also by the Russian Northwest Front, Southwest Front, and Southern Front. Although the Russian Caucasus Front Army relied on the terrain, it withstood the attack of the German Army Group E. However, under the indiscriminate bombing of the German army, the losses of the Russian Caucasus Front Army have also increased, and the defense line has become precarious.

A week has passed, and the two sides are still fighting fiercely on the battlefield. However, as the losses of the Russian army increased, the German army began to gradually grasp the initiative on the battlefield. The balance of victory also began to tilt towards the German army. If this development continues, there will be almost no problem for the German army to win the war.

"Your Excellency, the Marshal, the troops under the 3rd Army have just wiped out an infantry army of the Russian army and defeated a mechanized infantry army." Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert reported.

Marshal Guderian nodded, and the German army is now constantly destroying the effective forces of the Russian army. Even if the Russian army has a huge force, but more and more troops are lost, in the end, they will be wiped out by the German army.
