Chapter 290 One Last Strike

In this world, there is no truly fearless army. In other words, bravery is only a relative term. When facing an enemy with comparable combat strength, if you attack bravely, you may be able to win. However, when the disparity in strength between the two sides is very large, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

This is the situation on the battlefield now. The Russian army's offensive was very fierce. Stimulated by the desire to survive, those Russian soldiers fought as if they were dying. But even so, they were still powerless in the face of the German army, which was armed to the teeth and also had air support. Their attack is just looking for death.

Under the air attack of the German 8th Air Force, the offensive of the Russian 9th Army was completely disintegrated. A large number of Russian soldiers ran away like hell, and they didn't have the courage to continue fighting.

The German planes, especially those F2 fighter jets, chased and fired at the fleeing Russian soldiers, killing them wantonly with aviation machine guns. Countless Russian soldiers were beaten in two, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

Admiral Letsky and others were watching the battle behind the Russian army's position. The scene in front of them made their faces livid. Although they never took the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously, being massacred by the German army still made them feel very uncomfortable. Because they know that if they can't break through the German defense line and seize Pulawi, the Russian soldiers who are now slaughtered by the German army may be a lesson for them.

"Order the troops to stop the attack." Admiral Letzsky ordered.

"General, are we going to give up? If we give up now, we will never have another chance!" A Russian general asked.

"The Germans have strong firepower, and they also have aircraft to assist them. If we launch an attack now, we will simply die. This will cause all our troops to be lost here." Admiral Letzsky shook his head.

"General, no matter what, we can still try again! Maybe, there will be a chance." The Russian general was a little unwilling. Although, the casualties were indeed very large. However, it was just ordinary soldiers who died, so what's the big deal? None of these generals crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. They never paid attention to human life, especially the life of ordinary Russian soldiers.

However, Admiral Letsky still shook his head stubbornly.

This made the generals of the Russian army very puzzled, and a little unhappy in their hearts. Although Admiral Letsky was his immediate boss, he couldn't stop them from surviving.

However, Admiral Letsky's next words dissipated all the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"If you launch an attack during the day, you will be attacked by German planes. Therefore, I decided to put all the attacks at night. In that case, not only the German planes will no longer pose a threat to us. At the same time, the German firepower superiority will also Offset a lot. In this case, our confidence in breaking through the German defense line will be much greater." Admiral Letzsky said.

Admiral Letsky asked the Russian army to stop the offensive, not because he wanted to give up. Instead, he intends to change his attack method and choose a tactic that is easier to succeed. Of course, if you can preserve your own strength as much as possible, that would be the best. If they had to pay a huge price to realize their strategic goals, Admiral Letzsky would of course not be stingy. After all, he has never been a soft-hearted person.

"The general is wise!" A group of Russian generals immediately flattered them. Indeed, Admiral Letzsky thought much farther than theirs. They only thought about how to break through the German defenses and escape. On the other hand, Admiral Letzsky wanted to break through the German defense line at the lowest cost. If the two are compared, the judgment will be judged.

"However, General, if we wait until night, will the main force of the Germans catch up?" Some Russian generals were worried.

The other Russian generals also felt nervous.

Now they don't have so much time to spend here, the main force of the Germans is chasing them! If a lot of time is wasted here, it will not be worth the candle.

"One night, there shouldn't be any problem. However, if we can't break through the German defense line tonight, the Germans will definitely catch up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. By then, we will be dead." Lietz Admiral Ski said.

The faces of other Russian generals also became serious. Everyone knows that now is really a critical moment of life and death. If the attack tonight is still unsuccessful. Then, what kind of consequences will there be, no need for others to say, they are very clear.

"General, everyone will do their best tonight and fight to the death! It is better to die on the way to attack than to be surrounded and annihilated by the Germans. We will definitely be able to break through the German defense line." A Russian general said.

Other Russian generals also expressed their opinions one after another.

"Very well, then, our victory or defeat is tonight. I hope we can break through the German defense line in one fell swoop. May God bless us! Bless the Russian Empire!" Admiral Letsky said.

"God bless the Russian Empire!" The other Russian generals also said one after another.

The Russian army only launched an attack, and it died down after being kicked by the thigh, which made the German army a little confused. Major General Bessen, commander of the German 24th Infantry Division, and Colonel Guderian, commander of the 8th Armored Division, are also talking about this matter.

"What did the Russians do? Why did they stop attacking? Don't they know that the current time is very precious to them? If our main force catches up, they will die." Bei Major General Sen looked suspicious.

"General, the Russians may be scared by our aviation team. I am afraid that when they attack again, they will be attacked by our aviation team for the second time. However, the Russians must not be underestimated. They I will not give up so easily." Colonel Guderian said.

Major General Besen nodded: "It seems that the Russians want to save their chance to break through tonight. Tonight, our two divisions may have to go through a tough battle."

Guderian smiled and didn't seem worried.
