Chapter 327 Massacre

"Da da da!" A tank that entered the Russian army's position was crazily shooting forward with machine guns. Those Russian soldiers who were running away were easily shot and killed by machine gun bullets, and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from them. Flowed out from his body, staining the soil red.

"Damn it! Who blew up the German tank for me." A captain and company commander of the Russian army cursed.

However, the remaining dozen or so Russian soldiers under his command were already frightened, and none of them dared to go. In their eyes, the German tanks have undoubtedly become the embodiment of death.

"Cowards! You are all cowards!" the company commander cursed.

Immediately, holding an explosive package, he rushed out of his hiding place and rushed towards the German tank that kept firing. His company originally consisted of more than a hundred people. However, under the attack of this German tank, the losses were exhausted. As a brave soldier, he certainly wanted to avenge his men.

However, bravery is a commendable quality. However, when the disparity in strength is too great, blindly being brave is reckless.

The Russian company commander was carrying a pack of explosives alone, and his act of trying to blow up the German tank was simply sending him to death. You must know that in addition to their powerful self-defense firepower, German tanks are often accompanied by infantry in combat.

Therefore, the actions of the company commander of the Russian army are doomed to fail. In fact, he had just rushed towards the German tanks before he was spotted. The infantry of the German army was specially trained to cooperate with tanks. Among them, there is a special training subject, which is training to protect tanks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots sounded, and several German infantrymen accompanying the tanks began to shoot. The bullet hit the ground, splashing patches of dust.

The Russian company commander was also very agile, rolling on the spot and dodging the bullets.

However, when he rushed to within a few meters of the tank, there was a clear gunshot.

"boom!"

A bullet accurately hit the head of the Russian company commander. His head, like a watermelon, shattered in an instant. When his head was smashed, his body rushed forward a few steps. But in the end, he fell powerlessly to the ground. The explosive pack in his hand also fell to the ground.

"The company commander is dead, he was killed by the Germans, run!" The remaining Russian soldiers ran away in a panic. But the bullets of the German army chased them, and most of them were shot dead, and there were very few people who escaped successfully.

The Russian defense line was easily torn apart under the attack of the German armored forces. A large number of tanks rushed to the Russian position and began to wantonly massacre the Russian soldiers on the position. They bombarded with tanks, strafed with machine guns, and even crushed with tracks. There is only one purpose, and that is to kill all these Russian soldiers who dare to resist.

A large number of German infantry, following behind the tanks, rushed to the Russian position. They used the sophisticated weapons in their hands to attack the Russian army. If you encounter a slight resistance, immediately call for tank support. Rough-skinned and thick-skinned tanks can block Russian attacks. The sharp tank gun can destroy the Russian army.

Under the attack of the German infantry and tanks in coordination with this tactic, the resistance of the Russian army seemed so fragile.

"Flee! The Germans are too powerful, we can't resist their attack at all." Countless Russian soldiers, regardless of the chief's scolding, insulting or even beating, fled one after another and fled to the city of Chelm.

The German army chased after them, constantly using powerful firepower to harvest the lives of these Russian officers and soldiers.

This battle can no longer even be described as a battle. It may be more accurate to describe it as massacre.

Indeed, in front of the German army armed to the teeth, the Russian army is like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, only to be slaughtered by the German army.

On the German position, General Zeckert and others are paying attention to the development of the battle situation. When they saw the armored troops of the German army break into the Russian army's position and lead the infantry to clear the Russian army from the position, smiles appeared on their faces.

"General, this battle is too simple. The Russians are the same as before, except that they have dug a useless anti-tank trench. Other than that, there is no heart at all. In our In front of the armored forces, it is still vulnerable." The commander of the German 49th Infantry Division said.

"Well! The Russians are really too weak. Whether it is weaponry or training, there is a big gap compared with the Imperial Army. In terms of tactics, even flattering horses is not as good as the Empire. Fighting them, there is always a The feeling of bullying." Lieutenant General Zeckert had a smile on his face.

"Haha, the general is right. We are bullying the Russians. But who told them to make enemies of the empire?" The commander of the 51st Infantry Division also said with a smile.

As the generals of the German Army, they are very excited now. As the army achieved victories one after another in the battle, this also meant that they gained more and more military exploits. When the time is right, they will definitely get promoted.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. But in the same way, even if they become generals, they also hope to be able to climb further.

"Order the remaining two infantry divisions to launch an attack and defeat the Russians in one fell swoop! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told us that we should defeat the Russians in the shortest possible time." General Zeckert ordered.

Qin Tian knew that once the German army launched an attack, if the Russian army wanted to adopt risky tactics, they would definitely attack the Austro-Hungarian Army with all their strength. This will put the Austro-Hungarian Army under tremendous pressure. Qin Tian also didn't know whether the Austro-Hungarian Army could withstand the fierce attack of the Russian army. Therefore, he hopes that the German 8th Army can win in the shortest possible time without wasting any time.

"Yes, General."

The remaining two infantry divisions of the German 17th Army also participated in the attack. Their joining accelerated the defeat of the Russian army.

Under the fierce attack of the German army, the defense line deployed by the Russian army on the outskirts of Chelm only lasted for half a day before being defeated across the board. In this battle, the Russian army lost more than 30,000 people. Among them, half of the Russian army voluntarily surrendered to the German army after the defense line was breached. The rest were all killed.

After suffering heavy losses, the Russian army had to retreat back to the city of Chelm, using the city to resist the German attack. Although the urban area of ​​Chelm is not large, the Russian army has built many fortifications in the city, trying to use street fighting to attack the German army and delay time.
