Chapter 220: Massacre (seeking monthly ticket)

   "God! What do these Russians want to do? They are trying too hard!" The generals of the German army couldn't help being stunned after seeing the attack method of the Russian army.

  You must know that in order to avoid being accidentally injured by your own artillery, when attacking, you will often wait until your own artillery starts to extend into the depth of the enemy before launching an attack.

  But now, the artillery fire of the Russian army is still preparing for firepower, bombarding the forward positions of the German army, their infantry has already launched an attack, which is amazing!

  In the eyes of ordinary people, Admiral Leiningkamp must be crazy. However, only he himself knows that there is no way to do it. Who made the Germans too strong and they too weak?

  If they follow the conventional style of play, they will definitely not be able to break through the German defense line. The 2nd Army was easily and seriously injured by the German army with powerful firepower. This is a lesson from the past!

  So, Admiral Leiningkamp came up with this crazy tactic. That is, not afraid of accidental injury. While the artillery bombarded, the infantry also attacked. This made it impossible for the German army to hide in the fortifications, and had to enter the position to resist the attack of the Russian army. In this case, the artillery of the Russian army may be able to cause greater damage to the German army. If you are lucky, there is no chance of severely injuring the German army. In this case, the Russian army is more likely to escape.

   "Damn Russians, are they going to fight us desperately?" Lieutenant General François also turned pale when he heard the news. Obviously, this tactic of the Russians made them very embarrassed. Although the German army's combat effectiveness is very strong, too few troops is a flaw. The Russians used suicide attacks to exchange casualties with the German army, which would inevitably cause the German army to pay a lot of losses.

   "General, what should we do now?"

   "Hmph! The Russians dare to fight, don't we dare to fight? The soldiers of the German Empire are the bravest in the world." Lieutenant General Francois said.

"Order the infantry, enter the position immediately, and prepare to fight. No matter how high the price is, stop the Russians and keep them all. In addition, tell the artillery to do their best to suppress the Russian artillery. Can they Suppressing the Russians in the shortest time will determine how many casualties we will suffer in this battle!" Lieutenant General Francois ordered.

   When there is no other way, this method can only be used.

   "Yes, General."

  All the German generals know that Lieutenant General François is also preparing to fight the Russians desperately.

  After the order was issued, the German soldiers hiding in the anti-gun cave were a little dazed. After all, the explosion above the head is still going on, which undoubtedly shows that the Russian shelling is still going on! If you go out now, isn't that courting death?

  However, the bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders. Since the superiors gave the order, they had no choice but to obey. What's more, after learning that the Russians had adopted such desperate tactics, they had no reason to say anything more. After all, even the Russians dared to go all out, so why wouldn't they dare?

   "Warriors, take up your weapons and prepare to fight. Let the Russians know that the warriors of the German Empire are not afraid of death!"

  A company commander roared loudly, and after finishing speaking, he was the first to rush out of the blast hole.

  The other soldiers followed closely behind, rushed out of the artillery hole, entered the position and prepared to fight.

   "Boom!"

  A 76.2mm artillery shell fell, and several soldiers were blown away on the spot. But the other soldiers, before they even had time to fear, advanced further along the communication trenches and reached the forward positions, ready to fight. They can only use the lives of the Russians in the ensuing battle to avenge their dead comrades.

  The German troops on the front line got out of the anti-bomb holes and other fortifications where they were hiding, and entered the forward positions to fight. The shelling of the Russian army caused them a lot of casualties. However, no one flinched. Everyone is working hard!

  On the artillery positions of the German army, a large number of gunners took off their shirts and carried shells shirtless. There were beads of sweat all over their bodies, but they didn't even have time to wipe it off.

  In order to make their comrades sacrifice less, they must suppress the Russian artillery fire in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can the casualties of one's own side be reduced.

  The fierce battle started like this. It can be said that this battle has directly entered the climax stage.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  Russian artillery shells kept falling on the German positions, and soldiers died in the explosion from time to time. But the rest are still fighting.

  In this process, the Russian infantry was not far from the German position.

   "Fire! Kill those Russians!" The German frontline commander ordered.

"Da da da!"

  The German machine gunners, who had been suffocating for a long time, started shooting first. A series of general-purpose machine guns and squad machine guns began to fire wildly, and the dense bullets enveloped the Russian offensive line like a steel storm. And all the officers and soldiers of the Russian army who were enveloped were shot and killed, and many of them were even hit by dozens of bullets and turned into honeycombs.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   Mortars and grenades from door to door also started firing, and dense shells and grenades smashed towards the Russian army's formation. The shells exploded and shrapnel shot out, harvesting the lives of these Russian soldiers.

  The Russian soldiers also performed extremely bravely in this battle. They know that if they don't work hard, they will die. So, they have no other choice.

  The Russian generals who were watching the battle in the rear took a deep breath one by one.

   "Damn it, the firepower of the Germans is indeed very strong. They are so extravagant to equip an army with so many machine guns, this is too crazy!" The generals of the Russian army exclaimed.

   Although, the cost of the machine gun is not high. However, after the machine gun is equipped, follow-up supplies are very important. Equipped with a large number of machine guns, this will undoubtedly increase the supply of troops. In their view, this view of the Germans is really too wasteful.

   But I have to admit that after being equipped with a large number of machine guns, the firepower has indeed been enhanced to the extreme. At least, on defense. In the face of the powerful firepower of the German army, although the Russian officers and soldiers are desperately attacking. However, their attack is useless at all, and they are sending them to death.

   That's right, the Russian army's attack is completely killing them. In the face of the powerful firepower of the German army, they simply could not rush to the front of the German defense line, let alone break through the German defense line. The corpses of the Russian army have already piled up a thick layer on the ground.
