Chapter 279: This is massacre!

"Da da da!"

  On the German position, a squad machine gun was firing crazily, and the magazine of 30 bullets was quickly emptied. The machine gunner skillfully changed the magazine and continued to fire. In front of their position, the corpses of many Russian soldiers have been piled up.

  The position defended by this infantry squad is more than ten meters long. And this squad machine gun is their most powerful defensive weapon.

   "Prepare the grenadier. At two o'clock, a heavy machine gun from the Russian army is moving up. Let's get rid of it." The squad leader ordered.

  The grenadier immediately adjusted the shooting angle, and then started shooting.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   Two consecutive grenades were fired in a very short time. The heavy machine gun that was launched by the Russian army was blown up on the spot, and the heavy machine gunner was also killed.

   "Bang!" A clear gunshot sounded, and a low-ranking officer of the Russian army had already screamed and fell to the ground. This was done by German snipers. They specialize in fighting against valuable targets. The low-level officers of the Russian army, as well as machine gunners, are their key targets.

   "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The semi-automatic rifles also kept firing, killing the living targets of the Russian army.

  The various weapons of an infantry squad cooperate with each other, making the small line of defense they garrisoned impregnable. The Russian army can't even rush into the range of 50 meters in front of their line of defense, let alone break through the German line of defense.

  After the restructuring and large-scale refitting, the combat effectiveness of the German army has been significantly improved. With the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, wanting to confront the German army is a dream. Not to mention that the Russian army is now attacking and the German army is defending, which allows the German army to better use their firepower advantage.

  The German defense line can be described as impenetrable. It is almost impossible for the Russian army to break through the German defense line. Unless the Russian army can bombard the German defense line with heavy artillery, it will directly use violent shelling to destroy the German defense line. In this way, they will be able to deal with the powerful firepower of the German army. Otherwise, they will have to fill it with their lives.

  Of course, using human lives to fill it is originally a tactic used by the Russian army. In the previous battles, they were often invincible. However, when the Russian army faced the German army that had been armed to the teeth, such tactics were somewhat useless. The lives of their soldiers are at most consuming some German ammunition. No matter how you look at it, human life is far more valuable than ammunition.

   "Damn it, aren't these Russians afraid of death? We have killed so many, and they are still attacking!" A young German soldier's hand was numb from the rifle.

   "The lives of the Russians are worthless at all. Their commanders didn't take them seriously at all." The squad leader explained casually.

  Under the onslaught of the Russian army, the German army had to give full play to its own firepower, which made the German soldiers from the initial shock to complete numbness. Facing the dense formation of the Russian army, they only need to numbly pull the trigger. The bullets fired can always kill these Russians.

  In the case of heavy losses, the Russian army's offensive had to be temporarily stopped. Most of the Russian troops participating in the attack were slaughtered within half an hour. The remaining troops were also frightened and had to retreat.

  Although, these Russian soldiers are very brave. However, watching the comrades around him fall down one by one, their deaths were miserable. Anyone in such an environment will also be afraid. Under such circumstances, they can only escape.

"Bastard! This is not a war at all, but a massacre! The Germans are using their powerful weapons to massacre our brave soldiers!" General Letsky, commander of the Russian 9th Army, saw this scene After that, he cursed helplessly.

  The other Russian generals also remained silent. Indeed, in terms of firepower, there is a huge gap between the Russian army and the German army. So much so that on the battlefield, their troops were completely suppressed. The attacking troops were massacred by the superior firepower of the German army.

   "Is there anything you can do?" Admiral Rezsky asked.

   "General, unless our artillery can beat the Germans. Then use heavy artillery to bombard the German defense line. In this case, it may be successful." A general suggested.

   "Impossible! The artillery strength of the Germans is far stronger than ours. They are even equipped with heavy artillery. But we are basically only equipped with field artillery." The artillery commander shook his head.

   "If we have German tanks, we can also break through the German defense line." A general underestimated in a low voice. The 2nd Guards Army was defeated by the Germans, and it is said that it was mainly due to the tanks. Those invulnerable iron bumps easily broke through the Russian army's defense line. If the Russian Ninth Army also had tanks, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to break through the German defense line in front of us?

"Don't say these are useless. Let's not say that we don't have tanks, even if we really have tanks? Who knows if the Germans have weapons against tanks? Don't forget, the Germans are ahead in the development of weapons and equipment We have a lot," Admiral Letsky said.

  Suddenly, the Russian generals fell silent. Indeed, the Russians were helpless against the German tanks. However, it does not mean that the Germans have no choice!

   "General, it seems that we have only two choices. Either continue to attack and launch an attack regardless of the cost of casualties to break through the German defense line. Otherwise, we have no choice but to retreat."

   "Retreat?" Admiral Rezsky frowned. For him, this option is the last option. He would never make this choice unless it was absolutely necessary.

   "Order the troops to continue the offensive. Regardless of the cost, we must break through the German defense line." Admiral Letzsky ordered.

   "Yes, general." All the Russian generals replied.

   An hour later, the Russian army launched an offensive again. Countless Russian soldiers were driven by Russian officers like livestock to attack the German defense line.

  In order to break through the German defense line, the Russian army stormed again and again. Countless Russian soldiers rushed towards the German defense line like a gray tide. However, the German defense line was like a reef standing on the seashore, and it still stood tall despite the Russian attack.

  The offensive of the Russian army did not come to an end until the sun went down. However, apart from consuming a large amount of ammunition by the German army, they had no effect anymore. The corpses of the Russian army have already covered the entire battlefield.
