Chapter 289: Send to death (seeking monthly ticket)

   "Damn it, the Russians have launched an attack before our fortifications have been built. If this happens, our casualties will continue to rise!" A middle-aged junior general officer looked angry. He is Major General Bessen, commander of the 24th Infantry Division of the German Army.

"General, there is no way. The Russians are not fools. They know that once our defense line is completed, if they attack again, they will have to pay for their lives. Besides, it is no different from courting death. As long as the Russians If our brains were not caught by the door, they would not give us more time." A young colonel officer said helplessly. He is Colonel Guderian, commander of the 8th Armored Division.

   "Well! But even so, the Russians don't even think about taking Pulawi back! His Highness asked us to stay here for two days. We can definitely do it." Major General Besen said confidently.

  Even so, the loss in this battle may exceed his previous expectations. However, Major General Besen still believed that the elite German army could be firmly nailed here like a nail until the main force arrived.

"Yes, General, I think so too. Once the Russian army's offensive is too fierce, the 8th Armored Division will dispatch tanks to crush the Russians directly. I believe that we can defeat their plot." Colonel Guderian is full of confidence.

  After several battles in succession, the 8th Armored Division was able to win every time, which has become synonymous with victory. This also made Colonel Guderian more and more confident.

  Major General Bessen nodded. If it was only the 24th Infantry Division, he believed that even if he could stop the Russian army, he would suffer heavy losses. However, with the assistance of the 8th Armored Division, everything was different. Even if the 8th Armored Division lost a lot of tanks, the remaining hundreds of tanks would also become a nightmare for the Russians. It is absolutely impossible for the Russians to break through their defenses.

   "Fire!"

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The artillery of the 24th Infantry Division of the German Army opened fire. The 18 150mm heavy howitzers, 36 105mm light howitzers and 54 75mm field guns that had already entered the artillery positions began to fire wildly.

   One by one shells roared and smashed into the Russian army's queue. The shell exploded, instantly like the sickle of death, and took away all the lives of the nearby Russian soldiers, leaving only the stumped limbs and a deep crater on the ground.

  The artillery of the infantry division of the German 8th Army has undoubtedly been greatly improved compared with the infantry divisions of other countries. An infantry division is equipped with 108 cannons of various calibers, and even 150mm heavy guns. Except for the local tyrants of the American empire on the other side of the ocean, they are probably the only ones. Of course, this certainly cost a lot of money. However, in the war, so many powerful artillery also played a huge role. Whether it is offensive or defensive operations, the first thing the enemy has to face is their terrifying artillery fire. This can not only cause a lot of casualties to the enemy, but also a major blow to the morale of the enemy.

  The shells fell like raindrops, killing and wounding Russian soldiers continuously. Even though the soldiers of the Russian army were still launching the Ula charge, the fear on the faces of every Russian soldier was getting deeper and deeper.

  Although, the defense line of the German 24th Infantry Division has not yet been built. However, the firepower it should have is not bad. Mortars, grenade grenades, general purpose machine guns and squad machine guns are all available. It's just that these weapons cannot be deployed in a solid firepower point, they can only be deployed directly on the trenches. But at the same time, the power of these weapons can also be brought into play.

   "Fire and kill these Russians!"

   Following the order of the frontline commander, mortars, grenade launchers, general-purpose machine guns, and squad machine guns started firing one after another. The intensive firepower directly caused the attacking Russian army to pay a heavy price. Countless Russian soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, their bodies were full of holes left by bullets. Even some Russian soldiers were directly torn to pieces.

   "The firepower of the Germans is too powerful! It would be a real disadvantage to fight against such an army without strong firepower." A Russian general put down the binoculars in his hand and said with emotion.

   "The whole of Europe and the whole world, perhaps only the Germans, have the capital to equip their troops with such powerful firepower!"

   "I heard that even the German Army is not equipped with such equipment. Only the 8th Army is equipped with such powerful firepower."

  The generals of the Russian army started talking about this. Although the German army is massacring their soldiers with powerful firepower, this does not prevent their envy. They even imagined that if their troops could also be equipped with such powerful firepower, maybe they would not have suffered such a miserable defeat. Of course, this is just a thought. They all know that with Russia's financial resources, it is simply impossible for the Russian Army to equip so many extravagant equipment. Besides, the advantage of the Russian Army does not lie in its weapons and equipment, but in its strength. Overwhelming the enemy with a huge force advantage is what they are good at.

  The soldiers of the Russian army were very brave. They faced the intensive firepower of the German army and launched an offensive. However, such an attack is more like sending to death. The lives of the soldiers of the Russian army seem to be worthless at all. Perhaps their greatest role is to consume the ammunition of the German army.

  The German 8th Air Force also came to help. These pilots are already full of anger towards the Russians. The Russian army adopted the tactics of day and night, which almost made them useless. They don't want to be spectators in this war. Therefore, after learning that the Russian army launched an attack on Pulawi, Brigadier General Corey, the commander of the 8th Air Force, immediately asked Qin Tian to fight. And Qin Tian also approved their battle request.

   Two brigades of F2 fighters and one brigade of H1 bombers appeared over the battlefield. Their arrival made the Russian army on the ground panic, and many even turned around and ran away. The Russian army, which was not intimidated by the intensive firepower of the German army, was frightened by the German aircraft on the contrary.

  However, the pilots of the 8th Air Force will obviously not let the Russians go so easily. They attacked immediately.

"Da da da!"

  The bullets of the aviation machine guns of the F2 fighter jets chased the Russian army, and countless Russian soldiers were torn to pieces under the impact of the powerful aviation machine gun bullets.

  The H1 bomber also began to drop bombs, throwing the bombs into the queue of the Russian army like dumplings, taking their lives away.
