Chapter 292: dust settled

"Da da da!"

  On the German position, a bunch of machine guns are firing crazily, and the barrels have become red from continuous shooting. However, the machine gunner didn't even have time to change the barrel, so he had to choose the most extravagant style of play. i.e. keep firing until the barrel fails. In that case, although the cost will increase, the continuity of shooting will be guaranteed, and the replacement of the barrel will not be so frequent.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   Mortars and grenades on the front line are also firing fiercely. One by one, the shells were thrown at the Russian soldiers as if they didn't want money. Every shell and grenade exploded in the queue of the Russian army would take the lives of a large number of Russian soldiers.

  The powerful firepower of the German army was brought into full play in the battle. Of course, for the Russian army, this may not be a good thing. Under the powerful and almost abnormal firepower of the German army, they have already paid extremely heavy casualties.

  The corpses of the Russian soldiers piled up a thick layer in front of the German positions at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. This speed not only frightened the attacking Russian army, but also shocked the defending German soldiers. Because, they all believe that this is no longer a battle. To be precise, it seems more appropriate to describe it as a massacre. That's right, this battle has developed into a battle in which the Russian army died and the German army slaughtered. This also made the losses of the Russian army begin to rise linearly.

"General, the troops on the front line have lost too much, and they will soon be unable to hold on. The Germans have been prepared for a long time, and they have been firing flares. Our troops are about to collapse." A Russian general told General Letsky reported.

   "Put in three more infantry divisions to launch an attack!" Admiral Letzsky gritted his teeth and gave the order.

   "Yes, General." The huge loss of the Russian army made all the Russian generals fall silent. Even in their careers, it is probably the first time they have fought such a battle. This battle really made them aggrieved.

   "Also, let the cavalry get ready. If the infantry still can't tear through the German line of defense, it's time for them to go out." Admiral Letzsky ordered. The cavalry is the only trump card in his hand. If even the cavalry is dispatched, they cannot break through the German defense line, then there is really no other way. Of course, Admiral Letsky naturally hoped that the cavalry would succeed.

   "Yes, General."

  The generals of the Russian army also realized the determination of Admiral Letsky. They all hope that the attack tonight will be successful. Of course, there was also a trace of anxiety in their hearts. It is really that the firepower of the German army is too strong, which is about to cast a shadow in their hearts.

  The soldiers of the first wave of the Russian army who entered the battle had not been completely killed, and the soldiers of the second wave were thrown into the attack. This gave the German army a feeling that the Russian army seemed endless and could not be killed no matter what. Although, in front of the German positions, a thick layer of corpses had already piled up. However, the Russian army still didn't seem to be scared.

   "Damn, aren't those Russians really afraid of death? So many people have died, and they haven't been scared yet."

   "What the hell, we just need to keep firing. No matter how many people they come, kill them all!"

  The soldiers of the German army have long since turned from excitement to numbness. Killing too many people will also make them lose their excitement about it. Everyone is just numbly pulling the trigger and taking the lives of those Russians with bullets.

   "General, the Russians have obviously invested more troops. Can the front line still hold on? If necessary, the 8th Armored Division is ready to fight at any time." Guderian said.

"Don't worry, Colonel Guderian. The 24th Infantry Division can still hold on. If the Russians keep attacking like this, they won't even try to break through our defense." Major General Bessen looked very confident about his troops. .

  Major General Guderian nodded and didn't say much. However, the armored soldiers of the 8th Armored Division are still vigilant. They are all ready to fight and can be thrown into battle at any time.

   An hour later, the Russian army invested tens of thousands of people one after another, but they were unable to break through the German defense line. Although they caused the German army to consume a lot of ammunition, overall, they still couldn't cause any substantial damage to the German army.

   "Order the cavalry to attack immediately. The Germans are quite tired after fighting for so long. If they seize the opportunity, they should be able to succeed." Admiral Letsky issued an order.

   More than 10,000 Russian cavalry began to attack. The sound of horseshoes gathered together, as if it was thundering, and even the ground was shaking.

  The German army on the defense line also discovered this situation and immediately reported it to Major General Bessen.

   "Cavalry, the Russians really haven't given up yet, and actually joined the cavalry." Major General Besen's face was gloomy.

   "General, let the 8th Armored Division go to battle. We are experienced in dealing with Russian cavalry." Colonel Guderian asked for a fight.

  Major General Besson nodded and did not delay any further. He knew that without the assistance of the 8th Armored Division, after a hard battle, the 24th Infantry Division might not be able to withstand the Russian cavalry.

   "Ulla! Ulla! Kill the Germans!"

   Tens of thousands of cavalry, shouting slogans and waving sabers, rushed towards the German position.

   It's just that when they were about to rush to the front of the German position, they saw that the front suddenly became transparent. That is, the lights of hundreds of tanks were turned on at this moment.

  Many Russian cavalry were so shaken that they couldn't even open their eyes.

   "Boom! Boom!"

"Da da da!"

   At this time, the German tanks opened fire. Hundreds of tanks attacked the Russian cavalry with tank guns and machine guns. The dense machine gun bullets caused those cavalrymen who were originally invincible to be swept off their horses one after another.

  The screams of the cavalry and the roar of the horses were mixed together, making it very noisy.

  The Russian cavalry suddenly lost their impact in front of the German tanks. Even occasionally, cavalry broke through the dense firepower of German tanks and rushed forward. However, the sabers in their hands did not pose any threat to these armored chariots at all.

  When the cavalry of the Russian army suffered heavy losses in front of the armored troops of the German army, the generals of the Russian army were completely speechless. They knew that this time it was really over.
