Chapter 731: Blood and Fire Chapter

When a large number of infantry began to attack Mike's Lancer battle group, the first thing to welcome them was the attack of long-range artillery! The self-propelled howitzers belonging to the battle group and the long-range artillery shells fired from the rear began to fall, and each shell would bloom from the dense crowd of flowers mixed with blood and flame. The Russian soldiers marched numbly, in parallel. The blood and the corpse of his companions marched forward in the non-intensive artillery fire.

This round of blocking shelling is more about delaying the opponent’s attack speed, rather than completely obliterating it. After weighing the number of their artillery shells, the battle group of the forward force, and the strength of the Russians, the frontline officers believed that a moderate shelling was enough. , Or leave it to the frontline personnel to use machine guns and tanks to solve most of the enemies.

  This is a trap, a trap designed with an assault group as a decoy, and Russian infantry came from all directions. In an attempt to eat their opponents with flesh and blood, around them and above them, more German infantry and aircraft have come to the edge of the battlefield. When the Russians launch an offensive, it is the time to close the net!

  The Russian soldiers finally saw which tanks were like iron boxes with a long stick inserted. The number of opponents does not seem to be many. The Russians saw the hope of victory. Under the cover of the 3-inch artillery behind, they launched an offensive frantically, and waiting for them at a distance of 800 to 200 meters was a hotter counterattack. , The bullet rain from machine guns and submachine guns formed a hot halo continuously spreading from the center to the surroundings.

The soldiers in the chain were torn to pieces during the attack. The firepower like a lava flow plowed the Russian formation except for the blood-red and black trenches, in less than 10 minutes. Nearly a thousand people fell in a pool of blood. Such tragic short-term casualties completely smashed the already fragile nerves of Russian officers and soldiers. When the German infantry behind doubled up, everything was doomed.

The roar of the soldiers, the roar of the machinery and the roar of the guns completely overwhelmed the Russian attacks. In a relatively narrow place, the Russians gathered nearly 10,000 infantry, cavalry and artillery, and attacked the artillery and ground in Bavaria. The curtain fell after more than an hour, and the Donetsk division was finished, and the other two divisions were also beaten bloody.

"Replenish ammunition, we will continue to move forward tomorrow!" When Armored Mike decided to stop today’s attack, his troops had penetrated 35 kilometers into the opponent’s line of defense and performed better than during the exercise. In theory, he had already penetrated the opponent’s line. The defensive line of the heavy army group, the rest is interspersed and circuitous.

  In the area passed by the Bavarian Army, the ground was covered with wreckage, blood, and corpses. Piles of soldiers' corpses fell to the ground. The chaotic footprints and discarded weapons around them tell of the Russians' failure. Like a huge steel spearhead, the four divisions of the Sixth Group and one division of the Fifth Army were shattered in one day. Schmidt's forward force has penetrated their line. The infantry divisions behind will also harvest the remnants.

   "All we have to do is move forward, but shoot all visible enemies with our weapons, nothing more." That night, Mike wrote in his battle diary.

  The reaction of the Russians was still a bit slow, and it was already the third day when their loss report and intelligence were delivered to Nikolaev. At this time, Schmidt's assault army had already killed the heavy army in front of him and inserted into the fragile rear of the Russian Fifth Army. At the same time, Prince Leopold’s Bohemian Moravia Army also began to engage with the Fifth Army’s flanking forces. The encirclement has been unfolded, but the Russians did not know it.

  When the third day after the attack was launched, Armor Mike and Fire Captain Hart suddenly realized that they had nothing to do. In front of him is the vast Bode Plain. The Russian troops and most of the logistics transportation lines are concentrated 40 to 60 kilometers behind the army. On the third day, they had reached 75 kilometers behind each other, leaving most of the military-grade supply stations behind.

   "There is a call from above, asking you to hit the **** of the Russian Fifth Army. I will continue to stay here to clean up the Russian military station. If possible, I really want to change with you." Mike said to his old enemy.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Bohemia Moravian Army is relatively limited, they rely on two fast divisions to form fists and superior forces to still beat the Fifth Army's flank to the brink of collapse, and most of the Fifth Army's support has been Cut off. Schmidt's fast battle group and Prince Leopold's army clamped their opponents like tongs from left to right, while Calypte's fast division and regular division lived in the middle of the tongs, and an encircling net had been formed.

  Although the Russian Fifth Army still has the infantry strength of 8 divisions, although 5 divisions still maintain strong combat effectiveness, they are dead. Maybe it will take a while for the Bavarian Legion to completely eat them, but that is already a trivial matter~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Russian Fifth Army is over. Even if we don’t fight, they will collapse on their own after 7 days. The grain and fodder that the Russians carried with the army supported a maximum of 5 days. We have eliminated a lot of their logistics convoys and military depots. The backup was completely cut off. "A staff officer said to the prince.

   "A group army is surrounded, so what will the Russians do?" Ruprecht turned his eyes to the Sixth Army to the north. If the Russians want to clear the siege, they can only rely on the Sixth Army, and if Nikolaevich is an obedient person, he will concentrate his forces and we can still eat some. The prince thought to himself.

Facing an exhausted Russian army with severed support, it would be inappropriate to leave a large number of valuable mobile forces. As Prince Leopold’s forces began to gradually move northward to replace Schmidt’s rapid assault group to complete the fifth Surrounded by the group army. More and more maneuvering forces will be mobilized, and this process takes about 3 to 4 days. Then the troops replenish the attack again.

  The Russian Sixth Army to the north has also begun to concentrate, but it seems that Nikolaevich does not have a clear understanding of his situation now. He didn't know much about the Fifth Army. Even in the constant movement and fighting, the commander of the Fifth Army may not be able to grasp the exact situation of the entire army. When the prince was about to launch another thunder blow, the Russians hesitated.
