BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210: The back road is cut off (ask for a monthly ticket)
Under the powerful firepower of the German army, the casualties of the Cossack cavalry began to soar, which made them timid.
However, there are still brave Cossack cavalry charging against the powerful firepower of the German army. Even, it succeeded.
A tank\'s coaxial machine gun and heading machine gun stopped firing at the same time because of overheating. This gave a few brave Cossack cavalry a chance. They took the opportunity to rush through the last distance of more than one hundred meters and rushed to the front of the German tank.
"Damn Germans, you are all devils, die to me!" A Cossack cavalry roared loudly. He raised his saber high and looked at the tank fiercely.
"when!"
A crisp sound sounded, and the indestructible saber slashed fiercely on the tank. However, the saber was directly broken. And the damage caused by this blow to the tank was only a little paint off.
"How...how is this possible?" The Cossack cavalryman was completely speechless as he looked at his broken saber.
The other Cossack cavalrymen were also stunned at the same time.
"This is the devil\'s weapon. Even if it is the devil\'s weapon, we have to destroy it." Another Cossack cavalry said.
A few Cossack cavalrymen hacked around the tank, sparks flying everywhere. But it didn\'t cause any substantial damage to the tank at all. The few armored soldiers in the tank were frightened for a while. However, when they found that the Cossack cavalry could not threaten them at all, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After the machine guns finished cooling down, the tank soldiers launched an attack.
"Da da da!"
The Cossack cavalry directly in front of the tank was killed by the heading machine gun. At the same time, the tank\'s turret also began to rotate, and the coaxial machine guns began to fire, sending the remaining Cossack cavalry into the hive.
"Stupid guy, do they really think that a saber can cut through solid armor?" Colonel Guderian was very speechless.
"They have already paid the price for their stupidity. Although I have to admit that they are all warriors and very brave. However, such bravery will only cost them their lives." Lieutenant Colonel Rommel shook his head.
"Order all the tanks to start moving forward and get rid of them." Colonel Guderian ordered.
More than a hundred tanks began to move forward. Although, they are not fast. But the powerful firepower is still harvesting the lives of these Cossack cavalrymen. In the eyes of the Cossack cavalry, these tanks have become synonymous with the devil.
"Run! Run! We can\'t beat the Germans, they will kill us."
"Retreat, retreat immediately."
The brave Cossack cavalry is timid at this moment. In front of the 8th Armored Division, they had lost the courage to continue fighting.
"We lost, we failed. Let\'s retreat!" Major General Andre\'s face was ashamed.
"Retreat immediately!" Major General Karski nodded and gave the order to retreat.
It\'s just that there are not many people left in the two Cossack cavalry divisions of the current Russian army. More than half of them were killed or wounded in battle and left to die on the battlefield.
There are still many people lost in the war. Major General Andrei and Major General Karski, the number of people who can be gathered in the end is less than 2,000. These two Cossack cavalry divisions can be regarded as being disabled in this battle.
Qin Tian, General Hindenburg and others who had been watching the battle from the rear almost dropped their jaws when they learned that the Russian Cossack cavalry had actually launched a charge against the 8th Armored Division.
Especially Qin Tian. Originally, he thought that the Polish cavalry charging the German tanks written in the history books was a fabrication. But now it seems that there is such a thing!
"Your Highness, the 8th Armored Division\'s defeat of the Russian Cossack cavalry should have been the last straw that broke the camel\'s camel\'s back. The Russians will no longer have the courage to continue fighting. Therefore, I think the Russians should flee immediately Yes. The 20th Army, has it arrived at the predetermined position? If they can block the Russians\' retreat, we will win a big victory." Admiral Hindenburg said with some excitement.
"Send a telegram to ask General Mackensen. They must move quickly and not give the Russians too much time. Otherwise, our victory this time will not be perfect." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Ludendorff immediately arranged for someone to send a telegram.
Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Mackensen, the commander of the 20th Army, called back. The 20th Army had arrived at the predetermined location and was speeding up the time to build a defense line, preparing to stop the Russian army.
This news made Qin Tian and others heave a sigh of relief.
When Qin Tian and the others thought they had won the battle, the headquarters of the Russian 2nd Army was gloomy.
"Your Excellency, the Germans\' secret weapon is too powerful. Our two cavalry divisions launched an attack and were defeated by them. The two divisions now have less than 2,000 people left." Major General Andre\'s eyes were red Said.
"Even the Cossack cavalry is no match for the Germans? How can this battle continue!" Admiral Samsonov couldn\'t help but sighed.
"General, find a way to retreat. The Germans are advancing towards us, and the troops along the road can\'t stop them at all, and they are about to collapse. If they don\'t retreat, they will come to us in a short time." One The general suggested.
Obviously, the 2nd Army, which has suffered heavy losses, is no match for the Germans at all. If they persist, they will only suffer heavy losses.
"Okay, order the troops to retreat immediately. The 22nd Infantry Division and the 23rd Infantry Division stay to stop the Germans. In any case, we need at least one day for us." Admiral Samsonov ordered.
He knew that if everyone retreated in a swarm, they would be followed and attacked by the Germans. At that time, the retreat will turn into a rout, and thus a complete loss.
"Yes, General." The commanders of the two infantry divisions who were named had no choice but to accept the order.
But at this moment, a staff officer hurried in.
"General, there are a lot of Germans behind us."
Suddenly, everyone\'s face changed drastically.
