BXBX NOVEL Chapter 338: collapse
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The artillery of the German army also continued to fire, and cooperated with the air force, further causing greater losses to the Russian army.
Under the fierce attack of the German army, the casualties of the Russian army are rising sharply. At the same time, the German attack dealt a devastating blow to the morale of the Russian army.
"God! How could the German attack be so powerful?" Lieutenant General Boris looked desperate. Although, he already knew that the German attack was very strong. However, now that he has actually experienced the German attack, he realizes that the German army is stronger than he expected. It can be said that the German army is completely different from the Russian army. The combat effectiveness of the Russian army cannot catch up with the German army even if it is flattered.
"General, what should we do? The troops are in a mess now. It is impossible for us to continue our counterattack." A major general said.
After being attacked by the German army, the Russian army suffered heavy losses, and at the same time morale also fell to the bottom. Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to organize a counterattack?
"How big are our casualties?" Lieutenant General Boris stood up and looked at the fleeing Russian soldiers around him, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Before they reached Chelm, they were hit by a thunderous blow from the Germans. This made him no longer have much confidence in this plan.
"General, it is difficult to count now. However, our losses may not be so small."
Lieutenant General Boris frowned, as if he was thinking about whether to move on. If you want to move on, you have to tear through the German blockade. Can the 22nd Infantry Army of the Russian Army do it now? This is probably very difficult. But if they retreat, General Dimitriev can\'t explain it. Therefore, Lieutenant General Boris was caught in a dilemma.
However, Lieutenant General Boris will not have to worry about it soon, because the German army has already made a choice for him.
After the air strike of the German 8th Air Force ended, the fifty tanks of the 8th Armored Division, which had already been prepared, and the infantry of the three infantry regiments of the 51st Infantry Division launched an attack on the Russian army.
Fifty tanks, leading tens of thousands of infantry, launched an attack. Although, in terms of military strength, the Russian army still has an absolute advantage. However, in panic, morale suffered a devastating blow at the same time. Under such circumstances, how could they withstand the German attack?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The German tanks fired with tank guns while marching, causing further damage to the Russian army.
"What\'s that?" During the chaos, some Russian soldiers discovered the approaching tanks. Many of them saw tanks for the first time. Seeing those black-painted iron guys approaching them, many people were frightened.
"Tanks! The German tanks are coming." A Russian officer shouted in horror.
The track of the tank crushed the ground and approached the Russian army without hesitation. The tens of thousands of German infantry behind the tank also showed a strong fighting spirit. This kind of momentum made the Russian army frightened.
"Damn, the Germans are calling. Open fire and stop them!" A Russian officer ordered.
"Da da da! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Part of the Russian army opened fire, heavy machine guns and rifles, and started shooting, trying to stop the German armored forces. However, they soon discovered that neither heavy machine guns nor rifles could cause any harm to those black-painted iron guys. On the contrary, the German tanks suppressed the Russian army with tank guns. The heavy machine guns fired by the Russian army became the key targets of the German tanks.
The tank gun of a tank aimed at a heavy machine gun of the Russian army that was firing. The driver stopped abruptly, and the gunner immediately opened fire.
"Boom!" In the blink of an eye, the shell exploded, and the heavy machine gun of the Russian army was directly blown into a pile of parts.
The German tanks fought and walked, and soon broke through to the Russian defense line, only a few hundred meters away. The soldiers of the Russian army were retreating in a panic, and they had been frightened by the German tanks.
"Da da da!" The machine guns on the German tanks also started firing, and the intensive firepower knocked down the Russian soldiers to the ground.
"Mortar, kill the German tanks for me." A Russian officer shouted loudly.
A mortar was erected, and the gunner aimed at a German tank and opened fire soon.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two consecutive shells flew out of the barrel and hit the German tank.
The first shell exploded beside the tank without causing any damage to the tank at all. Another shell, although it hit the front armor of the tank. But unfortunately, the power of the mortar is too small, and it is undoubtedly impossible to penetrate the later armor of the tank.
"God!" The officer of the Russian army couldn\'t help being stunned when he saw this scene. He couldn\'t believe it at all, since there was nothing wrong with the German tank that was hit by the shell.
"Run away! German tanks are indestructible." A group of Russian soldiers fled one after another.
However, the counterattack of the German tanks came soon. The coaxial machine gun fired wildly at these Russian troops. The dense bullets shot all these Russian troops to death.
"General! The German offensive is too fierce, and we have suffered heavy losses. The front line simply cannot withstand the attack of German tanks. The troops have already begun to collapse, so let\'s retreat!" A major general and division commander reported to Lieutenant General Boris .
"It\'s over! It\'s over! The entire infantry army was defeated by the Germans in a single encounter. How can we fight this battle?" Lieutenant General Boris murmured. His confidence also seemed to be destroyed at this moment.
The German army took the initiative to attack with a weak force, but with the cooperation of a large number of technical weapons, it was able to easily defeat the Russian army with absolute superiority in strength. This made the Russian generals who are good at fighting more with less, not knowing how to face it for a while.
Under the attack of the German 51st Infantry Division and part of the tanks of the 8th Armored Division, the Russian 22nd Infantry Division collapsed after suffering heavy losses. The frightened Russian army fled in all directions. Some Russian troops who had no hope of escape even surrendered directly to the German army.
