Chapter 1555 Azov Sea Offensive 6
"We are bound to win, because there is nothing in the Russian army that can destroy armored units!" A German officer said with confidence as he looked at his men and the more than 40 Cricket tanks they belonged to. Until now, although the Russians still have a certain amount of rapid-fire artillery, the probability of encountering them is not high compared to their huge size. It is difficult for sporadic anti-tank guns to pose a threat to groups of armored troops.
Behind these tanks are hundreds of various armored vehicles and transport vehicles. This time, the Germans are not just trying to penetrate the opponent's position. Since the Russians have spent so much effort to get here, then Don't go back! Keep them all? Although putting such a military force on the Western Front will make people feel that the firepower and defense are too weak, it is enough for the Russians!
So, when the Russians reorganized their troops and decided to rely on infantry to break through without enough long-range artillery, the slight vibrations from the ground made the veterans among them shudder. Soon, the sound of gunfire from a distance There was a mixed sound of engines, which made the commanders who had experienced some battles feel very uneasy. It was not clear what they could see in the distance because of the smoke, but judging from the direction of the sound source, it seemed to be in front of them. , and the sound can be transmitted at such a distance, it means that the opponent's mechanized units must be quite numerous!
Some frontline officers began to consider whether to move their troops to defense, and even withdrew one after another. However, after all, their legs could not run on the tracks, and there were too few people who could really make up their minds to fight. After ten minutes, groups of tanks came out. By the time he appeared in front of the Russians, it was too late!
The wall of fire from dozens of 2-pound rapid-fire cannons and hundreds of machine guns of various calibers directly collided with the charging Russian army! The front line of the confrontation between the two sides was blood red, and hundreds of living lives were so fragile in the hail of bullets! The dense 7.92MM machine guns beat each Russian soldier into a bloody gourd. And the 12.7MM machine gun bullets can easily tear the unlucky guy who missed it into pieces. The rapid-fire cannon chooses coverage shooting. A series of shells draw beautiful arcs in the air, and then are detonated directly in the air close to the target! Hundreds of shrapnel exploded in the air, forming a fan-shaped indiscriminate attack area below! No matter whether you stand, lie down or run away, you will be beaten into a sieve!
Faced with these steel monsters rampaging on the battlefield, the Russian army had no way to do anything. Most of them had never experienced the scene of a group of armored troops attacking, the blood and corpses of their companions, the roaring shells and Machine gun bullets killed the Russians both mentally and physically at the same time. On the tragic battlefield, the human spirit often collapsed before the body!
Several Russians could no longer withstand this bloody blow, and they began to flee. An officer killed one of them with a pistol and then had his head shattered by a bullet flying from nowhere. The army lost its officer's pressure. A commotion began. Fear and the desire to survive spread throughout the army. First individual companies began to flee, then entire battalions and regiments of soldiers began to collapse.
Then the whole battle entered garbage time,
Hundreds of vehicles of all kinds chased behind them, firing deadly bullets into the backs of the Russians. The newly added legion not only cut through the opponent's position like a sharp blade, but also more like a grinding plate. Crush this line of defense directly! First the division responsible for the attack, and then the entire center. The German attack speed was far beyond the Russians' expectations. In front of the real German elites, the Russians were still quite inadequate!
On the third day of the landing of the second batch of armies, the entire Russian regiment near the landing point was either completely wiped out or fled. To be precise, almost all the artillery and infantry were left behind, and only some cavalry and a small number of logistics units were left. . At this moment, the landing German troops finally gained a foothold. Not only did the Russians lose the opportunity to drive the Germans into the sea, they even found it difficult to assemble a combatable army!
"All that's left is to advance and consolidate." When Ruprecht, who was far away in St. Sophia, received the telegram of the victory on the front line, he was not very happy, because in his opinion, the entire Russian Army could now completely survive with its dying days. To describe it, there is nothing to be proud of in defeating such an enemy.
In the entire Ukraine, there is no military force that can stop the advance of the German army. Even Borusinov, who still has more than 500,000 troops, is nothing more than bones in the grave in the eyes of the prince. It is not necessary to kill them. Difficult, the only question is whether it is necessary or not.
"Your Highness, Prince Leopold sent a telegram asking us for our next action plan. Does he propose to concentrate our forces to launch an offensive against the Borusinov Army to finally eliminate this enemy?" Count Caliput asked.
"One more thing. Falkenhayn sent a request in a private capacity, hoping that we can help General von Seeckt who is surrounded by the Russian army. Bock in the latter's army is Falkenhayn's nephew." Hesitation. After a moment, Caliput thought for a moment and said.
"Bock." The prince walked to the sand table and looked at a blue ring area in southern Ukraine. There was a ring position built by three German infantry divisions commanded by von Seeckt. Next to them, there were at least 120,000 Russian troops. In fact, it is no problem for 70,000 German troops to deal with 120,000 Russian troops, let alone opening a gap. But the question is, what if a gap is opened? As long as you dare to leave the well-defended position, the Russians can eat up von Seeckt's troops on the road like a pack of wolves. Don't forget that there are more than 200,000 Russian troops around. ? !
So the current situation is that von Seeckt has more than enough to defend, but it is unrealistic to rush out by his own ability. As time goes by, if the materials inside the encirclement are exhausted, it will be really difficult. Waiting to die.
"After all, they are friendly forces, and if the Russians are allowed to annihilate three German divisions in one battle, the impact will be too bad. Therefore, what I mean is to immediately provide support to General von Seeckt's troops." The prince replied It's very direct.
"Of course, I know that asking the Austrians to directly break through 150 kilometers of the Russian front to rescue General von Seeckt's troops is obviously a bit overwhelming. Our air force should still have some spare capacity, right? Arrange some planes every day to rescue the encirclement. The German army provides supplies. Well, it is airdrop, mainly ammunition and various medicines, and the daily quantity cannot be less than 60 tons. That's it." The prince ordered.
