When a large number of infantry starts attacking Mike's Lancer battle group, the first thing that greets them is the attack of long-range artillery! The self-propelled howitzers to which the battle group belonged and the long-range shells fired from the rear began to fall one after another, and each shell would bloom from the dense crowd with flowers mixed with blood and flame, and the Russian soldiers moved numbly, stepping on the blood and the corpses of their comrades in the not dense artillery fire.

This round of blocking shelling was more about slowing down the enemy's attack than completely obliterating, and the front-line officers, after weighing the number of shells they had, the battle groups of the forward troops, and the strength of the Russians, decided that a moderate shelling was enough, and that it was better to leave it to the front-line personnel to deal with most of the enemy with machine guns and tanks.

It was a trap, a trap designed with an assault group as bait, surrounded by Russian infantry from all sides. Trying to eat their opponents with flesh and blood, but around them, above their heads, more German infantry and planes have come to the edge of the battlefield, and when the Russians attack, it is time to close the net!

The Russian soldiers finally saw what looked like a chariot with an iron box with a long stick in it. The number of opponents does not seem to be much, the Russians see the hope of victory, under the cover of the 3-inch artillery behind, they launched a frantic attack, and in the last meter distance what awaits them is a more scorching counterattack, machine guns, submachine guns spray a rain of bullets to form a scorching aura from the center to the surroundings continue to spread from the center.

Rows of soldiers were torn to pieces during the attack, and the firepower of lava ploughed through the Russian formation, plowing a blood-red and black trench, and in less than 10 minutes, nearly a thousand fell in pools of blood. Such tragic short-term casualties completely broke the already fragile nerves of the Russian officers and soldiers. And when the German infantry in the back came up, everything was already doomed.

The shouts of soldiers, the roar of machinery and the roar of guns completely overwhelmed the Russian attack, and in a relatively narrow place, the Russians concentrated nearly 10,000 infantry, cavalry and artillery, and under the Bavarian artillery and air-ground integrated strike, the curtain fell on it after holding out for more than 1 hour, and the Donetsk division was finished, and the other two divisions were also beaten bloody.

"Refill the ammo and tomorrow we'll move on!" By the time Panzer Mike decided to stop today's attack, his troops had penetrated 35 kilometers deep into the opponent's defensive line, and the performance was even better than in the exercise.

In the area where the Bavarian legion passed, the ground was covered with wreckage, blood and corpses, and piles of soldiers' corpses lay on the ground. And the chaotic footprints and discarded weapons around them tell of the defeat of the Russians. Like a huge steel spearhead, 4 divisions of the 6th Group and 1 division of the Fifth Army were shattered in one day. Schmidt's forward forces had penetrated their pay-offs. And the infantry divisions in the rear will also harvest the remnants of the enemy.

"All we have to do is move forward, but shoot all the enemies we can see with our weapons, that's all." That night, Mike wrote in his war diary.

The Russians were still a little slow to react, and by the time their loss reports and intelligence reached Nikolaev, it was already the third day. By this time, Schmidt's assault corps had already taken out the heavy group in front of him and inserted itself into the vulnerable rear of the Russian Fifth Army. At the same time, Prince Leopold's Bohemian-Moravian Legion began to engage the flanks of the Fifth Legion. The siege network was unfolded, but the Russians did not know about it.

When the third day of the assault arrived, Panzer Mike and Fire Captain Hart suddenly found themselves with nothing left to do. In front of them was the vast Bode Plain, where the Russians' forces and most of the logistical transport lines were concentrated 40 to 60 kilometers behind the army. On the third day, they had penetrated 75 kilometers behind the enemy, leaving most of the military-level supply depots behind.

"There's a call from above, let you go and spank the ass of the Russian Fifth Army, I will continue to stay here to clean up the Russian military station, if I can, I really want to change with you." Mike said this to his old enemy.

Although the Bohemia-Moravian Corps had limited combat effectiveness, they relied on two fast divisions to form a fist and superior forces to bring the Fifth Army's flank to the brink of collapse, and most of the Fifth Army's support had been cut off. Schmidt's rapid battle group and Prince Leopold's corps clamped the opponent from the left and right like pincers, while Calyput's fast division and regular division were in the middle of the pincers, and an encirclement network had been formed.

Although the Russian Fifth Army still had 8 divisions of infantry, and although 5 of them still maintained a strong fighting force, they were already dead. Perhaps it will take some time for the Bavarian legion to completely eat them, but that is already a matter of minutiae.

"The Fifth Army of the Russians is finished, and even if we don't fight, they will collapse on their own after 7 days, and the food and forage that the Russians carry with the army will last for 5 days at most. We have already wiped out a lot of their logistics convoys and military stations. The backup was also completely cut off. A staff officer said to the prince.

"An army group is surrounded, so what will the Russians do?" Ruprecht turned his eyes to the Sixth Army to the north. If the Russians want to break the siege, they will have to rely on the Sixth Army, and if Nikolayevich is a conformist, he will concentrate his forces and fight, and we can still eat some. The prince thought to himself.

In the face of an exhausted Russian army with no backups, it was not appropriate to leave a large number of valuable mobile forces, as Prince Leopold's troops began to gradually move north to replace Schmidt's rapid assault group to complete the encirclement of the Fifth Army. More and more mobile forces will be drawn out, and this process will take about 3 to 4 days. Then the troops were replenished and then attacked.

The Russian Sixth Army to the north has also begun to concentrate, but it seems that now Nikolaevich does not have a clear understanding of his situation. He did not know much about the situation in the Fifth Army. Even in the midst of constant movements and engagements, the commander of the Fifth Army was probably unable to grasp the exact situation of the entire army group. While the prince was ready to strike another thunderous blow, the Russians hesitated.
