Chapter 730: A Song of Blood and Fire 2
Forty-eight bombers divided into 16 groups to bomb the rear artillery positions and logistical supply points of the Russians, this unprecedented attack method instantly made the Russians confused, they did not know how to respond, they could only watch the bombers dump tons of bombs on the ground, and then turn the artillery and mountains of supplies into a sea of fire.

If you look from the air, there are already more than a dozen black areas in the Russian rear, which are bombed and burned positions, and in the earthy yellow and green wilderness, this kind of spot that heralds death is so striking. And when the first wave of bombing was over, before the bombers could return, the second wave of bombers had already arrived, once again sending death and fear to the frightened Russians.
For the first time, Rutgers felt a sense of powerlessness, even in the Russo-Japanese War, he did not despair as much as he did today in the face of the Japanese frontal pig rush and flank detours, the pillars of fire and gunsmoke rising far and near made him subconsciously think that he should do something, but under the rapid air attack of the opponent, he could do very little, these planes would not mind using machine guns to slaughter the gathered crowd after taking out the artillery positions.
Whenever the officers below tried to regroup, a bomber descending from the sky dispersed them with heavy machine-gun fire! After leaving dozens of horrific corpses on the ground, the Russians who escaped from the tiger's mouth will never try to concentrate again, and even if the officers whip them fiercely and threaten them with pistols, these guys who have turned from soldiers into cowards will only hold their heads and shrink in a corner and tremble. The Germans have not yet attacked on the front, and the support system of the Russian army has collapsed!
While the bombers were still flying in the air, the long-range artillery of the Bavarian regiment also began to exert their might, they did not waste their precious shells on the Russian frontal defense line, these hastily arranged lines were handed over to the front-line troops, and the dense shells began to sweep the remaining Russian long-range artillery positions one by one, and at the same time began to block the roads, so that the breakthrough area was isolated from the entire position.
With the roar of 210mm heavy guns, the first deep breakthrough of the Bavarian Army finally kicked off, and artillery of various calibers bombarded the Russian positions from far or near distances! In the face of a powerful 100kg grenade, the so-called bunker is just a ridiculous trick, and the storm of flames and shrapnel from the explosion of the heavy shell easily blasts the trenches into deep pits. Both people and makeshift civil bunkers are inevitably reduced to ashes.
Amid the roar of artillery fire and the roar of engines, torrents of steel painted with German ash began to rush towards the Russian positions! The first line was easily shattered, but in the second line, the 3-inch rapid-fire guns deployed by the Russians in front were still an attacking force. Lieutenant Colonel Hart ran into a defensive line with three rapid-fire gun batteries, and the slender guns were constantly sprayed with flames, and one 3-inch shell after another exploded in the offensive formation.
"If the opponent's artillery positions are deployed more intensively, and the two wings are protected at the same time, it can still have some impact on us." But trouble is just trouble after all, and Hack, who is very proficient in defense, naturally guides how to break through such a line.
Three Vespa assault guns with additional armor appeared in front of the Russians, and at a distance of 700 meters, the Russians frantically tilted a rain of bullets at them, and the heavy steel plates bounced off shells from time to time, and it seemed that the Vespa tanks in crisis began to retreat, and released smoke after another, and when the Russians' shelling was sparse, they occasionally peeked out from behind the smoke or bunkers and fired two shots.
The accuracy of attacking moving targets from a distance of 700 meters is inherently low, not to mention that the artillery is not powerful enough and it is difficult to penetrate it. The other side played very flexibly after using smoke screens and rock masses, constantly attracting the attention of the Russians. On the other side, after several rounds of flat fire from several 150mm self-propelled howitzers, and after the three rapid-fire guns at one support point turned into burning ruins, a team of cricket tanks finally passed through, and they smoothly went around to the side of the frontal position, and began to slaughter the Russian artillery positions from the flank!
A series of 2-pounder shells rang out from behind, which completely disrupted the Russians' front, they don't know how many people went around the back, and they don't know if there are teammates around them who are insisting, the Russians have not done a good job in the face of the Japanese interspersed, and this time they are facing a new armor interspersed, so the entire defense system collapsed instantly, and it is impossible for the battle defense artillery without minefields and linear arrangements to defend against the attack of superior armored forces.
That is, in more than 20 minutes, Huck smashed the second line of the Russians, and the tracks of the chariot ran over the trenches and the corpses of the Russians, leaving bloody traces, and Huck didn't even put down the motorized infantry to let them take prisoners, because in his opinion, it was a matter for the people behind him, and he didn't have time to capture these guys.
The combat effectiveness of the Donetsk Division has actually been exhausted by now, and after the setbacks at the beginning of the war and the current key bombardment, as well as withstanding the initial blows of the two assault groups, although there are still a lot of troops left, these people are already frightened birds. They couldn't fight anymore, and if they were lucky, they could get back to the rear or the Russians could regain control of the battlefield, and they could gather the remnants, but for now, they were locked in a corner and shivering. Waiting to die or be captured.
However, the other two divisions of the Russians were also engaged in the battle at this time, and they were always outnumbered, and on one of the fronts there were actually eight infantry battalions, and under the guidance of a small number of cavalry, Russian soldiers in gray uniforms flocked to the two assault groups like a tide, trying to rely on the sea of people to drown the opponent.
And in addition to the 3-inch run, the so-called anti-armor weapons in the hands of these Russian soldiers are nothing more than a bundle of grenades. God knows what the effect will be when these things are thrown, and whether these grenade-throwing soldiers will still live to see the sun tomorrow after they are thrown.
An assault group was only 50 combat vehicles and more than a dozen armored vehicles and half-track vehicles, watching the black pressure rush over, both the armored Mike and the fire captain Hart were a little weak, unconsciously, they had penetrated 20 kilometers into the opponent's position, and at three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, they finally collided with a large number of Russian infantry.
The so-called ignorant are fearless, in history, French soldiers could face German machine guns and artillery in dense formations to die, and in this plane, in the face of never-before-seen German armored forces, Russian soldiers can still launch a Mosin Nagant rifle in one hand and a grenade in the other hand to launch an action that is simply a desperate charge in the eyes of the Germans.
