Barbed wire has been a weapon for the defense since it appeared in the last world war. The attacking side wanted to cross the barbed wire fence and had to stop. And this gives the defending side a chance to play with dense firepower. They can take advantage of this opportunity to inflict great casualties on the enemy.

Now the Russian army is facing such a problem, and they have already paid a lot of losses in order to cut the barbed wire under the Polish army. Beneath the barbed wire, a thick layer of corpses has piled up.

"Boom!" A shell fell, blowing up a stake holding the barbed wire. The Russian soldiers, who were crowded in the back, took the opportunity to rush in.

"Die, damned Poles!" A Russian soldier shouted.

But the oncoming machine gun bullets killed most of these Russian soldiers. The rest of the Russian soldiers had to lie on the ground and did not dare to attack again. Bullets whizzed over their heads, making many of them almost pee. Of course, the ground covered with thick snow was so cold that some Russian soldiers even froze.

In the night battle, many of the German technical weapons could not be used. For example, large-caliber heavy artillery and fighters of the Air Force. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Russian army to break through the first-line positions defended by the Polish and White armies. Therefore, when the Russian army did not invest a large number of troops in time, it is true that the strong firepower of the defenders caused huge losses to the Russian army. However, some lines of defense were inevitably broken through by the Russian army.

Russian soldiers, armed with rifles with bayonets, jumped into the trenches of the Polish army. But the oncoming bayonets pierced their chests.

"I'm going to kill you, Pole!" A tall Russian soldier yelled.

However, his body was almost frozen, so much so that his reflexes became less sensitive. A short Polish soldier easily blocked the bayonet of this Russian soldier. Then he quickly turned around and plunged the bayonet into his chest.

"Phew! Are the Russians so useless? Such a tall figure, but in fact, there is no strength at all! The Polish soldier said disdainfully. He seemed to have forgotten that the Russian soldier he had killed was just a single coat on his body, and his muscles had been frozen to a blue and purple color. And he was wrapped in a thick cotton coat.

Although the fighting skills of Russian soldiers are very bad, they can often take advantage of their strength in previous battles. But this time, they were shivering from the cold, but they couldn't take advantage of it at all in the white-knuckle battle with the Polish Army. Instead, they were killed one after another by the Polish Army.

After discovering that these Russian soldiers were not so tough, the Polish soldiers were even more demoralized.

However, as more and more Russian soldiers poured into the positions, the defensive lines of the Polish Army's 22nd Infantry Division and 23rd Infantry Division were also in a hurry.

Under such circumstances, the commander of the 3rd Army of the Polish Army, Lieutenant General Vaszkiewicz, had to send reinforcements to the front. Fortunately, he had ordered the other troops to send an infantry regiment to stand by. So, he still has enough reinforcements in his hands.

When regiment after regiment of fresh troops was put into the battlefield, the Polish Army finally drove out the Russian troops who had attacked their own defense lines, and barely regained their defensive lines.

"Tell the troops at the front that as long as they hold out until dawn, we will win! When the time comes, the Luftwaffe will make these Russians pay a heavy price! Lieutenant General Vashkiewicz ordered.

Although the battle is still very fierce, their defense line may be broken by the Russians at any time. But Lieutenant General Vaszkiewicz is still optimistic about this fight. He still has a lot of reserves in his hands that are not used. If necessary, additional troops could be drawn from other units for reinforcement.

Although the Russians were very strong, the cold weather and poor supplies made the combat effectiveness of these Russian soldiers drop to a very bad level, which allowed the Polish Army to resist the Russian attack at a relatively small cost. Lieutenant General Vaszkiewicz even thought that if they could withstand the Russian attack in this terrible battle, it would be of great benefit to the Polish Army and to him personally.

The commanders of the Russian army, General Zhukov and Lieutenant General Konev, are also always paying attention to the development of the war situation. The faces of the two were expressionless, albeit expressionless. However, their nervousness was evident in their eyes.

"Comrade commander, our troops have just broken through the German lines, but it didn't take long for them to drive them out again. Now the casualties of the troops are very large! A staff officer of the Russian army said.

"Order the troops to continue the offensive, and not to retreat without permission! Violators will be dealt with by military law. This time we must do whatever it takes to tear apart the Poles' defenses! Lieutenant General Konev ordered.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The staff officer immediately went to the flotilla and gave orders.

Although, the heavy casualties of the troops made Lieutenant General Konev's heart feel as if he was dripping blood. However, the more we get to such a juncture, the more we cannot relax. Otherwise, all the work will be wasted. The previous losses were all in vain. Lieutenant General Konev didn't want to be like that.

"Order the 33rd Army, and go into battle in an hour!" General Zhukov ordered.

The tragic fighting made the attacking 19th Army and the 20th Army pay great losses. Many of the troops had already been crippled and suffered extremely heavy losses. In such a situation, it is necessary to invest in new forces. Otherwise, by the time the 19th and 20th armies were no longer able to attack, they would no longer be able to pose any threat to the Polish lines.

"Yes, Comrade Commander."

As the Russian army continues to put more troops into the front line, the Polish Army and the Belarusian Army are under tremendous pressure. In order to hold the line, they also had to put more troops into the defense. Although the casualties of the troops were not small, they were overall much smaller than those of the Russian army.

Time passed little by little, and when the sky was already bright, the Russian army still failed to break through the defensive line of the Polish army and the White army. Obviously, this time the attack failed again.

In order to avoid suffering further losses, General Zhukov once again gave the order to retreat.

Soon after the order of General Zhukov, Luftwaffe fighters appeared. They began to bomb and strafe the Russian army, further aggravating the losses of the Russian army.
