Chapter 288: Sending Death (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Damn, we haven't even built our fortifications yet, and the Russians are attacking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info In this case, our casualties will continue to rise! A middle-aged major general officer with an angry face. He was none other than Major General Bessen, commander of the German 24th Infantry Division.

"General, there is no way around it. The Russians are not stupid, they know that once our defense line is completed, if they attack again, they will have to fill it with human lives. And that's no different from looking for death. As long as the Russians' brains weren't caught in the door, they wouldn't have given us more time. A young colonel officer said helplessly. He was none other than the commander of the 8th Panzer Division, Colonel Guderian.

"Hmmm! However, even so, the Russians should not want to take Pvavi back! His Highness has asked us to hold out here for two days. We can do it. Major General Besson said confidently.

Even though, the losses in this battle may be more than he expected. But Major General Bessen still believed that the elite German army could be firmly nailed here like a nail until the main force arrived.

"Yes, General, I think so completely. Once the Russian offensive is too fierce, the 8th Panzer Division will send tanks to directly crush the Russians. I believe that we will be able to thwart their plot. Colonel Guderian was even more confident.

After several major battles in succession, the 8th Panzer Division has been able to win every time, and it has become synonymous with victory. This also made Colonel Guderian more and more confident.

Major General Bessen nodded, if it was only the 24th Infantry Division, he believed that even if he could stop the Russian army, he would have suffered heavy losses. However, with the assistance of the 8th Panzer Division, everything was different. Even if the 8th Panzer Division lost a lot of tanks, the remaining hundreds of tanks would also become a nightmare for the Russians. The Russians, if they want to break through their defenses, it is absolutely impossible.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ā€

The artillery of the German 24th Infantry Division opened fire, and 18 150-mm heavy howitzers, 36 105-mm light howitzers and 54 75-mm field guns, which had long been in the artillery positions, began to fire frantically.

One after another, the shells whistled and smashed into the ranks of the Russian army. The explosion of the shell, like the scythe of death, took away all the lives of the nearby Russian soldiers, leaving only a stump and a deep crater.

The artillery of the infantry divisions of the German 8th Army Corps was undoubtedly greatly improved compared to the infantry divisions of other countries. An infantry division was armed with 108 cannons of various calibers, and even 150-mm heavy guns. In addition to the American imperialists and tyrants on the other side of the ocean, it is estimated that they are the only ones. Of course, this is a lot of money. However, in the war, so many powerful artillery pieces also played a huge role. Whether in offensive or defensive operations, the first thing the enemy has to face is their terrifying artillery fire. This can not only cause a lot of casualties to the enemy, but at the same time, it is also a major blow to the enemy's morale.

Shells rained down, killing and wounding Russian soldiers. Even though the soldiers of the Russian army are still launching the Ula charge, the fear on the faces of every Russian soldier is getting deeper and deeper.

Although, the defensive line of the German 24th Infantry Division had not yet been built. However, the firepower that should be there is not bad. Mortars, grenadiers, general-purpose machine guns and squad machine guns are readily available. However, these weapons cannot be deployed in a solid firing point, but can only be deployed directly on the trenches. But in the same way, the power of these weapons can be brought into play.

"Fire, kill all these Russians!"

With the order of the front-line commander, mortars, grenadiers, general-purpose machine guns and squad machine guns began to be fired. The intensive firepower directly made the attacking Russian army pay a heavy price. Countless Russian soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and their bodies were full of holes left by bullets. Even some Russian soldiers were directly torn to shreds.

"The Germans are too powerful in firepower! Fighting against such an army, if there is no strong firepower to support it, is really a loss. A Russian general put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed.

"In the whole of Europe and even the whole world, perhaps only the Germans have the capital to equip the troops with such powerful firepower!"

"I heard that even the German Army is not all equipped with such equipment. Only the 8th Army Corps was equipped with such powerful firepower. ā€

The generals of the Russian army have been talking about this. Although, the Germans were slaughtering their soldiers with powerful firepower, this did not prevent their envy. They even fantasized that if their troops could be equipped with such powerful firepower, maybe they would not have been defeated so badly. Of course, this is just a matter of thinking. They all knew that with Russia's financial resources, it would be impossible for the Russian army to be equipped with such extravagant equipment. Besides, the superiority of the Russian Army lies not in weapons and equipment, but in strength. Crushing the enemy with a huge superiority in forces is what they are good at.

The soldiers of the Russian army were very brave, and they launched an attack in the face of the dense fire of the German army. It's just that such an attack is more like sending to death. The lives of the soldiers of the Russian army are as if they are worthless. Perhaps their greatest role was to consume the ammunition of the German army.

The German 8th Air Force also rushed to help. These pilots have already been angry with the Russians. The Russian army used the tactics of day and night, so that they almost had no use. They don't want to be spectators of this war. Therefore, after learning that the Russian army was attacking Pwavi, the commander of the 8th Air Force, Brigadier General Cory, immediately asked Qin Tian to fight. And Qin Tian also approved their request for battle.

Two groups of F2 fighters and one group of H1 bombers appeared over the battlefield. Their arrival made the Russian troops on the ground panic, and even many people turned around and fled directly. The Russian army, which was not intimidated by the intensive fire of the German army, was frightened by the German planes.

However, the pilots of the 8th Air Force obviously would not let the Russians go so easily. They immediately attacked.

"Da Da Da!"

The bullets of the aviation machine gun of the F2 fighter chased the Russian army, and countless Russian soldiers were torn to pieces under the bullets of the powerful aviation machine gun.

H1 bombers also began to drop bombs, throwing bombs like dumplings into the ranks of the Russian army, taking their lives.
