Chapter 1117: Collapse (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Boom!"
A German 'Tiger' tank blew up a Russian machine-gun fire point into the sky with one shot. The tracks of the tank, crushed to the ground, made that kind of sound that made people listen to the sore teeth.
After the tank drove by, two red marks were left on the ground, which were the blood stains left on the tracks by the Russian soldiers who had been crushed by the tanks before, and if you looked closely, there were even meat foams in the gaps of the tracks.
More than a dozen German soldiers, even advancing behind the tanks. Under the cover of tanks, they did not have to worry about being hit by the machine-gun fire of the Russian army. The tank's sturdy armor is able to provide them with protection.
"Damn Germans, go die!"
As the tank drove through a trench, a Russian soldier jumped out, holding a cluster grenade with a lead in his arms, and quickly rushed towards the 'Tiger' tank, trying to blow it up.
In addition to the tank gun, the Tiger tank also has two machine guns, one is a heading machine gun deployed in front and the other is a coaxial machine gun. It's just that in the face of such a sudden attack, neither of these two machine guns could cope in time. The speed at which the turret of the tank rotates, after all, is not fast.
At this time, the role of the infantrymen who fought behind the tanks was manifested.
"Bang bang bang!"
The semi-automatic rifles in the hands of several German soldiers opened fire, and the Russian soldier, before he could rush in front of the tank, was beaten into a honeycomb.
"Boom!"
The cluster grenade exploded, directly blowing the Russian soldier to pieces.
I have to admit that after the brainwashing of political workers, the Russian soldiers fought very bravely, and they didn't take their lives seriously at all. These soldiers, they are all very good soldiers. It's just that in the face of the powerful German army, the bravery of these Russian soldiers could not save their defeat. In the face of the siege of the German army and the Ukrainian army with superior forces, the Russian Southern Front is moving towards defeat step by step.
"Oh God! Those Russians are so tenacious. By this time, they would rather be killed by all of us than surrender. Those guys, they're so tenacious! A German soldier said.
"No, they're stupid. Those high-ranking members of the Russian army have never taken the lives of these ordinary soldiers into account. The Russians were so populous that they could easily arm a large number of troops. Therefore, their generals will not care about the life and death of these soldiers. A German officer sighed.
In contrast, this was not the case with the German Army, which tried to avoid casualties as much as possible during the battle. So, the German Army was armed with the best weapons in the world.
Of course, this does not mean that the German army is afraid of death, on the contrary, if the time comes to fight to the death, they will show courage that is not inferior to that of any other country's army. It's just that their sacrifice must be worthwhile, and it will not be a senseless sacrifice like the Russians. Their trapped beasts were still fighting, and they could not cause any losses to the German army, at most, it only delayed the German offensive speed.
In the battle to besiege the Southern Front of the Russian army, the three group armies of the Ukrainian army also performed well. In particular, the 1st Army of the Ukrainian Army may have had the experience of attacking the territory of Burussia before, and they are more brave in the battle. The combat effectiveness shown, although it cannot be compared with the German army, is no worse than the Russian army. This made the German generals very satisfied. Even Admiral Brauchitsch has already planned to let the Ukrainian army take on more important tasks in the next war.
"Rush! Kill all these Russians who have invaded our territory! "A large group of Ukrainian soldiers, led by officers, shouted slogans and charged the Russian defense line.
The Russian troops on the defensive line, under the fire of the German and Ukrainian troops, have already suffered heavy losses. Their counterattack caused a little casualties to the Ukrainian army. However, soon their positions were overwhelmed by the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army, in this battle, is also very heroic. Of course, there is a very important reason for this, and that is that they are fighting to defend their homeland.
Although, it was Germany's plan to let the Russian army invade the territory of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian top brass also knew about it. But these ordinary soldiers don't know it! Under the deliberate guidance of the government, they see these Russian troops as invaders. In order to defeat these invaders and protect their country, they fought with great courage.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our army is doing well, right?" The smile on the face of the commander of the 1st Army of the Ukrainian Army, Lieutenant General Vladimir.
Admiral Maxim nodded: "Well, it's very good, it's not in vain that we have invested a lot of financial and material resources in the army over the years. Hopefully, the German Reich will be satisfied with this. In this way, by defeating Russia, we will not only be able to ensure our own security, but perhaps even gain more benefits. ”
Ukraine has always regarded the Bruxenos as great enemies and feared that the Bruxenos would invade them. The economic conditions of Ukraine now are much better than they were during the period of Russian rule, and they do not want to be enslaved by Russia anymore. In addition, Germany promised that after winning the war, it would distribute the benefits of the war according to the performance of each country in the war.
"We will definitely become the most powerful of the many protectorates of the empire!" Lieutenant General Vladimir is confident in this.
The trapped beasts of the Southern Front of the Russian Army were still fighting and did not hold out for much time.
Under the siege of the German and Ukrainian troops, the Russian 18th Army collapsed first. After their line of defense was breached, a large number of Russian troops began to break and flee, and there was even a phenomenon of surrender to the Germans. Although those political workers tried their best to suppress it, it was useless.
Subsequently, the 12th Army of the Russian army also followed in such footsteps.
By September 25, the Southern Front of the Russian army, which had invaded Ukraine, was all annihilated by the German and Ukrainian armies. Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, except for more than 100,000 surrendered, the rest were wiped out.
Commander Marshal Budyonny, committed suicide and martyrdom. Political commissar Lieutenant General Zaporozhye and others, on the contrary, surrendered. It can be seen that these political workers are completely saying one thing and doing another. When their lives were threatened, they suddenly threw aside their ideals and beliefs, and the most important thing was to save their lives first.
After the annihilation of the Russian Southern Front, the German Army Group D began to plan to re-enter the territory of the Russian Union and attack Josevgrad. And several other Russian fronts, also under the fierce attack of the German army, could not hold on.
The western defense line built by the Russian army has collapsed on all fronts.
