Admiral Samsonov's figure couldn't help but shake a little, if it weren't for the adjutant's quick help to him, he would definitely fall to the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The other Russian generals are all like dead mothers.

They all knew that at this moment, they had reached a desperate situation. If not, everybody will have to die here.

"Damn, from beginning to end, all this is a trap for the Germans. They lured us deeper and deeper at the beginning, all the way to Fort Tannan, and then gave us a head-on blow. Sadly, we didn't even notice it. Admiral Samsonov gritted his teeth with a look of remorse.

Some of the generals couldn't help but bow their heads, and some of them had questioned it, but in the end, everyone was carried away by the victory. That's what has led to this situation.

But alas, it's too late to say that. They are about to be destroyed.

"General, we still have a chance. The Germans have only just arrived to intercept our troops, and we can attack while they are not on a firm footing, and we will definitely be able to break through the German blockade. One of the generals suggested.

"Yes, that's right, we still have so many troops, and if we launch an onslaught, it may not be impossible to break through the German blockade." The other Russian generals echoed as if they had grasped the last straw.

People have the desire to survive, and the more powerful and high-ranking people are, the more they cherish their lives. If they can live, these Russian generals are naturally unwilling to die.

Admiral Samsonov also nodded, although he thought it would be very difficult. The Germans had painstakingly prepared this trap, and they would not be allowed to escape easily. But you can't just do nothing and just wait here to die. Even if you try it, it's good. That way, at least you can escape.

Admiral Samsonov knew that with his status and rank, even if the Russian army was defeated, his life would not be in danger, at most he would be put in a prisoner of war camp. However, if you can escape, it will be the best. Why should you be a lowly prisoner of war if you can be a high-ranking general?

"Well, organize the troops and launch an offensive against the German lines. Either way, be sure to break through their blockade. All the soldiers at high speed, this is our only chance to live. "said Admiral Samsonov.

"Yes, General." Everyone replied.

They all knew that this was their only chance to live, and they had to seize it. Otherwise, it's really a dead end.

With lives at stake, the efficiency of the Russian army has also become very rapid. In less than half an hour, they organized an army of more than 20,000 men to launch an attack on the defensive line of the German 20th Army.

"Humph! Do these Russians really think that our combat effectiveness is terrible and that we will be beaten by them? Let all the departments be ready and bring out all the combat strength. Let these Russians know how strong our real fighting power is! Lieutenant General Mackenson, commander of the 20th Army, ordered.

In order to lure the enemy, he was deliberately defeated by the Russian army, and it has always been a thorn in his heart! Now, it's a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves.

"Yes, General." The other generals of the 20th Army also held their breath, and they also wanted to be ashamed for a long time.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As soon as the Russian army launched an offensive, the German artillery bombardment began. The 20th Army has three infantry divisions, nearly 50,000 people, and is well-equipped, with more than 300 artillery pieces alone, including 162 75-mm field guns, 108 105-mm light howitzers, and 54 155-mm heavy howitzers. When these cannons began to fire at the same time, shells were overwhelmingly smashed at the Russian army.

Dense shells exploded in the ranks of the Russian army like raindrops, tearing countless Russian soldiers to pieces.

However, even so, those Russian soldiers are still gritting their teeth and charging. They were told by their superiors that this was their only chance to survive. If you don't catch it, you'll die. Therefore, these Russian soldiers couldn't help but pluck up their courage.

Courage is courage, but on the battlefield, victory or defeat is often not determined by courage. The Russian army, which finally mustered up its courage, faced the German army, which was armed to the teeth, and the victory or defeat was naturally obvious.

"Fire!"

When the Russian troops were not far from the German lines, the commander of the front gave the order to open fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Mortars and grenadiers were added to the firing. Shells and grenades of various calibers flew towards the ranks of the Russian troops, and after exploding, they left craters of different sizes on the ground. A large number of Russian soldiers were killed under heavy fire.

"Da Da Da!" A number of general-purpose machine guns and squad machine guns began to fire, forming a denser network of fire.

The attacking Russian army, under such a dense firepower, fell to the ground one by one, as if they were cutting wheat.

"Oh God!"

Seeing a large number of attacking Russian troops being shot and killed under the powerful firepower of the German army, the Russian generals who were hiding in the rear to watch the battle couldn't help but gasp.

At the same time, their hearts are sinking. They couldn't help but ask themselves, could they really rush out under such a strong German defense?

Although, it is true that the German defense line is a makeshift position that has just been constructed. However, the sophisticated weapons and powerful firepower make up for this shortcoming, and the defense line becomes impregnable.

"Use the Cossack cavalry and storm the German lines. On this line of defense, there was no secret weapon of the Germans, and the cavalry attack should be able to work. Admiral Samsonov gritted his teeth and said.

Three Cossack cavalry divisions were mobilized and once again launched an attack on the German positions. It's just that these Cossack cavalry, although they launched a heroic charge. However, in the end, it still did not succeed. Although the three infantry divisions of the 20th Army were not equipped with tanks, a large number of light and heavy machine guns were still a nightmare for the Cossack cavalry of the Russian army. The cavalry, which has the ability to quickly assault, crashed into the defensive line composed of a large number of machine guns, and still hit the stone with pebbles.

The offensive of the Cossack cavalry still did not succeed. Heroic, they left corpses in front of the German lines. However, the German defense line remained impregnable. Their attack, apart from consuming a lot of ammunition from the Germans, seemed to be of no use at all.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Russian army were desperate. The encirclement of the Germans had been successful, and the next thing was that they were all annihilated.
