Chapter 1083: Take the initiative to attack
The Kingdom of Ukraine, as a country in which the Kaiser is also king, is also very strong among the many protectorates of Germany, with an army of 1.5 million troops, organized into six army groups and a number of independent troops. Among them, there were two armored divisions, two heavy artillery brigades, and two cavalry divisions.
Of course, most of the tanks equipped by the Ukrainian armored divisions are tanks eliminated by the German Army. But even so, the performance is quite advanced. At least, in the current international arena, there are very few that can crush them in terms of weapons and equipment.
The Ukrainian General Staff, Prime Minister Fedorov and War Minister Andrei arrived here early in the morning. Because the place where the attack was launched was in the southwest of Ukraine, they did not rush to the front line either.
"General Maxim, has the offensive begun?" Prime Minister Fedorff asked.
Although the strength of the Kingdom of Ukraine has been greatly improved since the independence of Russia, perhaps because it has been ruled and oppressed by Russia for a long time, Prime Minister Fedorff and others have subconsciously developed a trace of fear of Russia, for fear that their army will be defeated by the Russians.
"Your Excellency, the offensive has not yet begun. Still, we should be able to defeat the Russians. Admiral Maxim said. Compared with Prime Minister Fedorff, he is undoubtedly a little more confident. Because, he understands better how strong the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army is.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, don't worry too much, the combat effectiveness of our army is still very strong. After all, our army is equipped with German-style weapons, although they were re-equipped by German troops, but they are still advanced weapons, at least, more advanced than the weapons of the Russian army. At the same time, it has been the German instructors who have been helping us train our troops for several years. As a result, the troops' mental outlook and will to fight have been greatly strengthened. As long as we don't encounter the real elite troops of the Burussians, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Andrei also said.
"Rostov-on-Don is only a few tens of kilometers from our borders. At the speed of the 1st Army, the 1st Panzer Division, the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Division, it would be possible to hit there in two days. And nearby, there are no main forces of the Russians, at most some border guards. We should soon be able to take Rostov-on-Don and then evacuate before the arrival of the main forces of the Russians. In this case, the Russians will have nothing to do with us. The security of the troops can also be ensured. Admiral Maxim said.
It was only at this time that Chancellor Fedorff put his hanging heart back into his stomach.
"In other words, this time we will make the Russians suffer a big loss, right?" Prime Minister Fedorff asked.
"If there were no accidents, it should be like this!" Andrei nodded.
"Oh God! It's hard to imagine that we, Ukraine, will take the initiative to attack Russia one day. You know, the current Bu Russia is even more powerful than the original Tsarist Russia! Chancellor Fedorff lamented.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this time we will not only attack the Russians, but we will also defeat the Russians completely. The German Empire had been preparing for this war for a long time. With the strength of the German Empire, the Russians simply could not resist. "Admiral Maxim is very confident in Germany's military strength. He was also convinced that the German Empire would definitely defeat Russia this time.
"Well, I also believe that the German Empire will be victorious. As a protectorate of the German Empire, the Kingdom of Ukraine also had to do its best in this war. Russia is our worst enemy, and only when Russia is destroyed can we be truly safe. Our people will not fear being enslaved by Russia for generations to come! Chancellor Fedorff said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Both Andrei and Admiral Maxim replied loudly. As generals of the Kingdom of Ukraine, they naturally hope that their army can perform better in this battle.
At the front, the command of the 1st Army of the Ukrainian Army, Lieutenant General Vladimir is observing the battles at the front line with a telescope. Half an hour earlier, the Ukrainian army began shelling. Because of Germany's intelligence support, the Ukrainian army was very clear about the deployment of the Russian army on the border before the attack.
The Ukrainian army gathered several hundred artillery pieces and launched a heavy artillery attack on the 189th division of the border guards in Burussia. It was morning, and the Russian soldiers had not yet gotten up. When the shells landed in the barracks, many people were awakened. They didn't even have time to put on their pants and ran out of the barracks. There are even quite a few Russian soldiers who lost their lives in their sleep.
After heavy shelling, the Ukrainian army went on the attack. The 1st Armored Division of the Ukrainian Army, leading the way. The tanks used by this armored division are all 'Leopard 1' or 'Leopard 2' tanks used by the German armored forces before, and their performance is far from being comparable to the 'Black Panther' tanks that the German armored forces are equipped with now. However, the Ukrainian army is already quite satisfied with this.
Hundreds of tanks, forming a torrent of steel, rushed to the territory of Burussia.
The tracks of the tanks crushed across the border and slaughtered the positions of the Buen-Russian border guards.
The previous fierce shelling made the Buishen-Russian border guards dizzy. As border guards, they are nothing more than second-line troops of the Russian Army, poorly equipped and with a weak will to fight. It's no problem to bully those civilians and arrest a few fugitives. However, to let them go to war, against the fierce attack of the enemy, it is undoubtedly difficult for some strong people.
What's more, the Ukrainian army also used a large number of tanks and heavy artillery this time, and such weapons and equipment are even stronger than the Burussian field troops. This naturally led those Buffo-Russian border guards to think that their enemies were not Ukrainians at all, but powerful Germans. It seems that only the Germans can be equipped with so many advanced weapons.
In such a situation, can these border guards still be counted on to hold their ground? They fled before the armored units of the Ukrainian army rushed in front of them. Although they can't fight a war, their ability to escape is undoubtedly good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been stationed on the border for so long.
The vulnerability of the Russian army in Brazzaville greatly cheered up the Ukrainian army. At the same time, the fear in my heart completely dissipated because of this. More than 200,000 troops, after crossing the border, went directly to Rostov-on-Don.
