"Oh God! What are we going to do, are we going to go on the offensive? "Some of the Cossack cavalry was timid. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the bravest people will be timid when faced with such a situation. Their courage will slowly fade as their comrades-in-arms fall one after another.

Under the heavy fire of the Germans, the casualties of the Cossack cavalry began to skyrocket, which made them timid.

However, there were still brave Cossack cavalry, charging against the strong fire of the Germans. And even succeeded.

A coaxial machine gun and a course machine gun of a tank, because of overheating, at the same time stopped firing. This gave a couple of brave Cossack cavalrymen the opportunity to rush through the last hundred meters and rush in front of the German tanks.

"Damn Germans, you are all devils, let me die!" One of the Cossack cavalrymen shouted loudly, he raised his saber in the air and looked fiercely at the tank.

"Dang!"

A crisp sound sounded, and the invincible saber slashed hard at the tank. However, I saw that the saber was directly broken. And the damage caused by this blow to the tank was just a little paint dropped.

"This ...... How is this possible? The Cossack cavalryman, looking at his broken saber, was completely speechless.

Several other Cossack cavalrymen were also stunned at the same time.

"It's the devil's weapon. Even if it is a weapon of the devil, we will destroy it. Another Cossack cavalryman said.

A few Cossack cavalrymen slashed around the tank, and sparks flew everywhere. But it did not cause any substantial damage to the tank at all. A few armored soldiers in the tank were frightened for a while. However, when it was discovered that the Cossack cavalry could not threaten them at all, one by one they breathed a sigh of relief.

When the machine guns had cooled down, the tankmen attacked.

"Da Da Da!"

The Cossack cavalry directly in front of the tank was killed by the heading machine gun. At the same time, the turret of the tank began to rotate, and the coaxial machine gun began to strafe, bringing the rest of the Cossack cavalry to a honeycomb.

"Stupid fellows, do they really think that a saber can cut through strong armor?" Colonel Guderian was speechless.

"They've paid for their stupidity. Although I have to admit that they are all warriors, very brave. However, such bravery will only cost them their lives. Lieutenant Colonel Rommel shook his head.

"Order all the tanks to move forward and finish them off." Colonel Guderian ordered.

More than a hundred tanks, began to move forward. Although, their speed is not fast. But the powerful firepower is still reaping the lives of these Cossack cavalrymen. In the eyes of the Cossack cavalry, these tanks had become synonymous with the devil.

"Run! Run! We can't beat the Germans, they will kill us. ”

"Retreat, retreat immediately."

Brave Cossack cavalry, timid at this moment. In front of the 8th Panzer Division, they had lost the courage to continue fighting.

"Defeated, we failed. Retreat! Major General Andrei's face was dead.

"Retreat now!" Major General Karsky nodded and gave the order to retreat.

It's just that there are not many Cossack cavalry divisions left in the two Cossack cavalry divisions of the Russian army at all. More than half of them were killed or wounded in battle and left to die on the battlefield.

There were still many people who were lost in the war, Major General Andrei and Major General Karsky, and the number of people who were finally able to collect was less than 2,000. These two Cossack cavalry divisions can be regarded as being crippled in this battle.

Qin Tian and General Hindenburg, who had been watching the battle from the rear, almost dropped their jaws when they learned that the Russian Cossack cavalry had actually launched a charge against the 8th Panzer Division.

Especially Qin Tian, even more so. Originally, he thought that the Polish cavalry charging the German tanks in the history books was apocryphal. But now it seems that there is such a thing!

"Your Highness, the defeat of the Russian Cossack cavalry by the 8th Panzer Division should have been the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Russians will no longer have the courage to continue fighting. Therefore, I think the Russians should have fled immediately. Has the 20th Army arrived at its intended position? If they can block the Russians' retreat, we will have a big victory. Admiral Hindenburg said with some excitement.

"Send a telegram to General Mackensen. They had to move fast and not give the Russians too much time. Otherwise, our victory would not have been perfect. Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Ludendorff immediately arranged for someone to send a telegram.

Half an hour later, the commander of the 20th Army, Lieutenant General Mackenson, called back that the 20th Army had arrived at the predetermined position and was stepping up time to build a defensive line and prepare to block the Russian army.

This news made Qin Tian and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

When Qin Tian and the others thought that they had won the victory, the headquarters of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army was gloomy.

"Your Excellency, the secret weapon of the Germans is too powerful. Two of our cavalry divisions attacked, and both were defeated by them. Two divisions, now there are less than two thousand people left. Major General Andrei said with red eyes.

"Even the Cossack cavalry was no match for the Germans? How can this battle continue! Admiral Samsonov couldn't help but sigh.

"General, find a way to retreat. The Germans were advancing on us, and the troops along the road, unable to stop them at all, were about to collapse at the touch of a button. If you don't retreat again. It won't be long before they hit us. One of the generals suggested.

It was clear that the 2nd Army, which was now suffering heavy losses, was no match for the Germans at all. If they insist any longer, they will only lose a lot.

"Well, order the troops, retreat at once. The 22nd Infantry Division and the 23rd Infantry Division, remained to hold off the Germans. In any case, it will take at least a day for us. Admiral Samsonov ordered.

He knew that if everyone retreated in a swarm, they would inevitably be followed by the Germans. When the time comes, the retreat will turn into a rout, and it will be a complete loss.

"Yes, General." The commanders of the two infantry divisions who were named had no choice but to accept orders.

But at this time, a staff officer hurriedly ran in.

"General, we found a large number of Germans behind us."

Suddenly, everyone's faces changed drastically.
