"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Thunder and screams, countless shells burst through the air from the dark and deep barrels, cut through straight and curved ballistic arcs, and then roared down like meteors, provoking a fiery light wave like a volcanic eruption. The sand and gravel flew into the sky, shrednel shot everywhere, and only ten minutes later, the originally calm Russian outpost position had turned into a sea of fire; Looking down from the sky, the fire in the eastern field is as dense as the stars; Between the gaps in the crater flames, earth-gray figures fleeing for their lives could be seen everywhere.

With a deafening roar and a strong wind, more than a dozen wooden-skinned German one-winged Fokker fighters were shuttling high and low over the vast field, like lightning flying. With the short and accurate point fire of the Makqin heavy machine gun, several Russian observation balloons floating over the battlefield were all blown up without any suspense. The fat, three-winged Gotha bomber, with its round bombs, roared behind the fighters. On the other side of the land, a large number of German soldiers dressed in the gray uniforms of the wilderness swept eastward like a tide, and it was more than 20 Panzel tanks with rivets all over their bodies and steel belts on both sides that led the storming troops!

Half a year ago, in order to maximize the benefits of the French battlefield, the German army transferred all these invulnerable steel monsters to the Western Front cluster, and indeed achieved quite significant achievements in the early stage of the war. Over time, however, the French army had gradually mastered the means of dealing with these iron fellows; In front of their heavily armed and high-performance Schneider 1897 75mm cannons, these primary tanks were either destroyed by penetrating armored vehicles or broke down under the violent collision and explosion of shells. As a result, the number of losses has risen sharply. Due to the current limited level of mechanical technology. The stability of this weapon needs to be improved; It is already excellent that it can be carried out normally without breaking down. It is obviously extremely difficult to expect it to have quite good durability characteristics!

For this reason, when the German General Staff transferred three new armies to the Eastern Front to form the new 11th Army, a considerable part of the tank units were sent to the battlefield against Russia under the construction of the Qing Dynasty. Compared to the Western Front, the Eastern Front is clearly the best place for these iron men to exert their might: the plains of Ukraine and Belarus are far wider than the battlefields of France, and the Russian army has far less artillery than the British and French, and the forces that can threaten them are drastically reduced. The only thing that can limit them. There are only logistical replenishments and mechanical breakdowns that are inherently unpredictable.

According to the original plan of the Hin-Lu, the net was to be closed a week after the Russian attack, but the Russians advanced faster than they expected, and in only five days the whole army entered Romanian territory, reaching the capital city of Bregaste in the heart of the hinterland. Every day, urgent telegrams from Romania were sent like snowflakes, all of which were crying out for the siege of the troops, the loss of the country, the loss of towns, the influx of refugees, and other critical and tragic conditions, and hoarsely urging the German-Austrian troops deployed in Transylvania to do their best to help. The government in Bregast also hinted in a rare tone of hard language to Berlin and Vienna that if Russian forces were allowed to wreak havoc on Romanian territory, Romania would be too much damaged by its own resources in the future. It was no longer possible to provide Germany and Austria with support for the export of oil and grain.

For the pit nature of his allies, Xing-Lu has been mentally prepared to fight side by side with Austria-Hungary for several months. At the urging of the German-Austrian government. Xinglu decided to start the operation ahead of schedule, and on the 26th they scattered all their troops. In addition, he was really worried about the ability of the Romanian army to hold on to the fortifications when they were surrounded on all sides, lest one of them be unhappy like the Italians who could not pry open the ammunition boxes and surrendered - in the new round of fighting in the foothills of the Western Alps that had just ended, a battalion of Italian infantry with a full formation, with almost no resistance, guarded a pile of large wooden boxes full of ammunition and ammunition, and surrendered en masse to a French militia company of less than 100 men. The reason is that they didn't have a crowbar to get the damn thing out of the way! It is said that the Kaiser was furious when he heard the news, and privately claimed that if it were not for the Italians having an indispensable navy of the Allies in the Mediterranean, he would definitely send 10 divisions to directly occupy the entire Apennine Peninsula; The looted resource industry alone will help Germany in the war ten times more than it does now!

To Xinglu's comfort, due to the greed of the Russian army, the position of the big fish was not much different from their previous expectations, and the Germans could still carry out the encirclement operation as planned. And these fast-advancing Russian troops will inevitably have the logistical disconnection and fatigue of the soldiers of the 2nd Army in the Battle of Tannenberg, thus creating favorable conditions for the German army's smooth advance. At present, the main force of the Russian 11th Army has been transferred from Bukovina to the east, serving as a flank shield for several army groups deep into Romanian territory; And in order to achieve the encirclement of the main force of the Russian army, Xing-Lu sent out all these technical weapons that he had never had before, in order to knock down the opponent in the shortest possible time!

The Russian outposts, which were still a long way from the rear base where they had stockpiled their main army and ammunition supplies, gave them ample time to react in the event of a surprise attack. For a time, the German artillery bombardment was like a hornet's nest, and countless earth-gray streams of people rushed out of the barracks, first into silk streams, then into wide rivers, and finally formed a rolling tide that was even more powerful than the German army that came suddenly.

Due to the fact that there was no preparation for battle in advance, and it was impossible to build fortifications everywhere on the wide frontal front of Romania, the Russian army had no defensive line to hold, but directly engaged in a head-on attack with the Germans in the field. The horses neighed, the hooves thundered, and countless Cossack cavalrymen armed with long knives spread out to the wings, raising a thick cloud of yellow sand and dust; The infantry, on the other hand, slowly advanced in the center in cascades, looking for all kinds of natural shelter against direct fire. Looking down from the mound where Menshak was located, you could see the entire battlefield. For this ordinary private, this will be the most magnificent scene he has ever seen in his life: the number of attacking German troops has exceeded 10,000, and a large number of infantry is still pouring in at the farthest end of his sight; And this field is also the main garrison of the 7th Siberian Army where he is located, and there are currently no less than 4 brigades of men and horses that have been deployed in array. In less than three hours, the entire corps of more than 40,000 people will all rush to the battlefield, which will be the most standard encounter on the Eastern Front to meet the enemy!

"Boom! Rumble! The deafening explosion resounded throughout the battlefield, and the crowd of Russian troops burst into a surging red glow one after another. Within the reach of the air waves, the Russian soldiers within 20 meters of the surrounding area instantly flew flesh and blood, their limbs and bones were shattered, and they died on the spot. However, seeing this situation, experienced Russian commanders have already made up their minds: because of such a fierce and domineering explosion power, only heavy artillery with a caliber of 150 mm and above can do it, and at present, only these heavy shells have fallen into the crowd of Russian troops, which shows that the German army's small and medium-caliber artillery has lost the range of support! The wide depth between the outpost and the main force was now having the desired effect. No matter how rebellious the combat effectiveness of the German army is, it is impossible to realize that artillery accompanies the assault infantry at all times, but the Russian army, which is now fighting at home, can use all its artillery fire to meet the invading enemy.

Under the loud shouts of the Russian commanders, a cloud of fire suddenly exploded in the ranks of the German stragglers, and the blood rain and severed limbs sprayed and flew up. However, to the great disappointment of the Russian officers and men, their artillery fire in this situation was still not half superior to that of the Germans, and the power of those small-caliber guns was as good as mud compared with the heavy artillery of the other side. The few units of the Russian army with full artillery were lost in the previous battles. Now, even the headquarters of the 11th Army, which is shouldering heavy responsibilities, relies on nothing more than the fact that every soldier has a valuable rifle, and heavy artillery is simply an unattainable luxury!

And even then, the Germans did not give the Russians any chance. When their artillery fired, the Gotha bombers hovering in the air suddenly flew down like griffons that smelled blood, and bombarded the Russian artillery positions. So the suffering suffered by the French army in the early stage of the war finally came to the Russians at this moment. The shells that fell in the ranks of the German army became more and more sparse, and finally changed from a rather threatening to a painless state, and only the roar of German heavy artillery became louder and louder on the battlefield.

The wind was howling, the morning sun was shining, and in the fluttering clouds, three giant airships that were several times stronger than battleships gradually appeared. They are beige all over, their bows are painted with hideous shark decorations, and each airship is as big as a mountain. Since the departure position of these big cigars was located in the more secluded rear, and their own speed could only fly at about 35 knots, it was inevitable that they would fall behind the plane this time. However, the fear they bring to the Russian army is by no means comparable to these small numbers and primitive primary aircraft. Under the shocked gaze of the Russian officers and soldiers, a black cylinder suddenly fell straight down from the belly of the airship at an altitude of 1,000 meters, and the moment it fell to the ground and exploded, the second sun seemed to rise in front of the eyes of the Russian officers and soldiers...... (To be continued......)
