Jagged Germany: Chapter 221 Last Chance ask for a monthly ticket

   "Boom! Boom!"

  A grenadier is firing crazily, launching grenades weighing 0.5 kilograms into the Russian army ranks three to four hundred meters away. Although, a grenade weighing only 0.5 kilograms is only slightly more powerful than a grenade. However, the distance of a few hundred meters is beyond the reach of manpower. Coupled with the light weight, a person can easily carry it away while carrying a rifle. Two or three additional grenades for the other soldiers are enough for a battle. Therefore, once this weapon was equipped with troops, it won the favor of soldiers of the German Army.

  The infantry of the 8th Army, each squad is equipped with such a grenadier. This allowed the infantry firepower of the German 8th Army to be further improved. An infantry squad was, at some point, even able to hold its own against a platoon of the enemy.

  Grenades exploded in the queue of the Russian army, and Russian soldiers were blown away from time to time.

   "God! How come there are so many German machine guns and small-caliber artillery? Are we really not facing the main force of the Germans?" Many Russian soldiers asked themselves this way.

  In the propaganda of the Russian generals, the enemy they faced was nothing more than the worst unit in the German Army. The Russian generals had good intentions and wanted to use this to build confidence for the Russian soldiers. However, after seeing the strength of the German army, it actually aroused more fear in the hearts of the Russian soldiers.

  In their view, the weakest branch of the German Empire Army is so powerful, how powerful the elite troops must be!

   "Da da da!" A general-purpose machine gun was firing crazily, and a chain of bullets was fired in less than a minute, and the barrel had already turned red.

   There are at least hundreds of Russian soldiers shot and killed by this general-purpose machine gun. However, there are still many Russian troops attacking frantically in front of the position, making the German soldiers dare not slack off for a moment.

   "Boom!"

  A 76.2mm artillery shell fell from the sky and hit this point of fire. This heavy machine gun was blown into parts all at once, scattered everywhere. And the machine gunner was killed on the spot.

   This heavy machine gun was destroyed, which also caused a loophole in the German defense line. The Russian soldiers who were suppressed lying on the ground and unable to advance a step immediately seized this opportunity, got up from the ground, and began to charge.

  However, these Russian soldiers had just ran out a few steps when they were knocked to the ground by oncoming machine gun bullets.

  The layout of the firepower points of the German army is very scientific. Usually two or more machine guns form cross firepower points. In this way, even if one of the machine guns is destroyed, the other machine guns can block the enemy's attack path with fire. Give the reserve machine guns time to bring up.

  The German army successfully withstood the Russian attack with powerful firepower. And it caused the Russian army to pay great casualties. But at the same time, the artillery of the Russian army was also causing casualties to the German army. The falling shells are taking the lives of brave German soldiers.

  The artillery of the German army is suppressing the artillery of the Russian army. Although, under their shelling, many artillery positions of the Russian army have been destroyed. But it will take time to completely destroy all the artillery positions of the Russian army. Although they have worked hard, they still cannot completely destroy the Russian artillery in a short time.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  A 150mm heavy howitzer position of the German army, six 150mm heavy howitzers, are firing fiercely. The target of their shelling was an artillery position of the Russian army.

  The shells of the 150mm heavy howitzer weigh tens of kilograms, and their power is far beyond that of a small-caliber artillery such as the 76.2mm field gun. Almost every shell that falls leaves a huge crater in the ground.

  The artillery position of the Russian army has been almost destroyed. Of the dozen or so 76.2mm howitzers originally deployed here, only two are still firing. The other cannons have been destroyed, and some even have their barrels twisted like twists. The corpses of the artillerymen on the ground were scattered all over the place. Some are even just a pile of minced meat.

  The last two cannons on this artillery position of the Russian army did not last long. Just two minutes later, they misfired one after another. The German heavy artillery began to shift targets and continued to shell the next Russian artillery position.

  As the artillery positions of the Russian army were continuously destroyed by the heavy artillery of the German army, the threat they posed to the German army became smaller and smaller. This allowed the German soldiers to devote more energy to dealing with the Russian infantry.

  The generals of the Russian army also realized this, and the situation seemed to be becoming more and more unfavorable to them.

   "General, our artillery has suffered heavy losses. Up to now, we have lost more than 60% of our artillery. The remaining artillery will not last long." The artillery commander reported to Admiral Leiningkamp.

Admiral Leiningkamp's brows could not help but frowned tightly. Although they had caused some casualties to the German army in the battle just now, the German army's firepower was too strong, making it impossible for the Russian army to break through the German army's attack. The line of defense, at the same time the loss is very large. Once the artillery of the Russian army is destroyed, this will further reduce the threat of the Russian army. It is even more difficult for the Russian army to break through the German defense line and escape from birth.

   "Let the artillery continue to fire, no matter what, we must continue to attack the Germans." Admiral Leiningkamp ordered.

   "Yes, General." The artillery commander nodded, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

  The artillery of the Russian army is not very strong. After this fierce battle, it will cause serious damage to the artillery of the Russian army.

"Let our cavalry get ready to attack in ten minutes. This is our last chance. If the cavalry can seize this opportunity and break through the German defenses, we will be able to break through their encirclement. If the cavalry If we all fail, then we are really doomed." Admiral Leiningkamp said.

   "Yes, General." The commanders of the two cavalry divisions replied.

  The Russian 1st Army has only two cavalry divisions. In the previous battles, these two divisions also lost a lot of people, and now there are only more than 6,000 people left. But even so, this is already the most powerful assault force in the hands of Admiral Leiningkamp. He has high hopes for this cavalry, hoping that they can seize this last chance and bring victory to the Russian army.
