Jagged Germany: Chapter 326 crushed

   "God! Those damned Germans have rushed through our anti-tank trenches. Fire up and stop them!" The faces of the Russian commanders changed drastically. Before the battle began, they were full of confidence in their anti-tank trenches, thinking that they would be able to stop the advance of the German armored forces.

  But I didn't expect that the German army would easily crack their tactic. Those dark tanks are approaching their line of defense and are about to launch an attack.

   In the absence of anti-tank weapons, it is almost impossible to resist the attack of the German armored forces only by relying on anti-tank trenches. At most, it will cause some troubles for the German army.

   "Attack! Break through the Russian defenses and crush them all." Colonel Rommel's face remained indifferent.

  After the outbreak of the Great War, the 8th Armored Division no longer knew how many Russian defense lines it had crushed. This time, too. The weak defense of the Russians made it impossible to stop the tanks of the 8th Armored Division. The tracks of the tank will crush everything to pieces.

   "Da da da!" On the Russian army's position, machine guns fired wildly. Dense bullets were fired at the German tanks, but apart from knocking off the paint of the tanks, these bullets could not penetrate the thick armor of the tanks at all.

   "Boom!" The tank launched a counterattack. A tank artillery shell accurately hit the firepower of the Russian army's machine gun, blowing it into a pile of scrap iron.

   "Da da da!" The heading machine gun and coaxial machine gun at the front of the tank began to straf. With dense firepower, those Russian troops on the suppressed position couldn't even raise their heads, let alone counterattack.

  Under the attack of the German armored forces, the Russian defense line began to become precarious. It seems that it is only a matter of time before it is broken through.

   The infantry who had been following the German armored forces, also under the cover of these tanks, rushed to a place very close to the Russian defense line. Next, under the cover of tanks, they will break through the Russian defense line and provide protection for the tanks. After all, once one's own tanks break into the Russian army's position, they are very likely to be suicidally attacked by the Russian army. That is currently the only attack method that can pose a threat to German tanks.

  In the city of Chelm, the headquarters of the Russian army, the atmosphere became a little dignified. This is only the first day of the battle, but it is extremely disadvantageous to the Russian army. This also made the generals of the Russian 4th Army worried.

   "General, the current situation is not good for us. The Germans are attacking very quickly. Their tanks have broken through our anti-tank trenches and are about to attack our forward positions." A lieutenant general officer reported.

   "How could it be so fast? Didn't our anti-tank trenches work at all?" Such a result obviously made General Dimitriev a little unbelievable. Because, he knew that if the German tanks could not be stopped, their defense line would be like paper.

   "General, the Germans directly used more than a dozen trucks to load earth and rocks, and filled in two passages on our anti-tank trenches. And we have no way to stop this at all." The lieutenant general said with a bitter face.

   "Bastard! Damn Germans, how could they even think of such a tactic?" Admiral Dimitriev was very speechless. He felt like he had carefully prepared a punch, but it hit the cotton.

"General, our outer line of defense may not last long against the Germans. They will soon enter the city of Chelm. This place is no longer safe. General, please evacuate here before the Germans enter Chelm. " Another lieutenant general said.

  Once the German army breaks into the city of Chelm and starts street fighting with the Russian army. The generals of the Russian army have no confidence in whether they can win the street battle. Therefore, they hope that Admiral Dimitriev can evacuate here and retreat to a safe place.

  Admiral Dmitriev wanted to object, but when he thought that his own safety would be threatened if Chelm was caught in street fighting, he swallowed his objection directly.

"Okay, General Feodor, General Golovin, I leave the battle here to you. Although the German tank troops are very powerful, once they enter the street battle, they will definitely be constrained The narrow streets will restrict the performance of their weapons. Therefore, although the current situation is not good for us, we can certainly resist the Germans' attack and drag them here for the victory of General Ivanov , buy enough time." Admiral Dimitriev urged.

  Although the battle had just begun, he, the commander of the group army, fled, which would definitely have a certain impact on the morale of the troops. But for the sake of his own life, he couldn't care less.

   "Yes, General." Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin nodded again and again.

"The 22nd Army, over there, I will let them speed up. They will reach Chelm the day after tomorrow at the most. Three armies, 150,000 people, can withstand the German attack no matter what." Admiral Mitriyev continued.

   Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin also think so. The German army's offensive power is very strong, but if street fighting starts, the German army will definitely not have such a big advantage anymore. They don't talk about defeating the German army, and if they persist for half a month, there should be no major problems. Maybe, they could also defeat the German army by virtue of their strength in street battles. In that case, they have made great achievements.

   After Admiral Dmitriev explained this, he quickly withdrew from Chelm and retreated to a safe rear.

   And it was when Admiral Dimitriev withdrew from Cheum that the German armored forces broke through the forward positions of the Russian army.

   "Crunch! Crunch!"

  The tracks of the tank crushed the ground and broke through the Russian defense line.

   "Run! The German tanks are rushing up." The Russian army on the ground had already been terrified. After discovering that the German tanks were crushed up, they even ran away.

"Da da da!"

  The machine guns on the German tanks started firing, and rows of bullets shot out, knocking down all the Russian soldiers who were trying to escape.

   More and more tanks broke through the positions of the Russian army. The tracks of the tanks were crushing wantonly on the positions of the Russian army. The fortifications of the Russian army were directly crushed, and some Russian soldiers who did not have time to escape were even crushed into meat paste.
