“O God! What is this Germanic thing? Why can’t it be destroyed? ”
“O God! What kind of enemy are we fighting? ”
The brave Cossack cavalry was shocked by the scene in front of them. They never imagined that it would be like this.
Although, the Cossack cavalry was brave. However, when they find that their spears and sabers cannot kill the enemy, but they will be easily killed by the enemy, they will naturally be frightened.
Under such circumstances, the brave as the Cossack cavalry would collapse involuntarily.
The Cossack cavalry, which suffered heavy casualties, began to rout.
They turned their horses around and fled in a daze.
Tanks and armored vehicles of the 4th Panzer Division of the Germanic Army pursued frantically behind them.
Tank guns and machine guns fired constantly, killing countless Cossack cavalrymen.
“Your Excellency, Commander, the 4th Panzer Division has encountered the Cossack cavalry of the Russians, has defeated them, and is continuing its pursuit and expanding its results.” Major General Max Hoffman reports.
“Very well, the 39th Infantry Division, the 49th Infantry Division, the 59th Infantry Division, followed the Panzer Division to launch an attack, compressing the space for the Russians from the front. The 69th Infantry Division, the 79th Infantry Division, the 89th Infantry Division and the 99th Infantry Division advanced from both flanks towards the Russian Army. This time, we want to wipe out the entire Russian 2nd Army here! General Hindenburg gave the order.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” Major General Max Hoffman replied.
The main force of the 9th Panzer Division of the Germanic Empire Army launched a fierce attack on the 2nd Army of the Russian Army.
A large number of Germanic soldiers, supported by their own strong firepower, attacked the hastily constructed positions of the Russian Army.
In the sky, fighters and bombers of the Germanic Air Force provided them with air support. The positions of the Russian Army were constantly strafed by fighter jets and bombed by bombers, and heavy losses were inflicted. The morale of the troops was also fatally damaged.
The artillery in the rear also opened fire fiercely. The cannons, as if the shells did not cost money at all, smashed into the positions of the Tsarist Army, further causing greater losses to the Tsarist Army.
Coupled with the onslaught of the armored units of the Germanic Empire Army, it was easy to break through the Tsarist Army’s defenses.
This made it impossible for the Russian Army to resist the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.
Their defensive line was easily breached. A large number of soldiers of the Russian Army suffered heavy casualties.
Under such circumstances, many soldiers of the Russian Army raised their hands and surrendered to the Germanic Army.
They no longer had the courage to fight any longer, and in order to save their lives, there was only one way to surrender.
“Your Excellency, Commander, the Germanic offensive was too fierce. They were also supported by planes from the sky and a terrifying steel chariot, and our troops simply could not stop them. Our defense line is like paper paste, and it will be broken at the first poke. We can’t stop them anymore! Major General Martos had a look of panic on his face.
“Damn! How can this be? General Samsonov scolded.
Until now he did not seem to believe that his troops would be the main target of the Germanic Army. And it will be defeated so easily.
You know, his army is a full 250,000 people!
The 9th Army of the Germanic Empire army was only in its early 200,000s when it was full.
With the division of many troops to resist the 1st Army of the Russian Army, it was also able to have the strength to completely annihilate them.
You can imagine how powerful the Germanic Army was. How big is the gap between them.
For the first time, General Samsonov felt that this time the Tsarist Empire chose to go to war against the Germanic Empire, which was probably not a good idea!
“Your Excellency, Commander, we cannot stop the Germans, so retreat!” Retreat from the Vistula River. It was guarded by only a small number of Germanic cavalry. They had only a few thousand cavalry, it was impossible to blockade the entire Vistula River, and we still had a chance to escape! Maj. Gen. Marthos advised.
“The bridges of the Vistula River and the pontoon bridges we built have been destroyed by the Germans, and we lack ships, how much can we withdraw if we retreat?” General Samsonov was reluctant.
“Your Excellency, Commander, I can’t care less about that much, how much can I escape?” If we don’t flee, I’m afraid we’ll be annihilated by the Germans! Major General Marthos urged.
General Samsonov hesitated slightly, but decided to flee.
Even if you can’t withdraw all your troops, as long as you can escape, that’s the best outcome.
He did not want to fall into Germanic hands.
Subsequently, the Russian army began to retreat to the Vistula River, trying to cross the river to escape.
However, because both bridges and pontoons were destroyed, they were only able to cross the river with a limited number of boats.
In the process, they were hit by heavy artillery fire from the Germanic Army and bombarded by the Air Force.
As a result, many soldiers of the Russian Army were killed in the process of crossing the river.
There were also many soldiers of the Russian Army, seeing that the Germanic Army had been pressed up from all sides, simply jumped into the Vistula River and tried to swim over.
It’s still the end of summer, and the river isn’t cold. In addition, the Vistula River is not a wide river, and people with better water properties have no problem swimming over it.
But the biggest problem is that the planes in the sky and the shells that keep falling will not let them swim so easily.
Many Russian soldiers were shot with aircraft machine guns in the sky or killed by shells.
In addition, the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Germanic Empire Army also succeeded in intercepting many Russian soldiers on the other side of the Vistula River.
Even General Samsonov, commander of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, chose to kill himself by shooting himself before being captured by the Germanic cavalry.
General Martos, on the other hand, was lucky to escape.
On the banks of the Vistula River, a large number of Russian troops were driven here.
The Germanic Army attacked them with tanks and armored vehicles, as well as artillery.
A large number of soldiers are killed every moment.
Just two days later, the Russian soldiers lost their fighting spirit.
In order to survive, they surrendered to the Germanic Army.
The Germanic Imperial Army’s 9th Army won the battle and completely annihilated the 2nd Army of the Russian Army. The number of captured Russian soldiers alone exceeded 180,000. Far fewer are actually killed. In addition, a very small number of Tsarist Soldiers fled.
