Iron Germany
Chapter 280 Desperate Situation
When the 9th Russian Army was blocked by the 20th German Army in Siedlce, the life of the 2nd Russian Guards Army was even more difficult. The main force of the German 8th Army, the 11th Corps, 17th Corps and 8th Panzer Division, launched an even more violent attack on them.
Relying on the powerful assault force of the 8th Armored Division, the Russian 2nd Guards Army could not organize a strong defense at all. They would often be torn apart by the 8th Armored Division as soon as they deployed a line of defense. The entire 2nd Guards Army was completely in chaos. The formation of various troops has also been disrupted.
"Colonel Guderian, His Majesty the Crown Prince asked the 8th Armored Division to continue to attack and divide the Russian army. The infantry will follow behind, and the Russian army will continue to divide and encircle and annihilate them." Lieutenant General Francois Said.
"Yes, General. However, our tanks are losing very quickly. If the current assault speed is maintained, there will not be a single tank that can be activated in at most three days." Colonel Guderian said with a bitter face.
Although, the reliability of the tanks they have installed now has been greatly improved compared to the original batch. However, in frequent battles, it is often damaged due to mechanical failure.
"His Royal Highness means that as long as there is still one tank that can be activated, the attack cannot be stopped. The tanks that will be replenished for you have already arrived at the border. If you lose a regiment, you can immediately receive another regiment." Francois said the lieutenant general.
"Yes, General." Guderian nodded. In this case, he will have no worries.
The 8th Armored Division of the German Army completely carried out Qin Tian's order. Their continuous assaults on the Russian army kept the 2nd Russian Guards Army under suppression, and their losses continued to rise.
"Da da da!"
A dozen tanks, covering an infantry battalion, attacked the position of an infantry division of the Russian army. This is not a full infantry division, but an infantry division that has been hit hard. Although, their strength is still several times that of the attacking German army. However, facing the German tanks, they still couldn't resist.
"God! The German tanks are coming, run away!"
A Russian soldier shouted loudly, trying to turn and flee. However, the bullet fired from the German tank hit his back and pierced his body.
The tracks of the tank pressed against the Russian army's position invisible, and the Russian soldiers scattered and fled amidst the screams. The German tanks followed behind them and fired with machine guns, and the Russian soldiers fell in pieces. The tracks of the tank ran over the corpses, grinding them to a pulp.
The German infantry followed the tank, protecting the rear of the tank, and at the same time wiped out the remnants of the enemy on the position.
In less than half an hour, the battle was over. This position was captured by the German army, and the Russian army stationed here was defeated again and suffered heavy losses. The Russian army captured by the German army alone exceeded 2,000 people, and at least thousands of people were killed.
"God! This battle is really too simple. We just need to follow the tanks and attack continuously. After breaking through the Russian positions, we are waiting to capture prisoners." A German captain said Smoke, a face of comfort.
"Yes! Under the wise leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our 8th Army has become the most powerful army in the Imperial Army. The Russians dare to attack us, they are looking for death." The face of a German soldier was full of The worship of Qin Tian.
Indeed, as the German army won one victory after another, Qin Tian's influence in the army was constantly increasing. Personality cults are often gradually formed in this way.
"Everyone, hurry up and take a rest. After half an hour, continue to attack!" A battalion commander of a major came over and said to them.
"Yes, sir." The two answered quickly.
"I really envy those who drive tanks. They only need to drive tanks and run rampant, but we have to run behind them. At that time, instead of being beaten to death by the Russians, we will be exhausted." The captain officer said.
"Yes! Those guys, hiding in the tank, don't have to worry about Russian bullets." The lieutenant officer also looked envious.
Indeed, armored soldiers have become the envy of all branches of the army. Not only because tanks are very powerful when attacking, but also because tank soldiers are safer than infantry.
The 8th Armored Division of the German Army has been dispersed into battalions and companies to assist the infantry in launching attacks. With their support, the German army was able to attack the strong Russian army with fewer troops and achieved one victory after another.
The 2nd Russian Guards Army was constantly weakened under the attack of this German tactic. Of course, for the German army, this is a process that is about to win. However, for the Russian 2nd Guards Army, it was a very painful process. The feeling of watching one's troops being weakened little by little, and dying little by little, is indeed very uncomfortable.
"Bastards! Damn the Germans, the entire battlefield has become a mess, how are they going to fight?" Admiral Krapovich now felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The Russian army lacked radio communication equipment, and when the entire battlefield became chaotic, the command became even more chaotic. General Krapovich's orders can only be issued to troops at the division level. As for the lower-level troops, they are completely out of command. Such a situation is definitely very unfavorable to the command of the troops.
However, Admiral Krapovich had no other choice. The entire 2nd Guards Army, under the impact of the German 8th Armored Division, has been completely confused. There are situations where generals can't find soldiers and soldiers can't find their superiors.
"General, the 18th Infantry Division of the Guards reported that, except for the division headquarters, all our subordinate troops have been eaten by the Germans." A staff officer reported.
"Damn it! Send a telegram to the subordinate infantry corps, asking them to gather their troops immediately, and the Germans cannot go on like this." Admiral Krapovich ordered.
"Yes, General."
However, it is easier said than done! In this extremely chaotic battlefield, it is almost impossible to gather troops. There are German tanks rampaging everywhere. It was under such circumstances that many Russian troops had to surrender to the Germans. The Russian Guards 2nd Army has long been in a desperate situation.
