Iron Germany

"Go to hell, damn Russian!" A heavy machine gun from the Austrian army was firing wildly.

The industrial strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very good, and their military products also have excellent performance. Although the heavy machine guns equipped by the Austrian army cannot be compared with the general-purpose machine guns equipped by the German army, they are at least at the leading level in the world.

Dense bullets enveloped the Russian army like a torrential rain. The Russian army, which maintained a dense formation to attack, became the best target for heavy machine guns. Pieces of Russian troops were shot and fell to the ground, as if they were cutting wheat.

"Ulla! Ulla!"

Ula of the Russian army charged like a rainbow. Although, they are poorly equipped. However, when they attacked, they were not afraid of death. Such tactics enable them to intimidate their opponents and defeat them in battle.

It's just that this time, the Ula charge of the Russian army doesn't seem to be very effective. The Austrian soldiers on the opposite side didn't seem to be intimidated by them, and they were still fighting back with powerful firepower.

Under such circumstances, the losses of the Russian army began to soar.

"boom!"

There was a clear gunshot, and a Russian soldier was shot in the chest, and his charging body fell to the ground.

In the trenches of the Austrian army, young Austrian soldiers are pulling the bolt and loading the next bullet. At first, his face was full of fear. However, gradually, he has slowly overcome the fear in his heart, and began to fight calmly.

Many Austrian soldiers, almost all of whom were in battle, slowly changed. Ula's charge from the Russian army scared them enough that many of them almost ran away. However, under the strong deterrence of their own military police, they did not dare to escape, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to fight. But soon, they discovered that the Russian army's attack had nothing special about it other than its astonishing momentum. They were human beings, and they would be killed if they were hit by bullets. As long as you can overcome the fear in your heart, you can defeat them.

In this way, the morale of the Austrian army began to gradually recover.

The frontline commanders of the Austrian Army finally breathed a sigh of relief after discovering this change. No one wants to be defeated. When they were defeated by the Russians before, they were also very aggrieved. It's not that their soldiers are inferior to the Russians, or that their weapons and equipment are inferior to the Russians. The main reason is that everyone is frightened by the Russians. After overcoming the fear, the Austrian army finally began to display its due combat effectiveness.

The morale of the Austrian army gradually recovered, and the defense line began to stabilize. This is not a good thing for the Russians on the offensive side.

"Damn it, how could their firepower be so powerful?" Admiral Ruski was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. You know, in the previous battles, the Austrian army has always been vulnerable. But now, they seem to have changed their army! Such a change really made him a little unbelievable.

"General, is it not the Austro-Hungarian Army that is fighting us, but the Germans? Otherwise, how could the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army have improved so much?" said a lieutenant general.

"Germans? How is this possible? Let's not say that the Germans are attacking the 4th Army. Even if they were really Germans, they would have stopped blindly defending and launched an attack. If the Germans launched If we attack, can we withstand their attack?" Admiral Rusky shook his head.

All the generals of the Russian army also looked deeply convinced. Indeed, the German army was much stronger than the Austrian army. If they were facing the German army, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive momentum would have been reversed long ago.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Shells continued to explode in the ranks of the Russian army, and Russian soldiers were constantly torn to pieces.

"Da da da!"

The dense firepower network composed of light and heavy machine guns of the Austrian army recklessly harvested the lives of these Russian soldiers.

Under the powerful firepower of the Austrian army, the Russian army suffered extremely heavy losses. Even if the Russian soldiers are not afraid of death when fighting, their courage will disappear when the comrades around them fall one after another.

Under the huge loss, the Russian army had to retreat in the first round of attack. Countless Russian soldiers turned and fled. The speed of their escape was actually much faster than their attack speed.

"Long live! Long live! We have defeated the Russians."

Seeing the Russian soldiers fleeing, cheers from the soldiers resounded from the Austrian defense line. Countless Austrian soldiers cheered loudly. They haven't had a victory like this in a long time.

"It seems that the Russians are not invincible. Before, we were just intimidated by them. Now, we have understood that the Russians are just paper tigers, and there is nothing to fear at all." said a young Austrian soldier.

"Haha, the Russians are so vulnerable. From now on, we don't have to be afraid of them at all." Such words are everywhere.

Through this battle, the low morale of the Austrian soldiers was quickly revived.

"Bastard! After half an hour, continue to attack. Even if the cowards of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have become different, we can still defeat them!" Admiral Ruski ordered through gritted teeth.

Although, he knew that this battle might not go as smoothly as they expected. But now they have no way out. This battle still had to be fought like this.

"Yes, General!"

Not only was the attack of the Russian 3rd Army frustrated, but the attacks of the Russian 8th Army and the 11th Army also encountered a strong counterattack from the Russian Army. The Austrian defense line seemed to have become impregnable overnight. The Austrian army, whose morale was low and could be defeated by a single charge of the Russian army, seemed to have reborn, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly improved.

This made the Russian army face the Austrian defense line, and it was inevitable that they would be bloodied and suffered heavy losses.

Although, the Russian army launched multiple rounds of attacks in the ensuing battle. However, it still failed to break through the Austrian defense line. Although, their offensive also cost the Austrian army some price. But overall, the Russian army suffered even greater losses. More importantly, after this fierce battle, the morale of the Austrian soldiers was revived. When the weapons are not as good as the Austrian army and there is no advantage in military strength, it is conceivable that the Russian army wants to break through the Austrian army's defense line.
