The units of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army were not ready, and the attack of the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire Army had already begun.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The 144 150 mm heavy howitzers of the 9th Heavy Artillery Brigade were firing fiercely, and one shell after another was slamming into the Russian Army. In a hurry, the Russian Army had not even had time to build a defensive line.
The remaining 7 infantry divisions, which belong to artillery regiments and regimental artillery companies, are also firing fiercely.
Shelling also began with 168 150 mm heavy howitzers, 336 105 mm light howitzers, and 126 75 mm field guns.
For a moment, the shells rained down on the Russian Army, and countless soldiers of the Russian Army were blown to pieces.
Everywhere panicked soldiers of the Russian Army scurried like headless flies.
“Order our artillery to fight back at once!” Suppress the Germanic artillery fire. Otherwise, we’re dead! General Samsonov ordered.
The 9th Army of the Germanic Empire used only seven or eight hundred artillery pieces in total.
In contrast, the 2nd Army of the Russian Army possessed more artillery. However, in terms of caliber and power of the artillery, it cannot be compared with the artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army.
The artillery of the Russian Army, braving the shelling of the Germanic Army, began to build artillery positions. Many of the artillery pieces were destroyed before they could be deployed.
The losses of the Russian Army were increasing.
At this moment, a group of small black dots appeared in the sky.
It was the fighters of the Germanic Air Force who arrived.
Two groups of 72 F12 fighters, covering the H12 bombers of the two brigades, flew over the battlefield and bombed the artillery of the Russian Army.
“Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
One aerial bomb after another fell from the sky and landed on the artillery positions of the Russian Army.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
A violent explosion sounded, and the cannons were blown into scrap iron, and even the barrels were blown up. The air waves generated after the bomb explosion made the artillery of the Russian Army look like fallen leaves rolled up by the autumn wind.
Faced with the bombardment of the Germanic Imperial Air Force, the artillery of the Russian Army suffered heavy losses.
Many of the artillerymen of the Russian Army were so frightened that they ignored the artillery and fled in all directions.
When General Samsonov saw this, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
The entire 2nd Army, under the heavy fire of the Germanic Army and Air Force, began to soar in losses.
Moreover, this state of not having the strength to fight back at all, and only being able to be passively beaten, has caused the morale of the troops to be fatally damaged.
If this continues, the entire 2nd Army will soon collapse.
“No, we can’t go on like this anymore. Ordering the 1st and 2nd Armies to hold the two flanks must not allow the Germans to break through. All the Cossack cavalry divisions attacked from the front and broke through the Germanic lines. The 6th, 13th, 15th and 23rd Infantry Corps followed. We must break through the Germanic blockade. Otherwise, we’re dead! As long as we successfully break through and join the 1st Army, we will win this battle! General Samsonov gave the order.
They can’t be beaten like this anymore. Otherwise, they will be completely annihilated this time.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” The commanders of the first army and divisions answered one after another.
After receiving the order to attack, the Russian Army immediately moved.
In particular, the brave Cossack cavalry turned on their horses and began to charge.
Three Cossack cavalry divisions, totaling more than fifteen thousand men.
So many cavalry gathered together, as if forming a black torrent, and rushed toward the defenses of the Germanic Empire Army in the distance.
The Cossack cavalry was arguably the most elite force of the Tsarist Empire. When the war starts, it is even more fierce and not afraid of death.
These Cossack cavalry did not need to be paid, and obtaining loot on the battlefield was their entire source of income. Therefore, these Cossack cavalry were very brave in battle. Only then will they be able to reap even greater rewards.
For decades and even centuries, cossack cavalry has been the sharpest knife in the hands of the Tsar. The blade is invincible.
All of Europe trembled under the iron hooves of the Cossack cavalry.
But this time it was different, and the Cossack cavalry across the European continent met an opponent.
When the Cossack cavalry of the Russian Army began to attack, General Hindenburg also gave the order to attack.
The 4th Panzer Division, as the main force of the attack, took the lead in launching the attack.
One hundred and eighty ‘Wolf’ light tanks of the 4th Tank Regiment, attacking head-on. The other two armored regiments detoured from the flanks, although each had only 60 tanks and 120 armored vehicles.
But in this era, it is already a very strong assault force.
Nor did the 4th Panzer Division of the Germanic Imperial Army expect that they would collide head-on with the Cossack cavalry.
But even if it happens, what can it do?
The era of cavalry has passed, so how can tanks and armored vehicles be afraid of them?
In the face of the sudden appearance of the black steel monster, the Cossack cavalry also looked at each other. A lot of people are even frightened.
However, more brave Cossack cavalry raised their spears and knives and bravely launched a charge.
“Ulla! Ulla! ”
The Cossack cavalry roared, and morale boiled to its peak.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
“Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The tank guns and machine guns of the tanks opened fire.
The shells fell into the ranks of the Cossack cavalry, and many of the Cossack cavalry fell off their horses and were trampled into meat sauce by the high-speed galloping horses.
Dense machine gun bullets easily killed the Cossack cavalry and their horses.
These Cossack cavalrymen were like hitting an invisible wall, and the heads hit by them were bleeding.
But even so, the bravery of these Cossack cavalry was vividly expressed.
The death of their companions did not seem to frighten them, but on the contrary, they further stimulated their courage.
More Cossack cavalry charged bravely.
Many Cossack cavalry even rushed to the front of the tanks.
“Dang!”
The spear in the hands of the Cossack cavalry stabbed fiercely at the armor of the tank, and Mars splashed around, making a crisp sound.
“Dang!”
Other Cossack cavalrymen’s sabers were on the armor of the tanks, and the force made the sabers curl up. However, it did not cause any damage to the tank, only knocked out some paint.
