Chapter 325: Crushing

"Oh God! Those damned Germans rushed through our anti-tank trenches. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Fire and stop them! "The commanders of the Russian army, one by one, their faces changed drastically. Before the battle began, they were confident in their anti-tank trenches, believing that they would be able to stop the advance of the German armored forces.

But unexpectedly, the Germans easily cracked their tactics. Those blackened tanks, heading towards their lines, were about to attack.

In the absence of anti-tank weapons, it was almost impossible to resist the attack of the German armored forces with anti-tank trenches alone, and at most it would cause some trouble for the Germans.

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

After the outbreak of the war, the 8th Panzer Division did not know how many Russian defenses it had crushed. This time, too. The weak defense line of the Russians was simply impossible to stop the tanks of the 8th Panzer Division. The tracks of the tank, which will crush everything to pieces.

"Da Da Da!" On the positions of the Russian troops, machine guns fired wildly. A dense barrage of bullets was fired at the German tanks, but they could not penetrate the thick armor of the tanks except to knock off the tank's paint.

"Boom!" The tanks returned fire. A tank gun shell accurately hit the Russian machine-gun fire point, blowing it into a pile of scrap metal.

"Da Da Da!" The course machine gun and coaxial machine gun at the front of the tank began to strafe. Dense firepower, those Russian troops on the suppressed positions, can't even lift 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 breached.

The infantry, which had been following behind the German armored units, also broke through to a very close distance from the Russian line under the cover of these tanks. Next, under the cover of tanks, they will break through the Russian defense line and provide protection for the tanks. After all, once your tanks enter the positions of the Russian army, it is very likely to be attacked by the Russian army suicidally. It was also the only way to attack the German tanks at the moment.

In the city of Cheum, the command of the Russian army, the atmosphere has become a little solemn. This was the first day of the battle, but it was extremely unfavorable for the Russian army. This also made the generals of the 4th Army of the Russian Army worried.

"General, the situation is now very unfavorable for us, the Germans are attacking very quickly. Their tanks, having broken through our anti-tank trenches, are about to launch an attack on our forward positions. A lieutenant general officer reported.

"How can it be so fast? Our anti-tank trenches, did not work at all? Such a result obviously made Admiral Dimitriev a little unbelievable. Because, he knew, if he couldn't stop the German tanks, their defense line would be like papier-mâché.

"General, the Germans filled two passages in our anti-tank trenches directly with a dozen trucks loaded with earth and stones. And there is nothing we can do to stop this. The lieutenant general said with a bitter face.

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

"General, I'm afraid our outer line of defense won't be able to withstand the Germans for long, and they will soon attack the city of Cheum. It's no longer safe here, so please evacuate the place before the Germans invade Cheum. Another lieutenant general said.

Once the Germans break into the city of Cheum, engage in street fighting with the Russians. As for whether they can win in the street fighting, the generals of the Russian army have no confidence at all. So, they hope that Admiral Dimitriev will be able to evacuate here and retreat to a safe place.

Admiral Dimitriev wanted to object, but the thought that his own safety would be threatened if Kaim got bogged down in street fighting, swallowed it back.

"Well, General Fyodor, General Golovin, the battle here will be left to you. Although the Germans' tank units were very combat-ready, they were bound to be hampered once they entered street fighting. Narrow streets will restrict the performance of their weapons. So, although the current situation is not in our favor, we will certainly be able to withstand the attack of the Germans, drag them here, and buy enough time for the victory of General Ivanov. Admiral Dimitriev admonished.

Although, as soon as the battle began, he, the commander of the army group, fled, which would definitely have a certain impact on the morale of the troops. But for the sake of his own life, he can't care so much.

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin nodded their heads repeatedly.

"22nd Army, over there, I'll let them speed up, at most the day after tomorrow, they will reach Cheum. Three armies, 150,000 men, could not resist the German attack. Colonel-General Dimitriev continued.

Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin also think so. The Germans were very attack-powered, but if street fighting began, the Germans would no longer have such a big advantage. They don't talk about defeating the German army, and holding out for half a month should always be without much problem. Perhaps, they will be able to defeat the Germans with their superiority in strength in street fighting. In that case, they have done a great job.

After explaining this, Admiral Dimitriev quickly evacuated from Cheum and retreated to the safety of the rear.

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

"Crunch! Crunch! ”

The tracks of the tank, crushing the ground, broke through the line of defense of the Russian army.

"Run! The tanks of the Germans rushed up. "The Russian troops on the position have long been frightened. After discovering that the German tanks were running over, they even ran away.

"Da Da Da!"

The machine guns on the German tanks began to strafe, and rows of bullets were fired out, knocking all the Russian soldiers who tried to escape to the ground.

More and more tanks, breaking through the positions of the Russian army. The tracks of the tank, which were wantonly crushed on the positions of the Russian army. The Russian army's fortifications were directly crushed, and some Russian soldiers who did not have time to escape were even crushed into meat sauce.
