"General, the Germans are too powerful in firepower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info They have too many machine guns and small-caliber rapid-fire guns. Our cavalry simply could not get close to their lines, let alone break through them. The commander of a Cossack cavalry division reported to Admiral Samsonov with a grim face. Seeing his troops being slaughtered by the Germans with powerful firepower like this, his heart felt as if it was dripping blood.

Admiral Samsonov's face was dead, and the whole person seemed to have been pulled out of his bones, and he suddenly lost his spirit.

The other Russian generals are like this. The rear road was cut off by the Germans, and there were powerful German troops attacking in front. This time, I'm afraid they won't be able to fly even if they have wings.

"General, the Germans are too strong, and it is simply impossible to defeat them. Let's break out of the breakout. In this case, there may be a glimmer of life. Some generals suggested.

Indeed, the Germans clearly wanted to encircle and annihilate them all, and if they continued to stay together, none of them could escape. On the contrary, it is scattered to break through, and those who can escape are counted as one. In this case, the chances of survival will be greater.

Admiral Samsonov was not a fool, he knew that the generals meant nothing more than to let the large forces attract the attention of the Germans, and then they took the opportunity to break through with small elite troops. In this case, there is undoubtedly a great possibility of escaping. As long as you can escape, even if you lose all the troops, you will not hesitate. Anyway, Russia lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of population. When the troops are gone, it is enough to recruit those peasants into the army.

Of course, for Admiral Samsonov, if he were to exchange the lives of the remaining 100,000 Russian soldiers for his own chance to live, he would not hesitate to agree. He was a noble army general, how could he be compared to those lowly serfs?

"Okay, let's do what everyone wants. General Gilinsky there, I'll explain. Good luck to all and may God bless us! Hello in Warsaw, everyone. "said Admiral Samsonov.

"May God bless us!" These Russian generals prayed to God with great devotion. It seems that only God can save them now.

Immediately after the decision, Admiral Samsonov gave the order to break out of the encirclement in all parts. The commanders of the various infantry and cavalry divisions led the troops to break through in all directions. Of course, this is nothing more than an illusion. In fact, those generals are all very shrewd, and if they can get to this point, their ability to save their lives will naturally not be much worse. After the large force attracted the attention of the Germans, they immediately broke through with the leadership of the elite units of their henchmen. Except for a very small number of generals who failed to break through and were captured by the Germans, the rest successfully escaped.

It's just that these Russian generals who escaped from the encirclement have even lost all their troops, and naturally there is not much threat to the German army. Even Qin Tian didn't care at all about these Russian generals who escaped.

In Qin Tian's opinion, the usefulness of these guys was not even as great as that of ordinary Russian soldiers. Those ordinary Russian soldiers, strong and strong. After being captured, it can also be used as a coolie. If Germany won the war, it would gain a large part of the existing Russian territory. In this territory, the infrastructure construction is terrible. If large-scale construction is to be carried out, it will definitely require a lot of investment. And these prisoners of war will be an excellent labor force. With them, there is no doubt that a lot of money can be saved.

The current Qin Tian is known as the most successful businessman in the world. Therefore, even when he is fighting, he needs to consider these aspects.

After Admiral Samsonov gave the order to break out, it became more difficult for the German 8th Army to encircle and annihilate the Russian 2nd Army. Their forces are so small that the encirclement is too thin and full of loopholes, which can easily be seized by the Russians.

After learning that the Russian army began to disperse and break through, Lieutenant General François, who commanded the battle, immediately ordered all units to block the Russian army as much as possible and strive to annihilate more Russian troops.

And capturing the Russian army is naturally more trouble-free than killing those Russian troops. After all, the current Russian army has completely lost the courage to fight. With their weak will to fight, the probability of surrendering to the Germans is undoubtedly very high.

Therefore, once the German army blocked the Russian army, they all tried to surrender the Russian army as much as possible. In this way, it is more time-saving and labor-saving.

"Surrender! Shoot or kill! ”

Tanks rushed up and blocked the way for the Russian army to break through. Even though, there are only a few of these tanks. Far less than the thousands of Russian troops who were preparing to break through.

But the Russian army has long been frightened. In particular, the German tanks were praised by the Russian army as the devil's weapon.

When they saw these tanks appear, the Russian soldiers immediately raised their hands and surrendered to the Germans.

A few tanks, easily captured thousands of Russian troops. In the eyes of later generations, this is simply unrealistic. However, when the tank first appeared on the battlefield, it was really possible to achieve such an effect.

After the surrender of these Russian troops, the tank immediately called the infantry to come up and contain the prisoners.

Half an hour later, a company of infantry came up and took over the guards of the captives. And the tanks continued to move forward, trying to capture more Russian troops.

Such a situation can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. The blocked Russian troops, in order to survive, raised their hands to the Germans and surrendered. Although, when fighting, these Russian soldiers were very brave and fearless of death. However, once they lose the will to fight, they are docile like sheep. A company or even a platoon of Russian troops can take care of thousands of Russian prisoners of war.

The battle lasted until the sun went down, and the German 8th Army won a resounding victory at the Battle of Tennanberg. Ten infantry divisions and six cavalry divisions of the 2nd Army of the Russian army were almost completely wiped out. Although, because the German 8th Army Corps was too small, there were big loopholes in the encirclement, which allowed many Russian troops to escape. However, all the Russian troops added up to only one or two hundred thousand people. And almost all of them are defeated generals who have lost the courage to fight, so there is nothing to worry about at all.

The Russian army, annihilated and captured by the German 8th Army, exceeded 150,000 people. Among them, more than 100,000 prisoners of war alone. In addition, there are quite a few Russian troops who have been lost on the battlefield.
