Chapter 290: Failed Sneak Attack (2000 votes plus update)

On the night of September 16, the clouds were so thick that the moon was completely obscured by them, making the night very dark, and although it was not yet to the point where you could not see your fingers, it was impossible to see a little farther away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Damn, tonight, it's perfect for a night attack!" Major General Besson grunted.

"Yes, General. So, we have to be more cautious tonight. I can assure you that the Russians will launch a sneak attack tonight. Guderian said.

"Order the troops on the front line to be vigilant tonight. As long as it gets past tonight, the Russians will not be able to fly. Major General Bessen ordered. Tonight was undoubtedly the most dangerous night for them. Tomorrow afternoon, the main forces will be able to arrive one after another. When the time comes, the remnants of the 9th Army of the Russian army will be completely surrounded by them. It can be said that as long as they hold on tonight, the Germans will be able to achieve the final victory.

Colonel Guderian nodded: "General, tonight, I will also make the 8th Panzer Division ready for battle." If the Russians really dare to attack, we will directly send tanks to crush them. ”

"Well, in that case, it's the best." Major General Beson said with great satisfaction. With the full support of the 8th Armored Division, it is undoubtedly more certain to resist the attack of the Russian army tonight.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Russian army was ready for battle. Admiral Letzsky looked up at the clouds in the sky and nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, it was undoubtedly that even God was on their side, which made him more confident in tonight's attack.

"Guys, are you ready? Half an hour later, attack! This time, we have to win in one fell swoop! Admiral Letzsky ordered.

"Yes, General." Everyone replied.

Half an hour later, the Russian offensive began. Without any fire preparations, three Russian infantry divisions, with a total of more than 30,000 troops, launched an attack. In order to avoid being discovered by the Germans as much as possible, these more than 30,000 Russian soldiers, with their heads bowed and their waists bent, advanced without saying a word. Although their speed is very slow, every Russian soldier tries not to make extra noise.

During the day, the strong firepower of the German army gave them a great shock. These Russian soldiers were also worried that once they were discovered by the Germans, they would incur a powerful German firepower. Even if they could safely get close to a distance of one or two hundred meters from the German lines, the possibility of them breaking through the German lines would greatly increase.

It's just that tens of thousands of people act together, and it is impossible to make no noise at all. Especially when the Germans had already increased their vigilance, it was even more unlikely.

After the German front-line troops received the order to strengthen the vigilance, all the soldiers, holding their guns, leaned against the trenches and closed their eyes to recuperate. Snipers in each squad, specifically on guard. As soon as you notice something, you can immediately shoot and warn.

Mortars of each platoon, too, were called upon to be on alert, and flares were always on stand. As soon as the sniper fires, they fire flares so that they can spot the enemy in the first place.

The sniper's eyes are already very demanding. Even in the dark of night, they are able to see farther than the average person.

When the Russian army slowly touched less than 300 meters from the German defense, a sniper noticed that something was wrong.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a Russian soldier suddenly fell to the ground screaming.

In the silence of the night, the sound can always be heard far away. The crisp sound of gunfire and the screams of Russian soldiers immediately spread far away.

Suddenly, on the German position, there was a loud sound of gunfire.

"Whew! Shout! Flares shot into the air one after another, and the dazzling white light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surroundings as if it were day. The dense figure of the Russian army was also fully revealed.

"Da Da Da!" The machine gunners, who had long since rolled over, began to shoot. A stiff general-purpose machine gun and squad machine gun began to pour fire on the Russian soldiers.

The dense rain of bullets shrouded the Russian army like a pouring rain, and immediately made the attacking Russian soldiers pay heavy losses, and rows of Russian soldiers fell to the ground, like cut wheat.

The Russian soldiers were all blinded. They were ordered to launch a sneak attack on the German positions. Under the cover of night, they all thought that this sneak attack was very likely to succeed. But it did not occur that the Germans were clearly prepared. They were greeted by the powerful firepower of the German army. This immediately made the Russian soldiers who sneaked up pay an extremely heavy price.

"Damn, the Germans were prepared!" The Russian generals who saw this scene couldn't help but feel terrified.

"Order the troops, go on the offensive. At all costs, tear open the lines of defense of the Germans. This is our only chance! Admiral Letzsky ordered with red eyes. Now he is no different from a gambler who has lost a red eye. You know, in order to avoid the attack of the German planes, he put all his hopes on tonight's attack. If tonight's breakout doesn't succeed, then they're dead.

Admiral Letzsky is definitely not a soft-hearted man, nor is he a man who cherishes the lives of his soldiers. In order to win, he can kill all the Russian soldiers. Now, the time has come.

"Yes, General."

"Attack, keep attacking!"

"We are not far from the German line. Only by rushing forward, the powerful firepower of the Germans was useless. When the time comes, victory will definitely be ours. ”

The Russian officers on the front line are also constantly urging those Russian soldiers to attack. None of them wanted to pass up their chances tonight. Because, for them, this is already the last chance.

"Ulla! Ulla! ”

The soldiers of the Russian army, urged by the officers, and even under the threat of punches and kicks, were driven like cattle to the positions of the Russian army. Their life and death, no one cares at all. In other words, in the eyes of those Russian officers and generals, these Russian soldiers are nothing more than cannon fodder used to consume the ammunition of the German army and achieve their strategic goals. Other than that, there is no other use. The lives of the soldiers of the Russian army are simply worthless.
