The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 737: Black Lightning One

The Munich reconnaissance airship, which was responsible for "live broadcasting" the battlefield, flew over the battlefield once again. When the ground raised a flare that heralded the beginning of the battle, the officers and soldiers of the Munich airship witnessed a scene they had never seen before.

In 4 breakthrough areas, nearly 1,200 artillery of various calibers were concentrated. Against the background of the rising sun, countless flares rose from the ground, and the artillery shells fell toward the Russian military positions like meteorites outside the sky, forming a continuous barrage. Like a meteorite rain, waves of flames and gunpowder smoke rose from the ground, and the roar of thousands of artillery sounded throughout the battlefield. The artillery positions in the distance are as spectacular as a volcanic eruption. Behind the artillery positions, transport ships transported tons of ammunition to the front line. Looking from the air, a torrent of steel supported the Bavarian Legion’s offensive like giant arteries.

  The fierce shelling lasted for a full hour, and the entire Russian position was almost overturned by shells. The original fertile ground was full of black marks left by the flames, like scars on the earth. After the suppression of the forward positions was completed, the firepower was ready to extend to the depths, and as the barrage moved forward, groups of armored units began hunting surrounded by a large number of infantry.

  Part of the independent armored battalion was dismantled into companies to provide cover and support for the infantry. One after another, the chariots were connected in a line and ran on the vast Bode plain, slowly wrapping around the Russian neck like a noose. Tanks, infantry, and artillery are organically integrated into one, like a giant steel beast rushing toward the opponent.

The whole line of advancement put tremendous pressure on the entire front of the Russians. At almost the same time, Nikolaev’s command received numerous distress telegrams. The staff hurriedly marked the situation map of both sides on the sand table, but it was very Soon, they found that there were too many troops on the other side, and more than two-thirds of the entire front line was attacked by the enemy, so that the arrows used to mark the opponent were not enough.

"The opponent must have a main attack direction. They don't have that many troops to attack. On the southern front, the Bavarians have at least half of their troops to deal with the Fifth Army. They are bluffing." Nikolaev tried to convince himself , Refused to admit this reality, but soon, the German's successful two-way breakthrough broke his illusion again.

Under the guidance of the formed armored battalion, Schmidt’s troops once again took the lead and successfully broke through the position in front of them. However, unlike the past, after 10 kilometers deep into the opponent’s position, the armored troops made a circle and started to Outflanked both sides and successfully stabbed the Russian army in the back!

  Crawlers ran over the hurriedly constructed fortifications, crushing the machine guns and shooters in the fortifications into pieces together. A dozen tanks lined up into a wide front for one kilometer and swept the Russian rear positions. The rear supply points, headquarters, artillery positions, hospitals and other facilities were reduced to ashes in the stormy attack.

  The Russians would naturally not be willing to fail. After a day and a half of preparation, a mixed unit consisting of a complete cavalry division, two infantry regiments and several mobile artillery companies entered the battlefield, trying to close the gap in a certain direction.

A complete regiment unfolded from the front. Three battalions attacked from the center. On each side were 1,200 Cossack cavalry. The attacking Russian troops rushed towards the enemy like an eagle with open wings. This time Russia The man chose a good target. The opponent was a Bavarian infantry regiment and only strengthened an armored company.

   Fourteen cricket-style tanks roared and rushed out. They formed a not-so-wide steel anti-wave, and under the cover of machine guns and infantry, they abruptly blocked the crowds of Russians. The grenade fired by the long-range artillery exploded around the tank from time to time, and the splashed shrapnel and debris kept hitting the armor of the tank. The bullets and shells hit the armor plate and made clanging sounds, making the whole tank seem to be in the wind. Tuning fork is average.

  But even so, the armored force still plays the role of firefighting team and mobile bunker perfectly. The car’s heading machine gun, side-by-side machine gun, and 2-pounder gun were **** for the densely charged Russian soldiers. The crossfire net formed between the tanks cut the opponent’s defensive position as much as possible, and fragments of the Russian army were beaten. After being scattered, it was wiped out by the infantry rifles and submachine guns. The entire front line seemed to have become a flesh-and-blood grinding disc, constantly devouring the lives of both sides.

  The Cossack cavalry who rounded around on both sides took advantage of speed, which made the coefficient of artillery interception a luxury, and the artillery shells fell behind the charge cavalry. "Prepare for close combat!" When the Russian cavalry passed through the artillery interception area and rushed up with the huge damage from the machine gun, the Bavarian soldiers took up their rifles and submachine guns to prepare for a primitive and **** fight. And at this moment, the air force that arrived at the right time made the last glimmer of hope of the Russians vanished.

The J-5 Sparrowhawk is a kind of fighter ~www.NovelMTL.com~ But because of the larger load, it can also perform ground suppression tasks. A squadron of Sparrowhawks arrived urgently with 50 large-caliber machine guns and counters. The infantry grenade made the reunion of the Russian cavalry fall short. Like an eagle hunting rabbits, Richthofen started his first battle!

  The sparrow-eating eagle whizzed over from a place less than ten meters above the ground. At the lowest point, it could even be said to fly over the head of the Russian cavalry. With a gentle pull on the bomb handle, a series of 2KG anti-infantry bombs fell off the rack. The intensive explosion immediately exploded the attacking Russian cavalry unit into two parts, and the frightened horse lifted the rider off the back. Then he trampled the fallen rider into a pool of flesh in panic.

The soldiers behind were also hesitated by the sudden blow, and some even secretly turned their horses to prepare to evacuate. However, they could not run through the bullets. When Richthofen dived again, his plane flew from sideways. A team of Russian cavalry flew over, and the roaring machine guns shot two lines of fire on the ground. The closest approach was less than 200 meters. Richthofen could even clearly see the other's fearful expression, and then was caught Fired 12.7MM machine gun bullets and intercepted.

  The repeated dive attacks of just a dozen planes made the cavalry of the two cavalry regiments lose the courage to continue fighting. The plane hovering in the air like a **** of death was a sword of Damocles hanging high above the Russians. This kind of situation where the opponent can hit you but you can't hit the other party eventually broke the Russians.
