Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

The units of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army were not ready, and the attack of the 9th Army of the German Imperial Army had already begun.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The 144 150mm heavy howitzers of the 9th Heavy Artillery Brigade were firing fiercely, and one shell after another was smashing into the Russian army. In a hurry, the Russian army did not even have time to build a defensive line.

The artillery regiments of the remaining 7 infantry divisions, which belonged to artillery batteries of the regiment, were also firing fiercely.

168 150-mm heavy howitzers, 336 105-mm light howitzers, 126 75-mm field guns, also began shelling.

For a time, 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, scurrying like headless flies.

“Order our artillery to fight back immediately! Suppressed the artillery fire of the Germans. Otherwise, we’re dead! General Samsonov ordered.

The 9th Army of the Germanic Imperial Army used only seven or eight hundred guns in total.

In contrast, the 2nd Army of the Tsarist Army had a greater number of artillery. It’s just that in terms of artillery caliber and power, it cannot be compared with the artillery of the Germanic Imperial Army.

The artillerymen of the Russian Army, braving the shelling of the Germanic Imperial Army, began to build artillery positions. Many artillery pieces were destroyed before they could be deployed.

The losses of the Russian army are growing.

At this time, a group of small black dots appeared in the sky.

This is the arrival of fighters from the German Imperial Air Force.

The 72 F12 fighters of the two fighter groups, covering the H12 bombers of the two groups, flew over the battlefield and bombed the artillery of the Russian army.

“Phew! Shout! Shout! ”

One aerial bomb after another fell from the sky and smashed on the artillery positions of the Tsarist Army.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A violent explosion sounded, and the cannons were blown up into scrap iron, and even the barrels were curled up. The air wave generated after the bomb explosion made the artillerymen of the Russian army like fallen leaves swept up by the autumn wind.

In the face of the bombing of the German Imperial Air Force, the artillery of the Russian army suffered heavy losses.

Many artillerymen of the Russian army were frightened, even ignored the artillery and fled in all directions.

When General Samsonov saw this, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The entire 2nd Army was under the powerful fire of the German Imperial Army and Air Force, and losses began to soar.

Moreover, this state of having no ability to fight back at all, and can only be passively beaten, has caused a fatal blow to the morale of the troops.

If this continues, I am afraid that the entire 2nd Army will soon collapse.

“No, it can’t go on like this. The 1st and 2nd armies were ordered to hold both flanks, and must not allow the Germans to break through. All the Cossack cavalry divisions, attacking from the front, broke through the Germanic lines. The 6th, 13th, 15th and 23rd Infantry Corps, followed by them. We have to break through the Germanic blockade. Otherwise, we will be dead! As long as we successfully break through and converge with 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 wiped out this time.

“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” The commanders of the army and division answered one after another.

After receiving the order to attack, the Russian army immediately took action.

Especially the brave Cossack cavalrymen turned on their horses and began to charge.

Three Cossack cavalry divisions, full of more than 15,000 people.

So many cavalry gathered together, as if forming a black torrent, rushing towards the defense line of the German Imperial Army in the distance.

The Cossack cavalry was the most elite unit of the Russian Empire. When a war starts, he is even more fearless of death.

These Cossack cavalry did not need a salary, and receiving trophies on the battlefield was their entire source of income. Therefore, these Cossack cavalry were very brave in battle. Only in this way will they be able to reap greater gains.

For decades, even centuries, the Cossack cavalry was the sharpest knife in the hands of the tsar. Where the blade points, it is invincible.

All of Europe shivered under the iron hooves of the Cossack cavalry.

But this time it was different, and the Cossack cavalry across the continent met opponents.

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 armoured regiments detoured from the flanks, although each regiment had only 60 tanks and 120 armored vehicles.

But in this era, it is already a very powerful assault force.

The 4th Panzer Division of the Germanic Imperial Army also did not expect that they would collide head-on with the Cossack cavalry.

But even if it happens, what can it do?

The time of cavalry has passed, and how can tanks and armored vehicles be afraid of them?

In the face of the sudden appearance of dark steel monsters, the Cossack cavalry also looked at each other. Many people were even frightened.

However, more brave Cossack cavalry raised their spears and sabers and bravely charged.

“Ula! Ulla! ”

The Cossack cavalry roared, and morale boiled to its peak.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

“Tap-da-da!”

Tank guns and machine guns of the tank opened fire.

The shells fell into the ranks of the Cossack cavalry, and many of the bombed Cossack cavalry fell off their horses and were trampled into meat sauce by the galloping war horses at high speed.

The dense stream of machine-gun bullets easily killed the Cossack cavalry and their war horses.

These Cossack cavalry were like hitting an invisible wall, and the heads they hit on it broke the blood.

But even so, the bravery of these Cossack cavalry was vividly displayed.

The death of their companions did not seem to frighten them, but further inspired their courage.

More Cossack cavalry bravely charged.

Many Cossack cavalry even rushed to the close front of the tank.

“Dang!”

The spear in the hands of the Cossack cavalry stabbed fiercely on the armor of the tank, and Mars splashed all over and made a crisp sound.

“Dang!”

There were also Cossack cavalry sabers that looked at the armor of the tanks, and the huge force made the blades of the sabers rolled. However, it did not cause any damage to the tank, just some paint removed.
