Time passed little by little. Under the attack of German artillery and air force, the Russian defense line suffered heavy losses. The trenches were blown down, the firepower of the machine guns and the bunkers were destroyed, and the cannons on the artillery positions also suffered heavy losses.
Before the offensive of the German infantry began, the Russian army had already paid a huge loss. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before all the artillery of the Russian army will die.
The generals of the Russian army did not fail to see this. It's just that they have no choice. If the artillery is ordered to hide, the German army will gather all the artillery to bombard their positions again. Judging from the current situation, their defensive positions are no different from paper under the heavy shelling of the German army. If the German artillery is allowed to bombard it, it may not be long before their defensive positions will be destroyed. At that time, what will they use to resist the German attack?
Not only the Western Front of the Russian Army was heavily shelled by the Germans, but the Northwest Front in the north, the Southwest Front in northern Ukraine, and the Southern Front that had already entered Ukraine were all under heavy shelling by the Germans at this moment.
The German army, which had been silent for twenty years, let the whole world see when this world war just started. Their strength has not been weakened by the passage of time, but has become stronger.
"Order all the armies to prepare for the attack! Be sure to work hard and tear the Russian defense line!" Admiral Guderian ordered.
In this offensive plan, the German Army Group B is undoubtedly strong. There is not only one armored army, but also four infantry armies. In addition, the 1 million troops of the Kingdom of Poland and the 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Belarus have been mobilized and have already marched to the border, ready to join the battle at any time.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the armies of these protectorate countries may not be comparable to the elite army of Bu Russia. However, as long as the German army can annihilate the Russian army's elite troops in one fell swoop in this battle, these protectorate troops will also come in handy in the next battle. Equipped with German-style weapons and trained by German officers, the combat effectiveness of these protectorate troops is also not to be underestimated.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The adjutant immediately issued Admiral Guderian's order.
In the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff, the firepower preparation this time only takes two hours. If the defensive positions of the Russian army cannot be destroyed, the time for firepower preparation can be extended a little. However, the defensive position of the Russian army is obviously a tofu project, and two hours is completely enough, which makes General Guderian naturally not want to waste time.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the artillery fire of the German army began to extend to the deep positions of the Russian army. Those 75mm field guns stopped shelling because of the range. Only those heavy artillery with a range of more than 100 mm can use the range to attack the deep positions of the Russian army.
This change in the artillery of the German army also attracted the attention of the Russian army. They knew that the German attack was about to begin.
"Quick, get into position. The Germans are about to attack!"
In the bomb defense holes that were not blown down, Russian soldiers filed out and entered the position along the traffic trench, preparing to resist the German attack. However, some blastholes have lost their voices. They had been bombed and collapsed in the previous heavy German shelling. The Russian officers and soldiers inside were also buried alive inside.
"Damn it, the German shelling is too violent. Our position has become like this in just two hours. How can we resist the German attack?" A Russian battalion commander wanted to cry but had no tears. The defensive positions they had painstakingly built before had been almost destroyed by the German shelling. The trenches were blown up, the firepower of the machine guns was also destroyed, and even the barbed wire in front of the position was crumbling.
"Even if there is no defensive position, under the wise leadership of Comrade Joseph, we can still resist the German attack!" The battalion instructor said with enthusiasm. For these people, it seems that as long as Joseph is there, the powerful German army will be easily defeated like a paper tiger.
"Attack!"
The offensive order of the German Army Group B has been issued, and the five army groups have launched an attack on a defense line that is more than 500 kilometers long.
The 8th Army, as one of the two armored armies of the German Army, is undoubtedly the main force of this offensive. They were charged with starting from Minsk and fighting all the way to Smolensk. As the western gateway of Moscow, if Smolensk falls, the German army will be able to directly threaten Moscow. Therefore, the Western Front of the Russian Army deployed its headquarters here.
Standing in front of the German 8th Army was the Russian 3rd Army and part of the 3rd Tank Army.
"Crack! Creak!" The German "Black Panther" tanks and "Tiger" tanks drove out of their positions and rushed towards the Russian positions. These tanks formed torrents of steel and swept towards the Russian positions.
The two armored divisions, three mechanized infantry divisions and six motorized infantry divisions under the 8th Army have gone all out in this attack. The two armored divisions, one left and one right, formed two fists and attacked the Russian army. Three mechanized infantry divisions accompanied the armored division to attack. Soldiers riding on tracked infantry fighting vehicles and infantry transport vehicles can better advance the armored forces. As for the motorized infantry divisions, his task is to replace the armored and mechanized infantry divisions after they have completed the division and encirclement, and to destroy the Russian army that was divided and encircled.
"My God! German tanks!"
"Bring up the anti-tank guns, we need reinforcements!"
"Call our tank unit, the Germans have dispatched a large number of tanks, we need them to destroy the German tanks!"
The Russian commanders on the front line responded to their superiors one after another.
Originally, they had already suffered heavy losses under the heavy shelling of the German army. Now, in the face of the attack of the German armored forces, one can imagine the consequences. It is almost impossible to resist the German attack without strong reinforcements.
Many Russian soldiers on the ground saw such a situation for the first time. Under the majesty of the charge of the German armored forces, some timid people were even scared to pee their pants.
