"The Germans took the initiative and successfully defeated our previous corps. We lost at least 70 artillery pieces. In the 1v1 encounter, we could not stop our opponents." A staff officer reported to Brusinov.&1t;/p>

"Since that's the case, let the corps behind carry out according to the plan. All the artillery is used, I don't believe it. The Germans can penetrate our defense." That night, when Brusinov received this information, he finally decided to start a decisive battle in advance. It would be obvious that he was not prepared for the Germans to take the initiative to attack. Long before the attack, Brusinov had considered what to do if the German elite armored troops directly hedged with him?&1t;/p>

"The so-called fast armored divisions in Germany are not all armored units. They still have a large number of infantry units. Therefore, the key to our fight against such enemies is to entangle their armored units with a certain amount of force, and concentrate superior infantry units to attack the opponent's infantry units. We have more artillery and machine guns. When their tanks are restrained, the winner will definitely be us!" In the pre-war order, the Russian general wrote.&1t;/p>

Therefore, once the German main fast division encounters, the Russian offensive forces will be deployed into a font-shaped formation, two regiments form a combat unit, and there will be a large number of 3-fire guns and a small number of 122mm howitzers are strengthened. Behind this font-shaped formation, there are a large number of heavy artillery and even railway guns. The three combat units will form an attack front line with a width of about 15 kilometers on the front. This width is very particular. The howitzers of the combat group can support each other. With the mobility of the tank troops, it is difficult to get around. After all, the tanks in the first battle run a little faster than people.&1t;/p>

"The last ten kilometers? Forget it, we won't continue to move forward." When the day was dark, the major general received the news from the front line. The main force of the Russian army had arrived and launched a wide front. It is impossible to continue to attack. People may still be able to persist, but a large number of artillery and ammunition cannot be carried. Unlike light infantry combat, for the troops of European powers, without artillery and tanks, they will become a toothless tiger. Seeing that they can't escape, they can only fight hard.&1t;/p>

"We only have one night to prepare and order all non-mechanized infantry units to build fortifications immediately, and tomorrow will determine our destiny!" The major general ordered. So, from battalion-level officers to kids, everyone held an engineer shovel and began to dig trenches. The professional and technical level of the troops can reflect the quality of a unit, and the execution ability can also be reflected. When the order is issued, the soldiers can complete the order efficiently without fail. This is a reflection of the quality. On average, a soldier can dig a lying bunker in an average of 25 to 30 minutes on this not-so-hard ground. Then, they began to deepen and connect with each other.&1t;/p>

With a sufficient number of towing vehicles and horses, the artillery seized yesterday was not wasted and was directly dragged to the front line to reinforce the support points. For most of the night, the sound of digging soil was rustling on the German positions. The sound of amplified mice gnawing on wood can be heard even thousands of meters away. Some vehicles were not idle either. They transported some stones or wood to reinforce some key support points. Don't ask where the wood came from. When passing by a small town, the tanks of the fast troops played the role of bulldozers...&1t;/p>

If Prince Ruprecht watched his subordinates rush to establish a division-level defensive position in one night, he would definitely be very pleased. The 10th Fast Division had a full 18,000 people, and this time there were 15,000 people who were advancing. More than 6ooo people with fast mobility were sent, and nearly 9ooo people were left. Logistics personnel, kitchen squads, and various auxiliary personnel also entered the battle this time. They picked up their rifles and grenades and joined the reserve team silently.&1t;/p>

"Tomorrow, I will lead all mobile forces to attack the Russian troops in the north. The north is the most suitable for attack, with a large front width and a flat terrain. Your task is to persevere until we break through the opponent, or the reinforcements behind us arrive." The Major General issued an order.&1t;/p>

As for why the mobile troops are not defending? A few hours later, when dawn is approaching, the Russian train cannons tell everyone the reason! When a loud noise came from several kilometers away like thunder, everyone knew that if it was just a passive defense, then the 10th Fast Division would be crushed by the opponent's heavy artillery and the sea of ​​people! After about 10 inches of shells fell on the ground, they directly exploded a huge pit several meters deep and more than 30 meters in diameter! It was astonishing as the scratches of a giant.&1t;/p>

Fortunately, the major general's actions were quite fast. As early as the evening, the major general had already commanded his troops to sneak into the predetermined position. They advanced along the terrain and trees to a place less than 2 ooo meters away from the Russian position. Then, everything is ready now, but the east wind is not available!&1t;/p>

The Russians really invested a lot this time! Nearly three-digit artillery of various caliber were prepared for more than 30 minutes of firepower, which was also a record in the field battle at the division level. In each, countless red light spots rose from a distance. The screaming sound of the shells high in the air was like the hideous smile of the god of death. Every minute, tons of shells fell on the ground, and the earth moaned in the constant bombardment. Countless smoke columns obscured the German defensive positions. Flames and shrapnel rage in the air, and the shock waves generated by the explosion were transmitted on the ground, just like the dusk of the gods. The sky was covered by smoke, and tons of shells fell like the flames of the doomsday meteorite rain. The earth was torn by huge forces. The entire frontier position was made by dense shells, like the surface of the moon!&1t;/p>

Human life is as fragile as a flame in a storm under this destructive attack. The three-digit German officers and soldiers were torn into pieces during the baptism of this flame storm. Most of them were dead without a complete corpse, and a small number of charred fragments could be found. When the corpse was finally collected, the most complete corpse was a sergeant who had been cut off half of his body, but he did not suffer much passage before his death, because before, he had been shattered by the shock wave of the shell.&1t;/p>

The surviving people tried their best to lie on the ground and protect their heads with their hands. At first, they could hear the explosion of artillery, but then they soon disappeared. Many people's ears were shaken and they were even deaf.&1t;/p>
