Anti-pirated chapter~~~! It’s changed in the old time~~~!

Between the front of dozens of kilometers and the depth of tens of kilometers, the Bavarian Legion quickly bleed the opponent with its elite weapons and massive ammunition! This is not that I don’t want to penetrate, but because under the current historical conditions, the opponent’s defense is too dense. This situation is somewhat similar to the Kursk Battle in the 2nd World War. The defense parties defend intensively, but unfortunately, because the Russian army had almost no armored troops in World War I, and its combat effectiveness is far from that of the opponent, so the final result is just to delay the arrival of destruction!

"We wiped out at least three divisions in one day today. The Russian army that had defeated no less than five divisions, and destroyed more than 300 war defense artillery! Destroy or suspected of destroying more than 120 long-range artillery, the Russians were really desperate." When the first day ended, when Lieutenant General Lauer submitted today's battle report, he couldn't help but be shocked by the bloody battle on this day.

"How are our casualties?" asked Prince Leopold.

"60 tanks were completely destroyed, and more than 40 left the battlefield for various reasons, with casualties of about 4,000. The key is that the ammunition is consumed hugely. Now the ammunition supply has become the largest logistical pressure. In order to ensure the ammunition on the front line, our propulsion speed may be compressed." Lieutenant General Raul said.

"Are there any signs of other Russian armies?" Prince Leopold said suddenly.

"Well, this, except for the fifth and fourth armies concentrated in front of us, the other Russian armies are still in place." Lieutenant General Raul felt that he could not keep up with the prince's ideas.

"That's good, don't worry. When the other Russian troops are not moving, we can just nail the two Russian armies here, send a report to the front-line divisions, and remind them to be careful of the Russians' night attacks." Prince Leopold thought for a while and said.

"The Russians suffered heavy casualties today, they..." said an officer next to him.

"Haha, think about it, the two Russian armies combined have nearly 600,000 troops. There are so many of these troops. Even with the current width of the battlefield, they can only enter the battle one after another. Although the losses were heavy before, they were far from the time when the oil was exhausted. If we grabbed one leg of each other this time, then they could still take a breath, but this time, we pinched their throats, so, you know!" said Prince Leopold.

In the last period before dusk, the German army began to speed up the final adjustments to its deployment. Second-line troops with relatively low combat intensity during the day began to enter the battlefield and take on defense tasks at night. Armored troops and elite mechanized infantry who had been fighting for a long time during the day temporarily retreated, and then replaced damaged parts with the help of the logistics unit and supplemented various consumptions.

"Maggie, it's almost roasted!" Out of the sultry and high temperature cab, Rommel leaned against the body of his car and looked at the sunset gradually falling in the distance. He breathed in the air filled with smoke and some inexplicable smell, and drank a lot of water for himself.

The armored soldiers were far less comfortable than people imagined. After the war, they had to drag their tired bodies to continue to be busy and take care of these precision steel monsters. A load-bearing wheel was broken on the left and needed to be replaced. The lace plate of the car body was riddled with holes and needed to be replaced. The engine cooling water was used up and filled. At the same time, the engine and gearbox must be repaired, and the oil and dust filters were replaced. So that these guys would run more happily tomorrow.

According to the plan, his troops will not have to fight tonight until 10 am tomorrow. After finishing today's work, he can at least have a good meal and have a good sleep! However, at this moment that determines the fate of the entire battle, not everyone has time to recover their strength. At the same time, as Prince Leopold expected, the Russians are preparing for the raid tonight!

"In today's battle, we completely lost 3 divisions, and another two divisions received a blow from the destruction level, losing more than 60% of the combatants. The Germans were still fighting harder than we thought. Some of their troops had been deeply wedged into the deepest line we had designed before. Some troops that were originally used for subsequent battles were put into prematurely, which would make our counterattack tonight weak! "Curropatkin said while removing several divisions that had been confirmed to be destroyed from the sand table.

"It doesn't matter, we will help you make up for the missing troops. The night attacks must be carried out at night, not to find much results, but to consume the opponent's strength. If the Germans are allowed to fight like this, our troops may not be able to last for 10 days!" said Borusinov, who was on the side.

"Then go as planned." After hesitating for a moment, Kuropatkin launched the night attack tonight almost as agreed in advance. This is probably the largest night attack operation in the entire Eastern Front since the start of the battle. Tonight, 6 divisions of Russian troops will launch a limited counter-assault. Because the artillery was severely damaged, the Russians will mainly rely on light weapons and direct-aim artillery this night battle. When night falls, thousands of Russian troops enter the attack position from the rear. They hold the rifles in their hands, carry the heavy Marcoxin water-cooled machine gun, and use a small number of horses to pull 45mm and 3-inch artillery. The Russian army, who has reached the level of fighting on the back, decided not to give their opponents or to rest!

Since the war, when the weak army cannot defeat its opponents during the day, they are used to trying every means to find ways to find a place at night. Of course, there are many successful night attacks, but with the advancement of technology, even in the night battle, the balance of the God of War tends to be the one with more guns and more cannons!

If the daytime battle is a frontal battle, then the nighttime battle requires more skills and small-scale confrontation. After entering the designated area, the troops on the second line began to set up cordons. Because it was a hasty layout, it was impossible to set up a large number of minefields to defend against infantry attacks. Therefore, the Germans decided to use some boogie-designed flares to serve as alert and obstruction tasks. These flares were specially processed, just like anti-infantry jumping, when triggered, they would automatically bounce up and illuminate the ground within a certain range around them.
