As the Russian army deepened, the directional thunders originally hidden in the trench were triggered one by one. In the semi-enclosed space, the lethality of these weapons was greatly enhanced. Before the Russian army entering the trench could react from the smoke, a group of infantry carrying submachine guns and submachine pistols had rushed to them. The mp submachine gun, known as bullet sprayers, cooperated with the large-capacity bullet drums, quickly harvested the opponent's life.

The German army familiar with the positions can always appear in the places that the Russians most unexpectedly. In this battle that was like hide-and-seek, the Russian army that first entered the positions was attacked by dense landmines and fierce close firepower of the German army. At this moment, the reinforcements were then suppressed by the remaining mortars and machine guns of the Germans.

The machine gun team moved the positions alternately, and with the cooperation of smokescreen and mortars, they hid the attack of the Russian flat-fired artillery. When the Russian troops entering the positions were completely wiped out, this attack actually failed. After all, the Russian shells were not infinite. They needed to transport the shells from the rear again, and the offensive troops also needed to reorganize.

"At worst, just do it again. If you can't fight once, we can fight twice or three times! Sooner or later, they can drive them out." The Russian officer in charge of the attack said distractedly. Overall, the Russians have never been known for their fineness compared to other powerful forces at the same time. In addition, Russia has a large population, so they are very willing to drag their opponents to death at a higher human cost than their opponents.

However, what he could not imagine was that the situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. While the current line seemed to be shaking, the changes that appeared deep in the front could completely change the situation of the battle!

"The Prince Eugen battleship has replenished its ammunition and has taken on the heavy responsibility of frontal fire suppression, so our truck gun can be used to support the dock, and the inland gunboat we need has also been in place and can move along the river. This time, we can break the other party's backbone!"

At this moment, the Germans have readjusted their firepower deployment. The truck cannons that were originally withdrawn were strengthened and transferred again. The arrival of a team of inland gunboats equipped with 88mm and 105mm artillery caused a crisis on the flank of the Russian army. However, the Russians who lacked reconnaissance methods knew nothing about this!

When the Russians were preparing to launch the 10th attack, when a large number of infantry entered the position amid the scolding of officers, the artillery regained ammunition, and the deployment of the front-line positions was completed, several gray-black figures appeared in the Russians' vision on the flank of the battlefield. The Russians saw these, but they did not care at first, because many Russian personnel and ammunition were transported across this river, and because the fleet was backlit, they did not recognize the German naval flag on it as soon as possible.

Four 850-ton destroyers temporarily played the role of a gunboat. They unloaded the torpedo, and each ship was equipped with 2 105mm artillery and 3 88mm artillery. The four destroyers did not attack the Russians' forward positions at the first time. They chose to go upstream and aim directly at the 107mm cannon and 122mm artillery positions behind them. These are the pillars of the Russian firepower. The 3-inch rapid-fire cannon in front is handled by others.

Two seaplanes flew to the battlefield again, and the Russians were no longer surprised by this. Although they were at the Russians' home court, the entire Donetsk garrison now had no more than one lot of planes to fly! The Russians really couldn't do these planes, but fortunately, they were just reconnaissance planes rather than bombers, and they didn't even do low-altitude strafing. This is why most Russians ignore them, right?

"Finished!" Two seaplanes finally found the long-range artillery position from the chaotic rear of the Russian army. Two companies of 122mm artillery and one company of 107mm artillery were deployed not far from the river bank, and there was also a temporary dock there to unload the materials needed by the front-line offensive forces.

The Russians were well arranged. There was a hill between their artillery positions and the river, which just obscured the view from the river bank. And it is certain that the Russians must have hidden observation posts somewhere, guarding against attacks that might be launched from the river bank.

A series of roars of artillery broke the calm on the river. In the Russian observation post, they could see a series of fireballs rising from the water in the direction facing the sun, and the shells roared towards the Russian artillery positions 6,000 meters away. Although the lethality of the 105mm and 88mm artillery was relatively limited, it was also quite deadly for the Russian artillery positions that were not even built!

It has to be said that the combat quality and vigilance of the remaining Russian artillery are much worse than before. Maybe it feels that there is no threat, maybe it is just to save energy, the Russians have accumulated too much ammunition next to the open-air artillery position. At this time, when they are suddenly attacked, various hidden dangers are enough to be fatal!

The first wave of shells was very erratic, and a considerable part of them landed behind the artillery positions for parking carriages. However, with the help of the aircraft, German inland gunboats began to correct the data, and then gradually covered these artillery positions with tons of shells like rice.

Smoke columns rose into the air in the artillery positions, countless shrapnel and flames spread in the positions, spreading death freely. The sky-exploding shrapnel shots made all soft targets nowhere to hide. The steel rain falling from the sky easily harvested the lives of the panicked Russians. They were knocked to the ground like harvesting wheat.

At the beginning, the Russians tried to fight back. However, more and more high-explosive bombs killed the Russian troops next to the artillery position. When a shell landed on the pile of ammunition piles piled up somewhere, the Russians' efforts turned into a bubble. Hundreds of shells were dazzled in the middle of the Russian position! The violent guarantee swept across the small-scale artillery position like an iron storm.

Just after the long-range support artillery in the rear was destroyed, the rapid-fire artillery troops that were almost on the German forehead were also severely damaged. The 75mm truck gun with a motorized unit suddenly appeared in a place that the Russians could not imagine, and then easily blew several exposed artillery positions into pieces at a rate of 12 rounds per minute. After losing artillery support, the remaining German troops once again repelled the Russian attack with the volunteers of inland gunboats and machine gun fire. At this point, the Russians' offense in the northeast direction completely failed, and the inland gunboats that were freed up even had the spare effort to clean up the Russian transport ships!
