Although the Russian army had lost the ability to further attack on the local front, on the wide frontal battlefield, three Russian infantry divisions still wedged into the German positions. At this time, the middle part of the circular defensive position originally built along the landing site was knocked down by a large piece. About one division of Russian troops had entered this breakthrough, and the Bavarian legion of the two assault brigades stationed here could not simply rely on their own strength to close the breakthrough.

The Russian army continued to advance, and the artillery and ammunition they were dragging were trekking hard on the muddy ground. The cavalry troops that arrived first also hoped to recreate the glory of their ancestors. They tried to do something behind the German army. In the eyes of the Russians, the German army's troops who defended here were no more than 10,000, and now all their troops have more than 35,000, so they can be defeated no matter how they fight!

"We can already see the cross in Mariupol Church! Give me another 2 hours and my artillery can cover the entire port group." A Russian artillery colonel wrote in a telegram to his superiors.

"Very good. Once you enter the position, open fire immediately! Blow up the entire town and the port area!" The other party's callback was extremely simple and even cold-blooded.

"That's our city!" The colonel didn't believe his eyes and asked the telegrapher to send a message again.

"If we don't destroy it today, maybe in a few days we will lose here forever." The boss's call was extremely firm. At this time, what the Russians could not imagine was that not to say 2 hours, after half an hour, the group of artillery concentrated by the Russians would become a sea of ​​fire. One hour later, the second batch of Bavarian legions transported from the distant Balkans set foot on this land!

At this time, 18 kilometers away from the coast, Count Lukner's flagship Prince Eugen had already anchored up and down the sea. 9 thick 350mm cannons aimed at the distance. It has to be said that the Azov is really not suitable for large warships to sail. It was originally believed that the range of more than 20 kilometers of naval guns was enough, but who would have thought that the waters near the port could not accommodate more than 25,000 tons of warships. Therefore, the main battleship of the German fleet could only be located in the outer sea, and in this case, the original range of artillery shells would not be enough.

Fortunately, the solution was finally found. There was a batch of specially made 450kg light high-explosive bombs hidden in the Constantinople Sea. These shells were originally used to defend against the Dardanelles. Because of their light weight, they had a higher initial speed and were farther. Therefore, when the original artillery range was not enough, Prince Eugen ran back to Constantinople overnight to replace the shells, and then rushed back at an average speed of more than 23 knots. You can't say that time really caught up...

"The Russians seem to be preparing to launch the final general attack. They have transported the gun group to a place less than 10 kilometers away from the city. According to aircraft reconnaissance, the entire gun group is about 60 gates, and there are also a long-lost 152mm heavy howitzer. It seems that they are ready to fight." On another huge map, the staff officers marked the Russian artillery group they found one by one, and then discussed the attack order with relevant personnel.

At the same time, in the temporary port, the Bavarian armored troops who arrived on the front line in advance also began to unload the goods. There is no way to use large hornet assault guns, but a small number of cricket tanks and various armored vehicles are still possible. These things that look like armored Alto are still very shocking on the eastern front, although their strongest weapon is only 20mm or 40mm machine guns.

At this time, some artillery had entered the position, and hundreds of artillery soldiers began to busy unload the heavy artillery from the carriage. Because the 152mm heavy artillery was a bit heavy, the Russians adopted the decomposition method, transporting the artillery carriage and the barrel separately, and then reassembly after they arrived at the position. Although the 122mm cannon and the 107mm cannon were not used, it also took time to enter the position.

In addition to artillery techniques, the coordinated coordination is also very important. Thousands of horses, hundreds of various vehicles, and thousands of troops were concentrated in a small area, people shouted and neighed, and a chaotic scene. A large number of vehicles transporting supplies were piled up behind. With the help of horses, groups of soldiers pushed out the artillery trapped in mud pits or re-arranged them. So much so that the German pilots performing reconnaissance missions from the air were silent for the Russians. Because in a few minutes, the rain of destruction would fall from the sky!

A few minutes later, 27 kilometers away, Prince Eugen poured fire of destruction towards the target again! This time, the Germans did not even conduct a scattered fire! Nine artillery fired at full speed! In the first minute, Prince Eugen fired nearly 10 tons of shells! This is almost equivalent to the firepower output of 200 152mm artillery full-scattered fire!

"This time, we don't need to leave any extra shells, and we will all shoot all the shells!" Earl Lukner's arrogant order kicked off the collapse of the Russian army! All 1,200 rounds of 450kg high-explosive bombs, what is this concept! It's enough to blow up the Russian artillery positions in the distance three times!

When a 350mm shell fell from the air with a whistle of destruction, almost all the Russians were shocked. This was an irresistible natural disaster. The Russians had thought about the support of the naval guns of German battleships. On the contrary, as the local snake of the Azov Sea, the Russians were very clear about the hydrological situation here. It was difficult for the near-shore areas to accommodate large battleship movements. According to the current range of the main battleships that are only over 20 kilometers long, it should be difficult to attack them. However, what they could not imagine was that a new flicker became a nightmare for the Russian army!

The violent explosion sounded torn apart the entire battlefield! The smoke column as high as dozens of meters was like a sword of destruction falling from the sky. With mechanical accuracy, the German battleship began to accurately cover every area. Under the guidance of the aircraft, a loud noise like thunder came from afar. Even on the German front line several kilometers away, you can see the smoke and shining fires generated by the continuous explosions in the distance.

The positions where dozens of artillery guns, hundreds of tons of shells and launching medicines, hundreds of carriages, thousands of horses and thousands of Russian soldiers were instantly turned into a hell. The bombed shattered artillery and the mud and minced meat mixed together, and huge craters were evenly distributed throughout the entire shelling area. No corner was safe.

The entire shelling time lasted for more than two hours. When the last shell fell, the buzzing position of the sea was now as quiet as death two hours ago. Countless fragments and incomplete corpses remained on the battlefield. The surface soil became fluffy, and the air mixed with the smell of blood and smoke filled the sky above the battlefield. The Russians did not have any time to observe silence for their companions, because behind the German front, a new force that had just joined the battlefield would completely overturn the situation on the entire battlefield!
