Kingdom of Ukraine, as a country where German Emperor also serves as König, among the many Protectorates of Germany, its strength is considered very strong, with an army of 1.5 million, organized into six group armies and several independent units. Among them, there are also two Armored Division, two Heavy Artillery Brigade and two cavalry divisions.
Of course, most of the tanks equipped by Ukraine Armored Division are the tanks eliminated by the German Army. But even so, the performance is still very advanced. At least, in the current international world, there are very few who can crush them in terms of weapons and equipment.
Ukraine General Staff Headquarters, Feldorov Prime Minister and Minister of War Andrei arrived here early in the morning. Because the place where the attack was launched was located in the southwest of Ukraine, they did not rush to the front line.
"General Maxim, has the attack begun?" Feldorov Prime Minister asked.
Although Kingdom of Ukraine's strength has been greatly improved since Russia became independent*, perhaps it is because it has been ruled and oppressed by Russia for a long time. This made Feldorov Prime Minister and others subconsciously have a fear of Russia, fearing that their army would be defeated by Russians.
"Prime Minister, the attack has not started yet. However, we should be able to defeat Russians." General Maxim said. Compared to Feldorov Prime Minister, he is undoubtedly more confident. Because he knows better how powerful Ukrainian army is.
"Prime Minister, don't worry too much. The combat effectiveness of our army is still very strong. After all, our army is equipped with German weapons. Although they were replaced by the Germany army, they are still considered advanced weapons. At least, they are more advanced than the weapons of the Buru army. Same. In the past few years, instructor Germany has been helping us train the troops. This has greatly strengthened the morale and fighting will of the troops. As long as we don't encounter Buru's real elite troops, we will definitely defeat them." Andrei also said.
"Rostov-on-Don is only a few dozen kilometers away from our border. With the speed of 1st Army Corps, 1st Armored Division, 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and 1st Cavalry Division, we can get there in two days. And there is no main force of Russians nearby, at most It's just some Border Guards. We should be able to occupy Rostov-on-Don soon and evacuate before Russians's main force arrives. In this case, Russians can't do anything to us." General Maxim said.
Feldorov Prime Minister At this time, I put my hanging heart back into my stomach.
"In other words, we will make Russians suffer a big loss this time, right?" Feldorov Prime Minister asked.
"If there are no accidents, it should be like this!" Andrei nodded.
"God! It's unimaginable that our Ukraine would actually take the initiative to attack Buru. You know, the current Buru is more powerful than the original Tsarist Russia!" Feldorov Prime Minister sighed.
"Prime Minister, this time we will not only attack Buru, but we will also completely defeat Russia. German Empire has prepared for this war It's been a long time. With the German Empire's strength, it's impossible for Russians to withstand it. "General Maxim is very confident in Germany's military strength. He also firmly believes that German Empire will definitely defeat Russia this time.
"Well, I also believe that German Empire will win the final victory. As German Empire's Protectorate, Kingdom of Ukraine also need to do their best in this battle. Russia is our biggest enemy. Only when Buru is destroyed can we be truly safe. Our people will not worry about being enslaved by Russia for generations to come!" Feldorov Prime Minister said.
"Yes, Prime Minister!" Andrei and General Maxim both answered loudly. As the generals of Kingdom of Ukraine, they naturally hope that their army can perform better in this battle.
Frontline, Ukrainian Army 1st Army Corps Headquarters, Lieutenant General Vladimir is observing the battle on the frontline with a telescope. Half an hour ago, Ukrainian army started the bombardment. Because of Germany's intelligence support, Ukrainian army was very clear about the deployment of Russian troops on the border before attacking.
Ukrainian Army assembled hundreds of artillery pieces and launched a fierce bombardment against the Border Guards 189th Division of Buru. It was morning at this time, and the Buru soldiers had not gotten up yet. When the shells fell into the military camp, many people were awakened. They ran out of the military camp without even having time to put on their pants. There are even many Buru soldiers who lost their lives in their sleep.
After the heavy shelling, Ukrainian army launched the attack. Ukrainian Army 1st Armored Division, leading the way. The tanks used by this Armored Division are the 'Panzer I' or 'Panzer II' tanks that Germany Armored Forces used before. Their performance is far from comparable to the 'Panther tank' tank that Germany Armored Forces is currently equipped with. However, Ukrainian army is already very satisfied with it.
Hundreds of tanks formed a Steel Torrent and rushed towards the territory of Buru.
The tracks of the tank crushed across the border and headed towards Bolshevik border guards's position in a mighty manner.
The previous fierce shelling had left Bolshevik border guards stunned. As Border Guards, they are just the second-line troops of the Buru Army, with poor equipment and weak fighting will. Normally, it would be no problem to bully the common people and arrest a few fugitives. However, it would undoubtedly be difficult for them to go to war and resist the enemy's fierce attack.
What's more, Ukrainian Army also used a large number of tanks and heavy artillery this time. Such weapons and equipment are even more powerful than the Buru field troops. This naturally makes those Bolshevik border guards think that their enemies are not Ukraine people at all, but the powerful Germany people. It seems that only Germany people can be equipped with so many advanced weapons.
Under such circumstances, can we still count on these Border Guards to stick to their positions? They ran away before Ukrainian Army's Armored Forces rushed in front of them. Although they are not good at fighting, they are undoubtedly good at escaping. Otherwise, they would not have been stationed on the border for such a long time.
Ukrainian army was greatly encouraged by the vulnerability of Buru's army. At the same time, the fear in my heart completely dissipated. More than 200,000 troops crossed the border and went directly to Rostov-on-Don.
