The Russian army 19th Army Corps and 20th Army Corps are both powerful troops. 19th Army Corps has jurisdiction over the 25th Infantry Division, 34th Corps, the 26th Mechanized Corps, the 38th Infantry Division and other units. 20th Army Corps has jurisdiction over the 61st and 69th Infantry Corps, the 7th Mechanized Infantry Corps, the 18th Infantry Division and other units.
Under the current battlefield conditions, tanks and armored vehicles cannot be used in the attack. Therefore, the infantry of the two armies immediately launched an attack. Hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers braved Cold Wind, shouted slogans loudly, and rushed towards the Polish 3rd Army Corps 22nd Infantry Division and 23rd Infantry Division defense lines. However, if you look closer, you can clearly see that each of these Russian soldiers has bruises on their faces from the cold. But their fighting will is very strong.
Some Russian soldiers fell to the ground after running a few steps and struggled a few times to get up from the cold snow. But in the end it was not successful. Soon, there was no more sound from them.
Russia's winter is already very cold, and most people simply can't bear it. Even if Russians lives in such weather for a long time, its frost resistance is slightly stronger than others. However, that strength is limited. In the absence of winter clothing, even Russians will freeze to death.
Although Marshal Voroshilov previously requested Shaposhnikov to provide Western Front with more winter supplies as much as possible. But even if Shaposhnikov tried his best, he still couldn't meet the needs of the front line. After all, Russia was not fully prepared for this war. The materials provided by United States to Buru could not be transported to Western Front in time due to Great Siberian Railway's transportation capacity. It is precisely because of this that many Russian soldiers still lack winter clothing.
The fallen Russian soldiers were quickly stripped naked by their comrades. They wore the clothes of dead Russian soldiers on themselves to enhance their ability to withstand the cold winter.
The Russian army continued to attack, but before Polish Army could open fire, many Russian soldiers fell on the snow.
General Zhukov and Lieutenant General Konev, who were watching the battle from behind, saw this situation through the telescope, and their expressions became very ugly.
"We should not launch an attack at this time. In other words, we should not launch this war at this time at all!" Lieutenant General Konev said.
Zhukov also sighed, "Many things are not decided by us. We are just soldiers, and we only need to execute orders. I will report to Area Army Headquarters and General Staff Headquarters about the winter supplies!"
"Fire!"
On the defense line of the 22nd Infantry Division of the Polish Army and 23rd Infantry Division, Commander gave the order to fire.
One by one, the Poland soldiers lay down on the trenches and started shooting with their rifles and machine guns.
"Ta-ta-ta! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Intense bullets were fired at the Russian soldiers. Red blood flowers bloomed on the chests or other places of countless Russian soldiers, and they fell to the ground screaming. Blood flowed from their bodies, staining the blood on the ground red. Because the weather was too cold, after the hot blood flowed out, it was quickly frozen into black ice.
"Boom! Boom!"
Mortars, infantry artillery, and field artillery were all firing, and shells were hitting the attacking Russian columns one after another. The shell exploded in the queue, and the scattered shrapnel took away the lives of many Russian soldiers.
Although, after entering modern times, Poles's combat effectiveness seems to be not strong. However, under the arming and training of Germany, Polish Army's combat effectiveness gradually improved. Let them attack Russians in the field, and Polish Army may not be able to resist it. However, in defensive operations, they could still rely on solid fortifications and powerful firepower to kill the Russian army with a fierce attack.
"God! Those Russians are so brave. I saw with my own eyes that they only wore flimsy military uniforms. They were still attacking in such weather. They are so brave!" A Poland soldier wearing a thick cotton coat and a white cloak looked amazed after shooting a Russian soldier.
"Why do you care so much? Those Russians deserve to die. Even if they don't freeze to death, they will be killed by us!" said another Poland soldier. These Poland soldiers don't have a good impression of Russians. When Poland was ruled by Russia, they were often enslaved by Russians, and many people even died at the hands of Russians. Now, they can take revenge, and many Poles cherish this opportunity.
"Da da da!"
On the position, two Heavy Machine Guns of the Polish Army were firing. Although this is already an old product used by German military in the previous World War, in the hands of these Poland soldiers, it still exerts extremely powerful combat effectiveness. A large number of Russian soldiers fell to the ground and lost their lives under intensive machine gun fire.
On the other side, the attacks of the Russian army 21st Army Corps and 22nd Army Corps also hit the defense line of 1st Infantry Division and 2nd Infantry Division subordinate to 1st Belarusian Army Corps.
Belarusians and Russians belong to the same ethnic group. But unfortunately, now they are life and death enemies. In particular, the Russian army regarded these Belarusians as traitors and wanted to kill them all.
However, the attacks of the Russian army 21st Army Corps and 22nd Army Corps posed a considerable threat to the Belarusian Army 1st Infantry Division and 2nd Infantry Division. But they were able to use the weapons in their hands to fight head-on.
A large number of Russian soldiers fell down due to the cold or from the bullets fired by the weapons in the hands of Belarus soldiers, losing their lives and lying on the cold snow.
Although the Russian soldiers performed very bravely in the battle, they did not collapse even though they suffered heavy losses. However, their attack seemed to be nothing at all, as if they were sending themselves to death. Apart from wasting some enemy bullets and leaving a large number of corpses on the ground, there is no other effect.
1st Belarusian Army Corps Commander Lieutenant General Chelyushenkov and Polish 3rd Army Corps Commander Lieutenant General Vashkevich also breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the frontline troops had resisted the Russian attack. They knew that as long as the troops could withstand the Russian attack, there would be nothing to fear. Next, you can use powerful firepower to further cause greater casualties to the Russian army.
