"God! What should we do? Should we continue to attack?" Some Cossack cavalry were timid.
Even the bravest people will become timid when faced with such a situation. Their courage will slowly fade away as their comrades around them fall one after another.
Under the powerful firepower of German military, Cossack cavalry's casualties began to skyrocket, which made them timid.
However, there is still the brave Cossack cavalry, who charges against the powerful firepower of German military. It even succeeded.
A tank's coaxial machine gun and directional machine gun stopped firing at the same time because of overheating. This gave a few brave Cossack cavalry a chance. They took the opportunity to rush through the last 100 meters or so and rushed in front of German tanks.
"Damn Germany people, you are all devils, go to hell!" a Cossack cavalry shouted loudly, he raised the saber in his hand high and looked at the tank fiercely.
"Dang!"
A crisp sound sounded, and the indestructible saber struck the tank hard. However, the saber was directly broken. The damage caused by this blow to the tank was just a little paint loss.
"This... how is this possible?" That Cossack cavalry looked at his broken saber and was completely speechless.
Several other Cossack cavalry were also stunned at the same time.
"This is the devil's weapon. Even if it is the devil's weapon, we must destroy it." Another Cossack cavalry said.
Several Cossack cavalry surrounded the tank and slashed at it, causing sparks to fly. But it didn't cause any substantial damage to the tank at all. The few armored soldiers in the tank were frightened for a while. However, when they discovered that those Cossack cavalry could not threaten them at all, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After the machine guns had finished cooling down, the tank crews launched their attack.
"Da da da!"
The Cossack cavalry directly in front of the tank was killed by the heading machine gun. At the same time, the tank's turret also began to rotate, and the coaxial machine gun began to fire, and the remaining Cossack cavalry formed a honeycomb.
"Stupid guys, do they really think that the saber can cut through solid armor?" Colonel Guderian was very speechless.
"They have paid the price for their stupidity. Although I have to admit that they are all Valiant and very brave. However, such bravery will only cost them their lives." Lieutenant Colonel Rommel shook his head.
"Order all tanks to start moving forward and deal with them." Colonel Guderian ordered.
More than a hundred tanks began to advance. Although, their speed is not fast. But the powerful firepower is still harvesting the lives of these Cossack cavalry. In the eyes of Cossack cavalry, these tanks have become synonymous with devil.
"Run away! Run away quickly! We can't defeat the Germany people, they will kill us."
"Retreat, retreat immediately."
The brave Cossack cavalry became timid at this moment. In front of 8th Armored Division, they have lost the courage to continue fighting.
"We have failed. We have failed. Retreat!" Major General Andrei looked ashen.
"Retreat immediately!" Major General Karsky nodded and gave the order to retreat.
However, the two Cossack Cavalry Division of the current Russian army do not have many people left at all. More than half of the people were killed or injured in the battle and left to die on the battlefield.
Many people were lost in the war. Major General Andrei and Major General Karsky were able to gather less than 2,000 people in the end. These two Cossack Cavalry Division could be considered disabled in this battle.
Oscar, General Hindenburg and others, who had been watching the battle from behind, were almost shocked when they learned that Cossack cavalry of Russia actually launched a charge towards 8th Armored Division.
Especially Oscar, even more so. Originally, he thought that the Poland cavalry charge against the German military tanks written in the history books was fabricated. But now it seems that there really is such a thing!
"Your Highness, 8th Armored Division defeated Russians's Cossack cavalry, which should be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Russians will not have the courage to continue fighting. Therefore, I think Russians should escape immediately. 20th Corps, have they reached the predetermined position? If they can block Russians's retreat, we will win a big victory." General Hindenburg said with some excitement.
"Send Telegram to ask General Mackensen. They must move quickly and not give Russians too much time. Otherwise, our victory this time will not be perfect enough." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Ludendorff immediately arranged for someone to send Telegram.
Half an hour later, 20th Corps Commander Lieutenant General Mackensen called back. 20th Corps had arrived at the predetermined location and was working hard to build a defense line and prepare to block the Russian army.
This news made Oscar and others breathe a sigh of relief.
Just when Oscar and the others thought they were sure of victory, Russian 2nd Army Corps's headquarters was in a state of gloom.
"Your Excellency Commander, Germans' secret weapon is so powerful. Our two cavalry divisions launched an attack and were defeated by them. Now there are less than two thousand people left in the two divisions." Major General Andrei said with red eyes.
"Even Cossack cavalry is no match for Germany? How can we continue this battle!" General Samsonov couldn't help but sigh.
"General, find a way to retreat. The Germany people are advancing towards us. The troops along the road are unable to stop them at all, and they are all on the verge of collapse. If we don't retreat, it won't be long before they hit us." A general suggested.
Obviously, 2nd Army Corps, who has suffered heavy losses now, is no match for Germany people. If they persist, they will only suffer heavy losses.
"Okay, order the troops to retreat immediately. 22nd Infantry Division and 23rd Infantry Division, stay to stop the Germany people. No matter what, you need to buy us at least one day." General Samsonov ordered.
He knew very well that if everyone retreated in a swarm, they would be followed and attacked by the Germany people. When the time comes, the retreat will turn into a rout, resulting in complete defeat.
"Yes, General." The two Infantry Division division commanders whose names were called had no choice but to accept the order.
But at this moment, a staff officer hurried in.
"General, we found a large number of Germany people behind us."
Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
