When Russian 9th Army Corps was blocked by Siedlce by German military 20th Corps, Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps's life became even more difficult. German 8th Army Corps's main force, 11th Corps, 17th Corps and 8th Armored Division, launched a more fierce attack on them.
Relying on 8th Armored Division's powerful assault force, Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps cannot organize a strong defense at all. They often just deploy a line of defense and will be torn apart by 8th Armored Division. The entire Guard 2nd Army Corps is completely in chaos. The organization of various troops was also disrupted.
"Colonel Guderian, Crown Prince asked 8th Armored Division to make continuous assaults to separate the Russian army. The infantry will follow behind, and the Russian army will continue to divide, surround and annihilate them." Lieutenant General François said.
"Yes, General. However, our tanks are losing very quickly. If we maintain the current assault speed, there will be no tanks left that can move within three days at most." Colonel Guderian said with a grimace.
Although, the reliability of the tanks they are fielding now has been greatly improved compared to the original batch. However, in frequent battles, they are still often damaged due to mechanical failures.
"Crown Prince means that as long as there is still one tank that can move, the attack cannot stop. The tanks to be supplemented for you have already arrived at the border. If you lose a regiment, you can immediately accept another regiment." Lieutenant General François said.
"Yes, General." Guderian nodded. In this case, he would have nothing to worry about.
German 8th Armored Division, completely implemented the command of Oscar. They continued to launch assaults on the Russian army, which kept Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps suppressed and their losses continued to rise.
"Da da da!"
A dozen tanks, covering a Infantry Battalion, attacked a Russian position of Infantry Division. This is not a fully staffed Infantry Division, but a Infantry Division that has been severely damaged. Although, their strength is still several times that of the attacking German military. However, they still couldn't resist the tanks of German military.
"God! German tanks is here, run away!"
A Russian soldier shouted loudly and wanted to turn around and escape. However, the bullet fired from German military's tank hit his back and penetrated his body.
The tanks' tracks invisibly pressed against the Russian position, and the Russian soldiers fled in all directions amid screams. The tanks of German military followed them and fired with machine guns. The Russian soldiers fell in pieces. The tracks of the tanks ran over the corpses, grinding them into pulp.
German military's infantry followed the tank, protecting the sides and rear of the tank while clearing the remaining enemies on the position.
In less than half an hour, the battle was over. This position was captured by German military. The Russian army stationed here was defeated again and suffered heavy losses. The number of Russian troops captured by German military alone exceeded 2,000, and at least a thousand were killed.
"God! This battle is too simple. We just need to follow the tanks and attack continuously. After breaking through Russians's position, we are waiting to capture the prisoners." A German military Captain had a cigarette in his mouth and a contented look on his face.
"Yes! Under the wise leadership of Crown Prince, we 8th Army Corps have become the most powerful legion among the Imperial Army. Russians actually dares to attack us. He is simply seeking death." A German military's face was full of admiration for Oscar.
Indeed, as German military wins one victory after another, Oscar's influence in the army is also constantly increasing. Personality worship often forms gradually in this way.
"Everyone, take the time to take a rest. In half an hour, we will continue the attack!" A major battalion commander came over and said to them.
"Yes, sir." The two men replied quickly.
"I really envy those who drive tanks. All they have to do is drive their tanks and run rampant, but we have to run behind them. By then, we will not be beaten to death by Russians, but will be exhausted to death." Officer Captain said.
"Yes! Those guys, hiding in the tank, don't have to worry about Russians bullets." Lieutenant officer also looked envious.
Indeed, armored troops have become the envy of all branches of the army. Not only because tanks are very majestic when attacking, but also because tank soldiers are very safe compared to infantry.
German 8th Armored Division, has been dispersed into battalions and companies, assisting the infantry in launching attacks. With their support, German military was able to attack the powerful Russian army with a smaller number of troops, and achieved victory one after another.
Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps, under the attack of German military's tactics, was constantly weakened. Of course, for German military, this is a winning process. However, for Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps, it is a very painful process. The feeling of watching one's own troops being weakened bit by bit and dying bit by bit is indeed very uncomfortable.
"Asshole! Damn Germany people, the entire battlefield has turned into a mess. How on earth are they going to fight?" General Krapovitch now feels a deep sense of powerlessness.
The Russian army lacked radio communication equipment, and when the entire battlefield became chaotic, the command became even more chaotic. General Krapovitch's order can only be issued to division-level troops. As for the lower-level troops, they are completely out of command. Such a situation is definitely very unfavorable for the command of the troops.
However, General Krapovitch has no other way. The entire Guard 2nd Army Corps was completely in chaos under the impact of German 8th Armored Division. There are situations everywhere where generals cannot find their soldiers and soldiers cannot find their superiors.
"General, Guard 18th Infantry Division reported that except for Division Headquarters, all our subordinate troops have been eaten by Germany people." A staff officer reported.
"Damn it! Send Telegram to all subordinates Infantry Corps and ask them to gather their troops immediately. Germany people cannot be allowed to continue like this." General Krapovitch ordered.
"Yes, General."
However, it is easier said than done! In this chaotic battlefield, it is almost impossible to gather the troops. German military tanks are rampaging everywhere. Many Russian troops had to surrender to German military under such circumstances. Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps, has long been in desperate situation.
