Chapter 346： Occupied

"Da da da!" On the Russian army's position, two Maxim heavy machine guns fired wildly at a German tank. The dense bullets hit the armor of the tank like a torrential rain, making tinkling sounds and sparks flying.

However, the tank seemed not to be affected at all, and continued to advance against the firepower of the Russian army.

"God! How can our enemies be so powerful? Are they all devils?" A Russian soldier was terrified.

In their eyes, the one who can't even deal with a heavy machine gun is probably the devil.

"Haha! These Russians, are they all fools? We have fought them several times, why do they use machine guns to deal with our tanks every time? Could it be that they thought that with the bullets of the machine guns, they could Can't the armor of the tank be penetrated?" The tank commander sneered.

"Who knows? Anyway, our order is to kill these Russians. It doesn't matter whether we kill them with shells, bullets, or treads. As long as these Russians are dead, we The task is completed." The driver said indifferently.

Indeed, for these armored soldiers who have experienced many battles, their tanks have been replaced several times, which also makes them completely numb to this war. Their weapons have completely become a killing weapon. No enemy can resist the attack of their tanks. At the same time, tanks will also give them the best protection, so that after they go to the battlefield, they can just kill people.

"That's right, our mission is to kill these Russians!" The gunner also said.

"Then work! Guys! Aim at the heavy machine guns of the Russians. Although we are not afraid, the infantry behind is. Get rid of them and provide protection for the infantry!" the commander ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

The turret of the tank began to rotate, and soon aimed at the heavy machine gun of the Russian army. When the Russian machine gunner found that the enemy's tank turret was aimed at him, he was scared out of his wits. Just about to run away, but before he could take two steps, the explosion sounded.

"Boom!"

The heavy machine gun of the Russian army was blown into a pile of parts. The Russian machine gunner was also killed in the explosion.

Immediately afterwards, the tank destroyed another heavy machine gun. A safe passage was cleared for the follow-up infantry.

Then, the tank continued to move forward, its tracks ran over the barbed wire fence and deer village of the Russian army, crossed their trenches, and entered the Russian army's position.

"Da da da!" The tanks that broke into the Russian army's positions were like tigers breaking into a flock of sheep, slaughtering these Russian soldiers wantonly. Countless Russian soldiers were killed.

A large number of Russian soldiers began to turn around and flee regardless of the chief's obstruction. However, a large part of them were slaughtered by the German machine gun fire.

The infantry following the tanks seized this opportunity and broke through the Russian positions. Started to provide protection for the tanks, and at the same time, with the assistance of the tanks, cleared the remaining Russian enemies on the position.

The German army broke through the Russian defense line outside Lviv with only one round of attack. The Russian army suffered heavy losses, and many people were killed by the German army. There are still many Russian troops who directly raised their hands and surrendered to the German army.

The rest of the Russian army fled back to the city of Lviv.

"Good job! Order the ministries to launch an attack on the city of Lviv. Take Lviv in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Francois ordered.

The advance speed of the German army exceeded his expectations. Of course, this is good news, which means that they can annihilate the Russian army here in the shortest possible time and win this battle.

Tens of thousands of German troops, led by dozens of tanks, divided into four groups and launched an attack on Lviv.

It is impossible for the Russian army, which suffered heavy losses, to resist the German attack. Many Russian soldiers, when they saw the dark tank rushing towards them, threw away their weapons and ran away without even thinking about resisting. They have all been frightened by the German tanks.

Russian 4th Army Command, General Dimitriev is like an ant on a hot pot. The German army is launching a heavy attack on the city defended by his troops. Although, he thought he had done everything he could. However, he was not sure at all whether he could withstand the German attack.

"General, Your Excellency the Commander asked us to hold Lvov. He has ordered the 3rd Caucasus Army to reinforce us." The adjutant reported to Admiral Dimitriev.

"If you stick to it, you have to be able to defend it! The Germans are attacking so violently that our troops can't resist their attack at all. How can we defend?" Admiral Dimitriev said very anger. From the very beginning, when General Ivanov ordered him to hold off the attack of the German Eighth Army, he knew it was a hard job. However, only now did he realize that he still seriously underestimated the difficulty of this task!

"General, the outer defense line has fallen! The Germans have entered the city of Lviv." A staff officer reported to General Dimitriev in panic.

"How is it possible? It's only been two hours since the Germans launched their offensive. Has the outer defense line fallen?" Admiral Dimitriev looked shocked.

"General, the Germans use tanks as the vanguard, and we simply cannot resist the attack of their tanks!" The staff officer explained.

"Bastard! Order the troops in the city to stick to their respective positions. Without my order, you must not retreat!" Admiral Dimitriev ordered.

"Yes, General." The staff officer went to convey the order.

It's just that General Dimitriev's order is useless at all. The German army that invaded the city of Lviv continued to attack fiercely. And the resistance of the Russian army, like paper, was easily broken through by them.

In the case of continuous failures, the Russian army's will to resist is very weak. In many cases, the Russian army ran away as soon as they saw the German tanks coming. Even, many people raised their hands directly to the German tanks.

For the German army, this battle was too easy. The resistance of the Russian army was weak, and it was simply powerless to stop the German army.

At 5:00 p.m., General Dmitriev, the commander of the 4th Front Army of the Russian Army, saw that the situation was over, so he had to lead the remnants to break through and fled in the direction of Stry. And Lvov, the most important supply base of the Russian Southwest Front Army, fell completely and fell into the hands of the German army. At the same time, there were also mountains of supplies that fell into the hands of the German army.
