Jagged Germany

   "Quick! Quick! Enter the position!" The Russian officers who received the order began to organize troops to enter the position, preparing to defend against the German attack. Unfortunately, however, the German attack was too sudden. Under the violent shelling of the German army, the Russian army not only suffered a lot of casualties, but the entire army was already in chaos.

  A large number of Russian soldiers ran around like headless flies, looking for hiding places. Those officers couldn't find their own soldiers at all, let alone organize troops for defense.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The shelling of the German army also continued, and the sound of explosions came and went in the city of Lviv. Although Lviv is a relatively large city, its resident population is only over 100,000. When this place became the most important material distribution center for the Russian Southwest Front Army, the residents living here were forcibly moved out of here. The people stationed in the city are all Russian troops.

   "Boom!" Several shells fell on a street one after another, and a row of Russian troops passing through the street caused a catastrophe. Countless Russian soldiers were torn to pieces by shells. The entire street was full of broken limbs and broken arms. The scene was very terrifying, as if it was a Shura hell.

  A 150mm shell hit a six-story building. A huge hole appeared on the building. Although, this shell failed to blow up the building directly. However, it made the whole building feel crumbling, as if it would collapse at any moment. The shattered masonry hit the street below, causing many Russian soldiers who passed by to be smashed to the ground.

  A large number of buildings were reduced to ruins under the heavy shelling of the German army. The whole city seemed to be turning into ruins.

  The defense line of the Russian army outside the city is also the focus of the German attack. Those 75mm field guns, because of their relatively insufficient power and relatively short range, focused on attacking the Russian defense line outside Lviv.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The artillery shells hit the Russian army's positions like raindrops, destroying the fortifications they built bit by bit.

  The fortifications of the Russian army are still so fragile. Even a 75mm field gun can easily destroy it. Whether it was trenches or firepower points, they were all destroyed under the shelling of the German army. This also made the Russian army's defense line quickly become dilapidated. Of course, the reason for this is that apart from the fact that the Russian army was stealing and playing tricks when building positions, the more important reason is that the Russian army lacks materials for building positions, such as steel bars and cement, and can only use local materials. , built with soil and wood, at most adding a little stone to build it. Naturally, such a fortification cannot be expected to have such a strong defense.

   Driven by the officers, the Russian soldiers who entered the line of defense naturally could not escape the baptism of the fierce German artillery fire. The dense shells falling down often take the lives of a large number of Russian soldiers.

   Except, no one cares about their lives. The Germans didn't care, they wanted to kill all the Russian troops stationed in Lviv. The Russian army itself doesn't care either. In the eyes of those Russian generals and officers, these soldiers are just tools for consumption. They are simply cannon fodder, no one will care about them.

  While the bombardment by the German army continued, the fighter planes of the 8th Air Force also arrived as promised. Hundreds of bombers bombed the Russian defense line. Although these bombers carry only 25 kg small bombs, even such bombs still have a devastating ability to strike the Russian defense line. For those fragile human bodies, it goes without saying.

  Each bomber can carry bombs weighing up to 500 kilograms. In this case, each aircraft can carry 20 bombs. These bombs fell, and the Russian defense line was completely shrouded in smoke and flames. Countless Russian soldiers were killed in the bombing of these bombers. The defense line of the Russian army was also destroyed during the bombing.

"Oh, God!"

   Some Russian generals who were hiding in a safe place to observe were all stunned by the German attack methods. After fighting for so many years, it was undoubtedly the first time they had seen such a scene.

   "Damn it! The firepower of the Germans is too strong, right? How can our defense line be able to withstand it like this!" The generals of the Russian army couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"If you can't defend it, you have to defend it! Lviv is too important to us. The combat materials stored here are related to the life and death of the entire Southwest Front Army, and they must not be captured by the Germans. The general has issued a death order. Let us have to resist the German attack." A lieutenant general said. He is Lieutenant General Sheremetev, commander of the 34th Infantry Corps of the Russian Army.

   "Order the troops and prepare to enter the position. Once the German attack begins, prepare to resist them!" Lieutenant General Sheremetev ordered.

   "Yes, General." The other Russian generals replied one after another. However, it can be clearly seen from their faces how unconfident they are.

  Especially those generals of the 22nd Infantry Army of the Russian Army who had fled back, they were even more timid. Outside the city of Chelm, they had experienced the attack of the German army. The kind of overwhelming attack led by armored forces is simply too terrifying.

  Even if it sounds now, I still have lingering fears. Not to mention that they will soon face the German attack again, which makes them feel even more frightened. If Admiral Dimitriev hadn't given the order to die, they probably couldn't help turning around and running away again.

  Story, the headquarters of the Russian Southwest Front Army. Admiral Ivanov was awakened from his sleep. Last night, he fell asleep very late. So, I want to get out of bed this morning. As a result, the hasty knock on the door woke him up, which immediately made Admiral Ivanov feel very bad.

   "What happened?" Admiral Ivanov opened the door and asked impatiently.

   "General, something is wrong. Lviv is under heavy attack from the Germans. General Dimitriev, request reinforcements," the adjutant reported.

   "What? Lviv is under attack, how is that possible?" Admiral Ivanov's face suddenly changed. On the one hand, he couldn't believe such a fact. On the other hand, he was unwilling to believe this fact.

  The importance of Lviv is self-evident. If Lvov is captured by the German army, it will be a fatal blow to the Russian Southwest Front.

   "Send a telegram to Dimitriev, Lvov must be defended, and it must not fall into the hands of the Germans!" Admiral Ivanov roared.
