    The German Army¡¯s Panzer IV tank is quite powerful, but it can¡¯t be compared with the Chinese Army¡¯s ¡®Leopard¡¯ tank!  The infantry units of the Chinese Army are also equipped with 75mm anti-tank guns, which can also pose a fatal threat to the German Army's Panzer IV tanks!

    The German-Russian coalition attempted to pass through the frozen Volga River and launch an attack on the Chinese Army positions on the east bank of the river.  However, their attack was very unsuccessful!  The fierce counterattack of the Chinese Army caused heavy losses to the German and Russian coalition forces!  Under the attack direction of the Chinese Army's tanks and anti-tank guns, the German tanks were hit one after another, and then burst into flames.  Once the cover of the tank was lost, the ordinary soldiers behind became the targets of the secret firepower!

    The fortifications built by the Chinese Army on the east bank of the Volga River consist of artillery positions, anti-tank firepower points and heavy machine gun firepower points!  Coupled with the light machine guns assigned to the squad level, this makes the Chinese Army's firepower very powerful!  Without any cover, facing the intensive firepower of the Chinese Army, the German and Russian forces suffered heavy losses!

    The real damage done to the German-Russian coalition forces was from the fighter planes in the air!  The 500 kilogram aerial bomb carried by the h9c 'Canghu' dive bomber can easily blast a huge hole in the ice.  Regardless of whether it is a person or a tank or armored vehicle, once it falls into a hole, there is basically no possibility of survival.  In such a cold winter.  Once transferred to the ice cave.  People will be instantly frozen.  Then freeze to death!  The Q5 "Night Owl" attack aircraft used the bombs it carried to bomb the dense crowds, then used aviation cannons to destroy German tanks and armored vehicles, and then used aviation machine gun bullets to shoot at the soldiers of the German and Russian coalition forces!  The 12.7 mm large-caliber aviation machine gun is very powerful. Once the human body is hit, the whole person will be shot in two!  Each Q5 'Night Owl' attack aircraft is equipped with 4 large-caliber aviation machine guns, and the firepower is quite abnormal!  Often when an attack is launched, a long line of corpses will be left on the ice!

    Although the attack on this day was regarded as.  Both the German and Russian armies invested a large number of troops, but in the face of the Chinese Army's solid defense line and the support of air firepower, the German and Russian armies' attacks ended in failure.  The bodies of the fallen soldiers were left on the ice, frozen into ice sculptures.  Although the blood that flowed out has turned black, it is still frozen!

    German commander Marshal Hindenburg was very dissatisfied with this failure!  At his request, the German frontline staff quickly revised the combat plan!  General Ludendorff, the German frontline chief of staff, pointed out that if the attack were to occur during the day, China would have air force support.  And the German Air Force and Army Aviation were unable to control the air!  Launching an attack under such circumstances is no different from seeking death!  therefore.  Admiral Ludendorff proposed changing the time of the attack from day to night!  If this is the case, the aircraft of the Chinese ** team will not be able to refer to it, and the pressure faced by the German and Russian coalition forces will be much less!

    Field Marshal Hindenburg adopted Admiral Ludendorff's suggestion.  On the evening of February 14th, the German and Russian forces once again dispatched troops and launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the Chinese Army on the east bank of the river!  In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, the German-Russian coalition did not prepare artillery fire before the attack, nor did they invest armored units. All those participating in the attack were pure infantry units!

    It¡¯s just that these German-Russian forces were discovered as they crossed the center of the Volga River during their attack!  A large number of lights were launched into the sky, and the figures of the German and Russian allied soldiers on the ice were all revealed!  In an instant, the Chinese Army's artillery fired fiercely at the attacking German and Russian soldiers!  Dense artillery shells fell on the ice. Even though the ice was more than one meter thick, large areas of the ice collapsed. Countless German and Russian soldiers fell into the icy cold river!  Not to mention continuing to fight, it would be great to be able to save your life!

    The small-caliber artillery and light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese Army deployed on the shore also joined in the shooting. The attacking German and Russian soldiers, under the intensive firepower, could only lie tightly on the ice, even their heads.  He couldn't even lift it, let alone continue the attack!

    The German artillery also quickly started shelling!  However, at night, even the well-trained German artillery cannot guarantee the accuracy of artillery fire, and it is difficult to suppress the Chinese Army's artillery!  The Chinese soldiers on the defense line mostly hid in the fortifications and shot. The German shelling would not cause much harm to them!

    Although the firepower of the Chinese Army was very fierce, many German and Russian soldiers still rushed across the Volga River and attacked the east bank of the river!  However, for them, this does not mean they have reached heaven, but that they have reached hell!  The armored troops of the Chinese Army, which had been waiting on the shore for a long time, began to attack!  The lights of tanks and armored vehicles were turned on, pointing the Volga eastward.The river beach was illuminated brightly, tanks, guns and machine guns opened fire one after another. The German and Russian soldiers who finally reached the east bank of the Volga River fell to the ground one by one like wheat!

    At this time, the soldiers of the German-Russian Allied Forces inevitably collapsed!  A large number of soldiers ran toward the west in embarrassment, but the speed of people was comparable to tanks and armored vehicles!  Although the ice is slippery, the tracks of tanks and armored vehicles ensure that they can move freely on the ice!  Those German-Russian allied forces who fled in embarrassment suffered heavy losses when they were pursued by the armored units of the Chinese Army!

    The attack launched by the German and Russian coalition forces at night still failed to be effective, but still suffered heavy losses!  This put the German-Russian coalition's attack into trouble!  Their strength is 7 times that of the Chinese defenders, but the Chinese defenders have strong fortifications and superior weapons and equipment. This makes the German-Russian coalition unable to break through the Chinese Army's positions even if they pay heavy casualties!

    During the Battle of the Volga River, the Chinese Army also invested in a new type of incendiary bomb!  This kind of artillery shell, which is a mixture of petroleum, rubber and magnesium powder, once exploded, is enough to ignite everything within a radius of ten meters.  The high temperature generated can quickly melt ice and snow. Even the frozen Volga River ice cannot withstand it for long!  After the hard ice surface is softened, not only tanks and armored vehicles, but even people can't pass through!  Under such circumstances, it became even more impossible for the German and Russian coalition forces to break through the Chinese Army's defense line on the east bank of the Volga River!

    The fierce battle continued. Although the German and Russian allied forces suffered heavy losses, the losses of the Chinese defenders were also not small!  Compared with the German and Russian allied forces, the advantage in military strength is too great!  However, with the arrival of the two subsequent armies, the Chinese Army's strength on the Volga River defense line reached 1.1 million. Although this strength is still not as good as that of the German and Russian coalition forces, relying on the solid defense line, it is completely  Can withstand the attack of the German and Russian forces!

    At the same time, 12 cavalry brigades composed of nomadic cavalry from the five ethnic groups in Central Asia also crossed the Volga River and entered Russia to attack the logistics supply line of the German-Russian coalition!  To maintain the fighting and living needs of more than 4 million people in the country, this made the logistics supply line of the German-Russian coalition very fragile.  After being attacked by the cavalry troops of the five Central Asian tribes, the supplies of the frontline troops of the German and Russian coalition forces could not be guaranteed, which greatly reduced their combat effectiveness!  Although the German cavalry and German Cossack cavalry encircled and suppressed the cavalry of the five Central Asian ethnic groups, the safety of the logistics supply line could not be guaranteed!  In addition, the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes also caused great harm to ordinary Russians when they were in action!  These people originally committed all kinds of crimes by burning, killing, looting, and everywhere they went, ordinary Russian people committed major crimes!  In war, the lives of ordinary people are undoubtedly the most despicable!

    The German and Russian coalition forces have been unable to break through the Chinese Army's Volga River defense line, making the German army's strategy of driving the Chinese Army back to Asia impossible to complete!  This also means that the counterattack that the German army has been preparing for a long time has completely failed!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II was furious, and Field Marshal Falkenhayn, the German War Minister and Chief of the General Staff, was directly dismissed from his post, and Field Marshal Carl von B¨¹low became the German War Minister and Chief of the General Staff.  However, even if the new Minister of War and Chief of General Staff were replaced, the situation on the front line could not be changed!  As the weather gradually warmed up, the Volga River began to thaw, and the German and Russian forces had to slowly stop their attack and began to switch from offense to defense!

    The senior generals of the German army also know very well that if they fail to break through the Volga River defense line before the Volga River thaws, then they will never have a chance again!  Next, it will soon be the turn of the Chinese ** team to counterattack!  When the time comes, they will face the fierce counterattack of the Chinese team!

    For the Chinese Army, after withstanding this attack by the German and Russian coalition forces, they have enough time to transport troops and combat supplies to the front line!  To counterattack the German-Russian coalition forces, the Chinese Army would have to invest at least millions of men!  During a fierce battle, the troops consume an astronomical amount of supplies!  If sufficient combat supplies cannot be stored before the counterattack begins, it will also greatly hinder the counterattack!  Fortunately, after the Volga River thawed, the German and Russian forces could no longer launch a large-scale counterattack. The Chinese Army had enough time to prepare!

    However, while the Chinese Army was preparing for a counterattack, the Chinese Army's attacks in other directions did not stop!  The Air Force is still carrying out strategic bombing against Germany, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger!  And other ways are also working hard!  For example, the Chinese government is preparing to cut off Germany's oil supply!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
