More than a hundred black tanks shone with icy light under the rising sun, looking chilly.

  The German 20th Army, which had already been prepared, began to detour, preparing to go around behind the Russian army and block their retreat. Their task is to stop the Russian army as much as possible to ensure the result of this time.

   Lieutenant General Francois and Lieutenant General Mackensen both believed that it was impossible for the Russian army to withstand the attack of the 8th Armored Division. Once the Russian army is defeated, they will inevitably flee in all directions. At that time, it will be impossible to expand the results of the battle. Therefore, the actions of the 20th Army this time are directly related to how great their results are this time.

  Following behind the 8th Armored Division was an infantry division drawn from the 11th Army. Their task is to expand the results of the battle and wipe out the remnants of the enemy after the 8th Armored Division broke through the Russian defense line.

  The operation of the 8th Armored Division can be described as the first offensive of the armored forces in the world. The 8th Army attaches great importance to it. Qin Tian, ​​General Hindenburg, Major General Ludendorff and others all rushed from Königsberg to Tannenberg to watch the battle. Although, the front line is dangerous. But when the German army is ready to counterattack, the risk factor has been minimized.

   "It's really spectacular! There are so many tanks attacking together, no line of defense can stop it!" Admiral Hindenburg sighed.

  At first, he thought that it was a waste of money for Qin Tian to set up an armored division. After all, the cost of forming an armored division is enough to form five infantry divisions. However, after witnessing the charge of the armored troops with his own eyes, he was left with incomparable admiration for Qin Tian's decision.

   "Your Highness, will armored units become the protagonists of the battlefield in the future?" Major General Ludendorff asked. He is keenly aware that armored forces will play an extremely important role in future wars.

   "The armored force will indeed play a very important role in future wars. However, calling it the protagonist is a bit too much. In the future, the air supremacy will become the protagonist." Qin Tian said.

  Although, the 8th Army formed its own air force and developed it. However, when dealing with the Russian army, it seems that it is still somewhat useless. The Russians don't have a decent aviation force at all, so the air force of the 8th Army is mostly responsible for reconnaissance missions. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the war has just begun, and all countries have not yet paid attention to the performance of aircraft.

   "Aviation team?" Admiral Hindenburg and Major General Ludendorff couldn't believe it. Although, they have already seen the power of the plane. However, it is unlikely that the aircraft will replace the army and become the protagonist.

  However, their trust in Qin Tian made them not raise any doubts in their hearts. Those things that happened before have already proved that Qin Tian's correct foresight in the process of army development.

  Qin Tian didn't explain too much. After all, the current technical conditions are still too poor, and there is still a long way to go to reach the level of future generations. Although the importance of air supremacy has become more and more prominent, the Air Force has to develop slowly if it wants to become the protagonist.

  On the ground, the attack of the armored forces has already begun. The attack of hundreds of black tanks directly scared the Russian soldiers. They are originally farmers with little culture, and it is understandable that they will be afraid of the unknown.

   "My God! What's that?"

   "Is that the devil? The Germans have the devil's weapon, no wonder we can't beat them!"

  Some Russian soldiers have already fled in all directions in fright. Even the officers tried their best to stop it, but it was useless. Escape has become the only goal of those Russian soldiers. Even those officers were also frightened, and many of them were already trembling.

   "Boom!"

  A tank opened fire, and the 37mm artillery shells flew into the queue of the Russian army, and several Russian soldiers were immediately blown away.

   "Boom!"

  A shell hit a machine gun fire point of the Russian army, and immediately blew up the machine gun fire point to the sky. The Russian machine gunner was also killed.

   "God! How did the Germans invent such a terrifying weapon?" A Russian officer turned pale and fled. However, before he could escape a few steps, he was hit by a bullet flying from behind.

   "Da da da!" This is a tank that started to fire. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun is so powerful that it can easily split a human body in two with a single bullet. Once hit, they are basically killed without injury.

   "God! Run away! The Germans are too strong, we can't stop them at all."

   Panic spread among the Russian army. Facing the menacing German tanks, they chose to flee, and they didn't have the courage to continue fighting.

   Of course, the Russian army is not all cowards, there are still brave people.

   "Damn Germans, even if you have the devil's weapon, go to hell!" A Russian company commander personally manipulated a Maxim heavy machine gun and opened fire on a German tank.

"Da da da!"

  The dense bullets hit the tank, but they were all bounced off, at most it just knocked off a little paint. The armor of the tank, though not too thick, cannot directly protect against howitzers. However, there is still no problem with hard-resistant howitzer fragments, let alone machine gun bullets.

   "How could this be? The devil, the Germans really have the devil's weapons!" The Russian company commander lost his mind.

  However, the tank had spotted the guy who dared to provoke him, and the turret slowly turned, aiming at the heavy machine gun and the Russian company commander.

  The Russian company commander was keenly aware of the crisis and wanted to escape. However, it was too late.

   "Boom!"

  The tank opened fire, and a shell hit the target in the blink of an eye, blowing the tank into parts, and the Russian company commander was directly torn to pieces.

  Under the attack of the German tanks, the Russian army on the ground collapsed directly. They didn't have the courage to intercept it, because they knew that it would be futile.

   Tanks one after another rushed to the Russian position. Some Russian soldiers who had no time to escape were directly run over by these tanks, leaving a ground of broken meat. Even the tank's tracks were mixed with a lot of minced meat, which looked very bloody.

"God! This battle is too easy. Are we here to fight or go on an outing. However, those tank soldiers are too bloody. They tear those Russians to pieces at every turn, or directly crush them It turned into a meat paste. Anyway, I don’t want to eat beef for today’s lunch.” A German infantryman complained.
