Chapter 1548： Across the Dnieper (1/2)

Chapter 1548 Crossing the Dnieper River 1

”His Royal Highness, our 7 river-crossing clusters have been deployed on a battle line of more than 300 kilometers. All the troops have been in place and all the equipment has been prepared. The engineering and obstacle-breaking troops can take action at any time to be responsible for suppression. The artillery and aviation departments on the other side of the river are also ready to go.” An officer reported to Prince Leopold.

”Very well, everything went according to the scheduled plan. The assault group No. 3 in the middle launched an attack on the defenders on the opposite shore at six o'clock in the morning, and the rest of the troops delayed their attacks according to the schedule!” Prince Leopold said. Although the Russian army has not recovered after the Polish pocket battle, although there are already signs that the Russians have drawn away a considerable part of the northern line to strengthen the male line. But Prince Leopold still did not relax his vigilance.

The No. 3 assault group on the center line was a ferry that was attacked by the Russian army. This is the place with the best landing conditions. The colleagues are also the meeting points of the traffic lines on the east bank. The Germans know it, and the Russians naturally know it. So, although The troops on the northern front were weakened, but the Russians still deployed a strong force here. There is a whole division on the opposite side, with a relatively complete line of defense and semi-permanent fortifications. Plus additional artillery.

The other important reason why the prince would act here is that he intends to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, to see how the Russians will mobilize after Germany launches a large-scale offensive, and how many troops can be used in this area. Don’t forget. In the air at this time, more than one hundred reconnaissance planes and airships of various kinds have been spinning above the Russians, and every move of the Russians will be detected.

After the Russians move, the German army can hunt more conveniently. In fact, it is not difficult to cross the river. After crossing the river, the Russian army near the river is swept away in a short time. The key is to build more bridgeheads!

”The Russians are naive to want to block us through which reinforced concrete tortoise shells.” Looking at the rounded bunkers and gun nests on the other side of the river. Colonel Carl, who was in charge of this ”fixed-point removal” task, couldn't help showing a trace of contempt.

I have to say that the Russian bunker is still very well repaired. The front of the core bunker is about 1.5 meters of concrete and rammed earth as a protective layer, and the top is about 0.8 meters of roof. The bunkers cover each other, equipped with 3-inch rapid-fire guns, and even a small number of 107MM cannons, which are connected with machine gun bunker, barbed wire, trenches, minefields, etc. In order to avoid the opponent's artillery attack, the Russians also built an anti-slant position based on the terrain. How can I say that, at first glance, the Russians still learned the same thing.

”It looks like it's been repaired well, but they are all paper tigers.” Colonel Carl finally observed the situation on the opposite side with this, then put down the telescope and said.

”They repaired it very carefully and made it very strong,” said a colleague next to it.

”But it will eventually be broken by us, because there is no unbreakable line of defense in this world. Constantinople, which stood on the northern side of the Dardanelles for hundreds of years, was not in the Turkish Sudan in the end. Occupied under the attack of land and sea?”
