Jagged Germany

Chapter 287: There is no way to escape (ask for a monthly ticket)

"General, if it's not possible, let's go day and night! The German planes can only be dispatched during the day, and at night, there is nothing we can do about it. We can march at night, and let the troops hide in the woods during the day. In this way If so, it can effectively reduce the loss of troops." A major general and division commander suggested.

?? "This is a good way. It is impossible for German planes to be dispatched at night." Someone immediately echoed.

"However, if we march at night, the speed will be seriously affected. The Germans are now chasing us. If our retreat speed is slow, we may be caught up by the Germans soon." Some generals I'm a little worried.

"That's better than being attacked by German planes during the day. This afternoon, the troops didn't walk ten kilometers in the whole afternoon. According to this calculation, I'm afraid it's not as much as one night. Besides, the Germans keep dispatching Airplanes attacking us would be a devastating blow to our morale."

?? Admiral Letzsky frowned, listening to the opinions of his subordinates. What everyone said is very reasonable. Next, it depends on how he, the commander, should choose.

?? "Tonight, drive through the night. Let the ministries do a good job of organizing to prevent the soldiers from falling behind. Tomorrow, within an hour of dawn, complete the concealment. After the sun goes down, continue on the road!" Admiral Letsky made a choice. In the end, he chose to travel by day and night. Avoid direct attack by German aircraft.

?? This is really because the attack power of the German planes is so terrifying that it frightened Letsky. Five thousand people were lost in one afternoon. If they were also attacked in the morning, wouldn't it be tens of thousands of people lost in one day? The entire Ninth Army will collapse if it can't last for a few days. Admiral Letzsky did not dare to take such a risk. As for the speed of marching at night will be affected, it can only be compensated by increasing the speed as much as possible. This is already the safest way that Admiral Letsky can think of.

??That night, the Russian 9th Army did not rest, but continued on its way. This made the Russian soldiers who were already frightened during the day very tired. However, under the persuasion of the officer and the threat of the whip, the Russian soldiers had no choice but to hurry on their way. Of course, fear of being attacked by German planes again during the day tomorrow is also a major reason. In the afternoon, the attack of German planes frightened them. They don't want to be torn to pieces by German planes like those unlucky comrades in arms.

?? Throughout the night, the Russian army was on their way. By the time the sun rose the next day, everyone was exhausted.

?? Admiral Letzsky ordered that all ministries find places to hide to avoid German air strikes.

??A large number of Russian troops immediately disappeared from the road without a trace, hid in the woods and valleys, concealed their own people as much as possible, and avoided their indiscriminate bombing once discovered by the Germans.

??The next day, the fighter planes of the German 8th Air Force continued to take off, searching southward along the road like yesterday, looking for traces of the Russian army. These planes are all equipped with aviation machine gun bullets and bombs. Once they find the Russian army, they will inevitably set off another **** storm.

?? However, what puzzled these pilots was that they searched all the way, but found no trace of the Russian army.

?? "What's going on? Where did the Russians go? Why can't they be found?"

?? "Could it be that those Russians can fly? They went to places beyond our range overnight?"

?? Brigadier General Corey, the commander of the 8th Air Force, was also very surprised when he learned of this situation. Originally, he was still complacent about the results he achieved yesterday, wishing that he could achieve even greater results in today's actions. However, all the Russians disappeared, which made him dumbfounded all of a sudden. If the Russians can't be found, not only will the military exploits they have obtained slip away like this, but it will also make them unable to complete the tasks assigned by Qin Tian. This is a big problem!

"Contact the pilots in front and search with all your strength. I don't believe that the Russians ran away overnight. It's impossible. They must be hiding in some hidden places to avoid being hit by our fighter planes." Corey The brigadier said through gritted teeth.

?? "Yes, General." The adjutant immediately went to give the order.

??The pilots of the German army searched everywhere for traces of the Russian army. Knowing that the fuel was not enough, I returned. They have no choice. If they don't return, the fuel will not be enough to support them to return to the airport safely. In the end, there is only one way to crash.

??Watching the German planes constantly flying overhead, the Russian soldiers hid in the woods one by one, not even daring to breathe out, for fear of disturbing the planes in the sky.

?? For this reason, the Russian army did not dare to light a fire, and could only eat dark bread in cold water. Such conditions are naturally very bad.

??Don't dare, even so, it is not so easy to hide hundreds of thousands of people, and there are still many Russian soldiers exposed. What awaited them was the strafing of fighter jets and the bombing of bombers by the German Air Force.

??The fighter jets were over the woods, firing wildly. Although most of the bullets hit the trees, they still achieved some results. The bombing of the bomber, also because of the obstruction of the trees, had little effect. Of course, it still caused certain casualties to the Russian army more or less.

??The Russian army adopted such a marching method, which of course made the 8th Air Force lose the target of the attack, and the results of the battle could not be further expanded. However, after Qin Tian learned about it, he was not too worried. He ordered the troops of the German 8th Army to continue to pursue the Russian army. Since the Russian army wanted to move day and night and slow down their retreat, it was exactly as the 8th Army wished.

?? While the retreat speed of the Russian army is decreasing, the pursuit speed of the 8th Army is increasing. A large number of trucks were dispatched from the rear to transport a large number of personnel and equipment to the southern part of the Kingdom of Poland, preparing to borrow the retreat of the Russian Ninth Army.

?? Four car wheels, the speed is undoubtedly much faster than two legs. If the Russian Cossack cavalry and infantry were scattered, they might not be able to stop them. However, the cavalry and infantry of the Russian army were on their way together, and that was undoubtedly their own death.

??On September 16, the 8th Armored Division of the German 8th Army and an infantry division of the 11th Army seized Pulawi and blocked the road from which the Russian army could not escape.
