Chapter 271 Standing firm and waiting for help (seeking monthly ticket)

On September 11, the 2nd Russian Guards Army arrived at Rustrow.

At the same time, the German 8th Army had already arrived at the scheduled attack position. The 11th Army appeared to the west of Rustrow, and the 8th Armored Division also set up a formation in front of the Russian 2nd Guards Army.

As soon as the Russian 2nd Guards Army arrived in Rustrow, something was wrong. This situation was immediately reported to General Krapovich, commander of the 2nd Russian Guards Army.

"General, a large number of Germans have been found in Rustrow. They are in our way." A general reported to Admiral Krapovich. His face was full of horror. Along the way, no German troops were encountered. And now that the German army has appeared in front of them, what this means will undoubtedly be very clear.

"Damn! Are the Germans going to target us?" Admiral Krapovich thought of this almost immediately.

No wonder the Germans had been silent before, they were here waiting for them. General Krapovich has long known that the Germans are not so easy to deal with. So after entering the territory of the Kingdom of Poland, we have always been cautious. But unexpectedly, that idiot Ivan Jilinski actually forced him to rush to Warsaw. Well now, it finally hit the muzzle of the Germans.

General Krapovich has no doubt that the German army is ready for all battles, just waiting for them to hit it by themselves.

"General, what should we do now? Should we retreat immediately?" A general suggested. After all, according to the information they learned, the combat effectiveness of the German army is very strong. Although the 2nd Guards Army has more than 200,000 elite troops. But if you fight against the German army, I am afraid it is very difficult to have a chance of winning.

"Retreat? How is that possible? We are the most elite troops of the Russian Imperial Army. If we retreat like this, His Majesty the Tsar will not spare us. What's more, Ivan Jilinsky, I am afraid that he has been waiting for such a long time ago. This is my chance." Another general retorted.

Admiral Krapovich nodded, indeed he couldn't just retreat like this. Admiral Ivan Jilinsky has long been eager to put the shit bowl on their heads. If they retreat now, it is undoubtedly that they have taken the initiative to hand over the handle to Ivan Jilinski. Admiral Krapovic could even predict that Ivan Jilinski would shout excitedly, and then complain to Tsar Nicholas II that the fall of Warsaw and even the whole of Poland was entirely because of the guards The reason why the 2nd Army did not cooperate. At that time, General Krapovich may not be able to eat and walk away. He would never do such a thing.

"General, I'm afraid we can't retreat even if we want to retreat now. A German army has appeared to the east of us." A colonel officer reported to General Krapovich.

"Hiss!" Immediately, all the generals of the Russian army gasped. Because they discovered that the tactics of the German army were all about eating up the entire 2nd Russian Guards Army! Their group army has more than 200,000 people. No matter how powerful the German army is, it is impossible to easily eat them, right? What's more, there is also the 9th Russian Army, which is close at hand.

"Damn the Germans, aren't they too arrogant? Can they still resist the attack of the 9th Army while eating us? Aren't they afraid of being attacked by the enemy?" A Russian general cursed.

"Maybe the Germans really planned that. Don't forget, this is how the Northwest Front failed in East Prussia before. While encircling and annihilating the 2nd Army, they also contained the 1st Army."

"Hmph! This time is different. Our 2nd Guards Army is an elite force. In addition, the distance between us and the 9th Army is not far. If the 9th Army comes to rescue us, it will only take two days We can get there.”

The generals of the 2nd Russian Guards Army were arguing together.

However, Admiral Krapovich's face was gloomy and scary.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Order the troops, set up defenses on the spot, strengthen the defense as much as possible, and prepare for a hard fight with the Germans. In addition, send a telegram to the 9th Army and tell General Rezsky that we may fall behind." I fell into the trap of the Germans. Now, the 2nd Guards Army is about to be besieged by the Germans, and I ask him to rescue us with all my strength. Otherwise, the 2nd Guards Army will be in danger. If we are eaten by the Germans , the Ninth Army will definitely not be able to withstand the German attack." General Krapovich said.

In order to prevent the 9th Army from being helpless, General Krapovich made it clear that if the 2nd Guards Army is destroyed, the 9th Army will not end well.

Although, General Klapovich and General Letzsky had previously targeted General Ivan Jilinsky. However, he couldn't guarantee that General Retzky would not just die.

"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.

Under the threat of the German army, the entire 2nd Russian Guards Army immediately acted. Under the urging of the officers, a large number of Russian soldiers began to dig trenches and build defensive positions. Because there is a plain nearby, it basically belongs to the area where there is no danger to defend. Therefore, the Russian army can only strengthen its defense by digging trenches. As for whether they can withstand the German attack, they can only pray to God.

After the 9th Army of the Russian Army learned of what happened to the 2nd Guards Army, it immediately stopped its operations. Admiral Letsky even sent troops to search the nearby area to prevent them from falling into the trap of the German army.

Fortunately, there were no German troops around them, which made Admiral Retzky heave a sigh of relief.

Of course, Admiral Letsky can also be sure that if the Russian 9th Army is going to rescue the 2nd Guards Army, it will inevitably be blocked by the German army. There is hardly any doubt about it. Since the German army intends to attack the 2nd Guards Army, it will definitely do its best to achieve this goal. For the Russian Ninth Army, it must have been prepared for a long time.

However, it was obviously impossible for Admiral Letzsky not to rescue the 2nd Guards Army. As Admiral Krapovich said, once the 2nd Guards Army had been eaten, it was their turn.

Admiral Letzsky was not confident, and he defeated the German army with the 9th Army alone.
