Chapter 283 Escape for Life

The destruction of the Russian 2nd Guards Army was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Russian 9th Army. Although Admiral Letsky already knew that he could not rescue the 2nd Guards Army. However, he has not yet made up his mind when to retreat.

The German troops stationed in Siedlce, like an iron wall, blocked the northward path of the Russian Ninth Army and blocked it tightly. The powerful firepower made the Russian army helpless, and after attacking rashly, they paid heavy losses. This made Admiral Letsky no longer dare to attack at will.

On the morning of September 14, Admiral Letsky received news of the destruction of the Russian 2nd Guards Army.

"General, the 2nd Guards Army has been wiped out by the Germans, and the entire army has been almost completely wiped out. Admiral Krapovich was also captured by the Germans." A general reported to Admiral Letzsky.

This is a telegram sent by Admiral Krapovich before the messenger was captured. The demise of the 2nd Guards Army was inevitable, but Admiral Krapovich did not want Admiral Letsky to repeat his mistakes. After all, after the 2nd Guards Army was in trouble, the 9th Army did its best to rescue it.

"Damn it! A group army of 200,000 people was eaten by the Germans in just three days. When did the damned Germans become so powerful?" Admiral Rezsky couldn't help scolding road. Although, in the process of fighting against the German 20th Army, he already knew how powerful the German army was. However, he was not as shocked as the destruction of the 2nd Guards Army in such a short period of time.

"General, what should we do now? After the Germans ate up the 2nd Guards Army, the next target must be us."

"Order the troops to retreat immediately. We can no longer stay in the Kingdom of Poland, and return to the Southwest Front Army!" Admiral Letzki immediately issued an order.

With the 2nd Guards Army already wiped out, if the 9th Army remained in the Kingdom of Poland to fight against the Germans, it would be no different from courting death. In order to keep himself and his troops, Admiral Letzsky had to order a retreat. At any rate, there are hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in the Southwest Front Army. If you can join them, your own safety is undoubtedly guaranteed. As for the order of Tsar Nicholas II, it can only be violated. After all, at this time, keeping one's own life and troops is the most important thing. Admiral Letsky also knew that even His Majesty the Tsar would certainly understand him.

Admiral Ivan Jilinski, who was waiting for reinforcements in Warsaw, was selectively ignored by Admiral Letzki. He was already very dissatisfied with Admiral Ivan Jilinsky. If that guy hadn't given orders indiscriminately, they wouldn't have been defeated by the Germans so quickly. It can be said that Admiral Ivan Jilinsky is definitely the chief culprit for the destruction of the 2nd Guards Army and the crisis of the 9th Army.

"Yes, General." The Russian general immediately went to make arrangements.

"Hey! I really don't know if we can win this battle? The Germans are so powerful, it is really unwise to provoke this enemy. Admiral Letsky shook his head.

However, the war has already begun, and it may not be so easy to end it. As soldiers of the Russian Empire, all they can do is to do their best to win the Russian Empire.

The Russian Ninth Army, which suffered heavy losses in Siedlce, immediately began to retreat. It's just that their strength has been weakened a lot compared to when they just entered the Kingdom of Poland. In Siedlce, the Russian Ninth Army lost at least 50,000 people. However, if the remaining hundreds of thousands of people can safely evacuate the Kingdom of Poland and join the Southwest Front Army, Admiral Letzski will be very satisfied. As for the lost troops, it is nothing to Russia at all, and they can replenish them at any time. By the time the Russian mobilization was gradually completed, they were no longer short of men.

Chekhanov, the headquarters of the German 8th Army, is already laughing here.

The Russian 2nd Guards Army was almost wiped out by the German 8th Army. This is undoubtedly a great victory for the entire legion.

"Your Highness, according to our estimates, only 5,000 people from the 2nd Russian Guards Army escaped at most. The rest were either killed or captured by us. Known as the most elite Russian army Half of the guards of the army have been eliminated by us!" Admiral Hindenburg smiled.

At present, the Guards of the Russian Army can be regarded as the most elite unit of the Russian Army. There are only two army groups in total, with more than 400,000 people. But now, a group army was easily eaten by them. It is conceivable what a blow this was to the Russian Army and Tsar Nicholas II.

Qin Tian smiled and nodded: "It would be great if Nicholas II could also send the 1st Guards Army to the front. In this case, we may soon be able to win the victory over Russia. !"

What Qin Tian meant was naturally referring to the Russian cloth party that he secretly supported. If the cloth party can launch an uprising in Russia and plunge Russia into chaos, then Germany may only be one step away from winning this war. After Russia is resolved, the remaining Britain and France will no longer be able to put so much pressure on Germany.

Without having to fight on two fronts, Qin Tian believed that with the strength of Germany in this time and space, the war would definitely be won. After all, although the German Army did not fight smoothly on the Western Front, it still has the initiative in general. Even the Battle of the Marne River launched by Little Moltke now, the German army would not be able to win, and would even suffer heavy losses. But for the powerful German army, this is not a traumatic loss. As long as you prepare again, you can definitely defeat the British and French allied forces.

As for the German navy, it now has an absolute advantage in the Atlantic Ocean. The British were already on the verge of being hanged by the German Navy. As long as the German Navy wins again in the future decisive battle at sea. Then, there is no suspense for Germany to win the final victory of this war.

Therefore, Qin Tian is very optimistic about the future situation.

"Your Highness, the 1st Guards Army is Nicholas II's old base. It is the main force defending the surrounding areas of St. Petersburg. I am afraid he will not dispatch the 1st Guards Army so easily." Major General Ludendorff thought, thinking It is not so easy to mobilize the 1st Guards Army of the Russian Army.
