Chapter 1051: Ready to fight back
Chapter 1051
"Tell the person in charge of the Air Force again that their performance this time is very bad. We have invested more aircraft than the Russians, but we have not achieved the desired results. The Ilya bomber may be indeed good, but this cannot be a mission. The reason for this success is that before we officially launch a counterattack, I hope the Air Force will drive the Russians out of the battlefield!"
It’s not that the Russians’ ground attacks have been more vigorous, but because aerial reconnaissance itself has a very large impact on the battle situation. Sometimes throwing a few tons of bombs is far less than finding a gap on a certain front. . The prince still plans to fight a siege and annihilation battle this time, not a rout battle. Otherwise, how can he wait until now? After all, the opponent is also a group army, it is easy to defeat it, and it is more difficult to encircle and annihilate it. In addition to speed, it is also very important to cut the opponent's eyes. Playing LOL without staring in has already lost half of it!
"The left-wing enemy can be placed on the front line of the Carpathian Mountains. The remaining troops that are still on the front line and have not entered the fortification area can withdraw if conditions permit. My direct troops begin to shrink. Tell Caliput, at most. 5 days! I asked his 7 divisions to enter the attacking position! I will not give him extra troops, let him take care of the flanks. After the war, I asked his troops to outflank the Russian rear at all costs , And strive to form an encirclement with the defenders of the Lviv region as soon as possible!"
"But this seems to be in conflict with the previous plan. You plan to keep the Rapid Forces to deal with Romania." The staff member thought for a while and said.
"We can completely turn to the southern front after we kill the opponent on the left. The Romanian army is very weak, and it doesn't matter if the army is weak." The prince said embarrassedly. The Russians made a lot of mistakes, and the prince actually made mistakes on his side, that is, there were some deviations in the estimation of the battlefield situation, a bit underestimated the Russians, the original preparations for simultaneous two-line combat seemed not enough, and It may be too late to continue to mobilize the Bavarian Army. Moreover, facing the five Russian army groups in the front, the Bavarian-Bohemian Army did not dare to deploy any more troops.
"His Royal Highness, the telegram from General Mackenson is here." Just as the prince deployed to fight back, a telegram from East Prussia was like dropping a stone on the surging water surface of an undercurrent!
"Mackenson, why did I forget him? He still has a multi-army force!" The prince suddenly remembered that he is now not just the commander of the Bavarian-Bohemian Army, but also the German Eastern Front. Commander-in-chief, in East Prussia, Mackensen still has a complete group army that has not been used so far, about 300,000 people! (Including the fortress garrison troops that are not assigned to the field troops, etc.) It is a crime for such a unit to do nothing without doing anything!
Your Royal Highness, in this life-and-death war, no one should stand by. After two months of preparation, more than half of the troops in my 8th Army have been transformed into organizational units. If necessary If you do, we can help you at any time. At present, our troops can be deployed immediately including 2 Bavarian breakthrough divisions, 3 Bavarian rapid divisions and 2 ordinary divisions. If these troops pass through the north-south rail network, they can reach the Lviv theater within a week. All the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Army and I are looking forward to your call. -Mackenson
"It turns out that I have finished the dress-up, and I am ready to go out and practice my hands." The prince said with a smile. As one of the rewards for winning the Thunder-Surbrus battle, Bavaria’s weapons and equipment were able to move further to other German Army Corps. Up to now, 30% of all German Army and Air Force equipment are provided by the Kingdom of Bavaria. As for the Eastern Front, the Mackensen Army had to be fully equipped with Bavarian equipment and moved closer to the Prince's troops in terms of organization and system. The Bavarian division here does not mean that it belongs to the Kingdom of Bavaria, nor does it mean that it is composed of Bavarians, but because of their organization and equipment!
Overall, the state of the Mackensen Army is almost the best in the entire German Army. From the beginning of the war to the present, which army has not fought a tough battle? Who didn't knock off a few front teeth by the opponent? The Bavarian Legion happily beat the Russians on the Eastern Front, not counting, but they also ran to the Western Front and smashed with the French! However, as for the Mackensen Army, except when it started to block the two Russian armies on the eastern front, it was a bit troublesome. At other times, it really didn't fight any tough battles, and then? Unlike the Bavarian Army, which runs back and forth between the east and west lines, the Mackensen Army began to change its outfit, and it was unable to attack during the change... Ever since, the current Mackensen Army has become hungry in the best state of the entire German Army!
"In this case, I think we have solved most of the trouble! With the force of the 7 divisions of General Mackensen, our reserve force is enough! Not only can we kill the Russian army in the direction of Przemysl, we can also take Romania The legion fights against each other, and even the Russian Eighth Army in the direction of Lviv can do it!" After receiving this news, the prince's ambition immediately swelled!
As for the fact that Mackensen’s regiment will not arrive on the battlefield until a week later? This is okay. The role of the Mackensen Army is to supplement the stamina of the Allied forces. It is equivalent to the second echelon in the later Russian deep offensive. The initial breakthrough can be handed over to the current Bavarian Army. Wait until the prince’s troops are exhausted. , And then replaced by Mackensen's troops.
"Very good! Just follow what Mackensen said~www.wuxiaspot.com~ rushed to eastern Galicia to participate in the battle within a week, and at the same time contacted the Austro-Hungarian Army, hoarding some on the Romanian front, but we use We will attack Romania immediately after the battle of Galicia is resolved! Tell Mackensen about this, so that he has some preparation." The prince said.
"Then Prince Leopold needs to be strengthened?" the staff officer asked.
"No, tell the prince that you can retreat when the situation is not good, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. As long as the Russian Ninth Army is not integrated with the Romanian front, it is enough!" The prince shook his head and said.
In my mind, the question of the Russian division of troops has been languishing for a long time. The prince will naturally not make this mistake this time. How could the three strengthening armies that the Russians worked so hard to get prepared in a battle is not very sufficient? Eat all the Allied Legions? You can eat most of the Seventh Army on the left, and then hit the Eighth Army in the middle. The Ninth Group? No one cares about this anymore!
