Chapter 1082: Remedy Two

Chapter 1082

"Maybe you don’t need a group army, only half is enough, half, maybe 6 divisions, I just hope they can set up a line of defense around Coveli, and then protect the passage and lifeline of my army’s retreat. Is it all right? If you have six divisions, you still have a reserve team in your hands, and we only need to break their spearheads. For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Russian Eighth Army, let us give it a hand!"

In fact, if the Russians did not adjust their movements to the Tenth Army of the General Reserve, they would now have no soldiers to adjust. It does not mean that no one in the Eighth Army has artillery, but because you can't run the opponent! It’s absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen in Germany or on the Western Line, because people’s railways are so powerful. In the history of World War I, Germany took 250,000 troops from the Western Line to Krafko in southern Poland in 11 days. Is it a joke? ! The plan of the prince and Mackenson is actually not too clever. It may not work to deal with any country except Russia, but sorry, it is you now!

Don’t talk about Brusinov, even if it’s God, it’s impossible to retreat 230,000 Russian troops and thousands of artillery to Kovili within 7 days. This is absolutely impossible. You know, the Russian infantry division. The first-level unit is 25 kilometers a day without war.

It is true that the Russians can use the railway, but the railway line itself is not stable. Let alone the German bomber squad hovering in the air, let alone the German sabotage squad that is haunting the rear, let alone the very recent bombing. Important bridges. These are internal causes and minor problems. The biggest problem is the Russian railway problem. Among other things, there is no double-track reconstruction, and the Russian railway, which can only travel on a single trip, has nothing to do with the word high efficiency! Therefore, this determines that most of the Russian army can only slowly climb back on the 11th road!

However, if we calculate the distance between Kovili and the front line of Lviv, hehe, the average distance for each division to withdraw is about 230 kilometers! And if the group army acts, then the speed is even slower! The fastest and fastest, the contraction can be completed in 12 days, and if acting at the current speed, the Germans can reach the city of Covilly in 5 days. The second-rate preparatory division with the Russians left behind has no way to resist. At present, the only way is to let the reserve team take the initiative to plug the gap. Using the advantages of internal railways, several divisions can be counted as several divisions.

"Brusinov, you have made a mistake in your judgment." Nikolai said openly, who had not spoken. "So, you can't just rely on foreign aid to make up for this mistake."

"I..." Brusinov was speechless for a while.

"Okay, I've already said that. The four divisions of the Tenth Army will return to Coveli tomorrow. You can do the rest by yourself. The Ninth Army will help you if you have spare capacity. That's all." The words of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian front-line commander-in-chief, are the conclusion of this matter, and help is possible, but that's it. If you can't save yourself, then wait for it to be liquidated!

Then, after that, it was already too hot, and it can even be said that Lieutenant General Brusinov, who was driven to a dead end, made the most impulsive decision of his life, that is, to command the Eighth Army on the flank of the Mackensen Army. Launch an active attack!

"Order the Eighteenth Army and the Fourteenth Division of the 19th Army to gather together and form the first echelon to launch an offensive against the German flanks. The 20th Army and the 21st Army will hand over the excess equipment and ammunition to the attack. In addition, all military and group-owned artillery units that cannot be transported away inconveniently were added to the attack sequence. In addition, the Siberian Third Army and the Reserve 5th Army formed a second wave of attacks and supported them in a timely manner. The first wave of operations." This attack order was very brief, but just over three-digit telegrams almost mobilized the entire Russian Eighth Army.

Rusinov drew 2 waves, a total of 8 divisions, about 120,000 front-line combat troops were used to launch this counterattack against the Mackensen Army, which are currently the best divisions of the Russian Eighth Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the backbone of the Eighth Army. In terms of number, it accounts for slightly more than half. And from the artillery equipment, it accounted for more than 70%! Then, Brusinov picked up one of Russia's most elite group army, and slammed it down against the flank of Mackensen's legion!

Thus, when Mackensen's three rapid assault brigades were rushing toward Coveli, the entire 8 divisions of Russian infantry also took up knives against Mackensen's flanks. On the night Brusinov made his decision, there was a surge in radio signals throughout the Russian theater! This already made Mackensen feel a little strange, and soon, when the German reconnaissance plane appeared leisurely over the Russian-controlled area the next day, preparing to make a routine turn, and then go back to report the situation and prepare to have lunch. The pilot was surprised to find that the Russian army on the ground like a gray wave rushed towards Mackensen.

The so-called people are full of mountains and plains, this time Brusinov has mobilized 120,000 troops, plus more than 50,000 horses and other livestock! Bring more than 700 artillery to fight the opponent desperately! If such a force is walking on the ground, it is impossible to say that it is not shocked! As a result, in almost one morning, the reconnaissance planes of the three squadrons in charge of reconnaissance missions dispatched hundreds of telegrams!

And this is not the end~www.wuxiaspot.com~According to the information obtained, there are also a large number of military columns increasing from Warsaw towards the south. In terms of scale, there are about 6 divisions, and how many people does Mackensen have now? There are a lot of people, about 11 divisions, and they don't suffer in terms of numbers, but these 11 divisions are also not expanded, and although the prince gave him 4 divisions, these divisions are all at a loss. Especially when facing the right wing of the Russian army first, there are only 2 divisions' flanking cover units. And at this time, the Russians first attacked, and who would have said exactly what happened to the next attack? What is even more frightening is that this time, the Russians seem to have the firepower advantage, and Mackensen’s largest artillery is 210MM. The Russians used the railway to pull some of the train guns onto the battlefield!

"Mackenson? Can you hold it? Can you help?" The prince felt that something was wrong. So I sent an urgent telegram to Mackenson. And gritted his teeth again, preparing to transfer 3 more divisions from Bavaria... And Mackensen's call back is also very straightforward, please give it a try first. Now it must be too late to transfer troops, just take a look. As a result, Mackensen was most worried and expected. The field battle between the German Army and the most elite Russian Army finally began. The first round was the 2 divisions on his right and 4 strengthened Russian infantry. Fight between teachers!
