Chapter 1090: The trend is gone

Chapter 1090

For this reason, the threat to the flanks of the Mackensen Army has actually been lifted. The two Russian divisions in front of the 10th Fast Division have basically been destroyed, with a personnel loss of nearly 40%, and all the artillery has been suppressed or destroyed. , There is very little that can be used, although the number of people is still large, but a considerable part of it is a heavy unit, it is impossible to gather enough infantry and artillery to launch an attack.

Of course, the 10th Fast Division also paid a heavy price in this battle. One of the armored units is already somewhat soft. In this battle, the Germans also lost 15% of their troops and about half of their artillery. No way, the Russian artillery suppressed too much, and it was not strong enough. In the case of the bunkers, the train cannon hits, then there is no help!

The current situation is like this. After a short break, the freed Tenth Fast Division can immediately go south to support its friendly forces and defeat the other two Russian divisions. Before the second wave of Russian offensive, the prince mobilized three. The Bavarian division can at least rush to the flank of the Mackensen Army. In this case, the Russian army will be looking for death if it attacks again. Of course, if you catch the Russian Eighth Army that is attacking Kovelli and the flank at the same time, it will be very difficult. . But it doesn't matter, as long as the Russian army that has taken down Coveli and lost its supplies will definitely not be able to run the elite Bavarian Legion!

When the most elite division of Russia's elite group army failed the assault, the overall situation of the battle has been settled. Only two divisions blocked the most fierce Russian counterattack. The Mackensen regiment continued to march forward. Nearly 10 full-strength divisions in the two countries also have a strength of about 200,000. Even if the Russians as the 10th Army of the General Reserve really all arrived at Kovili, then it is just a 1V1 fight for everyone, all of the Russians. Almost all the mobile heavy artillery was given to the Eighth Army, or it was in various fortresses. Without these things, the Germans might be afraid of Russia?

If at this time, the Russian communication is still smooth, then they will inevitably choose to withdraw the 4 divisions from the second wave of flanking raids, and then accelerate the evacuation speed to the rear, in the intention of running as much as possible, discarding everything Bottles and cans. At the same time, the 10th Russian Army as the general reserve must also consider whether it should abandon Kovelli’s defenses. After all, don’t talk about the six divisions that came over. Even if the 10th Army comes all over, you will not be able to defeat Marken. Mori Army!

To paraphrase a sentence on the stock market of the future, it is time to liquidate positions and stop losses! If you can't keep it, you can't keep it. You can't lose it alone, right? If the Russians are smarter, or to put it off, then considering withdrawal from Poland should be on the agenda. After all, the gap in the north is not big anymore. Of course, abandoning Russian Poland directly needs to bear huge political and political issues. Morale risk, I really understand it, and people who are responsible may not dare to do it, not to mention that no one among the top Russian military sees this! And now the winter is coming soon, and this will be the last war between the two sides this year. Even before March next year, both sides will not be able to launch a large-scale offensive.

Therefore, the Russians are not very worried about this situation. At least four months can take a break. At that time, the Russians should have no problem with the number of three army groups, right? And the Russians with this kind of thinking will naturally not withdraw from Russian Poland now.

As a result, the rest of the content can be imagined. Seven days later, in the periphery of Coveli, all the 8 divisions of the Mackensen Army have been in place, 420 cricket tanks and Hufeng assault guns, and more than 700 various types. With a caliber of artillery, the Mackensen Army with a total strength of 150,000 raised its long sword against the 6 Russian divisions outside of Coveli!

"Let's start! I hope that within 4 days, the flag of the German Empire can be planted at the head of Covelly!" Mackensen issued an offensive order. This time, Mackensen, who once played a reputation in history, can finally play a hearty game!

As a result, the German Eighth Army under the command of Mackensen finally performed a play of how to beat the "children" under the city of Coveli! The 420 tanks were divided into 4 assault groups, and the follow-up troops launched a centripetal assault on the Russian Army at the same time. Under the cover of more than 200 bombers and more than 500 artillery, it was invincible. The German line of defense was like paper. , The Russian defense line set 20 kilometers from the city of Covel was pierced 15 kilometers on the first day. When the sun went down the next day, the German troops of the three divisions had already launched against Covel. Siege of the city. And how can the Russian army, which has not much defense at all, blocked the opponent? On the third night, Mackenson got his wish and set foot on Coveli's land.

"From now on, the Russian Eighth Army will no longer be able to obtain a grain and a bullet from here. The most elite group army since the beginning of the Russian war is about to become the past tense!" Mackensen pointed to the station not far away with pride. The Russian vehicles seized by the Germans and the materials piled up in the warehouse said.

But Mackensen is not a person who is easily dazzled by victory. Although the overall situation is set, there is still some time before the end. What's more, the three Bavarian divisions transferred by the prince have not come in handy yet. If you run for nothing like this, Mackensen thinks this is a great disrespect to the future successor of Bavaria!

"Immediately report to the Bavarian 12th, 14th, and 15th Divisions ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Let them and the Bavarian 10th Rapid Division continue to advance eastward and pursue the broken Russian Eighth Army! Originally transferred from the Bavarian Army The incoming vehicles can also be deployed. In addition to leaving 6 divisions to defend against the Russian counterattacks, the remaining two divisions and the troops that rushed thereafter are also advancing eastward. We need to form one at the back of Russian Poland. Larger protrusions," Mackensen ordered.

Traveling a hundred miles and a half and ninety, Mackensen didn’t want to waste the good situation in front of him like this. Counting the newly arrived 3 Bavarian divisions, the German-Austrian regiment of 7 divisions swept towards the east, completely cut off. After the retreat of the Russian Eighth Army, the artillery unit established after the Russians searched the navy was wiped out in this battle. In the end, this powerful army with more than a thousand artillery and more than 20 train guns lasted more than a month. Was defeated in the battle. All train guns were evacuated in advance, and the rest were destroyed or captured. The Russian Eighth Army, which reached 280,000 at its peak, had less than 80,000 people left after the end of the battle. 90 thousand. More than 110,000 captured and injured!
