Chapter 1081 Making up for the situation 1

"Are the Germans really crazy? Instead of attacking our prepared positions, they turned around in front of our eyes and pounced directly on Covel?! Haha, they actually wanted to uproot us directly , are you kidding? This distance of nearly 200 kilometers is enough for them to go!" Alexeyev's nervous voice sounded again in the war room. The eyes are full of madness, surprise and unwillingness!

He felt that he had been fooled. The Germans had no intention of confronting him, but chose a seemingly impossible method, but as long as it succeeded, it could be solved once and for all! The straight-line distance is more than 100 kilometers, and the actual distance traveled is probably more than 200. If the logistics system really collapses, how will you let these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops come back? !

"Okay, that's the end of the tantrum, let's get down to business." Brusinov also felt like he had eaten a fly at this time. After all, he was the one who caught the Eighth Army's combat readiness. If something really happened, the first The only one who couldn't run away was him, but as the best general in Russia's World War I, he knew that if he made a mistake, he had to find a way to remedy it. Complaining that the enemy doesn't play according to the routine? Why should your opponent do what they want? Isn’t this **** crazy? Well, he was also brain-dead this time.

No, it's not that he's crazy, it's that the other party took this step too radically. If Brusinov had made the plan himself, he would never have done this. It was too dangerous, and he couldn't even convince himself that the plan would work. You know, the Germans had to cover a distance of more than 200 kilometers. , the supply line was suddenly extended by more than 200 kilometers? Is this fucking life-threatening? !

However, if this plan gets the approval of the prince, the Russians will have to pay attention. After all, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. Faced with such a master who had almost never lost a battle in the military, let alone suffered any losses, no matter how crazy his actions were, it seemed impossible. The Russians definitely do not dare to take it lightly.

More importantly, the Russians cannot watch the Germans stabbing them all the way to Kovel! If this really happened, he couldn't let hundreds of thousands of Russian troops eat grass and go back...

"It will definitely not work if our troops retreat as a whole. We have enough time and preparations. We cannot stop the German troops before they reach Covel, so I suggest that the High Command immediately mobilize the 10th Army in Warsaw to go to Covel immediately. Nearby, to block the German attack, we must hold this key node no matter what. This is related to whether our Eighth Army can go back." What should I do if I can't do it myself? Call for foreign aid immediately! This is true whether it is military or competitive. As a veteran, Brusinov has a clear mind!

"This is our last reserve team." Kuropatkin said on the side.

"The reserve team is used to respond to emergencies." Brusinov said.

"If this force suffers further losses,

We will not be able to form a complete army within half a year. "Looking at Brusinov who was hesitant to speak, Kuropatkin made a gesture to listen to me: "The size of our front-line troops has reached a critical point. In addition to deep mobilization, We cannot maintain more troops. Even if we recruit troops, it is a luxury to fully organize the current army groups of various countries. We have already begun reducing the personnel and equipment of our second-line divisions. We don’t have that much capital to squander wantonly in this gamble called war! You need to think about it. "

"I, I, I..." For a long time, Brusinov couldn't say a word. why? Scared! Because Kuropatkin has made it very clear that there is no reserve team. Does it matter that there is no reserve team? Nonsense, of course it’s important! Even during the Battle of Verdun, Falkenhayn, the then German Chief of General Staff, only dared to draw 17 reserves from 25 divisions. Nearly 10 divisions still need to be left to deal with emergencies.

And now? Russia has a total of 9 armies on the Eastern Front. Among them, there are 5 Austro-Hungarian armies facing Germany and Western Galicia. Although there are many, a group army has less than 200,000 people at most. The minimum number is even only 150,000. Considering the current equipment level of the Russians, being able to block the opponent's attack is the greatest expectation given to them by the Russian Supreme Command.

Of the four armies left, one has been disabled and the other has been pinned down by Prince Leopold. Then there are only two armies left, one is the Eighth Army that has been thrown on the case to be slaughtered, and the other is the Tenth Army as the general reserve. The current situation is that if the reserve is put in, this time Maybe it passed, but what about next time? Kuropatkin made it very clear that there is no reserve team. The current situation is no longer like the beginning of the war. If we work hard, we can squeeze out a reserve team. The number of people in each group army has begun to decline, and the personnel of the grassroots units have also begun to shrink, just to create a few more divisions. Brusinov's approach was undoubtedly to use the last bit of mobile troops.

At this point, no matter whether you can hold on or not, Russia is actually in a disadvantageous position, because all your troops are solidified on the front line. It seems that the density of troops is extremely high and the wall is iron-clad. But once it is broken through, it will be the result of a complete collapse. , because you have no way to plug the gap. With limited troops, you can only plug it once, which is equivalent to overdrafting the future! The method of disintegrating demons is just that!

(Okay, let’s put it in a more understandable way, that is, when you are playing World of Warcraft or StarCraft, the war on the front line is tense, and you suddenly have no mine, and then you only have more than 300 yuan on your account. How do you feel at this time? Now That’s what Brusinov feels like!)

"If we mobilize the Tenth Army, even if we hold it, then all our troops will be fixed on the position. Don't count on the five armies to the west. As long as we dare to take away five divisions, the Bavarian Army will be next We can reach Warsaw in a month!" Kuropatkin said solemnly.

"However, the loophole has already appeared, and someone must fill it! There is already a gap of more than 80 kilometers between us and the five armies to the west! If they cannot capture Kovel in the end, they will also leave a hole in Poland's heartland. A deep cut! The battle line has been directly stretched by hundreds of kilometers. How can we deploy defense? The only way now is to block them, then try to let them go south, and then restore the defense line!" Brusinov He said it almost in a pleading tone. Let the listeners be moved by it.
