Chapter 1545 After high tide comes low tide 1

"Our situation is very good. In 15 days, our front has advanced 150 to 200 kilometers! We have defeated at least 6 Hungarian corps. So far, the total number of Hungarian corps we have annihilated and captured has reached Losing 180,000 people is equivalent to completely destroying one of their army groups. Now, our cavalry troops are still advancing and are constantly destroying more military depots and logistics facilities. More Hungarian legions will be caught and eaten by us. "In the Russian army headquarters, a Russian regiment excitedly introduced the results of the battle to Borusinov during this period.

"Very well, this is an unprecedented victory after the war started, and this battle will definitely change the situation on the entire Eastern Front! Let us, for the sake of the Russian Empire and the Tsar, hit those self-defeating guys hard!" Bolusi Nove nodded slightly, said some words of encouragement, and then he returned to his room and began to think about what to do next.

"There is already a problem with the forward's offensive, and the cavalry's assault is no longer so sharp. It always feels like cutting flesh with a blunt knife." Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Borusinov couldn't help sighing in one breath. From the perspective of attack speed, in the previous week, the attack speed of the cavalry group was about 20 kilometers per day. At the highest point, it hit a miraculous speed of 35 kilometers a day in a certain direction, but now? Most of the cavalry group was just going around in circles, and the attack speed had dropped to about 10 kilometers per day.

You must know that this is on the Eastern Front, not on the Western Front, which is dozens of kilometers deep and densely packed with a large number of soldiers, machine guns and artillery. The biggest feature of the eastern front is that the density of troops on both sides is very low, and a large number of troops are concentrated on the front line. Once the relatively weak line of defense is broken through, it will be difficult for the defender to establish a new line of defense in a short time. It stands to reason that the current Russian army's deeply inserted troops should no longer encounter any large groups of enemies, but the attack speed is not as good as before.

This can only explain one problem. The blades of the Russian Legion have been blunted, and the ultra-long-distance attacks and breakthroughs have exhausted the last potential of this army. The logistics line can no longer support the troops to advance again, and the entire campaign needs to be transferred from an offensive state to a defensive state.

But to be honest, Borusinov was a little bit reconciled, because the thing he most wanted to see didn't happen! The defeat of Hungary is indeed a credit, but unfortunately, this is only a tactical credit, not a strategic one. Who can't pinch a soft persimmon! The meaning of killing 180,000 Hungarians is far less than killing 60,000 Bavarian Legion, because the latter is the real elite and the pillar of the Eastern Front Campaign of the Allies. Killing the Bavarian Legion of 3 divisions will definitely make the prince heartbroken, so he will cast a mouse. , dare not attack at will.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if the Bavarian Legion or the Austrian Legion cannot be severely damaged. From the beginning of the battle, Borusinov’s focus is no longer on the frontal Hungarian Legion, because this is almost a situation where the dog wins on a leash! He was waiting, waiting for the Austrians to hold back, and then cover up from the north to the south to support their defeated compatriots,

At this time, Borusinov will immediately turn the troops into a defensive state, and then fight a war of attrition with the Austrian Army.

In order to achieve this goal, in order to force the Austrian army to go south as soon as possible, he used his cavalry and some troops to suppress and attack the Hungarians with all his strength, hoping that the Hungarian government would turn this pressure into pressure on the Austrian emperor, so that the latter ordered The Austrian and Bavarian armies marched south to fight.

In order to hold down the Austrians better, Borusinov emptied almost all the troops he could concentrate as a reserve team, and even part of the legions far away in the Transcaucasus were transferred. Throughout the entire campaign up to now, the number of troops that Borusinov can use has not decreased, but has a tendency to increase, and this is what he obtained by overdrawing Russia's last national strength!

Borusinov is looking forward to the arrival of the Austrian Legion. Although he knows that the current Russian army is no longer the Russian army that can beat the Austrians at the beginning of the war. The long war has exhausted the Russian elite, but the Austrian Legion In the war more and more powerful. But it doesn't matter, Borusinov is still confident that the Austrians will be smashed in the defensive state. And lead the battle into a stalemate.

Borusinov even looked forward to the arrival of the Bavarian Army. Facing the Bavarian Army, which can be called the world's largest army, Borusinov knew that no matter what, he would definitely not be able to defend it! But it doesn't matter, to put it a bit too much, even if these troops were sacrificed on the west bank of the Dnieper River, so what? The loss of hundreds of thousands of troops can give Russia more than 3 months!

After all, it will take time for the Bavarian Army to transfer from the northern front to the south. The Russians are not tofu. Although they are destined to be defeated, they will also be delayed for a while.

And by the time the Bavarian Legion was ready, the Russians had already harvested the grain in Eastern Ukraine, and then winter was coming. By then, the Russian winter would make the Bavarian Legion have no idea of ​​attacking! Well, at this point, Borusinov's plan has been achieved. The Russians can use half of Ukraine's grain and the coal mines in the Donetsk region to survive until next year. As for what will happen next year? This is really not something Borusinov can consider. All he can do is to let Russia survive this winter.

However, the problem now is that neither the Austrian Legion nor the Bavarian Legion showed any signs of attacking. The Austrian Legion in the middle just guarded its own gate tightly to prevent the Russian Legion from breaking through to the north. Not moving.

It seems that the bait made by the Russians with hundreds of thousands of troops is not enough to attract the opponent's attention. This is difficult for Borusinov to understand, and even a little scared! Because, at this time, the Austrian and Bavarian Legion was like a boxer with clenched fists, and he did not act hastily because of the flaws revealed by the opponent. Instead, wait for the opportunity and prepare to give the opponent a harder punch!

And where is this punch aimed at? You can understand this with your knees! The opponent may still be preparing to cross the river for Eastern Ukraine to attack! It may be impossible to attack in a short period of time due to insufficient preparation, but it is certain that before the Russians regain their strength, the Bavarian Army's offensive will definitely be launched in advance. The meaning is also very limited, because there is no food.... This Russia is going to die, does it make sense to keep this army?
