Chapter 821 Continue Heading North
So, at the last moment, before the prince launched a real attack, the Russians gave up! Like a gecko with its tail cut off, some troops were left behind as cannon fodder to block the Bavarian Army. The remaining main forces of the Fourth Army and the Ninth Army began to withdraw. And just as it was evacuating, the reinforced Auffenberg Army launched an offensive battle that at least seemed very mammoth as if on drugs. Although the results are very limited.
The two Russian armies began to retreat backwards and reorganize their fronts, but His Royal Highness the Prince had no intention of stopping. Three days later, when the main force of the Bavarian Army led by the Prince and Prince Leopold's troops merged, there were enough The Bavarian Army of 12 divisions began to continue its attack to the north! The logistics originally used to be responsible for the two Austro-Hungarian armies were requisitioned by the prince. The roaring Bavarian tanks started again and launched an attack on the exhausted Russian army. "Holding the grass, there is no end! It seems that you really need to look at the background when you hit someone!" This time, the Bavarian Army, which lacked armored units and vehicles, was naturally unable to carry out a high-level interleaved battle, but to There is nothing wrong with tearing apart the hastily fortified defense lines of the Russians. Simple artillery plus infantry assault and front-line push tactics are enough to deal with the Russians. Nikolajevich, who was far away in Warsaw, did not expect that the Bavarians were really serious this time. Didn't they save Offenberg and be done with it? They seemed to want to launch a counterattack? Didn't Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire have bad relations recently? Although the blood lines between the two families have been deeply integrated now, when the Russians violently beat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Bavarian Army's reaction was still beyond the Russians' expectations. However, this also helped the Russians solve a problem. Up to now, Brusinov no longer insists on letting the Russian troops in the direction of Ukraine reach the foot of the Garpathian Mountains, nor does he insist on letting the two Russians The group army has killed the Offenberg Army. They have now unified their position, that is, how to block the Bavarian Army's front! No way, although the Bavarian Legion is not in good condition, the Russians are also in bad condition. What's more, the total length of this front is 750 kilometers! The five Russian armies are dispersedly deployed, and the troops gathered in Bavaria include more than one army. These troops are targeting the damaged Fourth and Ninth Armies, and the attack surface is relatively narrow. Although the simple front-line push tactics may not be very effective, they will not make mistakes at the same time. The Russians' firepower and troop quality are several levels behind those of the Germans, and they will definitely not be able to defeat them in a deadly fight. Therefore, the prince does not need to worry too much about the situation on the battlefield. In his opinion, dealing with Conrad coming from Vienna is even more important than things on the battlefield, because the negotiation between the prince and him determines the fate of Galli in the future. The basic pattern of the West Asian front. "I don't care what Fritz ordered, or how the Austro-Hungarian General Staff arranged it, and I don't want to follow your opinions. Now, I say, you listen. My opinions are not There will be big changes." When Conrad and his party arrived at the prince's command post, the prince said with a straight face. The Bavarian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army have no affiliation. In principle, as long as the prince can ensure the safety of the Bohemian region, there is no need to obey the orders of the Austro-Hungarian Army. And just two days ago, Moltke formally nominated the prince as the commander-in-chief of the German Eastern Front in the name of the German General Staff. In other words, if passed, now, from the perspective of military orders, the prince and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are completely on par! "The Bavarian Army's theater of war will not change because of this battle. In other words, the area we occupy now is not our war zone.So sooner or later we will hand over to the Austro-Hungarian Army. And this time will be limited, you can take over or not, this is entirely up to you. "
"But now the Austro-Hungarian Army has no strength at all to maintain the front. If you give up, then the Bavarian Army fought bloody battles and consumed a lot of resources, but did not obtain enough benefits. So what is the meaning of this battle? "Conrad said in surprise."The meaning is that we have given you the opportunity, it depends on how you seize it! The prince did not change his opinion because of Conrad's words. "We all know that after a large-scale battle, both sides will have a long rest period. We rescued the Offenberg Army and retained With the strength of nearly an army group, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a population of more than 40 million. During the period of rest between both sides, it is not difficult to make up for the losses caused by previous battles. ""Now, the elite Bavarian Army who have returned to the Eastern Front are ready to launch a new attack. The Russians' attention would still be distracted. If under such circumstances, you cannot hold on to this breakthrough, I simply cannot imagine it. ""The Bavarian Army is going to launch a counterattack? So, Your Highness, where will you place your breakthrough? Is it Bohemia or Galicia? "As soon as he heard this, Conrad became interested. "It has not been determined yet, but neither of these two places is my first choice. Because this is too far away from Bavaria, I don't want what happened in the last border battle to happen again. Our supply lines were not cut off by the Russians, but were manipulated behind our backs by our own people. This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate! "The prince's words were full of anger."I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. "Conrad said with some shame."How can you guarantee it? Is it because of his position as Chief of General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? No, this guarantee is not reliable, and even His Majesty the Emperor’s guarantee is definitely not reliable. When the time comes, people will always be able to find all kinds of excuses! And for this guarantee, leading to tens of thousands of casualties, I will not be so stupid. "The prince's words are already quite heartbreaking. This clearly tells Conrad that the border battle is not over yet. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire does not give an explanation, the matter will not be over! "But the matter is over. The person responsible has also been punished, isn’t it enough? What else do you want? Don’t forget, we are allies! "Conrad said with some annoyance."Of course we can't pass. The losses caused by the Bavarian Army have not been compensated. How can we pass? If apologies were enough, there would be no war in the world! The meaning of allies is to help each other. If one party's actions cause losses to the other party, shouldn't substantial compensation be given? "The prince asked back.Three updates today~~~!
