Chapter 1198： Plan failed (fourth update)

"Your Excellency Marshal, the Third Army of the Polish Army and the First Army of Belarus successfully resisted the Russian attack last night. Although the loss was not small, they were finally resisted. Moreover, the casualties they caused to the Russian army were greater than Their losses are much greater!" Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert looked excited.

If the German army resisted the Russian army's attack, it would undoubtedly be a normal thing. However, now that the Poles and Belarusians have resisted the Russian attack, the meaning is completely different. This also means that with their efforts, the combat effectiveness of these servants has increased a lot. In some cases, it is even capable of confronting the Russian army head-on. In this way, in the follow-up operations, these servants will be able to participate in more combat operations. The casualties of the German army can be further controlled.

Marshal Guderian also had a smile on his face. He also knew what this meant to the German army. This put him in a very good mood. Because in the battle next spring, the main task of the German Army Group B will be to take Moscow. There is no doubt that the Russians will fight the Germans in Moscow to keep their capital. At that time, if the German army wants to take Moscow, it will inevitably pay a very heavy price. If the servant army could replace the German army and participate in street fighting, the German army's losses would not be so great.

"The Russians failed to break through our line of defense last night, so it will be even more impossible for them to break through our line of defense in the future. Reinforcements are constantly rushing to the front line. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be for the Russians! "Marshal Guderian said.

Lieutenant General Carl Hilpert nodded again and again.

"Send a telegram to General Vashkevich and General Chelyushev, telling them that I am very satisfied with their performance, and I will report to His Majesty in the combat report submitted to His Majesty the Emperor! In addition, let They should not relax because of this. The Russians will definitely not let it go. They will definitely continue to attack!" Marshal Guderian said.

"Okay, Marshal, I will tell them!" Lieutenant General Carl Hilpert said.

It is a great honor for all soldiers to let His Majesty know their performance. It will also have a huge impact on their future. Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert believed that Lieutenant General Vashkevich and Lieutenant General Chelyushenv would be very happy when they heard the news.

Big Luki, the frontline command of the Russian army. General Zhukov and Lieutenant General Konev sat opposite each other. However, Lieutenant General Konev's face was full of disappointment. The battle last night caused heavy losses to his 19th Army. The two infantry armies participating in the attack lost more than 60%, and they were almost on the verge of collapse. But even so, their offense still failed to win, but ended in failure. Such a result made it difficult for him to accept.

General Zhukov was expressionless. In fact, he seemed to have expected such a result a long time ago. However, he was somewhat lucky before. But now, this luck is completely gone.

"Comrade Commander, what should we do now? Our attack last night failed, and the Germans will definitely be prepared. It will be even more difficult for us to break through their defense line. The casualties of our troops are too Bigger, far bigger than the Germans and their servants. If this continues, the situation will become even more unfavorable to us!" Lieutenant General Konev said.

General Zhukov nodded: "I know. I will report the situation here to Comrade Marshal Voroshilov. I will advise Comrade Marshal to stop this attack without any objection. However, will Comrade Marshal agree? It is difficult to say. After all, this is the offense that Comrade Joseph requested."

Lieutenant General Konev also knew the difficulties of General Zhukov, and he also knew that there was no way. Under the condition that Joseph gave the order, the others did not have the courage to disobey his order.

"If you can, it's best to stop the offensive and build up your strength for the German attack next spring. Since the Germans deployed their minions in the front line to deal with us, and their own elite troops stayed in the rear. Very Obviously, they are preparing for a large-scale attack next year. But our elite troops have been consumed in vain. If so, what will we use to resist the German attack next year?" Lieutenant General Konev hated Said hatefully. Although he didn't say it clearly, he was obviously very dissatisfied with Joseph's random command.

"The Germans undoubtedly put the decisive battle in next year. If we have no way to resist their attack in next year's battle, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhukov said. He also knew this, but in the same way, he had no way to disobey Joseph's order. Even though they knew there was a big problem with Joseph's order, no one in the entire Russian army dared to point it out. This also caused the Russian army to pay a lot of unnecessary losses in this war. This will be very detrimental to the Russian army's next operations.

Although General Zhukov has realized that this time the offensive plan has failed. But after he submitted a report to Marshal Voroshilov requesting to stop the offensive, he still did not get approval.

Marshal Voroshilov also admitted that it is almost impossible to break through the defense lines of the German army and its servants and severely damage them. However, he didn't want to admit defeat just like that. In that case, it would be difficult for him to explain to Joseph that he had paid a heavy loss but had no effect.

At the request of Marshal Voroshilov, General Zhukov had to continue to attack. However, in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, he had to put every attack at night.

Although these attacks cost the Polish and White troops on the defensive side a considerable price, the Russian army was still unable to break through the Polish and White defense lines. Moreover, the losses they paid for themselves were far greater than the losses of the enemy. This made the Russian army have almost no other effect in this attack except for causing huge casualties to itself. The German army successfully used the servant army to further consume the strength of the Russian army and create more favorable conditions for the next spring's battle.
