Slide 1050
To give a few examples of World War II, why did the Germans win in Kiev? In addition to the slow movements of the Russians, isn't the most important thing that the two fronts completely surrounded Kiev? And those who were not surrounded, whether it was Moscow, Stalingrad, or Leningrad, in the end, weren't the Germans dragged down by Russian life? Can't completely block the reinforcements, what are you fighting for?
Although the Austro-Hungarian Army was softer, it was enough to block the Russians from attacking for a few weeks in the hard box of the fortress. Historically, the Russians fought so smoothly in the first Galician battle and did not immediately win the generals. Fortress of Remy Hill. It can even be said that in the first battle, it is not easy for a peer opponent to win the opponent's strong fortress. For example, the fortress of Verdun. For example, the fortress of Przemysl was won by the Russians for a few months! Another example is the Gulf of Riga, which gathered the entire high seas fleet and fought it twice! Another example is that Britain and France invested nearly 2 dozen battleships and Constantinople, which was not captured by the 500,000 army!
Therefore, when the Russians concentrated on the group armies on both sides for rapid interspersed operations, they also concentrated most of the train artillery and most of the heavy artillery and the forces of a group army to attack the Lviv Fortress. In fact, they also violated the taboo of dividing forces. ! Applying a certain RTS game of later generations, the dark night fights the human race, the dark night force 80 population zoo, there are 5 demon hunters and 4 pandas. Terran troops have a population of 60, level 5 archmages and level 3 hills. If there is a head-on fight, the human race will definitely collapse when they meet!
However, this dark night player felt that he had a huge advantage, and let the panda take a third of his troops to fight the human race and mine, and a bunch of towers to consume, and then the demon hunter brought other troops and human race troops into... This victory? It's hard to say!
And because of this, the entire battle from the Russian plan is at risk of losing everything! This is why the prince is not in a hurry! "If the Russians adjust their deployment, reduce the number of heavy train guns, increase the number of secondary train guns such as 8-inch and 6-inch, and then only restrict the Lviv fortress group to a limited extent, with a maximum of half. The group army encircled the fortress area without attacking it, and supplemented the assault regiments on both wings with a large number of 6-inch heavy howitzers and other weapons. After the frontline troops penetrated the opponent’s rear, it temporarily laid narrow rails or even wooden tracks to lay down the heavy artillery behind them. The supplies are shipped, so this battle will be really difficult for us to fight!" The prince wrote in his memoir.
And it is precisely because of the dispersion of the Russian army that the Russians always have a very serious hidden danger in the two wings of the army, that is, the stamina of the following troops is insufficient! Although the combat effectiveness of the fast cavalry division in front is high, at least it won't suffer in field battles, and it is no problem to hit one or two support points if it is a tough one. But after months of war, although the actual combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army was a bit problematic, the terms such as support points and fortress areas have been understood!
In particular, the further back, the stronger the support points and small fortress areas, it would be very irrational to use the Russian fast cavalry division to force it! After all, your most powerful artillery is nothing but 107MM cannon and 122MM howitzer. Where can it be stronger? Facing each nail that must be captured, the Russians could only swing the light sword in their hands and hit the stone. If the stone is gone, it is gone, anyway, everywhere, but what about the Russian sword? A break can make the Russians feel bad for days!
And it’s impossible for the Russians to hand over all these tough tasks to the large forces behind. The reason is very simple. According to the law of conservation of national strength and equipment output, (is there such a law...) Since the Russians put most of their The equipment is used to strengthen the cavalry regiment, and at the same time most of the heavy equipment is pulled out to attack the tough, then don't think about how good the heavy weapons of the ordinary infantry behind, even if there are more people behind? Isn’t it just to make the machine gun chug a bit more? In Europe, firepower changes fate. National power determines everything!
Therefore, because the Russians erroneously dispersed their own forces and equipment, the result was that the Russian troops on both wings did not have sufficient firepower to really clear all the nails in a short time. In addition, the infantry regiment that followed up had a large number of personnel, but the rifle in the hand had no future. So the prince has already figured out a countermeasure, the concentrated Bavarian army will launch an offensive from the two wings of the Russian attack!
"I don't know how useful Major General Hall's bicycle unit can be." The prince looked at the map, on the side of the Russian left-wing offensive front. The four divisions coming from the rear, plus the other three divisions on standby on the flanks. Assembled in place, which includes an assault division and 2 fast divisions. These forces are concentrated on the battlefield with an attack surface of less than 30 kilometers! They will launch a centripetal offensive against the Przemisir area. The Bavarian-Bohemian regiment of seven divisions has aimed its blade at the weakness of the Russians. The remaining 7 divisions, in addition to the 3 divisions taken by Prince Leopold, used to delay the Russian attack on the right, the 4 divisions in the hands of the prince will also be used directly against the Russians on the left. In the counterattack!
"The follow-up Austro-Hungarian reinforcements will also be in place soon. On the left wing, they will concentrate about 10 divisions within the scheduled time, while the right wing seems to have no chance to concentrate because Romania already wants us to declare war! They have 4 after all. Group army." A staff officer said.
"How is the situation in Lviv Fortress now?" the prince thought for a while and asked.
"The Russians do not know how to capture a modern bunker. Their artillery fire is fierce, and the soldiers are brave, but they lack relevant experience and systematic training especially the combat effectiveness of the engineers is too low. . And it seems to be very unaccustomed to the multi-layer trench system." The staff member thought for a while and said.
"Let the Lviv Fortress bite the opponent fiercely, and if necessary, let the Russians open a gap. We want them to see the hope of victory." The prince thought for a while and continued.
"By the way, the Russian aircraft must also be taken care of. The firepower of the J-1C fighter seems to be insufficient? If it is not possible, change a small number of K-4 bombers into specialized heavy fighters. Also, give me attention to one person. His name is Sikorsky, and he must be caught."
"Well, catch a pilot who named him? I'm afraid..." The staff officer looked at the prince and held back the second half of the sentence.
"Send me this order twice! I want to see the corpse when I die, and people when I live!" The prince regained his gaze and emphasized it again, Sikorsky! Well-known American Russian-born aircraft design master, although he is a helicopter, it is temporarily not available... But this kind of talent can't be cheaper for Americans!
