Chapter 1067： Floating Phantom One

Chapter 1067 Floating Light Phantom 1

After this battle, the number of Ilya bombers that the Russians could use dropped by more than 40%! In one day, the number of other types of aircraft shot down by the Russian Air Force exceeded 56! In addition to other accidental losses, two-thirds of the aircraft did not return to the battlefield.

"When our army reached the peak of the attack, our air force had been swept out." After hearing this news, Alikseyev, who was in charge of commanding the battle, wrote in his diary. At this time, the entire Galician battlefield was like this,

The Russian Seventh Army to the west has finally reached the deepest line of attack after paying a heavy price and leaving behind a fortress that is difficult to break in a short period of time. At present, nearly 3 divisions have reached the Carpathian Mountains. Mountains, which means that their attack depth is enough, and the rest can isolate the East Galicia area by controlling a few more passes.

"Our follow-up forces will take up to 10 days. No, maybe a week. We can build a line of defense on Galicia’s long north-south line to defend against possible counterattacks by the Austrians and Bavarians. On the side, the Ninth Army is also gradually shrinking the Allied forces. It is said that there are 3 Bavarian divisions on the opposite side. It is more difficult to fight, but it does not matter. As long as it can be stabilized, after the Seventh Army is free, it can be transferred to the east." Alekseyev kept deducing the actions and possible consequences of both sides on the sand table.

"Okay, Alekseyev, stop clinging to your stupid, unmarginal plan. We are now on the edge of a cliff. If we take another step, we will face the abyss!" At that time, the door of the house was roughly pushed open, and Borusinov walked in angrily.

"What a joke, we have controlled the form in the west, and we are only one step away from succeeding. We will soon be able to establish a solid line of defense in the north-south direction to prevent reinforcements from the Bavarian Army. They cannot pass Hungary from the east. Entered Galicia, because there are still 4 Romanian armies." Alekseyev said.

"Well, I only ask you one question, have we won in the field battle between us and the Bavarian Army?" Borusinov asked after closing his eyes and doing a quiet cleaning.

"Fuck, this question is sharp!" All the Russians present were a little dumbfounded. Well, although this is straightforward, it does make sense. It seems, probably, maybe, the Russian army and the Bavarian Army are in the wilderness. There really is no record of winning against each other....... But even if this thing is true, you can't tell it!

"We can concentrate 6 divisions on this front. No, the strength of 8 divisions is less than 50 kilometers on the front. In addition, we have a large reserve team. Don’t forget, the seventh The group army has 220,000 people, and we have only lost more than 40,000 troops now. We can also draw troops from the Eighth Group Army that was siege of Lviv." Alekseyev said. "Even if it's a pile of people, we can block each other!" When it came to the back, Alexeyev's face was already a bit ugly.

Being able to achieve the position of commander of the front army is probably still a bit of a brain. After a period of tackling fortifications, Alekseyev has realized that the Lviv Fortress cannot be taken in a short period of time, and the Austrians cannot. But he certainly couldn't make it. In that case, why not temporarily deploy troops to supplement them where needed?

The commander also knows the situation of the Seventh Army to the west. Despite the fact that the number of losses is not large, the losses of these troops are all elite! A unit may seem to have a large number of people, but in fact there are not many people that can really fight! Take Germany, for example. In the late German battle line breakthrough, the infantry relied on the Storm Commando. And a storm commando in a German division with 17,000 in theory has only 1,400. And among the 1,400 men, there is an artillery company equipped with 4 77MM rapid-fire guns and a support unit equipped with 4 to 8 mortar guns. If these units are removed, the actual attack is two reinforced companies and 2 The machine gun unit of the machine gun, an engineer unit, and possibly a flamethrower unit. These people who rushed up on the front line died by a few hundred. These troops are the most elite and dedicated people in the entire division. If they are gone, they may be insignificant in number, but the combat effectiveness of this division will drop by a notch!

This is the case of the Seventh Army, although the loss is not large in terms of total numbers. Not even a sixth. However, it is undeniable that more than half of the troops that can be hit in this group army have basically lost more than half. The most elite rapid assault divisions have been beaten to half. Not to mention the heavy losses of personnel, all kinds of artillery are not saved. ! The infantry division behind cannot even guarantee the number of 3-inch rapid-fire guns. From the perspective of the European battlefield, this group army can already consider reorganizing and waiting for supplements.

And now, the material transfer center of the Seventh Army has been bombed in a mess, which makes the situation of the entire Army even worse. It is not that Alekseyev did not realize this so he did it. Let the Eighth Army temporarily relax the siege of the Lviv fortress area, withdraw its troops to defend the west, and at the same time pull out the remaining nails.

"You are still smart and aware of the status of your army, but unfortunately, this idea is a bit wishful thinking. I have a hunch that the Bavarian Army has used this time to gather a large number of troops. Although our aviation reconnaissance is gone, Through all the clues, we can always see some." Borusinov said with a sigh.

"How much has the Bavarian Army come? Do you know? You don't know! You are just guessing, unfounded guessing!" Alexeyev said excitedly.

"We have no retreat, do we?" Alekseyev continued, "I know exactly what we are doing, and I am at least half sure to consolidate the current results. At least we still have a military advantage, at least We have controlled a large area. At least Romania has moved, and the Austrians are facing two fronts! This is our only chance. If we lose this time, then we will always live in the shadow of Bavarian soldiers. !"
