Chapter 1518 Dying struggle (4)
According to the current situation, Austria can obtain at least 30,000 to 40,000 square kilometers of land and at least one third of Belarus from Russian Poland. These places are no less than Romania, but this is just the beginning. The later Moldova and most of Ukraine will split Bavaria and Austria equally! And if Hungary cannot show enough value, then Austria can at least obtain another 150,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian fertile black land, coal mines and other resources! Well, how could Hungary watch such a big piece of cake slip away from it?
And it is precisely because of this that Borusinov can be sure that his opponent will fight a war of attrition with himself in a shallow position! There is also a reason for launching multiple attacks at the same time instead of concentrating forces for a breakthrough as before. The most important thing is that the Hungarians are relatively weak, and the Russians do not need to concentrate their forces like breaking through the Austrian position. (What? You said breaking through the position of the Bavarian Army? This ah? Just think about it.) And the other point is that the Hungarians don’t know where the main direction of the Russian army’s attack is, thus blocking leaks everywhere, causing chaos in their own system. Create conditions for the second stage of the Russian assault!
War is a game that makes fewer mistakes than anyone can make. The attack direction is judged incorrectly. If the place to be blocked is not blocked, then you are not far from failure. Use more attacks to test the opponent's position and find out Weakness, death, is the essence of Borusinov’s battle!
After the first stage of the large-scale war of attrition between the infantry on both sides, the losses on both sides should have been great, and the front should have been devastated, and at this time, the Russian killer moves! One hundred thousand cavalry is the killer and key to this battle! If it is a positional warfare, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry unit is not as good as that of the infantry. After all, the cavalry lacks the support of heavy weapons. Sharp edge!
And Borusinov is using this sharp blade to expand the results! The Russians are limited in strength and lack of equipment, so they can't be like the Bavarian Legion while encircling opponents while penetrating the opponent's position, but it doesn't matter, Ukraine's poor infrastructure makes up for this problem.
In Poland, the density of railways and roads per unit area is more than 6 times that of Ukraine! If it is just a breakthrough instead of holding it, the defeated party can quickly retreat through various lines of communication and enter the second line of defense. This is also the difficulty of the Polish campaign. But in Ukraine there is no problem, as long as a few key supply points are felt, and the few roads are pinched, then the collapsed Hungarian army will be consumed without fighting!
As for the other party’s support? If the Bavarian Army is in the middle, next to the Hungarian Army, then Borusinov will have to worry about it. But now, the Bavarian Army is located in northern Ukraine and Belarus. The distance is several hundred kilometers. The so-called mobile advantage is It is really uncertain how long it will take to complete the course under bad road conditions, and in the midst of it, Borusinov feels that Bavaria does not seem to be interested in the casualties of the Hungarian army!
As for the concentration of firepower, it goes without saying. Adhering to the consistent Russian-style cold-blooded, it is not a big deal to fail to kill people, as long as the weapons can stay... However, now, in order to ensure sufficient output from the main assault point and sufficient cavalry light artillery, Borusinov does not mind allowing most of the troops to smash the opponent's defense line with blood and light weapons.
However, this kind of concentrated firepower has advantages, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the lack of flexibility in fire support. This has been reflected in the 2nd war in history, even in the latter part of the 2nd war, the Soviet army’s deep strategic play The fire is perfect, and their artillery maneuvers are still dull. The artillery troops can only maneuver according to the predetermined route. If they leave, the supply will be a problem. And the so-called Soviet Union’s ten thousand cannons are fired together and the firepower density is super high, right? It makes sense, but it depends on the situation!
The firepower of the Soviet army is mainly reflected in the destruction of the enemy’s position when it breaks through. However, it is difficult to say how many artillery can be used on the front line after tens of kilometers in the opponent’s position, or more than 100 kilometers later. Up. A US division consumes about 600 tons of materials a day, while a Soviet army of the same level consumes more than 300 tons a day. The gap can also be seen from the level of material consumption. In addition to the consumption of front-line combat troops, a considerable part of the consumption is actually the price of the mobility of the troops!
(In fact, the German army is also a dick, and the mobility of its troops is also quite dependent on mules and horses. It seems that there is not a fully mechanized army in the German army. There are more or less horses in every logistic unit of the army.)
As a result, as the plan was finally knocked out, more than 400,000 Russian front-line troops were deployed along the 500-kilometer front, and a large number of troops began to move from the northern line to the south, originally used to undertake transportation tasks in the direction of Moscow and St. Petersburg. The vehicles in the country have also begun to be transferred to the front line. On the vast Ukrainian plains, a flow of people and vehicles are like blood vessels transporting thousands of tons of materials and hundreds of thousands of troops to the front line.
At this moment Russia, which had been severely injured, was like a giant struggling before his death. Start to force yourself to continue your life! You can say that he is back to light, you can also say that he is dying, but it is undeniable that as a great power, the power of this blow is still very terrifying!
However, while the Russian army under the command of Borusinov was meticulously preparing for the Borusinov offensive on this plane, the Allies were not idle. Prince Leopold, commanding the Bavarian and Bohemian Army in the direction of Ukraine-Belarus, is planning how to cross the Dnieper. The Austrian Chief of Staff Konrad, who commanded the Austrian Army, was also preparing to follow after the Bavarian Army broke through the Dnieper. What about the Hungarians? Currently fighting with the Russians just north of the Dnieper River. But even they waited for the Prussian army of three nominal divisions!
And the general who commanded this army is also a celebrity! This is another Lieutenant General Hans von Seckert, who is known as the father of the "One Hundred Thousand Wehrmacht" during the Weimar period and was once the head of the German military delegation during the Republic of China. At this time, under his leadership, this force had crossed the border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and entered the territory of Ukraine, and here, he saw his friendly army!
