Chapter 1545： After the high tide is the low tide one

Slide 1545

"Our situation is very good. In 15 days, our front has advanced 150 to 200 kilometers! We have defeated at least 6 Hungarian armies. So far, the total number of Hungarian armies we have annihilated and captured has reached. With 180,000 people, it is equivalent to completely destroying one of their army groups. Now, our cavalry units are still advancing, and continue to destroy more military stations and logistics facilities, and more Hungarian army groups will be captured and eaten by us. "In the headquarters of the Russian army, a Russian army enthusiastically introduced Borusinov the results of this period of time.

"Very well, this is an unprecedented victory after the war began. This battle will inevitably change the situation of the entire Eastern Front! Let us fight against those who fight for the Russian Empire and the Tsar!" Borusi Nov nodded slightly and said some morale-boosting words, then he returned to his room and started thinking about what to do next.

"There has been a problem with the striker's offensive, and the cavalry unit's assault is no longer so sharp. It always feels like cutting meat with a blunt knife." Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Borusinov couldn't help but sigh. In one breath. In terms of offensive speed, the cavalry group’s attack speed was around 20 kilometers per day in the previous week. At its highest, it hit a miraculous speed of 35 kilometers in a certain direction. But now? The cavalry group is more just going around in circles, and the offensive speed has dropped to about 10 kilometers per day.

You must know that this is on the Eastern Front, not on the Western Front, which is dozens of kilometers deep, densely lined with a large number of troops, machine guns, and artillery. The biggest feature of the Eastern Front is that both sides have a low density of forces, and a large number of forces are concentrated on the front line. Once the relatively weak line of defense is broken through, it will be difficult for the defender to establish a new line of defense in a short time. It stands to reason that the current Russian forces that penetrate deep into the depths should no longer encounter any major enemies, but the attack speed is not as good as before.

This can only show one problem. The blade of the Russian Legion has been dulled, and the ultra-long-range attacks and breakthroughs have exhausted the last potential of this force. The logistics line is no longer able to support the troops to advance again, and the entire campaign needs to be transferred from an offensive state to a defensive state.

But to be honest, Borusinov was a little unwilling, because what he most wanted to see did not happen! It is indeed a credit for defeating Hungary, but it is a pity that it is only a tactical credit, not a strategic one. Who can't find a soft persimmon! Killing 180,000 Hungarians is far less meaningful than killing the 60,000 Bavarian Legion, because the latter is the real elite and the backbone of the Allied Eastern Front. Killing the Bavarian Legion of 3 divisions can definitely make the prince painful, thus throwing a rat. , Dare not launch an attack at will.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't hit the Bavarian Army or the Austrian Army. From the beginning of the battle, Borusinov's focus is no longer on the positive Hungarian Army, because this is almost a situation where a dog wins! He was waiting, waiting for the Austrians to be unable to hold back anymore, and then lay down from the north to the south to support their defeated compatriots. At this time, Borusinov would immediately turn his troops into a defensive state and then fight the Austrian army. A war of attrition.

In order to achieve this goal, in order to force the Austrian army to go south as soon as possible, he used his cavalry and some troops to do his best to oppress the Hungarians, hoping that the Hungarian government would turn this pressure into pressure on the Austrian Emperor, so that the latter would order The Austrian and Bavarian legions fought south.

In order to better hold the Austrians, Borusinov almost vacated all the troops he could concentrate as a reserve team, and even the legions far away in the Transcaucasus were transferred. Throughout the entire campaign, the number of troops available to Borusinov has not decreased, but has increased, and this is what he obtained by overdrawing Russia's last national power!

Borusinov was looking forward to the arrival of the Austrian Army. Although he knew that the Russian Army was no longer the one that could hang the Austrians at the beginning of the war. The prolonged war exhausted the elite of the Russians, but the Austrian Army did not. Becoming stronger in the war. But it doesn't matter, Borusinov still has the confidence to make the Austrians beaten to the head in a defensive state. And lead the battle into a stalemate state.

Borusinov even looked forward to the arrival of the Bavarian Army. Facing the Bavarian Army, which is called the world's first army, Borusinov knew that, in any case, he would definitely not be able to defend it! But it's okay. To put it a little too much, what if these troops are sacrificed on the west bank of the Dnieper? The loss of hundreds of thousands of troops can give Russia more than 3 months!

After all, it takes time for the Bavarian Army to transfer from the northern route to the south. The Russians are not tofu. Although they are destined to be defeated, they will also be delayed for a while. After the battle, the Bavarian Army needs to rest and replenish, and is unable to cross the Dnieper River to advance east Ukraine.

By the time the Bavarian Army was ready, the Russians had already harvested the food of Eastern Ukraine. Then, winter was coming. At that time, the Russian winter would leave the Bavarian Army without any idea of ​​attacking! Well, at this point, Borusinov’s plan has been achieved. The Russians can use half of Ukraine’s grain and coal mines in the Donetsk region to barely last until next year. As for how the annual meeting will be explained? This is really not something Borusinov can consider. All he can do is to let Russia survive this winter However, the problem now is that neither the Austrian Army nor the Bavarian Army has attacked. It was a sign that the Austrian Legion in the middle was just guarding its own door tightly, preventing the Russian Legion from breaking through to the north, while the Bavarian Legion appeared to be motionless on the surface.

The bait made by the Russians with hundreds of thousands of troops seems to be insufficient to attract the attention of the other party. This is difficult to understand in Borusinov's view, and even a little scared! Because, at this time, the Austrian and Bavarian legions were like a boxer with a clenched fist. He did not rush to shoot because of the flaws exposed by the opponent. But waiting for the opportunity, ready to give the opponent a harder punch!

And where is the aim of this punch? This can be understood with the knees! The opponent may still be preparing to cross the river and let Eastern Ukraine launch an offensive! It may not be possible to attack in a short period of time due to insufficient preparations, but it is certain that before the Russians rebuild their strength, the offensive of the Bavarian Legion will be launched in advance. At that time, even if they retain hundreds of thousands of troops to the entire Russia The meaning is also very limited, because there is no food.... This Russia will be over. Does it make sense to keep this army?
