Chapter 1518 Dying Struggle 4
According to the current situation, Austria can obtain at least 30,000 to 40,000 square kilometers of land from Russian Poland, and at least one-third of Belarus. These places are already no less than Romania, but this is just the beginning. Moldova and most of Ukraine in later generations will divide Bavaria and Austria equally! And if Hungary can't show enough value, then Austria can get at least 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 him?
And it is precisely because of this that Borusinov can be sure that the opponent will fight a war of attrition with him in a shallow position! There is also a reason for launching multi-point attacks at the same time instead of concentrating forces to break through 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 positions. (What? You said to break through the Bavarian Army's position? This? Just think about it.) Another point is to let the Hungarians not know where the main attack direction of the Russian army is, so as to block leaks everywhere and cause chaos in their own system. Create conditions for the second phase of the Russian assault!
War is a game in which fewer mistakes can be made. If the direction of attack is wrongly judged and the place that should be blocked is not blocked, then failure is not far away. Test the opponent's position through multi-point attacks, and then find out Weakness, one shot to death, is the essence of Borusinov's battle!
After going through the large-scale battle of attrition between the infantry of both sides in the first stage, the losses of both sides should be huge, and the front line should also be battered with holes. At this time, the Russians' ultimate move came! The 100,000 cavalry is the killer and the key to this battle! If it is a positional battle, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry unit is not as good as that of the infantry. After all, the cavalry lacks heavy weapon support. sharp blade!
And Borusinov is using this sharp blade to expand the results of the battle! The Russians had limited forces and insufficient equipment, so they couldn't penetrate the opponent's positions while encircling the opponent like the Bavarian Army, but it didn't matter, Ukraine's poor infrastructure made 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 rather than a hold, the retreating 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 blocked, the collapsed Hungarian army will be exhausted without fighting!
As for the other party's support? If the Bavarian Army is in the middle, close to the Hungarian Army, then Borusinov will have to worry about it, but now, the Bavarian Army is in northern Ukraine and Belarus, and the distance is hundreds of kilometers. It is really uncertain how long it will take to complete the course under bad road conditions, and in the dark, Borusinov feels that Bavaria does not seem to be interested in the casualties of the Hungarian army!
As for concentrating firepower,
Needless to say, this is adhering to the consistent Russian cold-bloodedness, and casualties are not a big deal, as long as the weapons can stay... However, now, in order to ensure that the output of the main assault point is sufficient and the number of light artillery of the cavalry is sufficient, Borusinov does not mind letting most of the troops break through the opponent's defense line with blood and light weapons.
However, this kind of concentrated firepower certainly has advantages, but its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the lack of flexibility in fire support, which was reflected in the Second World War in history. The guns are perfect, but their artillery maneuvers are still dull, and the artillery units can only move according to the predetermined route. If they leave, then the supply will be very problematic. And the so-called Soviet army's tens of thousands of artillery fires, the firepower density is super high, isn't it right? Makes sense, but it depends on the situation!
The firepower of the Soviet army is mainly reflected in the destruction of the world when it breaks through the opponent's position. However, if you want to say how much artillery can be used on the front line after penetrating into the opponent's position for tens of kilometers or more than 100 kilometers in the battle, it is hard to say up. A division of the U.S. Army consumes about 600 tons of materials a day, while a unit of the same level of the Soviet Army consumes more than 300 tons a day. The difference can also be seen from the degree of material consumption. In addition to the consumption of front-line combat troops, a considerable part of the consumption is actually the cost of troop mobility!
(In fact, the German army is also weak, and the mobility of troops is also quite dependent on mules and horses. It seems that there is no fully mechanized army in the German army. There are more or less horses in each army logistics unit.)
Therefore, as the plan was finally knocked out, more than 400,000 Russian front-line troops were deployed along a 500-kilometer-long front, and a large number of troops began to be transferred from the northern line to the south, which was originally used to undertake transportation tasks in the direction of Moscow and St. Petersburg. More vehicles have also begun to be transferred to the front line. On the vast Ukrainian plains, streams of people and vehicles are like blood vessels, transporting tens of thousands of tons of supplies and hundreds of thousands of troops to the front line.
At this moment, Russia, which had been seriously injured, was like a giant struggling before dying. Start forcing yourself to continue your life! You can say that he is returning to the light, or that he is dying, but it is undeniable that, as a great power, the power of this attack is still very terrifying!
However, while the Russian army commanded by Borusinov was carefully preparing for the Borusinov offensive on this plane, the Allies were not idle. Prince Leopold, who commanded the Bavarian and Bohemian Army in the direction of Ukraine-Belarus, is planning how to cross the Dnieper River. Konrad, the Austrian Chief of Staff who commanded the Austrian Army, was also preparing to follow after the Bavarian Army broke through the Dnieper. And what about the Hungarians? At present, they are fighting with the Russians north of the Dnieper River. But even they waited for the nominal three divisions of the Prussian army!
And the general commanding this army is also a celebrity! This is Lieutenant General Hans von Seeckert, who is known as the father of the "100,000 Wehrmacht" during the Weimar period and once served as the head of the German military delegation during the Republic of China. At this time, under his leadership, this army had crossed the border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and entered the territory of Ukraine, and here, he saw his friendly army!
