Chapter 1527 Borusinov Offensive Three
Chapter 1527 Borusinov Offensive 3
The sad situation does not stop there, not only in the middle of the front of the Hungarian Legion, but also on the third day after the Russian general offensive, there were already four gaps in the front. The northernmost point, the connection between the Hungarian Army and the Austrian Army, was not captured for a simple reason. It was not that the Hungarians blocked the opponent's attack, but that the Austrians next to them discovered that the Hungarians had retreated. In order to ensure the safety of their flanks, they launched launched a counterattack against the Russians.
The two sides fought so hard that the Russians' sabers split the Hungarian shields. But then it was blocked by the hand and half sword of the Austrian, and the former was very powerful (there are many people). The latter is well equipped (well equipped). After 2 days of fighting, the Russians failed to take a step forward, nor did they take a step back. It was not until the third day that an armored battalion of the Bohemian Army arrived and successfully drove the Russians out of the position. The line of defense was covered and the flanks of the Austrian Army were covered.
However, local stability cannot change the overall decline. There is no doubt that on the third day after the Borusinov offensive began, the entire defense line was riddled with holes. Grand Duke Karl was dumbfounded, and a kind of Hungarian also felt incomprehensible. This year, the Russians have lost at least 1.6 million troops. How can they still fight so much now? !
"At this time, we can't evacuate, we can't leave the line of defense that has been built for nearly two months, otherwise, we will face endless pursuit and killing of the Russians on the plains of Ukraine!"
At the critical moment, General von Seeckert showed excellent strategic vision. The order he issued is the same as the order that mustache gave to the German army in the winter of 40 years in the 2nd World War in history. There is still a way out for defense, at least for some troops. If you turn around and run, no one will be able to run away! After all, no matter how fast you run, you can't outrun the opponent's cavalry!
In this battle, the Hungarians are bound to lose a lot! There is no way, the defense is insufficient, and Russia has an absolute advantage, but if some troops can be sacrificed, hold on at key support points, buy time for other troops, and withdraw a certain distance to regroup the front, then there is still something to do. After all, with the pace of the Russian army's offensive, the Russian elite was also being consumed, and the supply line was also stretched very long. If the Hungarians counterattacked again at that time, they might not be able to get some back.
However, it is a pity that no one here agrees with General von Seekert's point of view! Even in all the Hungarian army, no one is willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation and their comrades. They pursue the thinking of wildebeest being hunted by lions on the grassland. The situation is like this, the Russians are more fierce than the lions, as long as the lions can eat enough, they will not take the initiative to hunt, but the Russians hold the idea of taking their opponents in one pot!
"General Sektor, obviously, this time,
The Russians have concentrated a large number of troops, and it is difficult for us to resist. Therefore, our best way at present is to shrink the defense line, but seek assistance from friendly forces from the north. We have already sent a telegram to General Conrad. Reinforcements are expected to arrive soon Come on, as for Prince Leopold? I hope you can explain the current situation to the prince. "A Hungarian general said to Lieutenant General Seekert.
"Fuck, aren't you retreating and shrinking the line of defense? You are running away!" Seckert was a little messy. As for asking for assistance from the Austrian and Bavarian legions? Well, let’s not talk about Austria, I don’t understand, just talk about the Bavarian Army, they want to reach the southern line, even if they want to reach the southern line on the map, use a ruler to measure, and walk a straight line, they have to walk about 600 to 800 kilometers away! Let the Bavarian Army walk directly from Belarus and Northern Ukraine to the Black Sea? Fortunately, you can figure it out! This TM troop hasn't come yet, and the bones on my side have been gnawed away!
Besides, can I get in touch with Prince Leopold? Two months ago, I was only a major general. Because I came to the Eastern Front, I was promoted to a lieutenant general. This kind of lieutenant general who can't even command an army is in the field of German Reichsmarshal, Bavarian Marshal, winner of the Grand Iron Cross— —What counts in the eyes of Prince Leopold? And you send telegrams to people? The telegram might have been intercepted directly in the hands of the Chief of Staff. Prince Leopold might not have seen it at all.
And the biggest problem is that there is nothing wrong with the prince doing this. Seekert's troops are for Grand Duke Karl, which is the order of battle of the Hungarian Legion, and has nothing to do with Prince Leopold! Whether people ignore you depends entirely on your mood!
And to be honest, the Hungarians have been talking bad things about Bavaria and Austria before, but now they can't stop them, and they just ask for help... For this kind of person, General von Seckert has always been quite conflicted in his heart! This TM is a bit shameless!
The result of the meeting was destined to break up unhappy, the Hungarians began to prepare to run away, and General von Seekert had to consider how to save the lives of the 70,000 German troops who followed him to the Eastern Front!
"I ordered all troops to approach General Bock immediately, and at the same time send all non-combat troops to immediately collect food, ammunition and supplies. We must prepare for a long-term battle!"
"When necessary, we can expropriate those things that the Hungarians can't take away. In short, we will strengthen our strength at all costs! In addition, we will use all means to contact Bavaria. We need their assistance, and the Austrians can too. That's it." Thinking of this, General von Seeckert couldn't help but sighed.
Because he really has no idea whether Bavaria is willing to help him. In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there are still some inconvenient issues to bring to the table, but they are also very troublesome issues. Composition, more than half of the officers have some opinions on Bavaria. In fact, the Kaiser sent this army to support Archduke Karl and limit the influence of Bavaria in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so the officers sent were naturally such people...
Especially his number one subordinate General Bock, this buddy had some complaints about Bavaria's overpowering. And more importantly, his mother is Falkenhayn's sister, and he is Falkenhayn's nephew. Everyone knows what Falkenhayn did before, and Bavaria may not harm people like this, but It's hard to say whether to pull you or not! Especially in the current situation, when it is inconvenient to pull people...
