According to the intelligence, this is four infantry divisions equipped with a large number of artillery! In order to ensure that the Germans have a strong firepower advantage, Hindenburg gritted his teeth and pulled out two self-propelled artillery brigades from the ninth regiment again, and the total force was approaching 100,000!
Kaledin is a little pale for the Austro-Hungarian Army, but he can’t underestimate the German Army, which is a very powerful force. At one time, the western front beat the French army and couldn’t find a tank division on the northern eastern front, so he killed a whole cavalry regiment and went belly up and fled everywhere!
Now I’m going to be persecuted by the Germans!
"Immediately send an urgent request to General Kornilov to urgently send an army to help the ninth regiment. Once we are encircled by the other troops, we will be in danger!"
Kaledin urgently ordered that he had another way, that is, to retreat to the northeast and give up his station to avoid fighting, but this foot is Russian territory. If he retreats without fighting in the face of the persecution of the Austro-Hungarian army, Nicholas II will tear himself alive!
Now kaledin also has crustily skin of head!
The newspaper soon reached Kornilov’s hand. At this time, Kornilov didn’t find anything. He found that the Germans moved four infantry divisions to detour into the southeast and completely fooled the Russian main force
Kornilov got the newspaper and cried the ninth regiment. That’s guarding the southwest gate of Russia. Once there is a situation, the Austro-Hungarian army can March in! When did the Germans actually rush?
"Order Toyevich to immediately lead all cavalry regiments to rush to the ninth legion!"
Kornilov growled, this time must be fast. If it is too late, the ninth regiment will be in danger. Maybe there is a cavalry regiment!
The other side didn’t send a tank division, otherwise it would be useless for the cavalry to go. The tank division is the natural nemesis of the cavalry!
Vyrikov, the chief of general staff, hurriedly said, "General Kornilov, we are facing the main force of the German army on the Eastern Front. It is really not appropriate to divide our troops!"
Kornilov drink a way "confused! At present, there are not many people in the main force of the German army. There are only twelve infantry divisions and four artillery divisions in the ninth regiment of the German army. Now, four infantry divisions have emerged in a grand style, and their strength is even weaker. What are we worried about? Moreover, there are tank divisions eyeing here, even if the cavalry regiment stays here, it will not be able to play anything. It is better to send the ninth regiment to help, so that it can send a field! "
Vyrikov was about to speak when Kornilov went on to say, "And now that the German army has transferred four or five divisions, the strength is seriously weakened again. It’s time for us to launch an attack on the eastern front! Order all artillery divisions and infantry divisions to press me to attack the German fortress and be sure to defeat it. This is our only chance! "
Vyrikov’s mind was a little worried. Kornilov said it was right. That’s it. We must attack again when the German defense is weakest!
Got Kornilov’s order, Tojevich ordered ten cavalry divisions, they nest, to rush toward the southeast. The distance from here to the ninth regiment is more than 200 kilometers, and it takes two days for even cavalry to run long-distance Mercedes-Benz horses, even if they are excellent.
As soon as the cavalry regiment set out for Kornilov, it reached the order of launching an attack. Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops once again launched a sharp offensive against the German defense line, and the two sides fought together again!
However, no one found that the tank division also set off at the moment when the cavalry regiment set off! The cavalry division has a fast impact speed, but the tank division has a strong endurance. The tank division can travel more than 200 kilometers a day and one night! Even if you take a detour, you can definitely stop the cavalry regiment halfway. What’s worse, there are still a lot of Germans waiting for the cavalry regiment ahead!
One day, the cavalry regiment ran out of more than 100 kilometers, but just at noon the next day, the cavalry regiment could no longer move forward, not because the cavalry had no strength, but because there was a war on the other side!
Four German divisions plus two artillery brigades lined up in front of the cavalry regiment and began to launch a fierce offensive against the Cossack cavalry regiment! Artillery heavy machine guns will block the road ahead!
But Kornilov didn’t panic at all. It’s just four German infantry divisions. It’s just a whole ten cavalry divisions. Even a few * * wars have caused considerable casualties in cavalry regiments. There are still more than 100,000 troops, and the other side is only less than 100,000!
Afraid of him coming!
Chapter one thousand one hundred and sixty-nine Cossack fall
If there were no tank divisions, Tojevich would not be afraid of his opponents, even in the face of the most powerful Germans. Cossack cavalry came and went like the wind. Although the Germans were strong, they might not be able to stand them worse. The strength of the two sides was only a few differences, but the Cossack speed was fast enough!
However, in the face of Cossack cavalry, the Germans were ready. As soon as they arrived at the position, the Germans began to pull their own fronts. At the same time, the artillery brigades of the two-wing infantry divisions began to come towards the Cossack cavalry, forming a huge arc in an attempt to pocket the Russian military department!
The two sides started a fierce battle on the battlefield. If the cavalry regiment wants to threaten the German infantry division, it must rely on strong impact to get close to the German army for a short time. At the very least, their guns can be used. However, the German artillery fire and heavy machine guns are really fierce. Even the Cossack cavalry can’t beat the bullets to deal with the Austro-Hungarian army, but those people are all holding old single-shot rifles, and even the ancient matchlock guns are slow to death. But the Germans are all advanced rifles with fast firing speed, high accuracy and high power. The powerful firepower will force the Cossack cavalry to stop at the root and successfully assault the front! Teams of cavalry were directly screened by fierce heavy machine gun fire. In less than an hour, at least thousands of cavalry died and charged the road!
Towyevich immediately made four cavalry divisions on the two wings begin to attack obliquely in an attempt to jump out of the German artillery range and detour to the German rear.
The four cavalry divisions began to run, and the cavalry was everywhere, covering the whole earth like a tornado and spinning towards the Germans! However, the cavalry division attacked in two directions, and the German infantry division began to extend in two directions. The only purpose was to stop the cavalry division from penetrating from both sides. If the cavalry division once entered the back of the German army, the German army would be miserable. Once the cavalry approached the infantry carefully, there would definitely be huge casualties!
The battlefields between the two sides began to fight with wits. Although the casualties of the cavalry corps continued to rise, several tactical circuitous tactics also brought great threats to the Germans. Both sides could be damaged. They fought from noon until dusk, and neither side was able to win or lose.
But the loser will come after all.
As night fell slowly, the tank division finally arrived and sent out directly from the oblique thorn to block the Cossack cavalry regiment. Immediately after the fire opened, the Cossack launched another onslaught on the cavalry regiment. This time, however, the Cossack suffered a big loss. Toyevich was trying to deal with the German infantry in front. I didn’t expect that the tank division would suddenly kill the cavalry from behind at this time, and the cavalry would be stunned by a cannon fire!
"What’s the matter? What’s going on?"
A cavalry man cried in panic, "The general is not good! There is a tank behind him!"
Can’t help but these cavalry don’t panic. The shadow left by tanks in the first world war is too deep. The root method is to resist!
Tens of thousands of brothers left the battlefield forever in just one world war. Cossack warriors have never been so miserable. When Russia dispatched 100 thousand Cossack cavalry, it was almost never a failure on land. The only time was when it met tanks!
Tovojevich’s head grew bigger when he cried. Tank division? Aren’t they still in the German lair? How did you suddenly get here so quickly? You know, almost all the Russian main forces have been involved in the attack on the Germans, but that’s 500 thousand or 600 thousand troops!
At present, the German army has less than 300,000 troops there, and their generals dare to send out the tank division again! This courage is too big, isn’t it? What’s more, how can the tank division reach behind him so quickly? I have been on my way all the time. I ran out for nearly 200 kilometers a day and a night! How on earth did they chase us? Is there an army in this world that can run faster than our Cossack cavalry?
But now the tank division has to believe it behind itself! At the same time, 300 tanks directly launched a charge against the cavalry regiment, and the steel torrent directly crushed it against the cavalry regiment. It was the same tactic, but it was such a simple tactic that the Toyevich cavalry regiment method was cracked!
At one time, the cavalry regiment was able to get away with it because there were no obstacles in all directions in the deep wilderness, so it was enough to let go of the retreat and escape, but this time it was different. If you want to run, you should ask the four German infantry divisions on the other side if they would do it!
Now that the arc of the German army is becoming more and more obvious, almost the entire Cossack cavalry has been wrapped in it. The German army has caught the Russian army and can’t move. It can’t watch the German tanks getting closer and closer, compressing the encirclement step by step and squeezing the cavalry towards the opposite German infantry!
No, you must not wait and die!
At this time, it is better to charge the tank division than to die and charge the German infantry regiment. The two artillery brigades were released by the Germans to attack the cavalry.
Now you can assault on both sides, although it is a bit difficult, but there is always a possibility!
