697 Little Fish

The sudden decisive battle not only disrupted the layout of the Vienna government, but also broke the British plan.

This world will always be "the icing on the cake is easy, and it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow."Pu Russia has started a decisive battle, and the London government is too late to help them pull allies.

Increasing pros and cons is a human instinct, and international political diplomacy is no exception. After all, it is people who determine political diplomacy.

Whether it is the countries of Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire, or the German Federation, this time will choose to wait and see the situation.

If the Pupo Federation fails in the battle, the war will end early. The Berlin government is unable to organize a second battle, and the Russians will not give them time.

At that point, even if these potential allies are added together, it is not enough for the Russians to beat it.

If the Russians are defeated, there is no need to say that the war will continue. It is just that the strength and weakness are transposed and the war initiative is reversed.

Everyone doesn't mind selling icing on the cake to the British, like the first Russian-Russian war, pounced to tear off a piece of meat from the Russians.

No, the German Federation is an exception.

George I did not dare to accept the Pope Federation after the victory. Although there were few cases of usurpation in Europe, the system of imperial elections such as the "Comedy Empire" was an exception.

Of course, if Pupo won this battle, the British would not push Pude to merge.What the London government needs is a piece to check Austria, not to train a competitor.

...

As the battlefield moves westward, winter is no longer icy and snowy, which poses another challenge to Russia's logistics system.It can be seen from the deployment of the Russian army.

The southern line is closely attached to the Austrian operation, which is convenient for supplying nearby; the northern line has marine supplies, which can be transported from St. Petersburg, and can also be purchased from the Nordic Federation; the Warsaw battlefield also has the Vistula and Narew rivers, which can be transported by water .

However, the Narew River is mainly snow water, and the annual navigation time is limited. It will freeze in two months. Naturally, if the upstream is broken, the downstream cannot be expected.

Ivanov has always opposed the initiation of the Warsaw Battle, and has also considered factors in this regard.If it was not for the Vistula River to be in control, even if the Fourth Army stuffed in, he would not launch troops.

In this respect, the Russian army is more rational than in the first Russian-Russian war. It sent troops without taking it for granted, making the frontline soldiers hungry.

It takes time to mobilize troops, especially the mobilization of millions of troops.

"Binggui speed" is obviously not applicable here, it is not that the soldiers do not work hard, the key is to march with heavy supplies, and can't get up quickly.

In this respect, the local army has an absolute advantage. The railway built by the Berlin government can play a role, and Mao Qi took the lead in completing the deployment of troops.

General Military Command, looking at the marching route marked on the map, Mao Qi sighed.

Ivanov is the same Ivanov he is familiar with, and he has used his steady words to the extreme. Except for the fourth army that has greedy merits, the troops behind them are all walking by. Thirty miles.

An urgent march is just a morning effort. In such a short period of time, even if he wants to do something, it is difficult.

"Send all our cavalry to transform into small units to invade the enemy and delay the marching speed of other units of the enemy, but do not engage the enemy."

After a pause, Mao Qi added: "Don't worry about the enemy's fourth army that has been sent to the door, let them in first.

The seventh and eighth divisions were ordered to misunderstand from the right wing; the fifth and seventh divisions were ordered to assemble immediately, and I will take the lead of the Russians first."

Can not swallow the main force of the Russian army, it is also a good choice to eat the vanguard first.This is the limit of the mobile force in Mao Qi's hands.

War is no more than who made mistakes. Since the Russians made mistakes, Mao Qi naturally cannot let go.

Facts once again proved that running fast on the battlefield is not necessarily a good thing.In case teammates fail to keep up, they will be tested by blood and fire.

The Russian Fourth Army, which has acted in advance, will now be tested.It seems that they only set off two days in advance, and the march is not very fast. In fact, they have staggered at least five days with their teammates.

It takes time for the general command to make decisions, and it takes time for orders to be communicated. It takes even more time for the troops to assemble from operation to operation.

Five days is enough to change a lot of things.Even though the march of the Fourth Army was not fast, the nearest Russian army was pulled more than 130 kilometers away.

Once the war broke out at this distance, even if the surrounding Russian troops tried their best to rescue them, it would be two days later.

In fact, this only exists in theory.Troops that marched more than 130 kilometers within two days existed, but only if they discarded their heavy and heavy weapons.

Without these possessions, and dragging on the exhausted body, the combat effectiveness of the troops was directly lost by half.Not to mention rescue, if you don't do it, you are all here to give people away.

No, the Russian cavalry will certainly be able to do it. It does not take two days, just one day is enough.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that Lieutenant General Opodo dared to venture into Warsaw.

Anyway, the early decisive battle is the demand of many people in the country. As the initiator of the battle, Opporto has acquired a large number of favors innately.

If we make further achievements, it will be a matter of course to replace Ivanov as the spokesman of the Russian military in the future.

"risk"?

What is the risk of doing this year?The Fourth Army is strong and strong. With their strength, they can still stick to the ground and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

In the continuous victory on the battlefield, the savory General Obodo had already drifted away, and he did not take the enemy's eyes at all.

There are many similar views in the Russian army. Many people believe that the enemy won the last war entirely by chance, and happened to catch up with the Russian army when it was the weakest.

Now that the Tsarist government has cleaned up the moths in the army and replaced them with this wave of generals who use their troops like gods, how could they not win?

...

In the early morning, there was just a glimmer of light on the horizon, and there was some confused General Lieutenant Obo just after getting up. There was a faint sound of artillery fire in his ear.

In the end, it was a general in the army, which immediately aroused the alert of Obodo. Without waiting to figure out what was going on, the guard hurried over.

"General, our army's vanguard and the enemy encountered an encounter and requested fire support."

"How come the enemy is so fast?"

As soon as the words landed, Opodo realized that he had lost his gaze. This question was simply not answered by the guards.

"Order the artillery to provide them with fire support and notify the officers to come over for a meeting and I will deploy combat missions."

The enemy did not intercept along the way, and now they are almost at the door of Warsaw. When the enemy suddenly appears, it will naturally not just stop.

Since he dares to take risks, Obodo is naturally not a war-fearing person.If it were really waste, he could not hide the command headquarters and take the Fourth Army with him.

The Russian army also has checks and balances, and only strong officers can fully control the troops.The army is a place that believes in the strong, and if you want to be strong, you must have "battle merit."

If there is no convincing ability and military achievements, and has a deep control over the troops, it is estimated that Opodo just flew to the headquarters after the operation.

...

The brutal battle began, and Opodo guessed the beginning, but did not guess the ending.

The speed of the general army was much faster than he expected. Before waiting for the reaction, it fell into a circle of encirclement.

From the outbreak of fighting to the appearance of the encirclement, the enemy only took less than two days.Obviously, the enemy is already prepared, otherwise it will not be so fast.

Whether or not to break through has become the biggest problem before Opodo.

A bearded officer said excitedly: "General, you can't withdraw now. The enemy is obviously well prepared. Once you choose to break through, you will lose a lot.

Our operation was a self-assertion. In the event that the troops suffered heavy losses, we must return to the military court.

Rather than squatting in prison, I would rather die on the battlefield, the battlefield is the home of the soldiers!

Moreover, the situation is not so bad. Fortunately, we have hundreds of thousands of troops, and the enemy ca n’t eat them in a short time.

It is better to defend on the spot, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and give the enemy a center to bloom!"

The "military court" is the key to the problem.It is not a crime to make your own claims on the battlefield. Everything has to wait for the order of the headquarters. How can you grasp the fighter?

The self-assertion has defeated the battle again, and that is the great sin.All the responsibilities must be carried on their backs, and they can't find the object even if they dump the pot.

Opodo knew that the encirclement of the enemy must be flawed. Now he ordered the breakout to be able to run at least half of the troops, but as the highest commander, he was finished.

Not only was he unlucky, but all senior officers of the Fourth Army must be unlucky.Whether you can go to the military court depends on your luck. If you fail, Ivanov will be used as a model, and you will be given a sudden.

After analyzing the situation at the moment, Opodo found helplessly, and now he ordered to break through and he was dead.Not only do you die, the family will also be ashamed.

Staying there is also a crisis in which the enemy is clearly prepared. The possibility that they will be able to wait for reinforcements is very low.

The reinforcements arrived in a week, which was ideal.The closest unit to the Fourth Army is indeed only more than 100 kilometers. The cavalry can also be on the way, but there are hundreds of kilometers away.

If you want to get rid of them, you can't do it with a small number of troops. You must mobilize a large army, otherwise it is a bun and a dog.

It took time to gather troops and intercept the enemy halfway, and the fourth army lacked the most time.

"Order the troops to stay on hold and send a telegram of assistance to the headquarters every day from now on. Remember to pay attention to the wording and highlight the seriousness of the problem."

After hesitating again and again, Opodo decided to let go.Dead friends do not die poorly. In order to be alive, he had to use the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Fourth Army as chips.

It is better to bet on the battlefield than to be executed. The tsarist government is very tolerant of the dead.

If the debts of people die, as long as the battlefield is over, the previous things can be over.

If you win the bet, you will make a lot of money.Winners are not to blame, and the previous self-proclaimed claims have also become a random response on the battlefield to grasp fighters.

"Aura of Famous Generals" will automatically fall on his head, becoming another miracle in Russian military history for future generations to look forward to.
