Holy Roman Empire

After receiving the telegram from the Fourth Army, Ivanov was not good for the whole person.

Very obvious things, people with a little military knowledge know that if the lone army finds out that the situation is wrong, it should retreat immediately.

The Fourth Army did not take actions with combat missions, and was completely free to play.After discovering a large group of enemies, immediately adjust the speed of the march and maintain a safe distance from the enemy. Isn't it good to wait for the reinforcements to arrive?

Even afterwards, the Fourth Army can choose to break out and join the rear Russian army before the enemy encirclement is completed.

The Fourth Army has cavalry troops, it is impossible to find no trace of the enemy, and hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized, and it cannot be kept secret at all.

Ivanov received news of the movement of the generals in the rear, but the time was a little late, and he hadn't had time to respond.

There was no radio this year, and the Fourth Army ’s request for assistance telegram was still sent to the 107th Division in the rear through the airship force, and then forwarded to the headquarters.

Obviously there was enough time, but he did not take action in time. Ivanov has always hated the generals such as Opodo who have no big picture.

The reason is also very clear to Ivanov. The Fourth Army acted privately. If it didn't have enough combat power, it would come back in vain, and the future of the commander such as Opodo was gone.

The prerequisite for waiting for an opportunity and grasping a fighter plane is that it must succeed. Failure is not a matter of grasping the fighter plane.

The competition within the Russian army is also very fierce. Once the stain appears, it is almost impossible to go further.

In addition, it is good luck to be able to retire prematurely if you act without permission.

For personal prospects, the commanders of the Fourth Army took the fluke and dragged them to the present.

This telegram for assistance seems to be plain, but in fact it is not without the meaning of dumping the pot. It is estimated that the Fourth Army and the whole army are expecting Ivanov to order them to retreat.

Anyone who understands the deployment of the Russian military knows that the Fourth Army is very important for the next Warsaw battle, and the Vistula River is also related to the logistics of the Russian Army.

"boom!"

Ivanov slapped the table sharply and scolded: "Ёбтвоюмать!"

"Пошёлнахуй!"

...

Listening to Ivanov's roar, everyone in the command was worried, fearing to catch fire.

After a full hour of cursing, Marshal Ivanov with a dry mouth stopped.He was really angry and had never seen such a boss.

After the Fourth Army is finished, it is difficult for the Russian Army to win the Warsaw Battle.From the military point of view, the situation on the front line is unknown, and the risk of sending troops to rescue is very high, and it is very likely to be aided by the enemy.

Ordering the Fourth Army to break through and preserve strength as much as possible is the best strategic choice.

However, this cannot be done in reality.In the position of Ivanov, soldiers must also consider politics.

The Fourth Army was ordered to retreat, and in case the troops suffered heavy losses, this responsibility was his part.

Looking at Opado's sao operation, there are definitely some people behind. This opportunity has emerged. These people tinkered and buckled the black pot on Ivanov.

Whether politics is right or wrong, only the pros and cons are discussed.Do n’t expect opponents to be merciful. Politicians ’bottom line is never the lowest, only lower.

After calming down, Ivanov's brow furrowed tighter.Looking at the map, thinking about the true purpose of the enemy.

The Fourth Army is of great importance to the Warsaw Battle, but for the entire Russian-Russian war, it is also the case.When the fighting was fierce, the Russian army lost more than a hundred thousand a month.

If I could win the war, I would not blink at the expense of the Fourth Army Ivanov.

After pondering for a while, Ivanov approached the combat staff and asked, "Where has our nearest army to the Fourth Army gone?"

The war staff replied anxiously: "The closest is the 107th Division of the Ninth Army, now staying in the Radom area; followed by the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army, but they are north of Warsaw and there is no way to go reinforce."

Ivanov's brows grew tighter, and a division's troops were transferred to reinforce reinforcements, and it was estimated that they were eaten up by the enemy halfway through.

If you want to clear the Fourth Army, you need to put in at least one army. Unless you are transferring the troops that are carrying out the South Route Strategy, no other troops will be able to catch up in a short time.

After looking at the distribution of the Russian troops on the map, Ivanov shook his head. In order to rescue the Fourth Army, he gave up the southern battle, which was totally out of strategy.

The southern battle can get supplies from Austria, with the least logistical pressure.As long as the enemy's defense line is broken, whether it is to attack Berlin west or capture Poznan north, it is very tempting.

After taking Berlin, the Pupo Federation was finished; Poznan was captured and the enemy ’s connection with the rear was cut off, and the general army in Warsaw became a lone army.

After pondering for a while, Ivanov said slowly: "Order the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Army to immediately form the South Front.

The eighth army commander General Matilde served as commander, the ninth army commander General METTLER served as deputy commander, and the tenth army commander served as General Mourinho served as chief of staff.

Order them to complete the organization as soon as possible in the shortest possible time, and within a week I will receive news of the outbreak of the southern battle."

Very irregular personnel appointments, but special treatment in special periods.There is no level of the front army in the Russian military establishment. The front army is already the largest unit. The front army is only temporarily established during the war.

The main force of the enemy is in the Warsaw battlefield. The troops on the southern front are mostly second- and third-line troops. It is said that the southern front should actually fight separately.

It really takes at least a month to set up a headquarters for airborne troops and wait for them to clear the situation of the troops.

The soldiers on the battlefield are very fast, and a month is wasted, which is terrible.

Prior to this, the Russian army also had a southwestern front, but it was dismembered by Mao Qi in the winter battle last year and then disbanded.

With the passage of time, the strength of the Russian army has continued to expand. The strength of an army ranges from a few hundred thousand to more than 200,000, and it is fully equipped with the ability to fight alone, and the demand for establishing an army is not so great.

In the front, the Russian army was mainly defensive. Most of the time, it was Marshal Ivanov who directly commanded the large army. The delegation of the Fourth Army appeared to act without authorization.

Ivanov directly dispelled the idea of ​​forming a front army, and if it was not forced by the situation, he would not establish a front army.

You should know that the damage caused by military chaos in one aspect is much more serious than that of an army.

The freshly released South Front Army has very serious internal checks and balances. The three commanders also serve as front commanders, and no one wants to wantonly.

When fighting, they are commanded separately. They are all very familiar with the old army. They do n’t need running-in. They can explode their maximum fighting power in a short period of time.

As for side effects, Ivanov can't take it anymore.As long as the war can be won, no matter how big the problem is, it is a trivial matter.

After a pause, Ivanov added: "Order the Fifth and Seventh Army to attack the Warsaw area, let them control their rhythm, and do not repeat the old things of the Fourth Army. butt.

Houtf drafted a message to St. Petersburg, reporting on our combat plan and the personnel appointment just now."

Without mentioning the Fourth Army, it was clear that Marshal Ivanov was preparing to ignore them.Anyway, the Fourth Army took advantage of its own greed and acted arbitrarily without asking for instructions. Even if the whole army was wiped out, he would not be responsible.

A middle-aged officer asked daringly, "Marshal, what about the Fourth Army?"

Ivanov glared fiercely at him and replied very dissatisfiedly: "What should I do? What should I do, just do it!"

Isn't Oduardo's stupid self-proclaimed use of troops like gods?Now the opportunity for performance comes, as long as he can command the Fourth Army to defeat the General Army, all the problems have been solved!"

Defeat the general army?

Everyone has begun to mourn for the Fourth Army in their hearts.There is no doubt that this is an impossible task.

Seemingly realizing that he had lost his gaze, Ivanov sighed: "Order the Third and Sixth Corps in the rear to rescue, I hope that time will come.

Command the Fourth Army, let them make their own combat plans, and the reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible.

The airships were ordered to drop air supplies and generate electricity for St. Petersburg, so that they could get a batch of transport airships as soon as possible, preferably the Austrian Flying Eagle 4."

Do your best to obey the destiny.

This sentence appropriately summarizes Ivanov ’s order that the Third and Sixth Armys should be trimmed and supplemented in the rear. When they are assembled, they will rush to the front line.

If something happens again halfway, for example, if you encounter a general military blockade, you may not be able to catch up in a month.

There is only one way to go fast, and that is to send cavalry.It is a pity that the cavalry of the Russian army was dispersed to all the troops, otherwise it would be possible to try to rescue if you assembled more than 200,000 cavalry.

Of course, this only exists in an ideal state.With more than 1.2 million cavalry assembled, logistics alone can make people crumble.

Now the Fourth Army can only rely on itself, the airship short supplies are more like a kind of comfort.The Russian army has a total of dozens of transport airships, all of which are theoretically in operation and can put up to 40 to 50 tons of materials per day.

In fact, the average daily delivery of seven or eight tons of materials is considered a blessing from God.

Airships also require maintenance and repair, and an inspection is required after each flight, which consumes a lot of time.

In addition, the Russian airships are also scattered in various places, and the limited number of airships that can be assembled in the short term.We also have to consider bad weather. On average, we can put in seven or eight tons of materials every day, which is really not easy.

With such a small amount of supplies, it would be totally inadequate to supply the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops.However, if all the high-calorie foods are delivered, it will satisfy the soldiers' rations.
