Holy Roman Empire

After learning that he was abandoned, Opodo was in a bad situation.I greeted the family of Ivanov over and over again in my heart, but I had to make sure that I was confident in the face to appease the army.

Now that the matter is over, no matter how unwilling in his heart, Opodo can only fight with his enemies.

Surrender is impossible. His foundation is all in Russia, and his wife, children, children, and children are still waiting for him to reunite.

Not only did he have no choice, all senior leaders of the Fourth Army were the same.Either block the enemy's attack and drag the reinforcements to arrive; or die in battle and cover up the mistakes with blood donation.

Under the strong desire to survive, people can always explode into superpowers.

The senior level of the Fourth Army has now begun to explode. In order to stabilize the military officers who were high in the past, all the soldiers greeted the troops one after another and kept close to the front to encourage morale.

In order to save food, Opodo ordered to cancel the officer canteen, and all officers and soldiers dine together.Etiquette is inferior and humble, and it does not matter in the face of survival.

The officers could not understand it. Now the airdropped supplies are all of a uniform standard, all are high-calorie foods from the soldiers, and there are no officer packages at all.

Everyone knows that this private action offended Marshal Ivanov, and no one dared to hit the report at this time.

Due to the limited airship capacity, weapons and ammunition have to be transported.In order to save capacity, the food delivered is meat except compressed biscuits.

This time the Russian military's standards of military supplies were moved closer to the British Army, with beef jerky and biscuits as the mainstay and a small amount of canned fish, as if the meat was suddenly worthless overnight.

Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, and biting the beef jerky hard, Oporto vowed that he had never eaten such junk food.

It was really impossible to eat. Opodo opened the canned fish and read the text on the label to know that it was produced in Austria.If nothing goes wrong, it should be the cheapest freshwater fish.

This is a characteristic of Europe. Affected by industrial development, rivers are seriously polluted, and many people do not eat freshwater fish.When there are fewer eaters, it is naturally worthless.

This cheap raw material has become the favorite of capitalists.As long as it is processed into canned food, who knows where these fish come from?

"The water is polluted and the fish has problems."As long as there is no immediate food poisoning, latent harm is not a big deal at all.

Especially for those exported to the Russian army, the quality is not guaranteed. Many unscrupulous merchants are mixed with cheap potato flour, and the fish meat is only a small part.

So many shortcomings are still favored by the purchasing department of the tsarist government for one reason-cheap.

Not only canned fish, but beef jerky and compressed biscuits purchased by the Russians are the cheapest products.

Cheap is not good, since it is the cheapest commodity, the quality will naturally not be guaranteed.

Tolerating the discomfort, Oporto ate canned fish. As for the beef jerky, he would leave it to someone with better teeth. He was blessed.

Although the taste of canned fish is not so good, it is commendable.The fish meat processed into cans has been specially treated, and the fish bones and bones can be eaten directly.

The time on the battlefield does not wait for others, and slowly removing the fishbone is definitely out of place.In line with the principle that customers are God, capitalists naturally have to meet this reasonable requirement.

Chemical treatment, bones and thorns can be eaten.The sequelae do not matter, as long as the person eats within a short period of time without problems.

Just wanting to rest for a while, a young officer broke into the headquarters and came to Huihui to report: "General, the enemy launched an offensive again, and the 41st Division requested fire support."

Looking at the combat map, Oporto frowned and asked, "Aren't they sent an artillery regiment, why do they need firepower support?"

The young officer explained: "The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and our artillery is completely suppressed, so ..."

After he finished speaking, Opodo waved to stop: "Okay, tell the 41st Division to find a way. I don't have artillery to reinforce them now.

The enemy's firepower is too fierce, then hide first.It's a very special time now, don't be idle at night, you can divide some soldiers to dig anti-blast holes.

When the enemy rushed up, they tried to bayonet with them.Now that we are under siege, we certainly can't beat the enemy in firepower, but we can fear less death than them."

The plain area is not good at this point. If you want to seize the favorable terrain, you ca n’t get it.If a small earth bag 180 to 80 meters high is also considered a mountain, the Fourth Army is now also surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Opodo can be sure that the enemy is not willing to work hard with them, otherwise the attack will not be so small.

A piecemeal offensive, constantly killing their military morale and strategic materials, and finally forcing them to surrender is normal operation.

If the Fourth Army was annihilated and 100,000 or 80,000 casualties were paid, the General Army won and lost.

...

At the General Command, Mao Qi dragged his head with one hand and fell into contemplation.

The plan did not change quickly. Originally, I wanted to use the Fourth Army as a bait to attract the main force of the Russian army to implement the siege plan. I did not expect the Russians to be fooled at all.

As a result, the Russian Fourth Army became a problem, holding down a large number of troops of the general army and making them unable to retreat.

If you attacked the Fourth Army from the beginning without giving them a chance to camp, they would have solved the problem now.

There was no if on the battlefield, which misjudged the importance of the Fourth Army to the Russians and underestimated Ivanov ’s determination. This bitter fruit could only be swallowed by Mao Qi himself.

The Battle of East Prussia has already started, the Battle of the South is about to erupt, and the Warsaw Battle has actually started.

The Russian army launched an offensive from both sides of the northeast. Because the Russian Fourth Army contained a large number of troops, the Warsaw battlefield could only stick to it.

The phone's drip sounded, awakening Mao Qi in contemplation, picked up the microphone and placed it in his mouth and shouted: "I am Mao Qi, what's the matter?"

A hoarse voice came: "Marshal, the seventh division commander Winslet reports to you. The enemies on the north suddenly increased the intensity of our offense, and our defense line is in jeopardy, asking for support."

It is unrealistic for a division to block an army itself, not to mention the super-sized army of the Russians, it is even more impossible.

The crisis of defense is inevitable. The Seventh Division was able to block the enemy for three days before asking for help. It has performed very well.

Mao Qi frowned: "Major General Winslet, the eleventh division will come over to take over your defense tomorrow, and will you continue to have problems for another day?"

There was a silence on the other side of the phone, and the hoarse voice rang again after half a bell: "No problem, Marshal!"

The tone is heavy, as if the decision was made after a hard struggle.

After hanging up the phone, Mao Qi told an officer not far away: "Immediately generate electricity for General Hansgrohe, so that he must eat the Russian Fourth Army within a week.

Tell him that the fish on the north has been hooked, don't delay the time for a bird in the cage, and then run away."

The trapped beasts are still fighting, not to mention humans?

Knowing that now is the time when the enemy's resistance is fiercest, Mao Qi can only make this order.Remaining where the Russian Fourth Army is dragging, the Warsaw battlefield will have problems.

Do n’t look at the fact that the Commonwealth of Pope has established a perfect line of defense in Warsaw, but a strong line of defense also needs someone to guard.

Moreover, Mao Qi was not trying to defend Warsaw, but wanted to reinvent the Russian army on the Warsaw battlefield. This demand for troops was even greater.

In order to siege the Fourth Army, the General Army invested nearly 600,000 troops. It was originally intended to siege aid. Now that the enemy ’s reinforcements are not coming, it will be of no value to drag on.

Although it is known that this order will be issued, the front line will suffer heavy losses, but for the overall situation on the battlefield, these sacrifices are necessary.

The grim situation told him that the Warsaw battle must be quick and fast, and the Berlin government needs a big victory to pull allies on board, even if it is a big victory with heavy casualties.

"Yes, Marshal!" The young officer replied
