Anti-Piracy Chapter ~~~! The second is more ~~~!

If we start from the offensive launched by the three armies in the southeast of Russia, the entire East Galicia campaign lasted as long as 45 days, and in these 45 days, the three Russian armies, including the reinforced army corps with a huge strength of 700,000 and the two and a half armies of the Austro-Hungarian Corps, and the 15 divisions of Bavaria and Prussia, which rushed to the battlefield one after another, totaled 620,000 people, and launched a battle with the highest technical level, the greatest consumption, and the most tragic battle in the history of the Eastern Front.

In this battle, the Russian Seventh Army and the Eighth Army were heavily damaged, the two armies lost a total of nearly 70 percent of the personnel and more than 80 percent of the heavy equipment, 350,000 wounded and captured personnel, the worst defeat in the history of the Russian army, and the two group armies at the beginning of the war had more than 1,500 artillery, self-propelled guns, and train guns after the end of the battle. The Russian Tenth Army, as the general reserve, also lost 4 divisions under the city of Covili, nearly 60,000 troops, which were beaten to pieces by Mackensen in three days.

The situation of the Russian Ninth Army, which had been fighting positional warfare with Prince Leopold, was better, but after all, there were 3 Bavarian divisions to assist in the defense, and after a major battle between the two sides, the Russians successfully retreated after throwing away nearly 50,000 casualties. Although the damage is a bit big, it is far from hurting the muscles and bones.

By the way, it is also necessary to mention the losses of the Russian Air Force, before the outbreak of this campaign, the Russian Air Force concentrated nearly 400 aircraft of various types, including nearly 60 Ilya 4-engine heavy bombers, and to the surprise of the prince, the Russians successively replenished about 150 aircraft after the start of the campaign, although it was not of much use. But the prince still wants to know, Russia in this plane, why did they replenish so many planes in such a short time?! The evening outside Moscow may be really good, but you have to say that the aircraft factories outside Moscow are ....... Wash and sleep. Not to mention Russia, in history, Austria-Hungary only built a total of 5,400 aircraft from 1914 to 1918! Russia was even more said, don't look at the fact that they built the first four-engine bomber in history, but, hehe, it took more than 3 years to build 3,500 aircraft!

Let's put it this way, the Russians pressed the production before the war and in the months before the war, and they were able to hold back 400 aircraft, and this prince believes, after all, there is a previous accumulation. But this is definitely the total number of the Russian Air Force after smashing the pot and selling iron. Do you want to make a temporary production and then replenish it? Even if the Russians fought for 40 months in history, in fact, it is impossible to produce 100 aircraft per month on average, and the production capacity in the middle and late stages is definitely higher than in the early stage. Therefore, at this time, the prince really did not believe that Russia could replenish 150 planes in a month with its own strength!

Well, even if the prince this butterfly influenced history, allowing the Russians to invest more forces and money in the expansion of the Air Force. But there is always a bottleneck in this, that is, the engine problem, which can not be solved simply by investing money, which is like the Nazis in World War 2 in history who can't get the Nien engine and the BMW 801 can't fight to get 2200 horsepower. The Russians can't make an engine comparable to that of JUMO213. This is a technology gap, which has to do with money and the size of the country, but it is not proportional to .......

Well, in any case, Russia has put in about 550 planes in this campaign, but it is not ...... to any avail. Although they also knocked out about 100 Bavarian Air Force planes. According to the intercepted Russian telegrams and their own statistics, the number of 550 planes that can fly back in the end is estimated to be no more than ...... triple-digits. Most of the rest were destroyed, and a small number were abandoned or captured. If we follow the performance of the Russians in history, then the Russian Air Force will not improve in the next year.

But the prince still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He could think that the Russians must have used foreign engines, and he also knew that some routes could not be blocked, such as the Arctic route bypassing Norway, in fact, this route was available in World War I, but Maozi during the Tsarist period was really not powerful. After being transported to Murmansk, it was not easy to transport it south to the battlefield.

By the way, it is also important to note that the loss of horses and vehicles. In this battle, the Russians lost about 90 self-propelled guns, not to mention the small number, which was also the result of several months of efforts by Russian industry. The number of losses in motor vehicles is around 800 (including locomotives). As for horses? Killed, exhausted, sick and captured, the Russians lost a total of about 150,000 to 180,000 horses! Well, that's good. This loss is expected to reduce the Russians' future mobility by another notch. After all, the Russians have much fewer horses than men, and they are very inadequate. So many horses were brought up that the prince began to consider whether to build a horse meat canning factory to consume the surplus supplies. And Lieutenant General Schmidt said that this is no problem, and the horse meat tastes pretty good.

All right. Either way, it was a victorious battle, killing 400,000 Russian troops and destroying and capturing more than 1,500 Russian artillery! It is conceivable that for a long time in the future, the Russians want to replenish these losses, which is not realistic, even if you are left for 4 months, the prince believes that Russia can make up for the strength of the army, but artillery, machine guns, especially the air force, it is quite difficult for the Russians to replenish it.

As for horses? The prince believed that this was more important than destroying the heavy weapons of the Russian army in a certain way, although the number of registered military horses of the Russians in the later period reached more than 3 million, but it was the result of completely squeezing the strength of a country, and these horses were certainly not of the same grade as the military horses at the beginning of the war. Of course, what is more important is the destruction of productivity, agriculture in this era is mainly based on livestock, and the United States is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone Russia? What really collapsed Russia was the collapse of Russia's internal economic system, and the lack of agriculture and transportation capacity was the most important reason.

Of course, the prince believed that, as the Russians had always done, the Russians would have been able to re-replenish the nine armies of the Eastern Front when they launched the Polish Pocket Campaign, but, hehe, at the beginning and end of World War I, the size of the German Army was at least twice as large! And if it has been a year since the start of the war, the Russians have to maintain their army on the Eastern Front at 9 armies, it will be terrible, after all, the Russians are standing still, and the strength of their opponents is growing rapidly! Why are you undefeated?
