Anti-Piracy Chapter ~~~! Today 2 more ~~~!

"I ....... Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"Don't say it, Borusinov really didn't have nothing to say, he could sense the seriousness of the problem, he could sense the danger, but you asked him to come up with a perfect solution? It's a pity that he really can't do it now! Most of the people who can find the problem can't solve it. In other words, in the current situation, it is really not easy to solve the problem!

What can you do even if Brusinov moves to Alekseev's place? He doesn't have a way to retreat with his whole body, the troops on the Western Front are already deep in the opponent's formation, this is what you can come out of?! The logistical supply can already be described as a blockage, and you let those GIs come out hungry?! What do you think?

Before Borushinov arrived, he had thought of the most conservative way to withdraw all the troops that the Seventh Army could withdraw to a defensible area. , and then the troops who could not go stayed to break the rear. Then the Eighth Army abandoned the siege of the Lviv fortress and retreated to redeploy. and support the Seventh Army.

There were two reasons for his plan: first, the campaign had been going on for a long time, but the Eighth and Ninth armies had little success, except for the Seventh Army in the west, which had achieved certain results. From the point of view of the situation, the offensive of the Austro-Hungarian corps has actually failed, the strategic goal to be achieved has not been completed, the Lviv fortress has not been taken down, and it is impossible to control the entire northeastern part of the Carpathian Mountains.

Second, it's time! Now that time has passed so long that it has made Borusinov uneasy, what are the prerequisites for the Russians to launch this campaign? Didn't you just want to take eastern Galicia before the Bavarian Army reacted? From the beginning to the present, the Russians did not intend to fight to the death with the Bavarian army, because they knew that it would be difficult to win, or if it was won, it would be worth the loss. However, when the planes of the Bavarian Legion flew over his side and blew up a transit point in flames, Borusinov was really scared! Because these Germanic eagles are always messengers before death strikes! When the Bavarian Air Force appeared, it meant that the ground offensive was about to begin!

What was even more terrifying was that after losing aerial reconnaissance, Brusinov could not determine how many Bavarian regiments were coming, nor could he determine when the other side would attack, he could only know from the information from ground reconnaissance that a large group of unknown creatures was gathering on the flank of the Russian Seventh Army, like a dark cloud before a storm, which made him feel very uneasy.

"Actually, we can shrink the front." Brusinov put it mildly. "Only what we can get in our hands in the end is ours, isn't it? General Alekseev. As he spoke, he picked up a putt and swiped it on the huge sand table, throwing about half of the occupied area away.

"This is unacceptable! This is tantamount to negating the outcome of this campaign! Alekseev said. We paid a huge price, but the ones on the front were not optimized much, and we did not annihilate too many enemies, which is tantamount to admitting defeat. ”

"The elite of the Seventh Army has been severely damaged, we must hold together, and we must shrink the supply lines to ensure the minimum supply of the front-line troops. We have lost nearly a million troops on the battlefield one after another, and even with the size of the empire, it is somewhat unbearable. And you know, compared to the Western European powers, we are not called an industrial power, even if it is not for the personnel, we have to think about keeping the equipment in our hands. Brusinov said. In his eyes, the equipment of the Russian army is always more important than the personnel of the Russian army......

"That's good, I'm responsible for arranging the defense of the Seventh Army, and you're in charge of the transfer of the Eighth Army, and a considerable part of our artillery is concentrated in the Eighth Army." Alekseev said.

"So let's do it first." Brusinov nodded in agreement. It is indeed not easy for the current troops to take back all of them, since this is the case, it is easier to take back the ones first, and then wait for the next move of the other party.

"Hopefully it's still time." Before leaving, Brusinov said in his heart. And will the Russians have time to regroup their forces and adjust their deployment? Apparently not! Because just when the two were arguing, the Bavarian Army and the troops belonging to Mackensen, who arrived one after another, had completed their final combat preparations! The counteroffensive is about to begin!

Before the counteroffensive, Mackensen sent his plans in the form of telegrams to Prince Ruprecht. And after a cursory look, the prince also had to admit that Mackensen, as a famous general in World War I, was really quite level. To tell the truth, this time the Allies did not prepare for the war sufficiently, and the terrain chosen was not good, and it was quite difficult to launch a large-scale wide-frontal armored siege operation on the Bode Plain, because the width of the frontal attack was not large, and because it was a cross-line of the opponent's front, the depth of the Russians would become very large, and the depth would be a very big trouble for encircling the opponent. And Mackensen solves this problem relatively well!

"Because the losses of the Russians in the early stage of the campaign were relatively large, their combat effectiveness was not as high as on paper, in the plains that lacked shelter, the Russians had very few artillery and machine guns, and lacked ammunition, so we had very little difficulty in attacking the fortifications, at this time we did not need tanks, and even adequate fire preparation was not needed, we could delegate a large number of medium-caliber rapid-fire guns to the assault troops, forming a battalion and regiment-level combat unit with small scale but high combat effectiveness. Each assault unit, after breaking down one of the opposing positions, has the option to stop and receive supplies, and then the regiment behind them continues to advance, causing a succession of offsets. ”

"In this process, we will complete the division and annihilation, and when the Seventh Army is almost cleaned up, the elite units of the Ninth Group under my command will be put into the battlefield to attack the Russian Eighth Army, which is still in good condition and has more heavy weapons. If we plan properly, we have the hope of inflicting heavy losses on 2 Russian army groups. Mackensen wrote in the telegram.

"Hehe, in the face of the weak Russian Seventh Army, use lightly armed troops, and leave its strongest striking force to the well-equipped Russian Eighth Army. That's a great idea. It seems that Chief of Staff Hall's bicycle unit may play an unexpected role. The prince said in his heart after reading it.
