On the night of September 12, the headquarters of the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as the sun went down, the German attack stopped. This gave the 2nd Guards Army some respite.

"General, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us. We're afraid we'll have to make a plan. A lieutenant general suggested.

"I know! It's hard to imagine that the Germans were so powerful in attack. Perhaps, this time it would have been a mistake to join the Entente to fight against Germany! Admiral Krapovich lamented.

It's just that it is not up to him to decide which side Russia joins in the war. Even if he is a general of the Russian Army, he can be regarded as a high authority. But in the face of such a national event, there is still no decision, not even the right to make recommendations. Tsar Nicholas II was also not a man who listened to opinions.

Now the situation of the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army is indeed very bad. Not only did they lose nearly half of their troops, but at the same time, under the continuous compression of the German army, their living space became smaller and smaller. Most of the troops that are still fighting are also surrounded by the Germans. As soon as the Germans gradually ate their living forces, the 2nd Guards Army would be dead.

Originally, General Krapovich also pinned his hopes on the 9th Army of the Russian Army, hoping that the 9th Army would break through the German blockade in time and come to the rescue of them. However, now the 9th Army of the Russian Army is firmly blocked by the Germans in Shedelce, and it cannot go north even a single step. This undoubtedly dashed Admiral Krapovich's hopes.

At the same time, Admiral Krapovich also deeply realized how powerful the German army was. Even when fighting twice as many enemies as they are, they will be able to firmly grasp the advantage. It's not even long before the victory is reached. How could they defeat the Russians in such a situation?

"Damn Ivan? Gilinsky, it's all that guy. Had he not threatened us to go to Warsaw, we would not have fallen into the trap of the Germans. None of this will happen. "Admiral Krapovich vs. Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky can be described as gritting his teeth with hatred. If Ivan? If Admiral Gilinsky dared to appear in front of him, he would definitely draw his gun and shoot him without hesitation.

And Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky seemed to know that he was in trouble again, so he cowered in Warsaw as a turtle with a shrunken head, and did not dare to send a telegram again.

But because of him, the 2nd Guards Army and the 9th Army of the Russian Army fell into a crisis, but it could not be changed.

"General, why don't we break through?" One of the generals suggested.

"Break through, how to break through? Your 6th Guards Army, how many troops are left? Another general scoffed.

Suddenly, the general was silent.

True, although the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army, half of the remaining units continued to fight. But the problem was that these forces were almost surrounded by the Germans. In the case of confusion in command, it was simply impossible to give them orders in time. It is impossible to gather these troops, let alone command them to break through.

"So what are we going to do? Do you just wait for death? ”

No one wants to die, but the problem is that there is no other way! They couldn't even break through, and there was no other way than to hold their positions and wait for the Germans to attack.

"General, telegram from General Letzsky." The adjutant came over and handed a telegram to Admiral Krapovich.

After reading the telegram, Admiral Krapovich had a wry smile on his face.

"General, what did General Retzsky say?" The generals asked.

"General Retzsky said that the 9th Army had done its best. However, the German defense line was very strong. They were under the German lines, and they had already broken their heads and suffered heavy losses. Now their losses have exceeded fifty thousand people. Admiral Krapovich said.

"General, is the 9th Army planning to retreat?" A general asked.

Although, even if the 9th Army retreats, it is understandable. However, they still feel a little unacceptable in their hearts.

"General, what should we do now?"

Even the 9th Army of the Russian Army is ready to give up, and for them, it is undoubtedly lost the last chance.

"Send a telegram to all the troops we can contact to break through to the east early tomorrow morning. As for whether the breakthrough can be successful, it depends on God's will. May God bless us! Admiral Krapovich said.

"May God bless us!" Other Russian generals also said.

Indeed, the only thing they can do now is pray to God.

On September 13, the encircled units of the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army began a large-scale breakthrough. These Russian soldiers, with blank eyes and numb expressions on their faces, staggered with rifles, and at the urging of their officers, launched an attack on the German defensive line.

Of course, they were greeted by the rain of bullets from the German army.

"Da Da Da!"

The German machine guns fired wildly, knocking the attacking Russian troops to the ground.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Artillery, mortars and grenadiers of various calibers are also constantly firing, smashing shells at the Russian army and taking away the lives of the Russian army.

"The Russians are struggling for the last time, and the pressure on the 17th Army is very high." Major General Ludendorff reported to Qin Tian.

"Ask General Zekter if his 17th Army can withstand the Russian attack." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, General." Major General Ludendorff nodded.

They all know that whether the 17th Army can resist the Russian army will depend on whether they can eat all the Russian Guards 2nd Army in this battle.

Fortunately, although the 17th Army was under a lot of pressure, it was not unable to hold on. Despite the fierceness of the Russian offensive, there is no unified command at all, as if it were a rabble. In that case, it would have been a little trouble for the Germans.

The large-scale counterattack of the Russian army lasted for most of the day before it ended. The huge losses made it impossible for the Russian army to continue the offensive.

When the Russian army's breakout operation had to be stopped, it meant that their breakout had failed. Next, they have to wait for death.

On 14 September, the battle ended. The 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army, except for a very small number of people who took advantage of the chaos to escape from the encirclement, the rest were all annihilated, or entered the German prisoner of war camps, including Admiral Krapovich.
