"General François, His Highness has given the order. Early tomorrow morning, the 11th Army will set out from Lublin and make a long run to Lviv. For this purpose, the Legion has sent 2,000 trucks for you from the rear. By the morning after tomorrow at the latest, the 11th Army must arrive in Lviv and attack. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Lieutenant General François replied.

Although, running hundreds of kilometers in one day is a very difficult task for any army. However, Lieutenant General François remained confident that it would be done. Anyway, along the way, it was the wheels of the car that were rushing. The soldiers marched in chariots, which was undoubtedly much easier than marching on their legs. Although the transportation facilities here are terrible, the roads are mostly dirt roads. But the truck travels more than 100 kilometers a day, and there should be no problem.

"Colonel Rommel will lead a section of the 8th Panzer Division to assist you. Colonel Rommel's troops were replenished by the Logistics Department. When the time comes, it will be restored to more than 100 vehicles. With the assistance of armored forces, attacking Lviv should not be a difficult task for you. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

Lieutenant General François nodded, the Russian army was in Lviv, and there were originally only two infantry corps. And there was also an infantry corps, on the way to Chewum, which was raided by the 17th Infantry Division of the 51st Army, was routed and suffered heavy losses. This makes the number of Russian troops in Lviv not much more than the 11th Army. You must know that the 11th Army is an infantry corps composed of four infantry divisions, with a total strength of more than 65,000 men, and among the three infantry corps under the 8th Army Corps, their strength has always been the strongest.

"Chief of Staff, if I can, I hope to be able to get support from the air force!" Lieutenant General François said.

"That's no problem, I'll get in touch with you on the Air Force's side." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"In that case, there will be no problem at all." Lieutenant General François nodded.

The performance of the 8th Air Force in this war can be described as amazing. Before the war, no one could have imagined that those planes, which they treated as toys, would have such great power. Whether it was the previous bombing of the Russian 9th Army by the 8th Air Force, or the attack of the 8th Air Force on the 4th Army of the Russian Army this time, the German generals were amazed. This also made the generals of the German army all hope that they can be assisted by the planes of the 8th Air Force when they are fighting. In this way, their casualties will be greatly reduced.

Early in the morning of October 10, the German 11th Army set out from Lublin, with more than 60,000 troops, all in trucks, rushing to Lviv, more than 100 kilometers away.

At the same time, a part of the 8th Panzer Division, led by Colonel Rommel, also set out from Cheum and rushed to Lviv.

The main forces of the German 17th Army went to Zamošić to assist the 20th Army in besieging it. After the Russian army in Zamohich was eliminated, the main forces of the Russian 4th Army could be considered to be eliminated.

Lviv, the headquarters of the 4th Army of the Russian army, Colonel-General Dimitriev was in a state of restlessness, as if something big was about to happen.

The current war situation is too unfavorable for the 4th Army of the Russian Army. Admiral Ivanov unfortunately hoped that they would be able to hold out for more than half a month. However, only three days after the start of the battle, the 4th Army had already lost half of its troops. This made Admiral Dimitriev frightened, and his fear of the German army rose to the extreme.

"Damn the Germans, how can they be so strong, our army is completely two levels apart from them!" Admiral Dimitriev lamented. Only after actually fighting the Germans will you know how terrible the Germans are.

"Fyodor and Golovin, those two guys, actually surrendered to the Germans! What about their backbone? Are they still generals of the Russian Empire? "Thinking of Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin, who surrendered to the Germans yesterday. This made Admiral Dimitriev very angry. Although, he knows, it was a choice made by the two of them in a desperate situation, and there was no way to do it. However, the surrender of the two made Admiral Ivanov very angry. It's just that, given that it is now at a critical juncture in the battle, it has not been dealt with. Once the battle is over, he will inevitably be disposed of.

If the Russian army wins, then it is good to say that it can make up for the merits. However, if it is defeated, the consequences may be very serious.

"General, General Boris is here." The adjutant reported to Admiral Dimitryev.

"Hmm!" Admiral Dimitriev nodded. Lieutenant General Boris and his 22nd Infantry Corps, which were routed by the Germans, were equally outraged. If they had arrived in time, Heum might have been able to hold it, and Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin would not have surrendered to the Germans. Nothing will be the way it is now.

To some extent, the culprit for all this is Lieutenant General Boris. If he could, Admiral Dimitriev would have wanted to kill Lieutenant General Boris immediately. But it is a pity that now he does not have the power to directly shoot a lieutenant general.

"General!" Lieutenant General Boris, when he saw Colonel-General Dimitryev, bowed his head. He also knew that this time he had fallen into a big disaster.

"General Boris, I sent you to lead the 22nd Army to reinforce Kheum, but what did you do?" Admiral Dimitriev roared angrily.

"General, I don't want this to happen! It's just that the Germans are too strong. We were flanked by their planes, tanks and heavy artillery. Their attack power is far beyond our expectations. That's why my troops were defeated. Lieutenant General Boris explained.

Admiral Dimitriev knew that what Lieutenant General Boris said was the truth, and if it were any Russian army, it would probably collapse in the face of such a situation. However, he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.

Admiral Dimitriev directly scolded Lieutenant General Boris for a bloody sprinkler, vented the anger in his heart well, and then let Lieutenant General Boris go. Moreover, Admiral Dimitriev gave Lieutenant General Boris a chance to make amends.

And Lieutenant General Boris, naturally, did not dare to have the slightest complaint.
