The headquarters of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, located about ten kilometers behind the line of defense. Pen ~ Fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info After seeing the heavy artillery fire of the German army, General Samsonov was very concerned about his own safety. He was afraid that his headquarters would be hit by German fire. In that case, there will be no bones left.

On the morning of the 21st, Admiral Samsonov got up late because he had drunk two bottles of vodka the previous night. The war was not going well, so much so that he was in a very bad mood. If it weren't for the fact that the German civilians in the war zone had been relocated, he really wanted to send the guards to find a few German women to vent their anger. However, there is not even a single commoner around, let alone a beautiful woman.

As for finding women from the Kingdom of Poland, it is feasible. But Admiral Samsonov didn't have the guts. And if Ivan? If General Gilinsky knew, it would be troublesome. Although, everyone is in the rank of general. But Ivan? General Gilinsky is the commander of the front army and the former chief of the General Staff of the Russian army, and his foundation and qualifications are not comparable to that of General Samsonov.

Therefore, Admiral Samsonov had to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. Although, alcohol is not allowed in the military. But this military rule is not strictly implemented in the Russian army, and the Russians are all drunkards, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, if they don't drink, they will be uncomfortable and have no combat effectiveness. Therefore, the military justice department has no choice but to turn a blind eye to this.

"General, something is wrong. The Germans launched a massive counterattack. "An officer reported to Admiral Samsonov.

"yes, I see. The troops at the front, according to the predetermined plan, were ordered to hold back the German offensive. Admiral Samsonov said nonchalantly.

The Germans would launch a counterattack at the right time, which did not come as expected by Admiral Samsonov. Therefore, when the Russian army launched an offensive, they were also actively building fortifications. Although, the fortifications of the Russian army are completely incomparable with the German army. But Admiral Samsonov believed that with the large number of Russian troops and fortifications, there would be no problem in blocking the German offensive. As long as the 1st Army succeeds, the tide of battle can be reversed.

"Yes, General." The officer immediately went to deliver the order.

Admiral Samsonov began to wash up methodically, and then ate breakfast. Although, the German artillery bombardment was very fierce, which made him frown from time to time. But Admiral Samsonov always believed that the Russian army could not defeat the Germans when attacking, but when defending, even if it could not defeat the Germans, there should be no problem in a draw.

However, soon Admiral Samsonov learned that the ideal is full, but the reality is the backbone. The gap between reality and his imagination is too great.

Admiral Sesamesonov had just finished his bread and started drinking milk when a staff officer ran in a panic.

"General, our forward line of defense, has already been broken through by the Germans. Now the Germans are attacking in our depth. An officer reported with a sad face.

"What? How so? How could the German attack be so strong? Admiral Samsonov's face was full of disbelief. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is rubbish, it is not so easy to break through with the fortifications.

"General, the Germans used a new weapon, covered in iron armor, capable of firing shells and machine-gun bullets, and we couldn't threaten the other side at all, so we were defeated." The officer looked frightened.

Admiral Samsonov frowned: "What are you talking about?" Could that be the devil's weapon? ”

"General, there are rumors on the front line that the Germans have mastered the devil's weapons and cannot be defeated!" The officer said.

"Fart!" Admiral Samsonov scolded. He wouldn't believe it. In his opinion, this is clearly an excuse for the cowards who have lost the battle on the front line. But even if you want to make excuses, you have to find someone who is more reliable. The Devil's Weapon? This is too unreliable.

"No, no matter what, the line cannot be breached. Otherwise, the entire 2nd Army would be finished. "Admiral Samsonov, after two rounds of his office, made his decision.

"Someone, order General Andrei and General Karsky, lead their troops, and hold off the Germans. The rest of the troops were immediately retracted. In any case, the Germans must be stopped. Admiral Samsonov ordered.

"Yes, General." The officer immediately went to give the order.

Andrei and Karsky, both commanders of the Cossack cavalry divisions of the Russian army. Two Cossack cavalry divisions, totaling tens of thousands of people. This is the most elite Cossack cavalry! Since the Cossack cavalry worked for the tsar, it has been a sharp sword in the hands of the tsar. Even when Napoleon shook Europe, he attached great importance to the Cossack cavalry.

Admiral Samsonov was confident that no matter how strong the German attack was, with the help of powerful Cossack cavalry, the Germans would be able to be stopped. Of course, the Cossack cavalry could pay no small losses, but what did it matter? As a general of the Russian Army, Samsonov also crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death. As long as it's not your own blood, it doesn't matter.

After receiving the order of General Samsonov, Major General Andrei and Major General Karsky began to gather their troops and began to prepare for the attack.

"The Cossack warriors, the incompetent infantrymen, defeated by the Germans, are scattering and fleeing. Once again, we have to play the role of savior. Grab your sabers, step on your horses, and attack! Use your sabers, cut off the heads of the Germans, and use the blood of the Germans to forge the glory of the Cossacks. Warriors, launch an attack and crush the Germans in one fell swoop. Major General Andrei shouted loudly.

"Hooray! Long live the Cossacks! Long live His Majesty the Tsar! ”

Tens of thousands of Cossack cavalrymen, shouting slogans, went on the offensive.

Tens of thousands of war horses rushed to the battlefield, their hooves trampling on the ground, making a rumbling sound, as if it was thunder, the scene was very amazing.

These Cossack cavalrymen, with an indomitable momentum, rushed to the battlefield. In the age of cold weapons, they were the masters of the battlefield. Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, they were a symbol of invincibility. It's just that their myths will soon be shattered. In front of the armored forces, the cavalry is simply scum!
