The 1st Guards Army of the Russian Army, as the ace unit of Tsar Nicholas II, is undoubtedly a very elite unit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info, that's relative. In front of the German 8th Army, this was not elite at all. With the same troops, the 8th Army Corps could use its own strength to deal with two or three.

"The 1st Guards Army is indeed impossible to be easily mobilized. However, we have to find a way to get the 1st Guards Front to be transferred. Tsar Nicholas II can't make up his mind, then we will help him make up his mind. Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, is there anything you can do?" Admiral Hindenburg asked.

"If, after we have solved the 9th Army of the Russian Army, we cooperate with Austria-Hungary and also solve the Southwestern Front of the Russian Army. I do not believe that in such a situation, Nicholas II would still be able to sit still! A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.

Both Admiral Hindenburg and Major General Ludendorff nodded their heads one after another, believing that this method was undoubtedly very feasible.

"Your Highness, if you can really cooperate with Austria-Hungary to solve the Russian Southwestern Front, then Nicholas II is really likely to send the 1st Guards Front Army out of necessity." Admiral Hindenburg said.

Russia's standing army, which has 1.4 million. In addition to the 400,000 Guards, more than a million more troops are deployed in other regions. After the outbreak of the war, Russia carried out a general mobilization on the one hand, and on the other hand, mobilized a standing army and took the lead in launching an offensive. It can be said that 80 percent of the standing armies, other than the Guards, were assembled in the Northwestern Front and the Southwestern Front. If the German 8th Army Corps eats the Russian Northwest Front, and eats both the 2nd Guards Army and the 9th Army of the Russian Army, and by the way, the Russian Southwestern Front is also eliminated, it will be equivalent to almost eliminating the standing army of the Russian army. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Russian Army.

The loss of so many troops will inevitably make it impossible for the Russian army to hold the vast territory. Even if they mobilized a large number of troops, how could those hastily formed second-line troops be the opponents of the German army and the Austro-Hungarian army? The Austro-Hungarian Army, of course, can't beat the Russian standing army, but there's no reason why it can't even beat the second-line troops of the Russian army! Coupled with the wolf-like German army, the Russians were even less of an opponent.

In order to stabilize the situation at the front, Nicholas II would inevitably transfer the 1st Guards Army to the front. And this gave the Russian Cloth Party and other organizations and forces that were dissatisfied with the Russian government an excellent opportunity. As long as they take the opportunity to start an uprising, civil strife in Russia is inevitable. It is even possible to overthrow the tsarist government like another time and space. If the party can prevail in the midst of civil strife and take power in the country. Then, Germany will be able to quickly win the victory on the Eastern Front, and it can reap huge benefits. The German troops withdrawn from the Eastern Front could all be thrown into the Western Front. Qin Tian believed that defeating the Anglo-French coalition was not a problem at all.

"Your Highness, the 9th Army of the Russian Army, has begun to retreat. The 20th Army, in pursuit. It's just that the strength of the 20th Army is still too small. Major General Ludendorff said.

"Let the 11th Army, the 17th Army, and the 8th Panzer Division all go into pursuit! In any case, the most important thing at the moment is still to eat the 9th Army of the Russian army. As for dealing with the Southwestern Front of the Russian Army, it is necessary to cooperate with Austria-Hungary. I will ask the War Office and the General Staff to contact Austria-Hungary. Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Ludendorff nodded.

"Let the 8th Air Force go out and bomb the Russian 9th Army, and delay their retreat as quickly as possible." Qin Tian continued. Once the Russian 9th Army retreated, preventing them from retreating became the most important thing for the German 8th Army Corps. Qin Tian had already thought about it, and while the ground forces were pursuing, he dispatched an aviation team that had already formed combat effectiveness to strike at the Russian army. In this way, it can undoubtedly play a big role.

Although, by means of air strikes, it is impossible to destroy the 9th Army of the Russian army. But as long as they can slow down their retreat and buy enough time for the 8th Army to successfully catch up with the Russian 9th Army, it will be a victory.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The 8th Air Force, which was subordinate to the 8th Army Corps of the German Army, so far, has almost three hundred combat aircraft, of which fighters and bombers account for half each.

In addition to having a large airfield in Königsberg, there were also military airfields in the east and south of East Prussia.

Because of the existence of Qin Tian, Germany has always been at the world's leading level in the field of aviation. Whether it is an F2 fighter or an H1 bomber, it is definitely the existence of fighters ahead of other countries. This can be seen from the fact that the air forces of Britain, France, and other countries killed by the German air force on the battlefield on the Western Front lost their armor and collapsed.

It's just that, compared with other counterparts who went on a killing spree on the battlefield on the Western Front and achieved one result, the officers and men of the 8th Air Force were a little depressed. You must know that they are the first of the various air forces of the German Army, and they are also the one with the best flying skills and the most powerful combat effectiveness.

Originally, everyone thought that they could make contributions in this war and let the whole world know that they were powerful. But unfortunately, because the Russian army does not have any decent air power, they are also useless heroes. Except for the reconnaissance mission, there is no opportunity to dispatch at all.

Of course, there is no way around it. The Russians don't have many planes, so they can't consume precious aviation fuel and fly into the sky to shoot birds, right?

"General, the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Königsberg, the command of the 8th German Air Force, the office of the commander, Brigadier General Cory, was pushed open.

However, Brigadier General Corey had no intention of blaming the adjutant for breaking in without his permission. He snatched the telegram from the adjutant's hand and read it.

"Haha, that's great. We finally have a chance to go to war! Command all the pilots and planes, get ready. Half an hour later, take off for battle! Brigadier General Cory ordered.

"Yes, General."

The pilots of the German 8th Air Force had long been prepared. After receiving the order, it was soon possible to take off for combat.
