Chapter 1165: Turkey's Counterattack (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Eastern Turkey, Kars.

At the same time that the German 21st Army and the 22nd Army arrived in the Persian Gulf, the 3rd Army of the Turkish Army, led by the Turkish Minister of War and Chief of Staff Enver, also rushed to the front line of the battlefield.

The arrival of the new forces re-strengthened the defensive line of the 1st Army of the Turkish Army.

However, the poor performance of the Turkish Army in this war is still indelible. Admiral Enville was very dissatisfied with this.

You must know that the three armies of the Russian army, which attacked the 1st and 2nd armies of the Turkish Army, were all combined and there were less than 200,000 people. But these two armies of the Turkish Army have a total of 400,000 men. The battle was fought like this, which made Admiral Enver very ashamed.

Immediately after arriving at the front, General Enver summoned the commanders of the 1st and 2nd armies of the Turkish Army and reprimanded them.

"General Arslan, General Mohammed, what the hell are you doing? Your army is twice as large as the Russians! But now, it's just barely holding the line! I'm so disappointed by your performance! Admiral Enver scolded.

You must know that the top leaders of the Republic of Turkey have great expectations for this war. They hoped that the Turkish army would perform well in this battle, so that they could show their strength in front of the German Empire, and at the same time let the German Empire know that the Republic of Turkey could help the German Empire even more. These are all powerful guarantees for more benefits after the war! Now, the war is being fought like this, which undoubtedly makes the top brass of the Republic of Turkey feel that they have lost their faces.

Lieutenant General Arslan and Lieutenant General Mohammed, bowing their heads and not saying a word.

They also know that, logically speaking, with the combat effectiveness of the Turkish Army, it will not be beaten so badly by the Russians! However, the battle broke out so suddenly that they were simply unprepared. In addition, the Russians were too fierce to die in battle. All of this made it impossible for the Turkish army to cope on the battlefield, which ultimately led to their crushing defeat.

"General, the Russians were very tough in the early days of the battle. But now we have held our line and inflicted considerable casualties on the Russians. Now, their attacks are getting weaker and weaker. The 3rd Army has arrived, and we can take this opportunity to launch a counterattack. "said the commander of the 3rd Army, Lieutenant General Ilhan.

The three armies of the Russian army were very strong at the beginning of the battle, but after the initial stage, it is now as if they have lost their initial momentum. In the final analysis, it is still the Russian army that has too few troops. As the losses grow, the morale of the troops will also suffer.

Admiral Enver nodded: "I don't want to talk about the mistakes you made before. I hope that you will be able to atone for your sins and perform well in the next battle. Otherwise, resign from your current position! ”

"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Arslan and Lieutenant General Mohammed both hurriedly replied. At the same time, they were also relieved that they had finally escaped this catastrophe.

With the influence of Admiral Enville in the Republic of Turkey, especially in the military, they simply have no way to remove them from their posts. Well, now, it's finally given them a chance. If you grasp it well, you will not only be able to redeem your merits, but you will even be able to obtain a lot of military merits. After all, the Russians don't have much strength now, and it's their turn to strike back.

"Our allies, the two armies of the German Empire, have reached the Persian Gulf. They will soon launch an offensive against the main forces of the Russian army, which has broken through to northern Iraq. I hope that we will be able to wipe out the three armies of the Russian army that have invaded Turkey before the Germans annihilate those two armies of the Russian army. Then, attack the territory of Burussia! Admiral Enver said.

"Yes, General!" Everyone replied.

Although, they knew that with the combat effectiveness of the German army, it would be very easy to deal with the Russian 47th Army and the 51st Army. But the three armies of the Russian army they had to face were also suffering heavy losses. With the strength of the Turkish army, it should not be much of a problem to accomplish this goal.

"Very well, then everyone go back and prepare. Two days later, the offensive was officially launched! The 3rd Army will first cooperate with the 1st Army to deal with the Russian 44th Army. Then, turn around and go south again, and cooperate with the 2nd Army to solve the 45th Army and the 46th Army of the Russian army. After the 1st Army eliminated the 44th Army of the Russian Army, it invaded Georgia and let those Russians know that we, the Turks, have officially begun to take revenge! Admiral Enver said.

"Yes, General!" Several generals replied loudly.

Turkey and Russia, that's a feud. The original Ottoman Turkish Empire shocked Europe and beat European countries. However, because of the many Russian-Turkish wars that broke out with Tsarist Russia, there were fewer victories and more defeats. gradually tossed a huge empire across Asia, Europe and Africa into the sick man of West Asia. Not only did they lose a lot of land and colonies, but they were also constantly oppressed and humiliated by Western powers. This made many Turks very angry in their hearts.

Now, the Turks finally have the opportunity to invade Russia again, and they will certainly not let it go.

On the morning of November 13, the 1st Army of the Turkish Army and the 3rd Army of the Turkish Army launched a fierce attack on the 44th Army of the Russian Army.

The 44th Army of the Russian Army did not have many troops in the first place. In the previous battle, although it was able to suppress the Turkish 1st Army, its own losses were not small. Now in the face of the attack of 300,000 Turkish troops, they simply cannot resist.

In less than two days, the Russian 44th Army was almost completely lost, only a very small number of people fled back to the territory of Burussia, and the rest were annihilated.

After that, the 1st Army of the Turkish Army launched an offensive against Georgia in the territory of Burussia. The Turkish 3rd Army moved south to cooperate with the 2nd Army and attacked the Russian 45th Army and the 46th Army. Although the Russian 45th and 46th armies were already feeling the danger, the Turkish 2nd Army behaved well, holding them back and preventing them from evacuating.

After the arrival of the 3rd Army, a flanking attack was carried out on the Russian troops, which finally eliminated the two armies.
