721 Battle of Warsaw (XIX): Brilliant victory
When the bomber group belonging to the Tang Army Aviation attacked the large forces of the Russian-Prussian coalition army, the armored forces of the Tang Army successfully broke through the divided vanguard of the Russian army, and the Russian army of about 20,000 people chose to surrender to the Tang Army without experiencing much stubborn resistance under such a fierce offensive.

Fearing the remnants of poisonous gases on the battlefield ahead, the ground forces of the Don Army did not advance quickly, so that the Russian-Prussian troops began to retreat after suffering a catastrophe. However, such a retreat was also in vain, the motorized units of the Don Army, the Eighth Brigade of the Army and the European Brigade had been interspersed with the rear of the Russian-Prussian Army, and the Russian-Prussian Army was not without the protection of its flanks, but since Suvorov's concept was still too old compared to the combat concept of the Don Army, he thought that the sufficiently wide area was obviously considered too narrow by the Don Army.
The first group of Russian troops who retreated back were immediately attacked by the 8th Brigade of the Don Army and the European Brigade. As a motorized unit, the Eighth Brigade has only a small amount of armored force, most of which are still traditional infantry, and the European Brigade is even more so, but under the piercing effect of a small number of mechanized troops, the highly mobile Tang Army launched a fierce impact on the Russian army, and with the fierce artillery support of the Tang Army, the retreating troops of the Russian army were eliminated in a systematic manner.
The Tang Army built a defensive line on the spot, and when the follow-up troops of the Russian army arrived, they still blocked the retreat of the Russian-Prussian coalition with superior firepower. Whenever the Russian-Prussian coalition forces were preparing to retreat when the attack was unfavorable, the armored forces of the Tang Army sent out a wave of counterattacks, causing heavy casualties to the Russian army.
What made the Russian army even more panicked was that the Datang Army Aviation attack planes kept taking off and bombing the Russian troops. These attack planes searched the sky without a particularly fixed target, and when they found the Russian-Prussian troops, they rushed down and bombarded them, causing great trouble to them and killing and injuring a large number of enemy forces.
Just as Suvorov was preparing to concentrate his forces on trying to storm the lines of the 8th Brigade of the Don Army and the European Brigade to break through a way back, the armored units of the 9th Brigade of the Don Army, together with other friendly forces, launched a final decisive battle against Suvorov.
In this battle, the Tang army mobilized almost all the troops that could be mobilized, and the German army also had about 20,000 people to cooperate with the Tang army to fight, and the Russian-Prussian coalition tried to resist, but it was seriously weakened before and after, and now the morale of the army was more seriously affected by the Russian-Prussian coalition army, which was unable to resist at all, and the Tang army eliminated as many as 70,000 Russian-Prussian troops in one day and night, killing 11 senior officers above the brigadier general of the Russian-Prussian coalition army, and its commander Marshal Suvorov was captured.
Summing up the entire battle, the Tang army annihilated more than 138,000 Russian-Prussian troops in total, captured more than 60,000 Russian troops, and did not escape the Russian army, and all 200,000 Russian-Prussian troops were surrendered on the Polish plain.
The Tang army won more with less, achieved the most brilliant military victory since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and experimented with various types of weapons and tactics, which gave the Tang allies in Europe a shot in the arm, and made the European powers tremble completely.
Before the war, no one thought that the Tang army would win so easily, and the French side believed that the Tang army cooperated with the German army with less than 30,000 men and engaged the 200,000 Russian-Prussian coalition forces, and even if there was a chance of victory, I am afraid that the Tang army would fall into a bitter battle. The British side also believes, or has a certain illusion, that this war, which is large-scale even in previous European wars, can make Datang suffer losses and make Datang fall into a quagmire. However, Tsarist Russia and Prussia failed so neatly.
From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Warsaw, neither side actually fought a war in Warsaw, but a military operation by the Russian-Prussian and Austrian powers around the strategic goal of capturing Warsaw. The Tang Dynasty and its allies also focused on defending Warsaw and liberating Poland. The nearly 400,000 troops of the Russian-Austrian Three Kingdoms were finally wiped out by the Tang Dynasty and its allies.
During the battle, the powerful armored forces and ferocious artillery of the Tang Army gave a great shock to the military strategists of all over Europe. Before that, no one imagined that the striking capabilities of an army could be so powerful. The Tang army completely relied on the output of several times the opponent's firepower to crush the enemy alive. And those attack planes and bombers that caused a huge panic in the Russian-Prussian coalition and were unable to do anything to resist kept all the European powers awake at night. The British were even worried that the Tang Army's fighters would fly over the English Channel and bomb London, and some British parliamentarians even suggested building a huge iron umbrella on important buildings such as Buckingham Palace to shield the bombing of Tang planes.
Britain and other countries coveted the war weapons created by the Tang Dynasty and entered a new peak with this battle. Whether it is an invincible tank on land or an irresistible aircraft in the sky, the European powers have thoroughly realized that Datang's status as the world's number one power is really not fooled by themselves. Datang is not only rich and has developed productive forces, but also militarily it is not at the same level as European countries. Using the existing military force to provoke Datang is completely self-defeating.
King Frederick of Prussia? After receiving the news of the total annihilation of the Prussian army in Belarus, Wilhelm II did not stay at all and immediately fled to England with his family. Prussia's government-in-exile also came to an end.
Catherine II received the news of the defeat of the Russian army in St. Petersburg, immediately fainted, and did not wake up until the third day, when she woke up extremely weak. Catherine II herself was exhausted after the death of her male favorite Botemkin, and suffered a sudden defeat, which overloaded her physically and mentally and made her sick.
The female tsar confessed to her diplomat on the sickbed, and immediately made peace with the Tang Dynasty and Germany, and rescued the captured Russian army as much as possible.
However, after the victory in the Battle of Warsaw, the Don Army did not stop on its feet. After the first snow of winter, the Tang Army marched through the snow and conquered a large area of land that originally belonged to Poland, and along the Baltic coast, recovered Lithuania, and then invaded Latvia and Estonia belonging to Russia. On Christmas Day, the Don army occupied the Estonian city of Narva, just over 130 kilometers from the Russian capital, St. Petersburg. Russia has almost never encountered a situation in which the enemy has hit so closely, and the whole of Russia has fallen into a great panic.
Also affected by the victory at the Battle of Warsaw, Blucher's German army also captured Slovakia and successfully joined forces with the Bavarian Army in the Czech Republic. A total of 120,000 German troops slaughtered the city of Vienna, and the Austrian Empire was in a complete emergency, and there was no one to help! (To be continued.) )
