On April 13, taking advantage of the heavy losses suffered by the Russian army, Kuster reorganized the Allied forces.

They totaled 240,000 in the Caucasus, of which about 160,000 were Turkish and 40,000 were German and Austrian.

He put the Turks together as the main line-filler for the front; Germany and Austria each had their own command systems as important forces for breakthroughs.

The Russians have 280,000 people in this area, but 80,000 are under siege, and if they are not rescued, the original advantage of the Russian army will instantly become a disadvantage.

Kuster took this into account, so he deployed all the German-Austrian forces here and waited for the Russian army to attack.

As long as they dare to attack, then the situation with the Allies in the Caucasus will improve. The elite German-Austrian army would have knocked the Russians to the north and then quickly launched a counter-charge to retake Georgia.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this plan is not perfect, and the quality of the Turkish army is worrying, and it is difficult to cooperate with friendly actions. Coupled with the fact that the Russian army has deployed quite a lot of troops on the Eastern Front, it is simply impossible to advance.

After weighing up, he decided to abandon the region north of the Caucasus, concentrate his main forces on Transcaucasia, and let the Allied forces in the west and center launch a joint offensive to seize Georgia.

Although it is very difficult to climb over after giving up, the Turkish army can no longer withstand the pressure of the Russian army, and sooner or later it will have to withdraw.

The previous experience made Kuster understand that the Germans should not be underestimated, and they could do what ordinary people could not do, so they would be the core combat power of the Allies.

Kuster's order to the four division commanders was simple, to keep them in the back and wait for the order to be given before attacking.

But this was not enough to convince the public, the Germans were all men with strong blood, and naturally they were not willing to sit in the back and watch the front line fight lively.

Fortunately, the Russians were very unlucky, and they attacked that night, and after close contact with the Austrians, they soon failed.

These Russian troops came to rescue the besieged friendly troops, and they were not very willing, and after seeing the enemy's strong defenses, they casually put a few shots and took it as a battle.

The speed was so fast that Kuster didn't even react, and his mind was still stuck on how to organize the defense, and the Russians retreated.

The Germans, who were clearing the encirclement in the rear, heard of the retreat of the Russian army and hurriedly asked for Kuster's consent.

Kuster was suspicious, but had nothing to say, and acquiesced to their attack.

To be on the safe side, he ordered the Turkish army in the center to cooperate with the German army and attack the gentle area to the west.

Seeing that the Allies still dared to attack, the Russians did not retreat, but took advantage of the mountains and positions to persist in stubborn resistance.

After the reconnaissance teams of the two sides met, they exchanged views one after another, and the fight was very pleasant.

Sensing the threat of each other, both sides quickly sent their main forces forward, which gradually evolved into a protracted and arduous battle.

In order to be able to control the troops, Kuster personally went to the front line to take charge of affairs.

The steep slopes are covered with barbed wire, and the narrow and rugged mountain terrain has to be advanced on a small scale, with deaths at every step forward.

In the face of such a harsh environment, what did Kuster plan?

He didn't plan at all, he felt that fools only took the mountain road, and normal people took the big road.

So in the minds of normal people, he quietly withdrew the German troops and armored units and sent them to the center, where the terrain was quite gentle, and there was no perversion here.

As for the Lesser Caucasus, Kuster used the pigeon tactic, which was dragged hard, and the Russians did not attack us or attack; If the Russians dare to attack, they will die, and without the cover of the mountains, they will have to be drowned by shells.

On the way to secretly transfer the troops, Kuster confirmed that the Russian troops on the Lesser Caucasus Mountain did not dare to attack, so he asked the garrison to fire a few rounds of artillery every day, and then followed the troops to the center.

The terrain of the central region is completely different from that of the two sides, as a barrier between the mountains of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, it is quite gentle, and the garrison also acts as the vanguard, and every battle must be focused on attacking here.

Looking at Tbilisi in the distance, several pillboxes stand high in front of a huge army of infantry and tanks. The sporadic sound of guns and cannons could not shake the will of the soldiers, and the steps of climbing the mountain were still strong, firmly setting their legends.

Shells that flew into the sky tore through the sky like lightning, and grenades that smashed into Russian positions shook the ground, and the anger of the Germans poured out into Tbilisi.

After an orderly round of bombardment, the soldiers lined up and attacked the hillside in unison.

Dense small black dots suddenly appeared on the hillside, and continued to spread upward.

The Russian troops on the hill were stunned, and the morale they had left after the bombing had already been declining, and after seeing so many German troops at this moment, they abandoned their positions and gradually retreated.

But how far can they retreat? On the hill is Tbilisi, and if it is captured, the Russians will face an attack even bigger than that.

When the time comes, without the intervention of the coalition forces, these fleeing Russians will be killed by their own angry superiors.

But at this time, the Russian army was already stupid, and after running out of bullets, they retreated one by one. Look at it like that, whoever hinders his retreat will bite him.

Thanks to the fragile will of the Russians, Tbilisi soon returned to the hands of the Allies.

But this was not enough, and the Allied forces continued to advance westward, capturing large areas along the way.

And this is undoubtedly extremely fatal to Russia, the central defense line has been completely destroyed, and then they can only trade their lives for time.

In order to hold Georgia, the Russians retreated and eventually ran to a more rugged area, where they re-established their defensive line.

This time, the armored forces finally failed to catch up with them, not because the tanks were faulty, but because the Russians retreated more than 100 kilometers directly, and the tanks were not enough to supply on the way, so they could only stop and wait.

It's inconceivable that the Russian army has withdrawn so far all at once, but there is nothing that can be done. There was a mountain area 10 kilometers away from Tbilisi, but they were caught up by the pursuing troops, and there was no time to recover at all, and the mountain defense line was naturally breached, and it did not even play a role at all.

And this is extremely fatal, after the defense line is breached, it is difficult to rebuild the defense line dozens of kilometers to the west.

After the Russian top brass learned about it, the battle had been over for a long time, and the coalition forces had already advanced 50 kilometers, and if it was a little later, they would have seen God.

They had to urgently transfer Russian troops on the hills of the Lesser Caucasus to the west to meet the defeated army and establish a defensive line. The campaign of the Allies to retake Tbilisi was over, and they won a resounding victory, replacing Tbilisi with a fairly small number of casualties.

The Russian army can only blame this mistake on the lack of reserves, or rather on the fact that there are no reserves at all, and they have no role at all in the battle.

But in fact, the real weakness of the Russian army lies in the extreme lack of will of its army.

In this battle, for example, the Tbilisi garrison did not want to fight after being bombed several times, and the reserve knew that something was wrong when it met the retreating friendly troops, and they retreated with them.

Such an army is undoubtedly a failure, but compared to a failed army, it seems that the people who created it are the real failures.

So Tsarist Russia was destined to be replaced, and to replace it must improve the failed politics, otherwise Russia would fall into endless civil strife.

Kuster was a visionary, he had long known that Tsarist Russia was bound to perish, especially with such a poor fighting army.

But he also knew that the regime that replaced Tsarist Russia had indeed done something to make Russia great again.

So for the sake of his future, it is necessary to stop this regime as much as possible, and even make enemies of it.
