Rudolph arrived at the town of Obsha at half past ten, and the town of nearly a thousand men was flooded with more than 7,000 heavily armed soldiers, and in order to hurry, Rudolph took only two regiments of fighters and nearly a hundred trucks.

The reconnaissance team swept the entire town, cut all the telephone lines and went from house to house to check for radio stations. It is no wonder that the army does not trust the people, although the Western Ukrainians are loyal, there will always be some people who are dissatisfied with the country and regard the invaders as liberators.

Moving into the town was a no-brainer, and the snow hadn't melted yet. At night, when the temperature plummeted, there was a lack of tents and no fires, and at the end of the night, Rudolph would freeze to death with frostbite along with his officers and soldiers.

At 6 a.m. on February 10, Rudolph woke up from his warm room, where about six thousand people lived yesterday. Because he was behind enemy lines, he sent a battalion to take charge of the guard work, and a reconnaissance company with a radio station, and he had already found out the way ahead.

The town was full of people, but the usual sound of trumpets was missing. Everywhere were soldiers wearing light gray steel helmets and blue-gray overcoats, carrying guns in one hand and gray-green camouflage suits in the other. These soldiers had been on the road or fighting for a day, and last night there was a shortage of houses, so Rudolph did not let them seize the houses of the local residents, nor did he let them sleep outside the door in a high manner. The soldiers and their lieutenants slept on the floor, and the living rooms, kitchens, and even corridors of every house were full of people.

But none of this fatigue had anything to do with Rudolph, for yesterday he had only been in the car for a day, and in the evening he had requisitioned one of the best small buildings in the area, and in the evening he had a simple dinner with his officers. You can't blame him for being arrogant and lascivious, which hurts morale. If he really had to share the weal and woe with the soldiers, it would be disrespectful to this army.

The reconnaissance company in front had gone thirty kilometers last night, and they were only twenty kilometers from Lemberg, where the Russian defenders had already appeared. They did not encounter a single Russian army on the way, and Rudolph could tell that the Russians were either shrinking their forces and gathering in Lemberg to wait for reinforcements, or they had transferred all their reserves to support the front line.

At seven o'clock, the troops set off in a mighty manner. Rudolph reported his location to the command, saying that he was going to hold off Russian reinforcements. The High Command agreed to his plan and swore to him that the Russian troops would not be transferred from Poland and the Baltic, because the Germans were also going to attack on the Eastern Front.

The reason why the Germans were able to draw their forces was only because the Western Front entered a state of confrontation. German troops firmly occupied the industrial belt of northern France. In order to maintain morale, Xia Fei launched more than 30 attacks on the Champagne region in winter, and the Entente suffered heavy losses, advancing two kilometers. Then in February, the Germans launched another assault on Soissons, and the two armies were caught in a tug-of-war, and the Germans were defeated. The German General Staff began to conceive of crushing the Russians and prompting the signing of a peace agreement between Britain and France.

No one is having a hard time now. The Ottomans completely switched to the defensive. They attacked Salkamosh in the snow-capped mountains of the Caucasus, and all 100,000 troops were annihilated, and the Turks retreated to Aisrun. Relying on German well technology, they successfully crossed the Sinai Desert and raided the Suez Canal, where British reconnaissance planes discovered them, and finally cost them ten times as many casualties as the defenders.

The British continued the same tactics against Napoleon, and they blockaded the continent, but this did not affect German industrial production. Germany, which had transitioned to a wartime economic system, exploded with amazing potential:

Rifle production: Germany 8.547 million, Austria-Hungary 3.5 million, France 2.5 million, Britain 3.854 million, Russia 3.3 million, Italy 2.4 million, United States 3.5 million

Artillery production: 64,000 in Germany, 15,900 in Austria-Hungary, 23,200 in France, 26,400 in Britain, 11,700 in Russia, 6,500 in Italy, and 4,000 in the United States

Germany supplied the entire Allies with equipment, and it was in the first place in the production of all weapons.

Not long ago, Hipper's battle cruisers and Strasse's airships also attacked the British mainland.

The British realized the horror of modern warfare, and they exerted influence on all fronts. Britain encouraged Romania, Italy, and Greece to enter the war and promised support for it. Greece refused, Italy accepted Anglo-French weapons and equipment, and Romania received a loan of five million pounds.

Austria must show its strength and deter these two imminent neighbors.

On 10 February, Rudolph made a long run with his semi-mechanized troops and arrived at the location of the reconnaissance company at 9 o'clock.

Not far away were the sentry posts of the Russian army, which had already been spotted by the Russians. It was a surprise that such a large contingent appeared 20 kilometers outside of Lemberg and was not detected.

Rudolph was already very content, thanks to the overwhelming superiority of the air force, there were few Russian planes in the sky, the Russians were busy exchanging fire with large forces, although they knew that there was a breakthrough in the army, but the 36th regiment had already entered the rear of the Russian army in Shamner. The Russian commanders all thought that it was an Austro-Hungarian assault force, and no one would have thought that Rudolph would directly cross the battlefield and go straight to Huanglong.

Lemberg City, command of the Russian army. Lieutenant General Sergei received the news, and the first thing he worried about was not himself, but the Russian troops at the front. The Austrians hit the city of Lemberg, and he took it for granted that the Russians had retreated. But no one reported to him about the movements of the Russian army, he first reported to the army group, and then contacted the troops of the 12th Army and his 7th Army. The troops on the front line poured bitter water on him, the enemy attacked fiercely, we were struggling to hold on, we needed reinforcements.

Sergei threw away these messages, and now he is unable to protect himself. He was the commander of the Lemberg city defense, and he was also the commander of the 7th Army, and his three divisions and troops directly under the army were basically on the front line, and he is now a veritable commander of the light pole.

The instructions were given by the army group, and Brusilov clearly told Sergey. The Austro-Hungarian unit using the chariot was still in Sumna, and it was only the reconnaissance unit that arrived in Lemberg, and he only had to expel the lone Austro-Hungarian army. To reassure the commander, Brusilov assured that reinforcements would arrive in four days.

Sergei was still a little flustered, he was a military commander, and there were only 7,300 men under his command, of which 4,500 were non-combatants such as engineers, military doctors, and transporters, because Lemberg was in the rear, and there were not even minor wounded in the hospital. Pieced together, a regiment under repair plus the guards of the military headquarters, Sergei had only about three thousand combat troops.

Rudolph was also frightened, and when he looked at the city, he instinctively thought of brutal street fighting. Although there is no relevant concept in this era, Rudolph estimates that the strength of the Russian army is almost the same as him, and he can defeat the Russian army, but it must be as soon as possible, not more than two days.
