Germanic Empire: please call me William III
Chapter 158
Königsberg, East Prussia.
It was not only the capital of East Prussia, but also the headquarters of the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire.
The current commander of the 9th Army is General Hindenburg, a general from the Junker nobility who is extremely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
The Germanic Army’s major victory on the Western Front made General Hindenburg and the generals of the 9th Army as a whole cheer. As we all know, this battle was too important for the Germanic Empire.
The army won on the front line, which meant that they were one step closer to the final victory.
At the same time, the entire 9th Army was also looking forward to it, waiting for Lao Maozi’s attack. They are also eager to fight, eager to be able to win.
After the Tsarist Army Northwest Army Group began to move, the Germanic Imperial Army’s 9th Army immediately learned of the relevant news and immediately responded.
Admiral Hindenburg summoned General Von Prittwitz, deputy commander of the Army Group, General Max Hoffmann, chief of staff of the Army Group, and the division and brigade commanders under his command.
“Gentlemen, the Imperial Army has won a major victory on the battlefields of the Western Front, dealing a fierce blow to the arrogance of the Sun and the Gauls. However, the Russians were ready to attack us and support the Sun and the Gauls.
As warriors of the Empire, our mission is to hold East Prussia and annihilate the invading enemy! Although, our enemy is very strong and has a lot more troops than we do. However, I firmly believe that we will be able to win the final victory! ”
General Hindenburg looked very confident.
“Your Excellency, commander, the Russian 1st Army has 200,000 men, and the 2nd Army has 250,000 men, which is 2.25 times our strength.” General Von Plitwitz reminded.
“I know. However, the Russian Army was so combat-effective and poorly equipped that it could not be compared with our elite troops. I believe that one against two, or even one against three, is not a problem for our soldiers. Not to mention, we also have a powerful armored division. The battles of the armored forces on the battlefields of the Western Front have proved their strength. In addition to this, we have the support of a fighter wing and a bomber wing of the Air Force. With such a big advantage, Old Maozi absolutely cannot be our opponent! General Hindenburg said.
The other Germanic generals also nodded their heads.
Everyone is very confident about the next battle.
“Folks, that’s how I think about it. The Russians’ 1st Army, of 200,000 men, would advance north of Lake Masuria and east of Prussia. The Russian 2nd Army, with 250,000 men, was advancing north from the south of Lake Masuria. Their strategic intentions were already clear: to annihilate our army between Lake Masuria and the Vistula River.
There is no doubt that the 2nd Army of the Russian Army is their main force. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of the favorable terrain of lakes, rivers and swamps in the area north of Lake Masuri to resist layer by layer and resist the attack of the 1st Army of the Russian Army. At the same time, the main force was concentrated, south of Lake Masuria, to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Army of the Russian Army.
As long as we can accomplish this task, we will take out the 2nd Army of the Russian Army. Then, the 1st Army of the Russian Army will inevitably be frightened and flee. At that time, we are sending the main force to launch an attack and try to annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”
General Hindenburg laid out his plans and plans.
A cadre of generals, while comparing the map and deducing at the same time, quickly determined the feasibility of this plan.
“General Von Plitwitz, I want you to lead three infantry divisions to resist the attack of the old Maozi’s 1st Army on the north side of Lake Masuria. The rest of the troops, led by me personally, were deployed north of the Vistula River, waiting for the main force of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army to take the bait! General Hindenburg said.
“Your Excellency, Commander, there is no problem at all, and the mission is guaranteed!” General Von Plitwitz answered immediately.
Although he knew very well that it would be very difficult and dangerous to block 200,000 Russians with three infantry divisions and more than 50,000 troops.
However, if it is well deployed, and at the same time the firepower superiority of the Germanic Imperial Army is used, it should not be too much of a problem to resist the attack of the Russians.
After all, there are only a few roads suitable for attack in lakes and rivers, as well as on the swampy north of Lake Masuria. As long as these places were held, they could resist the attack of the Russian Army.
“Given that the Russian Army has more troops, there are more artillery. Until we launch an offensive against the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, the fighter and bomber wings of the Air Force will fully support you, provide you with air fire support, and destroy the russian artillery as much as possible. When we launch an offensive against the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, all air power will have to be transferred to our side. General Hindenburg continued.
General Von Plitwitz nodded repeatedly, without any objection to this.
“Then, gentlemen, go down and get ready at once. The Empire will triumph, and God bless Germania! General Hindenburg shouted.
“The Empire will triumph, and God bless Germania!” The generals are also full of confidence.
Immediately, ten infantry divisions, a cavalry brigade, a heavy artillery brigade and an armored division under the command of the Germanic Army’s 9th Army immediately moved.
Among them, three infantry divisions were deployed north of Lake Masuri, ready to resist the attack of the 1st Army of the Russian Army and buy time for the main force to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Army of the Russian Army.
The rest of the troops, hidden between Lake Masuria and the Vistula River, awaited the arrival of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army.
On August 29, 1714, under the orders of Tsar Nicholas II, the Tsarist Army Northwest army group launched an attack.
The 1st Army of the Russian Army, led by General Leninkamp, attacked across the border towards north of Lake Masuria.
The 2nd Army of the Russian Army, led by General Samsonov, attacked from south of Masuria Lake.
At one time, more than 400,000 Russian troops came with great force, and in one fell swoop, they crushed the 9th Army of the German Empire Army and then captured the entire East Prussia.
The battlefield on the Eastern Front, which had been silent since the outbreak of the war, finally began to erupt into a fierce war.
