“The 9th Army, under the command of the 4th Panzer Division, the 9th Cavalry Brigade, the 9th Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 9th Infantry Division, the 19th Infantry Division, the 29th Infantry Division, the 39th Infantry Division, the 49th Infantry Division, the 59th Infantry Division, and the 69th Infantry Division, attacked south from East Prussia and advanced toward Birch Sand.
The 11th Army and the 12th Army attacked eastward. Among them, the 11th Army attacked Rhodes and then advanced towards birch sand. The 12th Army made a detour towards Lublin! ”
General Hindenburg, the new commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, gave the order to attack in a huff.
This time, the Germanic Army sent three armies, and with the exception of the 9th Army, which left three infantry divisions to defend East Prussia, the rest of the troops were engaged in the offensive.
They were facing only the 9th Army of the Russian Army, an army group with a total strength of only more than 200,000 troops.
To resist the attack of two or three times the strength of the Germanic Empire is simply delusional.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Thousands of artillery pieces roared, and one shell after another slammed into the russian army’s defenses.
The hastily constructed defensive line could not withstand the intensive artillery fire of the Germanic Imperial Army.
In the sky, hordes of planes crossed the border and flew over the heads of the Russian soldiers, strafing and dropping bombs, inflicting even greater losses on the Russian soldiers. At the same time, it is also fiercely demoralizing them.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Germanic Imperial Army, especially when the troops were still completely inferior, the 9th Army of the Russian Empire could not resist at all.
One after another, the troops were defeated and annihilated.
The Germanic Imperial Army drove straight in.
In particular, the 9th Army, which was moving south from East Prussia, the 4th Panzer Division, the 9th Cavalry Brigade, and two infantry divisions, was unable to resist the attack of the Tsarist Army.
The force moved rapidly toward birch sand. Perhaps, it will not be long before the army will be able to go down to the city.
Birch Sand, the headquarters of the Northwest Army Group of the Russian Army.
General Zhlinsky and General Letssky, commander of the 9th Army, both had sad faces on their faces.
“Your Excellency, the Germans have thrown in a large army to attack, and their offensive is fierce. My troops simply could not resist their attack. Moreover, the losses of troops are also getting bigger and bigger. If we continue like this, I am afraid that we will soon be defeated. General Recsky looked frustrated.
“Damn, it was the 1st and 2nd Armies who were greedy and adventurous, and the Germans seized the opportunity to wipe them out. Otherwise, how could the situation have deteriorated to such an extent? Admiral Zhlinsky was very annoyed.
He had received the news that Tsar Nicholas II had been ready to dispose of him.
However, because the situation in Russian Bolan is critical. Therefore, Nicholas II did not dispose of him, but let him guard the Russian Bolan and make a meritorious deed.
But the difference in strength between the two sides was so large, and the offensive of the Germanic army was so fierce, how could they resist it!
“Your Excellency, the Germanic troops from the north to the south are advancing very fast. Moreover, it is also equipped with a large number of steel fighting vehicles, which are new weapons, and our troops are even more unable to resist. In two days at most, you will hit the birch sand. We have to prepare early! General Recsky said.
“His Majesty the Tsar’s order is to demand that we hold the Russian Bleulands and that we must not allow the Germans to capture it. Otherwise, both of us would be in big trouble. His Majesty the Tsar has sent the Guards to reinforce us. As long as we hold out for a while, reinforcements will arrive. Admiral Zhlinsky said.
General Recsky smiled bitterly: “Your Excellency, General, can we really hold out until the reinforcements arrive?” I’m afraid, it’s not possible at all! ”
Admiral Zhlinsky also knew this, and it was indeed a little too difficult for the strongman.
“Your Excellency, if this is not possible, perhaps we can abandon birch sand, abandon most of the Russian Porphyra, and retreat to the eastern region. In this way, it can join the reinforcements and build a defensive line against the Germanic attack! General Letssky advised.
Admiral Zhlinsky thought for a moment: “This is a very good idea, just do it!” ”
On 18 September, the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Germanic Imperial Army took the lead in hitting birch sand.
At this moment, the main force of the 9th Army of the Russian Army stationed in birch sand has withdrawn from birch sand.
This allowed the Germanic Army to capture birch sand without bloodshed.
The Bolans living here all stared at the Germans in horror, fearing that the Germans would be more brutal than the Russians when they became their new masters.
However, the Germanic Army did not have time to deal with the Bolans now. Their duty was to pursue the Tsars and eliminate as much as possible the living forces of the Tsars.
On 21 September, the main forces of the Germanic Imperial Army’s 9th Army, the main force of the 11th Army and the 12th Army launched a massive attack on the 9th Army of the Russian Army in the eastern part of the Russian Polish Blue.
With heavy losses, the Russian Army’s 9th Army collapsed almost without a fight and was easily defeated.
Under such circumstances, the remnants of the 9th Army of the Russian Army had withdrawn from the Russian Bollan.
The whole of Russian Poland had been captured by the Germanic Army.
At this moment, reinforcements from the Russian Army were only late, and two armies of the Guards arrived at the front, and four hundred thousand men, plus the remnants of the 9th Army, confronted the Germanic Army.
However, after taking the Russian Polish Blue, the Germanic Army did not continue to attack.
Because, before long, the cold winter is coming. If you invade the territory of the Russian Empire at this time, the logistics supply line will be very long, which is not conducive to the next battle.
At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Army, on the Western Front, was preparing to launch another large-scale offensive into the northern part of Gaul. A large amount of war materials must be given priority to supplying the western battlefield.
Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly more advantageous for the Germanic Army to take the initiative to stop the offensive and instead absorb the newly occupied territories.
The victory of the Germanic Imperial Army on the eastern front also forced the Tsarist Army Southwest Army Group, although it defeated the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the battlefield, did not dare to pursue deeply, for fear that the Germanic Army would turn around and attack them. It also indirectly supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s war.
