Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As we all know, the Hans Empire attached great importance to the development and utilization of artillery, which led to the Hans Empire equipping the army with a large number of artillery.

Now that the entire Eighth Group arrived on the battlefield, looking at the defensive positions constructed by the [-]th Caucasus Infantry Division, General Erich von Ludendorff simply did not want to spend too much time on these people.

Time is always lacking.

Now the two armies of the Rakshasa Empire are retreating towards the border. There, there is a complete defense system.

Erich von Ludendorff did not want to use his soldiers to fill the battle line, and invested his limited troops in pulling the battle line.

Therefore, he needed to eat part of the two armies of the Rakshasa Empire before they retreated to the defensive line. In this case, he will be more relaxed when attacking the border.

Therefore, General Erich von Ludendorff dispatched an infantry division from the Eighth Army to destroy the [-]th Infantry Division in the Caucasus, and he would lead the main force to bypass the defenses of the [-]th Infantry Division. Line, there is an urgent need to pursue the two armies of the Rakshasa Empire.

Plain areas have been the most unsuitable terrain for defense throughout the ages.

This is mainly because the terrain is too flat and the width of the battlefield that needs to be defended is too large.

For example, now, with the entire [-]th Caucasus Infantry Division spread out, a defense line of less than two kilometers has been formed.

Such a defensive line can't even make waves when facing the Eighth Army with a strength of [-] troops.

The infantry division left by Erich von Ludendorff can entangle them, leaving them unable to stop other Hans Empire armies.

As a result, the Eighth Army successfully bypassed the defense line of the [-]th Caucasus Infantry Division and continued to pursue the two armies of the Rakshasa Empire.

Chisov watched the enemy's main force bypass his defense line. He was angry and anxious. If they were really allowed to go around, then there would be no point in him staying.

But he couldn't take the initiative to attack yet. After all, there was an infantry division of the Hans Empire in front of him, staring covetously at him. As long as you dare to move, they can pounce on you at any time.

Therefore, Chisov could only watch helplessly as Erich von Ludendorff led his Eighth Army to continue the pursuit.

At the same time, this does not mean that Chisov can sit back and relax if he does not stop him. The infantry division of the Hans Empire opposite them has launched artillery preparations for them and may attack them at any time.

Chisov could only suffer silently, not to mention that all their artillery had been lost in the previous battle. Even if they still have artillery, it can't compare to the number of artillery in the Hans Empire.

After enduring almost an hour of artillery attacks, the infantry division on the opposite side stopped its artillery fire, and then the whistle of attack came from the opposite position.

Chisov could only brace himself and let the brothers of the highly accelerated [-]th Infantry Division prepare for defense.

The entire attack lasted three hours and ended. Due to the lack of reinforcements, logistical supplies, and fire support, Chisov only blocked the Hans Empire for three hours before being completely annihilated.

Chisov was shot in the chest and died on the battlefield.

On the other side, Erich von Ludendorff led his Eighth Army, ten kilometers in front of the border, and successfully surrounded the Rakshasa Empire's Second Army with a left and right pincer offensive.

Then Erich von Ludendorff issued an order to concentrate all the artillery of the Eighth Army and launch an attack on the surrounded Second Army of the Rakshasa Empire.

Even, since the Eighth Army's right wing has a railway leading to Fugenro, Fugenro can directly lead to Königsberg. There is also a train gun in Königsberg.

Erich transferred a train gun directly from Königsberg.

When the huge train cannon opened fire, the siege of the Rakshasa Empire's Second Army was actually over.

It must be said that the train gun does not actually cause much damage to personnel. This thing is mainly used to deal with fortresses.

But things like train guns have a huge impact on morale. If they are not surrounded by a net, the best way for soldiers to face this kind of weapon is to try their best to get close to the opponent, and then find a way to destroy it.

Otherwise, just run as far as you can.

But now, the entire Second Army is surrounded by the Eighth Army of the Hans Empire. It is very difficult for them to break through the encirclement network, let alone destroy the opponent's train guns.

As for the First Army of the Rakshasa Empire, after learning that the Second Army was surrounded, they also wanted to rescue them, but they were beaten back.

The entire battle started from the late night of the 19th and the early morning of the 20th, when the Second Army was surrounded by the Eighth Group of the Hans Empire near Tannenberg, to September 9, when the entire Second Army surrendered. It only took 2 seconds in total. Days of time.

During these 12 days, the First Army of the Rakshasa Empire organized many rescue operations, but they were all beaten back by the Eighth Army.

In the end, I couldn't do anything and continued to stay here. Let alone rescuing the Second Army, I was afraid that even the First Army would be surrounded by the Hans Empire. In desperation, the General Staff of the Rakshasa Empire could only order the First Army via telegram. Give up rescue and retreat to the defensive line.

In the end, the Hans Empire annihilated the Rakshasa Empire's Second Army on the Eastern Front battlefield at the cost of 2 casualties, while the Rakshasa Empire suffered 13 casualties and 14 prisoners.

In almost one battle, the Rakshasa Empire's frontline troops were crippled.

At this time, Erich von Ludendorff felt that his Eighth Army should take advantage of the Rakshasa Empire's vitality to invade the Rakshasa Empire and force the Rakshasa Empire to withdraw from the war.

However, after discussion, Hans's imperial staff rejected his suggestion.

The reason is that Ludendorff's Eighth Army is needed more on the Western Front than on the Eastern Front. Therefore, it is fundamentally undesirable for Ludendorff to invade the Rakshasa Empire.

In addition, according to the agreement between the Hans Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, the Eastern Front battlefield was mainly handled by these two empires, because there were too many territorial disputes between them and the Rakshasa Empire.

Therefore, all things considered, there is no need for the empire to invest too many troops on the Eastern Front.

If it weren't for the Rakshasa Empire's sudden attack on Königsberg, the Imperial Staff would not even want to use Ludendorff.

For the empire, the Western Front battlefield is always higher than the Eastern Front battlefield. Therefore, the Empire decided to leave the Eastern Front to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire in accordance with the original agreement.

The Empire needed to concentrate all its forces on the Western Front. A large-scale battle was to be fought on the Western Front to disintegrate the Gallic Empire on the Western Front.

After receiving the reply from the Imperial Staff, Ludendorff cursed Moltke in his command room for his incompetence and shortsightedness.

He felt that during marching operations, how could one just follow the plan without considering the actual situation? Now that the Empire clearly has the upper hand on the eastern front, why not just take over the Rakshasa Empire in one go and force the Rakshasa Empire to withdraw from the war.
