“Your Majesty, judging by the direction of the attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army, their target is speechless about our Southwestern Front and even the Western Front. However , the Western Front was located north of the Carpathian Range. It would be relatively difficult for Austria-Hungary to encircle our Western Front. But the Southwestern Front is undoubtedly in a huge crisis now. ”
In front of a large military map, the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Brusilov, introduced.
“The Southwestern Front has only 3 army groups, and its strength is too weak. Now, there can be no longer an offensive. Order the Southwestern Front to shrink in full, move to a defensive posture, and wait for reinforcements!” ordered Mikhail.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” replied Marshal Brusilov.
“Let the 1st Army go to reinforcements and join the order of operations of the Southwestern Front. In addition, the 26th Group “160” Army of the Imperial Army, the 27th Army and the 28th Army also advanced to the southwest, joining the order of operations of the Southwestern Front. In this way, the total strength of the entire Southwestern Front would reach 7 army groups. Although it is still at a disadvantage in terms of strength. However, if fully defended, it should be able to withstand the attack of Austria-Hungary. Mikhail continued.
“Yes, Your Majesty. But in this way, we have far fewer armies to defend against the Germans. After all, we had planned to use these troops to defend against the attack of the Germans. Marshal Brusilov reminded.
“We can be fully sure that the Austro-Hungarian Empire launched an all-out offensive and was inextricably linked to the Germans. Perhaps predictably, the Germanic offensive will soon begin. But even then, we had to find a way to fend off the Austro-Hungarian attack first. The Southwestern Front and the Western Front were united, and there were already 11 army groups. Even in the face of the attack of the superior forces of Austria-Hungary, it would not be too much of a problem to defend alone. The rest of the troops, we use against the Germans!” said Mikhail.
He had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army of the Russian Empire, and believed that even in the face of the superior forces of the Austro-Hungarian Army, he would be able to hold on.
After all, in defensive operations, the advantages of the Tsarist Imperial Army in weapons and equipment, especially in firepower, can be brought into full play.
Perhaps, it can also inflict great casualties on the Austro-Hungarian Army in defensive operations. In this way, it will also be of great help to the next counterattack.
As for the main forces of the Russian Imperial Army, they still had to be used against the Germans.
In Mikhail’s concept, the threat of the Germans is always the first priority, which is the greatest threat to the Russian Empire and the focus of the Russian Empire.
Marshal Brusilov and others nodded one after another.
They could naturally guess that once the Russian Empire transferred a large number of troops to the southwestern battlefield. Then, it will inevitably give the Germanic Empire an opportunity. At that time, the army of the Germanic Empire will launch a fierce attack on the Russian Empire.
In addition, the 21st Army and the 22nd Army approached north from the southern Balkans. In any case, be sure to intercept the Ottoman Army and the Army of the Kingdom of Romea Muja heading south. Relying on the Balkan Mountains, this should not be too much of a problem!” ordered Mikhail.
Although, two army groups, more than 400,000 people. They faced half a million Austro-Hungarian Army and 200,000 Army of the Kingdom of Romemlaya, which were completely inferior in terms of strength. However, in a defensive battle alone, it should not be difficult to resist the armies of Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romenia. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Army of the Kingdom of Romenia is not so strong.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” replied Marshal Brusilov.
Thus, the Russian Empire used a total of 13 army groups against Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romenia. Although in terms of troops, it is completely inferior. However, given the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the armies of the Kingdom of Romenia, it should be able to survive defensive operations. And the mobilization of the Russian Empire continued.
When the subsequent troops of the Tsarist Empire were mobilized and had more troops, there should be no big problem in defeating the Austro-Hungarian attack.
Next, the main energy of the Russian Empire will be placed on the Germans. Get ready to defend against the Germanic attack. After defeating the Germans, the Russian Empire had enough strength to take over Austria-Hungary and the kingdom of Romenia.
“Your Majesty, in this case, we still have the 2nd Army, the 8th Army, and the third mobilized 29th Army, 30th Army, 31st Army, 32nd Army, 33rd Army, 34th Regiment Army and 35th Army 0.9 army strength, I am afraid that some of them are not enough to deal with the Germans. War Minister General Sukhomlinov replied. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Mikhail nodded, nine army groups, less than two million people. It was indeed not enough to deal with the next large-scale attack of the Germans. Therefore, in order to ensure that nothing was lost in the next battle, the Russian Empire had to mobilize more troops.
“Order the 5th Army to leave immediately for the European region to prepare for battle. In addition, did the fourth group of mobilized troops form combat effectiveness?” asked Mikhail.
In the absence of troops, Mikhail could only put the newly formed troops into battle.
“Your Majesty, the fourth batch of mobilized troops have already formed combat effectiveness. In terms of combat effectiveness, there may be a slight gap with the previous elite. However, the gap will not be too big. At least, in terms of weapons and equipment, they are fully equipped. General Sukhomlinov replied.
“Very good, the fourth group of mobilized 7 armies will be deployed to the second-line position. They will become reserves. Once the front-line troops could not withstand the attack of the Germans. Then it’s time for him to go into battle,” Hal ordered.
“Yes, 1.8 Your Majesty!” replied General Sukhomlinov.
“Also, has the mobilization of the fifth batch begun?” Mikhail then asked.
The enemy is menacing and powerful. The Russian Empire could only maximize its advantages. Only as many troops as possible can be mobilized.
“Your Majesty, the fifth batch of 13 army groups has basically completed recruitment. However, these are recruits with no service experience, and they have been trained for a long time to form combat effectiveness. It is expected that in half a year these troops will be sent to the battlefield!” replied General Sukhomlinov.
“We have already assembled 17 army groups on the front line, and even if the Germans are strong, it is always no problem to support them for half a year. At that time, we will have enough troops to deal with them!” Mikhail is confident.
