Chapter 1516 Dying Struggle 2

"I know this, but hope still exists. His Majesty's request is very simple. You and your troops must block their opponents in the area west of the Dnieper River before the autumn harvest! Without food in this area, we will not even have this winter. I can't make it!" Nikolaev said.

The Grand Duke did not tell Borusinov what he should do, but in fact, Borusinov realized that he had no choice, because, on the northern line of Ukraine, the Bavarian Army had already hit the riverside, and it was now closed. After 2 weeks, it is estimated that at most another three weeks of rest, the offensive can be launched again, and Borusinov is definitely unable to stop it. Therefore, the only way now is to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Find soft persimmons on the southern line, and then force the Bavarian Army to go south to rescue, thereby delaying the German offensive.

After recalling the meeting with Grand Duke Nikolaev, Borusinov already knew what to do. He must launch an active offensive, and the attack direction can only choose the southernmost Hungarian army, for no other reason, because the Russian army now has an overwhelming advantage when facing the Hungarians!

"They are too greedy." Looking at the deployment of the Hungarian army on the sand table, Borusinov finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. In fact, as the unitary of a dual empire, Hungary is not as strong as Austria and does not have a large amount of aid from Bavaria. However, in the case of a national war, it is still possible to gather millions of troops, although the front is now deeply embedded. In Russia, if the Hungarian forces can be concentrated on the front line, with the current level of the Russian army, it will be very difficult to severely damage the opponent.

But unfortunately, at this time, the Hungarian's own mistake helped Borusinov a big favor! At present, a considerable part of the Hungarian army is deployed in the Romanian occupation zone and Bessarabia (later Moldova). The Hungarians were too anxious to include these places in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary, so they ignored the orders from the Austrian emperor and left a large number of troops here to strengthen local rule. Of course, most of the troops that can perform this kind of task are the Hungarian national troops, and this will not only weaken the strength of the front-line Hungarian Army, but also make the Hungarian Army lack cohesion.

You know, whether it is Germans in Austria or Hungarians, they account for less than a quarter of the total population of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire... In other words, if the population of the army is proportional, then the real Hungary in the Hungarian Legion cannot reach even half. The Hungarian Legion is mixed with a large number of ethnic minorities, such as Mazars, Croats, Serbs and Romanians... Unlike Austria, the latter, thanks to the efforts of the prince, the Germans and Czechs (Bohemians) of Austria are united under one kingship. The confluence of the two major nationalities made the Austrian Army more united. But Hungary is definitely impossible.

Especially now, a considerable part of the Hungarian army has been deployed to the rear to consolidate the occupied area. (You can't expect the Romanians from Hungary to suppress Romania, right?) Then the front line has become a large number of ethnic minority troops and a small number of Hungarians. army. Not to mention low combat effectiveness, let alone cohesion. and so. It is easy to cause a breakdown and a complete collapse! (In fact, this problem also exists in the Russian army and the Soviet army in later generations. For example, in Operation Mars, the combat regulations issued by the Soviet army included a point in which non-Russian personnel were taken apart and used.)

And what makes Borusinov even more ridiculous is that the nominal commander of this army is actually Archduke Karl, a hairy boy who is only 22 years old, and that guy of this age can be a company commander in the Russian army. ! "

"Hehe, ridiculous nobleman." Borusinov had to sigh. The woods are big and there are all kinds of birds, and they are both royals. They can come out like Ruprecht, and they may come out like Duke Karl. Of parallel imports. But with such a person as the commander-in-chief of the Hungarian Army, Borusinov is still very happy.

But in fact, Archduke Karl was not as unbearable as Borusinov thought. He knew his military level was limited, so he rarely interfered in the operations of the Hungarian Army. He is more of a sign, a representative of the central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Hungarian Legion. At the same time, he is here for melee combat and qualifications, while contacting a group of his followers. Don't doubt, this buddy can think of going to Hungary as a king in history as a personal talent!

If we talk about the attitude of the major forces in the Allied powers towards war, the Bavarian Legion is desperate to prepare for war, Prussia is serious about preparing for war, and Austria is doing its best to prepare for war, but if there is enough power but not enough, then Hungary is ready to paddle and share the dividends of war. Up. Just like in this plane, within Germany, Prussia and Bavaria share the fruits of victory. As the unitary of the dual empire, Hungary also thought of it the same way, but unlike Bavaria, the former intends to contribute less and take advantage...

And if this idea is implemented in war~lightnovelpub.net~ then it will be like now, a greedy man spreads on a huge cake, he tries his best to eat more without considering his own Whether the appetite has been received, and what is more terrible is that he forgot that beside the cake, there is still an enemy who is staring at him! In this case, who do you not beat? !

After choosing the target, Borusinov began to seize the time to prepare for this battle. This is a gamble, a war that determines the nation’s fortunes. Therefore, this time, Borusinov did not keep it. He decided to fight him. All the cards in hand!

"Order, the Seventh Army mobilizes 5 divisions to move to the center line, and then the Eighth Army in the middle mobilizes 7 divisions to strengthen the Ninth Army on the southern line! At the same time, 2 divisions are drawn from the Eighth Army. As a general reserve team!" Borusinov’s first order was to move the entire force deployment to the south. As for the defense of the Bavarian Army from the north? Well, in fact, Borusinov is betting that the Bavarian Legion will not take the initiative to attack at this time, and he is also betting that if he succeeds, the Bavarian Legion will choose to go south to support instead of taking the opportunity to break through the Dnieper.

Big push today~~~! Last time, can you please support me? Three shifts today~~~! Three shifts tomorrow~~~!
