The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1528: Rout

Chapter 1528

General von Seekert didn’t know if he could rescue the 70,000 German troops by doing this. However, he knew that he had the greatest chance of surviving, whether he waited until the Bavarian Legion’s assistance or supported himself with the materials he collected. It can be delayed for the longest time. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to run. Once you decide to run, if you are overtaken by the Russian cavalry, then in front of the saber, the machine gun carriage and the rapid-fire gun, all infantry are equal... ….

As a result, the most magical scene of the First World War appeared. On the front of hundreds of kilometers, the Hungarian Legion collapsed, and in the middle of the battle line, the German Legion, which was not large in size, did not retreat and advanced, and began to quickly move closer to the Bork Division. Some "inhumane" ensnared some Hungarian troops and marched with their supplies! After converging with the friendly forces, the German army, with a total number of nearly 60,000, began to build ring positions and fortified themselves. The troops are concentrated in a relatively small area like a fist. This action did not attract Borusinov's attention.

The so-called break a little, shocked the whole line. After the Russian army broke the Hungarian army's defense line in many places, it finally kicked off the prelude to the big collapse. Even in those areas that were not attacked by the Russian army, the Hungarians were panicked all day long. The spread of rumors is so fatal and exaggerated. After three "changing hands", the original situation where part of the battle line was breached became "full line collapse."

Those Hungarians, who were not firm in their will, and who had become a little numb in the war for more than a year, began to leave their positions, and even went back aimlessly without knowing where to withdraw. Evacuate. They wanted to escape the fate of being hunted down, but in reality? After leaving the supply lines and military stations, the vast Ukrainian plains can tear this troop like a panic bird to pieces!

The whole situation was better than Borusinov had imagined, and the Hungarians were simply vulnerable. And just after the entire battle line was shaken, Borusinov decisively played the next card! Nearly 100,000 cavalry from 12 cavalry divisions began to attack in depth. They dismembered the Hungarian army like sharp razors, and shot at the vital point of the Hungarians like a deadly arrow!

At this time, the Russian 7th Cavalry Division was pursuing along a river. The Hungarians were not stupid. They knew very well that after a large number of troops were separated from the inherent supply system, only along the river could the troops' basic drinking water supply be guaranteed. However, you know, the Russians also know, so this cavalry unit didn't need to send too many investigators at all, it directly bit about 30,000 people in two divisions and one military headquarters of the Hungarian 4th Army!

So, at the corner of a river, 7000 Russian cavalry attacked 30,000 Hungarian soldiers. They followed like a pack of wolves. After smoothly killing the defenseless guards, the cavalry unit was divided into several. At the same time, they attacked this force.

The Russians didn’t have many weapons, only a dozen towed artillery pieces and dozens of machine-gun carriages. The combined firepower was not even stronger than that of an ordinary German regiment. However, under the circumstances of such defeat, 30,000 Many Hungarians looked like lambs to be slaughtered, watching with horror as the Russians rushed up with their sabers, and then chopped off their heads one by one.

The intensified artillery and machine gun fire scattered among the crowd. The damage caused by these weapons was very limited, and the saber lethality of the cavalry was also very limited. When the Russians started their offensive, it was not smooth, not to say how strong the resistance of Hungary was. But because there are too many people, it directly affected the cavalry charge. The entire battlefield is like a blunt knife cutting meat. After all, the Russian knife is a bit blunt, and although the opposite is a pig, the meat is too thick...

However, the Russians did not give up. They tried their best to attack, constantly consuming their own strength in each attack, and when the Russians' combat effectiveness was approaching the limit, the Hungarians finally collapsed! A large number of people poured into the river behind them desperately, trying to escape, but the avalanche effect caused by this caused the situation to collapse directly, and more people died in the trampling of their compatriots rather than the Russians. Under the attack, the red blood melted into the river, forming a red ribbon, and even directly dyed a section of the river red. In the end, this force only escaped with more than 6,000 people, and the remaining more than 20,000 Hungarians were all killed or captured. This is just a microcosm of the entire early stage of the Borusinov battle. The cloud of death enveloped the entire southern line. The collapse of the Hungarian Legion even caused some shock to the entire Eastern Front!

In the following week, the Russian army advanced a distance of about 80 to 150 kilometers across the southern line! The entire front was hit and sunk into a large chunk, and the Russian cavalry had penetrated the territory of Ukraine of later generations as far as possible, and arrived in the later Moldova region... According to the Russians, if they work harder, they will be able to see the border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire when the war begins! The defeat of the Hungarians exposed the flanks of the Austrian Legion to the front of the Russians, and the news of the defeat on the battlefield eventually spread back to Budapest, Vienna and Berlin!

In the eyes of William II and others, the Eastern Front, which has been in a good situation since the start of the war, seems to have reversed~lightnovelpub.net~ originally thought to have been defeated by Ruprecht’s Bavarian and Bohemian Legions The Russian army, which was about to collapse, regained its vitality like a hydra, and took a bite on the Hungarian. The hundreds of thousands of the Hungarian army was defeated if it was defeated. It was unacceptable for the German Emperor!

Moreover, what embarrassed the German Emperor was that he had just sent three divisions with a total of 70,000 German troops to support Hungary. The result was a direct defeat within a few days. Where did the German Emperor lose his face?

As a result, the Kaiser will not take care of the war on the Western Front for the time being. (Of course, there is no major action on the Western Front now. The two sides have just concluded a large-scale battle and are in a state of rest.) He called the entire General Staff, And some frontline generals are preparing to discuss the war in Ukraine, and even consider whether to send more German troops into Ukraine to help Grand Duke Karl and Hungary consolidate the battle line!

"Where is Ruprecht? What is he doing? As the head of the entire Eastern Front and the Balkan theater, the Ukrainian theater has had such a big problem, doesn't he have anything to say?" The Kaiser was outside for the first time. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the crown prince in such a fierce way!
