Slide 1546
”No, I must end this offensive now! No, not only must the offensive be ended, the Hungarian legions must also be let go, otherwise, the consumption will be too large, and my legions will not be able to recover their combat effectiveness in a short time!” Borusi Nov said in his heart.
So Borusinov decided to change his trick! He began to shrink his strength, he wanted to end this offensive as soon as possible. Continuing to attack the Hungarian Legion, which has become a weak chicken, has very limited meaning. In a short period of time, Borusinov has already thought about what he will do. He wants to take advantage of the fact that he still has the materials in his hand. For the rest, the newly concentrated force has not yet been deployed to adjust the attack direction. He wants to try to attack the Austrian Legion, and then force the Bavarian Legion to abandon crossing the river and choose to go south.
Borusinov believes that Bavaria can sit back and watch the defeat of the Hungarian Army, but will never watch the Austrian Army fall into a siege without saving! This is not only because the prince is the son-in-law of the Austrian emperor, but also because the Allied powers must ensure the stability of the Austria-Hungary Empire. Therefore, the Austrian Legion cannot go wrong.
However, Borusinov, who thought of this, moved his gaze subconsciously, and saw the crimson circle under the map! And these things made Borusinov extremely disgusted!
”Damn Germans!” What Borusinov saw was the Prussian army of about 70,000 people in three divisions commanded by Lieutenant General von Sekert, who was under siege! When the Hungarian Army was defeated, Lieutenant General Sekte did not choose to evacuate together. Instead, he collected all the materials left by the Hungarians, and then set up fortifications on his own ground. At the beginning, there was indeed a Russian army trying to crack open this iron walnut. However, after another bloodshed, the Russians gave up. However, the tens of thousands of German troops continued to concentrate their defenses within tens of ordinary kilometers.
But now, when Borusinov was about to shrink his forces, he realized that something had finally happened.... The contracted German army was stuck on the most uncomfortable waist of the Russians like a gallstone! If the Russian army wants to attack the Austrian army northward, then this German army is very likely to stabbing a knife in the back, and if it wants to eat the German army of Lieutenant General Sekkert first, it is not that easy. After all, there are three. The Manchu German division also had a lot of heavy equipment (compared to the Russian army). Borusinov felt that it was as difficult to gnaw down this army as it was to fight the Hungarian army again!
”Order, the cavalry units are ready to recycle. All the troops from the Caucasus region are transferred from the 4 armies to cross the Dnieper River, and then to the north, they are deployed in steps behind the front line between us and the Austrian Army. All the materials and supplies originally planned to be transported to the front In addition to meeting the most basic needs of the troops, all the food and grass will remain in place to prepare for the next battle. The Hungarian Legion, which cannot be annihilated or overtaken within three days, give up directly.”
Borusinov was thinking about his own capital. This battle has consumed about half of his material reserves until now. If he gives up, then the remaining materials plus the materials accumulated in the next month are completely Can play a wave of offensive threats to Austria.
”Well, let's do that first.” At this point, all he can do is pray that the Bavarian Legion will not launch an attack within a month, so as not to disrupt his plan!
But could the actual situation be what Borusinov thought? Naturally impossible! At this time, the main force of the Bavarian Army led by Prince Leopold on the northern line of Ukraine was ready to launch a final assault. The entire 14 full-man Bavarian divisions and a total of 260,000 troops were concentrated on the west bank of the Dnieper River. And this is only the first wave of troops, behind them, there are 6 divisions, a total of about 120,000 reserve teams are ready to go into battle at any time!
