Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Order, the 9th Army under the command of the 4th Panzer Division, the 9th Cavalry Brigade, the 9th Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 9th Infantry Division, the 19th Infantry Division, the 29th Infantry Division, the 39th Infantry Division, the 49th Infantry Division, the 59th Infantry Division and the 69th Infantry Division, to attack south from East Prussia and advance towards Birch.

The 11th Army and the 12th Army, attacking to the east. Among them, the 11th Army attacked Lodz, then advanced towards Birch. The 12th Army detoured towards Lublin! ”

General Hindenburg, the new commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, gave the order to attack.

This time, the Germanic Imperial Army dispatched three armies, except for the 9th Army, which left three infantry divisions in East Prussia, and the rest of the troops were thrown into the offensive.

And what they faced was nothing more than the 9th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army, a group army with a total strength of only more than 200,000.

To resist the attack of two or three times the forces of the Germanic Empire is simply delusional.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Thousands of guns were roaring, and shells smashed into the defense line of the Russian army.

The hastily constructed defensive line could not withstand the intensive artillery fire of the German Imperial Army.

In the sky, swarms of planes crossed the border and flew over the heads of the Russian soldiers, strafing and dropping bombs, inflicting greater losses on the Russian soldiers. At the same time, it is also hitting their morale hard.

In the face of the fierce attack of the German Imperial Army, especially when the strength was still completely inferior, the 9th Army of the Tsarist Imperial Army could not resist it at all.

One force after another was defeated and encircled.

The Germanic Imperial Army drove straight in.

In particular, the 9th Army moving south from East Prussia was attacked by the 4th Panzer Division , the 9th Cavalry Brigade , and two infantry divisions , and the Russian Army was unable to resist.

The force advanced rapidly towards Birch. Perhaps, it won’t take long to get to the city.

Birch, headquarters of the Northwestern Army Group of the Tsarist Army.

General Zhilinsky and General Letsky, commander of the 9th Army, had sad looks on their faces.

“Your Excellency, General, the Germans threw in a large number of troops to attack, and their offensive was fierce. My troops simply could not withstand their attack. Moreover, the losses of troops are growing. If this continues, I am afraid that we will soon be defeated. General Letsky looked frustrated.

“Damn, it was the 1st Army and the 2nd Army who were greedy and aggressive, and the Germans seized the opportunity and eliminated them. Otherwise, how could the situation have deteriorated to such an extent? Admiral Zhilinsky was very annoyed.

He had already received news that Tsar Nicholas II had already prepared to dispose of him.

However, because the situation in Russian Bolivia is critical. Therefore, Nicholas II did not dispose of him, but let him keep the Russian Bolan and make meritorious contributions.

But the gap in strength between the two sides is so large, and the offensive of the Germanic army is so fierce, how can they resist it!

“Your Excellency, General, the Germanic troops coming south from the north are advancing very fast. Moreover, it is equipped with a large number of new weapons such as steel combat vehicles, which our troops are even more unable to resist. In two days at most, the birch will come. We have to prepare early! General Letsky said.

“His Majesty’s order is that we hold the Russian Bolan region and absolutely not allow the Germans to capture it. Otherwise, both of us would be in big trouble. His Majesty the Tsar has already sent the Guards to reinforce us. As long as we hold out a little longer, reinforcements will arrive. Admiral Zhilinsky said.

General Letssky smiled bitterly: “Your Excellency General, can we really hold out until reinforcements arrive?” I’m afraid, it’s simply impossible! ”

Admiral Zhilinsky also knew this, and it was indeed too difficult for a strong man.

“Your Excellency, General, if not, perhaps we can abandon birch, abandon most of the Russian Bolan and retreat to the east. In this way, you can merge with reinforcements and build a defensive line to resist the attack of the Germans! General Letsky suggested.

Admiral Zhilinsky thought for a moment: “This is a very good idea, so let’s do it!” ”

On September 18, the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Germanic Imperial Army took the lead in attacking the city of Birch.

At this moment, the main forces of the 9th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army stationed in Birch have already withdrawn from Birch.

This allowed the Germanic Empire to capture Birch without bloodshed.

The Bolan people living here all looked at the Germans in horror, fearing that after the Germans became their new masters, they would be more brutal than the Tsars.

However, now the Germanic Imperial Army does not have time to take care of these Bolans. Their duty was to pursue the Russians and destroy as much of their living force as possible.

On September 21, the main forces of the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire Army , the main force of the 11th Army , and the part of the 12th Army launched a large-scale attack on the 9th Army of the Russian Army in the eastern part of the Russian Bolan Army.

With heavy losses, the 9th Army of the Russian Army almost collapsed without a fight and was easily defeated.

Under these circumstances, the remnants of the 9th Army of the Russian Army had withdrawn from the Russian Bolan territory.

The entire Russian Bolan had been captured by the Germanic Imperial Army.

At this moment, the reinforcements of the Russian army were belated, and two army groups of the Guards arrived at the front, and 400,000 people plus the remnants of the 9th Army faced off with the Germanic Imperial Army.

However, after taking the Russian Bollan, the Germanic Imperial Army did not continue to attack.

Because, soon, the cold winter will come. If the territory of the Russian Empire is invaded at this time, the logistics supply line will be very long, which is not conducive to the next battle.

At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Army on the Western Front was also preparing to launch another large-scale offensive and invade the northern part of Gaul. A large amount of war materials must be given priority to supply the battlefield on the Western Front.

Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly more advantageous for the Germanic Imperial Army to take the initiative to stop the offensive and digest the newly occupied territory instead.

The victory of the Germanic Imperial Army on the Eastern Front also forced the Southwestern Army Group of the Tsarist Russian Army to not dare to pursue deeply after defeating Austria-Hungary on the battlefield, for fear that the Germanic Imperial Army would turn around and go south and attack them. It also indirectly supported the Austro-Hungarian campaign.
