Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar
Chapter 69: The Counterattack Begins (Second Change, Please Collect!)
The war between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire attracted the attention of the whole of Europe and even the whole world.
Although, the Russian Empire is obviously stronger than the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. However, the combined strength of these two countries is not much inferior to that of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
So much so that the empire on which the sun never sets is hiding behind, and is ready to watch the blood of several countries fighting on the battlefield flow into rivers, and both sides will suffer.
However, the development of the subsequent battle left people and other countries dumbfounded.
The performance of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army on the battlefield was completely beyond their expectations.
Facing the attacks of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the Tsarist Russian Army easily held the line of defense. And, it doesn't seem like much effort.
Instead, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire paid great losses during the offensive.
Such a result made the Sun Buset people dumbfounded. It was obviously different from their previous expectations!
At the same time, the Tsarist Russian Empire Army was equipped with a large number of artillery and Maxim heavy machine guns, which also attracted the attention of various countries.
In particular, military powers such as the Empire on which the sun never sets, the Germanic Empire, and Gaul have increased the number of artillery and Maxim heavy machine guns in the army in order to further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army.
However, this is a bit blind for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
Originally, both the Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire believed that the joint efforts of the two countries should be able to defeat the Russian Empire. In other words, it should be able to have a great advantage on the battlefield.
But the current battlefield situation is completely opposite to their expectations.
As a party participating in the war, they are more aware of how serious the consequences will be if they fail in this battle.
Not only will a large number of troops be lost on the battlefield, but at the same time, great benefits will inevitably be lost.
As for how much benefit will be lost in the end, it depends on the appetite of the Russian Empire and the final development of the war situation.
If Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire suffered heavy losses, and the Tsarist Empire won a brilliant victory. Then, they will inevitably pay a huge price.
And this is naturally not what the top leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire wanted to see.
Both Franz Joseph I and Abdul Hamid II issued strict orders to the front-line generals, asking them to intensify their attacks, and they must defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire Army no matter what.
Moreover, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire have also increased their mobilization efforts, and they must consider if the war is unfavorable.
If the battle goes wrong, they may have to send more troops to the battlefield. Otherwise, the Tsarist Russian Empire would certainly not mind seizing this opportunity to severely injure them.
On the battlefield, the offensive of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies continued.
Although the armies of both countries suffered a lot of losses, the domestic orders made them only able to continue to attack.
It can be said that the initiative on the battlefield still seems to be in their hands.
However, although the Tsarist Russian Empire Army remained on the defensive. But their losses were not great.
Even, the Tsarist Russian Army only deployed a part of its troops on the front line, relying on powerful firepower to cause great damage to the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army. The rest of the troops will save their combat power and be ready to rotate the front-line troops at any time, or invest in counterattacks when the time is right.
Time passed bit by bit, and the war broke out for a week in a blink of an eye.
During this week's battle, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies were still unable to break through the defense line of the Tsarist Russian army, but suffered heavy losses.
As a result, the attack strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army is also constantly decreasing.
After all, the Tsarist Russian Empire Army has strong firepower.
Especially in defensive operations, the Tsarist Russian Empire Army was able to give full play to its powerful firepower advantage.
Every attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army was indistinguishable from death.
After a week of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Austro-Hungarian Army have reached tens of thousands. The losses of the Ottoman Army were no less than those of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
Moreover, the offensive was frustrated and the loss of troops had soared, which had greatly affected the fighting will of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Army. The morale of many troops has fallen to the bottom. If this continues, the troops may collapse once they suffer heavy losses.
Under such circumstances, Admiral Gurko believes that the time is ripe for a counterattack.
Therefore, Admiral Gurko immediately sent a telegram to the General Staff, requesting a counterattack.
After discussing with Tsar Mikhail, the chief of the general staff, General Brusilov, and the Minister of War, General Sukhomlinov, they agreed to General Gurko's request for a counterattack.
