Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire
Chapter 435 Brusilov’s Breakthrough Battle
Late one night in August 1914, Zhao Xu was sitting in the main seat in the military conference room of the Great Xia Empire.
On the left and right sides of the long conference table, Pan Chengzhang, Lin Yi, Li Fu and other civil and military officials sat.
Each of their faces had a solemn expression.
"Let's talk about it. Why did you call me here tonight for something important?" Zhao Xu, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to speak.
After he finished saying this, his eyes scanned everyone in the conference room.
Now the entire conference room is filled with the top figures of the empire, and no one with a slightly lower rank can enter this conference room.
Outside this conference room, and even the entire office building, all irrelevant personnel have been cleared. There are a large number of imperial guards outside this conference room. It can be said that not even a fly can enter this conference room.
After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Lin Yi raised his chin towards Li Fu who was opposite him, indicating that Li Fu should speak first.
When Li Fu saw Lin Yi's signal, he stood up and said to Zhao Xu, who was in charge: "Your Majesty, the Rakshasa Empire sent a special envoy to submit an armistice treaty to us."
"Well, an armistice treaty? How come?" Zhao Xu frowned when he heard Li Fu's words.
Although he handed over all war operations to the military, he still wanted to read the battle reports.
As far as he knew, although the Rakshasa Empire was at a disadvantage on the battlefield, it was not yet ready to surrender.
Therefore, Zhao Xu looked at Li Fu with confusion, hoping that Li Fu could give him an explanation.
As for Li Fu, he also looked helpless and didn't know where to start.
In fact, the real situation in the Rakshasa Empire is more complicated and corrupt than what the outside world knows. It has even developed in the direction that Lin Yi is most worried about.
As mentioned before, Goremekin proposed to Nicholas II to launch a large-scale campaign to kick the Austro-Hungarian Empire out of the Balkans. As a result, he asked Nicholas Udovi, the Southwest Front of the Rakshasa Empire, to General Ivanov launched the Galician Campaign.
This battle ended with the Rakshasa Empire narrowly defeating the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, because Goremekin was unwilling to continue to provide support to Ivanov and asked him to march decisively, the Hans Empire was defeated in Gorlice. The Rakshasa Empire.
The final result was that the Southwestern Front returned with a disastrous defeat. General Ivanov was transferred from the Southwestern Front and returned to St. Petersburg to face trial.
The person who replaced General Ivanov was General Alexey Alexeyevich Brusilov.
After General Brusilov took over the Southwest Front Army, he was keenly aware that there were some people with dangerous ideas in the Southwest Front Army who were spreading some unfriendly remarks towards Nicholas in the army.
In the end, Brusilov decided to use a big victory to re-energize the military morale that was about to hit the bottom, and to ease the suppression of such remarks.
Therefore, on April 1914, 4, General Brusilov organized a large-scale offensive plan.
At this time, the Southwest Front Army had experienced half a year of rest, its troops, weapons and ammunition were fully prepared, and its strength had reached its highest point.
From April 4 to the end of July, General Brusilov launched a breakthrough battle at Lake Narach in the Vilnius region of Ukraine.
The strength of both sides participating in this battle was that the Rakshasa Empire deployed 40 infantry divisions, approximately 57.3 people, and 15 Cossack cavalry divisions, approximately 6 people at the beginning. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Hans Empire had 40 infantry divisions plus 10 cavalry divisions, totaling 46.7 people.
It can be said that this is another large-scale battle involving millions of people.
The Southwest Front Army plans to use the 8th Army to launch the main offensive in the direction of Lutsk on a 21-kilometer-wide front. The other group armies will select several breakthrough areas to take action in order to break through at multiple points on the 450-kilometer-wide front to defeat the enemy. It is difficult to determine the direction of the main attack and cannot send troops to the main attack direction.
At the beginning of the war, the Southwest Front attacked the entire Austro-Hungarian defense line with short but precise artillery barrages, catching the Austro-Hungarian Empire somewhat off guard.
You must know that before this, whether it was the Rakshasa Empire, the Hans Empire, or the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there would also be artillery preparations, but that kind of artillery fire did not have a specific target, but only carried out artillery bombardment at a rough location.
This gave the soldiers in the trenches enough time to escape the artillery fire.
But now, Brusilov changed his normal behavior and directly used accurate and short-lived artillery to attack the entire defense line, and then charged with infantry. The Austro-Hungarian soldiers were given no time to react.
The trend of the battle was just as Brusilov expected. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's frontline positions quickly collapsed under such an offensive, and the Roman Empire broke into the Austro-Hungarian Empire's defense lines.
In just four days, the Luocai Empire broke into Lusk. Archduke Josof Ferdinand, the commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian front line, could only reluctantly evacuate Lusk 6 hours ago.
This shows how fast the Rakshasa Empire broke in. It only took 6 hours to capture Archduke Ferdinand, the commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
As the Rakshasa Empire quickly broke into the defense line, a large number of soldiers from the Austro-Hungarian Empire surrendered.
In these four days alone, the Rakshasa Empire captured more than 20 prisoners.
On the same day that Lusk fell, the Allied camp held a military meeting. Erich von Falkenhayn, the Chief of General Staff of the Hans Empire, successfully persuaded his Austro-Hungarian representative Herzendorf to withdraw the troops on the southern front from Italy to Galicia to deal with the Rakshasa Empire.
Subsequently, Marshal Hindenburg, the commander-in-chief of the Hans Empire, used the Hans Empire's comprehensive railway system to project backup forces to the front line.
On May 5, Evert led a loose and ill-prepared offensive. By May 18, Alexander von Lenzingen launched a counterattack against the Rakshasa Empire in the south of Kovel, and finally temporarily curbed the Rakshasa Empire's offensive.
The High Command of the Rakshasa Empire began to transfer troops from Evert's front line to support Brusilov.
However, this transfer was rejected by General Brusilov on the grounds that too many troops would only cause his front line to become messy.
At the same time, starting from April 4 to the end of June, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Empire experienced almost three months of high-intensity combat. Both the soldiers' psychology and the supplies stored by the Rakshasa Empire had bottomed out.
Therefore, in early July, General Brusilov stopped the offensive. This battle named after General Brusilov has officially come to an end.
The result of this battle was that the Rakshasa Empire defeated the Allies' 50 million army at the cost of 110 losses, of which more than 40 were prisoners.
It can be said that this battle was the most glorious battle of the Rakshasa Empire during the entire war period and the Warring States Period.
