1545 After the high tide comes the low tide 1
"Our situation is very good. In 15 days, our front line has advanced 150 to 200 kilometers! We have defeated at least 6 Hungarian troops. So far, the total number of Hungarian troops we annihilated and captured has reached 180,000, which is equivalent to completely destroying one of their army. Now, our cavalry units are still advancing and are constantly destroying more corps stations and logistics facilities. More Hungarian troops will be trapped and eaten by us." At the Russian headquarters, a Russian army excitedly introduced the results of this period to Borusinov.
"Very good, this is an unprecedented victory after the war begins. This battle will inevitably change the situation on the entire Eastern Front! Let us attack those self-defeating guys for the sake of the Russian Empire and the Tsar!" Borusinov nodded slightly and said something to boost morale. Then, he returned to his room and began to think about what to do next.
"The attack of the vanguard has already had problems, and the cavalry troops' assaults are no longer so sharp. They always feel like cutting flesh with a blunt knife." Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Borusinov couldn't help but sigh. Judging from the attack speed, in the previous week, the attack speed of the cavalry group was about 20 kilometers per day. At the highest time, it was a miraculous speed of 35 kilometers per day in a certain direction. But now, the cavalry group is just wandering around in circles, and the attack speed has dropped to about 10 kilometers per day.
You should know that this is on the Eastern Front, not on the Western Front, which is a densely packed with a large number of troops, machine guns and artillery walls. The biggest feature of the Eastern Front is that the density of troops on both sides is very low, and a large number of troops are concentrated on the front line. Once the relatively weak defense line is broken through, it will be difficult for the defense to establish a new defense line in a short time. Logically speaking, the current Russian troops inserted into the deep should no longer encounter any large enemy, but the attack speed is not as good as before.
This can only show one problem. The blade of the Russian Legion has been blunted, and the ultra-long-distance attack and breakthrough have exhausted the final potential of this force. The logistics line can no longer support the troops to advance again, and the entire battle also needs to move from an offensive state to a defensive state.
But to be honest, Borusinov was a little unwilling to accept it because what he wanted to see the most did not happen! It was indeed a contribution to defeating Hungary, but unfortunately, it was only a tactical contribution, not a strategic one. Who would not be able to pinch a soft persimmon? Killing 180,000 Hungarians is far less meaningful than killing 60,000 Bavarian Legion, because the latter is a real elite and the pillar of the Eastern Front Battle of the Allies. Killing 3 divisions of the Bavarian Legion will definitely make the prince feel hurt, and he will be afraid of attacking at will.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it cannot severely damage the Bavarian Legion or the Austrian Legion. From the beginning of the battle, Borusinov's focus is no longer on the frontal Hungarian Legion, because it is almost a situation where the dogs are tied up to win! He was waiting, waiting for the Austrians to hold back, and then kill from the north to the south to support their defeated compatriots. At this time, Borusinov would immediately turn the troops into a defensive state and then fight a war of attrition with the Austrian Legion.
