1524 Lore 3

There must be enough prerequisites to realize this plan. First, the situation in the Balkans must be stable, otherwise, it will be impossible to draw enough troops to implement the plan. Second, the French army cannot land in Asia Minor. In addition to the issue of military strength, the core area of ​​Turkey is under great political pressure. It would be good that the Bavarian Legion did not concentrate more troops from the Eastern Front to stabilize the little brother Turkey, so naturally it is impossible to be busy with other things.

As for more prerequisites, the Russian Black Sea Fleet must be destroyed. If the Black Sea Fleet exists, even if they still cannot defeat Count Spee, as long as those battleships are concentrated at the entrance of the Strait of Azores, Count Spee will definitely not be able to attack, and bombers will not attack, because the distance is a bit far... and unexpectedly, the root of the Russian defeat this time was buried several months ago. The British who personally ruined this fleet!

Earl Spee came to the prince's command on the third day. After hearing this plan, the Earl said that his fleet had no problems. As long as it could supplement enough shells, nothing would be a problem! He could even remove the small and medium-caliber artillery on the warships as army artillery.

After receiving the guarantee from the Count, the prince began to prepare for this battle seriously. After the Battle of Greece, even though the participating troops had rested for at least one month, several troops did not engage in any major battles within three months. It can be said that they were in very good condition, so the prince directly mobilized two Bavarian divisions and two Austrian divisions as the main force of the battle.

So in the vast areas of the Balkans, the Black Sea, and Ukraine, the Bavarian Legion, the Russian Legion, and the Austro-Hungarian Legion were all tacitly preparing for the next battle. As time passed by, the battle that determined the fate of Russia was gradually coming to an end. At this time, Borusinov suddenly discovered a serious problem - behind the Hungarian Legion, a brand new German Legion appeared on the front line!

Under the urging of Grand Duke Karl, General Von Sekot had to prepare a division to fill the front line first, while the Russians obtained this information through the Hungarian Legion's counterintelligence system like a sieve! The sudden appearance of the German Legion made Borusinov uneasy. What he was most worried about now was that the Bavarian Legion stationed in the Balkans had no pressure, so he turned back to the eastern line...

"According to our inside information, this is not the Bavarian army of Prince Rupresit, but the Prussian army drawn from the Western Front. Although there are many people, they did not carry too many artillery and heavy weapons due to the long-distance trek. Even because their logistics system is not compatible with Hungary, there are not many ammunitions. Overall, this should be a toothless tiger." Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Chief of Staff's words gave Borusinov the courage to continue to take on.

"It seems that I was scaring myself." Borusinov, who had been psychologically shattered by the prince, couldn't help but wiped his cold sweat, and then revisited the previous information again. Although the German army did appear in an established system, from the long line of defense, this was at most a small distance, and there was no increase in the subsequent situation, so the German army was not too large.

Why are the Germans powerful? The most important thing is the 72 artillery and more than 200 machine guns that each division is equipped with. If these equipment shrinks, then they are really toothless tigers. To be honest, the quality of European powers' individual soldiers will not be too big, and the difference is the equipment. If everyone uses rifles, Borusinov is really worthy of his opponent.

Although he received psychological comfort, based on the principle of despising the opponent strategically and attaching tactical importance to the opponent, when facing the German elite, Borusinov still gave them a big gift. In front of the German division in front, Borusinov equipped the troops of three divisions! He also allocated a direct artillery brigade of the army to this offensive force! More than 120 guns of more than 3-inch and 107mm artillery and 12 152mm heavy howitzers were on the forehead of Feng Sekot. The German general was also unlucky. He had just arrived on the front line for two weeks, and the Russians were concerned about it!

After all, the Russians have the advantage of taking the lead. Their preparations are obviously faster than Prince Leopold's troops and the prince's troops. There is no way. In addition to defeating the Russian army in the front, Prince Leopold also has to consider the issue of hundreds of thousands of troops crossing the river. It can even be said that fighting with the Russians is not a problem. The biggest problem is how to transport hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of tons of materials! Not to mention the prince's troops, the preparations for this battle were relatively late, and troops were also needed to be transferred from the Balkans and crossed the Black Sea with the cooperation of the navy to launch a landing war. So, needless to say, the Russians will launch the first attack!

After seven weeks of preparation, the first wave of offensive troops composed of 400,000 Russian troops had already been deployed along the line of the Diyingulets River! Behind them were the newly recruited mobilization divisions by the Russians in 7 weeks. This was the troops accumulated after Borusinov further exploited the human resources in southern Russia. The size of this army was about 10 divisions and about 150,000 people. More than 1,500 artillery pieces of various caliber were placed on the front line. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle, more than 150 aircraft gathered from all over the place were also incorporated into the offensive cluster. However, because of the sparse number and poor performance, they could only undertake reconnaissance tasks.

"I have thrown all the sieve on the table, so good, from now on, hand everything to the soldiers and God on the front line!" After listening to his subordinates' report, Borusinov sighed and signaled to proceed according to the established plan, and this day happened to be July 8, 1913. The Russians' code-named Borusinov offensive will be launched in three days.

At the same time, the Bavarian Legion commanded by Prince Leopold on the northern line will launch a battle code-named "North Wind" 10 days later, aiming to break through Dnieper and bring the northeastern Poland into control. In the direction of the Balkans, the landing operation plan code-named "Castle" will be launched 20 days later. At this moment, not only the Russians pressed all the chips, but the prince also bet most of the chips, and the lottery of this big bet was Russia's national destiny!
