He had asked Conrad for help, but the Austro-Hungarian Legion, which did not have enough reserves and the front-line troops were frustrated, was unable to save this legion with a somewhat higher position. There was no way except to issue meaningless retreat orders! If he could leave, Offenberg would have left long ago. Relying on the existing defensive position, his troops could also defend temporarily. However, if he left the position, at the speed of movement of the large army of only 20 kilometers per day, he would have been caught up by the Russians and then dispersed!

At this moment, Prince Leopold sent an email to Offenberg, asking him to gather the planned Austro-Hungarian troops on the battlefield as much as possible, and then rely on the existing positions to defend and wait for the Bavarian Legion to respond.

"Your Highness, my troops are surrounded by Russian troops with absolute advantage. We lack ammunition and supplies, and our morale is low. It is already very difficult to stick to it, and hosting more remnants can only make the situation worse." Onfenberg wrote in the call back.

"This is an absolute disaster. In the face of disaster, the Germans and the Czechs should fight side by side with the test of the arrival. We should do our best to help everyone who hopes to be rescued, even if we have to take some risks. I promise in my personal reputation and the name of the Wittelsbach family that we will do our best to support your army, and the first reinforcements will arrive before sunset tomorrow." Prince Leopold wrote in a telegram.

No one would send precious troops to desperate situations. Prince Leopold made his position with his practical actions. He asked his son to lead the team, with the First Support Army, and the only reinforcement army in recent days to support the Fourth Army of Offenberg. The prince collected all the motor vehicles at hand and carried as much ammunition and supplies as possible. This army with a size of less than 10,000 people became a footnote to the Prince's telegram!

When the prince received the news, he immediately decided to draw vehicles from other troops to form a new rapid assault group and go directly to attack the Russian Fourth Army without saying a word.

"Offenberg Army can be severely damaged or completely wiped out, but I hope you must bring the prince's son back. This is an unshakable bottom line. I can give you anything as long as you can do it!" The prince wrote in a secret telegram to Baron Schmidt who led the team.

The prince is still very good for his cousin, both in history and now. In history, when Ruprecht was imprisoned for opposing the Nazis, his cousin had rescued him. In this plane, Prince Leopold is the prince's elder and one of the most important supporters. Even if the legion has to pay some price, he must ensure the safety of his cousin.

"Prince, you really shouldn't come." After Prince Georg broke through the Russian blockade and came here with his own armored battalion, three infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion and a baggage unit. Offenberg said in a mixed mood.

"Here, there are more than 100,000 of our compatriots. In order for them to return to their homes in Austria and Bohemia safely, I should come here. Even if the Emperor and Conrad give up, as long as there is a front-line opportunity, we will never give up our allies." Prince Georg said: "My father and the crown prince will do their best to save you, even if they launch a large-scale attack, they will be willing to talk about the situation here."

"Our supplies are basically enough, and the rifles and light weapons are sufficient, but we lack enough artillery. The two Russian armies gathered at least 600 artillery pieces to attack us. Fortunately, their supply lines are relatively long and the amount of ammunition is not large."

"Our morale is very low, and some cowards have already clamored to surrender or escape. I have tried to control the situation. The Germans are still relatively tenacious, and the Bohemians can still execute orders under the siege of the officers, but the Magyars are different from other ethnic minorities. They do not bring much benefit to improving combat effectiveness except for consuming supplies." Offenberg said in some frustration.

"Moranna needs to be inspired by victory! In order to let our soldiers see the hope of victory again, I decided to launch a limited counterattack with my troops! My father's troops may not arrive tomorrow, but I can guarantee that when tomorrow dawn, our soldiers will look up and see the air force of the Kingdom of Bavaria." Prince Georg said confidently.

When Georg's troops entered the encirclement, Prince Leopold, after learning that Ruprecht would fully support the Austro-Hungarian front and attack the flanks of the Russian Fourth Army, immediately led the troops of five divisions to rescue the siege. The balance of the war has begun to gradually tilt, and the entire Galician front can be divided into two parts. In the direction of Poland, the two Russian armies have completed the encirclement of the Offenberg army, but more than 100,000 Austro-Hungarian troops are still fighting, and the Russians can't bear to eat for a while. In the appearance of the periphery, the main force of the legion led by Prince Ruprecht and Prince Leopold's troops have surrounded from the west and south. In the next three days, the power handling in the Polish direction will undergo subversive changes.

In the Ukraine direction, three Russian armies still had an overwhelming advantage. After defeating two and a half Austro-Hungarian army, the three armies continued to develop in the depth of Galicia. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was ready to defend against the Korpatian Mountains.

"Prince Leopold's troops seem to be trying to rescue Offenberg?" Nikolaevich said with some concern as he looked at the information he had just obtained.

"The battle is over. The combat effectiveness of our two legions in the Polish theater is already a bit low, and now it is at the end of its strength." Kuropatkin already had a little bit of retreat.

"But if we forget it, our war loss ratio is not optimistic. In the Ukrainian war zone, we lost nearly 150,000 troops, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire lost about 200,000. In the Polish war zone, we lost 120,000 inexplicably, while the Austro-Hungarian Empire lost about 140,000. In this case, the war loss ratio is about 270,000 to 340,000. Our advantage is not great."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the front line is not good now, and our troops cannot occupy the areas north and east of the Korpatian Mountains. This means that we cannot lock the Austro-Hungarian Army in the inner ring of the Korpatian Mountains. We need to divide a large number of troops to defend against Austro-Hungarian. So where can we find enough mobile troops to deal with the Bavarian Army?" Brusinov said. He was very unwilling to accept the current situation.
