Chapter 1399 The largest encirclement and annihilation battle in history 1
"General, our troops have tried their best. We cannot break through the blockade of Mackensen's East Prussian Army and the Bavarian Army. They even have the power to threaten the Gulf of Riga. Even if we pass through the blockade, we still have to rely on our own You have to walk 200 kilometers on both feet to get support from friendly forces." In Warsaw, a general said to Kuropatkin with a face as dust as dust.
"Our food supply was in a tense situation just after we were surrounded. We had to grab food from the Poles. And as the Bavarian Army closed the encirclement and the air force bombed, our supplies became worse and worse, and the front-line troops The daily ration per person is only one-third to one-half of the normal standard. And the logistics personnel and clerks are even more pitiful. Many divisions have begun to let these people solve the food problem by themselves. The defense zone of my group army Now it is chaos. They can no longer be called an army. There are more and more conflicts between troops over food, and even shooting at each other." The commander of the Russian Second Army also said on the sidelines.
"Well, needless to say, the Second Army is like this. I'm afraid the situation of other armies is even worse. In fact, when we stand in Warsaw and look at this chaotic city, we can imagine the situation in other places. . I know what you are thinking. We can’t leave, and there will be no more reinforcements. The Germans are obviously going to take action in the Gulf of Riga. All the remaining troops are concentrated as much as possible towards the Gulf of Riga. Even the Ukrainian troops will be attacked in the coming year. It has been greatly weakened. How can anyone care about us?" Kuropatkin stood up from his seat with a wry smile, walked to the window sill, and looked at the city in the distance.
The entire Russian headquarters is heavily protected. The entire headquarters is protected by continuous fortifications made of sandbags and barbed wire stretched out on the road. Here, in order to ensure the safety of themselves and these generals, an infantry regiment plus a gendarmerie regiment The troops were deployed in the headquarters. They even pushed the 3-inch rapid-fire cannon into the temporary barricade, and blocked the main passage with the machine guns next to it, facing their former subordinates as if they were facing the Germans. No one doubts that once the headquarters cannot guarantee deterrence, the rioters and troops outside will rush in! Because here is the food they need and plenty of clean water.
Apart from here, the entire Warsaw, the largest city in Russian Poland, has fallen into chaos. The rebels who can't even eat have no hesitation in choosing to attack civilians without weapons. Anyway, for the Russians, the Poles They are not considered members of the same race. In this case, who would they grab if not them?
Night is about to fall, and the most chaotic and darkest moment is about to come. After night, the city will be even more chaotic. Tufts of black smoke in the distance and flames in some residential areas can already illustrate this. Just three days ago, Kuropatkin planned to deploy a division from the Second Army to stabilize the situation in Warsaw, but until now, this division has not completed a mere 30 kilometers...
The situation in the entire war zone is worse than that in Warsaw. The Russian Army relied on fortresses and risked its last fortune to resist the attacks of the two German legions.
Let the opponent travel hundreds of kilometers and form an encirclement. Now, the Russian army has lost almost all external supplies, and has lost more than half of its heavy equipment and elite troops. How can they fight out?
So much so that Kuropatkin now suspected that the fundamental reason why he was in Warsaw rather than in a German prisoner-of-war camp was because the Germans deliberately indulged themselves. This is not a random thought. The Poles do not agree with the Russians, and they also do not like the Germans. Therefore, from a Russian’s perspective, since these guys don’t want to be obedient people, it doesn’t matter if they are smaller in number. Germany has a lot of people anyway. Little land….
The Russian troops on the front line had already surrendered to the Bavarian Army in divisions, but the German army always controlled the speed of advancement, so the remaining Russian Polish areas were in chaos. Everyone is only thinking about two questions now. The first question is when the German army will advance and surrender. The second question was how to survive until the Germans arrived….
"So, the only thing we can do now is to wait until the Germans arrive at our door before surrendering. As for other troops? They can do whatever they want." Kuropatkin said with despair.
"Should we destroy something? We can't let this city fall into the hands of the Germans like this, right?" said an officer.
"Haha, in that case, you and your men will not be able to see the sun tomorrow. The Germans don't even have to do it themselves. When they take away the guns and bullets in your hands, the angry Poles will tear you apart. Then these Poles will take revenge on Russia and temporarily choose to cooperate with the Germans. When the war reaches this level, in fact, we are the losers no matter what. Therefore, the best result is to wait for fate to come and do our best at the same time. It is possible to preserve the last dignity of the empire," Kuropatkin said. And the so-called final dignity of the empire is to wait until the Germans reach our doorstep before we surrender...
At the same time, in Königsberg, Ruprecht also decided to prepare for the final closing of the net. "In other words, we have prepared the facilities, materials, and personnel to accept more than 500,000 prisoners of war." Is there any question about his whereabouts?" the prince said, looking at the report in his hand.
"Yes, the prisoner-of-war camps have been planned. These places are just transfer stations. They were quickly assigned to factories everywhere, and the labor saved thereby can bring our military strength to a new level. As for supplies, In fact, the main problem is food. With the arrival of a new batch of food from the Americans, we now have enough to feed these prisoners of war and the Poles for several months. Prussia is also preparing to take over parts of Russian Poland, so we The pressure is not great," General Schmidt said.
"Our army logistics also need to add some people, and, I think, we need some leading parties. Choose some reliable ones, the Russians' national policy is very bad, we can always find some people who are willing to take revenge on Tsarist Russia." The prince thought. After thinking about it, he said.
"Following your order, we will draw out a group of auxiliary troops composed of Poles, Ukrainians, and Cossacks." Admiral Schmidt said.
"Well, let's start closing the net now, and then we will go to Riga. After taking Riga, we will go to Ukraine and the Balkans!" The prince finally ordered to close the net.
