Eastern Türkiye, Kars.
At the same time that German 21st Army Corps and 22nd Army Corps arrived at Persian Gulf, the Turkish Army 3rd Army Corps, led by Turkish War Minister and Chief of Staff Enver, also arrived at the front line of the battlefield.
The arrival of new forces has re-stabilized Turkish 1st Army's defense line.
However, the Turkish Army's poor performance in this battle remains indelible. General Enver is very dissatisfied with this.
You must know that the three Russian armies attacking Turkish 1st Army and 2nd Army Corps totaled less than 200,000 people. But the two armies of the Turkish Army totaled 400,000 people. The battle ended like this, making General Enver very ashamed.
After arriving at the front line, General Enver immediately summoned Turkish 1st Army and Commander of 2nd Army Corps, reprimanded them, and scolded them violently.
"General Arslan, General Muhammad, what are you doing? Your army is twice as large as Russians! But now, it is just barely holding on to the defense line! Your performance really disappoints me!" General Enver cursed.
You know, the top management of Republic of Turkey has great expectations for this battle. They hope that Turkish Army can perform well in this battle, so that they can show their strength in front of the German Empire, and at the same time let German Empire know that Republic of Turkey can provide more help to the German Empire. These are powerful guarantees for obtaining more benefits after the war! Now, the war has ended like this, which undoubtedly makes Republic of Turkey's senior executives feel that they have been completely humiliated.
Lieutenant General Arslan and Lieutenant General Muhammad lowered their heads and said nothing.
They also know that logically speaking, with the combat effectiveness of the Turkish Army, they would not be beaten so badly by Russians! However, the battle broke out so suddenly that they were completely unprepared. In addition, Russians acted too brave and not afraid of death during the battle. All of these made Turkish Army unable to cope on the battlefield, which ultimately led to their disastrous defeat.
"General, Russians was very strong in the early stages of the battle. But now we have defended the line of defense and caused a lot of casualties to Russians. Now, their attacks have become weaker and weaker. 3rd Army Corps has arrived, and we can take this opportunity to launch a counterattack." Commander of the 3rd Army Corps Lieutenant General Ilhan said.
The three Russian armies were very strong in the early stages of the battle, but after the initial stage, they now seem to have lost their initial momentum. In the final analysis, the Russian army still has too few troops. As losses increase, the morale of the troops will also be affected.
General Enver nodded. "I don't want to say more about the mistakes you made before. I hope you can atone for your sins and perform well in the next battle. Otherwise, just resign from your current positions!"
"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General Arslan and Lieutenant General Muhammad both replied quickly. At the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping this disaster.
With the influence of General Enver in Republic of Turkey, especially the military, they have no choice but to remove their positions. Well now, I finally gave them a chance. If you grasp it well, you can not only offset your merits, but also gain considerable military exploits. After all, Russians doesn't have much strength now, and it's their turn to fight back.
"Our allies, the two armies of the German Empire, have arrived at Persian Gulf. They will soon launch an attack on the main force of the Russian army that has rushed into the north of Iraq. I hope, Before German military wiped out the two Russian armies, we were able to eliminate the three Russian armies that invaded Turkey. Then, we invaded Buru's territory!" General Enver said.
"Yes, General!" everyone replied.
Although, they know that with the combat power of German military, it will be very easy to solve Russian 47th Army Corps and 51st Army Corps. But the three Russian armies they faced also suffered heavy losses. With the strength of the Turkish Army, it should not be a big problem to achieve this goal.
"Very good, let's go back and prepare. In two days, we will officially launch the attack! 3rd Army Corps will first cooperate with 1st Army Corps to eliminate the Russian army 44th Army Corps. Then, they will turn south and cooperate with 2nd Army Corps to eliminate the Russian army 45th Army Corps and 46th Army Corps. After 1st Army Corps has eliminated the Russian army 44th Army Corps, they will invade Georgia and let those Russians know that we Turks are officially starting Vengeance!" General Enver said.
"Yes, general!" several generals replied loudly.
Türkiye and Russia are feuding. At that time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was so powerful in Europe that it beat the crap out of all European countries. However, because of the many Russian-Turkish wars that broke out with Tsarist Russia, they won less and lost more. Gradually, a huge empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa was transformed into the sick man of West Asia. Not only did it lose a large amount of land and colonies, it was also constantly bullied and humiliated by Western powers. This made many Turkish people very angry.
Now, Türkiye finally has the opportunity to invade Russia territory again, and of course they will not let it go.
On the morning of November 13, Turkish 1st Army and the new Turkish army 3rd Army Corps launched a fierce attack on the Russian army 44th Army Corps.
The Russian army 44th Army Corps does not have many troops to begin with. In the previous battle, although it was able to suppress the Turkish 1st Army Corps, its own losses were not small. Now facing the attack of 300,000 Turkish Army, they simply cannot resist it.
In less than two days, the Russian army 44th Army Corps was almost completely lost. Only a handful of people escaped back to Buru territory, and the rest were annihilated.
After that, Turkish 1st Army took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on Georgia in Buru. The Turkish 3rd Army Corps went south to cooperate with 2nd Army Corps and attacked the Russian army 45th Army Corps and 46th Army Corps. Although the Russian troops 45th Army Corps and 46th Army Corps had already felt the danger, the Turkish 2nd Army Corps performed very well and kept holding them back, making it impossible for them to evacuate.
After 3rd Army Corps arrived, they launched a pincer attack on the Russian army and finally eliminated the two armies.
