Russian 2nd Army Corps's headquarters is located about ten kilometers behind the defense line. After witnessing German military's fierce artillery fire, General Samsonov was very concerned about his own safety. He was afraid that his headquarters would be hit by German military's artillery fire. In that case, there would be no bones left.
On the morning of the 21st, General Samsonov got up relatively late because he drank two bottles of Vodka last night. The war was not going well, and he was in a very bad mood. If all the Germany civilians in the war zone had not been relocated, he really wanted to send the guards to find some Germany women to vent his anger. However, there was not even a single civilian around, let alone a beautiful woman.
As for finding women from Kingdom of Poland, it is feasible. But General Samsonov doesn't have the courage. If Ivan? General Gylinski knew about it, it would be troublesome. Although, everyone is Generaloberst. But General Ivan? Gylinski is Front Commander, and he is also the former Chief of General Staff of the Russian Army. His basic ratio and qualifications are not comparable to General Samsonov.
Therefore, General Samsonov had no choice but to drink to drown his sorrows. Although, drinking is not allowed in the military. However, this military regulation is not strictly enforced in the Russian army. Russians are all drunkards, ranging from generals to ordinary soldiers. If they don't drink, they will feel uncomfortable and have no fighting ability. Therefore, the military law department had no choice but to turn a blind eye to this.
"General, something bad has happened. The Germany people have launched a large-scale counterattack." An officer reported to General Samsonov.
"Yes, I understand. Order the troops on the front line to block the Germany people's attack according to the predetermined plan." General Samsonov said nonchalantly.
German military will launch a counterattack at the right time, which is not beyond General Samsonov's expectation. Therefore, when the Russian army launched an attack, they were also actively building defenses. Although, the Russian army's defenses are completely incomparable to German military. But General Samsonov believes that with the huge number of Russian troops and fortifications, there is no problem in blocking German offensive. As long as 1st Army Corps succeeds, the situation of the battle will be reversed.
"Yes, General." The officer immediately went to convey the order.
General Samsonov began to wash up in an orderly manner, and then had breakfast. Although, German military's bombardment was so violent that he frowned from time to time. But General Samsonov always believes that the Russian army cannot defeat German military when attacking, but when defending, even if it cannot defeat German military, there should still be no problem in a tie.
However, General Samsonov soon learned that the ideal is full, but the reality is backbone. The gap between reality and his imagination was too big.
Sai General Samsonov had just finished eating the bread and started drinking milk when a staff officer ran in in panic.
"General, our forward defense line has been broken through by the Germany people. Now, the Germany people are launching an attack in our depth." An officer reported with a sad face.
"What? How could this happen? How could Germany's attack be so powerful?" General Samsonov's face was full of disbelief. No matter how rubbish the Russian army's combat effectiveness is, it is not so easy to break through with the defenses.
"General, the Germany people used a new type of weapon. They were covered in iron armor and could fire artillery shells and machine gun bullets. We couldn't threaten each other at all, so we were defeated." The officer looked shocked.
General Samsonov frowned. "What are you talking about? Could it be the devil's weapon?"
"General, there are rumors on the front lines that the Germany people have mastered the devil's weapons and are invincible!" the officer said.
"Fart!" General Samsonov yelled. He wouldn't believe it. In his opinion, this was obviously just an excuse for those cowards on the front line who had lost the battle. But even if you have to find an excuse, you should find one that is more reliable. The devil's weapon? This is too unreliable.
"No, no matter what, the defense line cannot be breached. Otherwise, the whole 2nd Army Corps will be doomed." General Samsonov made a decision after walking around the office twice.
"Come here, order General Andrei and General Karsky to lead their troops to stop the Germany people. The other troops should gather in immediately. No matter what, we must stop the Germany people." General Samsonov ordered.
"Yes, General." The officer immediately went to give the order.
Andrei and Karsky are both Commander from Russian Cossack cavalry division. Two Cossack Cavalry Division, a total of tens of thousands of people. This is the most elite Cossack cavalry! Since Cossack cavalry worked for Tsar, it has always been a sharp sword in Tsar's hand. Even when Napoleon was as powerful as Europe, he also attached great importance to Cossack cavalry.
General Samsonov believes that no matter how strong Germany's attack is, with the powerful Cossack cavalry, he can definitely stop Germany. Of course, Cossack cavalry may have to pay a lot of losses, but what does it matter? As the general of the Russian Army, Samsonov also climbed out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and has long been used to life and death. As long as it's not your own blood, it doesn't matter.
After receiving the order from General Samsonov, Major General Andrei and Major General Karsky began to gather their troops and began to prepare for the attack.
"The Valiant Cossacks, that bunch of incompetent infantry, were defeated by the Germany people and are fleeing in all directions. We have to play the role of saviors again. Pick up your sabers, mount your horses, and launch an attack! Use your sabers to cut off Germany people's heads were used to forge the glory of the Cossacks with the blood of Germany people. Valiant people launched an attack and defeated the Germany people in one fell swoop." Major General Andrei shouted loudly.
"Long live! Long live the Cossacks! Long live His Majesty the Tsar!"
Tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry shouted slogans and launched an attack.
Tens of thousands of war horses rushed towards the battlefield. The horses' hooves trampled on the ground, making a rumbling sound, just like thunder. The scene was very shocking.
These Cossack cavalrys rushed towards the battlefield with indomitable momentum. In the age of cold weapons, they were the masters of the battlefield. Even in the early twentieth century, they were symbols of HMS Invincible. However, their myth will soon be shattered. In front of Armored Forces, the cavalry is nothing but scum!
