On September 11, Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps arrived at Rustruw.
At the same time, German 8th Army Corps had already arrived at the scheduled attack position. 11th Corps appeared to the west of Rustruw, and 8th Armored Division also formed a formation in front of Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps.
Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps, as soon as we arrived at Rustruw, we noticed something was wrong. This situation was immediately reported to Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps Commander General Krapovitch.
"General, a large number of Germany people were found in Rustruw. They are blocking our way." A general reported to General Krapovitch. His face was full of Panic. I had never encountered German military along the way before. And now, German military has appeared in front of them, and what this means will undoubtedly be very clear.
"Damn it! Are the Germany people going to target us?" General Krapovitch thought of this almost immediately.
No wonder the Germany people had been silent until now. It turned out they were waiting for them here. General Krapovitch, I have long known that Germany people are not that easy to deal with. So after entering the territory of Kingdom of Poland, I have always been cautious. But he didn't expect that idiot Ivan? Gylinski actually forced him to rush to Warsaw. Well now, I finally hit the muzzle of the Germany man.
General Krapovitch has no doubt that German military is ready for all battles and is just waiting for them to crash into it.
"General, what should we do now? Should we retreat immediately?" a general suggested. After all, from the information they learned, German military was very powerful in combat. Guard 2nd Army Corps has more than 200,000 elite troops. But if you play against German military, it may be difficult to win.
"Retreat? How is that possible? We are Russian Imperial Army's most elite troops. If we retreat like this, His Majesty the Tsar will not spare us. What's more, that guy Ivan? Gylinski has probably been waiting for such an opportunity." Another general retorted.
General Krapovitch nodded, indeed he couldn't retreat like this. Ivan? Gylinski Admiral has long been eager to put a shit basin on their heads. If you retreat now, you will undoubtedly hand over the control to Ivan? Gylinski. General Krapovitch can even predict that Ivan and Gylinski will shout excitedly and then complain to Tsar Nicholas II. The reason why Warsaw and even the entire Poland fell was entirely because Guard 2nd Army Corps did not cooperate. By then, General Krapovitch may not be able to afford it and walk away. There is no way he would do such a thing.
"General, I'm afraid we can't retreat now even if we want to. A German military force has appeared in our the East." A Colonel officer reported to General Krapovitch.
"Hiss!" All the Russian generals suddenly took a breath of cold air. Because they discovered that German military's tactics were just to eat the entire Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps! Their army group has more than 200,000 people. German military No matter how powerful he is, he can't eat them easily, right? What's more, there is Russian 9th Army Corps, very close at hand.
"Damn Germany people, are they too arrogant? Can they still resist 9th Army Corps's attack while eating us? Aren't they afraid of being attacked from both sides?" A Russian general cursed.
"Maybe the Germany people really planned that. Don't forget, Northwestern Front Army failed like this before in East Prussia territory. While they surrounded and annihilated 2nd Army Corps, they also contained 1st Army Corps."
"Hmph! This time it's different. We, Guard 2nd Army Corps, are elite troops. In addition, the distance between us and 9th Army Corps is not far. If 9th Army Corps comes to rescue us, it will only take two days to arrive."
Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps's generals are making a fuss.
However, General Krapovitch's face was gloomy and scary.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Order the troops to set up defenses on the spot, strengthen the defense as much as possible, and be prepared to fight hard with the Germany people. In addition, send Telegram to 9th Army Corps and tell General Letsky that we may have fallen into the trap of the Germany people. Now, Guard 2nd Army Corps is Encirclement Offensive is about to encounter the Germany people, and we ask him to rescue us. Otherwise, Guard 2nd Army Corps will be in danger. If we are eaten by the Germany people, 9th Army Corps will never be able to withstand the Germany people's attack." General Krapovitch said.
In order to prevent 9th Army Corps from being desperate, General Krapovitch made it clear that if Guard 2nd Army Corps were destroyed, 9th Army Corps would not end well.
Although, General Krapovitch and General Letsky had previously targeted General Ivan? Gylinski. However, he couldn't guarantee whether General Letsky would deliberately ignore him or not.
"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to send Telegram.
Under the threat of German military, the entire Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps immediately took action. A large number of Russian soldiers, urged by their officers, began to dig trenches and build defensive positions. Because there is a plain nearby, it is basically a non-dangerous area. Therefore, the Russian army could only strengthen its defense by digging trenches. As for whether they can withstand German offensive, they can only pray to God.
After Russian 9th Army Corps learned what happened to Guard 2nd Army Corps, he immediately stopped his actions. General Letsky even specially dispatched troops to search nearby areas to prevent them from falling into German military's trap.
Fortunately, no German military appeared around them, which made General Letsky sigh in relief.
Of course, General Letsky can also be sure that if Russian 9th Army Corps wants to rescue Guard 2nd Army Corps, he will definitely be blocked by German military. There is almost no doubt about this. Since German military plans to take action against Guard 2nd Army Corps, he will definitely do his best to achieve this goal. For Russian 9th Army Corps, they must have already been prepared.
However, it is obviously impossible for General Letsky not to rescue Guard 2nd Army Corps. As General Krapovitch said, once Guard 2nd Army Corps is eaten, it's their turn next.
General Letsky has no confidence. He defeated German military just by 9th Army Corps.
