The destruction of Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Russian 9th Army Corps. Although General Letsky already knows that Guard 2nd Army Corps cannot be rescued. However, he has not yet made up his mind when to retreat.
German military The troops stationed at Siedlce were like an iron wall, blocking the road to Russian 9th Army Corps Kitakami. The powerful firepower left the Russian army helpless, and they suffered heavy losses after attacking rashly. This makes General Letsky no longer dare to attack at will.
On the morning of September 14, General Letsky received the news of the destruction of Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps.
"General, Guard 2nd Army Corps has been annihilated by Germany people, and the entire army group has been almost wiped out. General Krapovitch has also been captured by Germany people." A general reported to General Letsky.
This is the Telegram that General Krapovitch asked the communications troops to send before he was captured. Guard 2nd Army Corps's downfall is inevitable, but General Krapovitch doesn't want General Letsky to repeat his own mistakes. After all, after Guard 2nd Army Corps fell into trouble, 9th Army Corps did his best to rescue him.
"Damn! A group army of 200,000 people was eaten by the Germany people in just three days. Damn it, the Germany people, when did they become so powerful?" General Letsky couldn't help but curse. Although, during the battle with German military 20th Corps, he already knew how powerful German military was. However, it was not as shocking as the destruction of Guard 2nd Army Corps in such a short period of time.
"General, what should we do now? After the Germany people eat Guard 2nd Army Corps, the next target will definitely be us."
"Order the troops to retreat immediately. We can no longer stay at Kingdom of Poland, return to Southwestern Front!" General Letsky immediately issued the order.
After Guard 2nd Army Corps has been eliminated, if 9th Army Corps remains in Kingdom of Poland to fight against German military, it will be no different from seeking death. In order to protect himself and his troops, General Letsky had no choice but to order a retreat. Southwestern Front There are still hundreds of thousands of Russian troops there. If you can join them, your own safety will undoubtedly be guaranteed. As for Tsar Nicholas II's order, it can only be violated. After all, saving one's own life and troops is the most important thing at this time. General Letsky also knows that even His Majesty the Tsar will definitely understand him.
General Ivan? Gylinski, who was waiting hard for reinforcements in Warsaw, was selectively ignored by General Letsky. He is already very dissatisfied with General Ivan? Gylinski. If that guy hadn't given orders randomly, they wouldn't have been defeated by the Germany people so quickly. It can be said that General Ivan? Gylinski is definitely the culprit for the destruction of Guard 2nd Army Corps and the crisis of 9th Army Corps.
"Yes, General." The Russian general immediately went to make arrangements.
"Alas! I really don't know if we can win this battle? Germany people are so powerful, it is really unwise to provoke this enemy. General Letsky shook his head.
However, the war has already begun, and it may not be that easy to end it. As Russian Empire soldiers, all they can do is to try their best to win for the Russian Empire.
Russian 9th Army Corps, which suffered heavy losses in Siedlce, immediately began to retreat. However, their strength has been weakened a lot compared to when they just entered Kingdom of Poland. In Siedlce, Russian 9th Army Corps, at least 50,000 people were lost. However, if the remaining hundreds of thousands of people can safely evacuate Kingdom of Poland and join Southwestern Front, General Letsky will be very satisfied. As for the lost troops, it is nothing to Russia. They can replenish it at any time. When Russia's mobilization was gradually completed, they no longer lacked soldiers.
Ciechanów, the headquarters of German 8th Army Corps, is already bursting with laughter.
Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps was almost completely wiped out by German 8th Army Corps. This is undoubtedly a great victory for the entire legion.
"Your Highness, according to our estimate, Russian Guard 2nd Army Corps, only five thousand people can escape at most. The rest were either killed or captured by us. The Guards, known as the most elite unit of the Russian army, have been eliminated by us in half! "General Hindenburg had a smile on his face.
At present, the Russian Guards can be called the most elite force of the Russian Army. There are only two armies in total, with more than 400,000 people. But now, they easily ate up an army group in one bite. One can imagine what a big blow this is to the Russian Army and Tsar Nicholas II.
Oscar smiled and nodded, "It would be great if Nicholas II could also send Guard 1st Army Corps to the front line. In this case, we may soon be able to win against Russia!"
Oscar naturally refers to Russian Bolshevik Party, whom he secretly supports. If Bolshevik Party can launch an uprising in Russia and plunge Russia into chaos, then Germany may be only one step away from winning this war. After Russia is solved, the remaining Britain and France can no longer put so much pressure on Germany.
Without having to fight on two fronts, Oscar believes that with the strength of Germany in this time and space, he will definitely win the war. After all, although German Army's fight on the Western Front was not going well, overall he still took the initiative. Even if Moltke the Younger now activates Battle of the Marne, German military cannot win, and may even suffer heavy losses. But this is not a crippling loss for the powerful German military. As long as you prepare again, you can definitely defeat Anglo-French Allied Forces.
As for German Navy, it now has an absolute advantage over Atlantic Ocean. Britain people are about to be hanged by German Navy. As long as in the future decisive battle at sea, German Navy will win again. Then, there is no suspense about Germany's final victory in this war.
Therefore, Oscar is very optimistic about the future situation.
"Your Highness, Guard 1st Army Corps are the old foundation of Nicholas II. It is the main force defending St. Petersburg. I am afraid he will not dispatch Guard 1st Army Corps so easily. "Major General Ludendorff believes that it is not that easy to mobilize the Russian army Guard 1st Army Corps.
