Lublin, the temporary headquarters of German 8th Army Corps, Lieutenant General Ludendorff is talking to Lieutenant General François.
"General François, Your Highness have issued orders. Early tomorrow morning, 11th Corps will set off from Lublin to attack Lviv over a long distance. To this end, the army has specially dispatched two thousand Truck for you from the rear. At the latest the morning of tomorrow, 11th Corps must arrive at Lviv and launch an attack." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.
"Yes, Chief of Staff." Lieutenant General François replied.
Although, running hundreds of kilometers in one day is a very difficult task for any army. However, Lieutenant General François is still confident to complete it. Anyway, the wheels of the car are driving along the way. It is undoubtedly much easier for soldiers to march in a car than to march on their legs. Although the transportation facilities here are very poor, the roads are mostly dirt roads. But if Truck travels more than 100 kilometers a day, there should be no problem.
"Colonel Rommel will lead a unit of 8th Armored Division to assist you. The logistics department will supplement Colonel Rommel's troops. By then, it will be restored to more than a hundred vehicles. With the assistance of Armored Forces, it should not be difficult for you to attack Lviv." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.
Lieutenant General François nodded. The Russian army was at Lviv. Originally there were only two Infantry Corps. And there was another Infantry Corps. On the way to Chełm, he was attacked by 51st Infantry Division of 17th Corps and was defeated with heavy losses. This makes the Russian army in Lviv not much larger than 11th Corps. You know, 11th Corps is a Infantry Corps composed of four Infantry Division, with a total strength of more than 65,000 people. Among the three Infantry Corps subordinate to 8th Army Corps, their strength has always been the most powerful.
"Chief of Staff, if possible, I hope to get support from Air Corps!" Lieutenant General François said.
"That's no problem. I will contact Air Corps for you." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.
"In that case, there is no problem at all." Lieutenant General François nodded.
8th Air Corps's performance in this war can be described as stunning. Before the war, no one thought that the aircraft they regarded as toys would be so powerful. Whether it was 8th Air Corps's previous bombing of Russian 9th Army Corps or this time 8th Air Corps's attack on Russian 4th Army Corps, the generals of German military were amazed. This also makes the generals of German military all hope to be assisted by 8th Air Corps aircraft during combat. In this case, their casualties will be greatly reduced.
Early in the morning on October 10, German 11th Corps set off from Lublin. More than 60,000 people in the army all took Truck and rushed to Lviv, which was more than 100 kilometers away.
At the same time, a section of 8th Armored Division led by Colonel Rommel also set off from Chełm and rushed to Lviv.
The main force of German 17th Army Corps went to Zamość to assist 20th Corps and Encirclement Offensive here. After the Russian army of Zamość was eliminated, the main force of Russian 4th Army Corps was considered to be eliminated.
Lviv, the headquarters of Russian 4th Army Corps, General Dimitriev is in a state of restlessness, as if something big is about to happen.
The current battle situation is really unfavorable for Russian 4th Army Corps. General Ivanov It's a pity that I hope they can persist for more than half a month. However, only three days after the battle began, 4th Army Corps had already lost half of its troops. This made General Dimitriev frightened, and the fear of German military rose to the extreme.
"Damn Germany people, how can they be so powerful? Compared with theirs, our army is only two levels apart!" General Dimitriev sighed. Only after you actually fight against German military will you know how terrifying German military is.
"Those two guys Fyodor and Golovin actually surrendered to the Germany people! Where is their integrity? Are they still Russian Empire's generals?" When I think of Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin, they surrendered to German military yesterday. This made General Dimitriev very angry. Although, he knew that it was a choice made by the two of them when they were desperate, and there was no way around it. However, the surrender of the two people made General Ivanov very angry. However, considering that this is the critical moment of the battle, it was not dealt with. Once the battle is over, he will definitely be dealt with.
If the Russian army wins, it's easy to say that they can make up for their mistakes. However, if defeated, the consequences may be very serious.
"General, General Boris is here." The adjutant reported to General Dimitriev.
"Yeah!" General Dimitriev nodded. General Dimitriev is also very angry about Lieutenant General Boris and his 22nd Infantry Corps who were defeated by German military. If they could arrive in time, Chełm might be able to hold on, and Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin would not surrender to the Germany people. Everything will never be like it is now.
To a certain extent, the culprit behind all this is Lieutenant General Boris. If possible, General Dimitriev would like to kill Lieutenant General Boris immediately. But unfortunately, he currently does not have the power to directly shoot a lieutenant general.
"General!" Lieutenant General Boris lowered his head after seeing General Dimitriev. He also knew that he had caused a big disaster this time.
"General Boris, I sent you to lead 22nd Army Corps to reinforce Chełm, but what did you do?" General Dimitriev roared angrily.
"General, I don't want this to happen! The Germany people are really too powerful. We were flanked by their aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery. Their attack power was far beyond our expectations. That's why my troops were defeated." Lieutenant General Boris explained.
General Dimitriev knows that what Lieutenant General Boris said is the truth. Any Russian army would probably collapse in the face of such a situation. However, he couldn't swallow the feeling in his heart.
General Dimitriev directly scolded Lieutenant General Boris, vented his anger, and then let Lieutenant General Boris go. Moreover, General Dimitriev gave Lieutenant General Boris a chance to make up for his mistakes.
And Lieutenant General Boris naturally didn't dare to complain at all.
