Jagged Germany

Chapter 341: Scold (seek monthly ticket)

?? Lublin, the temporary headquarters of the German 8th Army, Lieutenant General Ludendorff is talking with Lieutenant General François.

"General François, His Highness has issued an order. Early tomorrow morning, the 11th Army will set off from Lublin and make a long-distance attack on Lviv. For this reason, the Legion has specially dispatched 2,000 trucks for you from the rear. At the latest In the morning of the day after tomorrow, the 11th Army must reach Lviv and launch an attack," Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

?? "Yes, Chief of Staff." Lieutenant General Francois replied.

??Although, it is a very difficult task for any army to attack hundreds of kilometers in one day. However, Lieutenant General François is still confident of completing it. Anyway, along the way, all the wheels of the car are on the road. It is undoubtedly much easier for soldiers to march by car than to march with their legs. Although the traffic facilities here are terrible, most of the roads are dirt roads. However, if the truck drives more than 100 kilometers a day, there should be no problem.

"Colonel Rommel will lead a part of the 8th Armored Division to assist you. The Logistics Department will supplement Colonel Rommel's troops. At that time, it will recover to more than a hundred vehicles. With the assistance of armored troops, attack Lviv, For you, it should not be difficult." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

?? Lieutenant General François nodded. The Russian army in Lviv originally had only two infantry corps. And there was also an infantry corps, which was attacked by the 51st Infantry Division of the 17th Army on the way to Chelm, and was defeated and suffered heavy losses. This makes the number of Russian troops in Lviv not much larger than that of the 11th Army. You know, the 11th Army is an infantry army composed of four infantry divisions, with a total strength of more than 65,000 soldiers. Among the three infantry armies under the Eighth Army, their strength has always been the strongest.

?? "Chief of Staff, if possible, I hope to get the support of the air force!" Lieutenant General Francois said.

?? "It's no problem, the air team, I will contact you." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

?? "In that case, there is no problem at all." Lieutenant General Francois nodded.

??The performance of the 8th Air Force in this war can be described as amazing. Before the war, no one thought that the planes they treated as toys would have such great power. Whether it was the previous bombing of the 9th Russian Army by the 8th Air Force, or the attack by the 8th Air Force on the 4th Russian Army this time, the German generals were amazed. This also makes the generals of the German army all hope that they can get the help of the aircraft of the 8th Air Force during the battle. In this case, their casualties will be greatly reduced.

??In the early morning of October 10th, the German 11th Army set off from Lublin. The whole army consisted of more than 60,000 people, all of whom took trucks and rushed to Lviv, more than 100 kilometers away.

?? At the same time, part of the 8th Armored Division led by Colonel Rommel also set off from Chelm to Lviv.

??The main force of the German 17th Army went to Zamosic to assist the 20th Army and besiege here. After Zamosic's Russian army is eliminated, the main force of the Russian 4th Army can be regarded as eliminated.

??Lvov, the headquarters of the Russian 4th Army, General Dimitriev is restless, as if something big is about to happen.

??The current battle situation is really unfavorable for the Russian 4th Army. Unfortunately, Admiral Ivanov hopes that they can persist for more than half a month. However, only three days after the battle started, the 4th Army had already lost half of its troops. This made Admiral Dimitriev terrified, and his fear of the German army rose to the extreme.

?? "Damn the Germans, how could they be so powerful? Compared with them, our army is completely two levels behind!" Admiral Dimitriev sighed. Only after really fighting the German army will you know how terrifying the German army is.

"The two guys, Fyodor and Golovin, actually surrendered to the Germans! Where are their backbones? Are they still generals of the Russian Empire?" Thinking of Lieutenant Generals Fyodor and Golovin, Surrendered to the Germans yesterday. This made Admiral 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 to do it. However, the surrender of the two made General Ivanov very angry. It's just that, in view of the critical juncture of the battle, it has not been dealt with. Once the battle is over, he must be dealt with.

??If the Russian army wins, it's okay to say that it can make up for it. However, if defeated, the consequences may be very serious.

?? "General, General Boris is here." The adjutant reported to Admiral Dimitriev.

?? "Yes!" Admiral Dimitriev nodded. General Dimitriev was equally angry at the defeat of Lieutenant General Boris and his 22nd Infantry Corps by the Germans. If they had arrived in time, Chelm might have been able to hold it, and Lieutenant General Fyodor and Lieutenant General Golovin would not have surrendered to the Germans. Everything will never be like it is now.

?? To some extent, the culprit of all this is Lieutenant General Boris. If possible, Admiral Dimitriev would like to kill Lieutenant General Boris immediately. But unfortunately, now he 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 this time he had made a big mistake.

?? "General Boris, I sent you to lead the 22nd Army to reinforce Chelm, but what did you do?" Admiral Dimitriev roared angrily.

"General, I don't want this to happen either! The Germans are too powerful. We were flanked by their planes, tanks and heavy artillery. Their attack power far exceeded our expectations. Therefore, my The troops were defeated," Lieutenant General Boris explained.

??Admiral Dmitriev knew that Lieutenant General Boris was telling the truth. Any Russian army would probably collapse in the face of such a situation. However, he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.

??Admiral Dmitriev directly scolded Lieutenant General Boris, vented his anger, and then let Lieutenant General Boris go. Moreover, Admiral Dimitriev gave Lieutenant General Boris a chance to make up for his mistakes.

?? Lieutenant General Boris naturally didn't dare to complain.
