Jagged Germany

  The disastrous defeat of the Russian 2nd Army at Tannenburg was a major blow to the entire Russian Northwest Front. Although, the strength of the 2nd Army only accounted for 40% of the entire Northwest Front Army. However, without the support of the 2nd Army, can the Russian Army defeat the German 8th Army and realize the planned plan to occupy East Prussia?

   That is obviously impossible! The Battle of Tannenberg has already shown the Russians how powerful the German army is. The strength of the Russian 1st Army, even if it is a little stronger than the 2nd Army, is very limited. Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to defeat the German army.

   General Ivan Jilinsky was having dinner when he learned that the Second Army had suffered a disastrous defeat. The vodka tastes very good with a good steak. In the Kingdom of Poland, the great Russians always had the best of the best. For example, the food on the table and the beautiful Polish girls standing around, as long as General Ivan Jilinski is willing, he can eat them all.

   But it is a pity that General Ivan Jilinsky soon lost the mood to linger on these beautiful girls.

   "General, there is a telegram from the front line." A staff officer rushed in with a look of panic.

   "What happened?" Admiral Ivan Jilinsky said with some displeasure. He was very upset when he was interrupted from eating and watching beautiful women. However, as the commander of the Northwest Front Army and the senior general of the Russian Army, he can still distinguish between the important and the important.

   "General, the 2nd Army suffered a disastrous defeat at Tannenburg. General Samsonov ordered the entire army to disperse and break through. Based on the current situation, very few troops successfully broke through." The staff officer reported.

   "What? That idiot Samsonov, who gave him the order to break through?" Admiral Ivan Jilinsky was furious. From what the staff officer said just now, the 2nd Army may be finished, which made him furious.

  Although the 2nd Army's offensive at Tannenburg was frustrated, Admiral Ivan Jilinsky had a bad feeling and realized that this might be a German conspiracy. Therefore, he changed the battle plan, using the 2nd Army as a bait to hold back the main force of the German army, and put the hope of breakthrough on the 1st Army. However, he never expected that the final result would be like this.

"General, the 2nd Army was attacked fiercely by the Germans. The frontline positions were lost, and the army was defeated in large numbers. Even the Cossack cavalry was used, but they could not stop the German offensive. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. As a last resort, Samsono General Husband ordered the dispersal to break through." The staff officer continued.

   Of course, Admiral Ivan Jilinski knew all this. Admiral Samsonov would never have issued such an order if it had not been a last resort.

   But even so, such a heavy loss still made General Ivan Jilinsky unacceptable.

  The 2nd Army is finished, which also indicates that the Russian Northwest Front Army may have no hope of winning in this battle. It might even fail. Such consequences are not something he can bear.

"Contact Samsonov immediately, I want to know what happened. Why can't the Second Army survive even a day under the German offensive!" Admiral Ivan Jilinsky said with a dark face Said.

  Although, he now knows that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the German army before. However, no matter how strong the German army is, it will not be so strong, right? It is unbelievable to defeat hundreds of thousands of people in the Russian Second Army in one day.

   "Yes, General." The staff officer nodded, ready to leave. He didn't want to stay here any longer and bear the wrath of Admiral Ivan Jilinsky.

   "Wait, send a telegram to General Leiningkamp, ​​telling him to retreat immediately and stop advancing." Admiral Ivan Jilinsky ordered.

  The staff officer was taken aback for a moment, then saluted, turned and left.

   Admiral Ivan Jilinsky ordered the 1st Army to start retreating, which is undoubtedly tantamount to giving up hope of victory. However, this is also impossible! With the disastrous defeat of the 2nd Army, the situation of the 1st Army may also be very dangerous. If you continue to advance, you will inevitably be besieged by the main force of the German army. Even the 2nd Army was defeated in one day. General Ivan Jilinsky didn't think the 1st Army could last long.

   "Damn the Germans, how could their fighting power be so strong." Admiral Ivan Jilinsky couldn't help cursing.

  Although, he thought he had fully understood the strategy of the German army and made deployments. But he still didn't expect that the German army's combat effectiveness would be so powerful, so this time he lost miserably. All he can do now is to withdraw from the 1st Army and preserve his strength.

   As for defeating the German army and winning, this is a matter of the future. You have to get more reinforcements from the country first. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.

  Admiral Ivan Jilinski raised his head, looked at the beautiful Polish girls, and then jumped on them like a hungry tiger. Now he is too angry, he needs to vent his anger well.

  Screams rang out in the room, but no one came to save these Polish girls. Perhaps this is the tragic fate of the enslaved Poles!

   Lake Masuria, the Russian 1st Army is still attacking with difficulty. The difficult road, coupled with the blocking of the German 17th Army, made their advance very slow. At the same time, the casualties of the troops are also increasing. This made General Leiningkamp, ​​the commander of the Russian 1st Army, very depressed.

  Admiral Ivan Jilinsky gave him an order to quickly capture Königsberg at all costs, and then go south to cooperate with the 2nd Army to annihilate the main force of the German army at Tannenburg. Originally, Admiral Leiningkamp thought that this was a good job, allowing his army to rob in the bustling Königsberg. But unexpectedly, they have been delayed in Masurian Lake. This made General Leiningkamp very angry, but he couldn't vent his anger.

   "General, urgent call from Your Excellency Commander!" A staff officer ran towards Admiral Leiningkamp in panic.

   Admiral Leiningkamp couldn't help but frowned.

  However, when he read the telegram, his face also changed drastically.

   "Damn it, how did that fellow Samsonov fail so quickly? From the beginning to the end, this was a German trap!" Admiral Leiningkamp roared in horror.

   "Retreat, the whole army retreats!"
