Jagged Germany

Chapter 284: The air team is dispatched (ask for a monthly ticket)

  The 1st Russian Guards Army, as the ace unit of Tsar Nicholas II, is undoubtedly a very elite unit. However, that is relative. In front of the German 8th Army, this is not an elite at all. The same troops, the 8th Army can use their own strength to deal with two or three.

"It is true that the 1st Guards Army cannot be easily mobilized. However, we have to find a way to get the 1st Guards Front Army to be transferred out. Tsar Nicholas II can't make up his mind, so we will help him make up his mind .” Qin Tian said.

   "Your Highness, what can you do?" Admiral Hindenburg asked.

"If, after we have eliminated the Russian Ninth Army, we cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to eliminate the Russian Southwest Front Army. I don't believe that under such circumstances, Nicholas II can still sit still !" Qin Tian's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty.

  General Hindenburg and Major General Ludendorff both nodded repeatedly, thinking that this method is undoubtedly very feasible.

"Your Highness, if we can really cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to eliminate the Russian Southwest Front Army, then Nicholas II is really likely to send out the 1st Guards Front Army if he has to." Hindenburg said the admiral.

  Russia's standing army is 1.4 million. In addition to the 400,000 guards, there are millions of troops deployed in other regions. After the war broke out, Russia carried out general mobilization on the one hand, and on the other hand mobilized the standing army to take the lead in launching the attack. It can be said that 80% of the standing army other than the Guards are assembled in the Northwest Front Army and the Southwest Front Army. If the German 8th Army eats up the Russian Northwest Front Army, and eats up both the 2nd Guards Army and the Russian 9th Army, and also solves the Russian Southwest Front Army by the way, it is tantamount to The standing army of the Russian army was almost wiped out. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Russian Army.

  The loss of so many troops will inevitably make the Russian army unable to defend the vast territory. Even if they mobilized a large number of troops, how could those hastily formed second-line troops be opponents of the German army and the Austro-Hungarian Army? Although the Austro-Hungarian Army cannot beat the Russian standing army, there is no reason why they can't even beat the second-line troops of the Russian Army! Coupled with the wolf-like German army, the Russians are even more of an opponent.

  In order to stabilize the situation on the front line, Nicholas II will inevitably transfer the 1st Guards Army to the front line. And this gave the Russian cloth party and other organizations and forces dissatisfied with the Russian government an excellent opportunity. As long as they take the opportunity to launch an uprising, civil strife in Russia is inevitable. It is even possible to overthrow the Tsarist government like another time and space. If the cloth party can win the civil strife and grasp the state power. Then, Germany will be able to quickly win the Eastern Front and gain huge benefits. The German troops withdrawn from the Eastern Front can all be thrown into the Western Front. Qin Tian believed that defeating the British and French allied forces would not be a problem at all.

   "Your Highness, the 9th Army of the Russian Army has already begun to retreat. The 20th Army is in pursuit. However, the strength of the 20th Army is still too small." Major General Ludendorff said.

"Let the 11th Army, the 17th Army, and the 8th Armored Division all pursue it! No matter what, the most important thing right now is to eat up the Russian 9th Army. As for dealing with the Russian Southwest Front Army, we need It is only necessary to cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I will ask the Ministry of the Army and the General Staff to contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Qin Tian said.

   "Yes, Your Highness." Major General Ludendorff nodded.

   "Let the Eighth Air Force dispatch to bomb the Russian Ninth Army, and slow down their retreat as much as possible." Qin Tian continued. Once the Russian Ninth Army retreats, preventing them from retreating becomes the most important thing for the German Eighth Army. Qin Tian had already considered that while the ground troops were chasing them, he would send out an air force that had already formed combat effectiveness to attack the Russian army. In this case, it will undoubtedly play a big role.

  Although, it is impossible to destroy the Russian Ninth Army by means of air strikes. But as long as they can delay their retreat and buy enough time for the 8th Army to successfully catch up with the Russian 9th Army, it will be a victory.

   "Yes, Your Highness."

  The 8th Air Force under the 8th Army of the German Army has so far owned nearly 300 combat aircraft, of which the number of fighters and bombers each accounted for half.

  In addition to having a large airport in Königsberg, there are also military airports in the east and south of East Prussia.

  Because of the existence of Qin Tian, ​​Germany has always been at the leading level in the world in the field of aviation. Whether it is an F2 fighter jet or an H1 bomber, they are definitely ahead of other countries' fighter jets. This can be seen from the air forces of Britain, France and other countries that the German air force killed on the Western Front.

   It's just that, compared to other colleagues who have massacred on the Western Front and achieved one victory after another, the officers and soldiers of the 8th Air Force are a little depressed. You know, they are among the various air teams of the German Army, the first one to be established, the one with the best flying skills, and the one with the strongest combat effectiveness.

   Originally, everyone thought that they could make contributions in this war and let the whole world know their strength. But unfortunately, because the Russian army does not have any decent air power, they are also useless as heroes. Apart from serving as a reconnaissance mission, there is no chance of dispatching at all.

   Of course, there is no other way. The Russians don't have many planes, so they can't consume precious aviation fuel and fly to the sky to hunt birds, right?

   "General, an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Königsberg, the headquarters of the German 8th Air Force, the office of Commander Brigadier General Corey was pushed away.

  However, Brigadier General Corey doesn't have the heart to blame the adjutant for breaking in without his permission. He snatched the telegram from the adjutant's hand and read it.

   "Haha, that's great. We finally have a chance to go to the battlefield! Order all pilots and aircraft, get ready. After half an hour, take off to fight!" Brigadier General Corey ordered.

   "Yes, General."

  The pilots of the German 8th Air Force have already made preparations. After receiving the order, it can take off to fight soon.
