After receiving a telegram from the Fourth Army for help, Ivanov was in a bad mood.

It is very obvious that anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that if the lonely army finds something wrong in depth, they should retreat immediately.

The Fourth Army did not take combat missions and could do it freely. After discovering a large number of enemies, it immediately adjusted the marching speed, maintained a safe distance from the enemy, and waited for reinforcements to arrive?

Even if you realize it later, the Fourth Army can choose to break out and join the Russian army behind before the enemy encirclement is completed.

The Fourth Army has cavalry units, and it is impossible for them to not find any trace of the enemy. The hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized, so it cannot be kept confidential at all.

Ivanov received news of the transfer of the Prussian army in the rear, but it was a little late and before he could react, the Fourth Army's telegram for help came.

There was no radio these days, so the Fourth Army's telegram to ask for help was sent to the 107th Division in the rear through the airship unit and then forwarded to the headquarters.

Even though he had enough time, he did not take action in time, Ivanov had always hated Oppodo, a general who had no view of the overall situation.

Ivanov was also very clear about the reason. The Fourth Army was acting privately. If there were not enough military achievements, they would come back in shame, and the future of commanders such as Oppodo had no longer existed.

Waiting for an opportunity to seize the fighter, the prerequisite is to succeed, and failure is not to seize the fighter.

The competition within the Russian army is also very fierce. Once a stain appears, it is almost impossible to go further.

In addition, if you act privately without asking for instructions, you will be lucky to retire early.

For the sake of personal future, the commanders of the Fourth Army were lucky and dragged on it until now.

This telegram for help seems plain, but in fact it is not without the intention of trashing the blame. It is estimated that the Fourth Army is looking forward to Ivanov's order to withdraw.

Anyone who understands the deployment of the Russian army knows that the Fourth Army is very important for the Warsaw Battle, and the Vistula River is even more related to the subsequent logistics transportation of the Russian army.

"Bang!"

Ivanov slapped the table suddenly and cursed: "Ё6твоюмать!"

“Пошёлнахуй!”

...

Listening to Ivanov's roar, everyone in the command center was worried, afraid of causing trouble.

After scolding for a quarter of an hour, Marshal Ivanov, who had a dry mouth, stopped. He was really angry and had never seen such a trick on his boss.

The Fourth Army was over, and it would be difficult for the Russian army to win the Warsaw Battle. From a military perspective, the situation on the front line is now unclear, and the risk of rashly sending troops to rescue is very high, and it is very likely that the enemy will be surrounded and attacked.

The best strategic choice is to order the Fourth Army to break through and preserve its strength as much as possible.

However, in reality, this cannot be done. When Ivanov's position, soldiers must also consider politics.

He ordered the Fourth Army to retreat. If the troops suffered heavy losses, he would have his own responsibility.

Judging from Oppodo's sexy operation, you will know that there must be someone behind him. This opportunity arises. It is inevitable that these people will tinker with it and put the blame on Ivanov.

Politics is right or wrong, only pros and cons. Don’t expect your opponent to be kind. The bottom line of a politician has never been the lowest, only lower.

After calming down, Ivanov's brows frowned even more. He looked at the map and thought about the enemy's true purpose.

The Fourth Army had a great relationship with the Warsaw Battle, but it was just that for the entire Pratt-Russia War. When the war was fierce, the Russian army suffered more than one hundred thousand losses in a month.

If the war can be won, Ivanov, the Fourth Army, would not blink.

After pondering for a while, Ivanov walked to the combat staff and asked, "Where has our closest troops to the Fourth Army gone?"

The combat staff replied nervously: "The closest is the 107th Division of the Ninth Army, which is now staying in the Radom area; followed by the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army, but they are north of Warsaw and have no way to go for reinforcements."

Ivanov's brows frowned even more. A division's troops were transferred to reinforcements, and they were probably eaten by the enemy halfway.

To rescue the Fourth Army, at least one army's strength is required. Unless the troops that are implementing the Southern Line Strategy are transferred, other troops will not be able to catch up in a short time.

After looking at the distribution of the Russian troops on the map, Ivanov shook his head. In order to rescue the Fourth Army, it was completely unreasonable to give up the battle on the southern front.

The Southern Battle can obtain supplies from Austria, with the minimum logistical pressure. As long as the enemy's defense line is broken, it is very tempting whether it is attacking Berlin west or capturing Poznan north.

After taking Berlin, the Popo Federation was finished; when he captured Poznan and cut off the enemy's connection with the rear, the Popo army in Warsaw became alone.

After pondering for a while, Ivanov said slowly: "Order the Eighth Army, the Ninth Army, and the Tenth Army to form the Southern Front immediately.

General Matilde, the commander of the Eighth Army, was also the commander, General Metler, the commander of the Ninth Army, also the deputy commander, and the commander of the Tenth Army, was also the commander of General Mourinho, as the chief of staff.

Order them to complete the organizational construction as soon as possible in the shortest time, and within one week I will receive news of the outbreak of the Southern Front Battle.”

Extremely irregular personnel appointments, but special treatments are taken during special periods. There is no level of the front army in the Russian army. The army is already the largest unit, and the front army was only temporarily established during the war.

The enemy's main force was in the Warsaw battlefield. Most of the troops on the southern front were second and third-tier troops. It was said that the Southern Front would actually fight separately.

If it really is set up a command center for airborne troops and wait for them to clarify the situation of the troops, it will take at least one month.

It is extremely fast to be a soldier on the battlefield, and it is a waste of a month.

Before this, the Russian army also had a Southwest Front, but was crippled by Moltke in the winter battle last year and then disbanded.

As time goes by, the Russian army's troops continue to expand. The troops of an army range from tens of thousands to about twenty-one thousand. It has the ability to fight alone and the demand for establishing front troops is not so great.

The Russian army ahead was mainly defense. Most of the time, Marshal Ivanov was directly commanding the large corps to fight. Just as the power was delegated, the Fourth Army took action without authorization.

He directly dispelled Ivanov's idea of ​​forming a front army. If it were not for the situation, he would not have established a Southern Front Army.

You should know that the losses caused by a military chaotic situation can be much more serious than that of a military.

The newly released Southern Front Army has very serious internal checks and balances. No one can do anything recklessly.

When fighting, they are directly commanded separately. They are all very familiar to the old troops. They don’t need to be able to break in and they can burst out the maximum combat power in a short period of time.

As for the side effects, Ivanov no longer cares about it. As long as he can win the war, no matter how big the problem is, it is a trivial matter.

After a pause, Ivanov added: "Order the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army to launch an attack on the Warsaw area, let them control the rhythm themselves and not repeat the old things of the Fourth Army. I don't have so many troops to wipe their butts.

Houtff drafted a telegram to St. Petersburg to report on our combat plan and the personnel appointment just now."

Without mentioning the Fourth Army, Marshal Ivanov was obviously planning to ignore them. Anyway, the Fourth Army itself was greedy for merit and made arbitrary moves without asking for instructions. Even if the entire army was wiped out, he would not be responsible.

A middle-aged officer asked, "Marson, what should I do with the Fourth Army?"

Ivanov glared at him fiercely and replied with great dissatisfaction: "What should I do? Just do what I should do!

Didn’t that idiot Obodo claim to be a god of military use? Now the opportunity to show up is here. As long as he can command the Fourth Army to defeat the Prussian Army, all the problems will be solved!”

Defeat the Pu army?

Everyone had already begun to observe silence for the Fourth Army in their hearts. There was no doubt that this was an impossible task.

As if I realized that I had lost my composure, Ivanov sighed: "Order the Third and Sixth Army in the rear to go to rescue, I hope there is still time.

Send orders to the Fourth Army, asking them to formulate their own combat plans and reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible.

Order the airship troops to airdrop supplies for them and generate electricity for St. Petersburg, so that they can get a batch of transport airships as soon as possible, preferably Flying Eagle 4 in Austria."

Do your best and leave your destiny.

This sentence appropriately summarizes Ivanov's order, and the Third Army and the Sixth Army were repaired and supplemented in the rear. When they gathered together to arrive at the front line, it would be impossible to handle it without ten days and half a month.

If something happens in the middle of the journey, such as being blocked by the Prussian army, it may not be possible to get it in a month.

There is only one way to get faster, that is, to send cavalry. Unfortunately, the Russian cavalry was scattered to various units, otherwise more than 100,000 cavalry could also be gathered to try to rescue.

Of course, this only exists in an ideal state. More than 100,000 cavalry gathered together, and logistics alone could make people collapse.

Now the Fourth Army can only rely on itself, and the airship short supplies are more like a kind of comfort. The Russian army has only a few dozen transport airships, and in theory all of them can be operated, and at most forty or fifty tons of supplies can be placed every day.

In fact, on average, seven or eight tons of materials can be placed every day, which is considered God's blessing.

Airships also need maintenance and inspections after each flight, which will consume a lot of time.

In addition, the Russian airships are also scattered all over the country, and the number of them can be gathered in the short term is limited. We also need to consider the bad weather. On average, seven or eight tons of materials can be placed every day, which is really not easy.

Such a little material needs to supply more than 100,000 troops, which is a drop in the bucket. However, if all high-calorie food is transported, it can satisfy the soldiers' rations.
