Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire
Chapter 319 The First Battle on the Eastern Front
For William II, although the war broke out earlier than he expected, it was not too early to accept.
Now that the war has broken out, let's teach the John Empire and the Gallic Empire a lesson.
So, William instead gave orders to Moltke to stop the attack.
The direction of the attack was not the Western Front, but the Eastern Front battlefield.
That's right, after the war was declared, the first country to fight was the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Because he knew that the prerequisite for him to fight a big war on the Western Front was that the Rakshasa Kingdom on the Eastern Front would not stab him in the back.
If you want him not to stab someone, you must first scare him.
Therefore, under the command of Xiao Maoqi, more than [-] soldiers of the Hans Empire launched a full-scale attack on the Rakshasa Kingdom on the east-east front.
The allies of the Hans Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and their younger brothers, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania, while sending troops to Serbia, also formed a coalition to cooperate with the Hans Empire to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom from the Balkan Peninsula.
In fact, the Ottoman Empire faced off against the Rakshasa Kingdom, which started with real fire.
While he sent people to form a coalition with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he also sent people to attack north from Central Asia.
Of course, both the Austro-Hungarian Empire's coalition forces and the Ottoman army attacking from Central Asia were only partial divisions and only played a diversionary role.
The main force that really fought against the Rakshasa Kingdom was the Hans Empire.
According to the original plan, the Eastern Front battlefield was to launch an attack on the Rakshasa Kingdom while the Rakshasa Empire had not yet completed its war mobilization.
According to Xiao Maoqi's expectations, it would take about six weeks for the Rakshasa Kingdom to complete the real mobilization.
So they had plenty of time to send troops to the Eastern Front.
But in reality, the Rakshasa Empire did not use six weeks at all, but six days to complete mobilization and advance to the border of the Hans Empire.
At this time, the Hans Empire deployed less than twenty divisions on the border. On the other hand, the Rakshasa Empire concentrated two armies, with a size of about 60.
On August 8, the two armies crossed the border of the Hans Empire and marched towards Königsberg, the capital of East Prussia.
The East Prussian defenders did not expect that the Rakshasa Army on the opposite side would take the initiative to attack at first. They were somewhat unprepared and could only defend passively.
Wilhelm II was furious when he received the message asking for help discovered in East Prussia.
He felt that he had not yet attacked the Rakshasa Empire, but in the end, someone from the Rakshasa Empire struck him first.
The proud William II would never allow his first battle to end in failure.
Also, where is East Prussia? That is their land of Longxing. How could they allow the Rakshasa barbarians to invade East Prussia?
Therefore, Wilhelm II directly crossed Moltke and asked the twenty divisions preparing the first batch of attacks on the eastern front to immediately stop the offensive plan and quickly reinforce Königsberg.
Little Moltke knew that William II had passed him and issued orders directly to the troops on the front line. Although he was a little unhappy, he could not say anything more.
At the same time, Xiao Maoqi also issued an order to the Eighth Army on the Eastern Front, asking them to launch a counterattack against the invading Rakshasa Empire within two days.
At the same time, Erich von Ludendorff was appointed commander of the Eastern Front, with full responsibility for the Eastern Front battlefield.
Erich von Ludendorff, who was temporarily promoted, immediately showed his amazing commanding talent after receiving the order.
He knew very well that this battle had evolved from attacking the Rakshasa Empire to defending the Rakshasa Empire.
Therefore, the top priority is to prevent the Rakshasa Army from occupying Königsberg.
There were only two divisions garrisoned in Königsberg.
Therefore, he also gave the same order to the twenty vanguard troops who were preparing to attack Rakshasa, asking them to abandon all supplies, take only the necessary weapons and bullets, and rush to Königsberg immediately.
At this time, some people may ask why everyone gave orders to these twenty divisions.
The reason is also very simple. These twenty divisions are prepared to serve as the vanguard. They are the most prepared for war.
They are also the only team that can set off within an hour. If they are not allowed to go, who will be allowed to go?
After receiving the order from General Erich von Ludendorff, these twenty divisions immediately abandoned their artillery and supplies, took only a handful of light weapons, boarded the train, and arrived in Königsberg in the early morning of the 18th.
With the reinforcements of these twenty divisions, in the early morning of the 18th, the Hans Empire launched a small-scale counterattack against the Rakshasa Empire.
The battle lasted all day, and until late at night on the 18th, the Rakshasa Empire was unable to make any progress.
At 19:3 a.m. on the 40th, the leading troops of the Hans Empire's Eighth Army arrived on the battlefield and then began to deploy an encirclement.
Erich von Ludendorff was very ambitious. He wanted to use these two armies and the lives of [-] people to celebrate his promotion.
Therefore, Erich von Ludendorff did not want to defeat the Rakshasa armies of these two armies at all. What he wanted was total annihilation.
The commander of the Rakshasa Empire, Alexander Samsonov, sensed something was wrong.
He felt that the reinforcements from the Hans Empire came too quickly.
There is only one situation where such rapid reinforcements can be made, and that is that the Hans Empire originally wanted to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom.
But their attack was interrupted by themselves.
And if you want to attack the Rakshasa Empire, the army you need is definitely not a small number.
This can only be done if you have at least one army group.
So the question is, can the two armies on our side defeat one army of the Hans Empire head-on?
General Alexander Samsonov wanted to say yes, but reason told him that this was impossible.
Since we cannot defeat them, we need to consider withdrawing our troops.
If the people of the Hans Empire were to defeat their two armies here, then there would be a very big hole in the border of the entire Rakshasa Empire.
The Hans Empire can completely exploit these loopholes and directly invade the empire.
General Alexander Samsonov did not dare to bet on whether the Hans Empire could really concentrate more than one army group. He only knew that now that he could not attack Königsberg, he would have to consider retreating.
Therefore, General Alexander Samsonov ordered that at 19 a.m. on the 6th, the two armies of the Rakshasa Empire slowly retreated to the border.
Erich von Ludendorff also issued an order to his group, requiring that a full-line offensive must be launched before 19:6 in the morning on the [-]th.
The two men's battle plans were only half an hour apart, and it was only half an hour that prevented the destruction of the two armies under General Alexander Samsonov.
When the Rakshasa Kingdom's legions began to withdraw from their positions and retreat, the Hans Empire was just preparing to attack.
Seeing that the meat in his mouth wanted to run away, Erich von Ludendorff was naturally unwilling, and he immediately ordered a pursuit.
The entire battle evolved from a positional battle into a pursuit battle.
(The number of commanders in all wars will not be written according to real history. This needs to be avoided. Everyone knows the reason, but I will try my best to deduce the process according to history. Thank you for your understanding.)
