Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Under the crazy conscription of the Rakshasa Empire, Goremekin really managed to recruit tens of millions of troops in just one month.

But these so-called soldiers had no training at all. Each of them was given a military uniform and assigned to various legions. However, these soldiers have not experienced training, so they don't know how much they can do on the battlefield.

Perhaps in the eyes of the senior officials of the Rakshasa Kingdom, these ten million soldiers are worthless. Even if they all die, they can still recruit the next ten million soldiers.

However, the senior leaders of the Rakshasa Empire still ignored one thing, that is, their own military manufacturing industry could not arm these soldiers in just one month.

Basically, it can only be done with three people and one gun, and each person has five rounds of ammunition.

But they didn't care at all, they just wanted to send these soldiers to the front line as soon as possible.

As a result, these recruits were put on trains and transported to the western front.

General Ivanov, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front of the Rakshasa Empire, was originally an artilleryman. He is one of the top ten generals of the Rakshasa Empire.

To be fair, Admiral Ivanov still has some abilities, but he is not the most outstanding among the top ten generals.

Strictly speaking, the Galician campaign he planned still had a good chance of defeating the opposing Austro-Hungarian Empire.

But he never expected that after his plan was put forward, the required 36 infantry divisions were met, and even exceeded his expectations. A full 50 infantry divisions were sent to him.

But the problem is, he went to see all these soldiers, and they were all new recruits.

They have not experienced the flames of war, have not received any training, and many of them have never even touched a gun.

In terms of logistical supplies, it is even more embarrassing. Three people have one gun. With this ratio, he can defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the opposite side. Isn't this a joke?

If he had known this, he felt that he should not have submitted the plan.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

When these new recruits were sent over, Goremekin began to urge him to implement the plan immediately.

It is difficult for Ivanov to imagine what kind of disaster it would be if these people were really sent to the front line. He now felt as if he had dug a big hole for himself.

In particular, Goremekin told Ivanov that Nicholas II valued this battle very much. Nicholas hoped that through this battle, he could change the world's view of the Rakshasa Empire.

Therefore, he asked Ivanov to win this battle, otherwise, the furious Nicholas II would most likely let Ivanov bear all the responsibility.

In fact, Goremekin did not even give Ivanov any time to train.

Forced to do anything, Goremekin could only ask the Southwest Front to start marching according to the original plan.

In fact, at this time, in addition to the 50 infantry divisions newly sent by Goremekin, Ivanov also had his original 20 infantry divisions, plus 12 cavalry divisions.

His plan required 36 additional infantry divisions and 12 cavalry divisions, but only the infantry divisions came. Although there were 14 more infantry divisions than he requested, the combat effectiveness did not increase, but dropped significantly. few.

As for the new cavalry division requested, not even a shadow was seen.

Therefore, the actual strength of Ivanov now is 70 infantry divisions and 12 cavalry divisions, of which only 20 are veterans of the divisions who have experienced the baptism of war. The combat effectiveness of the other 50 infantry divisions can only be about equal to zero.

In 1913, the end of July.

The commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front of the Rakshasa Empire, General Nikolai Yudovich Ivanov, issued an order requiring the 3rd and 8th armies of the front to be deployed in the direction of Dubno and Lviv, and in the direction of Proskuro The 4th and 5th Army Groups were to carry out major assaults from the north to Przemysl to block the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and to withdraw southward across the Dniester River and westward. Withdraw to Krakow.

Archduke Friedrich, Marshal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, immediately made corresponding adjustments. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's First and Fourth Army, led by General Kummer, launched a major assault on Lublin and Seabirds. He wanted to use this to break the right wing of the Rakshasa Empire's Southwest Front.

That is, the fourth and fifth armies of the Southwest Front of the Rakshasa Empire. The right wing of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was handed over to the Third Army and General Kvais's Army Group.

Starting from May 1913, 5, Archduke Friedrich concentrated two-thirds of his troops in the main offensive direction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, preparing for a frontal assault.

The remaining one-third of the troops are to contain the Rakshasa Empire's third and eighth armies.

At this point, on the Eastern European front, another battle began with both sides investing more than 200 million soldiers.

By May 1913, 5, the two sides had their first contact.

A huge encounter took place on a 320-kilometer-long front.

The Austrian 1st and 4th armies, which attacked Lublin and Seabirds, severely damaged the Rakshasa Empire near Krasnik and Komarów respectively, forcing the Rakshasa Empire's [-]th and [-]th armies to retreat to Lublin. Near Cheium and Vladimir-Volynsky.

The Fourth Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire formed an encirclement of the Fifth Army of the Rakshasa Empire.

However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire subsequently encountered stubborn resistance from the Rakshasa Empire, which resulted in heavy losses and its inability to advance, thus slowing down its advance.

General Ivanov seized the opportunity and ordered the 8th and 3rd Army of the Southwest Front to launch a counterattack.

The Austro-Hungarian 3rd Army misjudged the strength of the Rakshasa Empire, so it abandoned its position and took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the Rakshasa Empire. As a result, they were attacked head-on by the Rakshasa Empire near the Zvotalipa River, resulting in heavy casualties.

Subsequently, the Third Army of the Rakshasa Empire broke through the front of the Austrian army southeast of Lviv. At the same time, the Eighth Army also repelled the Second Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the Serbian battlefield.

Due to the defeat on the battlefield, the right wing of the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to shrink its defense line and retreated towards Gorodok.

On June 1913, 6, the Rakshasa Empire occupied Galich, and on the 2rd, Lviv.

Since his rear was breached, Archduke Friedrich, who was worried that his salient would be surrounded, could only give up the siege of the Rakshasa Empire's Fifth Army and began to turn around to deal with the enemies behind him.

The Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army was moved south to deal with the Rakshasa Empire's Third Army.

From June 6 to June 5, in the Gorodok area, the 6th, 12nd, [-]rd, and [-]th armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire launched an attack on the [-]rd and [-]th armies of the Rakshasa Empire and achieved victory. Some results.

But at this time, the left wing of the Austro-Hungarian Empire deteriorated sharply.

Starting on June 6, the left wing of the Rakshasa Empire launched a full-scale counterattack, forcing the Austro-Hungarian Empire to retreat. The Fifth Army of the Rakshasa Empire attacked the Rava area, threatening the retreat of the Austro-Hungarian Fourth Army and forcing the Austro-Hungarian Empire to abandon Gorodok.

And on the night of the 11th, they began to retreat to the other side of the San River.

At this time, the powerlessness of the Rakshasa Empire's successors completely broke out.
